46. I will add to this theory some of my own speculation

After 9-11 many of the worlds oligarchs, especially those who deal in illicit trades, like the Russian mobsters, Asian Triads, other international syndicates, were getting hurt by the US Department of Justice Financial Crimes Divisions who were trying to stop the flow of money to terrorist organizations well FINCIN was doing such a great job of disrupting money laundering through new international baking regulations designed to report suspected financial crimes that it was hurting all of the oligarchs across the globe.

They made it their mission to put the useful idiot into the Whitehouse so that they could dismantle and weaken the US. They needed to weaken US Hegemony they wanted to take power away from all the liberal democratic institutions, that not only chased their financial crimes, but that they feel like cost them money through environmental, safety and banking regulations

They made a plan to attack the US government but from the inside and strip our federal agencies that now had international reach because of cooperation that was originally setup to combat terrorism but was also affecting just business in general.

People like Elon Musk who has business with these oligarchs, it was Starlink that was allowing the Asian syndicates to operate all the call center scams that operated out of the autonomous regions in Asia Musk was providing the internet to those criminals

Also all the billionaires and even the sanctioned states, learned how to avoid a lot of banking regulations that were used not only to enforce US sanctions on trade but skirt money laundering reporting by using block chain currencies like Bitcoin, that is why the tech bros and Trump and many others are so heavily invested in those things. They have realized they can evade the regulations and laws that were in place that way

It all makes sense when you look at what is going on all over the world through that lens

Musk and his businesses like Space X and Tesla were also under investigation by many federal agencies. These oligarchs banded together with people from other interested countries, like those in the Middle East and even Israel to make sure that Trump got elected so that they could then follow through with their plans many outlined in Project 2025 to weaken all of our federal agencies including the Justice Department.

They are using the immigration issue as a front and a distraction so that all of our resource are focused on that while lots of other crimes no longer have the resources to be investigated.

This global cabal, helped to buy the Supreme Court to help them with their mission of weakening federal agencies

The federal government for too long was there to stand up and protect citizens instead of working for the billionaire oligarchs, but with Trump's second term all of that has changed. The corruption is so absolute that its right out in the open. The powerful oligarchs no longer care about hiding it because they have corrupted our political system to a point where its about impossible to stand up to them.

They have stacked our government against our own country and our citizens best interests.

This is what is going on non of these billionaires have any reason to worry about what happens to average or vulnerable citizens of the US or any other country they already control 90% of all wealth on the planet they will never be satisfied with the wealth and power that they held in the past they want it all and they want it now
