Financial war in response to trade war and territorial threats? More and more people appear to be calling for it. So I updated my post on U.S. Treasuries holdings—now with the latest data.

I think you did not fully get the point. German sociology text books of more recent origin are notoriously avoiding the topic of "race". I am not talking of sociology texts of the Nazi era!

German text books would, sadly, pass!

Hope it was rewarding

We hope u enjoy

That's even worse than being ordered to participate in made-up wars.

The only exit I can think of leads to the planet at the end of "Don't look up". BTW. The movie's theme carries us far into brains of MAGA folks, as "don't look up" also seems to apply to the Epstein case.

ICE uses extrajudicial violence and intimidation for political ends. It's unconstrained by the law, unaccountable to the public. Its crimes are endorsed at the highest levels. What does this tell us? That it's the force of paramilitary thugs all fascist movements & governments use. It is Trump’s SS.

Innenminister Dobrindt im Interview: „Wir werden zurückschlagen“ Deutschland ist das Ziel vieler hybrider Angriffe – und Bundesinnenminister Dobrindt verrät, was er dagegen tun will. Auch für die AfD und den Umgang mit Trump hat er einen Plan.

Wer dieses Interview mit Innenminister Dobrindt liest, wird verstehen, dass es die AfD an der Macht gar nicht braucht, um dieses Land autoritär umzubauen. Jede einzelne Aussage ist erschreckend. Zum Beispiel was er zum Dscholani-Regime sagt:

Return of the "Einzelfälle"

This extremism emerges from the power grab of venture capitalists in the technology industry. Having grown exceedingly rich in the first two internet bubbles, this element now seeks to compromise the US government, to assume a new level of power and wealth, and attain forms of legal, economic and regulatory sovereignty, where they can operate outside of any other nation-state power. The resultant ideology is racist, eugenicist, fascist and authoritarian in nature, often openly so.

“Tech fascists are working to establish their own sovereign, distributed state. This is the Network State: a new, billionaire-backed nation made up of crypto cities and colonies across the United States, Latin America, Africa, the Mediterranean, the Philippines.”

seems to be the case. What I suspected, too! A going globl strategy that now produces a fallout.
