So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.
I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.
They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

In 1882 two thirds of the farmers in Tohoku (northern Japan) bought home brewing licenses. In 1895 there were 1 million home brewing licenses in total. So Japan definitely had farmhouse brewing of sake.
Then in 1886 the gov't banned home brewing entirely. Probably killed the farmhouse brewing.
