So the US has dumped billions in helping Ukraine fight the Russians but now we’ve lifted oil sanctions against Russia which will give them billions of dollars so we can fiend on crude while admin kicks EV’s and renewables in the balls.

If I ask “is admin this stupid?” I’ll get all the “duh”(s) I could ever want. I’m not the smartest guy in the room so please help me understand where my taxes go (without representation) and why so many in leadership let them get away with it. It is the most transparent admin in history, and we get to see all the corruption and law breaking and we just watch.

    1. False flag event due to war/terrorism.

    2. Martial law due to false flag event.

      I don’t see it. I won’t dismiss that sort of thing entirely, but I think the logistics are just wayyyyyy too hard. Moreover, the American population can be disappointing, for sure, but they’re not docile. Somewhere along the way, someone would step out of line, and then you’ve got bedlam.

        I agree with you about the logistics difficulty. But there are many in power who are pretty clearly working toward implementing those steps lined up above, even as they’re incredibly inefficient and buffoonish. Many people, both “docile” and whatever may be perceived as “out-of-line”-ers, have been punished already, for years, and there’s no sign of stopping from those in power.

        To the authoritarian buffoons, the end game is: riches for me, enslavement/extermination for thee, all to run from their weird daddy issues.

          I think your summary of the objective is just about right, and then a few more things seem pertinent:

          1. When has it ever worked, to get people all having aligned goals?
          2. If “the rich” ever like enslave/eliminate all working people, there will be a new group of “not rich enough” to condemn.

          Tbh when I think more about it, it seems like they’re trying to fill a bottomless pit. Daddy issues is right.
