Death covenant.
It's truly difficult to conclude otherwise. Every policy below points to a covenant among the safe oligarchs to thin the herd:
exacerbating global warming
deregulating food safety
halting vaccination
ending USAID to promote famine
ending AIDS control medications to children abroad
My brother told me this was a plan 20 years ago. I think he heard it on InfoWars. My brother had been right on some other out-there ideas, but I dismissed this outright.
I also find it difficult not to conclude that opening the door for Russian is part of the strategy of the fascists. Let the Russians further undermine faith in our systems. What do we care who paves the way to tyranny? (It's so weird to use those words in serious conversation, but I can think of none more apt.)
The Russians approaching fired federal workers is great for the rabid right. "See, they were traitors all along! Their talking to the Russians and Chinese! That's why they love the ebil socialist dems!" As they allow Russia free rein, they convince the idiots that somebody else is.
Trump took over the hate engine and now the oligarchs have taken over him. I'm sure it wasn't difficult. Trump probably thinks it was his idea.
