Most of this was done by the Russians to destabilize America:

"Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists" to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present-day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics"."

I think about what the Dutch did to the De Witt brothers for selling out their territory to the enemy. They were hung upside down with broken legs, sliced up. stabbed, fingers and toes cut off, faces cut off, genitals cut off, then disemboweled them alive.

I personally prefer the big bagel slicer option but to each their own.

"When you decide to be something, you can be it. That's what they don't tell you in the church. When I was your age they would say we can become cops, or criminals. Today, what I'm saying to you is this: when you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?"

I 100% agree, but what makes me scratch my noggin' is the fact that people in London finance have (jokingly?) nicknamed the City of London as "Londongrad" because there's so much Russian money. Makes it feel like the entire 1% is a Russian asset, which can't be right.

Maybe if we peacefully occupy some sidewalk that these oligarchs never walk on for another 40 years, that'll teach them!

It's almost as though Democrats are beholden to the same corporate sponsors/donors as the Republicans or something.

What about the £36 trillion in offshore tax havens as of 2016 which is probably much bigger now. That's not tied up into assets, that's liquid like a Well of Souls.

I only agree with the last 7 words, hard disagree with everything before that tho.

Yeah it's fucking wild the efforts they go through. Even if it's as discreet as a walk-by in a parking garage with a suppressed pistol or strangled in a car, there will be at least 10 people doing different jobs with zero knowledge of what the others are doing or what the end goal is, all doing a very simple task that any normal person could do with probable ignorance. Real life examples of how the mafia do hits are really intricate: You pay one guy to flatten a tire, you pay another guy to drive the tow truck, you pay another guy to ask them for directions to delay them a bit, you pay another guy to be an uber or taxi driver, you pay another guy to receive where the taxi/uber is going, this is all after paying probably a few other dudes to study their schedule and the schedule of their visitors/guests, pay another dude to get keep their neighbor or something distracted, pay another dude to take the shot and dip (source: I know a guy who knows a guy who knows another guy). It's very expensive and time consuming, that's why organized hits don't happen a lot it's gotta be worth the investment. This would be much harder to pull off against someone with 24/7 secret service guard, but the CIA/FBI/Police are pros at pulling shit off like this.

And the competent ones (as in the ones with experience at creation local militias and terrorist organizations) are gonna be out there creating the resistance.

If... Let's say if... It'll take some planning, they wouldn't just do it willy nilly they gotta plan the hit, find the right assets, find the right areas, research, etc. it takes a lot of work to whack somebody it's not like The Sopranos or anything.
