#Jan6Committee should devote at least one hearing on the history, impact and continuance of foreign influence to undermine and over throw the U.S. government. It's all right there but the public sees it as right vs left. No it's petro fascists vs democracy

Currently America has been successfully attacked by Russian actions in concert with oil producers, China, UAE, KSA and other malign actors who want Trump or a Malleable autocratic trumplike creature back in power. The #1922Memo continues to shapeshifter the balance of power.

"The Army notified Flynn in a May 2 letter, obtained by The Washington Post, that it would seek to recoup $38,557.06 from him, zeroing in on money and in-kind compensation he received for a gala dinner celebrating the 10th anniversary of RT"
"He's out there operating without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of any acceptable human conduct. And he is still in the field commanding troops." statesmanjournal.com/story/opinion/…

Asian and European factories are still cheaper and still jammed up but America is where things need to be built. dpxgear.com/blogs/news/dpx…
The hard part will be to find American craftsmen, managers, engineers etc, the usual crop of experienced hands-on employees. There is a huge labor hole that needs to be filled. mbtmag.com/business-intel…

Part of the methodology to overthrow and delegitimize governments is to constantly undermine the process that gets them elected by popular vote. Nevermind that the system worked to elect Trump and Bush but it's old school playbook stuff. nytimes.com/2022/07/05/bus…
There are plenty of manuals on how to overthrow governments. In 1968 Edward Luttwak wrote "Coup d'Etat: A Practical Handbook". He assumed that armed forces would be required to perform regime change. Not really. nybooks.com/articles/1969/…
