Article on the rerouted funds:

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just found nearly a billion dollars — $934 million to be exact — hidden deep in the Pentagon couch cushions. That money was supposed to fund Sentinel, a $77.7 billion modernization project for America’s aging nuclear missile system. Instead, it’s being rerouted to a classified project.

Parasites.

“Antiparasitic drugs are a group of medications used in the management and treatment of infections by parasites, including protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites.” ―Antiparasitic Drugs (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK544251/)

“Nematodes: These are also called roundworms and cause a variety of diseases in humans, which may be intestinal or may attack specific tissues directly.”

“Gastrointestinal nematode infections in humans are common, with approximately 50% of the global population being affected. Developing countries are most heavily impacted, in part due to lack of access to medical care.” ―https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nematode#Disease_in_humans

“Antihelminthic Agents
Anthelminthic drugs act against parasitic worms as either vermicides or vermifuges. Vermicides act by killing the worms, whereas vermifuges help expel the worms, usually in their live state. The ideal anthelminthic drug would have a broad therapeutic index to ensure it is more toxic to the parasitic worm than the host.”

We kill parasites in humans. What should we do with parasitic humans? Human parasites that definitely affect more than 50% of the global population? Was Luigi Mangione on to something?

“Trump described his attempt to seduce a married woman and indicated he might start kissing a woman that he and Bush were about to meet. He added, "I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything."” ―https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_Access_Hollywood_tape

PS I am not suicidal. I'm not homicidal. I dislike needless pain and suffering and commend actions that improve humanity in general.
