This list is bad enough without waiting for the FEC.

Hitler wouldn’t have “succeeded” without the help of German Industrial leaders. They were chasing contracts and favor. Just like today. It stinks.

Interesting point, Mike. I’m going to look into those parallels.

Imagine if just a couple of those CEOs intended to be a positive influence on Trump and had the skills to convince him to abandon his autocratic ambitions. But alas, they’re all mercenaries for personal gain and a coveted position on the team of middle class suppressing oligarchs.

What is this inauguration fund? Didn’t Melania get in trouble for it last time? Money laundering?

I hope you have/will consider it. Your substack is excellent and we need strong writers who understand the historical context of these events to memorialize them in real time. Our kids/grandkids, etc. deserve access to unfiltered history to understand parallels between the economic desperation in America today and similar events in an economically desperate Germany, Czarist Russia, pre-Maoist China, and for that matter, pre-revolutionary France and the Robber Baron era in the U.S. I expect to see a series of surface-level throwaway books containing themes no deeper than what can be captured in a 5 minute “news” program. You can give us much better. Thanks for what you are doing here. j.f.

Sickening. Absolutely sickening.

My only consolation is that I don’t purchase or use products from many on this list. I even checked the two meds I take and neither are from the two mentioned.
