Well Sir (or Lady or something else) Nexta
Exterminate is appropriate in my case, as I was treated like vermin from Mrs Fox the First, and it applied to the next Mrs Fox as she wanted to actually exterminate me, well deserved in fact.
The current Mrs Fox would never seek extermination as she has me under total control, the hypnosis sessions worked well, and I do quack like a duck for her, or so I am told.
To be honest, I only continued to get married as I like parties.

Geez, it’s really like watching the Nazi govt repeating again when they were burning books and clamping down on dissenting voices.

The Smithsonian is a world treasure. This is depressing AF. Hitler and Mussolini would be proud. Could someone remind me how it ended for them.

It now seems that transparency may be too woke in regard to disclosure of financial interests.
US Treasury has now removed the reporting requirements of beneficial ownership by US companies and persons, as well as narrowing the scope of reporting by foreign companies.
It’s being presented as cutting red tape in the application of the Transparency Act.

So, its now open slather …
Indeed we’re well into wild west country with zero oversight of who is investing, how and potentially why in U.S Inc.
Another brick in the wall.

Another big law firm, Wilmer Hale, blackballed. Additionally, the removal of security clearances of two principals reduces its capacity to obtain evidence and litigate.
It also limits the scope of the judiciary to hear cases with the full relevant evidence.

Yeah this their angle, and it is effective, to go after the most effective constraint they face
They can’t really touch the judges, but they can make it hard for the lawyers if they take on a case they don’t like.

Yep, they’re straight up undermining every possible “checks and balances” factor in the system that they can. Pressuring judges, blackmailing law firms, dismantling oversight.
This is the road to totalitarianism. How far they travel down it remains to be seen. But it’s real, despite what some want to pretend.

Just imagine the reaction from the Trump / Libs supporters in the Aus politics thread if this was the Albanese government doing this ■■■■.

Waiting for the US to have its der Spiegel moment.
In the sixties, in the fragile Federal Republic of Germany, a Defence Minister jailed a journalist without going through a judicial procedure. The Defence Minister invoked national security powers in the Cold War, after der Spiegal exposed the FRG’s incapacity to defend itself against Soviet Russia.
The judge ruled that the journalist was unlawfully jailed because of the Defence Minister’s unlawful assumption of authority. The Adenauer Government survived the scandal.
Currently journalists in Germany are muzzled in reporting on Middle East conflicts involving Israel due to laws on antisemitism.
