Great interview. I wonder what your views are on the following questions:
1.) Clearly the vast majority of the US public is unaware that there is an authoritarian takeover of the US going on right now, and the implications of that in the future. Should attempts be made to educate the public? If so, what mechanism and by whom do you feel is the best way to educate the public? Do you feel the inevitable gaslighting in response would do more damage and so it is best not to inflame things further?
2.) It seems in many areas people are being threatened; Judges, witnesses, reporters, congress members etc etc. Both physical and online. This is clearly Trump's m/o. Why is this not being discussed more? Why aren't there hearings in the House? Is the Russian mob behind this? Or is it random zealots responding to Trump's sochastic terrorism?

And, for both, it’s as bad as it gets. Cocaine, corruption, and bloody mob shit. So they’re stuck together. Don’t look for one to turn on the other. Unless drugs/alcohol/dementia takes over, and they burn each other down as they internally crumble

Organized crime—the real workings of it (not the movie versions)—is a very complex world, driven by a very simple motivator: money.
