Can their be much doubt that business interests are driving this foolish deal? Maybe business interests are influencing the GOPe to go along?
Number 37 in the list of communist goals for the USA from the Congressional Record back in 1963 is “Infiltrate and gain control of big business.” It would be folly to think that the communists actually were not hard at work at this even before 1963.
And as for the GOP (establishment mainly), goal number 15 is “Capture one—or both—of the political parties in the United States” (emphasis mine).
