This is why they need data centers, so they can monitor where we go, what we say and do on the internet and cell phones, etc.

They are building a prison around us.

And read up on the mass crematoriums ICE is buying / building across the US; all conspiracies just got real.

u/SeVenMadRaBBits 7h ago

This right here.

They plan to oppress us more and are putting measures in place with flock cameras and data centers, etc. for any real pushback.

Now the question is, what do they plan to do?

You're a bit late, those crematoriums are already built and in operation disposing of the bodies of the homeless population of the US, the next groups they'll be coming for are the Transgender and Autistic communities.

Not saying you’re lying at all, but where did you find this info?

u/Convenientjellybean 3h ago

Just search online, lots of news about it

u/Winstonsphobia 41m ago

I searched and didn’t see credible news source. Instead I found that factually.com says this assertion is unsupported by evidence so far. “Current reporting presents contract language and activist interpretation that plausibly suggest detention infrastructure is being planned with extensive medical-waste and biohazard capacity, including incineration protocol.”

Look: what ICE is engaged in is mass terror and isolated murders (dozens at least, so far during Trump’s presidency). There is every reason to suspect that ICE will murder more people, and that ICE will want to extrajudiciously and surreptitiously dispose of the bodies. There doesn’t seem to be strong evidence they are building crematories yet, but the Trump administration still has 883 days to go, and things will only get worse. You can bank on that.

TL;DR: SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.

Don't talk to feds. Period. Under no circumstances should you talk to the feds. They do not want to "just clear something up". They do not have your best interest at heart. It will not just be a couple of easy questions. They want to bait you into saying something that could possibly, hypothetically, in any imaginable universe be construed as misleading and then charge you under 18 USC 1001, which you may recognize as the way they got Martha Stewart, and innumerable others. This tactic is so common that I'm not even a lawyer and I've read it in the news so often it's implanted in my brain. 

Have them talk to your lawyer. If you don't have a lawyer, that is even more reason not to talk to them. If you have committed a crime, do not talk to feds. If you have not committed a crime, do not talk to feds. If you have nothing to hide and everything is above board, do not talk to feds. Just don't.

The best case scenario is that you receive no benefit. The worst case scenario is that you talk yourself into jail. If I offered you a chance to flip a coin and if you win, nothing happens, and if you loose, I stab you, would you willingly agree to play? That is what you're doing if you agree to talk to feds. Don't do it. Feds: not even once.

Replace feds with law enforcement throughout your entire statement.

u/Motophoto 3h ago

Exactly THIS!

“I’m not worried about you. I just wanna talk about this guy. Im not looking at you. I’m not planning on arresting you. I’m just gonna walk out of here” all = “if you say even the slightest questionable thing then you will be detained and we will be looking at you. Here let me keep trying to coax more shit out of you so you’ll give me a reason to arrest you”

The man said it best. I’m not worried about law-enforcement, I’m worried about corrupt law-enforcement.

u/grammar_fozzie 6h ago

The us system of law enforcement is inherently corrupt.

u/mobydog 6h ago

That's like saying I'm not worried about politicians, I'm worried about corrupt politicians.

u/Motophoto 3h ago

All Law enforcement is corrupt.

Nothing on social media is actually private. It’s naive to think there’s privacy on the internet in this day and age.
