Probably the people who were terrified of the consequences of a Trump victory. The whole operation reminds me of the classic thriller plot where multiple people have been randomly murdered, until it turns out only one of them was the intended target, the rest just to hide the real motive. By replacing votes with ballots the fortification process was in place to select the corrupt puppet Biden and Obama’s Third term could try to repair the damage to ‘The Plan’ the last four years of delay had caused.
The dislocation to the world economy, transfer of wealth to corporations and enrichment of the billionaires all added bonuses, hidden by the manufactured panic and ridiculous pseudo-scientific measures enacted. Overnight many people were seemingly transformed and transported into a medieval mindset, locked in their homes, fearful of human contact and quite prepared to sacrifice the well being of the future generation to ease their neuroticism. One of the blackest periods of my life, that really tried and tested my belief in the inherent decency of people.

Friend, try to imagine for a moment that the sort of people who support and enable genocide aren’t particularly worried about war crimes.

LoveDonBass: There are certainly many honest hardworking & brainwashed U.S. gov’t employees & contractors, who don’t realize they are supporting Genocide by supporting Biden. Most people are emotionally oriented & can’t see the relevant facts (like a mentally focused person does). Many good people view international conflict in the same way they view sports events–> their team vs the other. They should be warned!
They should be warned & encouraged to think about possible consequences of their actions, and that saying “I was only following orders” is NO excuse.
Perhaps it would behoove them to be less concerned about their careers, and MORE concerned about going to prison. Perhaps some will chose to gather evidence against their superiors, find good lawyers to negotiate plea deals. Back in Hitler’s days when millions were brainwashed with Big Lies, apparently very few if any of them ever imagined being defeated, much less being charged for crimes against humanity.
Western leaders are having mental illness crises now. Many of the traitors are living in denial of the facts that make reality. Perhaps many worry about what AIPAC might do to hurt them & their prestigious careers, oblivious to the fact that their cities, offices & homes could become rubble over night – because of their extensively documented, extremely insane, barbaric behavior.
They’y like drunks who are bottoming out now. They’re at the bottom of the staircase, with fresh blood of thousands of children & non-combatants on their hands, and the whole world is watching!

There is a difference between the karma of aggression & that of defense…. Aggressors suffer the most grievous consequences…
