WHOA! DOGE Makes Three Major Findings Regarding Unemployment Benefits Fraud, Including One Discovery That Left Elon Musk Shocked: “So Crazy I Had to Read It Several Times”

by Cullen Linebarger Apr. 10, 2025 9:30 am

*** begin quote ***

An initial survey of Unemployment Insurance claims since 2020 revealed the following:

– 24.5k people over 115 years old claimed $59M in benefits

– 28k people between 1 and 5 years old claimed $254M in benefits

– 9.7k people with birth dates over 15 years in the future claimed $69M in benefits

In one case, someone with a birthday in 2154 claimed $41k.

*** end quote ***

Time to end that program.

Or at least reduce eligibility.  Why should “everyone” be eligible?  Maybe a “poor” person with a low paying job should get some “help”.  But that’s NOT what’s happening.

If someone filed a tax return in the past year, then they should be planning on their own.

USA Fencing Defends Punishing Female Athlete for Refusing to Face Trans Opponent

Warner Todd Huston  —  4 Apr 2025

*** begin quote ***

USA Fencing is deending itself over its policy of including transgender fencers in the women’s category and for punishing a female athlete for refusing to face a trans opponent.

The fencing organization is defending itself after fencer Stephanie Turner took a knee and refused to compete during a match with transgender opponent Redmond Sullivan last weekend.

USA Fencing immediately disqualified Turner, who had kicked her out of the tournament.

I wonder who funds USA funding?  If it gets any from my taxes, then I hope it gets “DOGE-ed”.

It seems like the woke LGBTQ mafia has infiltrated all sorts of organizations.

Argh! Sigh!

RANT: Lotto tries to welch on a winning ticket

Mystery winner of whopping $83.5M lottery may never see her money — due to a sudden technicality

By Isabel Keane   —  Published March 25, 2025, 9:53 a.m. ET

*** begin quote ***

A Texas woman with a winning $83.5 million lottery ticket may never get her mega payout because officials are investigating the app she used.

The woman, who has not been publicly identified, bought $20 worth of Texas Lotto tickets for the Feb. 17 drawing on the app Jackpocket — a lottery courier service state lawmakers are now trying to ban.

*** end quote ***

Why is the Gooferment involved in gambling in the first place?

And, if the “courier service” is a legal business now, what’s the problem?

Will the State refund all the tickets purchased thru the app?

I don’t think so.

And, economics experts have all pointed out that these State run games are a tax on the poor.  As well as provide lucrative “jobs” for Gooferment bureaucrats.

Like so many other things run by the Gooferment, the private sector could do it better and give the players a better prompter payout.

Argh!

RANT: “Climate change” is a ruse for Communist revolution

Sunday, March 23, 2025

https://mailchi.mp/tomwoods/extinction?e=39307912abhttps://mailchi.mp/tomwoods/extinction?e=39307912ab

FROM TOM WOODS’ EMAIL LETTER

*** begin quote ***

Here’s an insight you get as you grow older:

When revolutionary lunatics demand this or that crazy thing, they’re rarely motivated by this or that crazy thing. They’re motivated by a much bigger goal, and these lesser things are simply how they get there.

For instance:

The “climate change” people, who inanely blame every weather-related development on “climate change” (even when we have the charts showing that weather phenomenon X has actually been on the decline) and who demand radical changes to human life that will mean the decimation of the developing world and the impoverishment of the middle classes in the developed world, are not in fact motivated by climate change.

If they were, they’d say: we don’t care for the politics of Elon Musk, but his company is doing so much to help us reach our goal. So his good deeds in the private sector must in our calculus vastly outweigh the costs of what he does in government.

And yet, what a surprise: that isn’t what they say.

Matt Walsh is absolutely right [warning for delicate eyes: there’s a bad word in this paragraph]:

Elon Musk has done more than any single human on Earth to promote and propagate “green” alternatives. He has one of the largest electric vehicle companies on the planet. By the Left’s climate change logic, he has saved millions of lives and prevented untold number of hurricanes, tornadoes, and other catastrophes. If they took their climate change bullshit seriously at all, they would celebrate him as an environmental hero. They would happily overlook the MAGA stuff because he is — again, by their logic — doing more than anyone else to save the globe. But of course they don’t actually believe in any of that climate stuff or care about it at all, which is why they’re in the process of trying to destroy one of the greenest companies in the world.

I was especially struck by this recent testimony by a former member of Extinction Rebellion, a lunatic group founded in the UK:

I was in Extinction Rebellion for several years. I produced over 60 videos for them and helped with several protests.

I can tell you directly: It was never about the climate. It was about controlling you. 

Specifically, it was about mobilising 3.5% of the population into permanent revolutionary protest in order to trigger a Communist revolution. (Per Trotsky, Sharp, Hallam, Mao)

This was told to me directly by some of the leaders of the organisation. I tried to organise some programs to help businesses lower their carbon footprints without lowering profit margins or impacting the GDP, and I was told in no uncertain terms that *solutions* were counter to the goals of the movement and that I should stop.

It was then that I started to realise their true motives, and understand that perhaps I was being taken for a ride.

I learned that Communist countries have had some of the WORST environmental records in existence. What XR was proposing — degrowth, agitation, “decolonisation,” post-capitalism and every other agitprop buzzword — would effectively drop civilisation back to a pre-renewable era and force developing nations into a protracted industrial age, leading to ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more carbon emissions than the incremental improvements found by market innovations.

Population density is a critical function of renewable energy infrastructure. You don’t have a factory. You have a market ecosystem. That’s how technology works. It blew my mind that they didn’t understand this.

After years of pushing against fossil fuels, they were suddenly vehemently opposed to Elon Musk and his EVs. It was mind boggling to witness.

I realised that Musk had singlehandedly done more to reduce emissions than the entire climate activist movement combined. And it’s not close. Mentioning this, I was met with bewilderment and anger.

It was very hard to come away from that experience with much sympathy for the activist left movement. At their best they were devoid of ideas and completely incapable of making meaningful technological or engineering innovations. At their worst, they were actively working against their own stated goals in order to maximise agitation and mobilise discontent toward a destructive revolutionary movement that would ultimately lead to measurably worse outcomes.

Applying Occam’s Razor, it became apparent to me that the goal is Communist revolution, and all these random causes — climate, gender relativism, immigration, BLM, defunding police, Islamisation etc etc etc weren’t about triumphing over injustices, but about agitating blocs of useful idiots into a perpetual state of protest in order to seize power and control in the name of Marxist Revolution.

I thought they were creators and visionaries. I was wrong.

True change comes from the builders.

Yes there are problems on this earth, but they’ll only be solved by you tackling those problems, building useful things and helping to push the species forward.

If you’re smart enough to contribute, you belong amongst the builders.

Although the rest of it rings true, I’m skeptical of the “communist revolution” stuff. These are not the (equally idiotic) doctrines of Marx, which none of these alleged revolutionaries have read anyway. The causes these people champion would have been dismissed as bourgeois decadence by old-time communists. Try championing homosexuality within the US Communist Party during the Cold War, for example, and see what would have happened to you.

*** end quote ***

I was stunned when I read this.   “Climate change” is ruse to cover for the destruction of society,  Always knew it was “Barbara Streisand”  — bull <synonym for excrement>  —  but I thought, at first, it was just a bunch of folks who never studied history.  Then, when the fudging and distortion of measurement became common knowledge, I suspect it was just a cash grab from the various public treasuries and rich idiots.  This article made e believe that it is an organized communist rebellion to destroy society.  Now, I’ll still be polite to the useful idiots, but not so much to the “leaders” of this subterfuge.

RANT: If Germany’s foreign intelligence agency knew that COVID-19 was from a lab leak, then the USA knew it too

Germany Knew About COVID Lab Leak Early in 2020 But Hid Evidence From Public

  • Germany’s foreign intelligence agency determined with 80%-95% certainty in 2020 that the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic originated with a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China — but successive governments kept the information “under lock and key,” according to a German investigative report published Wednesday.

Germany’s foreign intelligence agency, the BND, determined with 80%-95% certainty in 2020 that the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic originated with a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China — but successive governments kept the information “under lock and key,” according to a German investigative report.

The report, published jointly on Wednesday by Die Zeit and Süddeutsche Zeitung, was the result of an 18-month investigation.

The investigation found that in 2020, then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel commissioned a BND operation code-named “Project Saaremaa” that targeted Chinese agencies and research institutions.

When the BND’s investigation concluded that a Wuhan lab leak was the most likely source of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Merkel government prohibited the spy agency from releasing its results to the public.

If Germany’s foreign intelligence agency knew that COVID-19 was from a lab leak, then the USA knew it too!

If so, then how can we believe ANYTHING they said.  And the whole “plandemic” with the “it’s not really a vaccine” by Big Pharma was a fraud.

Argh!

Some people and corporations should be held to account.

RANT: Still need to expose the facts around Fauci and the role of NIH in Wuhan

Why Joe Biden Had To Pardon Anthony Fauci

Why Joe Biden Had To Pardon Anthony Fauci – LewRockwell
By Connor O’Keeffe Mises.org
January 25, 2025

*** begin quote ***

A federal investigation would have all but forced the media to revisit many of Fauci’s unseemly actions, failures, and possible crimes. That would have been uncomfortable for a political establishment that has embraced and celebrated Fauci for decades.

But the real danger of a high-profile Fauci investigation, from the political class’s perspective, would come if the public started to ask themselves why a bureaucrat with such a long track record of failure was embraced and celebrated by those in power. And why he enjoyed so much professional success before retiring with a net worth of more than $11 million.

Such questions could lead people to consider that maybe the decades of mistakes that transferred hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to public health agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and the crony healthcare system as a whole were not mistakes after all. That, perhaps, the federal public health apparatus is nothing more than a racket and that officials are professionally rewarded, not for keeping us safe, but for protecting and expanding that racket.

*** end quote ***

I am for turning over all the “rocks” and see what scandals “crawl out into the sunshine”.  I’d start by getting low-level aides and secretaries in front of grad juries, immunize them, and just ask questions.  I don’t want “lawfare” on regular people who just were doing their jobs for bad people.  I want “the truth”!

“Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.” Colonel Jessep in A Few Good Men played by Jack Nicholson

I really do.  

We need to understand what happened so as to prevent it from happening again.

Vatican Cracks Down on Illegal Entry Into Its Territory
Almudena Martínez-Bordiú, Catholic News Agency, January 15, 2025

*** begin quote ***

The Vatican City State has toughened sanctions for those who try to illegally enter its territory in areas where free access is not allowed.

In a decree issued last month by the Holy See, the monetary sanctions and prison sentences for those who violate the strict security regulations of Vatican City have been considerably increased.

The document, signed by Cardinal Fernando Vérguez Alzaga, president of the Pontifical Commission for Vatican City State, provides for monetary fines ranging from 10,000 to 25,000 euros (about $10,200 to $25,700) and prison sentences ranging from one to four years.

RANT: And now we all know why  Pfizer wanted the data hidden for 75 years!

Pfizer’s secret documents reveal that their COVID vaccine actually made you 8.7% more likely to get COVID

  • Buried in the documents that Pfizer wanted hidden from public view for 75 years there was a table that revealed that their vaccine actually had negative efficacy.

Steve Kirsch

Jan 08, 2025

*** begin quote ***

Pfizer tested all participants in their Phase 3 trial for N-antibodies. The results were kept hidden from the public. It was only through court order that we finally know what the results were.

Do you think they would have kept this data secret from the public if it showed good news? Heck no!

The table showed that Pfizer only had around 50% protection if you just take the table at face value. But if you interpret the table correctly, it shows Pfizer had negative efficacy.

*** end quote ***

And now we all know why  Pfizer wanted the data hidden for 75 years!

It ain’t because it showed why we needed their “vaccine”.

I’d like some heads on pikes!  From Pfizer, the Gooferment bureaucrats, and the politicians. Pfizer has immunity from damage suits by Federal diktat.  But DJT47 can make that go away FOREVER.

My biggest concern is what I call the “thalidomide effect” where side effects aren’t known for generations later.  Argh!

I think it’s time for public trials.  And, Pfizer should be give a corporate “death sentence”.   Like Enron, their stock value should go to zero.  If nothing else, 100% corporate tax on all past profits from this pseudo-vaccine.  

Argh!
