The power of Gatekeepers and SpAds

We still recall Cummings within n10, the most notorious in the U.S. were Colonel House (see origins of The Fed), Kissinger, Haldemann, Cheney … Fink is the latest within n10.

Now there are Wiles, Pammy and a host of other lesser SpAds.  Laura L seems DJT’s perceived lifeline:

Whose negligence was it (a question also for Hancock over here)?  Was it the boss’s, as with Wilson, Roosevelt, Hoover, LBJ, Clinton, the Bushes and so on?  Or was it their gatekeepers, themselves in thrall to powerful interests (the Dulles Bros spring to mind here)?  How about Nuland?

Is any pollie only his “influencers” when all is said and done? How about Chas 1 in 1642?

And blights and other horrors … how preventable, due to lies, were Polio, AIDS, BSE, Bird Flu, Covid?  Did anyone suffer as a result of those lies?
