The wealthy need that money WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE WEALTHY šš
Remember, any time you see people talking about "the economy", just replace that with "rich people's yacht money" and things will start making more sense.
They want a pandemic. All of the things they have done so far regarding public health can only be explained that way as far as I can tell.
Pandemics means market drops and supply chain interruptions, which destroys a bunch of value, which means the currently-wealthy can buy up the rest of the world at fire sale prices and price gouge for what's left.
Ten richest men in the world doubled their wealth to 1.5tn during covid. They want to repeat that. Millions dead is a minor side effect they don't care about.
I was saying that just this morning myself. He told the CDC that they are not allowed to have any contact with the WHO at all even while we're still officially a part of it for the next year.
That can only be a desire for another pandemic.
So it's concentration camps. They'll soon make them work themselves to death.
No, these camps are outside the USA. The concentration camps are domestic.
I've seen somewhere that work makes you free so making the refugees work would be a good thing!
I can't remember where I saw that though...
Why does my gut feeling tell me this is breaking some international laws? Not that anything will be done, just saying this reeks of illegal.
It's straight up genocide.
"International Law" is much different thing from normal law. There is no real enforcement mechanism, so it's very much a case of "might makes right". In this particular case, it sounds like Trump pulled funding, which is not the same as shutting it down, even if the effect on the refugees is the same.
Now I see what MAGA stands for. Make America (a) Great Asshole.
Make America Geriatric Autocracy
A very Donald Trump thing to do.
Now hold my beer for a sec, but isn't the IRC a NGO?
Literally the third paragraph, and they are short paragraphs.
The IRC gets about half of its funding from the US government and part of its work is to help resettle refugees in the US.
If you keep reading...
As a result of the IRCās suspension of healthcare, hospitals in the refugee camps have had to discharge all their patients except for emergency cases and stop seeing outpatients, according to healthcare officials working in the camps.
So now they're death camps. Thanks asshole.
