    It will be incredibly incompetently pulled off. There’ll be a car bomb that will only result in the car catching fire because it turns out gasoline isn’t actually that explosive, or the bomb will detonate at midnight rather than midday because they don’t understand 24-hour clocks, it will not work at all because they got the instructions from Grok.

    They might just fake a bio weapons attack but the big problem with that is once it’s proven that it’s a fraud there won’t be any justification anymore. So they will need to do some actual damage to something.

      I’m sure there is enough money to be made to pay someone competent enough to act and keep quiet afterwards.

      An incident wouldn’t need to be big for an excuse to start the cancellations of elections.

        If you find somebody on their group capable of hiring somebody competent…

        Or keeping quiet about that hiring.

        Anyway, the GP is a huge throwback to the CIA intervention in Brazil in the 1960s. It’s almost a description of it. Or of the people asking them to intervene again nowadays.
