Alarm after Elias Irizarry is hired to position in office that manages highly classified military operations
The Pentagon has appointed a rioter convicted for his role in 6 January, 2021 insurrection to a sensitive national security role dealing with counterterrorism, overriding insiders’ concerns about his past record.
Elias Irizarry, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge in connection with the storming of the US Capitol, has been appointed to a position in the US Department of Defense’s special operations and low intensity conflict office which manages highly classified military operations, causing alarm among Pentagon officials.
The story was first reported by the Washington Post, which published a picture of Irizzary – holding what appeared to be a metal pole and wearing a pro-Donald Trump Make America Great Again (Maga) hat – looking over a wall on the day of the riot.
My fellow Americans, why are you at work and not filling the streets?
Because the population is so far in debt to the banks they can’t risk their whole life falling apart to protest.
No job = no rent/mortgage/car payments/health care/school/day care/food/retirement.
Not to mention the 60k average student loans.
So yeah, who will protest when it means you will end up homeless on a country where it is essentially illegal to be homeless?
Life is just good enough where most people don’t care as much, because their frame of reference is the one small bad act that just happened. Bad things progressing slowly over time is the strategy of fascists. Most people don’t realize what has been lost, they largely only remember when it affects them personally. The goalposts have been incrementally moving, shifting chaos into normalcy. As long as things get worse slowly, most people won’t notice. Social media has only exacerbated the short attention spans of the masses.
The planet’s climate is catastrophically changing, dictatorships are emerging all over the world and even in your own country, and a few rich assholes literally own everything, but god forbid, we can’t stop working or scrolling Tiktok.
Don’t forget people are vulnerable to propaganda and misinformation. Not to mention social media brainrot.
Our descendants will all be housed in their own Delaney Halls
They filled the streets three times already. It did nothing.
Thats because filling the streets is step 1, they never got to step 2, where you.pull the people fucking your community out of their offices and beat their asses.
Gotta replace step 1 and step 2 with amendement 1 and amendement 2.
Why? Its a timeless human tradition that so famously never happens in America because the last time it did we’re still glazing it 250 years later
The county wars were a thing, Americans used to frequently shoot corrupt officials. It just usually didn’t break past the state level because that’s around when those in power wisened up a bit.
Theres also the battle for Blair mountain but its a forgotten art in modern day USA.
250 years is about the lifespan of an empire.
