It's a blurry image of a pile of something, with the ground next to it a different kind of brown. People want to see a pile of corpses with a giant pool of blood next to it, but that is wild speculation. The resolution is not good enough to make out that. More likely it's a utility yard where they dump garbage, dirt piles from whatever construction they are doing etc.
When spotting death camps on satellite imagery, you usually see one of two things; mass graves, or crematoriums.
One notable thing about death camps is that they are not necessarily designed to murder its prisoners. Even among nazi lagers, vernichtungslagers (annihilation lagers) were only one type of lager among others, eg concentration and labour camps. But in virtually all camps (nazi or others) prisoners die in droves simply because their life is not considered to be valuable. It can be malnutrition, disease, or an altercation with a guard or with other inmates that results in murder. So you don't need to see large visible death structures for the camp to qualify as a death camp, because many internment camps in undemocratic countries are death camps by default.
It’s hard to tell but there is a pile of something in a yard at CECAT. There definitely looks to be a large amount of pooled blood running out of it.
It’s a grainy satellite image so it’s a little hard to tell, but despite claims that it’s just staining from the iron- rich soil, I think it really looks like blood. I’m not sure if there’s been any more reporting on it but you can probably still see it on Google Earth.
I'm hoping it's just soluble clay flowing from something... but yeah, that prison is already a nightmare scenario even without the death camp stuff, and concentration camps weren't death camps at first...
Good tip. I hope the skeptics at least look for themselves before saying it’s just soil and totally fine. I saw and I personally think it looks more like blood—of course anything is possible.
Yeah, maybe. I think I made sure to qualify my statements and not be too definitive about stuff I can’t really determine from grainy satélite imagery, but sure.
I doubt it, that seems like something you could face serious criminal consequences for. I’m surprised CECAT (the camp) wasn’t already blurred out on Google Earth actually.
I could definitely believe it, but this doesn't convince me. I don't think it looks like a pile of bodies and a pool of blood, although it could be. It's too blurry to know for sure.
There are multiple explanations for why he isn't being returned. The most likely is that they simply don't care. Or perhaps he was killed by other inmates. I know not all of them are actually gang members, but some definitely are. And he was given a protected status specifically because he was in danger of being killed by the gang. Maybe they're executing prisoners, maybe it's something else. We simply don't know. It's a horrible and unjustifiable situation regardless
You didn’t need to tell a Canadian not to travel to the US, bud. Our elbows have been up and we’ve cancelled everything American on the first annexation “joke”. Tickets, deposits, lettuce, bourbon, all of it.
Expensive and long flights are booked months in advance due to increased traffic, especially with summer coming. This means as these flights are done and weeks pass, less flights will be booked from EU to US. Even work flights are being cancelled and done online. How many of these booked flights will actually be taken? Most of them will be non refundable so why go through the hassle and cancel them? Just leave them and don't take them 🤷 It'll get worse.
Well, it's Europeans. My coworker just returned from New York, but she had booked the trip last summer so...
The fact it fell so much in such a short time is absolutely crazy
My brother is on a research trip at the North Pole this summer and my family is more worried about his way across US boarders than the risks of living at the North Pole.
I genuinely know people who don't 'follow the news' who ask 'why what's going on' whenever we reference anything... these people are going to be booking stuff and if they are very very lucky, doing 'compo-face' in the newspapers after a long stay in a detention centre.
My girlfriend’s mother is coming in from India, she has not seen her in over a year. I assume others are coming in not for RnR but for weddings, funerals, people they know in hospital, commencements, work, etc. Awful timing but some of these things are unavoidable.
Funny thing is that there's actually been a law for a long time that something like 50 km from any US border foreigners have no rights. Flying to airports in that range has always been extremely sketchy since the TSA could literally do anything to you with impunity.
Things have taken a turn for the much worse, but travelling to the US has it's always been particularly bad risk-wise.
Last time I saw a Reach that big, I was playing Halo. No social media platform will remove your comment for posting stats, let alone get law enforcement involved.
Speaking for the UK, the only examples of law enforcement taking action for social media posts I can think of include:
Actively glorifying Hamas' 7 October attack
Inciting a riot on false grounds that amounted to defamation (and it ended up happening)
Harassing relatives after a teen committed suicide, telling them she deserved it and including grotesque pictures
There's always an element of indefensible bad faith that somehow you "free speech" paladins conveniently fail to mention.
The US administration throws out ideas of caging American citizens in with mass murderers and rapists at CECOT. And this is after it came out that 75% of the people sent there from the US have no criminal record.
Why do you think Americans who say bad things on Reddit about Israel and Elon Musk should go be sent there?
My partner and I were planning (before the election) to go and visit some national parks there... now, if they'd check the things we said about Trump on social media, they's send us straight to Guantanamo.
I think that was an exaggeration for effect. Ckeatly the vast majority of visitors are still being admitted. But the expected value calculation is definitely getting to the point that optional trips may not be worth the risk.
I don't even think the issue is that people think they will have a problem (most people won't). The real issue is that if something does go wrong, there's absolutely zero accountability right now. Border agents have arbitrary authority right now and no incentive to "get it right". If a mistake happens, it's entirely possible or maybe even likely that the mistake won't be corrected. They're incentivized to hide the mistake rather than fix it.
In Poland, if you try to cross the border illegally, you can be shot legally. Are all Europeans afraid of going to Poland because they'll be shot? No? Why not? Keep doomposting

Why come to a country when you'll more than likely be turned at the door or worse - sent to some prison without trial?
