Powerful political forces nearly invisible to much of our public/news

[Craig234]

There is a class of billionaires who view the country as a piggy bank, with a big problem of all these 'American people' who are costly. They care nothing about those people and would like to just extract money and end spending on anyone else. For them oligarchy is the only good option, not a problem.

This class is very powerful and influential - for just one example, it's they who were behind the creation of the thousands of people "Project 2025" to radically de-democratize the US and shift yet more trillions from the American people to them - yet they are almost invisible in our media. They're rarely referred to as a group, their agenda rarely discussed, they don't even have an agreed name they're talked about so little.

Some of their actions are described - "USAID was defunded which will kill millions of needy people", for example - but it's not really described as something done because of that group. It's 'trump did it' or 'Musk did it'. It would be a little like trying to organize the American revolution if there was almost no talk about England.

A second group that seems likely the most powerful lobbying group in the country after the group above - and closely aligned with them with a lot of overlap - is the rogue state lobby. 80% of our Congress is 'owned' by that lobby, pushing them to blindly support both the rogue state's agenda and oligarchy, with hundreds of members who each literally have 'minders' to keep them in line, yet how often is that lobby mentioned in our media?

It's one thing to have political groups out in the open who can be supported or opposed, but much if not most of the political forces dominating our government are largely invisible, leaving the public a much harder battle to oppose them. And so, of course, they get a lot less opposition. It seems a first step is for them to be recognized, named, defined, and regularly reported on for the public to respond.

Otherwise, we have a sort of silent, invisible coup. Trillions are shifted, genocides are committed, while the public is ignored. Elections? That's what the billions in spending on opinion manipulation are for. People voted more about 'egg prices' - which went further up under trump - than trillions stolen by Project 2025. Oligarchs and the rogue state lobby should dominate our public discussion as the country's most powerful political forces.

Every accusation is a confession. You have inverted reality, twisted to hide, yet your entire scenario is applicable to the democrat party. We all saw first hand that it was not Joe Biden running the country, but this cabal of leaders behind the scenes.

It's why their party votes in lock step and deviation is not permitted, vote one, vote all, entirely given over to this highly corrupt force.

This is just a facet of late stage capitalism. We are at the point where the wealth gap is so high that some form of authoritarianism is needed to distract people to avoid a financial reset. Maga decided to be willing pawns here who prioritize social feelings over actual economic gains.
