NUREMBERG TRIALS 2.0
"The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine.
The words “Nuremberg trials” have made a comeback from the dusty bins of 1945 and are found in many social media posts in reference to the potential criminal trials that the Trump Administration may find themselves facing if the Democrats sweep the next election. I’m not going to speak on the likelihood of them (pretty strong) or the crimes they will be accused of (crimes against humanity being number one) nor the possible outcome (death by hanging would be preferrable), instead I will focus on the one thing that might provide the evidence to hang them all.
I’m talking about the digital media, in all of its glorious formats. Cell phone video. MSM video tapes from interviews. Public and private video surveillance cameras at hotels, restaurants and other public locations. GPS data from cars. Telephone call logs from the NSA. FBI surveillance tapes. Ring cameras from doorbells across the street. Dash cam footage from John Smiths Volvo. ATM security cameras. Facebook posts. Instagram posts. Twitter posts. Self-incriminating social media posts. Geo-tagging.
There are a million trillion gazillion bits of data out there along with the algorithms to sift through them, collate them, track them and make sense of them.
The murders of Pretti and Good in Minnesota illustrate this. We know what happened due to brave citizens filming the events. We can extrapolate the POV from one film and find the collation with another film with a different POV. We can speed the action up, we can slow it down. We can use AI to determine who said what and who did what.
It’s interesting to see how ICE and Bondi, among other Trump official walked back, edited or changed their story as video evidence came forth. It went from he was brandishing a gun to he had a gun. It went from whitewashing the truth to having to admit to the truth. All thanks to that ubiquitous tool of the 21 century, the cell phone.
In 1865, the equalizer was the Colt 45 on your hip, now it’s the Android or Apple phone in your hand.
With smart technology, the phone is almost invulnerable to misuse. Time stamps and geo-location information are embedded. Cloud storage means a careless jackboot stomp on your phone does not destroy the evidence. Live streaming can be around the block or worldwide. It’s the tool that drives the ICE policy on masks. Officially, ICE says that masks are meant to prevent doxing (publishing private or identifying information about a particular individual on the internet) but in reality, its about guilt and hiding from accountability.
The good news will be that the investigators and prosecutors in a future Nuremberg trial will have the means to compel, compile and collate the digital word that we live in and determine guilt. Following orders was dismissed as a credible defence for the Nazis in 945-46 and beyond. It won’t protect the ICE agents or the Trump administration either.
So, if you got a phone, keep on filming. Everything you film today, on your I-phone, via your dash cam, from your Go-Pro can one day be used to persecute and convict the ICE thugs. They worry about doxing, but they should be worried about you and me and the whole world compiling future evidence of crimes against Americans.





I always remind people....you don't just have a phone....you have a camera .....film it....always film everything.
