Politicians routinely lie, hide facts, evade taxes, help their kin with lucrative contracts. Media is complicit mostly because of the negative repercussions they might have to face.
They falsify or hide records, they blame things on opponents. A thread 🧵 for your awareness👇
President Biden's administration is scrambling to track the nearly $20 billion in military aid it has sent to Ukraine as Republicans warn of impending audits when they take control of the House in January.
Isn’t this enough for proof Mr. Biden
Politicians are the problem creators not the solution finders. They create more problems fixing what they’ve broken already and blame them on previous administration as always.
When is Mr. Biden getting a Nobel prize for his radical breakthroughs in crypto based #MoneyLaundering from #FTX, Ukraine and #SBF_FTX
Since it’s filmed by her daughter…
Myth will be portrayed as reality
Myth: The greatest woman politician to ever live on the face of the earth
Reality: The most corrupt insider trading politician to ever live on the face of the planet earth
Presenting to you a US representative. At least maintain a little decency.
Biden steals your money through inflation, Inflation Reduction Act, Student Loan Forgiveness, Ukraine war funding, money laundering through FTX etc.
His staff steal things like purses, luggages etc. they’re all thieves.
DONT WORRY SON, PRESS WILL COVER FOR US AS LONG AS WE ARE IN POWER…
AFTER THAT OUR FRIENDS FROM THE DC SWAMP WILL
Non-binary Biden nuclear official (Sam Brinton) used ‘stolen’ suitcase from Minneapolis airport for month after dumping woman’s clothes…

The term "Military-Industrial Complex" (MIC) was popularized by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his farewell address in 1961. Here's an explanation of what it entails and how it functions:
### Definition:
The Military-Industrial Complex refers to the relationship between a nation's military, its government defense establishment, and private industry involved in producing arms, military technology, and other defense-related products. This complex has evolved to include think tanks, universities, and other institutions that also contribute to or benefit from defense policy and spending.
### Components:
1. **Government (Military and Defense Departments):**
- The government sets defense policy, determines military needs, and allocates budgets. In the U.S., this primarily involves the Department of Defense (DoD), but also other agencies like the Department of Homeland Security, the CIA, and others involved in national security.
2. **Defense Contractors:**
- These are private companies that design, produce, and sell military hardware, software, and services. Examples include Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, and many others. These companies depend on government contracts for a significant portion of their revenue.
3. **Congress:**
- Members of Congress influence defense spending through their ability to authorize and appropriate funds. Defense spending can be a significant economic driver for districts with military bases or defense manufacturing facilities, leading to what's often called "pork barrel" projects.
4. **Think Tanks and Lobbying Groups:**
- These organizations often receive funding from defense companies and advocate for policies that would increase defense spending or favor specific military technologies or strategies.
### How It Works:
- **Budget Cycle:**
- Defense spending is part of the federal budget, which Congress must approve. Lobbying efforts by defense contractors, military leaders, and related interest groups can influence these budgetary decisions.
- **Revolving Door:**
- There's a notable "revolving door" phenomenon where individuals move between positions in the military, defense companies, and government. This can lead to policies that benefit former or future employers due to personal relationships or future career prospects in the defense industry.
- **Research and Development:**
- Significant R&D in military technology is often funded by the government, sometimes through contracts that promise future purchases if the technology proves viable. This intertwines the interests of the military with those of the companies developing these technologies.
- **Economic Impact:**
- Defense spending can significantly impact local economies, especially in areas with defense installations or manufacturing plants. This economic dependency can lead to political support for continued or increased military expenditure.
- **Lack of Accountability:** The complexity and secrecy often associated with defense projects can lead to less accountability regarding costs, effectiveness, and ethical considerations.
- **War as Business:** There's a concern that wars or conflicts might be prolonged or initiated for economic benefits to the defense industry.
- **Influence on Foreign Policy:** The MIC might push for policies that secure markets for defense products, potentially affecting diplomatic relations and international peace.
In essence, while the Military-Industrial Complex has been pivotal in maintaining military readiness and technological superiority, it also poses challenges regarding governance, transparency, and the ethical distribution of public resources. Its operation reflects a deep integration between economic interests, national security, and political power, with significant implications for both domestic policy and international relations.
ELON MUSK: "It's pretty wild that a tiny tax on tea started the revolution and now we get the living daylights taxed out of us and theres no revolution. You get taxed on what you earned, you get taxed on what you buy, and you get taxed on what you own. Taxes, taxes, taxes, and what does it get spent on? That's why we need to reduce the size of government."
