Good God, what an abomination. And this is the stuff we are allowed to know about. I am certain this is only the tip of an iceberg of dreadful things occurring behind closed doors.

Yes, I bet you're right! There's also the fact that mealy-mouthed, "moderate" dems have ignored all the previous warning signs. The Powell Memo from 1971 (https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/democracy/the-lewis-powell-memo-a-corporate-blueprint-to-dominate-democracy/) leads directly to Project 2025. And it's only today (!!!) that I finally read about some democrats working on a Project 2026. The leadership of the Democratic Party is out of touch and outdated, beholden to corporate money. We could have had President Bernie, I'm sure! There's so much we, the voters, indeed didn't know. But our elected officials did, and stayed quiet. That's finally changing! For many, "progressive" or "socialist" are NOT dirty words any more, equal to scary commies, as the GOP wants you to believe.

Yeah, we were warned of the impending fascism. And then we passed Citizens United which allowed unlimited corporate PACs and influence. I am afraid we are in the death throes of a late stage empire and what we are seeing in most of our leaders is just pigs at the trough, trying to enrich themselves before we succumb to complete currency debasement. This latest awfulness in the Gulf is just so hard to witness.

Absolutely. I feel like I'm stuck in Orwell's 1984.

That is exactly what I feel like and I can't believe how many people have fallen for this con man and are following this madman.
