1/Evidence is mounting that Musk believes he is a messianic figure who is also aligned with Putin’s Noosphere policy agenda. He wore this idiotic “Omega point” pendant to the UFC fight. Bots on Here and other proxy outlets are amplifying it. 2/This has been brewing for some time, and Putin adopted the “Noosphere” policy agenda (of Vernadsky/Teilhard) back in 2000. Search my feed, read my threads and articles. This is all well-documented and Musk thinks he is a messiah who will “end” America. More below.

1/Hearing a lot of people talk about tariffs and "what it will mean." It's likely to mean nothing.

1) Lots of other terrible chaos happening; no time for tariffs.

2) "Tariffs" were a campaign dogwhistle to people who want to eliminate the income tax.

Focus on the fascism. 2/Here's a good piece on why Trump's blather is BS nonsense.

1/There is nothing more embarrassing than watching hordes of liberals willingly herd themselves into a pen funded by Russian capital. Blue sky’s principal funder Blockchain Capital LLC is run in part by Kirill Dorofeev, who also works for VK, Russia’s state social network.

2/Be aware you are effectively operating behind enemy lines. It may be tactically useful to do so, but don’t pretend there is anything “good” happening here. For all the talk about critical thinking, folks could try using some for once. 🤦

🚨Artem Klyushin appears to be a key advisor to Elon Musk and Donald Trump as they plan out their cabinet. Klyushin also seems to have "nudged" the selection of Amy Coney Barrett a month before she was announced in 2020. Anybody home, @FBI?🚨


More background on Klyushin's longtime connection to Trump's network, going back at least over a dozen years.

1/IMPORTANT thread about Bluesky, for those fleeing there. Folks know that it was seeded by Jack Dorsey around a libertarian vision of a magical network that wouldn’t need moderation because it would be decentralized and baked into a protocol (somehow). 2/The people who aided Dorsey in pursuing this vision were other libertarian/post-rationalists connected with effective altruism and other online anarchist movements. One network called TPOT (‘that part of Twitter’) was instrumental. It carried over into Bluesky’s founding DNA.

A few notes on various election integrity questions I'm getting privately from people:

1. Thankfully, we now overwhelmingly use paper ballots, which means they can be hand recounted.

2. If folks have probable cause to think there are irregularities with tabulation, they should definitely pursue hand recounts. That's why we use paper.

3. I architected the technology for a nationwide election monitoring campaign in 2008 with some major media outlets (NPR, CBS, etc) and know a lot of experts in that space, and have asked them what they hear.

4. I am not hearing any chatter from those experts about hacking concerns. These are the people who get called in when there are problems, and their phones are silent.

5. The bomb threats were illegal and disruptive interference, however, local authorities need to decide if they posed any material issue. So far, it doesn't sound like there is strong evidence to suggest they did.

6. There is no reason not to do hand recounts where folks have questions. However there is not a lot of reason to believe that would change any outcomes at this time.

No one, from local officials, to the Harris campaign, to leading experts has information suggesting material issues with vote total manipulation. However, there is no harm in doing some spot recounts if it would increase confidence in the outcome.

The best way to initiate any kind of recount is for local whistleblowers to contact the Harris team with evidence that would help justify spot checks in a given locality. Here is some background on our 2008 election monitoring project (Twitter Vote Report), for those interested.

The global economy is about to be fucked up in ways that will have economists and historians studying the aftermath for generations to come. People have no idea. Those with savings and equities are most at risk. The combination of failure to pass an Omnibus, likely US debt default, and shunting US Treasury assets into a “strategic bitcoin reserve,” and totally unregulated Ponzi crypto asset bubbles is a recipe for destruction of US and EU. The dollar will become worthless.

Update: the chatter I’m getting now is that the “secret” is that Johnson simply won’t pass an Omnibus budget, which means the government is done. Federal employees, update your resumés now.

https://twitter.com/davetroy/status/1854200227256742023

Whether this is practicable or not remains to be seen, but this is likely the deal Johnson has made to stay on as Speaker. This may lead to a CR of some kind, or other compromises, but expect no Omnibus and expect massive cuts. No one should be surprised when this goes down.

1/America is headed for Monarchy, with other former democracies to follow suit. It will take some time for those who voted for this to realize this is the case, but that's the fact. 2/At first they will talk about "dismantling bureaucracy" and the "military industrial complex," and their base will cheer. When things get further along and the base starts to bleed, they will invoke language of "patriotic sacrifice," along with bread and circuses.

1/I just had an “oh sh!t” moment, re-reading my own work from 2023. It is Russell Vought who developed the “crash the economy, kill the dollar” strategy. It was recently reported by ProPublica…

washingtonspectator.org/crash-the-glob… 2/that Vought has a plan to use the military to “suppress domestic unrest” and to “traumatize” Federal employees. This is really bad, folks. Can’t tell you how bad this alignment is. It’s bad bad bad.

1/If this country collapses, it will be because of cognitive dissonance and our refusal to believe what we don’t wish to believe. Putin is using Musk to attempt a strategic takeover of the United States, in partnership with China. They will default on US debt and… 2/tank the dollar. This does not serve American interests in the least, yet MAGA is already being prepared to accept “hardships” as we go through this wrenching collapse. How far they go depends only on how soon people wake up to their true intentions.

Musk, Putin, and Trump have EVERYTHING riding on a win on Tuesday. If they fall short, they all fall.

It's up to us to ensure through all available means that they don't get away with this effort to take control of the world's largest democracy. I've been in meetings and comms with well-connected DC colleagues all this week. The consensus is that Musk is Putin's designated proxy to execute his US takeover operation. Trump and Vance are following orders from Putin. That's the best assessment we have right now.

Our adversaries are nihilists with only one goal: to terminate, once and for all, the United States, its hegemony, and the dollar. This isn’t about policy, or conservatism, or theocracy. It is a radical program of destruction.

1/Rogan is not an impartial player. Any longitudinal study of his guest list, combined with the target audience and “just asking questions” shtick places him squarely as a Thieliverse info op. The cognitive dissonance of trying to place Harris in that milieu is the point. Stop. 2/She is wise to decline, and he has no intention but to use this as an opportunity to toy with her and her supporters: either beat her up for not coming on (plan A) or if she somehow falls for the trap and does come on, use his dudebro vibe to make her look silly (plan B).

1/🚨Wake up. This is real. I began reporting on this back in 2021. Musk says it's "necessary" to crash the economy; that will come through debt default. And it's not just him: it's Ron Paul, Russia, and all their allies.
meidasnews.com/news/trump-all… 2/The Christian-libertarian-conservative axis believes this is necessary to restore 'biblical money' and to kill off the Federal Reserve. That is expertly outlined here.

1/Multiple sources have confirmed to me that the Kremlin was in direct contact with Musk in 2020, and that the USIC was made aware of that fact at the time. 2/It is entirely likely he was “in network” prior to that through people like Dana Rohrabacher, with whom he was close. And there is some evidence to suggest Musk was involved as far back as 2016-2017.

1/Over the holidays, you will talk to family members trying to get rich on crypto schemes. They are going to be wiped out. Consider who they are going to blame, what they might do when that happens, and what skills, if any, they can fall back on.

cryptoglobe.com/latest/2024/10… 2/When the demos wakes up to the fact that crypto schemes constitute a massive theft of assets from non-holders to holders, this will all come crashing down. The crypto “community” also functions as a cult that indoctrinates people into extremist ideology using thought reform.

June 11, 2014: "Elon Musk woos Congress with space ship"

"Great job, Elon!" yelled Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a California Republican, poking his head out of the Dragon V2 space capsule, which Musk hopes will one day ferry U.S. astronauts and scientists into outer space.

The company has already landed a few federal contracts, including one to launch robotic, unmanned cargo vehicles into space. But Elon Musk wants more.

1/We already killed Wildcat Banking once, in 1863. We’re going to have to do it again with crypto. Will we have the courage? Or will we succumb to capture? I have doubts.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcat_b… 2/Crypto interests have already pumped in more than $200mm into this election cycle, to own candidates of both parties; more than Musk, more than big oil. All aimed at killing the dollar. And the Dems don’t understand the threat yet.

1/Uncomfortable truth: the election won't fix this. The gambit being waged by Musk, Putin, and friends is designed to destroy the United States. And that WILL happen unless we quickly arrest its progress. Here is what we need to do to block their plan. 2/Obviously, if Trump wins it's game over. Vance will end up in charge, working for Musk, Thiel, and Putin. They will dismantle the United States, limb by limb. That in turn will lead to instability, unrest, and God knows what. That is Plan A.

1/Notable that Musk met with Murdoch just before he got shanked by the WSJ. Was that a coincidence? Who knows. But it likely suggests a degree of editorial independence at WSJ. Hard to imagine Murdoch jeopardizing their shared project at this late hour.

newrepublic.com/post/187501/el… 2/Similarly, folks are realizing that Tesla’s stock price makes no sense. It is absurdly overinflated. As this analyst notes, $820bn valuation on $2bn cash flow is just insane. Is the stock propped up by Saudi, Chinese, and Russian whales, to give Elon more leverage? Maybe,
