Maybe you but I am serious when I say we should start guillotining billionaires.
Here's the thing. The French and Russian governments were unprepared for massive civil unrest.
Here in America we have companies like Blackwater [or whatever they are calling themselves this week] Staffed by ex-CIA hotshots with access to a massive data base and lots and lots of money.
I'd bet anything that they are already planning to capitalize on this attack.
My guess is they're currently consulting their legal teams and politicians, trying to figure out how to get the public to pay for their own private Secret Service for corporate executives.
I have another comment in this thread. I said that 9/11 gave us the Patriot Act and that this attack will probably lead to something worse.
Right. The legal teams employed by these bastards are the ones who write our laws, our legislators just sign them.
Which is why people need to vote in every election.
AOC and Omar didn't magically appear. They did old fashioned political work.
I will never understand people who voluntarily relinquish a right that their ancestors died to provide them with.
