Maybe we could fool Xiden into nuking Switzerland, instead of Texas.

That's some first-rate clickbait excerpting there.

Swiss Billionaire Pumps Dark Money to Boost Democrats’ Election Wishlist
Liberal oligarch Hansjorg Wyss does not hold American citizenship but funds U.S elections

A Swiss billionaire is pumping staggering amounts of dark money into far-left American political groups who seek to push the Democrats’ radical wishlist for U.S. election policy.The powerful liberal oligarch has plowed millions into efforts to reform elections in the United States, yet most Americans have never even heard his name.Since 2016 alone, Hansjorg Wyss has invested at least $208 million in donations from his nonprofit and foundation into powerful leftwing organizations which seek to help elect Democrats and keep them in power through election reforms.Among the organizations Wyss is investing in is a powerful dark money group called the Sixteen Thirty Fund.

Wyss - a businessman from Switzerland who does not hold U.S. citizenship - has helped efforts to mandate automatic voter registration in Nevada, restore felons’ voting rights in Florida, redraw districts in Michigan, and more.According to a New York Times report on Wyss, between 2016 and 2020, the Wyss Foundation’s advocacy arm, the Berger Action Fund, gave more than $135 million to the progressive Sixteen Thirty Fund.

Closely related to Wyss and the Sixteen Thirty Fund is the Hub Project, a behind-the-scenes group helping progressives that is under the umbrella of the Sixteen Thirty Fund and New Venture Fund, another group that has received millions from the Wyss Foundation.The Wyss Foundation is one of the main donors of the Hub Project, which distributed funds from the Sixteen Thirty Fund to state-level groups ahead of the 2018 midterm elections that gave Democrats control of the House of Representatives, according to the New York Times.

Hansjoerg Wyss is a stereotypical internationalist of Jewish identity ....fulfilling all the worst protocols nightmares like Soros

Yet I looked at his endeavors.....he does nothing for Israel and likely donates against the State of Israel

Like Soros...a particular type of scumbag

However in Switzerland there is always the Blocher family....3-4 times the worth of Wyss and they are conservative

And take serious hits over their prominence including riots in cities directed at them

Switzerland is like here

Blue central cities and mostly red state cantons

The Swiss have a from-the-beginning habit of hiding evil and doing making a very good profit off of hiding evil.

Never have they actually done anything ‘good,’ for anyone other than themselves.

They’ve literally let the world burn while making money beyond measure.

They are more dangerous to the average American citizen than our Deep State is to us, believe it, or not.
