Introduction

The name Red Hornet was inspired by a collective formed in the early 1970s in the Charlotte, NC area to protest pro-war foreign policy. Attempts were made to protest at events featuring Richard Nixon and Billy Graham. The FBI infiltrated Red Hornet (Cointelpro). Veterans Against the War (Vietnam) and allies (operating around Davidson College) founded Red Hornet. Charlotte has a mythology of having been the Hornet's Nest and issuing a Declaration prior to the American Revolution, so that allusion inspired the collective. Constitutionally based law suits resulted from official and police actions to pre-empt and curtail civil rights of Red Hornet protestors, and decisions were rendered 
to penalize authorities.

She theorizes that a massive piece of social psychology has gone missing but this exclusion is common to all of social and medical science. Richard hopes to expand the boundaries of his heterodox economic focus to increase understanding of the revolutionary possibilities of crisis. I've been at this for decades myself as a participant observer of culture(s)...

Internal Sabotage

The Trump Administration seems to be sabotaging testing and refusing to fund states or conduct tests on the Federal level. Why the sabotage even as they encourage reopening against their own guidelines? What are some possible motives? 1. To derail or delay national elections in November, to gain advantage or as prelude to a coup. 2. To bankrupt states and make them discredited entities which can be flushed (10 or 15 times, he says) down the toilet. States might still exist but be like bankrupt cities (Detroit, Baltimore) are now, with Republican majority states receiving favor. 3. To prevent research that might suggest Covid19 originated in the USA, was weaponized and taken to China, and other nations, or was irresponsibly managed biological warfare research. Maybe readers can discern other reasons or motives. I'd like to see an effective and safe vaccine ASAP.
