The Disappeared [SocioPolitico]
So what would one do if officials turned up and dragged away a citizen to solitary confinement without charge or recourse, for indefinite detention and without explanation? Chances are that one would fear for one's own safety, perhaps consider fleeing as a refugee to a free country like the United States.

Unfortunately, in this case I am referring to the actions in the United States taken by Federal officers apparently acting withing the bounds of a law introduced by the current regime. How can this be possible? What is going on? I have no voice on this matter, being an 'alien', but maybe you do. Read the facts about the case of Intel employee Mike Hawash, an authority and published author on DirectX, who has no idea why he has been arrested and incarcerated as a 'material witness' and has no prospect of release - no crime, a US citizen of good standing, dragged away like a protester in a banana republic. Then, if you are as horrified as I am, take action. Or you could be next. Unlike Mike, Police State v1.0 is ready for release, it seems.
