How It Happened…

This is what is happening has happened…

[2:23] Stella Carlson: Trump Agents Played With Alex Pretti’s Body

    COOPER: One of the things that’s shocking about the number of shots is that the last five shots or so are actually from a distance where he appears already lying on the ground, not moving. Do you remember that? Again, this is happening in seconds.

CARLSON: I mean, honestly, Alex being shot is the most memorable part of it. The agents are not a part of that. I think, because I watched him die. I mean, I watched him die. I remember him arching his back and his head rolling back, and he looked. It was so fast moving and but not for me. Like when they left, when they fled, which now I see that after the shooting, they decided to just scatter and save themselves, watching him die.

COOPER: When the shots are fired, you begin to scream, what the eff did you just do? Do you remember that moment? Do you remember screaming that?

CARLSON: I remember the feeling inside my body. I mean, of course I wish I wasn’t saying that word so often, but at the same time, that’s how angry and, like, I don’t know if anger is the right mortified. That’s just how mortified I have been feeling. And helpless. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, like what? What? And I knew he was gone because I watched it and then they come over to try to perform some type of medical aid by ripping his clothes open with scissors, and then maneuvering his body around like a rag doll, only to discover that it could be because they wanted to count the bullet wounds to see how many they got, like he’s a deer.

I watched that, and that is what it felt like they were doing and that is part of why I was like, what are you guys doing? Why would you jostle his body around like that? You’re not even doing anything to help him. But I knew he was gone.

COOPER: You knew he was gone then?

CARLSON: I knew he was gone. There was no way with the way his body was moving and I only knew that because of the way they were manipulating his dead body, just playing with it. Like they’re in a video game. They were looking at us and laughing. COOPER: After the shooting?

CARLSON: Yes.

Eliminationism – Wikipedia (Sep 6, 2025 rev.)

Eliminationism is the belief that a social group is, in the words of Oklahoma City University School of Law professor Phyllis E. Bernard, “a cancer on the body politic that must be excised—either by separation from the public at large, through censorship or by outright extermination—in order to protect the purity of the nation.”

The term eliminationism was made popular by American political scientist Daniel Goldhagen in his 1996 book Hitler’s Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust, in which he posits that the German public not only knew about, but supported, the Holocaust because of a unique and virulent “eliminationist antisemitism” within the German national identity, which had developed in the preceding centuries.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956: An Experiment in Literary Investigation (1973)

“If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?”
– [Part I: The Prison Industry, Ch. 4 “The Bluecaps” (p.168)]

“It was granted me to carry away from my prison years on my bent back, which nearly broke beneath its load, this essential experience: how a human being becomes evil and how good. In the intoxication of youthful successes I had felt myself to be infallible, and I was therefore cruel. In the surfeit of power I was a murderer, and an oppressor. In my most evil moments I was convinced that I was doing good, and I was well supplied with systematic arguments. And it was only when I lay there on rotting prison straw that I sensed within myself the first stirrings of good. Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either — but right through every human heart — and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains … an unuprooted small corner of evil.”
