      I’m sure that project 2025 was just the public beginning, and I’m sure there is lots to follow soon that we don’t know about yet.

      I honestly expect the US to become very aggressive militarily soon and go on expansion wars

      Although no one was prosecuted, the congressional committee final report said, “there is no question that these attempts were discussed, were planned, and might have been placed in execution when and if the financial backers deemed it expedient.”

      Damn, I simply can’t imagine why these things keep happening…

        I’ve read a lot about this incident. The bottom line is it was going to be too embarrassing to the US government and corporate interests and so the business leaders likely received a stern talking to behind closed doors to never attempt anything like this again or else bad things would happen to them (presumably family names ruined, contracts canceled, etc.). A deal that, in fairness, they appeared to honor afterward.

          Meanwhile the US is throwing money and contracts at Peter Thiel after he said openly he is hostile to the state and wants to destroy America. When the dollar becomes worthless, what is he going to draw his power from?
