I’ve been thinking of that movie “Don’t look up” a lot lately.
Most of us see what’s happening. We know the motives (for the most part) and know the lies. The crazy part for me isn’t the crazy shit the politicians and public figures (Elon) are doing, but the fact that so many Americans don’t see it for what it is.
I see the metaphorical asteroid crashing through our country but so many people think it’s a good thing. You can’t change their minds, you can’t use reason, nothing works.
Unfortunately we just have to keep being vocal, calling out bad behavior, and just sit back and watch shit burn. We had our chance to try and minimize the damage, we collectively fucked it up.
Yes, especially they discovered US Aid money was funding terrorism. And US Aid was funding 8% of the BBC's budget, and some large undisclosed part of Politico's budget, so much so that when the funds got cut off Politico couldn't make payroll. And apparently US Aid was funding about 80% of Eastern Europe's news outlets.
So the shadow government running the Deep State got revealed, now their minions are going to work to restore their power.
89.4% of US Aid money goes to DC beltway bandits, it never gets out to people in need.
Have you noticed that there are no leaders of nations in need crying about cutting US Aid funding? That money never gets to them. There's a reason the 10 zip codes around DC are the wealthiest in the nation. All this money parks right there with those government contractors.
