»„Einer von uns, alle von euch“ ist ein Spruch aus Nazideutschland. Er entstand, als ein SS-Offizier in einem tschechischen Dorf getötet wurde und die Nazis daraufhin alle Einwohner des Dorfes ermordeten. Genau dieser Satz stand auf dem Pult der US-Regierung. Man muss sich das mal vor Augen führen.«

"One of ours, all of yours" is a line from Nazi Germany. It was coined when an SS officer was killed in a Czech Village and the Nazis killed every single resident of that village in response. This very line appeared on a U.S federal government podium. Let that sink in.

See, it’s not hard to denounce this and toe it into the larger pattern of criminality.

Chris Murphy: "Clearly this is wildly illegal. This is a president who has been operating illegally since he was sworn in -- stealing from the American people, seizing spending power, now dragging America into a war overseas ... Donald Trump's entire foreign policy is corrupt."

Wow, you can replace "Greenland" with "Ukraine" and United States with Russia and this looks - WORD FOR WORD - like something Zelenskyy wrote in 2021 or 2022. Word. For. Word.

randy r. potts @thephatic.bsky.social · 22d

the Premier of Greenland, at Christmas time, forced to acknowledge that Trump is making the same threats Putin used to make regarding Ukraine and hoping against hope that this time will be different -

text:
Premier of Greenland 🇬🇱 statement this morning;

This morning, I am both saddened and grateful 🇬🇱

Saddened, because during a press conference last night, the President of the United States once again expressed a desire to take over Greenland. With such statements, our country is reduced to a question of security and power. That is not how we see ourselves, and it is not how Greenland can or should be spoken about.

We are a people with a long history, a strong culture, and a vibrant democracy. We are a country with responsibility for our own territory and for our own future. Our territorial integrity and our right to self-determination are firmly anchored in international law and cannot simply be ignored.

That is also why I am grateful.

Thank you to everyone here at home for the clear support and unity that has been shown. The calmness and dignity with which you have met this situation send a strong signal of a people who stand firm in their values and in their responsibility.

I would also like to thank heads of government and partners around the world who have clearly and unequivocally expressed their respect for Greenland, for our democratic institutions, and for the fundamental principles of international law. That support confirms that we here at home do not stand alone.

Once again: Greenland is our country. Decisions are made here. And I will at all times fight for our freedom and our right to decide for ourselves and to shape our own future.

For now, I hope that the peace of Christmas can settle over us all.
Merry Christmas
🇬🇱💙🇬🇱

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here.

www.justice.gov/multimedia/C...

Showing highlights of paragraphs 202 through 206 in a doc with 203-205 blacked out. Text in next image

202. Defendants also actively obstructed law enforcement by denying investigators
access to Little St. James beyond its boat dock.

203. Defendants also attempted to conceal their criminal sex trafficking and abuse
conduct by paying large sums of money to participant-witnesses, including by paying for their
attorneys’ fees and case costs in litigation related to this conduct.

204. Epstein also threatened harm to victims and helped release damaging stories
about them to damage their credibility when they tried to go public with their stories of being
trafficked and sexually abused.

205. Epstein also instructed one or more Epstein Enterprise participant-witnesses to
destroy evidence relevant to ongoing court proceedings involving Defendants’ criminal sex
trafficking and abuse conduct.

206. Defendants also concealed their fraud on the Government in obtaining unearned
tax benefits by providing false testimony and submitting false and inaccurate reporting to the
Economic Development Commission to prevent detection of Defendant Southern Trust
Company’s non-compliance with requirements concerning the nature of its business and the
residency of the persons it employed.

Die US-Politologen, die einst das Konzept des „kompetitiven Autoritarismus“ für Länder wie Ungarn unter Orban o. die Türkei unter Erdogan entwickelt haben, sagen nun:
Auch die USA sind nach 10 Monaten Trump II in diesem Stadium angekommen. Sie sind keine voll funktionsfähige Demokratie mehr.

Brendan Nyhan @brendannyhan.bsky.social · Dec 12

The leading scholars of democratic decline say the US "has descended into competitive authoritarianism" - we "ceased to be a full democracy in the way that Canada, Germany, or even Argentina are democracies" - but caution that it can be contested and reversed

In Magdeburg sagt Friedrich Merz einen Satz, von dem er offenbar nicht weiß, wie er im Osten ankommt. Er hat ihn auch im Wahlkampf schon oft gesagt: „Ich hatte das große Glück, im Westen geboren zu sein." kein böser Wille. Aber die Gesichter im Publikum sprechen Bände. #LPT
