Someone pretended to be ice in PA and robbed a store

What if our greatest ally attacks Iran first then realizes it's not like shooting women and starving children... and they hit back? Hard?

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Greatest ally, Saudi Arabia?

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

They have F-15s why, exactly? Their oil is OK why, exactly? Them bombing Yemen is OK why, exactly? Ah! It's the doctrine of "It's OK when we do it!" (except when they hit back, huh.)

This is also how they do a false flag attack to pull us into a forever war

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

This narrative is frighteningly everywhere

[–] eletes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

With the shit the Mossad and CIA have pulled, I'd believe just about anything

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

"narrative"? It's a highly likely possibility and given what a removed cuck the US is to the "chosen people", not just frighteningly everywhere, but very likely.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 45 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's simple.

If law enforcement is anonymous, then anyone anonymous is law enforcement.

I've had security discussions with people who should know better about similar stuff. When someone calls me, I have no idea if it's you. Caller ID is insanely easy to spoof. I've had banks call me and demand I identify myself to them; how about you prove to me that you are who you say you are before I start handing out my personal information?

Interestingly, they don't seem to get it. They just go "I'm from xyz bank" yeah.... You say that... How do I know you're not lying? "I'm not lying, I'm calling from xyz bank"

Dur. We go around a few times with this before they give up.

I usually call my bank using the number on the back of my card, then ask that person if I was called and why.

Now you want me to take it.... On faith, and the word of the person who is concealing their identity, that they are who they say they are?

This is the entire fucking reason that LEOs carry badges. It's so that the public can verify that they're talking to someone who actually is who they say they are.

Anything less is just asking for people to impersonate a LEO or ICE agent in this case.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's piss poor performance from the bank. They obviously need a security audit.

My bank will sometimes call me if they want something, but it's always just a voice message telling me to call the number on my card. They don't even provide the number on the phone message, just to get the idea into people's heads that they don't provide phone numbers on the message so if a number starts being provided on the call, it's immediately suspicious.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

I told them as much. I spoke to a manager about it once on a call and I'm like, how the hell do I know you're actually the bank? You've given me nothing. Then you're asking for my uniquely identifying personal information via a voice prompt. Literally anyone could spoof all of this and you're training your clients to just hand over the information when asked, not even by a person, but by a robocall.

Yeah, I got another a few months later, same shit.

I feel bad for the customers of that bank. They're not my primary bank so I couldn't give a shit. I'm also security focused enough to know better.

[–] vala@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

If this happens it will be blamed on the left/antifa allowing it to happen or helping in some way.

[–] El_guapazo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

If "ice agents" shot up a peaceful demonstration, them it could trigger a civil war. They'd still have their maga apologists however.

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 53 points 1 day ago (2 children)

lol. I hate to break it to you Americans, but foreign terrorists are sitting back and laughing their asses off as you guys destroy your country without having to blow themselves up.

And MAGA would say, "see, no Middle Eastern terror attacks thanks to Trump"! 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The left is fully aware that the only real foreign attacks on the US are social media destabilization campaigns. We need the right on our side to unmask ICE, and this could be our angle.

[–] ThatsTheSpirit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The right is basically chuds, facebook boomers, self proclaimed entrepreneurs and "economic experts". They have no interest in understanding even the most basic of social relations that they themselves exist within let alone helping the evil left take down their own idealogical para military force. We are kinda veering into re education camp and gulag territory now, at least for many of the most propagandized people. These people are rabid thanks to the media pumped 247 into their homes, cars, phones. They want someone to pay for their suffering as long is its not anyone they know. Until their white neighbors start getting plucked by ICE....i dunno americans and people in general just avoid ontological shock at all costs and the intelligence operatives, and corporate consumerism really fucked american consciousness over the last few decades.

That being said, i do agree with your assessment on foreign bots. Most of the real ridiculous and divisive political content i come across is simply bots. And lots of inane one liners from rando nothing accounts.

It seems some of my more maga neighbors have piped down recently tho. I still think their loyalists, sunk cost fallacy, and they def still have fox news on 247...i guess they just really like election season 😭 they have moved on to "god will protect us" yap, possibly guilty conscience but they have a massive distrust of "the left"...although they seem to like me personally which just highlights the tragedy really.

The foreign “terrorists” are sitting on gamer chairs in front of computers shitposting and sowing discord on social media, that way they make people angry about cultural issues and not class issues.

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

I think you misspelled "politicians" and "domestic terrorists".

Foreign terrorists don't have to do anything, not even on social media.

[–] CabbageRelish@midwest.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can we not do the Iraq era scary brown people bullshit?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Literally the only way to make Republicans care about something is to have it happen to them or make them think brown people could do it to them.

[–] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I mean, you don't have to make up a theoretical terrorist cell who is invading. That's just I.C.E. themselves, they are terrorists.

And once that happens they will probably start shooting every suspicious person on sight. Yay, fascism speedrun 100%.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

There were rumors that the British SAS would use female burqas as disguises when operating in the Middle East.

Now every terrorist, criminal, rapist, pedophile, just needs a made at home ICE outfit to do the same in America.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Easy Solution:

The new protocol to verify if the agents are legit would be: The ICE agents will all roll up their sleeves to show their white skin. Then shoot the Hispanic/Latino ICE agents because they are obviously Iranian Sleeper Agents. America saved from terrorists once again! 🇺🇸🦅 USA! USA! 👊🇺🇸🔥

~/obvious~ ~sarcasm~

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago

You clearly aren't ICE, otherwise you would have included the Armenian flag. They are always doing that. 🇱🇷

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (5 children)

100% MAGA can probably see eye to eye with the left on this expect the left isn't really making much effort to do that. This post is great. There's so much great content and examples of the abuse here. But the left's job right now is to amplify it. But it's not really happening.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

That’s why I posted it.🤷‍♂️ Share away.

Terrorism? .... someone can just rob a bank and get away with it

The local news would post a picture asking people if they saw someone dressed up like ICE

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yes, but that doesn’t concern MAGA. We’ve made that point after multiple robberies and rapes. They don’t seem to care. This, however, should hit home.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 11 points 1 day ago

There's very little point in robbing a bank unless you desperately need office chairs and stationery.

[–] griff@lemmings.world 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Gosh guess an American terrorist for example could do that as well

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 13 points 1 day ago

They already are. Just with official approval.

[–] doctortofu@piefed.social 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Sadly, I believe nothing will happen until a bunch of masked thugs in unmarked vehicles kidnaps, say, very ~~Mexican~~ illegal sounding Rafael Cruz and trafficks him to, say, Burkina Faso, because country of origin or nationality doesn't even matter anymore...

And even then the message would probably not get through, and would be waved off with "but that's different!" :(

The trump regime WANTS to sew this kind of chaos.

This is all part of the plan.

[–] oyo@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago

Sow as in sowing seeds. However since we're talking about costumes I guess sew works too.

How interconnected are ice and police?

Wouldnt it be beneficial when you call the police an all masked robbers, bandits, kidnappers, cars and aggressors?

Using scare tactics like this isn't effective and it will just further the desire for a police state. Instead of saying "these other bad guys can hurt us", call out the evil these masked men are doing.

What ifs, especially ones meant to scare people into action will ultimately reinforce the police state.

[–] hexonxonx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

This is the stupidest thing I've read today -- and I just came from Reddit.

Not talking about something isn't going to prevent it from happening.

They're already building a police state and it's happening in front of your eyes. Pretending not to notice is exactly what they want.
