The Plot Against America

The Coming Alliance Between Billionaires, Tech Giants, and MAGA-Ideologues

May 31st, 2024 should be viewed as a pivotal date for the Biden administration. The largest story of the day was undoubtedly Donald Trump’s 34 felony convictions in connection to his wider effort to steal the 2016 election. This has presented a major challenge to Trump’s presidential campaign and in an ideal society should be enough to disqualify him from running. Additionally, on Friday, May 31st it was confirmed that the White House gave Ukrainian forces approval to strike military targets within the Russian Federation using weapons supplied by the United States. This news comes after weeks of increased Russian military activity directed at the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv and should allow Kyiv to push Russian supply lines further back.

However, a story that flew under the radar for much of the American public is Ken Silverstein’s recent piece in The New Republic covering “Off Leash” - a WhatsApp group created and managed by Blackwater founder Erik Prince. Roughly 400 individuals in government, tech, and the wider network of right-wing thinkers and pundits plot against the “Biden Regime,” “globalists,” and liberal democracy as a whole. Participants reportedly include Tucker Carlson, Congressman Mark Green, and a Romanian mercenary named Horatiu Potra who is active in the civil conflict within the Democratic Republic of Congo.
