As I stated earlier, this appears to be an all out move to block any exposure of DS corruption. One presumes counter measures are in place.
Any good commie revolution has to stop communications. DH told me that in communist Poland people had to wait months to get a phone, and to get a typewriter you had to apply, go through hoops, they had to know your name, and still a long, long wait. He used to help some guy who wrote up “subersive” newsletters, by delivering or passing them out in some way. DH wasn’t a big player or anything. He knows the evils of communism and tyranny. His father was enslaved by the Nazis. He heard stories.
He is taking this ultra seriously.
