Each of these regulatory processes, policies and constructs, creates an office within the U.S. government for regulatory enforcement and compliance.

Each treaty, convention and organization creates a bureaucracy within the U.S. govt to comply with them.

That bureaucracy expands govt spending far beyond the initial costs. i.e. annual membership fees, association fees, and internal agreement payments for each participating govt.

But wait, it gets worse....

Each agency within govt then has to create a subsidiary office for their specific compliance with the larger network. So, you have a DC govt compliance system, and an agency compliance system that is topic specific to that particular agency.

The 1992 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change as an example, means every single agency from HHS to DOD to FEMA to DHS to the entire apparatus of govt, all of them, need to have a corresponding office to create agency specific rules that comply with the originating charter.

You can see it's not just the Federal Govt paying the U.N a membership fee for the Framework Convention on Climate Change, but each agency within govt then has to pay an office staff filled with lawyers, compliance officers, and bureaucratic nonsense teams that carry out the charter.

Each of the 66 outlined "agreements" can end up generating hundreds or thousands of federal employees that are tasked with U.S. administration of the agreement.

Each of those federal employees has an expense account, credit card, vehicle, or voucher method, some form of indulgency, that connects them to the larger spending graft.

What Trump has done is a much bigger detonation than most will initially contemplate.

Thousands of well-connected DC employees, wives of politicians, brothers, sisters, in-laws, friends and family members, will now lose their income streams.

Amid an almost complete nationwide internet blackout in Iran, and following a request relayed by Israeli Deputy Minister Almog Cohen through businessman Dovi Frances, Elon Musk enabled free Starlink internet access across the country without issuing a formal public announcement.

Musk also committed to keeping the network active in an effort to prevent Iranian authorities from disrupting connectivity.
