“Weaponization of government. We hear that term a lot, it's become popular recently, particularly in conservative media. Weaponization, what does it mean, though?
We say these things, it's worth pausing to define what we actually mean when we say them. To me, this is what weaponization actually means. It means taking a neutral institution, an institution that's supposed to be not partisan in nature, but partisan political forces co-opting that institution to accomplish its own political goals.
That's, I think, the heart of what we mean when we say the weaponization of or by government. There's one type of weaponization that I've been intently focused on on the last few years. That's the weaponization of the private sector.
The two sectors, the two areas of the private sector that we've seen most weaponized by political forces in the government are in the realm of communications and financial services. Let's talk about communications...

🇺🇸 VIVEK puts the V in VP 🇺🇸

[@helsbels2582]

The amount of taxes people hand over to governments, our countries should be a well oiled machinery where the people benefit. It’s the government at the top that create homelessness and poverty through mismanagement of our money. Governments are there to govern for their people who pay their wages. They do anything but. It’s not rocket science, family, faith jobs and prosperity. Yet we have to argue that case. Very sad.

[@DebunkPropaganda]

I agree with you 100%, except the "mismanagement" part. Yeah, I'm sorry, but at this point, it's not mismanagement anymore. It's delibrate & strategically planned 'mismanagement' with the intent to destabilize and destroy this nation, by politicians & all their lobbyists, backers, special interest groups, foreign interests, even our own adversaries, etc. I'm ok with Reagan's spending, it was 100% necessary. Alot of people criticize him for how much debt he added + his strategic defense iniative (star wars program) but this was actually a false flag - a diversion operation, it was never a real program and all the data and research was falsified. The entire purpose of Reagan's spending was to force the USSR to spend money they didn't have whilst simultaneously bogging them down in Afghanistan, which ultimately played a huge role in collapsing the USSR. Yeah ok, all makes sense. That was a great way to use our economic might. But after Reagan, once the USSR had already collapsed, we should've turned inwards and started focusing on our own people, as there was no longer another major superpower that was threatening us. But instead, what we got, was this political "dynasty" per se for the next couple decades, of the Bush family, Clinton's, Obama, Biden, and whilst there were minor below the line policy differences, their agenda was all entirely the same. They expanded the 3rd wave of globalization which killed this country's economic might & sold off our entire manufacturing base to China & other nations. They got us all involved in unnecessary conflicts, which of course added more debt + killed off our most patriotic courageous American men, even those who didn't die in the sand wars still returned back home with missing limbs or a missing piece of their mind & identity. Crooked tyrants like the type we have, love endless wars. Because it cleanses the entire nation of all the warrior spirited patriotic fighting age males, and what eventually you just have a population of subservient docile weak people who have a high level of agreeableness, and perhaps also don't really care much for this country. This is all planned, strategic, and very delibrate. There are genuinely hardcore anti-americans in our highest positions of power calling the shots, who all have dual citizenship and backup plans & wealth transferred to other countries already, with their luggages packed, passports ready, and the moment this country REALLY collapses and you actually see mass civil unrest, civil war, chaos, etc, is the moment these people who created this storm are gonna flee from it, whilst they leave us all here to suffer the consequences of their mess. There is a retired CIA operator named Andrew Bustamante who has a YT channel and is on many podcasts. He worked for the CIA. And he seems to think all this "woke" stuff is a good thing. He also said he didn't like vivek, and when asked about what things he did like about vivek, he replied "Well atleast he's a minority, so that's one good thing, but I can't think of anything else. Nikki Haley would be much better than Vivek and Trump". Obviously you see where this is going, and I'm sure you already understand the type of a person they are, when they support hardcore establishment neo-conservatives like Haley. You know what's really sad? Andy talks about in almost all his podcasts about how he's "leaving America before 2030". It's very insulting to me and many other Americans too I'm sure. The fact that all these people who were in high positions of power, and 3 letter agencies, etc, are all just packing up and leaving now that they're seeing the consequences of what they support. If they had no passports and were restricted from travel, and likewise their family too, I guarantee you these people would not be doing what they're doing. It's a different story when you don't have dual citizenship and other countries to run away to, and you are instead tied down to the country you live in, embedded within your own local community, neighborhood, and you have the intent of ensuring that your kids will have decent lives to look forward to in the coming decades.

You are talking about the republican citizens right? Bc the republic politicians or most of them are actually a uniparty that is working with the democrats, they always speak tough against the democrats, however, always at the 11th hour they stand down and don't do anything to actually oppose them and in fact they vote with them.

Hey Vivek I'm a big fan. A 69 year old Navy Veteran. i believe i have come up with a good grass roots idea. An idea that would be bi partisan coalition i would like to get a Post Office box address i could send you a write up on the coalition i think might really help fight the corruption it relates to taking a responsible role as American Citizens Veterans and teenagers could play an important role in the functions of our Republic. LET ME KNOW IF YOU READ THIS COMMENT. THANKS YOUR FAN Richard La Fountaine.

[@neilanderson891]

First, I want to salute you for your service in the Navy. Thank you! Second, please consider discussing your idea online, you might get a lot of support, or you might get a lot of criticism, both of which could benefit your idea, and the USA. You could start a webcast and call it "Dear Vivek, what do you think of this idea?" and get lots of people commenting on the strengths and weaknesses of your idea, and others' ideas.

[@MagnusCross]

Then you served the wrong country. Russia is across the world.

[@neilanderson891]

Alternatively, you could mail a copy of your letter in an envelope with no address, just simply "To Vivek" ... with your return address. 50-50 are the odds your letter will get delivered to Vivek.

Derrien Beattie is Amazing I have followed his reporting for along time the world needs more people like him and Vivek I could listening to all day long he’s very refreshing .

[@America-FIRSTcostBuck05]

Vivek IMO is already the most important influential voice in politics and I know I’m not alone in that… I am 39 years old and he is the first politician I trust to speak the truth publicly out loud because I have seen him change his mind and accept that facts change and admit how the new facts changed his decision, never seen a politician do that, which is mind blowing and scary AF! Trump would be wise to pick him VP because Vivek is the future, whether Trump sees it or not and it would be absolutely wasteful for Trump not to take advantage of being remembered for creating the bridge to giving political power to the young. Those old bastards in congress got to go, they have no future so they don’t care about ours. We are the majority we should hold the torch of power to deal with the problems we currently face

[@lechanneldemysterieuxmante1807]

BATF and the top 3 ranks in the FBI needs to go. The Justice Dept needs to be vetted for ideologues instead of strict logicians. We need to go to a national sales tax that can be run by any cash register. The more your consume, the more tax you pay and no one consumes like the rich. Then the IRS can be cut in half or less. Every other agency not in the constitution needs a heavy round of early retirements, nd serious curtailment of finances. The Establishment has a cozy agreement where Democrats do not go after the DOD, and the Republicans do not go after Welfare, until that stops, we will never balance the budget.
