What happened in central Alabama today? Yesterday I drove my car, and it was clean, woke up this morning looking like I had travelled on all the back, dusty roads around, and like it had misted on the car to turn it into mud. Dust storm? Muddy rain last night? Light rain followed by a dust storm? Drove 30 minutes away and there were several cars parked around me that looked the same. Drove another 15 minutes, same thing. Went to a car wash, and the lady said people had been coming in all day with the same "dust" on their cars, and hers was like that when she went outside about 8am. A friend who lives 5 miles away had the same dust on her car. Did some storm kick up dust that's falling in this area? This was so strange.
The Canadian roots of Elon Musk's conspiracist grandpa
The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree....
He very much resembles his grandpa.
“He would remain leery of financial institutions and other bureaucracies throughout his life, a sentiment that would shape his political philosophy,” says a 1995 academic paper about Haldeman co-written by his son Scott.
Haldeman came to believe that an international communist conspiracy controlled the banks, the media and the universities and was aiming to run the world.
“An ‘Invisible Government,’ working to carry out the objectives of the International Conspiracy, is operating in every country,” he wrote in his book The International Conspiracy in Health, which was published in the mid-1960s. In it, he also said the conspiracy was pushing for the fluoridation of water supplies, mandatory milk pasteurization and mass vaccination programs."

Deep State resistance taught Trump he needed to tame bureaucrats
Opinion.
Trump learned in first term how weaponization of government, including at USAID, was designed to stop him
By Mark Moyar
Fox News
Published February 18, 2025 7:00am EST
As someone who fought in the bureaucratic trench wars of the first Trump administration, I was a surprised as anyone by the stunning rapidity of DOGE leader Elon Musk’s blitzkrieg into the heart of the federal bureaucracy. Within a matter of days, President Donald Trump seized control of a federal bureaucracy that he had never brought fully under control during his first term.
A slower, more deliberate approach could have averted lawsuits and reduced collateral damage to the parts of the bureaucracy worth keeping. Yet the experiences of the first Trump administration gave Trump and DOGE good reason to believe that such an approach would bog down.
One of the chief lessons Trump learned from his first administration was that senior career bureaucrats, left to their own devices, were willing and able to sabotage him. The most disturbing insubordination was the Crossfire Hurricane scandal and the ensuing Mueller probe or investigation into Russian collusion, the crimes of which would today be considered comparable to Watergate if the mainstream media gave them due attention.
Prior to Trump’s election in 2016, senior FBI official Peter Strzok and FBI Director James Comey authorized spying on Trump campaign officials, some of which they justified through inaccurate FISA applications and bogus information in the Steele dossier.
Once Trump was elected, FBI bureaucrats like Kevin Clinesmith and Brian Auten and Justice Department lawyers like Bruce Ohr and Dana Boente kept the espionage going through additional acts of duplicity.
The weaponization of the government against Trump and his supporters extended into federal agencies. The Defense Department abused the security clearance system to oust Adam Lovinger after he identified the misuse of government funds to entrap Trump associates.
At USAID, career bureaucrats employed similar tactics against me because I had reported several of them for corruption. The agency’s security director, ethics attorney and inspector general --- the people who were supposed to safeguard ethics — took part in the moral turpitude.
During his first term, Trump also learned that federal bureaucrats were intent on slow rolling or completely obstructing his policies. Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, surreptitiously orchestrated a March 2020 report dismissing the Wuhan lab leak theory, which he then used to undercut White House efforts to hold the Chinese government accountable for the deadly catastrophe.
Career lawyers at the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights division impaired the division’s investigations and prosecutions by refusing to work on matters such as affirmative action, religious liberty and biological males in women’s sports. USAID bureaucrats deliberately concealed the agency’s humanitarian programs in Syria because they feared Trump would terminate the programs if he learned about them.
Prior to serving in the first Trump administration and learning about Crossfire Hurricane, I would not have believed that senior career bureaucrats would systematically subvert the White House and its policies. While there might be a bad apple here or there, it seemed implausible that substantial numbers of senior officials would have both the audacity and the authority to act.
Experience led me, along with Trump and many other Republicans, to conclude that subversion was widespread, and hence subversives needed to be removed from the federal bureaucracies henceforth. Late January, perhaps not coincidentally, USAID became the first agency where large numbers of senior bureaucrats were sidelined for resisting White House policies.
While those unfamiliar with the nation’s past may depict the Trump offensive as a radical break with tradition, fierce resistance to bureaucracy dates back to the nation’s founding. In 1776, Americans voiced a deep suspicion of government bureaucrats and cited it as a reason for breaking from Britain. The Declaration of Independence asserted that Britain had "erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance."
Presidents of both right and left have at various times belittled the federal bureaucracy and demanded its reduction in size and power. President Andrew Jackson restricted government employment to four years because with lengthier service men were "apt to acquire a habit of looking with indifference upon the public interests." President Bill Clinton cut the federal civilian work force by 427,000 during his two terms in office.
While the federal bureaucracy is bloated and should be shrunk, it cannot be eliminated. As the founders of this nation recognized, sinful human nature necessitates the existence of a government for certain purposes, such as enforcing the law, protecting against foreign enemies, and regulating commerce.
And as long as we have government, we need bureaucrats. Some bureaucrats need to be retained from one administration to the next to ensure that some people know how to keep the machines running. Congress should act, however, to make the firing of underperforming or insubordinate employees much easier than it is today.
The experience of the first Trump administration also showed that reining in the bureaucracy requires improving not only in bureaucrats but also the presidential appointees who serve in the agencies. By law, career bureaucrats are required to follow the directions of political appointees, and most of the ones I encountered did so.
Thus, political appointees who are competent, ethical and committed to the administration’s principles can steer the ship in the right direction once the subversive bureaucrats and excess baggage have been offloaded.
One reason why bureaucrats got away with so much during Trump’s first term was that too many political appointees lacked the desire or the courage to confront them. The first Trump administration came to power without a reservoir of such people from which to draw.
For this reason, Trump and those around him spent the last several years screening individuals for these jobs. Some of his picks have provoked controversy, even among his allies, but thus far the new team appears capable of taming a bureaucracy that was never brought to heel the last time around.
Some of the newer people have wondered how we became frogs, and who is Pepe, so thought I'd share this for our historical past. Enjoy!
With Big Balls now working at the State Department, and Elon changing his handle to Harry Bolz, and now this, I have laughed out loud more today than I can remember!

USAID > > Defending Democracy Together Institute money flow.
I seem to remember Q letting us know that most new members in Congress set up non-profits. We assumed for money laundering. @DataRepublican has started an effort to find out how money in USAID is funneled around. Apparently EINs aren't available for this, so they are using UEI's not EINs. If you click this link to see the original X post, there are a lot of good comments.
The image shows money starting at the top at USAID, then moving around through many NGO's until it reaches Bill Kristol's non-profit Defending Democracy Together Institute. He is a writer and commentator, critic of President Trump. Imagine what will be found for each elected official (and many others) using this data mapping computer power. No wonder certain people are screeching loudly.
A comment I read recently put things in better perspective. All those screeching heads are screeching about Elon and DOGE doing this audit, their lack of qualifications, the young autists with no knowledge, etc. NOT ONE OF THEM seems to care about the corruption being brought to light. None of them are the least bit horrified at the total waste of taxpayer money. Well, they did print it after all, maybe that's why. Yeah, that's why. Not because their money spigot has been turned off.
This map/graph is only the beginning. I'm hoping for many more as the computers have time to churn through all the data.
Chinese companies are building a bridge across the canal. The partially-completed bridge gives China the ability to block the canal without warning. More than 40% of U.S. container traffic transits the Panama Canal!

Q Post 3546 has 3 Anons posing at Gitmo holding a WWG1WGA sign above their heads. One is holding a paper saying Bread 8672. In reading that bread to see what might be important, post 6780034 stood out as being as valid today as when it was posted in June of 2019. Most of us have moved beyond this, but too many normal people are still caught in the matrix of lies and fears. How much of our "known personal reality" was created because we were actually physically present and saw it/ heard it personally, vs. seeing through the eyes of TV or other people?
Anon Post 6780034. Imagine if the information we get from the natural world through our eyes, ears, nose and skin could be tampered with? An enemy who controls sensory inputs can control what we buy, what we think about and what we will become in future.
Most of the information we receive today does not come to us directly through our senses. It still comes via the optic nerve to the brain, but the source is digital media displayed on a monitor or device screen.
Less that 10% of the average person's daily information input is direct sense experience of the natural world. What we imagine we know about the greater, outside world, our fellow humans is all acquired from TV "news" or "entertainment" programming - TV, movies, games VR and MR are how we form our understanding of greater social, economic and political reality.
We are entirely dependent on the integrity of MSM/legacy media for our understanding of the reality we share, and legacy media has betrayed us, engaging in massive deception and running what are called psyops, Information Operations, stories which employ real world violence in ways engineered to divide, confuse and terrify us.
Over 90% of all the information we take in about the world, about our reality, our fellow citizens, friends and neighbors, comes to us through a legacy media or big tech driven SCREEN.
The average American household has only 2.75 people, but 3 TVs and 6 Internet devices.
The average American family spends more money each month on media consumption than on groceries or electricity.
The average American consumes 12-15 aggregate hours of digital media per day.
The average American child consumes more than 10 hours of digital media per day.
The average American smartphone is checked every 6-12 waking minutes.
70% of Americans binge view.
With the emergence nonlinear networked communication it became possible to control individual and group information environments at all levels. Modern technologies have made "kinetic war" obsolete.
Information warfare destroys people and countries from within. By controlling the minds of citizens, by exploiting conditioned response with prepared information packages targeted individuals or nations can be (and have been) brought to take ANY specified action (including 'genocide') voluntarily.
Non-linear or Information war tactics involve turning enemy nations against themselves by infiltrating and subverting moral values. By gradually degrading the whole information infrastructure, from popular entertainment to text books. Occult material are introduced into required reading lists as is rewritten history. Historical frauds are legitimized, self-destructive behaviors are promoted as fashionable, mental illnesses and perversions like pedophilia are normalized by stages, and programs like "common core" are created to turn kids off learning.
By capturing the news and entertainment industry, and gradually, over decades, reducing the public vocabulary, promoting social division, emphasizing inequities, fanning the flames of old grievances, using false flag terrorism to foster or rekindle resentments, falsifying historical records to provide evidence for a shameful cult created US history that never happened. Destroying the story of a nation destroys that nation; the nation falls apart.
Mind war, non linear war, is a highly developed form of conflict, with tested doctrines and a protean tactical repertoire. We don't hear about IO, mind war and it's power and tactics because our entire information distribution infrastructure, entertainment industry and social media/ tech companies are all controlled by a subversive confederacy of deep state criminals. in short, they're comp'd.
Thanks to Admiral Mike Rogers' NSA, POTUS and MI, the attempted genocide of the American people has been exposed.
It's a terrible thing to discover you have been betrayed by those you most trust. It is well to remember we have ALL been deceived. Some may learn sooner, some learn later; but whenever you do, remember the others. Our fellow citizens still trapped in the false matrix of lies and fears and taboos created by sophisticated IO operators for purposes of social control. Those people still trapped need to be rescued not blamed. .
Imagine how things will be for us when this poisoning is stopped.
