Archive article: https://archive.is/SyLKE a 2019 GOP strategy meeting in the small town of Rockbridge, Ohio, attended by billionaires and media personalities including former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, hedge fund manager Rebekah Mercer, and economist Oren Cass. The attendees formed the “Rockbridge Network,” a GOP strategy network helmed by conservative venture capitalist Chris Buskirk, whose aim is to build a MAGA movement that outlasts Donald Trump by letting business leaders shape American policy.
Isn’t this the premise of Continuum without the time travel?
Did all these conservatives sleep through US history class?
Of course they didn’t, but they’re willing to sacrifice core American values in the name of hate. They want to kill the LGBT population because a book said to (it wouldn’t even be a sin to them) and they might not get into heaven if they don’t, kill immigrants because they’re afraid, and kill minorities because they’re aggrieved.

It’s not secret.
Oh so the Business Plot all over again, huh?
Might be more Wannsee depending on what their plan is
Although no one was prosecuted, the congressional committee final report said, “there is no question that these attempts were discussed, were planned, and might have been placed in execution when and if the financial backers deemed it expedient.”
Damn, I simply can’t imagine why these things keep happening…
I’ve read a lot about this incident. The bottom line is it was going to be too embarrassing to the US government and corporate interests and so the business leaders likely received a stern talking to behind closed doors to never attempt anything like this again or else bad things would happen to them (presumably family names ruined, contracts canceled, etc.). A deal that, in fairness, they appeared to honor afterward.
One of them was literally a Bush
That’s actually a misconception that I believed for quite a while as well, because it was reported as fact in the mid 2000s by the BBC (I even saved the original report back in the day).
But Butler never reported Prescott Bush as a conspirator, to our knowledge (at least not publicly, which is all we have to work with). The only reason Bush’s name came up at all in the report was because he and his firm were being investigated separately by the same congressional committee because of deep business ties to the Nazis, and it was around the same time. But basically, Bush was too busy making money by working with the Nazis at the time to be involved with the plot.
Quite a lot of American industry at the time was working with the Reich, because many business leaders supported Hitler. Once America formally entered the war, doing business with Germany became illegal and any remaining fascist sympathies instantly became socially verboten.
Meanwhile the US is throwing money and contracts at Peter Thiel after he said openly he is hostile to the state and wants to destroy America. When the dollar becomes worthless, what is he going to draw his power from?
Bitcoins!
Just don’t tell them how bitcoins have value…
At this point I dont know what would be better, if the dollar failed or if crypto failed. Ultimately, it will be both at the same time.
It’s
THE DEEP STATE!nothing!-Republicans!
Every accusation is a confession.
The Derp State.
Can we just do the thing we’re not supposed to say out loud? In Minecraft or whatever.
Do they refer to it as their Thousand-Year Reich or is that just its unofficial name?
It’s not a fucking secret
Wasn’t corporatism a core principle in Mussolini’s brand of fascism?
Secret?
They’ve been fucking shouting it for years while fucking retards replied with ‘both sides’, silence or outright cheers in the case of the bigots.
It’s a good thing JD Vance is such a massive dork that not even Republicans like him
I’ll be shocked if any of them can harness MAGA, they are all uncharismatic unlikable twerps
I think their goal is to tear everything down so the people are forced to rely on them for food, medicine, everything. True feudal state situation. Voting and personality are not needed with that mindset.
The rubes have already served their purpose. Now is the time to dismantle the mechanisms that would remove them from power, so they can just stay on and laugh at our impotence to do anything about it.
“Our impotence to do anything about it,” say the people who have tried literally nothing
