Everything you see happening to the United States is an intelligence operation run by professionals who know how the system works.
They have access to unlimited funding through the American taxpayer via NGO's & U.S. agencies like USAID. The only way to defeat these people is to strip the system and rebuild it from the ground up with people of integrity.

It was a packed house at the Starlite on Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds, where I had 4-H exhibits as a kid. I’d conservatively estimate 500-600 people there, a sizable minority of independents & Republicans.
