It occurs to me to comment that a key aim of leftist indoctrination, as funded and supported by nations like China and Cuba, has to be to make betrayal and treason much easier for Americans in positions of trust. Particularly if the money and favors are good, how guilty can anyone feel selling out what they have been carefully trained to believe is a wicked and unjust nation?
And obviously an element in this—what might be termed meta-indoctrination—is teaching people to despise principle based reasoning, because the only real alternative, socially, is obedience to authority, which may be a mob, a dictator, a Party or a handler. Or whim, which can never achieve social relevance.
We are being sold out at all levels of government. It could well be that giving the Chinese access to our technology was part of the deal by which they enabled Joe’s people to cheat his body, if not his mind, to the top.
What if that advanced fighter was dropped into the ocean on purpose and a Chinese submarine was waiting for it?
This is the rough ballpark from which reasonable people should see our current situation, in my view.
That we are being betrayed is one of the few certainties I have.
