Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Going after the treasury secretary is so silly because it's such a niche job. What did the fucking incumbent treasury guy do to you? It's not even something funny like red day on the stock market -> blame the SEC. I'm sure if Trump likes him he's a ghoul, so his hobby is probably liquidating babies to make Legos, but I'd have to google "what does a treasury secretary do?"
bessent was the architect of the 97 asian financial crisis acting through soros, many geopolitical analysts in china consider him to be the main 'antagonist' within the trump admin and many believe him to have a bone to pick with china as it was hong kong and the chinese government by proxy that put down his rampage almost 30 years ago
Looks like he was just after whoever in the Trump admin.
"initially planning to kill Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and/or House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., a police affidavit said.
But English shifted his target to Bessent after stopping at a library in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and reading that the Senate was voting Monday on Bessent’s nomination as President Donald Trump’s Treasury chief, the document said."
Who stops in the middle of their assassination to go to a public library and read the news? And upon reading said news, changes their plan and target?
We're really dealing with some Level 1 Adventurers here. Starting zone shit
There's a whole class of libertarian, monetary policy-obsessed people who hate the Treasury and the Fed something fierce. And when you ask them about it they go on these Marxist-length rants, and there's always something about Bretton-Woods, gold, and crypto for some reason.
