Elon Musk is Doing What Eric Holder Dreamed of Doing

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Everything we see unfolding, from the Tech Bro alignment with Trump, to the network of influence after the election, to the selection and advisement of specific individuals to join the administration, all the way to the first-round expose’ of USAID, should be looked upon with a background forecast.

(1) gaining access to govt data was the goal; (2) monetizing the system with proprietary AI contracts (vis-a-vis Palantir) is the benefit; (3) however, a national security justified surveillance state is going to be the outcome.

As people are shocked at the USAID spending scandal unfolding, I would posit the USAID silo was chosen first for DOGE exploration specifically because the subsequent outrage would gain the highest amount of public support for the pending solution. It’s the pending solution to the crisis that we should be very focused on.

Their solution will never be about US, it will always be about THEM; what’s in their best interests. That’s their focus, not us, them.

Failing to STOP after crisis in the past always ended up with acceptance of their solution. Now we take off our shoes at the airport, go through body scans, accept pat-downs, wear masks, accept sketchy vaccines, click yes on 5,000-word terms of service for privacy statements we never read, align ourselves with Real ID, and generally accept the all-encompassing surveillance state; none of which is grounded upon liberty or freedom. It’s all based on govt control.

Yes, as poked by Musk the govt is in crisis, and just as sure as you are reading this the administrators within govt already have the solution ready to roll.

“We will use advanced technology and non-partisan AI programming, to make the government more efficient and ensure this level of corruption and wasteful spending never happens again.”  That’s the selling point.

Every dollar will be tracked, monitored and oversight will be transparent and available for everyone to see. Just ignore the part where the same efficiency system is monitoring your real ID, connecting your personage to the new govt and private sector interfaces, and click “I agree” on your next federal tax filing.

Trust us Comrade citizen, the new technologically advanced DODGE approved govt system cares about responsible stewardship and you. Swear.”

I honestly do not see any way out of this. The tech is too powerful and easy to implement. The dystopian side of this is a horror show. The utopian side might be good, even very good — no crime, smooth bureaucracy, better information everywhere. It looks like a reverse-Q plot. Robots doing all the work. Some hope may be higher IQs through digital babies leading to elites becoming bored with cruelty. Having total verifiable control of everyone is the ultimate KOBK move. KOBK has always ruled the earth. There is no reason to believe it will stop now. Can the same tech further evolved produce a wise hegemon, a benevolent dictator? ABN

US Department of Education refers Maine to Justice Department after AG’s Office rejects resolution on Title IX Violations

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

As the deadline set in a letter of impasse the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights had sent to Maine state officials two weeks ago drew down to its final hours, Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey’s office issued a response saying the state would neither sign a resolution agreement nor propose an alternative, setting into motion a referral to the U.S. Department of Justice.

“Nothing in Title IX or its implementing regulation prohibits schools from allowing transgender girls and women to participate on girls’ and women’s sports teams,” Maine Assistant Attorney General Sarah Forster wrote to the regional director of the U.S. DOE’s Office of Civil Rights. Her letter chided the federal agency for wrongly interpreting the statute and added that the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution also justified Maine’s policy — in direct defiance of the federal instruction.

That letter prompted a fast response from the DoE’s civil rights office:

“Accordingly, OCR has determined compliance cannot be secured by informal or voluntary means,” it wrote, adding: “OCR now refers this matter to the Department of Justice with a recommendation for appropriate proceedings to enforce all legally available remedies.”

The response to Maine’s attorney general went on to notify the state that it is “initiating administrative proceedings to suspend, terminate, defer final approval, and/or refuse to grant or continue Federal financial assistance to the MDOE.

DOSSIER: THE SIGNAL THEY WON’T NAME – Inside the Tier 1 Blueprint for a Silent $500 Trillion Reset as Global Financial Realignment Is Already in Motion

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The Core Intel: This Isn’t About War — It’s About Wealth Repositioning

Contrary to what mainstream optics would suggest, the world is not posturing for military confrontation. What we are witnessing — veiled by carefully orchestrated trade disputes and escalating tariff negotiations — is not an arms race, but an accounting maneuver.

The tariffs, framed publicly as retaliatory trade measures, appear instead to be calculated economic veils, meant to provide political and legal justification for the sudden, seamless reintroduction of previously quarantined capital back into the global system.

The message identifies the real operation: over $500 trillion in blocked, suppressed, or otherwise hidden assets is now being mobilized.

But not haphazardly. It’s being reintroduced through mechanisms built for transparency — or at least the appearance of it — structured to pass audits, to be explainable to the public, and most importantly, to avoid sparking panic or speculation. In essence, the world isn’t being told the truth — it’s being given the optical illusion of “economic victory” through hardline trade reform, while a suppressed planetary wealth structure is quietly being activated behind the curtain.

This is speculative, unsourced but making the rounds in the shadows and intriguing. Lots of salt with this but a fun read. I do see a day when greed and vengeance become passe, uncool, nobody goes there anymore. Maybe it is coming sooner than we imagine. ABN

Amy Coney Barrett never divulged her membership in a small, tightly knit Christian group called People of Praise

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Ms. Barrett told the senators that she was a faithful Catholic, and that her religious beliefs would not affect her decisions as an appellate judge. But her membership in a small, tightly knit Christian group called People of Praise never came up at the hearing, and might have led to even more intense questioning.

Some of the group’s practices would surprise many faithful Catholics. Members of the group swear a lifelong oath of loyalty, called a covenant, to one another, and are assigned and are accountable to a personal adviser, called a “head” for men and a “handmaid” for women. The group teaches that husbands are the heads of their wives and should take authority over the family.

Current and former members say that the heads and handmaids give direction on important decisions, including whom to date or marry, where to live, whether to take a job or buy a home, and how to raise children.

Legal scholars said that such loyalty oaths could raise legitimate questions about a judicial nominee’s independence and impartiality. The scholars said in interviews that while there certainly was no religious test for office, it would have been relevant for the senators to examine what it means for a judicial nominee to make an oath to a group that could wield significant authority over its members’ lives.

‘Shocked’ FDA staffers walked out on RFK Jr.’s slur-ridden speech: report

~ ABN ~ 2 Comments

Visiting the FDA on Friday, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had several “off -the-cuff” remarks which stunned many staffers present, according to a POLITICO report.

The outlet obtained a transcript and audio of the speech where Kennedy claimed, “The Deep State is real. And it’s not, you know, just George Soros and Bill Gates and a bunch of nefarious individuals sitting together in a room and plotting the, you know, the destruction of humanity.”

The speech only became worse as he claimed, “‘every institution that’s created by human beings’ is inevitably captured by powerful interests.” Kennedy later added that “We want to break away from this so we can make our kids healthy.”

“Kennedy last week called the culling of roughly 10,000 employees a necessary action, promising that HHS would find ways to ‘do more with less,'” the report noted.

Nothing terribly shocking reported, click-bait title. RFK sounds like a more or less normal, well-informed American. I hope he bans the covid vax, brings on medical freedom from all vaxxes and treatments, cleans up the food supply, and massively helps small organic farmers. I can see a USA where 10% of workers are engaged in small-medium size organic farming, producing great food, widely available. As other industries close due to new tech, quality agriculture will be able to provide a lot of jobs to replace ones lost. ABN

Trump picks Yehuda Kaploun as antisemitism envoy

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

(JTA) — President Donald Trump has selected a new special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism, elevating a Miami businessman and fundraiser named Yehuda Kaploun to the role.

Kaploun is affiliated with Chabad, the Orthodox movement, and was a fundraiser and surrogate for Trump during last year’s campaign. He appeared with Trump at a ceremony in Florida to mark the one year anniversary of Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel.

The role, which requires Senate confirmation and was elevated in recent years to the ambassador level, is the United States’ top position related to fighting antisemitism and has responsibility primarily for what happens overseas. Kaploun, who initially got connected to Trump through Miriam and Sheldon Adelson, the Jewish Republican megadonors, offered a clear sense in the Mishpacha interview of where he believes the greatest threat to Jews lies.

He presented a grim view of antisemitism in the United States. “Our situation is similar to that of Jews in 1930s Germany, on the eve of Kristallnacht,” he said. “They, too, lived in peace and quiet until the ground shook under their feet. And in the United States, the ground is already shaking.”

link

Kaploun must be asked if he is a Jewish Supremacist during his confirmation hearing. He should also be required to completely and unambiguously disavow Jewish Supremacism wherever it occurs. Basic common sense demands at least this much from our representatives in the Senate. News and media figures should also follow this line of questioning when they speak with Kaploun. ABN

‘Rightfully theirs’: China targets Australia as ‘the next Taiwan’

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Beijing’s best and brightest are pushing for a radical plan involving Australia – and it should make us all very nervous.

Is Australia the next Taiwan? The next Spratly Islands? The next Himalayan Ladakh?

Some of China’s up-and-coming Communist Youth are asserting the land Down Under is rightfully theirs.

Jamestown Foundation open source intelligence analyst Shijie Wang has stumbled across an online discussion among Beijing’s best and brightest young minds.

The posts, isolated from the rest of the world behind the Chinese Communist Party’s “Great Internet Firewall”, advocate the “annexation” of Australia based on similar arguments to those being applied against the Himalayas, the East and South China Seas, the Senkaku and Spratly Islands and Taiwan.

The ancient Chinese Empire once went there.

Therefore, it belongs to China.

The expansionist advocacy flared after three Chinese warships last month circumnavigated Australia for the first time.

Along the way, the task group provoked controversy by conducting live-fire gunnery exercises beneath a busy Australia-New Zealand air traffic corridor.

KOBK, the game of apex power. The world has ever been thus. Be realistic. Understand the left is worse than the right. The left wants your mind—EU, communism, many Dems in USA. The right is milder, freer and better—Singapore, Japan, Russia, not enough GOPs or Independents in USA. ABN

Gripping story of Trump’s ‘savior’ Scott Bessent who shoved aside MAGA loyalists to save the world from economic oblivion

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

When Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent took the podium at the American Bankers Association on Wednesday morning he was anything but ‘yippy’ – the president’s term to describe the handwringing of Republicans and financiers who were sounding the alarm on his tariffs.

Early on, Trump branded them as ‘Panicans,’ a ‘new party based on weak and stupid people,’ but Bessent struck a unique messaging balance that both reassured stock traders and his boss.

Bessent reassured the room of bankers that, thanks to the president’s tariff threats, 75 countries were willing to negotiate with him, and that 15 of those nations had already proposed a deal.

‘The president already had good calls with the Japanese prime minster, and the leaders of South Korea, and Vietnam,’ Bessent revealed, and he was working quickly to settle monumental trade deals.

‘I’m not planning on going anywhere for Easter,’ he grinned, revealing that he would have a ‘lead negotiating role’ in the effort.

Bessent’s tone was relaxed, but made it very clear that he was backing the president’s agenda.

To the world, he urged countries to come to the table with a deal, noting that America was listening.

‘If you don’t retaliate, that is a ceiling,’ he said, urging them not to start ‘cutting their own throat’ by aligning economically with China.

link

The tariffs are a KOBK game theory move par excellance—Kill-Or-Be-Killed. ‘Don’t cut your own throat by retaliating’, Bessent said, voicing an actual threat.

If you retaliate as China has done you will be ‘killed’, meaning neutered, your power taken from you, subordinated to USA. If you cooperate and are reasonable we will all prosper and all will be well.

USA has the military, and more importantly, economic power to make this very strong KOBK move against the entire world. China has been an ungrateful parasite against USA and most of the rest of the world. It’s a communist-Chinese cultural flaw; selfish zero-sum thinking from dawn to dusk.

If China continues its KOBK line of retaliation, they may start a war with Taiwan or raise threat levels high enough to greatly disturb Taiwan while distracting their own people. They could also make moves against South Korea or Japan, not to mention USA.

Bessent is the perfect person to lead this largest and strongest KOBK move in world history. It’s a beautiful move, extremely well executed. Rather than bitch and moan, understand that Trump is doing what is best for USA and for the world. Using Bessent to deliver the message is perfect, as his tone is gentle but certain and it is hard not to like or trust him. He speaks softly but is carrying an enormous club. ABN
