From the Right, the Trump regime is contributing to the construction of the gulag by criminalizing wrongthink about the Jews. As Michael Hoffman points out in a recent essay, the communists in Russia did precisely the same thing shortly after they took power (bolding not added):
Donald Trump is the last person most Americans would consider to be a Communist. However, consider these facts from history:
The first Soviet Bolshevik secret police bureau was the Cheka (Чрезвычайная комиссия —"Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution"). It was established December 20, after the October Revolution of 1917. It was the precursor to Soviet secret police agencies such as the GPU, NKVD, and KGB.
One of the first orders imposed by the Bolsheviks for enforcement by Cheka was a decree against anti-Semitism. On July 27, 1918, the Soviet dictatorship, under Vladimir Lenin, issued a directive making anti-Semitism a criminal offense.
Many tens of thousands of Russians were arrested and imprisoned in the Gulag for this thought crime, including hundreds of priests of the Russian Orthodox Church.
As we speak, the US FedGov’s Antisemitism Task Force is fanning out across the States to intimidate anyone who would dare speak out against the atrocities being committed by Netanyahu & Co in Old Israel. David DeCamp reporting:
The US Department of Justice said Thursday that its recently created “Federal Task Force to Combat Antisemitism” will be heading to four US cities as part of the Trump administration’s broad crackdown on college protests critical of Israel.
The DOJ said the task force, led by attorney Leo Terrell, will be visiting the leadership of New York, Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles to discuss “their responses to incidents of antisemitism at schools and on college campuses in their cities over the last two years.”
Never you mind that there were actual Jews who participated in the protests in question:
While the pro-Palestine protests that swept college campuses have been labeled “antisemitic,” many Jewish students and organizations have participated.
Already, one legal US resident has been jailed by the Trump regime for the ‘crime’ of speaking out against the Israeli war in Gaza:
Civil liberties groups have sounded the alarm about the administration’s crackdown on pro-Palestine protests, including the effort to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder arrested by ICE over the weekend for his role in protests at Columbia. Khalil has not been accused of a crime, and the administration is trying to deport him by claiming he’s been involved in activities “contrary to US foreign policy.”
Khalil has been accused of being “pro-Hamas,” a label that the administration hasn’t defined and appears to apply to all critics of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. The White House alleged Khalil was involved in distributing “pro-Hamas propaganda fliers,” but hasn’t offered evidence for the claim.
The threats coming from the Trump DOJ are chilling:
The administration does not just want to target foreigners, as Terrel has said he wants to put “Hamas supporters” in jail and that federal hate crime indictments would be coming soon. “You see all these disorderly demonstrations, supporting Hamas and trying to intimidate Jews? We are going to put these people in jail — not for 24 hours, but for years,” he told Israeli media last month.
To echo the thinking of others out there, it is ironic that the Right, which has railed for years about the injustice of so-called ‘hate crimes’ charges, is now engaging in the same tactic vis-à-vis their amorphous definition of ‘antisemitism’.
Such is the pure and righteous MAGA Right.
But the Leftists are no better. From Raw Egg Nationalist:
