Trump's a puppet. Feds aren't going to do shit with the Epstein files against trump because the feds are the puppet master. The entire Epstein drama is most likely used as theater distraction. And the goal the fed want to achieve is probably building new modernized foundational infrastructure of surveillance, policing, and profiling. They will use trump and other politics as a distraction until the infrastructure is built.

Trump is a fall guy... The patsy. ...Even if he is a cunt. Hate directed to trump is exactly how they distract people. It's like a paradox of gaslighting. It's all on purpose.

There's no side to fight for or live for. They are all the attached to the same beast and used and manipulated for different objectives.

I feel like you're writing "feds" but meaning "deep state [conspiracy that I've heard from looney red hats for years]". I'm struggling to see what any domestic actor gains from fully dismantling the US economy, crippling basic necessities like food production, wasting military resources and burning every strategic ally on the world stage.

The fed already had a free runway for a surveillance state since the Patriot Act passed, no need to go scorched earth to do something they were already well on their way to doing. Any old false flag event would do if you wanted to accelerate the process, why the total destruction of decades of Cold War power building? If there's anyone fanning flames and pulling strings it could only logically be a foreign actor.

Ah New America, yeah that has a ring to it. Also "The moon is ours" is so funny. To quote Wikipedia:

The United Nations-sponsored 1967 Outer Space Treaty established all of outer space as an international commons by describing it as the "province of all mankind" and forbidding any nation from claiming territorial sovereignty.

further

outer space is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means;

And the US signed this treaty and acknowledges it (excluding Trump who probably hasn't heard of it). Ok fuck I need to stop digging into this. So apparently there's also the Moon Treaty, and to quote it:

In 2020 the Artemis Accords were signed [...]. At the time of the signing of the accords U.S. President Donald Trump additionally released an executive order called "Encouraging International Support for the Recovery and Use of Space Resources." The order emphasizes that "the United States does not view outer space as a 'global commons" and calls the Moon Agreement "a failed attempt at constraining free enterprise."

(emphasis mine)

ok I am finding myself on top of a rabbithole I have no energy going down so I'll stop here and leave you with this i guess

He's demented. Reminds me of my grandfather the week before he died of dementia. Raving about nonsense.

Since when is "Trump doing stupid things during a meltdown" stunning? OK, maybe for the extreme level of stupidity this time. But stupid meltdowns have become a daily event with that imbecile.
