California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said the governor was denied entry into a venue at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 21, after being invited to speak at the event due to “pressure” from the Trump administration.
Newsom had been scheduled to speak with Fortune at the USA House, Davos, a privately organized event, at the World Economic Forum, which has been recognized by the U.S. government as the nation’s headquarters in Davos.
The SS or SA is not a bad direct comparison. Brownshirts were the nazi version, the Italians did so first with their blackshirts. Civilian groups, street brawlers, that would target left wing groups, leaders, burn down their businesses, beat them up, shit like that.
The brownshirts would stir up shit to force new elections all the time and the nazis kept getting more and more votes each election, supported by big business because they were anti socialist. The SS and SA were like the official goons although not law enforcement before hitler’s chancellorship obviously.
Everyone hated the brownshirts, including those rich that supported the nazis, so after they had control, and consolidated power with the SS and SA able to handle security, they killed all the brown shirt leadership in the night of the long knives, partly out of paranoia but partly to appease the rich that preferred the organized official violence to the dumbass street brawlers.
That said, Ice is like the SS, or SA, I’m trying to remember but the SA was mostly folded into the SS after they consolidated power but for a while they were parallel law enforcement type organizations controlled by hitler. Except Germany was broke, the USA just gave Ice more money than any militaries in the world get other than yours truly and China.
