Baby, deep state has always wanted us dead and wanted our money and property.
I have been saying that to dear husband for years.
Their Father, the evil one taught them it’s all theirs, not ours. Deep state want it all and only want enough of us alive to slave for them.
We gotta forgive them and let Hell have them back.
It takes a lot of poor people to support a caste of elites. They don’t want US around at all, or as you say just enough to run the machines. Other than that it’s a middle class sandwich, the rich attack from above and ally with (pay) the proletariat to attack from below.
