It seems he doesn't mind being a tool so long as he can gain power and money. He doesn't appear to think twice about selling us to maintain his power and his party's power.

Thank you for the heads-up, triron!

If there is justice, Moscow Mitch will have some explaining to do in court.

13. Newsweek's article here got me thinking maybe this is about globalists and fifth column stuff.

Let's say Mitch McConnell is an unregistered foreign agent, maybe just a useful idiot. But maybe it's more than that.

There are the other players in this so-called aluminum company buildout:

...Braidy Industries Inc., a U.S. base holding company which owns both Veloxint, an MIT-incubated lightweighting solutions company, and NanoAl, a Northwestern University incubated materials research and technology company, announce an intent to establish a joint project in Ashland, Kentucky, USA...


...British Lord Gregory Barker ... filed a letter under the Foreign Agents Registration Act describing how "the Barker plan permanently removed Oleg Deripaska from control" of his companies EN+ and Rusal. Barker is the executive chairman of Rusal and its parent company EN+." Hmmm.


Ashland, OH (note one industrial drone shot in googlemaps), is one of those near-empty industrial towns along the Ohio River, facing the West VA border.

To believe all these likely stories and the company press release that they're just building an aluminum plant
(not retrofitting other plants,
not usingPutin's own VTB bank,
not involving Brit Lord Greg Barker,
and Northwestern's and MIT's tech folks) is to carry on.

Newsweek is inviting the public to not believe there's nothing to see there.

At worst it's a complex fifth column for globalists that's been in the works for years, and is waay more than it seems.
