Arrest
If you
are arrested, can anything else remain unshattered by this Cataclysm?
There is where the gulag country begins
Arrest
The most sophisticated and simpleton Among Us drawing on all life's experience can gasp out only, "Me? What for?"
Four white
male hands unaccustomed to physical labor but nonetheless strong and tenacious
grab us by the leg arm collar cap ear and drag Us in like a sack.
And the
gate behind us, the gate to our past life, is slammed shut once and for all,
that's all there is to it you are arrested.
And you'll
find nothing better to respond with than a lamb-like bleat.
"Me? What for?"
For that's
what Arrest is.
It's a
blinding Flash and a blow which shifts the present instantly into the past and the
impossible into omnipotent actuality, that's all.
And neither for the first hour nor for the first day will you be able to grasp anything else except that in your desperation, the fake circus moon will blink at you, it's a mistake, they'll set things right.
Arrest
The sharp
nighttime ring or the rude knock at the door, the insolent entrance of the
unwiped Jack Boots of the unsleeping State security operatives. The frightened
and cowed conditions in which a human being can disappear into the void and
even his closest relatives, his mother and his wife, do not know for years what
has become of him.
The
arrested person is torn from the warmth of his bed; he is in a daze half asleep
helpless, and his judgment is befogged in a night arrest.
The State security men have a superiority in numbers. There are many of them, armed against one person, who hasn't even finished buttoning his trousers.
END OF EXCERPT

THIS IS STALINISM from Politico yesterday
Deported Brown University professor had ‘sympathetic photos’ of Hezbollah leaders on her phone, DOJ says— Federal authorities say they deported a Lebanese doctor holding an American visa last week after finding “sympathetic photos and videos” of prominent Hezbollah figures in a deleted items folder on her cell phone. Rasha Alawieh, a physician specializing in kidney transplants and professor at Brown University, also told Customs and Border Protection agents that while visiting Lebanon last month she attended the funeral of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and followed his teachings “from a religious perspective” but not a political one, according to an official report on her interrogation by an immigration officer. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/17/rasha-alawieh-deportation-026038
