In Trump's version of "Newspeak" , the state endorsed vocabulary in Orwell's 1984, the term "Truth Social" says it all...his own version of reality, usually lie based, and absolutely antisocial. Actually antidemocratic.

Elliott Abrams is one of the worst human beings in modern American politics/foreign policy.
Elliott Abrams specifically wants this, as does his network. It didn’t begin in Trump term two. Began with Iran-Contra and continued through multiple admins, including Bush and also Biden, who installed Abrams as an advisor in 2023. Same horrible people with same horrible plans for a half century.
Who specifically wants this? And why? It feels like more than just oil. I am not saying the reason is good or even rooted in reality, I just want know what it is. Is it just that some people have wanted this for a long time like they do with Iran?

Trump received a bipartisan standing ovation from the US Congress—including Nancy Pelosi—when he condemned Maduro.
We’ll see how this plays out now, six years later, but military operations on behalf of capital interests tend to have bipartisan support.

Using this logic, any country could invade Israel, capture Netanyahu, and bring him to the Hague to face his indictments by the International Criminal Court.

Trump spent 93 days last year on his golf course. That's 3 entire months that he lived his life of luxury on our dime as opposed to sitting in the Oval Office where a POTUS is supposed to be. And those are just golfing days, not including the many more he spent at his property not golfing.

It's true that Garland did nothing about Trump and Epstein while being completely aware of the crimes. The crimes were public information! Garland was installed to protect the DOJ, which protects Trump and Epstein. It's explained in this free 2023 article. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/servants-o...

IMHO, you can’t understand what’s happening to the US if u don’t know about the “network state” movement & its “parallel establishment” strategy, which includes building “parallel societies” (w/ their own physical territories) & “parallel institutions” in media, education, finance, science, etc. 1/
