Though it is neither necessary, nor sufficient, to be sure of anything at all.

We just need to pat them on the head and say, "No, silly, you're not going to move out when we start taxing you properly. You're going to have your nose pressed to the window of the limo excitedly at all the cool shit. You're going to want to stop the limo and check it out! And not feel scared to!"

It's almost like when you tax the rich in a place you get to make that place a better place and even the rich just looking out the windows of their limos at most of that place in passing prefer to think "oh, that looks nice" rather than "I must prepare my bunker for the impending apocalypse"

Every "population crisis" article in western media is just "WHERE ARE THE WHITE BABIES" in disguise and we absolutely do not have to give any credence to any of them

to me the takeaway from that scene with Deep Throat is not “follow the money” it’s “the truth is these are not very bright guys and things go out of hand”

It cannot get any more direct other than doing the thing itself. Which they are doing, by the way. Who is keeping records of the cars, trucks, furniture, jewelry, electronics, etc of all the people they’ve black bagged and disappeared to their wildcat internment camps? No one. It starts small.

People. Please. We all already know Thos. Chatterton Williams says nothing of value to no one who cares. Consider his latest pre-dunked by all and sundry, and move on. The field's been played. The well is dry. The horse is dead. Move on.
