Except that it’s actually a purge of queer employees. And is part of defining queer lives as defacto objectionable material.

Gulag 2.0: FSB wants its own pretrial detention centres
People accused of treason, espionage, extremism, and terrorism could soon end up in detention centres controlled by Russia’s secret service, the FSB. Human rights activists fear this will lead to restricted access for lawyers and weakened judicial oversight. Barents Observer called to the initiator of the bill, leader of the defence committee, Andrei Kartapolov.
For some reason or other, the onebox previews the Russian(?) version, but links to the English version:
No worries, though:
“Unlike Europe, we have an absolutely transparent judicial system and penal system. Therefore, everything will be transparent and controlled. Primarily by the legislative power. And by the courts. So don’t worry,” said Deputy Kartapolov.
(Ignore the weird sound in the background, that’s just some members of the Trump administration drooling over this.)

The files didn’t give us evidence that anyone other than Lee Harvey Oswald killed the president, but they have revealed a wealth of previously unknown information about how the government and its spy agencies operated during the Cold War.
The files are a wealth of information about the CIA’s tradecraft, including revelations about the so-called “Family Jewels.” The CIA has done a lot of illegal stuff and isn’t supposed to operate inside the United States. A report about these illegal operations and how they functioned from 1959 to 1973 was called “The Family Jewels.” We’ve seen some of it before, and some of it with heavy redactions. Thanks to this release of files, we know a lot more.

I am unsurprised by these revelations. Trying to claim that there was someone other than Oswald as the killer has always been nothing but a fucking distraction. Same with UFOs, same with other conspiracy theories that involve some sort of “deep state cover up” or WTF ever… Pretty much all the REAL conspiracies are shit like taking out Fred Hampton or domestic spying by the CIA - and this stuff will eventually come out.
