33. Genocide is a program to intentionally eliminate a distinct group of people by various means.

Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups.

The plan is to attack by any means and incarcerate, reduce or eliminate those who either represent opposition to or cultural difference from the ruling theocratic kleptocracy now controlling the White House, the Cabinet and Congress. This was always the plan. "They" spent much of the last 50 years trying to undo the New Deal, the Great Society and the Civil Rights Movement and to subvert or remove the institutions and laws generated by and in response to those programs.
