    “How frightening is it that the owner of X speaks to you directly to say ‘what did you do last week at work’… How do you think that makes federal workers feel?”

    This @DOGE protester is basically making @ElonMusk's case for him 🤣

    This DOGE protester's speech might as well be a standup comedy routine. It's that ridiculous.

    USDA Gave Black College $600k to Study Menstrual Cycles in Transgender Men, Non-Binary Persons
    Judicial Watch/Corruption Chronicles
    3/11/25
    https://www.judicialwatch.org/usda-s...m_term=members
    (We didn't have to wait in order to be shocked... )

    "In a flagrant example that demonstrates the urgency to crack down on reckless government spending, the federal agency that runs the nation’s scandal-plagued food stamp program gave a public historically black university over half a million dollars to study menstrual cycles in transgender men and people with masculine gender identities. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), long rocked by fraud and corruption in its $112.8 billion food stamp program, awarded the $600,000 grant to Southern University A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana last spring and the money is scheduled to flow through the spring of 2027. After explaining that a woman will have a monthly menstrual cycle for about 40 years of her life, the USDA grant document states that “it is also important to recognize that transgender men and people with masculine gender identities, intersex and non-binary persons may also menstruate.”

    The outrageous trans menstrual cycle study was uncovered by a conservative nonprofit that recently published a database of government-funded programs to promote gender ideology. The Virginia-based group, American Principles Project (APP), documents $174 million in federal spending on programs advancing far-left gender ideology under the Biden-Harris administration. The money was used to fund projects that promote radical ideas on gender both domestically and abroad, the group reveals, adding that agencies involved in the spending spree also include the departments of Defense, State and Health and Human Services (HHS) as well as the famously corrupt U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which the Trump administration is working swiftly to clean up after determining that “waste and abuse runs deep.” With a massive budget of around $40 billion, USAID has for years come under fire for the egregious programs it funds with public money and fortunately for American taxpayers, President Trump froze USAID disbursements on day one while his administration identifies problems.

    If there was any doubt about the need for the commander-in-chief’s new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to clamp down his predecessor’s carefree spending spree, the APP database eliminates any uncertainty. Among the highlights are three State Department grants totaling $5.8 million to universities in Arab nations—Lebanese American University, American University of Beirut, and American University in Cairo—to “increase participation in gender studies.” USAID awarded the American Bar Association nearly $2 million to “shield the LGBTQI population in the Western Balkans,” and north of a million dollars to the Bangladesh-based Bandhu Social Welfare Society to “support gender diverse people” in the South-Asian Islamic country well known as a recruiting ground for terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

    The Department of Education, which Trump is working to dismantle, awarded nearly half a million dollars last year to a Catholic university in Massachusetts so it could build an “empowerment program” for LGBTQ+ students in school gay-straight alliances. HHS gave a public university in San Diego, California around a million dollars to create a “trans-safe patient safety learning lab” that aims to improve “patient safety for transgender individuals.” The Department of Defense (DOD) doled out $850,000 in contracts to explore “racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in the military justice system.” The Department of the Interior (DOI) gave the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation a million dollars to convert men’s and women’s bathrooms into gender neutral bathrooms at Letchworth State Park.

    The list of scandalous awards goes on and on, illustrating the need for an entity like DOGE. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) allotted a private research university in Massachusetts $700,000 to study “social media and substance abuse risk and resilience among gender minority emerging adults.” The DOD disbursed nearly $350,000 in contracts to research reports on undermining authoritarian regimes using gender. The USDA also doled out around $230,000 to a “Brazil forest and gender consultant” and the State Department spent nearly $25,000 to premier a play in which women speak about their vaginas in the Gujarati language in India as well as nearly $22,000 to train 50 LGBTQI refugees in Kenya on “barbering, hairdressing, beauty therapy and cosmetology, food production, and computer programming.” The agency also spent $2,315 to teach English to “professional transgender women makeup entrepreneurs” in Nepal."

    DOGE Continues to Clean the Swamp – Cuts $620,000 for Pregnancy Prevention Program for Transgender Boys- Wait, What?

    Democrats continue to melt down as their precious DC swamp continues to be drained by the DOGE Team.

    The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) recently cut spending for Democrat pet projects, including $620,000 for pregnancy prevention programs for transgender boys.

    Can someone explain that one?

    Here is a list of recent cuts:

    – $620K for “an LGB+ inclusive teen pregnancy prevention program for transgender boys”
    – $699K for studying “cannabis use” among “sexual minority gender diverse individuals”
    – $740K for examining “social networks” among “black and Latino sexual minority men in New Jersey”
    – $50K for assessing “sexual health” among “LGTBQ+ Latinx youth in an agricultural community”
    – $75K for researching “structural racism”

    Here are more wasteful programs on the chopping block.

    – $100K for Vanderbilt University to study “social networks” among “sexual and gender minorities”
    – $37K for the University of Houston to study “fear of deportation” in “Latinx young adults”
    – $681K for the University of Pennsylvania to study “social media anti-vaping messages” among “sexual and gender minority teens”
    – $225K for the University of Colorado to study the “effects of hormones on headaches in transmasculine adolescents”

    The fraud waste and abuse is all we are concerned with. The real spending of needed programs are fine. The fact is those programs suffer and should be reimplemented ASAP.
    I think projecting when you are coming to inspect any agency involved is stupid of you! Dont' do that! Why would you do that unless you wanted them to cover their ass and you are now suspect to that taking place for leaking that you were coming. How do we know the leaker wasn't bought? Show up announced everywhere so they have absolutely no time to prep at all or hide anything or change anything! Stupid stupid stupid to tell them in advance so they can change contracts to hide stuff days before you arrive! Just flat out dumb!!
    The genius consistently stands out from the masses in that he unconsciously anticipates truths of which the population as a whole only later becomes conscious! Speech-circa 1937

    Elon Musk is not slowing down in his bid to cut the waste of the federal government.

    His latest target is the Department of Education where he’s taking the chainsaw to bureaucracy by firing almost 50% of the staff and shutting down the offices as of today.

    Elon says that some of the terrorism against Tesla is funded by the “Left-wing NGO cabal”.

    In other words, George Soros.

    Elon cut off Soros’ money supply via USAID, so Soros and the Deep State are fighting back against Elon.

    There is a shadow war going on.

    This brief summary alert was just published by Chris Martenson. I felt obliged to post it here, though —>
    1. My knowledge of the financial system isn't strong enough to really understand precisely why Martenson is so VERY alarmed, and
    2. I have to say, I'm always highly irritated when Martenson teases things like this and then puts the rest behind his paywall.

    Here's the Zero Hedge report on the same thing:

    Musk: Feds have "Magic Money Computers" that issue Payments "out of Thin Air"

    Sitting down with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for his podcast that was recorded at the White House, Cruz said: "One of the things you told me about is what you called, 'Magic Money Computers.' So tell us about it, 'cause I never heard of that 'til you brought it up."

    Musk: "Okay, so, you may think like the government computers all talk to each other, they synchronize, they add up what funds are going somewhere. And, that they're coherent ... And that the numbers that you're presented as a Senator are actually the real numbers."

    Cruz: "One would think!"

    Musk: "One would think - they're not ... I mean they're not totally wrong, but they're probably off by five percent or 10 percent in some cases. So, I call it 'Magic Money Computer': any computer that can make money out of thin air. That's magic money."

    Cruz: "So how does that work?" Cruz asked.

    Musk: "It just issues payments."

    Cruz: "And you said there's something like 11 of these computers at Treasury that are sending out trillions in payments?"

    Musk replied that they're mostly at the Department of Treasury, and others are at the Department of Health and Human Services as well as the Department of Defense.

    Musk: "We've found now 14 'Magic Money Computers. They just send money out of nothing."

    wrt Magic Money computers

    In an era when currency is virtual, this is a means to an end, but unfortunately serves rather to mystify what is going on.

    These matters were easier to grasp when currency was material. This corresponds to the government engaging in "coin clipping" (e.g cutting slivers of gold off the original coins, and using the metal to make new coins), or the adulteration of gold coinage with copper - and compelling the populace to regard the additional debased currency as real.

    Magic Money Computers is - in other words (as is all inflation) a form of theft - whereby the government steals resources from people at large (a little bit from everybody), in order to concentrate resources in their own hands.

    This gives a government control of a higher proportion of the total resources, at the cost of continually diluting the unit value of money.

    That's why governments love inflation, keep causing it over and again; and why governments give authority to fake economic theories, "explaining" how inflation/ government-theft is "good for the economy".

    Magic Money Machine Discovered by Founders

    During the American Revolution the founders learned about inflation. While Ben Franklin cranked out literally hundreds of tons of paper money on his printing press, George Washington complained: "A wagonload of money will scarcely purchase a wagonload of provisions."

    So it is no surprise that they incorporated a solution to that problem by giving Congress the power to "coin" money [Article I, Section 8] and by prohibiting the States: "No State shall make any Thing but gold and silver Coin in Payment of Debts" [Article I, Section 10, US Constitution].

    That prohibition to the States has never been amended but like the rest of the Constitution has been flushed down the toilet and is not followed.

    Therefore, here is a solution to help restore the Republic: When you receive, for example, a property tax statement, reply by certified mail with return receipt with the question: "Pursuant to Article I, Section 10, united States' Constitution, to wit: "No State shall make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts, what are you demanding--gold coin, silver coin or a combination thereof?"

    I did this for nearly three years and discovered how corrupt the county was and that the US Constitution is no longer followed. Just before the county was going to take my land and home I paid the "tax" with devalued US-minted coins.

    This constitutional provision is supported by the Thirteenth Amendment which prohibits "involuntary servitude" and the 4th Article of the Bill of Rights that essentially states that we have the right be secure in our property. Mandatory "taxation" is by definition "involuntary servitude"--voluntary taxation is not.

    Thankfully, Trump, et al, are now moving toward funding the government with tariffs, etc, and DOGE is making the federal government more efficient so that eventually mandatory taxation will hopefully end.

    This could happen rather quickly with the states and federal government taking away the Federal Reserve from the banksters. In doing so the current system can continue wherein people can still borrow money backed by gold and silver but the interest can be used to fund government at the federal, state, county and city levels, thereby ending taxation.

    Several years ago it was reported that, globally, tangible paper and coin currency constituted only about 8% of the currency in circulation and 92% was intangible, invisible electronic currency. It is obviously worse than that now. If one adds in the stock market bets, especially derivatives which numbers in the quadrillions, the amount of tangible currency in circulation is a mere tiny fraction of invisible electronic currency.

    The very real problem with that is that a coronal mass ejection/solar flare hitting the Earth or an EMP weapon can literally wipe out all electronic money, computers, circuit boards, chips, etc, in an instant.

    The Chinese have established a network of satellites armed with EMP weapons but EMP weapons can be delivered and set off in numerous other ways. Even if these weapons are not used an EMP from the sun hitting the Earth is inevitable and has already happened with the Carrington event in 1859 in which sparks flew and fried the telegraph system. This was before houses were wired and before most of modern society was totally dependent upon very sensitive and fragile electronics. Potentially, most of humankind would exterminated in a very short amount of time.

    In the meantime the global elitists can achieve their global depopulation agenda and use their tickets to the deep underground bases and cities to survive.

    The grocery stores and food warehouses above ground would be immediately looted, cars and trucks could not move, homes built of wood would burn up from the wiring sparking, farmers could not grow food, and you can imagine what chaos would ensue when people get hungry and begin to starve. It will be very ugly. Unfortunately, I understand that the grid has not been hardened against a coronal mass ejection hitting Earth.

    In the meantime the global elitists are moving toward total slavery which is prohibited by the Thirteenth Amendment. People are voluntarily buying most everything with fragile and invisible electronic currencies, investing in cryptos and CBDCs are being pushed for global currencies (such as Christine Lagarde's work on implementing CBDCs).

    The amount of tangible cash in the form of coins and paper money is diminishing and has been recently implemented with Trump's unconstitutional cessation of minting pennies. (Congress has the power to coin money not the president: Article I, Section 8, US Constitution.) BTW, actual copper pennies are still in circulation (as opposed to the more recent devalued pennies).

    When tangible cash is fully eliminated, digital slavery along with social credit scores will ensue unless We the People stop it. Tangible Cash--Use It or Lose It (along with our Liberties).

    The only thing Soros and Musk have in common is that they both have a lot of money.

    Musk is the richest man in the world. He has no handlers.

    Those tweets are spectacularly stupid.

    Most social media is spectacularly stupid.


    'Musk is the richest man in the world' is a bad and stupid meme.

    He's nowhere near that. He'd have to have hundreds of trillions to be in the running for that title.

    The wealthiest people in the world don't crow about it. I'm sure there are dozens or even hundreds of wealthier people than Elon Musk. The senior member of the Medici and of the Orsini families will be far wealthier than Musk, by an order or two of magnitude.

    Things can be deceptive tho'. Family names change and people we see in the pop culture public view can turn out to not be who we think they are. Even Musk may not be, even tho' we think we know the story of his broke grandfather etc. A good example is the man we know as a successful Hollywood actor, Tom Cruise. He's really a member of one of the wealthiest families on the planet, the Orsini family.

    Catherine Austin Fitts in an interview a few years ago said, "there are 3 categories you should never get mixed up, News, intelligence and entertainment. If you get your intelligence from news or entertainment, you're screwed".

    My difficulty is that I'm crap at raw intelligence because I almost never go anywhere beyond the cyber networks of entertainer news jockeys. I do my best to compensate by reading between millions of lines of input data not intended as accurate intelligence but if enough of it is processed there is some intelligence value to extract from it. It's different, harder and more time consuming than what Clif High does but it's not entirely unrelated.
