Introduction by desmond morista:
This morning (January 21, 2026) sees Trump (swathed no doubt in the best diaper job his medical team and handlers can manage) in Air Force One on his way to Davos, Switzerland actually he has now spoken. He is participating in day 2 of one of the most important Global Ruling Class Public meetings (with its many private tet-a-tets between arch-criminal capitalists and their minions). Over the past few days he made various strident statements including proclamations about Greenland, the Nobel Peace Prize, his letter to the prime minister of Norway, and public statements in which he whined about not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and his intention to use tariffs on European products to force the E.U. to knuckle under to his will. Some of this was enunciated while he was standing at the bottom of of the stairs to some presidential aircraft (always referred to a Air Force One when moving the president). It is notable that if the U.S. actually had to enforce some of Trump's dictums, it would be engaged in wars in three places just for starters (Iran, Venezuela, and Greenland), all while the Federal Government has committed all the available internal thugs (ICE employees) to the terror campaign being conducted on Minneapolis / St. Paul. As Chris Hedges pointed out in Item 1)., “The Machinery of Terror: ….” we can certainly expect an increasingly harsh agenda from the Trumpista Authoritarian Regime. Also Heather Cox Richardson (HCR) points out in Item 2)., “Politics Chat, ….” this is all hoopla primarily intended to draw attention away from Trump's ever looming Sexual Perversion scandal and the massive cache of documents and blackmail videos the Department of Justice is hiding. In addition HCR discusses the previous unsuccessful ICE attempts to terrorize and subdue larger cities such as Chicago and Los Angeles. ICE had to attack a Blue City a size magnitude smaller than places like Chicago and Los Angeles. The dynamics of political posturing and socioeconomic manuevering is addressed by Marc Elias in Item 3)., “The Secret Alliance ….” in which he discusses the distressing cowardice of the major law firms, corporations, and other influential groups in surrendering to the Trumpista Regime. Major Law firms that once provided pro bono legal services to civil rights causes are now providing massive amounts of pro bono legal services to the Fascist and Authoritarian program that Trump is the symbol, if not the actual leader of. Elias does discuss the proliferation of small law and citizen organizations that are acting to oppose and defy the far-right.
The result, so far, of the ICE attack on Minneapolis, concentrating all the available ICE thugs in a horrific standoff that has generated endless videos of outrageous attacks on American Citizens with clumsy violence often perpetrated against women or elderly people or children. These people are usually attacked while merely trying to take care of domestic cares like taking children to school or to medical visits; or even more horrifically attacks on people in their houses resulting in videos such as that of an elderly naturalized citizen from Laos being led out of his home in socks and underwear into freezing conditions after ICE thugs broke down his front door (this embarrassing incident ended up with him being brought back home what happened to his front door I do not know). Item 4)., “The Killing of Renee Good ….”, and Item 5)., “From Palestine to Minneapolis ….”cf, These attacks on people on the street, and in their homes, ended up providing the Left and those resisting the assault on Minneapolis with the first significant Martyr, Renee Good, who was executed by an especially vicious ICE thug, one Jonathan Ross. Ross's actions, and his creepy disdain for the woman he had just killed, were captured by a combination of videos recorded by a variety of people (including himself) using their cell phones. The Trumpista Department of Justice (DOJ) has now indicted and/or launched investigations of, as Minnesota Governor Walz pointed out, everybody except the Thug who actually killed Renee Good. These include her widow (who is caring for the 6 year old little boy left behind by the state sanctioned murder of his mother), as well as Minnesota Governor Walz, the mayor of Minneapolis Jacob Frey, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, and various others. Meanwhile ICE continues to target working class people including outrages such as the tear gassing of Roosevelt High School, attacks on day care centers, and attacks on hospitals and health clinics.
All the internal struggles aside, Trump has arrived in Davos and apparently intends to pursue his desire to annex Greenland (where eight NATO allies have dispatched some token military forces to resist the expected U.S. civil / military occupation of that huge island.) Some analysts note that the U.S. is understood as being a weakened hegemon by the opposing Great Powers Russia and most importantly China with unresolved internal problems and political and socioeconomic weaknesses. There has been a large number of excellent articles posted and commented about here at TCS, over the 3 Weeks plus since the U.S. Commando Raid abducted Nicolas Maduro and his wife, that have looked at the ramifications of the Trump Venezuela Commando Raid and the partial takeover of Venezuela's fossil fuel resources, along with the numerous perceptive comments.
I posted three comments on Venezuela earlier, first on January 1, 2026, “Ominous Developments in the U.S. Ruling Class' Tactics as the Epstein Scandal is Deflected by the Corrupted Department of (In)Justice and the Largely Ineffective Judicial System”, at < https://ongoingclassstruggle.
At this moment Trump is at the dais in Davos talking to the wealthy oligarchs and their right-wing operatives extolling the attacks on any progressive elements in the U.S. Federal government that he, and more importantly his real minions and handlers such as Stephen Miller and Russel Vought, have destroyed. Earlier the arch-criminal financier Elon Musk led the way with extra-legal attacks on many Federal Governmental programs that benefitted the common people, but the massive egos of Trump and Musk clashed, though not before Trump hosted Musk's lineup of Electric Vehicles hawking them displayed like at a car lot on the grounds of the White House. Nonetheless the thrust of the Trumpian Regime is to totally defeat the working class and leave them bereft of the advantages of modern civilization (such as effective vaccines and modern public health, public libraries and school libraries and access to accurate information, independent media and news reporting, provision of reproductive healthcare that is not subject to the malign corporate or theocratic forces that currently dominate those issues in nearly half the country, etc.). The Trumpista forces are trying to push the socioeconomic and political reality of both the U.S. and the rest of the world far to the right of where it currently is located. But hard-nosed analyses see that, despite the militaristic and bombastic forays of Trump into world affairs, the influence and power of the U.S. is, and has been for a couple of decades now, in general decline.
Item 6). “Top Risks 2026, ….” presents some analysis from a center right Geostrategic Policy and Analysis Company. It is certainly more generous to the U.S. far-right than I would be but is pretty good and very hard-nosed in its scrutiny and examination of the current standing of the U.S. in world affairs. In general they see a constant diminution of U.S. Power as the society pursues a policy of increasing the energy resources used by previous world powers while China pursues a mix of energy much more, if not totally, oriented towards renewable energy.
EURASIA GROUP'S TOP RISKS FOR 2026: Top Risks is Eurasia Group's annual forecast of the political risks that are most likely to play out over the course of the year. This year's report was published on 5 January 2026. The changing balance of power between the U.S. clearly the declining hegemon whose position as “leader” of The West is fast ebbing while China is rising rapidly in the industrial, scientific, technological, cultural, and political fields. Just one key indicator is national Electricity Generating Capacity. The graphic below shows how China, just from 2000, has increased its national Electricity Generating capacity about 8 ½ times up to 2024; and continues to increase its capacity at about 10 times the rate at which the U.S. is adding to its capacity:
“The AI race raises the stakes. While the United States still leads frontier model development, China’s dominance over the electro-industrial stack could prove decisive for powering and deploying AI at scale. AI requires massive amounts of electricity to train and run, and Beijing produces 2.5 times as much electricity as the US and is pulling further ahead. In 2024 alone, China added 429 gigawatts (GW) of new power capacity, more than a third of the entire US grid; America added 51 GW. Perhaps more importantly, AI models need physical systems—autonomous vehicles, drones, robots, motors, and smart infrastructure—to be useful, all of which run on the electric stack China controls. (Emphasis added) …
“Washington’s fossil-first posture puts it out of step even with traditional energy players. India wants to replicate
China’s success in leveraging electrotech for broader economic development. Europe is looking for ways to
reduce fossil fuel dependence, including through an expanded continental grid and investment in the electric
stack. Gulf economies are carving out roles for themselves in new energy supply chains and AI deployment. Even Saudi Arabia is looking to solar to power its data centers.
“As Chinese EVs, batteries, and drones flood global markets while American LNG faces tepid demand, expect frustration to build in Washington. In the near term, this could manifest as tariff threats to force trading partners to buy more US hydrocarbons or perhaps restrictions on smaller countries that adopt Chinese energy infrastructure. Aggressive retaliation—such as sanctions on Chinese electrotech firms—is unlikely as long as the Trump administration continues to prioritize bilateral stability with Beijing (please see Box 5: US-China détente won’t collapse). But for governments trying to navigate longer-term US-China decoupling without alienating either side, this divergence introduces a new geopolitical pressure point that will sharpen over time. (Emphasis added)
“The spread of cheap electrotech is good news for the world. It enables more resilient energy systems, creates new opportunities for AI deployment, and maintains momentum for the global energy transition. But on current trends, the United States is positioned to capture few of those benefits and bear substantial costs: commercial losses as Chinese exports displace American fossil fuels, geopolitical setbacks as emerging markets build on Beijing’s platforms, and growing doubts about whether America is running the right AI race at all. China bet on electrons. The US bet on molecules. In 2026, we’ll start to see who was right.” (Emphasis added) {See Top Risks 2026, Chp 2, “Overpowered”, pgs 10 & 11, at < https://www.eurasiagroup.net/

The Machinery of Terror
The Missing Link - by Mr. Fish
I have seen the masked goons who terrorize our streets before. I saw them during the “Dirty War” in Argentina, where 30,000 men, women and children were “disappeared” by the military junta. Victims were held in secret prisons, savagely tortured and murdered. To this day, many families do not know the fate of their loved ones.
I saw them in El Salvador, when death squads were killing 800 people a month. I saw them in Guatemala under the dictatorship of José Efraín Ríos Montt. I saw them in Augusto Pinochet’s Chile and in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. I saw them in Iran under the rule of the ayatollahs where I was arrested and jailed twice and once deported in handcuffs. I saw them in Hafez al-Assad’s Syria. I saw them in Bosnia, where Muslims were herded into concentration camps, executed and buried in mass graves.
I know these goons. I have been a prisoner in their jails and spent hours in their interrogation rooms. I have been beaten by them. I have been deported, and in several cases banned, from their countries. I know what is coming.
Terror is the engine that empowers dictatorships. It eliminates dissidents. It silences critics. It dismantles the law. It creates a society of timid and frightened collaborators, those who look away when people are snatched off streets or gunned down, those who inform to save themselves, those who retreat into their tiny rabbit holes, pulling down the blinds, desperately praying to be left in peace.
Terror works.
The iron doors have not yet shut. There are still protests. The media is still able to document state atrocities, including the Jan. 7 murder of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jonathan Ross. But the doors are closing fast. ICE has deported over 300,000 people and detained nearly 69,000 others — as well as been involved in 16 shootings, including four killings — since Trump began his campaign against immigrants.
ICE, our Americanized Gestapo, is being birthed.
Resistance must be collective. We must assert not only our individual rights, but economic, social and political rights — without them we are powerless. Resistance means organizing to disrupt the machinery of commerce and government. It means preventing arrests by patrolling neighborhoods to warn of impending ICE raids. It means protesting outside detention facilities. It means strikes. It means blocking streets and highways and occupying buildings. It means providing photographic evidence. It means sustained pressure on local politicians and police to refuse to cooperate with ICE. It means providing legal representation, food and financial assistance to families with members detained. It means a willingness to be arrested. It means a nationwide campaign to defy the state’s inhumanity.
If we fail, the dimming flames of our open society will be snuffed out.
Authoritarian states are constructed incrementally. No dictatorship advertises its plan to extinguish civil liberties. It pays lip service to liberty and justice as it dismantles the institutions and laws that make liberty and justice possible. Opponents of the regime, including those within the establishment, make sporadic attempts to resist. They throw up temporary roadblocks, but they are soon purged.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn in “The Gulag Archipelago” notes that the consolidation of Soviet tyranny “was stretched out over many years because it was of primary importance that it be stealthy and unnoticed.” He called the process “a grandiose silent game of solitaire, whose rules were totally incomprehensible to its contemporaries, and whose outlines we can appreciate only now.”
“What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?” Solzhenitsyn asks. “Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. Or what about the Black Maria sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur — what if it had been driven off or its tires spiked? The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!”
Czesław Miłosz, in “The Captive Mind,” also documents the creep of tyranny, how it advances stealthily, until intellectuals are not only forced to repeat the regime’s self-adulating slogans but, as our leading universities did when they caved to false allegations of being bastions of antisemitism, embrace its absurdism.
Manufactured fear engenders self-doubt. It makes a population — often unconsciously — conform outwardly and inwardly. It conditions citizens to relate to those around them with suspicion and distrust. It destroys the solidarity vital to organizing, community and dissent.
The historian Robert Gellately, in his book “Backing Hitler: Consent and Coercion in Nazi Germany,” argues that state terror in Nazi Germany was effective not because of omnipresent state surveillance, but because it fostered a “culture of denunciation.”
Rat out your neighbors and coworkers and survive. If you see something, say something.
The worse it gets, the more established institutions, desperate to survive, silence those who warn us.
“Before societies fall, just such a stratum of wise, thinking people emerges, people who are that and nothing more,” Solzhenitsyn writes of those who see what is coming. “And how they were laughed at! How they were mocked!”
The Austrian writer Joseph Roth, whose early warnings about the rise of fascism were largely dismissed, and who told fellow intellectuals to stop naively appealing to “the remains of a European conscience,” saw his books tossed into the bonfires in the spring of 1933 during the Nazi book burnings. So far, we have not burned books, but have banned nearly 23,000 titles in public schools since 2021.
The authoritarian state cannibalizes the institutions that foolishly aid and abet the witch hunts. It replaces them with pseudo-institutions populated with pseudo-legislators, pseudo-courts, pseudo-journalists, pseudo-intellectuals and pseudo-citizens. Columbia University is a shining example of this willful self-immolation. Nothing is as it is presented.
There are increasing numbers of violent kidnappings by masked ICE agents in unmarked cars on our city streets. People are ripped from their vehicles and beaten. They are arrested outside schools and day care centers. They are raided at work, thrown onto the floor, handcuffed, driven away in vans and shipped off to concentration camps in countries such as El Salvador. They are seized when they appear at court for a green card application or interview to finalize a visa.
Once detained, they disappear into the labyrinth of over 200 detention centers, where they are moved from one facility to the next to hide them from family, lawyers and the courts. Due process, once a constitutional right afforded to everyone in the United States, no longer exists.
“Laws that are not equal for all revert to rights and privileges, something contradictory to the very nature of nation-states,” Hannah Arendt writes in “The Origins of Totalitarianism.” “The clearer the proof of their inability to treat stateless people as legal persons and the greater the extension of arbitrary rule by police decree, the more difficult it is for states to resist the temptation to deprive all citizens of legal status and rule them with an omnipotent police.”
The FBI, in an example of how justice is perverted, refuses to cooperate with local law enforcement agencies in Minneapolis, blocking access to any evidence that would allow them to file criminal charges against Jonathan Ross.
Killing of unarmed citizens by the state is carried out with impunity.
ICE has more than doubled the size of its force since early 2025 — to 22,000 agents — hiring 12,000 new officers in four months from a pool of 220,000 applicants. It plans to spend $100 million over a one-year period to hire even more recruits, part of the $170 billion for border and interior enforcement, including $75 billion for ICE, to be spent over four years. Salaries for these new recruits, poorly trained and often haphazardly vetted, will range from $49,739 to $89,528 a year, along with a $50,000 signing bonus — split over three years — and up to $60,000 in student loan repayments.
ICE is building new detention centers nationwide in 23 towns and cities. It promises that once it is fully operational, it will go door-to-door as part of the largest deportation effort in American history.
ICE agents, intoxicated by the license to kick down doors while wearing body armor and firing automatic weapons at terrified women and children, are not warriors as they imagine, but thugs. They have few skills, other than weapons training, cruelty and brutality. They intend to remain employed by the state. The state intends to keep them employed.
None of this should surprise us. The repressive techniques used by ICE and our militarized police were perfected overseas in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and Occupied Palestine, and earlier in Vietnam. The ICE agent who murdered Good was a machinegunner in Iraq. A night raid in Chicago, with agents rappelling from a helicopter to storm an apartment complex filled with terrified families, does not look any different from a night raid in Fallujah.
Aimé Césaire, the Martinician playwright and politician, in “Discourse on Colonialism” writes that the savage tools of imperialism and colonialism eventually migrate back to the home country. It is known as imperial boomerang.
Césaire writes:
And then one fine day the bourgeoisie is awakened by a terrific boomerang effect: the gestapos are busy, the prisons fill up, the torturers standing around the racks invent, refine, discuss.
People are surprised, they become indignant. They say: “How strange! But never mind—it’s Nazism, it will pass!” And they wait, and they hope; and they hide the truth from themselves, that it is barbarism, the supreme barbarism, the crowning barbarism that sums up all the daily barbarisms; that it is Nazism, yes, but that before they were its victims, they were its accomplices; that they tolerated that Nazism before it was inflicted on them, that they absolved it, shut their eyes to it, legitimized it, because, until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples; that they have cultivated that Nazism, that they are responsible for it, and that before engulfing the whole edifice of Western, Christian civilization in its reddened waters, it oozes, seeps, and trickles from every crack.
During the interregnum between the last gasps of a democracy and the emergence of a dictatorship, the nation is gaslighted. It is told the rule of law is respected. It is told democratic rule is inviolate. These lies mollify those being frog-marched into their own enslavement.
“The majority sit quietly and dare to hope,” Solzhenitsyn writes. “Since you aren’t guilty, then how can they arrest you? It’s a mistake!”
Maybe, the fearful say, Trump and his minions are only being bombastic. Maybe they don’t mean it. Maybe they are incompetent. Maybe the courts will save us. Maybe the next elections will end this nightmare. Maybe there are limits to extremism. Maybe the worst is over.
These self-delusions prevent us from resisting while the gallows are being constructed in front of us.
Authoritarian states start by targeting the most vulnerable, those most easily demonized — the undocumented, students on college campuses who protest genocide, antifa, the so-called “radical left,” Muslims, poor people of color, intellectuals and liberals. They strike down one group after the next. They blow out, one by one, the long row of candles until we find ourselves in the dark, powerless and alone.

From Palestine to Minneapolis, ICE and Israel use the same violent playbook
On January 7, ICE agents shot Renee Good three times through her car window as she seemingly tried to drive away from them in Minneapolis. Then, they blocked ambulances from reaching her for fifteen minutes while she bled out in the driver’s seat with her partner beside her. Within hours, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was calling Good, the woman who had just been executed in broad daylight by a federal agent, a “domestic terrorist,” claiming the agent had acted in self-defense against a woman allegedly trying to run him over with her vehicle.
If this sounds familiar, it should, because it is the exact same play Israel deploys every single time they kill a Palestinian. Take, for example, on December 6, just a few weeks ago, when Israeli soldiers in Hebron, in the southern occupied West Bank, ordered 17-year-old Ahmad Rajabi to stop his car. He stopped and then they shot him dead anyway. They prevented emergency services from reaching Ahmad and shot at them as well. There are countless others just like Rajabi.
ICE and the Israeli army are using the same playbook because they are born of the same system of state violence and white-supremacy – the same machinery of racialized control that has been refined in Palestine and imported to American cities through deliberate policy and corporate profit. As Noura Erakat penned, the ‘imperial boomerang has already made its way back.
Calling victims “terrorists” is how you make the dead responsible for their own deaths. Israel has spent decades making it so that every Palestinian killed at a checkpoint was “trying to ram soldiers,” every journalist shot while wearing a press vest was “operating with militants,” every child killed was somehow an imminent threat requiring lethal force. How else can you justify turning Gaza into a graveyard?
This is what occupation looks like everywhere it exists, in every context where armed agents operate with total impunity over populations denied meaningful legal protection or political power. And beyond the paramilitary forces swarming the streets, the same digital systems of occupation are also migrating back here.
Palantir runs ICE’s case management systems that track and monitor immigrants to enable fast-track deportations, and that same company provides AI-based targeting platforms for Israeli military airstrikes that decide which Palestinians to kill using data that includes private communications between Palestinian Americans and their relatives in Gaza. Israeli companies like Elbit and Paragon provide radar, surveillance, and spyware directly to ICE and Homeland Security. The Anti-Defamation League sponsors law enforcement exchange programs where American police travel to Israel to learn “best practices” in checkpoint management, crowd suppression, and in turning entire populations into security threats.
The impunity of those who worship at the idol of war are identical too. Qualified immunity in the United States functions exactly like the impunity Israeli soldiers enjoy when they kill Palestinians, creating a closed legal loop that makes accountability structurally impossible. The doctrine ensures that each new killing cannot establish precedent because there is no precedent to point to.
Israeli soldiers kill Palestinians regularly followed by sham investigations that are opened and then quietly closed months or years later, and prosecutions almost never materialize at all. Remember Shireen Abu-Akleh?
But Renee is not the first to have been murdered by ICE. At least thirty people died in ICE custody in 2025 alone, making it the deadliest year for ICE detainees since 2004. We know Renee because of the visibility of her murder, but ICE spent 2025 disappearing brown bodies whose names most of us will never know. It is also worth mentioning that these systems go beyond the Trump Administration as many democrats will run to proclaim. Obama adopted ICE as a fledgling agency, and it was Obama and his party that started ICE on their path to the military force they have become. ICE exists to terrorize immigrant communities through detention, deportation, and death, to make survival a privilege for anyone who falls outside the constantly narrowing boundaries of who counts as deserving protection. ICE has a $170 billion budget over four years, making ICE the thirteenth largest army in the world.
Renee Good and Ahmad Rajabi died because paramilitary authoritarian forces decided they did not deserve to live, and because the entire legal and political structure exists specifically to ensure those agents never face meaningful consequences for murder.
The moral arc of the universe bends toward justice only when we bend it ourselves. Thus, we must resist. Resistance means refusing to accept any of this as normal or inevitable or just the way things work. It means protesting to demand prosecution of the agent who killed Renee Good under Minnesota state law. It means organizing to defund and ultimately abolish ICE entirely, because an agency with a $170 billion budget that terrorizes communities cannot be reformed into something humane.
And it means understanding that Palestinian liberation is, in fact, tied to all of us. And, as Palestinians have taught the world, we must take freedom into our own hands. From Minneapolis to Palestine, occupation must be dismantled completely and entirely, or it will keep killing and keep expanding until none of us are safe from it.
