Interesting that this relatively unknown character, whose ideology matches that of fellow billionaires Soros, Gates, Zuckerberg, et. al., is now publicized through the Deep State's house propaganda organ.

Wyoming near Jackson Hole is a redoubt for global elitists and US Govt officials. The billionaires think they are going to run the world from there. In reality they will be executed by the strongest guards who will call the shots and decide who will be the figurehead. Ref: Preatorian Guard of old Rome.

Treason, Foreign Interference and Election Theft is OK, if you're a Marxist Democrat.
