PBS lawyer fired after championing ‘REEDUCATION CAMPS’ for children of Trump supporters in latest Project Veritas sting

Hidden camera footage of PBS exec Michael Beller, in which he appears to wax poetic about ‘deprogramming’ Trump supporters’ kids and celebrates their parents’ death from Covid-19, has apparently gotten him fired.

Speaking to an undercover reporter for conservative muckraking outfit Project Veritas, Beller appeared to boast that “even if [president-elect Joe] Biden wins, we go for all the Republican voters, and Homeland Security will take their children away.”

“We'll put them into re-education camps,” he continued, suggesting this was necessary because “kids who are growing up knowing nothing but Trump” would take after their Trump-supporting parents and presumably become pint-sized bigots.

They’ll be raising a generation of intolerant, horrible people -–horrible kids.

PBS responded via Twitter just hours after Project Veritas’ clip was posted, announcing that Beller - who had served as principal counsel of business affairs for PBS since 2013, according to his LinkedIn page – “no longer works for” the publicly-funded network. It even belittled his former role, calling him a “mid-level staff attorney” and insisting he did not make “any editorial decisions.” The network stated they “strongly condemn[ed] violence.”

“There is no place for hateful rhetoric at PBS, and this individual’s views in no way reflect our values or opinions.” (2/3)

Beller seemed less than serious in some parts of the recording, grinning, for example, as he suggested Biden supporters should “go to the White House and throw molotov cocktails” should the Democrat lose the election. While the summer's Black Lives Matter protests featured plenty of the homemade projectiles, few of Beller's class demographic were actually doing the throwing.

However, the lawyer seemed to have put quite a bit of thought into how to reeducate Trump supporters' kids, expanding on the "enlightenment camps" where they'd be sent as he spoke to his undercover companion. "They're nice! They have Sesame Street characters in the classrooms and they watch PBS all day." The children's program has been repeatedly skewered by conservative pundits for 'indoctrinating' the younger generation, most recently with a half-hour "anti-racist" special called "The Power of We."

Beller also sounded genuinely delighted when discussing a surge of Covid-19 cases in middle America and venting his spleen on "stupid" Americans living outside cities like Washington DC. "What's great is that Covid is spiking in all the red states right now," he said, explaining that "either those people won't come out to vote for Trump…or a lot of them are sick and dying."

Top Health Official Confirms: Those Who Refuse COVID Vaccine Will Be Placed on Registry

Putting law-abiding citizens on government lists has been and always will be a bad idea.

Despite this, Spain is compiling a register of every citizen who refuses to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.

That list will be shared with other European Union nations, according to BBC News.

Spain’s Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, announced the news during an interview with La Sexta television on Dec. 28.

“What will be done is a register, which will be shared with our European partners … of those people who have been offered it and have simply rejected it,” he said.

People who are offered a therapy that they refuse for any reason, it will be noted in the register … that there is no error in the system, not to have given this person the possibility of being vaccinated.”

Illa added that the list would not be made public and would be compiled “with the utmost respect for data protection.”

BBC News reported that, according to a recent poll, 28 percent of Spanish citizens said they will opt out of getting the vaccine.

Government overreach has defined Spain’s response to the coronavirus.

In addition to the newly announced registry, Spain is under a nationwide curfew until early May, according to BBC News.

Still, problems created by the curfew pale in comparison to the dangers caused by a government list of citizens.

One of the biggest problems posed by COVID vaccines is the lack of trust in them.

In order to address the pandemic, they were rushed through production at unprecedented speeds.

Because of this, many people across the world are concerned the vaccines have not been properly vetted.

While there is no substantial evidence to suggest anything is wrong with the vaccines, citizens should have a right to decide whether they get inoculated.

Although a list that shows citizens’ vaccination preferences could have benefits, people should have the right to not be put on a government list that might be used to strip their rights.

Spain has allowed this to happen, but given how COVID crazy that many in the United States have become, how long will it be until such a policy is introduced in America?
