A riveting documentary by brave journalist Deeyah Khan following and meeting with white nationalist and Neo Nazi organizations across America.

It’s raw. It’s real. And it’s terrifying. But it’s also necessary to understand the psyche of hate.

Tell me again how we’re not in an “AI” fueled tech bubble?

When this bursts it will destroy the USA. Like obliterate it. Because right now it’s being juiced only by printing USD all while Trump is killing the need for USD globally.

When he started tying his “Christian” beliefs to AI regulations, he exposed the whole grift. He’s just trying to use religion like so many other monsters have: for wealth and power.

So if Russ Vought and Bob Kennedy were deliberately trying on behalf of an enemy to sicken and kill Americans by destroying the public health structure - what would they be doing differently?

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."
