This, imo, is an important article - but there are two others that I was tempted to post - about how the Regime demonizes and creates false fear mongering narratives about their "enemies".  They are unable to prosecute those they target (because the charges are made up), but after they loudly smear people, they then quietly walk back their slander AFTER the news cycle has died down so most people are unaware of the lies.  The propaganda is the point - even when they know they don't have a case, they still "win" by framing public perception.  As the Fascist so often says: Thank you for your attention to this matter!
