The only source cited is a blog which cites a blog + raw acquisition numbers from government data, none of which contain ANY reference to “guided missiles” or “artillery” as the original substack claims.
As best I can tell, this claim was just kind of made up, then referenced by a blog, and now by the daily beast. We’re like 3 days out from NYT writing this and referencing this daily beast article.
Fuck this administration for all the illegal and inhuman shit they’re doing, but I’m almost certain this is just made up. They definitely have spent a shitload of money on weapons and equipment (bad) but theres no proof they’ve bought explosives and chemical weapons (beyond pepper spray)
Almost like it’s rage bait by the admin to get angry mobs going.
Oh yeah, wouldn’t want people mistakenly thinking ICE has a massive weapons budget now. You know what they say, when you’ve been defeated in a propaganda war, keep debunking bad things about the Gestapo.
Plus the article is mistakenly calling flashbangs warheads and correctly calling tear gas a chemical weapon. Good thing the left has “scientific leftists” like you to stand up for ICE’s image… Wouldn’t want propaganda against ICE on here. The “scientific left” must defend ICE’s image against such propaganda news.
… it’s not like ICE have a bigger weapons budget and would have a shitload of flash bangs and tear gas now. But yeah, thans for your correction on terms.
Now people won’t see it as much of a problem. Good job from “the left” as usual.
? The articles HEADLINE says “warheads” and the body says “guided missiles”, and then cites a source saying “guided missiles” and “artillery”. I’m not just disambiguating minutiae, there’s a huge difference between buying a flashbang and a fucking guided missile system.
Misinformation is cool as long as it’s “our guys” making shit up?
We have so many real things to go after the gestapo for, INLCUDING spending $72 mill on guns and shit, but you’re right, we should say they bought tanks and F35s as well. It’ll really get this ball rolling.
I wasn’t even accusing you of doing anything, but hey, attack me personally to make your point. Makes you look really smart and reliable. No wonder your country is fucked.
Thank you for a healthy level of skepticism.
