Summary

The Republican National Committee (RNC) allegedly hid a cyberattack by Chinese hackers from the FBI to avoid negative press during Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign.

According to journalist Alex Isenstadt’s upcoming book, Revenge, Microsoft alerted the RNC to the breach, which targeted GOP views on China-Taiwan relations.

The hack coincided with an Iranian-linked attack on Trump’s campaign. While China denies involvement, intelligence officials warn such breaches are common in U.S. elections.

The RNC and the White House have not commented on the allegations.

    Picture if you will; a large government where checks and balances are out the window. A 2 party system co opted by a single force, where both sides are working towards a common goal, but they mask it with temporary solutions, they do this to keep the general populace too worried about paying bills than to concern themselves with something that doesn’t really impact them like government corruption. Within this system you have pillars of control, the police, militias, and military. The single entity deeply entwined with both political parties is feeding select agents into police forces, militias, and any military unit they can get assigned to. They do this to identify like minded individuals, individuals vulnerable to becoming an agent, and individuals that stand in the way. They plan over decades and decades making tiny advancements whenever the chance arises, a lever with constant pressure that takes any extra room available. The single entities end goal being to subvert the government, pass a single law, or series of laws with convoluted wording, and install some form of social system that kept just enough people comfortable that there isn’t enough rocking the boat, and installs themselves as either shadow, or public defacto leader. They need large number of police on their side to quell potential rioting, and military to keep allies at bay while the power transfer is completed. They have just been looking for the right person to force their hand long enough they feel complicit, and go along in the form of becoming an officially elected emperor, or empress. What would that look like? One party throwing siege hiels, while the other forces out a career politician to force in a district attorney that does what she’s told? Or would it look like white police brutalizing black people as a way of identifying who is safe to keep around? Would it look like supreme court justices granting themselves immunity to bribery? Or the same supreme court granting the president the power to do whatever so long as the president claims it was done for the country? Emperor Napoleon style. Can you picture it? What would it look like to you?
