The Atlantic: Not only are individual agencies being breached, but the information they hold is being pooled together. The question is Why? And what does the administration intend to do with it?

This is a very important piece. If Big Brother makes you nervous, don't read this before bedtime.

Depending on your age and health, you will either be a slave or be exterminated its that simple.
I remember hearing on SiriusXM progressive maybe a month ago that somewhere in the 600 to 700 pages of the project 2025, theres a whole section on humane extermination which simply intends to cut off all money and services to older folks so that theyre tossed out onto the street, cant pay their phone bill so cannot contact anyone, no Social Security to buy food or shelter, and just a daily round up of the dead bodies on the sidewalks. Im not even kidding I wish I wouldve saved what the page number was or whatever that guy was talking about, but he was a legitimate guest I think was on Michael Signorelli show.
