    Oh fuck of course! I knew this shit was coming. This is exactly what happened in Russia.

    Not a surprise bc the heritage foundation was behind that shit too

    1989: A Republican in Moscow

    1991: Russia House, Trading in Its Name

    Paul Weyrich was the co founder of Heritage. One minute he was in Moscow teaching dissidents about holding elections and sneaking in computers and fax machines.

    The next the Soviet Union had collapsed and the Heritage Foundation had helped create the first of its kind go between for U.S. and Russia business as Russia embraced “capitalism.”

        Yeah but it’s not just Heritage. The offshoots that sprang from Heritage are like the entirety of the current Republican party.

        Like that guy Paul Weyrich died in his 50s, but he helped create so much shit over his relatively short career. He also founded the Free Congress Foundation and the Council for National Policy, which is like the most shadowy organization of right wing extremists and business men. Somebody wrote a book about it a few years ago, Shadow Network

        This isn’t even his complete list of political affiliations
