  1. Nothing new here...except that you can SEE it while it's happening. It's been a long haul from "blissful ignorance" to "eyes open", at least 100 years...and "blissful ignorance" is mounting a strong come-back push! "Weaponizing" sounds newly evil, but, in politics, the outside never matches the inside; internal operations have always been, how shall we say, "familiar", relying on personal relationships, and the antipathies that result. The system has always been corruptible, and almost always corrupted. It's just that the appearance of this truth has never been so obvious! So, you tend to think it's something new...it's not; it's endemic to the system. Any system design that depends on human operators will fail--guaranteed. "Fail-safe" requires massive redundancy, which human beings strive to eliminate as inefficient. It's a little like a "death wish"...isn't it...oh, well...
