And if you want techno-feudalism it would help greatly to have a population that are dependent and lack the ability to think critically. AI is a tool to facilitate the end-to-end wipeout of critical thinking.

So the order for the US military to launch these deadly Caribbean boat strikes was straightforwardly illegal under US and international law, immoral under long established standards, and on top of that, terrible strategy.
Not maybe. Not got to check with a lawyer. Unambiguous. Blatant. Deliberate.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

In 1861, Americans went to war to keep a cabal from taking control of the government and turning it into an oligarchy. Americans fought for a government that defended democracy and equality before the law.
And in 1865, at least, they won. Happy Thanksgiving. - HCR

The President directing the FBI to target us is exactly why we made this video in the first place. He believes in weaponizing the federal government against his perceived enemies and does not believe laws apply to him or his Cabinet.

It’s unfortunate Esquure won’t allow easy “posting” of its articles, but this from Charlie Pierce is worth a read:
“Senators Wyden and Merkley both know there’s more in the files on which Bessent is sitting over in Treasury. And so do a lot of other people.”

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout
