Well, now we know who really got elected POTUS in November, Elon Muskrat.  The Billionaire Oligarchy is now front and center on display for all to see, and any nonsense about His Royal Trumpness being a Man of the People revealed as the bald faced lie it always was.  We have a Goobermint Of Billionaires, By Billionaires and For Billionaires.

Will a goobermint shutdown wake up the MAGA Faithful to how they have fucked themselves?  Probably not.  They'll find a way to spin it and blame it on the liberals somehow.

Full on Fascism has arrived in the FSoA.  It's not Fascism Lite anymore.  The merger of the State with the Corporatocracy is complete.

Elon was not even elected to be dog catcher.  That is what Bernie said but Bernie is wrong.

Money votes in the Fascist States of America, people do not.

Money elected Elon and money gives Elon more money.

Most idiots in America are fine with oligarchy, so nothing is going to change.  They dream about the lottery in their dreams I guess.  Because nothing else makes any fucking sense.

Pushback

The House of Representatives passed a government funding bill to avoid a partial government shutdown Friday evening — but a spending lapse remains possible due to uncertainty about the Senate timeframe to consider the bill.

The 366-34 vote ended two days of high drama — after President-elect Donald Trump and incoming Department of Government Efficiency chief Elon Musk objected to what they called a bloated initial package.

Republicans supported the third version of the package overwhelmingly, with just 34 opposing it, while no Democrats voted against it, with just one voting "present."

At least 38 House GOPers shot down a similar bill Thursday night, but Speaker Mike Johnson emerged from marathon deliberations on Friday afternoon to announce he had "a unified Republican conference."

The show has not even started. This dude will be on a commemorative quarter.

The endless deception of the narrative.

The New York Times deleted a video of violence in Amsterdam it published once it realized that the perpetrators were Israelis and not an anti-Semitic mob. The Times had falsely claimed that the video showed Israeli football fans being attacked while in the Netherlands to support their team. What the video actually showed was a group of Israelis chasing and attacking locals.

Instead of changing their story and highlighting the bad behavior of the Israelis, the Paper of Record decided to delete the video. Why was it newsworthy when Dutch fans attacked Israelis but not when Israelis attacked Dutch people? The short answer is that the story no longer fits the long-running narrative of a new wave of anti-Semitic violence surging across the West. Therefore, it was dropped entirely.

The newspaper of record defines reality in Merica.  Don't be taken in.

Propaganda has a playbook and knowing how it is done lets you see it.

1. Blame all economic problems on the targeted government.  Ignore the effect of US sanctions.
2. The targeted leader is always presented as a tyrannical autocrat who crushes dissent, contrary to any reality.
3. No not say 'coup' say 'uprising' , 'revolt', or 'transition'.  Gaslight the reader.
4. Ridicule the idea of US involvements.
5. Describe new US backed rulers as democratic and ignore any violence they commit to establish rule.
6. Blame deposed leaders as being responsible for their own overthrow.

The above rules are implemented with telling sentence structure.  As the video shows.

[RE]

A nice synopsis of the philosophic underpinning of the actions and behavior of the group of Billionaires that has taken control of the political narrative in the FSoA and shaping the future to their own relentless quest for unlimited power.  The election of Trump has further consolidated their power, which means we will rush even faster in pursuit of unattainable goals like the colonization of Mars and Immortality or the rich.

Taking this philosophy to its logical conclusion, it's fairly obvious that in portioning out energy resources, the Broligarchs would fully support switching off all the power in Africa to supply their AI supercomputers with enough juice.  Africa of course is full of Black people, who are expendable useless eaters.  So you can expect collapse to come sooner and be much more complete in 3rd world countries to keep BAU going longer in the FSoA and Europe.  Expect also mass deportation of brown skinned people from both continents.

The main question is how long people within the borders of the Broligarchs gated countries will accept their own further impoverishment before we get rebellion?  As long as they can keep lights on here while they go off elsewhere, people will accept their condition.

The Dystopian world has arrived.

The Nazi Salute is BACK!



"Did he really do that or was it just an awkward hand gesture?"

Come on!  Given Elon's well published views on white racial superiority and his eugenics campaign  begging white people to have more babies and the fact he is from South Africa, home of Apartheid, it is quite clear that Elon is a full on Nazi.  The fact he will stand up and do this PUBLICLY not once but twice for emphasis further cements the fact Elon believes he can do absolutely anything he wants to and nothing, not even being a Nazi can be punished.  Given the Trump also is a Nazi and POTUS and commits felonies at will shows this is probably true.

You can bet this will embolden their followers to start using the salute publicly more often now as well.  Elon is normalizing it as Free Speech.

The question of whether Muskrat's Sig Heil Salute was intentional or not is irrelevant.  It LOOKS sufficiently like this well known symbol of Nazi Solidarity that it can reasonably be construed that way.  When you couple this with Elon's equally well known political and social beliefs, it will be interpreted by bona fide Nazis to be an expression of his solidarity with them.

Would Elon characterize himself as a Nazi?  Of course not.  The problem is that in every way that counts, Elon's politics are synchronous with Nazi politics.  He believes in White racial superiority, he believes only property holders should have the right to vote, and he's part of the Fascist fusing of corporate power and goobermint.  So, looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, he's a duck whether he admits to it or not.

The salute?  It was spontaneous and impromptu, so he wasn't consciously appealing to the Nazis in the audience.  Unconsciously though, Elon has seen all the same movies and newsreels we have seen, and his mind's eye know how Il Duce or Der Fuehrer looked when they capped off the end of a speech.  He's unconsciously modeling his behavior to look just like that.  To be clear, just like Hitler and Mussolini, Musk is a narcissistic megalomaniac who aspires to world domination and is convinced of his own superiority to the common man.  He believes his own race of White people is genetically superior and  should reproduce.  He's not JUST a Nazi, he's Der Fuehrer which translates to The Leader

Because of all that, his salute comes off as Nazi whether he intended it to or not.

It was not a clear signal because Elon knows how bad that would be.  It was a spontaneous expletive which likely did have passing thoughts concerning the failed Austrian Painter who never had a real job.  Motherfucker Musk wanted to see what he could get by with.  Push it to the limit without going over the edge like a high school class clown.  Me at 14 years old.  Trump and Musk both like to push it.  They scratch a common itch.

The failed painter had to be on his mind :

Elon Musk doubles down on endorsement of far-right German party in conversation on X

Elon Musk urged Germans to vote for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) in an upcoming election.

Elon Musk urged Germans to vote for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) in an upcoming election in a conversation with its leader on his social media platform X that highlighted the U.S. billionaire's growing ambition to sway European politics.

In a wide-ranging, sometimes stilted conversation that touched on immigration, German bureaucracy, energy policy, space colonization, God and Adolf Hitler, Musk and AfD chancellor candidate Alice Weidel agreed that the AfD was the answer to Germany's malaise.

"People really need to get behind AfD, otherwise things are going to get very, very much worse in Germany," Musk said. "I think Alice Weidel is a very reasonable person. Nothing outrageous is being proposed."

Musk was doubling down on his endorsement last month of the anti-immigration, anti-Islamic party labeled as right-wing-extremist by German security services, which has caused consternation in Berlin and accusations of undue influence.

The AfD has almost no chance of forming a government despite polling in second place as other parties refuse to work with it. Still, critics worry that Musk's support for the AfD could further bolster its popularity, eroding support for mainstream parties and making it harder for them to form a coherent coalition.

Musk's endorsement of the AfD and increasingly vocal support for far-right and anti-establishment parties across Europe comes after he last year used X and his vast wealth to help Republican candidate Donald Trump win the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election.

Speaking in fluent English, Weidel expressed gratitude for Musk's support, saying that the opportunity to speak with Musk was the first time in 10 years that she had been allowed a platform to say her piece without interruption from a media world that, she said, was biased against her.

While the two touched on policy, agreeing that Germany's decision to exit nuclear power was "crazy" and that immigration was out of control, they were more animated when discussing abstract matters.

'Hitler was a communist'            <---------  NOT, in no fucking way is that true.

Asked by Musk to dispel any concerns that her party might be similar to Hitler's Nazis, Weidel said the genocidal dictator "was a communist" whereas hers was a "conservative libertarian" party.

"The biggest success (of other parties) after that terrible era in our history was to label Adolf Hitler as right and conservative. He was exactly the opposite. He wasn't a conservative, he wasn't a libertarian. He was a communist socialist guy," she said.

Almost all historians agree that Hitler, an eliminationist nationalist, was of the far-right.

Musk has defended his right to weigh in on German politics because of his "significant investments," namely Tesla's TSLA.O first European plant, and has praised the AfD's approach to regulation, taxes and market deregulation.

Musk recalled the bureaucratic hurdles that confronted him in opening the German Tesla plant.

"I think it was 25,000 pages was our permit. And it had to be all printed on paper," Musk said. "And then there has to be many, many copies made. So it literally was a truck of paper."

Last August, Musk held a similar talk with Trump, who has since tasked the entrepreneur with leading a drive to make U.S. government more efficient.

Weidel led the second half of the conversation, inviting Musk to explain his vision for peace in Ukraine, the colonisation of Mars and the concept of God. On the latter two points, Musk was forthcoming, but he declined to be drawn on Ukraine, saying a settlement was a matter for Trump.

On energy, Musk backed Germany's renewable ambitions but agreed with Weidel that turning off the nuclear power plants was a bad idea.

"When I saw that Germany was turning off the power plants after being cut off from gas supplies from Russia, I thought ... this is one of the craziest things I've ever seen," he said.

Leaders across Europe have expressed alarm over Musk's political activities in recent days, with some urging the EU to use its laws more robustly to guard the continent's democracies from outside influence.

The European Commission has said it will look at the discussion as part of its ongoing probe into X and possible violations of its Digital Services Act for potentially giving preferential treatment to "certain types of content."
