And so a message has to be sent now.
It should have been sent six or seven years ago.
Because if this field reaches full maturity, it will become a lobbying arm as powerful as the military industrial complex itself, where you need war, or else how are you going to afford private school?
Yes, yes, on many aspects of it.
Who's helping you?
Who are the good guys?
You know, what I would say is,
places like House Weaponization and House Oversight and House Homeland Security have done very good, honest efforts within their own secular fiefdoms about abuses from DHS or the National Science Foundation or whatnot.
They've done... Now, weaponization is a very, very noble committee.
You know, it was set up to...
from what I've heard, is sort of a church committee 2.0, abuses by the government.
But that was the church committee in 1975, 1976, went after the CIA, the FBI, the NSA, and the IRS.
Those are the four main.
But it was mostly set up because the CIA was busted doing things like infiltrating left-wing student movements to stop the domestic anti-war movement.
That's exactly what's happening right now on the other side of the political aisle.
It was left-wing populists who the CIA and the Pentagon and the State Department wanted to quell because they were undermining Vietnam War funding.
They were changing the minds of representatives who were getting skittish on the Vietnam War.
And so in order to avoid losing the political domain of war,
We subverted those political populist factions from the left wing who undermined that war effort.
And now this is just happening from the other side of the equation.
