I think American Oligarchs want now what Putin and his Oligarchs have, "Politically protected and secure" oligarchy, less disruption from law enforcement ( agency enforcement like EPA, SEC, etc) and less uncertainty that fair elections always bring to them. Racism plays a role here, as increased equality and justice is called for in our Policing and policies, the people entrusted to uphold the law are more engendered toward MAGA Populism, Q, and anti Public Health, than they are to the Constitution. This only emboldens the Oligarchy as they can more easily keep the police in their back pocket after they have them secured in their false ideology. The American Oligarchy wants MORE freedom for themselves. They want to do as they please and do not care about democracy, justice, the rule of law, or the earth for future generations.
TFG and McCarthy represent Billionaire Libertarian's. The split is not just with Liz Cheney and about Jan 6th. The divide now sheds a light on the split between her backers and loyalists.... the Military Industrial Complex, CIA, Intelligence Community & Energy (oil and gas), but also maybe the American finance and banking community. This collation may be in the minority in quantity of people, but their quality is that of the deepest pockets and homegrown legal profit generation. But how can legal businesses of military manufacturing, oil and gas, banking and financial services keep up with unlimited foreign capital flowing into American politics? ( most of this capital comes from the competing oil nations.....Middle East, Russia, maybe Brazil too, these are competitors to Western energy company's).
Robert Mercer's front man, Bannon, has the quantity of people that is MAGA Populism. Maga and Q are just mass market products for confusion, white rage, a con man's front for hiding and keeping the focus off the real issue, this new American Oligarchy. But fear of political violence is a real threat at every level to maintain decency and good faith. TFG and McCarthy represent more than Maga and Q. They represent the influx of foreign capital to fund, meddle, assist in the rigging to win elections, to produce the political and legal cover to sustain themselves at the expense of Law, Order, and equal opportunity.
The biggest challenge from the last recession wasn't the slowness of the economic recovery, its is how the recovery made us vulnerable to foreign investment rescuing our country from lack of oversight, accountability, and common sense. The foreign capital saved the wrong people, and with it, the tying of pollical strings in trade. For TFG, it was Deutsche Bank, and dark sales of his overpriced commercial real estate and empty condo buildings saved by dark foreign states shelled up as "investors" after the real estate and credit crash of 2007-2008. And now this pump and dump Media stock scheme by a former US President? All while enriching themselves at the expense of the American middle class and American itself. Maybe McCarthy can only see the $ in TFG's hands and is just playing to get some of that for his Tea Party Wing?
The previous Letter was about building good. I sure Merrick Garland is building something special, because American democracy needs it soon.
Ted, 👏🏻👏🏻 your analysis. May I have your permission to forward your comments to a non member (but active Dem) who has been struggling to understand just who/what makes Bannon such a constant public figure? “He’s a nobody, wo significant position, and he is always being talked about…”. I see B as a fomenter of click bait messages….the machine to keep the caged lions continually fed and yet always hungry for more. Liked your take…”Mercer’s mouthpiece” (BTW…Not dire…is it even appropriate to make such a request?)
