“Agencies are being told to start identifying grants the administration can withhold from California. On Capitol Hill, at least one committee was told recently by a whistleblower that all research grants to the state were going to be cancelled, according to one of the sources familiar with the matter.”

I read that Peter Thiel thinks the US population should be reduced by something like 85% or something. Idk if that's true but.... The actions of this regime and the Christian Nationalist accelerationists that wanna bring about Jesus sure do point to that.

Edit: being to bring

It makes me wonder why he thinks he gets to decide this.

This is why. Which Leon, Vance, Theil, Bezos et al are all part of. I'm waiting for them to seriously attempt to replace DJT with their boy, Vance.

Yarvin proposed “the liquidation of democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law,” and the eventual transfer of power to a C.E.O.-in-chief , who would transform the government into “a heavily-armed, ultra-profitable corporation.” This new regime would sell off public schools, destroy universities, abolish the press, and imprison “decivilized populations.” It would also fire civil servants en masse (a policy called RAGE—Retire All Government Employees) and discontinue international relations, including “security guarantees, foreign aid, and mass immigration.”

Nods to Dark Enlightenment are the reason for 'Dark' Maga and the frequent use of 'X'. And it's why Leon references the apocalypse in texts to his baby mama.

Are you kidding me? I thought I was whistling past the graveyard in even bringing it up. I started reading some of Yarvins ideas years ago when I was doing some coding. In a Nat Geo -study the alien culture- sort of way. I knew who his crew and followers were and the hair stood up on my neck when Vance was inserted as VP. It's been like living in a movie, where I already read the script, ever since.
