ParticipantWerner von Braun didn’t say when “aliens” were coming to get us, but it appears it’s pretty soon from that [repetitive] “message from VGer 1” video mentioned by JDay. goggle and yandx don’t have much to say about it.

ICYMI: DOGE’s Mission to Make Government Work Again
The White House
March 28, 2025
Last night, members of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team joined Bret Baier on Special Report — a compelling segment on their efforts to fulfill President Donald J. Trump’s mission of making government work for the people again.Here’s what you missed:
Tom Krause on restoring fiscal responsibility: “We’re changing the culture … There’s $500 billion of fraud every year, there’s hundreds of billions of dollars of improper payments, and we can’t pass an audit … If I was a public company CFO, I would effectively be removed.”
Aram Moghaddassi on improving Social Security benefits: “The two improvements that we’re trying to make to Social Security are helping people that legitimately get benefits protect them from fraud that they experience every day on a routine basis, and also make the experience better … At Social Security, one of the first things we learned is that they get phone calls every day of people trying to change direct deposit information … We learned 40% of the phone calls that they get are from fraudsters … Almost half.”
Elon Musk on cracking down on fraudulent payments: “There were over $300M of Small Business Administration loans that have been given out to people under the age of 11 … $300 million to over the age of 120 … The youngest recipient of a Small Business Administration loan is a nine-month-old.”
Brad Smith on enhancing health care: “There’s 700 different IT systems today at NIH … They can’t speak to each other. They have 27 different CIOs. And so when you think about making great medical discoveries, you have to connect the data.”
Joe Gebbia on making government retirement more efficient: “The process takes many months — and we’re going to make it just many days.”
Elon Musk on waste, fraud, and abuse: “The sheer amount of waste and fraud in the government, it is astonishing — it’s mind blowing. We routinely encounter wastes of $1 billion or more — casually.”
Elon Musk on DOGE’s core mission: “At the end of the day, America is going to be in much better shape. America will be solvent. The critical programs that people depend upon will work and it’s going to be a fantastic future.”March 28, 2025 at 7:33 pm #185080John Day
Participant@MPSK: Thanks for looking at that video. I could not find a better format.
It appears to be a very discrete formalized communication from a great distance, with a constructive aspect, while yet implying something like, “All Your Base Are Belong To Us”.March 28, 2025 at 7:45 pm #185081my parents said know
ParticipantJDay-
They mentioned “coordinates”. What are the coordinates of space? (I always thought Star Trek’s “quadrants” ought to have been “octants”).
Thanks for sharing it.On another note, I heard that Spacex was going to put some astronauts in a polar orbit. I think they are checking out the van Allen belts.
March 28, 2025 at 10:49 pm #185082John Day
Participant@MPSK: I don’t know how to do interstellar coordinates. Sorry.
In medicine “quadrant” just means “area”, and also in military parlance, I believe.March 28, 2025 at 11:13 pm #185083Dr. D
Participant“Gilbert Doctorow, NATO is doomed. Will the EU Institutions implode soon afterwards?
John Wick 4. Europe tries to fight the world without an army, blackmailing Wick into doing it for them. Didn’t work out for them.
Not that it’s going to do much good, but even if it’s technically legal, I oppose these speech deportations in the biggest way. HOW to express and get leverage for that dislike, I don’t yet know.
“This age group, which is typically considered at lower risk for cardiac events, experienced a dramatic 29.95% rise in myocardial infarction” CitizenX
It’s impossible to even know what to say. Even if they’re your own family – as I bet some of mine are – it’s pointless. It’s like the Mark of the Beast. You can tell them not to take it, but they shove by you, say you mean nothing to them, leap over the turnstiles and tackle a doctor to be shot first. This is the world of free will. My compassion only goes, or requires me to act, so far. That is between them and God, who they will meet shortly.
““They have INSURANCE!!!!!”
Oh yeah, that’s right. Insurance takes care of all this.”The ultimate Irony? INSURANCE IS SOCIALISM. They COLLECTIVE payment for COLLECTIVE harm. It’s the closest thing there is in the business world. Why do they hate Socialism so much?

‘TAKING A SERIOUS LOOK AT THE FRAUD’: Elon Musk and the DOGE team lay out their plans
Elon Musk and the DOGE team sit down with ‘Special Report’ to unravel their savings plans.————

ParticipantT. Krause sort of kind of had me with “fight fraud” but it can’t be Tom’s naivete ((he’s learn-ed and write-d)) that led to these two first year MBAstud
“surface pieties”:1.
-
make the experience better
((empty, safe)))
2.
-
… If I was a public company CFO, I would effectively be removed.
((insipid))
Maybe by the adverbial qualifier “effecively” Tom means instantly promoted and handsomely compensated.
The only surefire method to “be effectively removed” (((Krause’s words))) is to EXPOSE FRAUD AND REPORT THE FRAUDSTER DIRTY-DEED-Doers.That’s exactly opposite, inverted, antithetical to Krause’s argument.
Try it.
Any day.
Woe to you good person.
You will be marched out by armed guards.
Your Life’s prospects will be diminished permanently.
You will never be made whole again no matter your success at litigation and the latter will exact a toll that includes loss of friends all, family most and colleagues.
You’re radioactive. What’s the half-life of cesium?
Throw in a few dead Congressmen or other polsThe outcome is governed by one of Berne’s Life Games, Alcoholic games.
The whistleblower blowing up the fraud or The Exposer exposing the fraudulent scheme takes enormous risks as The Antithesis in the business organization committing the crime. He who refuses to Play The Game like Ds Vance Hamel BLANTON Bowman. JD assented in the end to smithereening the Houthis. Hamel said his peace. What more can you ask of an E-4, E-4 Mafia?The outcome is the same for the whistleblower as the Antithesis, 1. Courtroom drama 2. Emergency Roon drama or 3. Morgue, funeral drama.
And we just heard recently from The Trump Administration and These Pages that The American Businessman is The strongest, greatest, bestest and not2forget most ethical and moral force in the whole goddam Universe probably.
Please excuse the hyperbole but mine.Otherwise good on Krause

ParticipantMank, when Musk goes megalo as with all things that Megalomaniac knows how to overdo it
Baier then noted that Kelly is a “decorated veteran, a former astronaut, a sitting US senator.”
-
MUSK: “Well I think somebody, Mark Kelly, should care about the interests of the Untied States above the interests of another country, and if they don’t, they’re a traitor.”
How would you respond to Musk’s Megalo-Hypocrisy and Thorough Absence of Personal Insight?
1. Is Israel a country not named the United States and do you support it Israel when you traipse about adorned by a tiny hat not dissimilar to the Pope’s tiny hat?
2. Do you abide by SoS Marco Rubio’s declaration that Israel and Jews are Our People that is Our People are the United States and neither the Twain shall be separated as cover for Your industrial-grade hypocrisy?
3. Careful you’re gonna make a lot more people like Navy veteran, CAPT, astronaut and US Senator Mark Kelly? That one guy possesses more qualification for office than Tulsi, Sexy Beast Pete, Hash Patel, JD Vance BLANTON Bowman Hamel and you combined.

The DOGE kingpin also addressed growing scrutiny from critics on ‘Special Report’
By Madeline Coggins March 28, 2025 7:24pm“Well, there’s a lot of things that I suppose that I worry about.
And some of these things will seem esoteric to people.
The birth rate is very low in almost every country, and unless that changes, civilization will disappear,” Musk said in part two of his “Special Report” exclusive interview Friday.

Participantin order to prove we are really muy macho, no marxo nada, extra-nonwoke capitalists,

Saw your question late this evening but I remembered that too yet the only mentions I can find is one short note on Tass
and a longer one at Strategic Culture – always a good source.https://tass.com/politics/1803561

ParticipantUhhh, both police and fire have been privatized in the past with mixed results. There were effectively no police at all, actually, bc no one needed them.
Unlike now when they’re both public but with mixed and far more expensive results. Almost all fire are volunteer, which has no downside, except in a few urban areas that like hitting their heads with a hammer.
There’s a reason we learned to do it the way we have, we found the peak, then tossed it and are behaving this post-modern way.
