You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

They know what they say is untrue, they do not care it is untrue.
The media know that what they repeat is untrue, they do not care it is untrue.
Their supporters know what they are told is untrue, they do not care it is untrue.
Telling the truth is not enough, unless people care about the truth.

The task for political leadership now is not just to tell the truth, but to make people care about what is true and what is not.

Be clear on the fact that this regime will keep murdering us in broad daylight until the people behind all this are removed from power. Not quarreled with—removed from power.
If any part of you thinks this will get better or stay the same rather than get exponentially worse, stop thinking that way.

“We look for details that might explain why these people were subjected to this treatment, details that might reassure us that we, by contrast, are not in danger. […] But that’s not how state terror works.”

Alex Pretti, whom DHS labeled a domestic terrorist, honoring a veteran that passed away in the ICU.
The Magats have really lost the plot with this one. This is a man that not only didn't hate his country or its service members but honored them and their service.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

“Heartbroken but also very angry… sickening lies by the administration… reprehensible and disgusting… Alex is clearly not holding a gun… please get the truth out about our son, he was a good man…”

A 20 minute lunchtime walk helped considerably when my work was doing my head in! (nothing dramatic just the usual academic mince).

Dear ERC President: Considering your Council decided not to give me an ERC Consolidator Grant for having devised 8 great work packages PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Research, although it will always be predominant, but can now think of what is good and proper for me.
