Musk attacking the governments of Germany, UK, and France and supporting far right parties to take over.

Trump threatening to invade everyone.

To all appearances, we are seeing the rise of a global cabal set about to turn "the West" into a giant Fascist Oligarchy

1/
Fascism almost always comes with imperialism.

Putin started his war against Ukraine because he wants to be remembered as "Vlad the Great who restored the empire". It's all about his ego.

2/
Trump is easy to explain. Trump is 100% ego and id.

He is looking at the return of imperialism and thinking "I could be Trump The Great", first President to expand the US in over 100 years.

3/
In addition, while Trump claims Greenland is about national security, it is really about the grift.

Buy/invade at taxpayer expense.

Sell the strip mining rights to mining companies for $1 for a 100 year lease.

And of course, require millions/billions in kickbacks.

4/
Militarily retake the Panama Canal, license one of Trump's Panama Papers LLCs to the management rights.

Trump is all ego and grift. It is really simple.

5/
But why is Musk supporting far right, even Nazi parties?

Far right fascists are notoriously corrupt. Putin, Orban, Fico, Trump.

They will gleefully sell their country out in exchange for power and money.

6/
That is the Fascist Oligarchy dynamic.

Fascist movements typical evolve out of a cult of personality. The fascists keep the masses in line, while the oligarchs finance them in exchange for freedom to do anything they want.

Just look at russia.

7/
It is now clear that Musk bought Twitter, with the help of Saudi Arabia and russian oligarchs, as an experiment to see if he could use social media and social engineering to push fascist Trump over the finish line.

He succeeded.

8/
Now Musk is looking to repeat the process in the largest European countries. If he can capture the largest countries, the smaller ones will fall eventually.

It isn't just Musk. It is also Putin, China, and Iran. With minor players like Orban, Fico, and Lukashenka.

9/
Musk isn't alone either. It is Thiel, Sacks, and the rest of the tech bros.

Don't know if others like Bezos are in for the "big picture", but they are bending the knee to fascism in the US so that they can get a piece of that Oligarchy pie.

10/
Support the far right, when they take over, they sell the country out to the oligarchs, and the feedback loop begins.

Each country that falls makes it much much harder for the peasants to fight back.

11/
They are moving at incredible speed. By the time anybody sees the bigger picture, it will be too late.

It isn't people "going crazy", there is a method to the madness.

US (+Canada/Greenland/Mexico), russia, Germany, UK, France... look at the economic and military power.

12/
Now add a group of oligarch "kingmakers" with no allegiance to any country propping up fascist "kings" across all of those countries.

Then add in minor players like Hungary, Slovakia, Belarus, and Iran.

13/
Oh yeah, and add in the return of imperialism.

Who is going to stand up to it?

Smaller countries fall in line to become vassal states or they get run over and absorbed.

14/
Fascist movements tend to be good at keeping people in line. They divide with racism and bigotry. Keep people divided and blaming the powerless.

By the time people wake up to it, there is a powerful police state in place to beat them down.

There is your dystopian movie

15/
We are at the beginning. Watching a Global Fascist Oligarchy coming together and flexing its muscles.

It is not madness. It is a plan to destabilize and conquer, unfolding right before our eyes.

It is going to get a LOT worse really fast.

16/end
P.S. If you support Ukraine, understand that Trump's imperialist dream only becomes really possible by allowing/assisting Putin to break the seal on the prohibitions against imperialism.
P.P.S Here is a lovely thread on what the tech-broligarchs are up to.

See where it all ties together?

P.P.P.P.S.S.S.P.S (what is the official for #3?)

Here is a good primer on russian disinformation techniques. Click into both threads.

Recognize anything?

@romainSG47205 @LulusMom7 They also destabilize Africa supporting every war, coup, and terrorist group on the continent.

The result is more migration from Africa into Europe as people flee the violence.
@EvaneAnna Ukraine may have said they wouldn't renew the lease at some point, but they have every right to do that. It is their country.

Doesn't give russia the right to invade.
@toastedavocado2 But then Minsk 2 was 2 years into russia's invasion.

Kinda hard to say Minsk 2 triggered the invasion when the invasion happened first.

After some time to think about the excellent thread below (read it first), I realized that it is MUCH worse than Jack stated.

The executive order sidelines both the courts AND Congress.

I will explain

1/
The constitution sets up the US government as:
1) Congress writes the laws
2) The executive branch enforces the laws
3) The Courts adjudicate the laws

2/
Key point here is that only the executive branch has any enforcement capabilities.

The executive order says that the President is the sole arbiter, with the AG acting as proxy, for what is the law and what is constitutional within the executive branch.

It is the fault of all of us.

- 50% or more of us either don't pay attention to politics at all, and don't vote, or pay attention for 5 minutes every 4 years and vote based on a 5 second sound bite

- Our attention span has gone from 30 to 10 to 5 second sound bites

1/
- When we were told "their all the same", instead of demanding better, we checked out to watch "Keeping up with the real house husbands of Duluth"

- we worship money and think the wealthy are god-like and can do no wrong

2/
- We view ourselves as temporarily dispossessed millionaires, so instead of fighting against the boot that is on our neck, we cheer it on in hopes that we get to be the ones with the boots.

Musk said he wants to use AI to review government contracts for waste, fraud, and abuse.

There are a whole bunch of questions that raises, which neither Musk nor the administration are willing to answer.

1/
- Who controls that AI? Musk or one of his companies?
- How much are taxpayers paying for it?
- When did congress authorize spending on it?
- How many competitive bids were taken on providing that service?
- Where is the contract for that service and what are the terms?

2/
- Where is the data being stored?
- What data is being stored?
- What are the classified data protections?
- Has it been audited for classified data security?
- Is it transferring classified data to external computers?

Fun little story time.

Back in 2008/9 Bank of America needed additional bailout money, ~$40B.

So the Obama administration was going to do a stock purchase, giving the US government somewhere around 10-20% stake in BofA. Enough to have a seat on the board.

1/
Which meant the government would have a say in whether BofA could use that bailout money to pay executive bonuses and dividends or could enact policies such as illegally foreclosing on tens of thousands of homes.

2/
After a few years, when things stabilized, the government would collect some dividends and sell at a profit. Good for everybody

The GOP threw an absolute shit fit at the idea of the US government having any stake in any bank and the ability to steer bank policy for any time

I'm seeing a lot of posts of people saying that Trump cannot end birthright citizenship via executive order because it is part of the constitution and requires an amendment. That it will be challenged in court immediately.

1/
People don't understand a lawless presidency.

Dictators 101 - ignore the laws you don't like

"I'm a US citizen!"

"We don't care, get in the cattle car"

2/
There are 3 checks on on a lawless executive in the US.

1) The courts. The problem there is that it is up to the executive branch to enforce court rulings.

Trump's favorite president, other than himself, is Andrew Jackson. For exactly one reason.

Elon admits that he doesn't understand people. It is a factor of his Asperger's. Making it greatly ironic that he bought a social media company.

1/
The general model for the US since Reagan, strongly supported by the 1%, is to keep the majority of the country right on the edge of the cliff. You throw a few off each year as an example to the rest. Medical bankruptcies are great for that.

2/
After all, the 1% didn't give you cancer, it's practically your own fault. Covid, not their fault.

When people are on the edge of the abyss, they fight like hell to keep from going over. 2, 3, 4 jobs. They are too busy holding on what little they have to fight back.
