You should understand that what happened in Lebanon involved the government of Isreal physically modifying the pagers (and walkies) in question by adding explosives to them, turning them into remote-triggerable bombs.
(The term "supplychain attack" has been used a lot to describe this attack. Isreal intercepted the order of pagers between when the order was placed and when the pagers were delivered. And either physically altered the pagers ordered or replaced them with altered/tampered-with pagers.)
Please see current state of politics in US where sheriffs are taking names of those with opposing views. These people are playing a long game. Don’t fool yourself it couldn’t easily happen here in US or is not already set up to do so. I am not a conspiratorial type but just looking at the facts.
Ah yes, being heavily criticized for encouraging people to send illegal immigrants to Democrats' houses is the same thing as setting up an explosives front
See Holocaust and Kristallnacht https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristallnacht
It's not like we have an authoritarian and something-phobic head of state that has cultured a rabid paramilitary and youth program.
See charter schools.
Are you guys agreeing with one another?
