I think that Biden has an even bigger problem than the fact that he keeps giving taxpayer-funded weapons to Israel to kill Palestinian kids: it's the recognition by many people that the reason for doing so is to appease the actually in charge of our country. That , not city leadership, are directing police to suppress free speech. That's not .

I gasped when I got to: "Some members also offered to pay for private investigators to assist New York police in handling the protests, the chat log shows — an offer a member of the group reported in the chat that Adams accepted."

Thank you for surfacing this!
Happy Friday.

Ps. Don't take it from me: everything I learned about how we're living in an oligarchy - and the dangerous path we're on towards the end of the American experiment - I learned by reading Peter Turchin's book "End Times". Fascinating and scary stuff.
