Political murder is a feature of all countries where extremists are working to help a killer take over. I've been predicting it here for ten years since the main demagogue announced his intentions and his insects began crawling out from under their rocks. It was a feature in Europe in the 1930s and it not only helped the protagonists by removing troublesome resisters but it also traumatised the general public to the extent that they'd vote for anyone who promised the most persuasively to restore law & order. A facially deniable feature of the Putin regime too. It also normalizes political violence thus enabling the murdering side to blame similar false flag events on the other side. Stochastic is also the wrong, misleading term to describe political violence where freaks are manipulated by their side's disinfo propaganda to act on their own.

Erik Prince has been on the hazy part of the perimeter of radical right wing politics since he left the US Military. He, like Hegseth, claims his actions are informed by a strong Christian faith, and like Hegseth, the so-called faith is just a tool to give him entre, church cred, and justification for being in places where he doesn't belong and doing things outside the law. He should be surveiled at all times.
