Thank you @oatmeal for making the connection.
If you want to understand the current state of the U.S. administration, then you should be aware of what TESCREAL means.
TESCREAL was coined by Timnit Gebru, it stands for: Transhumanism, Extropianism, Singularitarianism, (modern) Cosmism, Rationalists and Longtermism. It can best be described as a technology and AI infused pagan religion.

The type of reasoning that comes out of it, and I am paraphrasing here, is like : "It is o.k. to starve 10 million people now, if that means we can send 15 million people with that money to Mars later."
"Longtermism is eugenics under a different name," Timnit Gebru wrote on X. And that is just the 'L', combined with the 'E'.
If you want to understand the connection between the cutting of U.S. AID and the genocide in Gaza, then understanding TESCREAL is key.

TESCREAL sounds outlandish. And read this reply by the Vatican after Peter Thiel went to Rome to redefine the antichirst. Note that this is an automatic translation that gets wobbly at around 80% in. The original is in French.

The cutting of US aid, driven by TESCREAL, and Gaza, adds the mass killing dimension to the current U.S. administration; rounding the fascist circle. And #ICE
#EU By condoning these actions, we are part it. And way deeper than as Demsond Tutu said: If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.
Compared to this all, the US allegiance to Russia seems a walk in the park.
TESCREAL is the Duginism of the US. Thiel is the backer of J.D. Vance.

The U.S. president has just been riding the waves of Russian and tech-mogul cash, unbothered by what Duginism and #tescreal stand for.
In line with ad-tech and social-media, #ai has the potential to further colonize the mind, as it is being heralded by some tech-bros almost as the second coming.

@mirabilos Reasonable point probably.
I am not a Christian myself, so I have do not have a strong opinion on that.
This is probably not fair on paganism.
And I cannot be everywhere for everybody at the same time.
Point is, that there is coup in progress under the guise of Christianity, of which the Vatican says it is not christian at all.
