If the New War on Terror Is Fought Like the Last One…
2021-02-07
[PJ] CIA agent Kevin Carroll wants a new war on terror. He wrote Monday: "We defeated al Qaeda and can do the same to the fascist thugs who attacked our democracy last month. But only if we take similar hard measures against the enemy within." Trump supporters were offended by this, but it’s actually the best idea anyone has had since Donald Trump decided to go down that escalator and run for president.

The new war on terror will not be fought only against those who want to overthrow the government. Carroll’s CIA colleague Robert Grenier told NPR Tuesday that "even at the seeming height of the crisis immediately after 9/11," he explained, "there really weren’t that many members of al-Qaida in Afghanistan." So it wasn’t only they who had to be hunted down. What was done to al-Qaeda and has to be done now, Grenier said, is "to remove the supportive environment in which they were able to live and to flourish."

The "supportive environment" in which the Capitol rioters "flourish" is you, me, and Aunt Mabel, ordinary Americans who committed the crime of voting for Donald Trump.

#5  Perhaps the answer is to remove the Trumpers from the society that they threaten. That way the central government can protect "democracy" from them. Als the government can more easily "help" the removed Trumpers if they are grouped them together, this would hlep logistics, and pacify them by keeping them with those of their own cultural type. And to keep them from escaping back to harm society, it would be necessary for Government Security to concentrate together a large number of these misfits into a smaller area to be better to control them against their inherent white supremacist violent behavior. There is a need to keep them away from society the Government is trying to protect. Such concentrations of Trump supporters would necessarily need to be kept away from urban centers, so perhaps the Government Security forces could set up camps in the rural areas.

There's the answer, concentration camps!

#3  ^ Oh! I got it late. They actually meant Americans!

Americans who supported Trump and conservative national values and anti-globalist policies. They have to be... removed.

"In fact we must uproot it... and bring it here."
