#1  No 'database' needed to determine who is NOT running our government.

#2  For some reason I'm reminded of the jacket blurb of Michael Flynn's "In the Country of the Blind": The World is run by a secret cabal - and they're incompetent.

#6  Tulsi Gabbard Says Kamala Won’t Be Calling The Shots If She Wins, Names Names [VIDEO]

She names a few names but I'm not sure she has them all or even if the ones she names are in with the "in" crowd. I mean, Tony Blinken? C'mon.

I call it the politburo, she calls it a cabal, others call it the central committee. Whatever you call it, it ain't good.

#7  ^^^
If you were to do a 4th order link analysis of the daily communications flow of all types for all locations world-wide into the Kalorama Kompound over the period of six months, conduct detailed node analysis, and then cross reference it with visitations into the compound, and key subordinate travel to nodes within the Washington D.C area, you would have a pretty good idea Abu!

Ex-Labor secretary Robert Reich claims Elon Musk 'out of control,' says regulators should 'threaten arrest'
[FoxNews] Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, who served during Bill Clinton
...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of the word is...
's presidency, wrote in a column published Friday that Elon Musk was "out of control," and argued he needed to be reined in.
If you don't control him, he's out of control by definition.
"He may be the richest man in the world. He may own one of the world's most influential social media platforms. But that doesn't mean we're powerless to stop him," Reich wrote, including a list of six things people could do to rein in Musk.
Under our Constitutional system, being out of government control is exactly the point of the Constitution.
After Musk purchased Twitter in 2022, now known as X, Reich deemed the purchase "dangerous nonsense." He argued Musk's purchase was "just about power," rather than free speech.
By its very existence, government is solely about power. Musk acquiring Twitter is about Free Speech in the face of overwhelming government power.
Reich called on people to boycott Tesla and X and added, "Regulators around the world should threaten Musk with arrest if he doesn't stop disseminating lies and hate on X."

#2  Big talk for a midget.

#3  They really hate people they can't control.
Posted by: Grom the Reflective || 09/02/2024 0:33 Comments || Top||

#4  So now he's an enemy. They need to be very careful about him. He is probably one of the most dangerous businessmen in the world. He builds rocket that shamed NASA, electric cars, owns X, and starlink. If you step back, he is a haircut and a cat away from Dr evil... Go ahead, piss him off...

#5  Visualize if you will, the results of an "out of control" entity.

#6  In the olden days the West was committed to free speech.

Censorship was so odious that even those who desired it wouldn't dare open advocacy. Ironically there was some self-censorship among the advocates of censorship.

That a former US cabinet secretary, i.e. not a fringe kook, would openly call for criminal prosecution, like Robert Yezhov Reich did shows the dangerous extent to which Western values in the traditional West have detriorated.

Free speech is not a luxury but a superior error detection and correction mechanism.

Without freedom the West will turn itself into a collection of Third World Sh**h**s no different from the rest of the world.

But apparently a large part of the Western elite class finds it desirable to absolutely rule decaying and failing nations.

#7  Dr Reich, I understand there's positions on the Brazilian Supeme Court you could go for.

#9  Elon Musk slams New York Times writer for calling the Constitution 'dangerous'

#10  Robert Reich was one of my half-a-dozen or so Professors at the K school. He's actually quite a very short person and full of himself. Almost makes one think he's an actual dwarf. Maybe he is? At the time I thought his oversized character and cartoon like antics while lecturing us during the twice weekly seminars to all be a put-on show. An exaggerated act designed solely to keep our attention focused on what normal folks might consider to be rather boring topics. "Public policy, Government obligations, When to intervene in public policy?, When to modify public administrations? etc. etc." Looking back on those days, it was distraction simply to make his proposals and ideas appear to be insightful. To make them seem more valuable than they would be in day-to-day practice. That was all a year or so before he was asked to be Sec of Labor. Later afterwards some of our Class could see through his ideas and most of his policies were simply unworkable piles of verbal garbage. What a Marxist. Masquerading as an enlightened optimist. Much like the matched pair of Harris and her "man-on-a-leash VP" side kick candidate "imposed by edict" from behind the curtain folks onto the Ballot for this November. Coddswallop. What a collective bunch idiots.

#11  When has the former secretary ever worked a business. Not to be confused with 'worked over'.

#12  When I was blogging as The Angry Cyclist, I'd fisk the hell out of this piece of communist $hit's Boston Globe columns. After a few dozen of them, I got bored with it.

#13  And we all know how important "Control" is to [The Fourth] Reich types.
