Hard to overstate how much Hegseth's execution stream mirrors the U.S. military's traditional description of ISIS propaganda: broadcast killings designed to send a message, strike fear and create a social media spectacle. Will almost certainly be repurposed by online terror cells

Firing squad execution to be livestreamed, Pentagon says.

Lost for words at the insanity in Trumpistan, a truly sick dictatorship.

Like medieval times, executions offered as a public spectacle in a country that claims to be Christian.

What next?

Fort Hood attacker's execution by firing squad will be livestreamed, Pentagon says

Pete Hegseth says the execution will be public, but a legal expert says the "unprecedented" decision is on "uncertain legal terrain".

It isn’t a coincidence that Hegseth has greenlit the murder of an “Islamist” while the US loses a war with Iran and the Right continues to fear a leftist/Muslim takeover.

The execution is a cult ritual in which the subject is transformed from an individual to a larger concept.
