Just weeks into DOGE’s fight against the Deep State, it’s obvious that Musk’s brainchild operates more like a tech startup—fast, agile, and focused on delivering results. I mean, just look at Team DOGE—instead of bringing in career bureaucrats or Washington insiders, he handpicked young engineers from Silicon Valley, Austin, and even Eastern Europe, all under 30 years old.
One of them, a 24-year-old Estonian coder, developed a fraud-detection algorithm that flagged over $2 billion in illicit transactions for private banks. Another, a 26-year-old AI specialist, helped optimize Tesla’s supply chain automation. Then there’s Luke Farritor, who created an algorithm capable of reading text from carbonized ancient scrolls, winning a $250,000 prize from the Vesuvius Challenge.
[The rolled-up scrolls were burned up during the Vesuvius inferno in Pompeii. They are but scrolls of ash. The remains look like black, charred hot dogs which fell to the bottom of a firepit. One professor ran them through a CT scan and revealed layers of burned paper. Ink on the burned paper didn't burn as fast as the paper, leaving a trace of an image. Luke applied AI to detect the difference between paper and ink and found the Greek word "purple." He believes AI will now be able to reconstruct all the words hidden within the ash-like paper.]
Notice a DOGE pattern? No Beltway insiders. No political appointees. Just young, hyper-competent tech professionals leveraging AI and automation (to cut through waste faster than any government watchdog ever has).
Another key strategy? Publicity. DOGE isn’t waiting for agencies to act—it’s making its findings public before legal challenges can even be filed. Instead of quietly reporting waste to the White House, DOGE posts its discoveries directly on Musk’s X platform, putting agencies on defense immediately.

Any investment in bioscience research comes with 100% risk because one never knows if a particular strategy will produce beneficial outcomes.
Publicly traded pharmaceutical companies have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders to maximize profits and the only sure way to generate profits is through regulatory capture.
So Big Pharma just lies about its products and buys off the regulators (and the politicians and the media) every time.
The biggest profits come from giving a drug to the entire population in the name of preventive care — vaccines and now statins.
By pathologizing natural human emotions, the makers of psychopharmaceuticals also seek to sell treatments to nearly the entire population.
Causing harm increases profits by 100x or more (a single injury can produce a lifetime of profitable treatments).
Said simply, causing harm and disease massively increases the size of the market for pharmaceutical products so that’s Big Pharma’s business model today.

The “Putin apologist” smear is as omnipresent today as the same kind of smear was in 2002 in the US, deployed against anyone who questioned the wisdom of the coming war on Iraq. It’s designed to shut down thought. As usual, Hungary is the one dissenter from the EU consensus.

The case for getting out of NATO encompasses four fundamental propositions:
First, the Federal budget has become a self-fueling fiscal doomsday machine, even as the Fed has run out of capacity to monetize the skyrocketing public debt.
Second, the only viable starting point for fiscal salvation is slashing the nation’s elephantine Warfare State by at least $500 billion per year.
Third, the route to that end is a return to the “no entangling alliance” wisdom of the Founders, which means bringing the Empire Home, closing the 750 US bases abroad, scuttling much of the US Navy and Army and withdrawing from NATO and similar lesser commitments elsewhere.
Fourthly, jettisoning NATO requires debunking its Origins Story and the false claim that it brought peace and security to post-war America when what it actually did was transform Washington into the War Capital of the World, dominated by a panoptic complex of arms merchants, neocon warmongers and a vast Warfare State nomenklatura.
