📄 NEW: "The Four Memos Quietly Rocking Washington" A set of memos about Elon Musk, the Neoreactionary movement, DOGE, and financial instability is making waves in Washington. But will they lead to a tipping point? Not unless Republicans take action. https://america2.news/the-four-memos-quietly-rocking-washington/
📄 NEW: Yesterday's Oval Office ambush of Volodymyr Zelenskyy shocked the world, but it was predictable if you understand Trump as an agent of long-term KGB influence in the name of "peace." A quick summary of how we got here. More to follow. https://america2.news/americas-darkest-turn/
📄 NEW: "Musk and Trump Resurface Old Fort Knox Conspiracy Tales" Elon Musk and Donald Trump are calling for an audit of gold reserves at Fort Knox.

The vote on Kash Patel as FBI Director has passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee on a vote of 12-10, along party lines. Floor vote to follow in coming days. The country is hanging by a thread. https://x.com/nytimes/status/1890072186100084780
@lindamarie my advice is to get over it and deal with the importance of the material. Some people didn't like it, most found it enlightening. But either way, you're in danger — this is no time to quibble over style points. Sorry.
@lindamarie sorry, I don't mean to be disagreeable. It's an extremely bad day, and I'm dealing with ongoing threats to my safety and security. The bottom line is that people need to get used to consuming some kinds of AI produced content, especially when it's the difference between getting information and not getting it at all. I do understand people's concerns about it and only would rely on such tools in the case of extreme emergencies, which this was. Obviously, it was too late.
@lindamarie honestly, it is a quibble. If you don't like the episode, don't listen to it. But no, there is no simple way to generate another version, and there was certainly no way to do it in December 2024, which was paramount given the urgency.
This was an early piece and we know more now, but here’s Elon, Kanye, Candace Owens, Wikileaks all together with the Jan6 crews back in 2021. See all parts as well as my follow-on “Paranoia on Parade” piece linked below. We knew this was coming.
Here’s fake, illegitimate US Attorney Ed Martin on January 6th. Now he’s threatening people who question DOGE’s legitimacy and legality. This is a coup by insurrectionists who should be in jail.
A group of anonymous authors has published this well-sourced memorandum on Musk and the Neoreactionary movement. Please share widely. The threat is not well understood. Take a moment to read the one page executive summary now; then call Congress.
🚨 NEW + URGENT: "America Under Attack, Week 2: What We're Monitoring" As Elon Musk illegally dismantles the US government, we're raising the alarm on the Neoreactionary and Network State movements and several other domains.
