ACLU Attorney Lee Gelernt on How Rights Groups Are Preparing to Fight Trump's Mass Deportations

Immigrant rights lawyers are preparing to fight back against Donald Trump’s plans to carry out the largest mass deportation in U.S. history once he takes office again in January. The president-elect has already named some leading anti-immigration figures for his incoming administration who will lead the plan, including former ICE head Tom Homan and his longtime aide Stephen Miller. Trump’s picks were central in family separations, the Muslim ban, attacks on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, and other anti-immigrant policies during the first Trump administration. Trump is also reportedly planning to greatly expand immigrant detention in private for-profit prisons, and during the campaign he spoke of invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to speed up deportations. “We have been preparing nearly a year for this,” says attorney Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project, who argued some of the most high-profile immigration cases during the first Trump administration. He stresses that while groups like the ACLU will challenge the Trump administration in the courts, “it needs to be a national effort” to prevent abuses. “We are not opposed to basic immigration reform, but this cannot be a situation where we’re just going after immigrants left and right.”

Склады Aliexpress доставляют все посылки с луны?

В последние несколько лет (с появлением первых продвинутых роботов и AI) в кругах теоретиков заговора все чаще и чаще поднимают и вспоминают дикую, на первый взгляд, конспирологическую теорию, согласно которой далеко не все товары на полках магазинов производятся на Земле.

Есть мнение, что нашу планетку некоторое время назад включили в какую–то глобальную цепочку поставок, в которой Земля, как примитивный мир, поставляет братьям по разуму полезные ископаемые и рабов, а в обмен получает дейвайсы, которые люди не смогут производить самостоятельно ближайшие 500 лет. Например – некоторые элементы цифровой электроники, некоторые сплавы, полимерные материалы и продукты биотехнологий – генетически модифицированные семена, лекарства, вакцины и так далее.

Углубляться в эту теорию я не буду, но в общих чертах она сводится к следующему.

а) Если вы придете в магазин в Германии, например, вы там почти не встретите немецких товаров – всякое г–но, которое могут производить даже в Йемене, везут как бы из стран ЕС. При этом в любой стране ЕС – та же ситуация, что и у немцев: на полках нет местных товаров. Доходит до смешного, когда в Испанию откуда–то прут апельсины, во Францию – шмотки и парфюмерию, а в Германию – машины и колбасу.

б) В славные 1960–е и 1980–е превентивной сборкой того или иного нового изделия занимались инженеры–технологи, у каждого из которых был профильный талмуд с перечнем производителей нужных ему производителей комплектующих. На загнивающем Западе талмуды были побольше, в СССР поменьше, иногда вообще брошюрки на пару листов. Но в любом случае эта информация была обозримой – одну и ту же деталь делали 10–20 производителей, а иногда и поменьше.

Например, финская фирма Stromberg в начале прошлого века производила электрогенераторы для электростанций всей Европы. И делали прекрасно – все работает до сих пор. А сегодня тысячи фирм по всему миру производят какое–то г–но и не разоряются, а если речь идет не о генераторах, а о девайсах поменьше – то там производителей вообще миллионы. Ну и где они!? Покажите заводы. А показать особо нечего – заводов столько нет.

в) В старые и добрые 1960–е и 1980–е у любого из взятых на выбор людей были друзья и знакомые: инженеры, токари, начальники каких–то предприятий, которые где–то что–то производили. начиная от гвоздей и заканчивая стельками для обуви. А сегодня, куда не плюнь – одни менагеры и юристы, чуть разбавленные дальнобойщиками. Понятно, что произведенной продукцией нужно торговать, что продукцию нужно упаковывать. где–то хранить и развозить. Но покажите мне людей, которые это барахло производят! Не собирают отвертками из почти готового, а делают с нуля. Нет как–то таких людей.

г) Некоторые вещи очень сложные в проектировании, например микропроцессоры. Гораздо проще их импортировать откуда–то с луны и клеить марку “Intel inside”. Когда братья–инопланетяне официально покажут личико – будет, несомненно, именно так, но у конспирологов сверлит голову мысль, что именно так уже прямо сейчас.

Другими словами очень сложная и очень спорная теория, которая вчера получила странное и неожиданное подтверждение. Человек на GLP пишет следующее:

Я всегда и много заказывал на Aliexpress china c доставкой в Канаду. В этом году последний раз я заказывал 13 мая, а посылка пришла около 28 мая, что быстро, но более или менее нормально.

Вторая посылка ехала с 3 по 25 мая, включая таможенное оформление, так что в среднем это не менее 3–4 недель. Но вдруг, на прошлой неделе я заказал кое–какие электронные вещи на сумму 70 долларов США. Я использовал двух разных поставщиков, выбрал минимальную доставку чтобы без оплаты и хотел отследить – кто привезет быстрее, чтобы потом с ним работать.

И вот, первый заказ, который я сделал 20 сентября, прибыл из Китая 26 сентября!

Вы, наверное, сразу подумали, что посылка была отправлена со склада в Северной Америке, но нифига! Я специально уточнял: она была отправлена из Китая!
Товарищ не первый и не последний, кто столкнулся с такими чудесами. Технически можно, конечно, предположить, что ему привезли посылку самолетом, но это вряд ли: самолетами таскают маленькие устройства по цене 500 долларов плюс, например телефоны. Но таскание какого–то барахла за 70 долларов куча уже не окупится. И потому возникает вопрос: а в чем же причина такого чуда?

Можно предположить, что это был глюк Матрицы, которая производит продукты. Можно предположить, что в США работают подземные заводы, где электронику собирает миллиард закованных в кандалы юных китайцев. Но так же можно предположить, что некоторые “китайские” товары доставляют с других мест – мест вне Земли. Например, с той же луны, где у братьев по разуму главный торговый хаб. Обычно доставляют с задержкой, чтобы братья–земляне ничего не заподозрили, но тут вышла накладка.

Если я прав, то подобных накладок будет со временем еще много, чтобы братья–земляне были готовы к официальному признанию–объяснению про происхождение некоторых товаров, так что следим за развитием событий.
