March 25, 2025 - 1500+ “Zombie Programs”, over 8% of federal budget spending at $516 billion, is unauthorized

(Credit: Survive The News graphic)

In 1974, Congress created the Legal Services Corporation to connect lower-income Americans involved in civil disputes with free legal help. The law that established the agency stipulated that authorization for its funding would expire in 1980, when lawmakers were required to vote on whether to keep it alive.

They never did. Still, Congress has funded LSC every year since. In fiscal 2025, its 51st year, LSC’s 135 employees will spend 95% of its now $560 million annual budget paying legal groups to represent Americans in cases such as eviction, domestic violence, and disputes over government benefits, according to Ron Flagg, the agency’s president since 2020.

“LSC would welcome reauthorization,” Flagg said. “We haven’t hidden from it. Every budget cycle, we go through an exhaustive process before Congress appropriates funds — dozens of meetings with leaders of both parties. We demonstrate our return on investment, how we help 2 million Americans get life-saving legal help.”

The Legal Services Corp. now stands as America’s oldest “Zombie” program, but it’s far from unique. At a time when the Trump administration is moving aggressively to scale back government, including eliminating the entire Education Department, it’s sobering to note that 1,503 agencies or programs live on despite expired authorizations, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Another 155 will expire on Sept. 30. The Zombies, nearly half of which have been officially dead for more than a decade, persist in a budgetary netherworld. In a deep dive last year, CBO analysts were able to find dollar amounts for 491 of the programs, with total expenditures of $516 billion. They don’t know how much funding the other programs received.

The total federal budget in 2024 was $6.8 trillion, meaning expired Zombie programs take up at least 8% of the budget, and likely much more.

“A lot of programs don’t get reauthorized because Congress is okay with how they’re operating,” said Josh Huder, former congressional staffer now at the Georgetown University Government Affairs Institute. “They continue to get annual appropriations because most members think they’re worthwhile.”

Many Zombie programs now soak up far more funding than lawmakers originally envisioned. The Federal Election Commission, for example, was expected to spend $9.4 million per year before its authorization expired in 1981. Yet the agency continued to receive funding and spent $95 million in 2024, auditors at government watchdog Open The Books found. The Federal Communications Commission was originally allocated $339.6 million per year. Its funding authorization expired in 2020, yet it spent $28.4 billion last year.

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency hasn’t addressed the Zombies that are prowling the federal spreadsheets. Given DOGE’s headlong push to first root out alleged waste, fraud, and abuse and ask questions later, experts say, Zombies may offer a ripe target.

“One could imagine that if DOGE is clued into the notion of expired authorizations, they’ll think a program is defunct,” said Sarah Binder, senior fellow at Brookings and professor of political science at George Washington University. She said this would be a mistake. “If Congress is still appropriating money to the programs, they’re not Zombies. They’re living, breathing agencies.”

Binder says the fault lies not with the agencies, some of which have become important enough to be household names, but Congress. Lawmakers have made it so difficult to accomplish their most fundamental tasks, such as funding the government for another year, that they hardly ever get around to doing other important things, such as reauthorizing existing programs.

The Foreign Relations Authorization Act, for example, expired in 2003. Yet in 2024, Congress spent $38.4 billion on 24 of the law’s programs, allowing legislators to influence the White House’s foreign policy and security assistance to other nations.

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce, now led by Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-KY), supported the funding of 346 expired programs, more than any other committee, the CBO found. The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, now chaired by Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), spent more identifiable money than any other group: $153.5 billion.

March 25, 2025 - Trump orders the immediate declassification of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane files

March 26, 2025 - An example of Judge Boasberg's two-tiered justice system: Protect Hillary Clinton vs Get Trump

From The Washington Times:

Two watchdog groups, Judicial Watch and Cause of Action, had sued in 2015 demanding the government recover all of Mrs. Clinton’s emails, saying she violated open-records laws by not preserving her messages.

👉 U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg, though, said the FBI did what it could, and did manage to recover thousands of messages Mrs. Clinton didn’t return herself.

“Those efforts went well beyond the mine-run search for missing federal records … and were largely successful, save for some emails sent during a two-month stretch. Even then, the FBI pursued every imaginable avenue to recover the missing emails,” wrote Judge Boasberg, an Obama appointee to the court.

❕Originally, the case had been dismissed as moot, but last year the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia reversed that finding, ordering the government to “shake loose a few more emails.”

👉 But Judge Boasberg put an end to the shaking Thursday.

“The Court of Appeals may have asked the Government to ’shak[e] the tree harder’ for more emails, but it never suggested that the FBI must shake every tree in every forest, without knowing whether they are fruit trees,” he wrote.

The judge said the FBI had already uncovered 55,000 pages of emails when it was ordered to do more. The agency interviewed people that most frequently exchanged work related emails with Mrs.

March 26, 2025 - Former CIA director, Michael Hayden, who recently lost his security clearance, sits on board of company neck-deep in NSA tech contracts

3 parts – How the DC Swamp is Undermining @DOGE and Crushing the Will of We the People🚨

Last night, while digging into some research, I stumbled upon a chilling pattern: key contracts are vanishing from the government spending database. I found several cases, but one stands out as critical—it’s tied to Michael Hayden, ex-CIA director and one of the 51 intel officials behind the Hunter Biden laptop letter. Hayden sits on the board of Freedom Technology Solution Group LLC (FTSG), a company neck-deep in NSA tech contracts.

The pattern you’ve uncovered isn’t just alarming—it’s a textbook example of the bureaucratic rot that thrives when accountability vanishes. Michael Hayden’s ties to FTSG and its NSA contracts spotlight the revolving door between intelligence elites and contractors who profit from taxpayer-funded deals. This isn’t an isolated case. The Drain the Intelligence Community Swamp Act of 2025 (H.R. 80) directly targets Hayden and 50 others who weaponized their security clearances to manipulate narratives like the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. Their actions didn’t just mislead the public—they eroded trust in institutions meant to serve Americans, not insiders.

While H.R. 80 revokes their clearances, the deeper issue is systemic: opaque contracting, unchecked influence, and agencies prioritizing self-preservation over transparency. Real reform means dismantling these networks, auditing every dollar funneled to contractors with ties to retired officials, and ensuring public databases aren’t scrubbed to hide malfeasance. The swamp isn’t just stagnant—it’s actively sabotaging efforts to restore accountability. Until every backroom deal faces sunlight, the cycle continues.

Exposing corruption moves at the speed of sunlight—every contract audit, clearance revocation, and database leak accelerates accountability. Look at the Pentagon’s recent $1.2 billion cloud-computing deal with a contractor linked to retired NSA officials—vanished from public records after scrutiny.

Real dismantling starts with mandatory 10-year cooling-off periods for officials joining contractors, real-time spending trackers immune to bureaucratic scrubbing, and lifetime bans for those caught manipulating databases.

The swamp fights dirty, but sustained pressure collapses their schemes faster than they can rebuild them.

Blockchain’s immutable ledger would expose every dollar’s path, eliminating the bureaucratic black holes where fraud thrives. Take the $600 million in pandemic unemployment funds stolen through fake claims in one state alone—phantom recipients, duplicate payments, and shell companies drained taxpayer cash while outdated systems failed to flag it.

With blockchain, each transaction’s origin, destination, and purpose is permanently stamped and publicly traceable, making phantom contracts and vanished deals impossible to hide. Mandate real-time blockchain logging for all federal spending, pair it with AI-driven anomaly detection, and watch the swamp’s favorite scams evaporate.

No more disappearing acts—just accountability.

Accelerating blockchain adoption starts with exposing real-time failures. Take a Midwestern city’s $50 million “smart grid” upgrade—contractors billed for nonexistent sensors while officials rubber-stamped phantom invoices. Blockchain’s traceability would’ve flagged the fraud instantly.

Push Congress to mandate blockchain integration in all municipal and federal contracts, enforce real-time public dashboards, and jailtime for database tampering. Delay equals theft—sunlight kills scams faster than any audit.

March 27, 2025 - Elon Musk and DOGE team give behind the scenes review of their mission

Elon Musk and the primary members of the DOGE team gave a behind the scenes review of their mission to Fox News correspondent Bret Baier.  Elon Musk outlines how the Dept of Government Efficiency is on track to remove $1 trillion in excessive waste, fraud and abuse from the federal budget.

The team discusses just how excessive the fraud is within the federal spending programs as they outline finding after finding of federal spending that is often outrageous and stunning.  This is MUST-WATCH television.

March 28, 2025 - Loomer exposes more globalist connections to Trump's NSC; Vetting failures

TRUMP ADMIN VETTING FAILURE AT NSC EXPOSED🚨

How Donald Trump @POTUS continues to be undermined & put at risk due to a lack of vetting in his administration.

Want to see another vetting failure at the NSC which further exposes the way people with close proximity to Trump haters have been elevated to national security and intel roles in the Trump admin, despite a documented history of unethical behavior and associations?

Meet Ivan Kanapathy.

2 months ago, Ivan was selected to work under NSC Director @MikeWaltz47 as the NSC Director for Asia, where he is responsible for crafting the Trump administration’s approach to China and Taiwan. This is a top position at NSC, with direct proximity to President Trump.

Where was Kanapathy before he started working at NSC? Well, 2 months ago, he worked with former CIA officials and Democrat Trump haters Mike Morrell and Leon Panetta at Beacon Global Strategies where Kanapathy was the Senior Vice President of Beacon Global Strategies.

If those names Morell and Panetta sound familiar, it’s because they are 2 of the 51 spies who lied in an infamous intel letter in October 2020 where they, and 49 other US intel officials, falsely and deceptively penned a letter in which they said Hunter Biden’s laptop was a “Russian disinformation operation.”

We now know they all lied about the laptop, which is VERY REAL and was introduced as evidence in Hunter’s own trial, which is why President Trump has since stripped all 51 of those intel individuals of their security clearances.

Ivan Kanapathy was the Senior Vice President of Beacon Global Strategies up until 2 months ago, when he accepted the role at NSC.

It doesn’t reflect well on Ivan’s judgement or his loyalty to President Trump in that he was comfortable employing Panetta and Morell at Beacon Global Strategies as Senior Counselors, where they still work, all while knowing they signed their names to that treasonous letter.

We have all known for years now that those 51 intel agents deliberately lied in a coordinated effort with the Biden campaign to run cover for Joe Biden’s son @HunterBiden to discredit reports about Hunter Biden’s laptop, which contained evidence of illicit and criminal activities that implicated Joe Biden as he was running for President against Donald Trump.

In an October 18, 2020 email, Michael Morell asked his fellow spy buddies, including former CIA Directors John Brennan, Leon Panetta and Mike Hayden, to sign the letter, explaining that he and former CIA agent Marc Polymeropoulos had “drafted the attached because we believe the Russians were involved in some way in the Hunter Biden email issue and because we think Trump will attack Biden on the issue at this week’s debate and we want to give the VP a talking point to use in response.”

Morell was the ring leader of the letter that the 51 agents signed to undermine Donald Trump. While he organized the letter, Morell was also on CIA payroll. In his emails, he said the purpose of the letter was to give Joe Biden a “talking point” ahead of a 2020 Presidential debate against then-President Donald Trump.

Even while knowing this, Ivan Kanapathy continued to allow Morell and Panetta to work at Beacon Global Strategies. As the Senior Vice President of BGS, surely Ivan Kanapathy had an executive level role. Why would someone want to work with @BarackObama’s CIA Directors, who have a documented record of lying for Dems?

How on earth did a colleague of Michael Morell & Leon Panetta get cleared through vetting to work at the  National Security Council (NSC)?

The NSC is used by POTUS for consideration of national security, military, and foreign policy matters. Based in the White House, it is part of the Executive Office of the President of the United States, & composed of senior national security advisors & Cabinet officials.

This is a VETTING FAILURE. Is @IvanKanapathy still in touch with his colleagues Mike Morell & Leon Panetta?
RECEIPTS 👇🏻

Up until 2 months ago, Ivan Kanapathy was the Senior Vice President of Beacon Global Strategies. Jeremy Bash is the current Managing Director of Beacon Global Strategies. Kanapathy and Bash worked together. Now, Kanapathy is in a top level position under @MikeWaltz47 at the NSC, despite working alongside treasonous intel officials who broke their code of professional ethics by using their security clearances to fabricate a story about Hunter Biden’s laptop to interfere in the 2020 election as a way to help Joe Biden.

Why would Kanapathy willingly work alongside these intel officials all while everyone was aware for YEARS of their inappropriate conduct and abuse of power?

This is why many of Kanapathy’s colleagues at Beacon Global Strategies had their security clearances revoked by President @realDonaldTrump!

Bash was the chief of staff at the Central Intelligence Agency (2009–2011) and the U.S. Department of Defense (2011–2013) under Barack Obama. He worked as a senior advisor to Leon Panetta in both roles. His security clearance was also stripped by President Trump, as one of the 51 intel agents who signed the 2020 letter, declaring Hunter Biden’s laptop as “Russian disinformation” as a CIA plot to help Joe Biden defeat Donald Trump during the Presidential debate when Hunter Biden’s laptop scandal erupted during the 2020 Presidential campaign.

At least four of the letter’s signatories, former deputy CIA director Michael Morell, former CIA senior Inspector General David Buckley, CIA official Jeremy Bash and former National Security Agency official Richard Ledgett were active CIA contractors at the time
they signed the letter.

Jeremy Bash is the ex husband of CNN anchor @DanaBashCNN.

How the hell did Ivan Kanapathy get through vetting???

He was working with Jeremy Bash, Mike Morell and Leon Panetta just 2 months ago!

Now he’s at NSC with access to President Trump and sensitive information.

Vetting crisis!

Both Micahel Morell and Leon Panetta worked as CIA Directors under the Obama administration.

They now work for Beacon Global Strategies as SENIOR COUNSELORS.

Up until 2 months ago, Ivan Kanapathy was the SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF BEACON GLOBAL STRATEGIES where he worked with the SPIES WHO LIED, who have since had their security clearances REVOKED by the Trump admin.

How did their colleague get placed in charge of China policy as the Asia Director at NSC?

There is a vetting crisis in the @realDonaldTrump admin.

This NSC appointment reeks of the same swamp creatures Trump’s administration has fought to drain. Kanapathy’s ties to Morell and Panetta—architects of the Hunter Biden laptop disinformation campaign—highlight a glaring vetting gap. The Drain the Intelligence Community Swamp Act of 2025 (H.R. 80) already stripped security clearances from these 51 spies for weaponizing intelligence against a sitting president. Yet their protégé lands a top NSC role? Bureaucratic rot runs deep.

While Trump cleans house, holdovers from the deep state’s influence-peddling network cling to power. Every compromised appointment undermines America First priorities—especially on China policy, where strategic clarity is nonnegotiable.

Time to audit every security clearance and purge every Obama-era operative still embedded in the system.

March 29, 2025 - NIH boss shuts down Fort Detrick bio-lab due to a confrontation between contractors

National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya said poor safety culture, and a feud between employees that risked the leak of an unknown pathogen, prompted him to temporarily shutter the high-level biosafety laboratory at Fort Detrick, Maryland.

Bhattacharya, who was confirmed by the Senate in late March, had only just taken the helm at the agency which was at the center of much COVID-19-era controversy when he received a report about the high-security laboratory that caused his “blood to chill,” he told the Just the News, No Noise TV show on Monday.

He said the lab reported that one researcher slashed a hole in a containment suit of another researcher, potentially exposing them to a pathogen.

A lovers’ spat turns potentially deadly

“About three weeks in, I got a report that there was a lab—a BSL four lab, that is a high-security lab that deals with, like, really nasty bugs, you know, Ebola, whole bunch of other bugs—that there had been a safety incident…[that] involved a contractor cutting a hole in the bio containment suit of another worker with the intention of that, getting that worker sick with some nasty bug and potentially spreading it outside of the lab itself,” Bhattacharya said, confirming an incident first reported by Fox News earlier this month.

Fox News also reported that the incident between the two contractors was sparked by a lover’s spat, according to an anonymous official from the Department of Health and Human Services.

“I mean, I have not been scared by anything…in this job so far, except for that. When I heard that, my blood just chilled,” Bhattacharya said.

The incident, which raised significant safety concerns at the high-security laboratory, was the catalyst for the temporary closure, which halted work at the facility. Work at the Biosaftey Level 4 laboratory was halted on March 29, shortly after Bhattacharya took the helm at NIH.

The lab is equipped to handle research on highly infectious and lethal diseases like Anthrax bacteria, COVID-19, the Ebola virus, and the lesser-known but deadly Marburg and Nipah viruses, among others.

“I ordered immediately, as soon as I heard about this incident, that there’s an operational pause of all, all experiments at this lab at Fort Detrick, Maryland, and that we’re not going to reopen it until, until I’m satisfied that we have a group that can run it with safety first,” the director told Just the News of his decision.

“This is really, really dangerous stuff, and if we’re going to play around with these kinds of experiments, it better be at a 100% secure lab where the safety culture says that it’s more important to get the safety right than to have the science go forward,” he added.

Not the first shutdown for the lab

The laboratory has been plagued by safety concerns since at least 2019 when a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention inspection of the facility uncovered several “serious” safety protocol violations that led to a similar temporary shutdown, according to documents obtained by ABC affiliate WJLA.

In one incident, the CDC found an individual had entered a room multiple times without the mandatory respiratory protection gear while scientists were performing procedures on a deceased non-human primate on a necropsy table. The agency noted a number of other incidents involving improper respiratory protection.

Additionally, the agency found the lab did not sufficiently verify employee training for handling toxins and select agents—“agents and toxins that have the potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety,” per the CDC.

Officials also cited insufficient systems to “decontaminate wastewater” from the facility. The CDC did not originally release publicly its decision to temporarily close the lab, citing “national security reasons,” The New York Times reported at the time. By April 2020, the laboratory had resumed full operations.

Other labs will go under the microscope

March 29, 2025 - The State Department and CIA color revolution tactics that have been used to overthrow foreign govts, have also been activated in America

 

Breaking! A Connecticut senator @ChrisMurphyCT is actively working with MoveOn and Indivisible to use Serbian Otpor to overthrow our president!

Otpor defined is the resistance. And Serbian Otpor is used for CIA and USAID led regime change.

Recall I already have proven he works with MoveOn. Well, he actively works with Indivisible too. And promotes joining also. And his interactions are all over the internet.

Both orgs are included in the Resistance Guide. And in the Soros Democracy Alliance resistance map.

The below 🧵 outlines how the Resistance Guide writers met with the founders of Serbian Otpor to create the Trump resistance movement.

Should this dude be in any type of office?

Thread: The beginning of Momentum aka Ayni Institute protest training and Obama’s connections. Before I head into the origins, it is imperative you realize the importance of the content in the Resistance Guide.

Remember the name Carlos Saavedra. 

Sen Chris Murphy’s interactions with both Indivisible and MoveOn are everywhere! I’ll just show a couple.

Here’s a transcript where he tells folks to join both.

“Right now, joining groups like Indivisible and Move On, calling, showing up — all of that matters. Volume matters.”

https://archive.is/ohj2s

Sen Chris Murphy’s interactions with Serbian Otpor utilizing, Indivisible are everywhere. He even goes to their meetings. “Indivisible Greenwich will meet on Sunday, Sept. 10 at 7 p.m., at Eastern Middle School, 51 Hendrie Ave, Riverside. Doors will open at 6:45 p.m. Senator Chris Murphy and Representative Jim Himes will speak to the group.” archive.is/dkcEf

Democrat Rep Chris Murphy joined John McCain on a stage at Kiev in 2013 to support the Maidan uprising protestors.

Along with Right Sector, the leadership of the far-right Svoboda Party assumed a prominent role at the Maidan, dubbing the protests a “Revolution of Dignity.” Svoboda co-founder Oleh Tyahnybok who had once demanded an investigation of the “Jewish-Muscovite mafia” that he saw controlling Ukraine — appeared on stage at the square beside U.S. Senators John McCain and Chris Murphy when they arrived to encourage the protesters.

The Svoboda Party was originally called the Social-National Party of Ukraine, a Ukrainian political party with long history of anti-Semitism.

“Led by Oleh Tyahnybok, Svoboda played a prominent role in the 2013-2014 Maidan uprising, where Tyahnybok shared the stage with U.S. Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Chris Murphy (D-CT). Andriy Parubiy, who had co-founded the Social-National Party of Ukraine, is now Speaker of Parliament.”

Just for a refresher, Paul Engler was a writer of the Trump resistance manual. Utilized by MoveOn and Indivisible etc.

They didn’t just talk to Otpor Ivan Marovic, they trained with him too:

Paul/Mark Engler’s: This is an Uprising

“As fate would have it, we quickly met some guys with profound insights into these very questions. They had started a movement of their own in Serbia, called Otpor. It had successfully created multiple “moments of whirlwinds,” and in 2000 it ended up playing a key role in overthrowing Slobodan Milosevic—a dictator known as the Butcher of the Balkans. The Serbians had also studied Gandhi and Gene Sharp, and they did an amazing job synthesizing and drawing out relevant concepts. Moreover, they had guided 40,000 of their members through weeklong trainings in the principles and laws of this new type of movement-building. Subsequently, I went to many trainings with Ivan Marovic, one of the founders of Otpor, and he became my strategic mentor. At that point, I was inspired to start translating some of these lessons into a US context.

After Occupy Wall street, my life and work took another turn as  became interested in partnering with me to find the best ways to bring this organizing model to US activists. Carlos had been a disciple of Marshall Ganz, who devised the system of training tens of thousands of volunteers for the Obama campaign in 2008. For his part, Carlos had trained thousands of undocumented DREAM Act students in the principles of traditional community organizing. He possessed an uncanny talent for grappling with complex ideas, making our thinking more rigorous, and figuring out how to make these ideas relatable. With the support of a new team of talented young organizers that we call the “Momentum Training Institute,” Carlos and I started taking our ideas and making them more simple, clear, and accessible. “

March 30, 2025 - TeslaTakedown: The 24 Democrat organizations behind the terrorist campaign against Tesla

Hello @ElonMusk and Friends,

You asked who is funding and organizing the #TeslaTakedown protests. I’ve got answers for you, after going onto the streets of northern Virginia for the local protests here, seeing familiar faces from the Virginia Democratic political machine and then following the money — and the data.

AstroTurf Protest Industry

To your question, at latest count, as of 3/30, 5:30 AM:

🔴24 organizations and counting are funding and organizing the #TeslaTakedown protests and leading the very partisan propaganda campaign against Tesla, Tesla drivers, Tesla employees, Donald Trump and you. See below to see all 24 groups with their revenues, involvement, tax ID numbers and other info.

🔴These organizations have combined annual revenues of at least $124 MILLION and counting.

🔴 100% of the groups are aligned with the Democratic Party. At the protest on 3/29 at Tyco Road, in Tysons, Va., a photo I took of a “Virginia Democrats” sign in front of the Tesla dealership.

🔴 Most of these groups enjoy tax-deductible status as 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) organizations, claiming they are “nonpartisan.” A few have PACs. The organizations have not returned requests for comment.

Database
🔴 You can see the raw data on 306 #TeslaTakedown protests in the database here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13MOGhdMPc-_lGGdEGkS0QVSayczGG7Z5rlk_LUxdCTk/edit?usp=sharing

Back story
I’m a former Wall Street Journal reporter and a propaganda expert and editor of the @DPearlProject, a journalism nonprofit named for my WSJ colleague and friend Daniel Pearl. Since Oct. 7th, I have been reporting on the anti-Jew, anti-America, anti-Israel protests and building a database, following the money. It numbers 2,000 groups now, and I am working on a web and mobile app for parents, policymakers, university administrators, law enforcement, the public and others.

I went to the #TeslaTakedown protest a week ago Saturday on Tyco Road at the Tysons, Va., and saw familiar faces from Indivisible and the Fairfax County Democratic Party, shouting for you to be deported as they stood outside the Tesla dealership. I wondered too who is organizing and funding the protests nationwide.

I got the protest details scraped from ActionNetwork and Mobilize, the two platforms aligned with the Democratic Party promoting the #TeslaTakedown protests, and built a public database of the groups behind the Tesla protest.

AstroTurf, not “grassroots”

🔴 In an article for the @FairfaxTimes, I wrote about how the local protests in Tysons, are a window into how the protests are AstroTurf, not “grassroots.” What this case reveals is the way that a multi-million dollar professional protest industry manufactures outrage in top-down political theater, agitprop, or agitation propaganda, and now criminal offenses. Here is the article: https://fairfaxtimes.com/articles/local-teslatakedown-reveals-grassroots-protests-are-astroturf/article_1c368d4d-708c-4074-b5fa-5eaf6a32ea97.html

🔴 Next step: I just got data on the April 5 #HandsOff protests and will be adding that data to the database. In addition, I am completing an analysis of the propaganda using the tools of natural language processing and content analysis.

Why is this important to report on? Because defending principles of free enterprise and individual liberty in the U.S. means allowing people to buy whatever make of car they wish without fear of danger or harassment and allowing companies to do business without fear of danger or harassment.

All, please let me know if you have any questions, ideas or recommendations.

March 30, 2025 - Elon Musk confirms widespread voter fraud as 5.5 million non-citizens have access to Social Security, Medicaid, and the ballot box (VIDEO)

Billionaire entrepreneur and Trump advisor Elon Musk dropped a bombshell this weekend during a fiery 100-minute town hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he campaigned for conservative judge Brad Schimel in the state’s upcoming Supreme Court election on Tuesday.

Joined by Antonio Gracias, a private equity titan and a key member of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team tasked with rooting out waste in the federal government, Musk unveiled a shocking chart: a dramatic spike in Social Security Numbers issued to non-citizens, soaring from 270,000 in 2021 to a mind-blowing 2.1 million in 2024.

That’s almost 5 million non-citizens now embedded in the system—collecting benefits, draining taxpayer dollars, and, most alarmingly, infiltrating the voter rolls.

“This is a mind-blowing chart,” Musk declared, pointing to the data. “This wasn’t an accident. This was a massive, large-scale program under the Biden administration to import as many illegals as possible—ultimately to change the voting map of the United States, disenfranchise the American people, and lock in a permanent deep-blue, one-party state from which there’d be no escape.”

Gracias, founder of Valor Equity Partners and a self-described son of legal immigrants, echoed Musk’s outrage.

“We went to Social Security to find fraud, and we stumbled on this by accident,” he said.

“And this isn’t political, by the way. My parents are immigrants… My brother and sister all born in Spain. I’m pro-legal immigration. This is not political. This is about America and the future of America. And there are a lot of good people in the system that pointed this in this direction. I want to honor them right now. They’re working with the government today and took the risks to show us these numbers and tell us what’s going on.”

Gracias continued, “We found 1.3 million of them already on Medicaid as an example. On every benefit program we went through, we found groups from this particular group of people, 5.5 million people in those benefit programs. And then what was really, really disturbing us was why. We’re asking ourselves why. And so we actually just took a sample and looked at voter registration records, and we found people here registered to vote in this population.”

The evidence, according to Musk and Gracias, is undeniable. By sampling voter registration records, they uncovered non-citizens who not only registered but voted in American elections.

“We’ve referred them to prosecution at Homeland Security Investigations,” Gracias revealed. “That’s happening right now.”

But the scandal goes deeper than voter fraud. Gracias, who traveled from D.C. to Social Security offices and the southern border alongside Musk, painted a grim picture of a system rigged to incentivize illegal entry. (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 3/31/2025)

March 30, 2025 - Jeffrey Goldberg tells Meet the Press he has met and spoken to Mike Waltz

Jeffrey Goldberg appearing on Meet the Press, says he has met and spoken to Mike Waltz and that Waltz’s ongoing denials to that end are “simply not true.”   Goldberg notes his phone number was in Waltz’s phone simply because his phone number was in Waltz’s phone.

According to Jeffrey Goldberg, despite Waltz’s numerous denials, the National Security Advisor and journalist do know each other.  WATCH:

(Conservative Treehouse, 3/30/2025)

March 31, 2025 - Elon Musk and his DOGE colleague Antonio Gracias show how illegal aliens get Social Security numbers and then scam America

When Elon Musk and his DOGE colleague Antonio Gracias showed a Wisconsin audience how non-citizens get Social Security Numbers (SSNs), their presentation painted the clearest picture yet of the long-term damage former President Joe Biden’s open border policy will have on the United States.

The total SSNs issued in 2021 was roughly 270,000; in 2022 it climbed to 590,000, and in 2023, there were 964,000 SSNs issued to new non-citizens. But in 2024 it more than doubled to over 2 million. This counts only non-citizens who got their SSNs through the Enumeration Beyond Entry program, a system where the Social Security Administration automatically issues SSNs and cards to certain foreign nationals in the U.S., as part of an agreement with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Get a High-Paying Job

With a work authorization card in their wallet, non-citizens can find legitimate work. Work at higher wages is the main reason people come to the U.S.,

Collect Social Security Benefits

Let’s say you are an American who started working at 16 and retired at 67. You’ve been paying into Social Security with every paycheck for 51 years. Non-citizens can draw Social Security after working 40 quarters — that is 10 years.

“Even if you’re here unlawfully, so long as you work for 40 quarters, which is 10 years, you’re eligible for Social Security benefits,” Arthur said.

It means millions of people will get full benefits without contributing decades of income to the fund.

You don’t have to be a math whiz to know that is not sustainable.

Social Security Numbers are Forever

Social Security Numbers don’t expire; once a non-citizen has one, they keep it, no matter where life takes them.

“You now have a population of a million or more who have valid Social Security Numbers, who will be able to work, albeit illegally, in the United States forever,” Arthur said. “Even if Trump took away all of their statuses tomorrow and all their work authorization, they could still work because an employer can’t ask to look at your employment authorization document. The employer can only ask for certain documents, and the two most common are driver’s licenses and Social Security cards.”

Benefits For Babies

President Donald Trump aims to end birthright citizenship. Under Biden and for years before his term, babies born on U.S. soil to illegally present parents have been granted citizenship, and the SNAP food benefits, free healthcare, free education, and other free services that go to citizens in need (and in some cases non-citizens from certain countries and circumstances.)

Vote

Only U.S. citizens are allowed to vote in federal elections. But a Social Security Number provides the opportunity for fraud. Many states let voters register via mail by providing either a driver’s license number or a the last four digits of their SSN. A non-citizen could use their SSN to register, then vote absentee. County election workers who check the SSN against the database of numbers would find the number valid, with no clue it is a non-citizen.

April 1, 2025 - Dem Congressman Jamie Raskin demands Trump ‘return’ deported illegal gang members to U.S.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, is demanding that President Donald Trump fly hundreds of suspected gang members, deported to El Salvador last month, back to the United States.

“I call on my colleagues … to demand that the Trump Administration comply with all judicial orders while appealing whichever ones they want to appeal, and to demand the return of people unlawfully taken to El Salvador on that so-called plane full of ‘gang bangers,’” Raskin said at a hearing on Tuesday.

Raskin was referring to two planeloads of suspected illegal alien gang members associated with Tren de Aragua and MS-13 that were deported to San Salvador, El Salvador, under a deal between Trump and President Nayib Bukele to house such illegals in the country’s mega-prison.

Judge James Boasberg, whom many Republicans now want to impeach, issued a temporary restraining order stopping Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport more gang members.

The Trump administration is pleading with the Supreme Court to allow the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to resume such deportations.

During the hearing, Raskin called the deportation of suspected gang members a “blatant violation of American due process and all of our constitutional values.” (Read more: Breitbart, 4/1/2025)  (Archive)

April 1, 2025 - Gingrich says Federal District judges aren’t just tying up Trump but the Executive Branch of government as well

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said on Fox Business Tuesday that he’s concerned about district judges shaping national policy, especially when they overrule decisions made by President Donald Trump.

During an appearance on “Kudlow,” Gingrich described this as a pivotal moment in U.S. history.

“There are already more of these [rulings] coming down the road than the Supreme Court has ever heard in a single term. I would hope that the Supreme Court Chief Justice [John Roberts] would intervene, indicate that there’s something clearly wrong here and that they’re going to follow a procedure so that the executive branch is not being dictated to by random individual district judges,” Gingrich told host Larry Kudlow.

 

Gingrich said the pattern of interference by district judges creates a constitutional crisis.

“You have, I think, the fifth large change after Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln and FDR. And this is underway. And, of course, the old order is going to fight it every way it can,” Gingrich said. “And one of their last strongholds are these left-wing judges. And we have to make clear that that is illegitimate.”

Gingrich said that these “left-wing judges” are undermining the executive branch.

“You cannot have individual, random district judges who get up in the morning and say, ‘I think I’ll play president tonight, today.’ And some of their rulings are crazy,” Gingrich said.

Gingrich, a former speaker of the House, said he’s disappointed with a recent statement by Roberts.

“He put out a press release about 10 days ago lecturing President Trump and saying there’s an appeals process. That’s nonsense. If you are involved with crime, with violence, with national security, you can’t have some judge make rendered an injunction,” Gingrich said. “And then, six weeks, eight weeks, nine weeks from now, maybe it’ll get taken up.” (Read more:The Daily Caller, 4/1/2025) (Archive)

Gingrich also appeared before the House Judiciary Committee hearing today to talk about judicial overreach in lower federal courts where they are blocking President Trump’s actions.

April 2, 2025 - DOGE finds 5 million illegal aliens were given Social Security numbers during Biden presidency

A U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) volunteer credited President Donald Trump for the agency’s success in curbing government waste after the Elon Musk-led team uncovered “jaw-dropping” fraud in the Social Security system.

“None of this would have happened without President Trump,” Antonio Gracias told Steve Doocy during “Fox & Friends” Wednesday. “President Trump had the courage to allow us to go across databases. He signed an executive order. It’s never been done before, where agencies could talk to each other and databases could talk with each other.”

“That allowed us to connect all this data, to find these people across the system, across the benefit system, all the way to the voting records. It really took a lot of courage,” he continued.

Musk and Gracias revealed over the weekend during a get-out-the-vote rally in Wisconsin that millions of noncitizens received Social Security numbers during former President Joe Biden’s tenure. The pair shared a chart showing a steady year-over-year increase, reaching more than 2 million in FY 2024, which ended on Sept. 30.

FY23 saw roughly 1 million noncitizens issued Social Security numbers, as did FY25, which began in October and will end in September of this year.

“We found that there were just about five-plus million of them that came to the country as illegals, were given various forms of parole or allowing [in] the country, and they got through an automatic system, Social Security numbers, so they could get into our benefit systems,” Gracias said.

“And we tracked that through and found that they were on benefit programs,” he noted. “And just because we were curious, we then looked to see if they were on the voter rolls, and we found in a handful of cooperative states that there were thousands of them on the voter rolls and that many of them had voted.”

Gracias said that DOGE confirmed 1.3 million individuals who secured a fraudulent Social Security number received Medicare benefits, too.

Doocy asked Gracias about the amount of money the agency has saved American taxpayers as it pertains to Social Security fraud alone.

“It’s in the billions,” he responded. “You saw the fraud on the phone lines itself. That was about $1.5 billion, and I would guess with Social Security already, we’re north of $10 billion.”

Meanwhile, DOGE said last week it had removed approximately 7 million Social Security accounts belonging to people listed as being over 120 years old.

The agency has also found through its audits that the Social Security database included 20 million dead people marked as alive, Musk said at the Wisconsin town hall Sunday.

April 3, 2025 - Chief Justice Roberts’ secret friendship with Norm Eisen is revealed…

(Credit: Revolver News)

(…) According to Norm Eisen—the man who practically wrote the Deep State’s playbook on color revolutions, all things anti-Trump, and lawfare in the US—he and Chief Justice John Roberts are not only good pals, but they even spent a week together in the Czech Republic. According to Norm, the two BFFs were there working on “American rule of law” issues.

Hmm…

Norm was so proud of this that he actually bragged about the trip and made it very clear that Roberts isn’t corrupt—he’s just a “close friend” who happened to fly overseas and stay at Eisen’s posh 150-room palace to collaborate on transatlantic political projects.

Really…

And no, that’s not just weird; it’s a massive conflict of interest and could also explain a lot.

As it stands now, Justice Roberts has no business presiding over any of the cases that Eisen and his army of lawfare activists are funneling through the courts, and we all know Norm is tied to so many of these weaponized cases. He should have been recusing himself from the get-go—and probably outright resigning—for the integrity of the court.

Mike Benz told the shocking full story on a recent podcast.

Watch:

Yes, Mike Benz amplified this bombshell story, but he made sure to credit the X account that first dug it up:

The Researcher:

Norm Eisen said his good friend Supreme Court Justice John Roberts was not corrupt and that John went to the Czech Republic for a week so that they could spend time working on American rule of law issues together.

John should resign or recuse himself from all of the lawsuit cases that Norm and his partners have filed that are working their way to the SC.

Talk about a conflict of interest.

We introduced our readers to the Deep State’s favorite color revolution architect five years ago.

Revolver:

In our report on Never Trump State Department official George Kent, Revolver News first drew attention to the ominous similarities between the strategies and tactics the United States government employs in so-called “Color Revolutions” and the coordinated efforts of government bureaucrats, NGOs, and the media to oust President Trump.

Our recent follow-up to this initial report focused specifically on a shadowy, George Soros-linked group called the Transition Integrity Project (TIP), which convened “war games” exercises suggesting the likelihood of a “contested election scenario” and of ensuing chaos should President Trump refuse to leave office. We further showed how these “contested election” scenarios we are hearing so much about play perfectly into the Color Revolution framework sketched out in Revolver News’ first installment in the Color Revolution series.

As the man who implemented the David Brock blueprint for suing the President into paralysis and his allies into bankruptcy, who helped mainstream and amplify the Russia Hoax, who drafted 10 articles of impeachment for the Democrats a full month before President Trump ever called the Ukraine President in 2018, who personally served as special counsel litigating the Ukraine impeachment, and who created a template for Internet censorship of world leaders and a handbook for mass mobilizing racial justice protesters to overturn democratic election results, there is perhaps no man alive with a more decorated resume for plots against President Trump.

Indeed, the story of Norm Eisen—a key architect of nearly every attempt to delegitimize, impeach, censor, sue, and remove the democratically elected 45th President of the United States—is a tale that winds through nearly every facet of the color revolution playbook. There is no purer embodiment of Revolver’s thesis that the very same regime change professionals who run Color Revolutions on behalf of the US government in order to undermine or overthrow alleged “authoritarian” governments overseas are running the very same playbook to overturn Trump’s 2016 victory and to preempt a repeat in 2020. To put it simply, what you see is not just the same Color Revolution playbook run against Trump, but the same people using it against Trump who have employed it in a professional capacity against targets overseas—same people, same playbook.

In Norm Eisen’s case, the “same people, same playbook” refrain takes an arrestingly literal turn when one realizes that Norm Eisen wrote a classic Color Revolution regime change manual and conveniently titled it “The Playbook.”

This third installment of Revolver News’ series exposing the Color Revolution against Trump will focus on one quiet and indeed mostly overlooked participant in the Transition Integrity Project’s biased election “war games” exercise—a man by the name of Norm Eisen.

In light of this latest news and connection between Eisen and Roberts, we encourage you to read this article:

Meet Norm Eisen: Legal Hatchet Man and Central Operative in the ‘Color Revolution’ Against President Trump

Most would agree: Roberts has to go.

This isn’t complicated.

Chief Justice John Roberts traveled to a foreign country to spend a week with Norm Eisen—a man who is directly tied to numerous lawfare operations aimed at President Trump, January 6’ers, and conservative political movements all over the country. Eisen isn’t just some random acquaintance. He’s a key architect of the modern legal warfare that’s being used to takedown political opponents through the courts.

And Roberts didn’t just meet with Eisen. He stayed at Eisen’s estate in the Czech Republic. He worked with him on political and legal strategy—while still serving as the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

This cannot stand. (Read more: Revolver News, 4/3/2025)  (Archive)

April 3, 2025 - NSA director and Cyber Command chief Timothy Haugh, deputy Wendy Noble fired in major shakeup at wiretapping agency

The director of the National Security Agency, Air Force Gen. Timothy Haugh, reportedly was fired Thursday from his post as the head of the agency.

Haugh’s removal as director of the NSA, the nation’s primary cyber espionage and electronic eavesdropping agency, comes on the same day at least three White House National Security Council staffers reportedly also were shown the door.

The ousted NSA director’s civilian deputy, Wendy Noble, was also let go Thursday, according to the Washington Post, citing current and former US officials.

Noble was reassigned to a role within the Pentagon’s Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, according to the outlet.

The reason behind the NSA shakeup is unknown, the US officials told the outlet.

Haugh, who also serves as the Pentagon’s Cyber Command chief, had led the NSA since February 2024.

It’s unclear if the Air Force general will remain at his Cyber Command post following his removal from the Fort Meade, Md.-based spy agency.

Department of Government Efficiency chief Elon Musk was hosted by Haugh at NSA headquarters just last month, his first known visit to a US intelligence agency. (Read more: New York Post, 4/03/2025)  (Archive)

Right-wing influencer Laura Loomer claimed she had a “private” meeting with President Trump on Wednesday to present him with “research” — before at least three National Security Council staffers were reportedly fired.

“It was an honor to meet with President Trump and present him with my research findings,” Loomer wrote on X after posting details about the lack of proper “vetting” at the NSC in the past week.

Loomer apparently presented the president with information about NSC staffers having “neo-con” views, Axios reported.

(…) As many as six staffers may have ultimately been shown the door, according to The New York Times, which noted National Security Adviser Mike Waltz was present at the White House meeting with Loomer.

The ousted staffers included senior director Brian Walsh, senior director for national affairs Thomas Boodry, and senior director David Feith, according to CNN.

“NSC doesn’t comment on personnel matters,” NSC spokesman Brian Hughes told The Post.

Trump later confirmed he met with Loomer and got her advice — but said the firings didn’t have to do with her.

“We’re always going to let go of people — people we don’t like, or people that take advantage of, or people that may have loyalties to someone else,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. (Read more: New York Post, 4/03/2025)  (Arvhive)

April 3, 2025 - NIH genetic counselor tells researchers to alter language and “change ‘race’ to ‘ancestry’” in clinical trials to evade DOGE and secure funding

“I had to go and look at what was leaked as far as the banned words… and figure out what to suggest and choose,” admitted James Welch, a National Institutes of Health (@NIH) genetic counselor, revealing the extent to which he is coaching researchers to manipulate grant applications in order to bypass federal restrictions.

Welch, who works at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (@NIDDKgov), was caught on hidden camera explaining how he helps principal investigators (PIs) at the NIH adjust their wording to avoid scrutiny from government oversight bodies, including the Department of Government Efficiency (@DOGE). “There are banned words that they’re [DOGE] cutting grants for… Two of the words are ‘women’ and ‘female,’” Welch revealed.

Welch detailed how he actively advised a researcher to alter the language in a study on cortisol levels in Black and White women, ensuring it would not trigger red flags in the grant approval process. “Just make it not the primary objective, make it a secondary objective, and change the word ‘race’ to ‘ancestry,’” he advised.

Welch also acknowledged that NIH’s intramural research programs face fewer barriers than extramural projects funded at universities, stating, “We can do it [microdialysis] if we have the money,” highlighting the power NIH insiders wield over approving their own research.

Welch also made comments about purchasing firearms and potential retaliation against individuals at the NIH. “My mom told me today not to shoot anybody because I’ve been buying guns,” he remarked. When pressed about why he was purchasing firearms, Welch responded, “Just thinking about worst-case scenarios and being like, well, why not be prepared?”

OMG has reached out to the NIH for comment regarding Welch’s statements.

“I heard you had a really bad day. You’re about to have a worse day,” James O’Keefe stated, addressing James Welch, a National Institutes of Health (@NIH) official recently caught on hidden camera revealing he counsels researchers to alter language in clinical trial protocols, specifically replacing the term “race” with “ancestry,” to evade @DOGE oversight. “This is you on camera,” revealed O’Keefe.

O’Keefe pressed Welch about his role in modifying terminology, asking if it was deceitful to replace “race” with “ancestry.” Welch denied the claim, repeatedly saying, “I didn’t lie,” affirming that he suggested altering the language “for scientific accuracy.”

As the encounter continued, Welch attempted to flee in his Tesla. Despite appearing eager to disengage, Welch rolled down his window and continued the discussion. “I believe in good science. I believe in protecting the people,” Welch stated. O’Keefe challenged this reasoning, questioning how the alteration could be scientifically accurate. Welch fired back, “I’m an expert. You’re not.”

O’Keefe referenced a text message reportedly sent by Welch to an undercover journalist, in which he described the situation at work as “a bloodbath” with people losing their jobs. Despite the tension, Welch continued to assert that his actions were justified. Welch replied, “I care about people,” adding, “You don’t care about people or their health.”

O’Keefe rebutted, stating, “Of course, we care deeply about people. We want people to know what’s going on in their government.” He concluded by pointing out the common reactions he encounters during such investigations: “They always either run away, assault me, call the police, or say nothing. That was like everything but calling the police right there and assaulting.”
