As Elon Musk continues to take over and wind down parts of the federal bureaucracy, establishment figures from across media and politics are growing increasingly resentful of the tech entrepreneur. If you read a national newspaper, turn on a major news channel, or tune into one of the establishment’s many late-night “satire” shows, you’re bound to see Musk getting mocked and criticized relentlessly.
He’s framed as a rich person using government to get even richer and as a political operative willing to skirt rules and norms to get what he wants. Many establishment types also like to remind their audience Musk is “unelected” at any chance they get—a not-so-subtle suggestion that the actions he’s taking in DC right now are illegitimate.
You’ll also hear Musk and his team criticized for conducting some of their work in secret. And then there’s, of course, the swipe that’s become popular in the wake of his gutting of USAID: that he is willing to hurt poor people to make himself better off.
Setting aside the many flaws and inaccuracies with these characterizations of Elon Musk, it’s worth noting that all of them apply even more accurately to the American political establishment itself.
To start, “rich people using the government to benefit themselves” has defined the American political system for more than a century. As Murray Rothbard laid out in great detail in his book The Progressive Era, the transition from the laissez-faire, hyper-limited government system of the mid-1800s was not driven by the bottom-up plea to protect workers and keep food clean that we were taught about in elementary school. It grew out of the recognition among the heads of industry that they could much more effectively protect their market share from smaller competitors and go on to expand it if they used the power of government for their own benefit. In other words, the key to staying on top switched from innovating to lobbying.
That started with railroad companies in the late 1800s but quickly grew to include industrial farmers, healthcare providers, and bankers in the early 1900s, followed by weapons companies, Wall Street firms, and many others in the second half of the century.
Today, virtually all the giant corporations that dominate these industries owe their positions to government policies set up in their favor—to the detriment of the American public.
The modern political establishment is defined by their willingness and ability to protect and expand this dynamic. It is laughable to hear them falsely criticize Musk for doing the same thing.
The same goes for his supposed violation of constitutional rules and norms. Many of the loudest establishment voices condemning this behavior were cheering just as loudly as the George Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama administrations launched dozens of undeclared wars, conducted warrantless surveillance, used torture, carried out extrajudicial assassinations on American citizens, and provided aid and comfort to Al Qaeda.
At the very least, these are explicit violations of Article 1, Section 8; Article 3, Section 3; and the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution, as well as Section 2340A of Title 18 of the United States Code.
And during the covid pandemic, the political establishment took the exact same kind of approach they’re now criticizing Musk for conducting. Federal and state governments rushed to close businesses, schools, and churches and prohibit people from attending public gatherings—all without even pretending to care about the constitutional rules and norms they’re now feigning concern about.
Next, the implication that what Musk is doing is illegitimate because he’s unelected is ridiculous. Not only was it made very clear to voters before the election that Musk would do this if Trump won, virtually the entire federal workforce that the establishment is trying to protect from Musk is unelected too. The millions of unelected officials who conduct the bulk of federal government operations were brought on and set to work without even a fraction of the transparency and publicity involved in Trump’s appointment of Elon Musk.
Speaking of transparency, it’s comical that a political class that classifies an estimated fifty million documents a year—ninety percent of which are “probably unnecessary” according to some establishment legal experts—is voicing disgust over Musk’s team’s occasional use of discretion.
Finally, it is appalling to hear the American political establishment criticize Elon Musk for his supposed willingness to hurt the poor and vulnerable to make himself better off. That is essentially all these people have done the entire time they’ve been in power. Over a century of government meddling in crucially important industries has made it harder for the poorest Americans to afford food, education, housing, healthcare services, and medications.
Federal policies have discouraged sensible financial decisions like saving while encouraging riskier investments with politically-connected firms—just as other policies drive Americans to adopt a tragically unhealthy diet to the benefit of well-connected food, healthcare, and drug companies.
And then, of course, there are the wars launched by the political establishment across the Middle East, North Africa, and now Eastern Europe. These wars have raked in trillions of dollars for weapons companies and other contractors. But they have also killed millions of people and destroyed tens of millions of lives across these regions.
Understanding who the political establishment really is and what they have done makes it clear that the principles they are pretending to have when denouncing Elon Musk are fake.
The establishment’s problem with Elon Musk is not that he’s willing to upend norms and test or break rules. They have shown an enthusiastic willingness to do so themselves.
The establishment’s problem with Elon Musk is, put simply, that he is threatening some of their power. And to them, that is unacceptable.
Oh, actually I saw a nice thing today, a Vance discourse in Muniche. Maybe, as Pal says, this is just a play, but yet, I judge what I see, and I like what I saw.
Back to my kitty and doggy vids.
Well Raksha, I liked how calm and even tempered the three parents were, although I felt the older daughter didn’t necessarily appear too happy.
She will figure her orientation when she starts forming her first crush!
The husband’s looked just silly to me, my life is a garden party silly.
I don’t believe in offering very young children excess choice, such as 20 different breakfast options, etc, so, for me, that extends to gender.
I wouldn’t send death threats, either, though. Hopefully it all works out well for the kids🙏🏻
Life is strange, Interesting video! Thanks Raksha 😁
♥️💎
Oh, common. For the record I have nothing against transgenderism. I know some people can feel a lot of pain. I am not sure cutting body parts is the answer but who am I to judge ? I know someone who said his/her life was saved thanks to that…But please, “my 2y old is inter-gender and my 10y old is non-binary”, just let the children out of it…
Yes, agreed, Raksha, it’s too much to burden children with.
But I couldn’t help but like how not angry they were! So I couldn’t feel too harshly.
The eldest girl is clearly a girl. The little girl, is clearly a girl.
Is this the part, where I say I think they’re projecting rejecting gender, onto the kids?
💎💞🤔
They may look calm, for now, until the infamous shit hits the fan. They are not a healthy family. And the poor kids will have a lot of work to do…
Ok, one last rant, but how is it so that pedophilia is so wide spread ? Ok, I know it’s used as blackmail, and a test of sort for high level people to climb the ranks, but how are so many people enjoying fucking a child while he screams and bleed ?
And while all of that is in public record, people in France debate about the budget suggested by the new prime minister who will be gone soon enough. And people debate about if we should have a debate to debate about immigration policies. Ok, I’m off, a good long night sleep, I need.
I want to rant. I don’t know everything. But I konw that our leaders and celebrities are up for no good. I have been into this for more than 20 years. So many things are becoming mainstream now, and yet…. I am starting to get pissed of at the normies. Some people just won’t ever understand.
And we can disagree on the details. Maybe Pal is right and the Dark ones are still in control of the binary system. Maybe they are not so much in control anymore. Maybe this, or maybe that. But FFS, how can people still be so dumb ? How can people still trust the mainstream medias or politicians ?
Sorry for the rant. I am getting tired.
Like, french first minister was just caughed shielding a pedo scandal. Beyonce’s husband just made a pyramid symbol at the superbowl. Macron is exposed as being groomed by the Rothschilds since birth…. Yeah, I guess I have to mark a pause about news for the time being, it’s no good if I get pissed of.
Get pissed off, Raksha
The Santorini’s earthquakes are shaking, and lighties are pissed off. Feel it!
I feel very disgusted with my outcome in life, bottom line.
F*cking Pal has a 5 D flipping TICKET in his mf hand, as he RUNS for 3 d, the only thing his idiotic self knows!
As a FOOL, myself, I’m qualified to call him a FOOL. FOOL! THINK, FOOL. If you can…so bound by the external.
So smart, he’s stupid.
For the moment, I’ve had it with his abuse of_fondest_gang_ members, and am saying it, too.
Am I in a mood? Yes.
So feel disgusted, Raksha, it’s planetary energy flowing you, and me, and the others.
Love Ya, Raksha, and chain gang members ♥️💎💞
I know I can count on you for ranting, or just… being authentic. Or just… caring about me ranting. Thanks.
Another rant. When KJ does a questionnary or something, almost 1000 people or more answer, yet we are only just talking between ourselves, less than a dozen of us. Most people just post their shit and move on, they don’t care about reading or answering to others, and most of them just care about virtue-signaling… that is why I like Pal’ for one thing. Although I agree with you that he is too smart and aware for his own good…. Not to say that I am in a better better right now… I am not.
#1, Raksha, you are better, because you are enjoyable. And flexible, and open….and, since you reply to me, and are French …💞😁👍
And knowing none are perfect, excellent!
#2, yes, I care about Pal. He’s in the now, so not just an old, angry father energy, not just DL working out her wounded inner child crap on some commentor.
I do pray he lets go of an old tirade, and live for real on new earth, with his family.
Agreed, he doesn’t dump a comment and move on forever, we have all connected with him♥️. He always leaves a fully formed comment, no virtue signal.
Yes, I’m feeling the need to rant, and sending high energy to your rants😇
Too many, comment and forget, come out of the woodwork for one question, from Kejraj, and vanish.
Who was it that retired last year, not fulford, the other one, and dozens of strangers cried, and bade farewell… who were they??? Gone.
Haha, I’m good for a rant, or two. This is a pretty small club, it seems 😆😂😂💎💞

Good thing that nature is not just about Komodo dragons, and can remind us at times about the most important things.
Well, I posted a cute thing, far removed from the Komodo dragons, but this density doesn’t like cute things, I’ll try again.

Loved it, Raksha

What is disturbing is the poor goat didn’t even try and run. It just waited there to be consumed.
https://youtu.be/LHLeHYKRIUw?feature=shared
I am shocked. Should not have watched it.
It to me is symbolic in a way of the way we humans lay down to be consumed by these dark entities, be they Draco Reptilians or whatever. We are like the Eloi that are the food for the Morlock from the HG Wells Time Machine novel.
I needed to exorcize that most shocking video from my mind. I remembered watching a vid about a lioness hunting, and she got a just new-borned Calf. The cub took it for her mother, the lioness did not have it in her to kill him. I can’t find it but I found a similar scene, the lion even go as far as to protect it from another lion. I don’t want to project too much here, but reptiles sure have cold blood. That’s the most basic part of our brain.
I’ve seen that video. The calf did not have anything the Lioness could even eat, so she spared it.
I don’t think so Pal. Lions can go hungry for days, they are not picky. I think it was the mammal instinct that kicked off. Why would ould she even fight another lion ?
Actually I think that’s a lonely male.
I love that video. My own dog is as sweet and gentle as can be. He loves everyone he meets.
💎♥️
Very enjoyable, Pal 😌
LOL, I think I’d better take back my unsolicited advice, Pal!
Good day to you 😂💎
My apologies for the ranting Pal😆
I wonder, have you ever considered a news “fast”?
For me, it’s sugar. I cut back, and then it creeps back in. Since I crave sugar, its influence on me is a never ending cycle.
I don’t retain too many news details, but I sure can retain a calorie…
😁💎
My own dog is super protective with my cats, when other cats come around, but she can be a bit cheeky with them as well. She is jealous 🙂
I have a Sheltie. He’s a big boy for a Sheltie, about 40lbs, more like a small Collie. He’s as faithful a friend I’ve ever known.
Oh, I checked on the net (not the same name in french). Looks like a friendly dog. I have an Akita, it’s a primitive race who has a bad reputation, but my dog is very gentle.
Hmm…maybe. Maybe we can experience our own reality tunnels that overlap and intertwine with everyone else. Maybe co-create our unique experience based on our desires, fears, and vibration. I’m guessing a fear of yours is he will “deliver the world into slavery.” Well sorry to say but we are there already. We have been slaves for a very long time. Are we breaking out of it or moving into it? I know what I choose. 🙂
Currently they employ a level of slavery that gives you just enough freedom to create the illusion of being free. They plan to take that to a whole new level whereby humans will literally be their livestock. You will have a Jewish owner who can do with you as he wishes. This is their dream, their prophecy.
This is absurd. Elon Musk is a fraudulent genius. He has been made by the powers that be, not self made. He is every bit the globalist psychopath of any WEFer.
Trump his alleged boss is the gentile messiah for the Jews who will usher in the Jewsish anti-Christ and deliver the world into slavery and every Jews will have thousands of slaves at their disposal.
I’m not saying I believe this, but the Jews who control America and the West believe this and that is what they are working towards.
It’s quite clear Trump is Israel first. If you can’t see that, I’m sorry, you are blind.
He is owned by Jews.
Then why isn’t Jewish media supporting them?
Too much? Sorry, I’ll try a less complicated question next time.
Gee, I’m sorry I could not answer you in a time frame that satisfied your need for urgency. Most of us are not lonely old Boomers whose life hinges on being a smart ass on EOL comments. And since you’re off your meds and being you, I’m not going to take the time to give you a serious reply.
Now please, go back to smearing your own excrement on the wall and hopefully a large Black gentleman in white will pick you up and slap you around, then throw you in the shower and strap you down to your gurney for the evening.
Stop spitting your pills out.
Suit yourself, but it’s a legitimate question and answering it patiently would probably help other ‘blind’ people who you are less biased against.
By disengaging from the left/right paradigm, which is why I have warned against this idolatry for Trump. Whenever I point out any uncomfortable truth about Trump his worshippers immediately have this knee jerk reaction: “I’m sorry your candidate Kamala lost” “too bad you lost you commie”. They can’t conceive they are being misled.
For them it’s a very simple binary choice: if you don’t worship Trump you are a woke liberal Democrat.
Okay, not all Jewish or Jewish heavily influenced media is against him. Fox News loves their Trump. Now I know Rupert Murdoch is not Jewish, but Fox news is heavily staffed with Jews and sensitive to Jewish financial pressure. Newsmax loves them some Trump, and Christopher Ruddy is not a Jew, but he may as well be. Heavily financed by them he is an ardent Zionist. All of the legacy media companies whether outright Jewish owned or not bow to their financial control. They always back both sides. They create and control both sides, but both sides never go against Jewish interests. State Street and Vanguard the two largest Jewish run investment firms influence every media company.
In the alternative media you have the Daily Mail and Ben Shapiro backing Trump.
So not all Jewish media is against Trump, certainly not the Jewish media in Israel.
Also, have you not considered the fact that all the legacy MSM attacks on Trump have only made him stronger?
They will lead the enemy to defeat.
Exactly. And how to you defeat an enemy who has been playing both sides from the start?

Well, pointing only uncomfortable truths is a bias in itself… Most reactions you get from it seem to be ‘covertly’ directed against that bias, not the actual facts about Trump.
If you said “Boy, I’m sure happy that Kamala didn’t win or we would be far worse than with the orange buffoon’, I’m sure that many you currently call ‘worshippers’ would not care at all.
As for the actual battle strategy; focusing in Trump IS an attempt to avoid the left/right paradigm, it is not less valid than focusing in a Jew/Not-Jew paradigm. But the answer is: you must also be playing both sides from the start.
I admit his stance on Israel is perplexing. Yet, we have never seen so much transparency and truths coming forward at such a rapid pace. And I like it. We’ll see.
I don’t think there is anything perplexing about his fanatic support if Israel. He took 100 million dollars from billionaire Jew Miriam Adelson, who is an Israeli dual citizen. Altogether, Trump took in 230 million through other sources of funneled Jewish money.
He’s been thick as thieves with them his whole life, from the Kushners, to Roy Cohn, Carl Icahn, Jeffrey Epstein etc.
His daughter married Chabad Lubovitch Jared Kushner.
Their religion is based upon Jewish Supremacy.
One thing I can say about Jews is they always do what is good for Jews. They are cohesive.
Also, the fact that Musk is so widely hated and demonished, is a good hint in my eyes, that he is doing some good. Soros, Gates and co, were always supported by the MSM. I am not sure it’s possible to become the official richest man without dirtying one’s hands though, i am not even sure if Musk is Musk. The reality behind the curtain is so crazy. But whatever Trump and Musk are doing, and whatever their motivations, the cat will not get back into the bag.
Indeed. I still like the rule of thumb that says: “if the media tells you to like them they’re a black hat, and if the media tells you to hate them they’re a gray hat.”
If a right winger actually is a deep state puppet, then the media treats them like George Bush or Jeb Bush or Mitt Romney. Namely, as someone who might be wrong on a few issues but who is still fundamentally a respectable American.
And it’s pretty obvious that Trump and Elon are doing some things that the deep state really doesn’t like, such as withdrawing the US from the WHO + Paris climate accord, exposing USAID, taking steps to secure the border, and making twitter / X a bit less censored. And there may be additional things that I’m missing.
At the same time, there’s absolutely stuff that Trump and Musk are doing that I’m not going to defend, such as (but not limited to) Trump’s submission to Israel. In fact, Netanyahu recently said to Trump: “I’ve said this before. I’ll say it again. You are the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the white house.” Source: https://youtu.be/UfoF-aHQlxk?t=162
Hence, “gray hat”.
As I said, don’t watch Trump’s hand that is moving, watch his other hand with a card up his sleeve. Don’t listen to what Trump says, pay attention to what he does.
Most Trumpers admit that nothing was done to remedy the voter fraud that went on in 2020, and yet somehow they think Trump was elected this time because they voted harder. The deep state allowed Trump’s election. They just did not employ the voter fraud they did in 2020. Trump was every bit a selection as was Biden in 2020.
Would they have preferred a cackling, drunken Kamala Harris? I believe they would have, however, they made a tactical decision that Trump better served their plans. Remember, Democrat/Republican antipodal politics are an illusion. The Jewish Bankers control both sides. They needed Trump to fulfill their plans. If you want to go to war for Israel you need sturdy young White boys to fill the combat ranks. You were not going to get them enlisting with Kamala as POTUS. In fact, I believe, they calculated there would be a hot war uprising with a Kamala as POTUS. Now with Trump in office farm boys from Iowa and Arkansas are lining up to die. Recruiting has skyrocketed since December. Americans would not tolerate their sons being drafted by Kamala to fight another Middle Eastern war, with the Cult of Trump they will line up to die and be maimed. Their lives don’t matter, they’re Goyim, unclean beasts, animals. Only Jews are human the Talmud tells us.
I also believe your litmus test is a false one. If the media is for someone they’re black hats? Has it ever occurred to you they deliberately destroyed the credibility of the MSM by parading these degenerate lunatics with TDS in a non-stop attack against Trump to build him up? The more they attacked him with media personalities that are repugnant to Americans who believe in 2 genders and family and normalcy the stronger Trump became.
Yes, they’re instructing Trump to go after low hanging fruit like illegals, DEI, Transexuals in the military, government fraud waste and abuse etc…all these things are a minor concession and will not derail their plans. Is Trump going deport all the 10’s of millions of invaders? No, he is not. He would have to hire a million man army of ICE agents to accomplish that. 7500 illegals deported in a month is not even scratching the surface. Trump would have to deport 28k invaders a day to make any real progress at removing illegals. He does not have the manpower to do that. He has not stated any intention of creating such an army. In a few months it will be business as usual with the subsumation of America by invaders. It’s a feint, a head fake, a misdirection.
His real goal is to put American boots on the ground in Gaza for the purpose of ethnic cleansing. The real boss of America, Benjamin Netanyahu, gave Trump his orders. Trump intends to remove the 1.8 million Palestinians from their homeland and resettle them in Egypt or Jordan. He says why would they want to stay there with all the death and destruction, it’s a horrible place. He speaks as if it was always a pile of rubble without mentioning Israel bombed Gaza to dust with American supplied money, planes and bombs. He also intends to build a beautiful beach resort area in Gaza after the Palestinians are ethnically cleansed for the residents of the area. Who will that be once the Palestinians are killed off and removed? Why the Jews of course. It truly is amazing in the weasel speak Trump has been engaging in.
His top priority is to put American troops on the ground in Gaza to do all the heavy lifting for Israel. This will incur heavy casualties, but why should God’s chosen people die in this operation when they can get American Goyim to do it for them. Jews make terrible soldiers anyhow. They are and always have been cowards.
Then he will commence building Israel a beautiful beach resort that he intends to spend a lot of American tax dollars on.
Trump is a black hat. He is a monster, a genocidal Gollum the Jews have created to do their bidding.
One other thing, AS, do you support Eva Vlaardingerbroek, who advocates the right of the Dutch people to have their own country of the Dutch people, by the Dutch people and for the Dutch people? That Holland can be a nation that works in the interests of the Dutch people without the treasonous Dutch government flooding the country with violent invaders from the Middle East and Africa who want free housing, money and the unfettered right to rape Dutch women and murder Dutch children?
Or do you love Holland’s wonderful forced diversity?
Oh, and if anyone is an undercover Pleiadean agent it would have to be Eva Vlaardingerbroek. She is really easy on the eyes.
Easy on the eyes indeed. I did not now her.
About the rest, let see if the Eipstein declass will serve the Jews interests.
Also, Pal’ you have an interesting common point with the jews. You both like to label some groups of people as animals.
No Raksha, I think you misunderstood. I’m not calling anybody an animal. I pointed out that the Jews consider all Gentiles animals, less than human. Please re-read my post.
You called the immigrants animals on several other posts, but whatever.
Let’s stick to this post then if you don’t mind, how am I to know you are referring to old posts. And as to other posts, am I to love up these invaders to America and Europe that are economic interlopers commiting horrible crimes against the rightful inhabitants of the country like knifing women and children in the streets? So an African or Arab butchers an English women and several children in broad daylight and I’m the bad guy for calling him an animal.
I call bullshit on that.
I’m no luv bunny.
Alright. I should have been more clear to begin with that I was not referencing your latest message.
And I am not blaming you for being disgusted with the behavior of some migrants, I was just noting an interesting parallel.
I forgot AS, Trump is dead and this is a Doppelganger, someone who looks exactly like Trump, sounds like Trump, has all his affectation including his chronic Palilalia and is agreeing to play the part of Trump. Or is it a clone, I forget?
I could easier accept a clone than a Doppelganger. How did Hakann find someone who looks, acts and speaks like Donald Trump? Did they run ads all over the internet and hold auditions?
You are full of crap Palidin. You will live to eat your words. Hope you get what you deserve. I have been awake my entire life and as such I know a Cabal/Satanist by their stench. You sir, would not know the truth of a situation if it sat on your oblong shaped head.
I don’t believe in your Orange God therfore I’m a Satanist. Usually Trump disciples call me a commie or a lefty for such heresy, but Satanist works. Pray to the Great Orange One for more folds in your cerebral cortex.
He is not orange, he just coughed in the Tiramisu 😉
Oh, and Pal, don’t do to others what you don’t like what they do to you. The contrary of the contrary is not necesarilly what they meant. You can’t blame others calling you a Kamala fan if you disagree, and yet calling them an orange fan if they disagree.
I disagree. This guy is a whole different level of Trump worshipper. He’s more than likely a “Q” cultist, based on his bombastic rhetoric, he knows a Satanist when he sees one etc.
With these people you either worship Trump as God, or you are an evil Cabal member. It’s right in his words, what more do you need?
