Silicon Valley Whistleblowers Warn Elon Musk ‘Hijacking’ #Republicans to Control Entire US Government – #CurtisYarvin

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

What kleptocrats have discovered is that democracy cannot exist if the mental space can be deranged by flooding it with malign disinformation; when democracy no longer exists, the impartial rule of fair law has also crumbled, because it no longer has popular support. This is how to take over.

AI is billed as another Gutenberg revolution. But maybe in reverse. Mass production of books led to the rise of literacy, the Enlightenment and decentralisation of knowledge away from a priestly elite. But Big Tech threatens to recentralise knowledge - the Dark Enlightenment

This Is Not Appeasement, It Is Worse Comparisons to Neville Chamberlain and Appeasement are not fair to Chamberlain. Trump isn't trying to delay a war with Putin or give himself time to rearm. The US president is trying to help Putin @phillipspobrien.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Vance lecturing Europe on democracy is bit rich. He forgets it is underpinned by human rights and the rule of law, while the his President is lawless and US’s first amendment has been railroaded to help corporations and foreign oligarchs buy elections

When people ask what Putin has over Trump, remember the Spycraft acronym MICE which describe the four key weaknesses which allow someone open to be being recruited M - Money I - Ideology C - compromising material (Kompromat) E - Ego All four are probably factors in Trump’s subservience to Putin

These companies want to be “non-banks” that can accept deposits of your money and then not have any legal obligations to protect it—which lets them use it to speculate on crypto etc—and not have FDIC insurance. They need to kill the cfpb to do that.

I'd like to see more writing on how the Musk/Trump junta feels like a frontal attack on the entire concept of virtue, in even the most traditional senses. They are actively demonizing and punishing everyone who doesn't worship Mammon.

Closer economic ties with the European Union will boost UK growth by up to 2.2%. Brexit has inflicted huge harm. Must rejoin EU. Better to build closer ties with the EU than bowing to the unhinged man in the White House. archive.ph/1lyUW

The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years. And when their standard of living slips dramatically in the next five years they still won’t understand because their TV will blame it on some poor scapegoat.

Max Fisher: "Wielding the power of the state to intimidate news agencies against reporting on the government's illegal abuses of power is literal authoritarianism. I'm not speaking figuratively, I'm not calling it a warning sign. It's authoritarianism. It's here."

Yes. In fact, civil society will ultimately have to be what rescues us from Trump’s bid for autocracy more generally. The Dems and legacy media can’t be relied on, but civil society can. I explain how in the piece linked in the next skeet (1/2).

Elon Musk is committing a lot of felonies. He belongs in jail, and so do his criminal associates. He may not comprehend that. And if and when he does it may make him more reckless. No assumptions about where we go from here.

When an unelected half-trillionaire Nazi raids, seizes and hacks the Treasury with a bunch of teenage Thiel goons, there is no more “bipartisanship.” Stop larping “politics.” Forever. There is no more politics. There is the Reich, its loyal subjects, and Les Miserables.

As someone who loves the United States despite itself, I’m bemused that the two groups that hate the country at a deep fundamental level — the far-right and the far-left — are going to get the collapse they want and be left much worse off for it.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.
