It sure sounds like most fed agencies and employees aren’t eager to answer Elon’s bullshit, but if you got the email and do send a response (that isn’t personally identifying) that you’d like to share, I’m all ears, Signal is davelevitan.26

Why would one human being deliberately want to traumatize many other human beings who have done him no harm? It’s antithetical to any traditional spiritual or ethical teachings that I’m aware of.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Höcke claimed that "Hitler was regarded as only bad.” He has been convicted twice by German courts for using Nazi slogans. And at one point his own fellow AfD leaders thought he was too extreme for their party. But he’s hero to Elon Musk.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Folks, Teslas have security cameras all over them. Aside from it being a crime to do this, you’ll probably have your ugly mug showing up by email at the local police station.

Maybe that’s why these RW broligarchs are on a jihad again the government(“eat a balanced diet and get a moderate amount of exercise”) and women(“eat your veggies dear, they’re good for you”). They rebelled against both, and became self inflicted victims of ED.

Not really a surprise. It’s more a confirmation that Trump and the Republicans are intent on throwing Ukrainians under the bus.

This is why JD Vance was in Europe claiming that the US values free speech. It is part of the imperial project to force Europe to allow Nazi incitement like the US allows.

The TL;DR - The Social Security Administration investigated a career employee for sharing information with a member of Musk’s team not authorized to view it. Trump then appointed(rewarded maybe?)said employee to be SSA’s acting commissioner.

They’re probably counting on hybrid warfare(basically industrial terrorism) and nuclear threats to achieve what they can’t on the battlefield with the larger countries. Smaller states like the Baltics are unfortunately probably on the meat wave menu.

When I recently re-watched Dr. Strangelove, I wondered if the scene with Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake in the phone booth, fumbling for change, references to “trunk calls” and “station to station calls” might seem completely alien and unfathomable to today’s young adults.
