Musk has Trump on a string and Trump makes a good puppet!
The Trump ally and DOGE chief is expected to turn his budget-slashing sights on the FAA’s little-known commercial spaceflight office, which has proposed fines and grounded SpaceX after explosions and other incidents.ProPublicaby Heather VogellFeb. 11, 2025When SpaceX’s Starship exploded in January, raining debris over the Caribbean, the Federal Aviation Administration temporarily grounded the rocket program and ordered an investigation. The move was the latest in a series of actions taken by the agency against the world’s leading commercial space company.“Safety drives everything we do at the FAA,” the agency’s chief counsel said in September, after proposing $633,000 in fines for alleged violations related to two previous launches. “Failure of a company to comply with the safety requirements will result in consequences.”SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s response was swift and caustic. He accused the agency of engaging in “lawfare” and threatened to sue it for “regulatory overreach.” “The fundamental problem is that humanity will forever be confined to Earth unless there is radical reform at the FAA!” Musk wrote on X.Today, Musk is in a unique position to deliver that change. As one of President Donald Trump’s closest advisers and head of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, he’s presiding over the administration’s effort to cut costs and slash regulation.While it’s unclear what changes his panel has in store for the FAA, current and former employees are bracing for Musk to focus on the little-known part of the agency that regulates his rocket company: the Office of Commercial Space Transportation, known as AST. “People are nervous,” said a former employee who did not want to be quoted by name talking about Musk.
And Trump just sits there with a "Sh*t Eating Grin" on his face while Musk runs the show. Meanwhile Congress is sitting there quaking in their boots in fear of Musk. They are afraid, thanks to the Supreme Court's Citizens United, of Musk dumping millions of dollars in the elections against them.
But that is not only where the silent coup is happening... it is also happening in the military! White Christian Nationalist are taking over the military. This was written in 2020...
The ConversationistWhite nationalist groups, who make up some of the most serious terror threats in the country, find new members and support in the U.S. military. These groups believe that white people are under attack in America.In their effort to create an all-white country where nonwhites do not have civil rights protections, these groups often instigate violent confrontations that target racial and religious minorities. Since 2018, white supremacists have conducted more lethal attacks in the United States than any other domestic extremist movement.[...]White nationalists active in the militaryResearchers do not have reliable data on how many active duty or veteran service members belong to white nationalist groups. But current military members are increasingly aware of the influence of far-right groups in the ranks.In the most recent poll by Military Times, an independent media organization covering the military, about one-fifth of service members have reported seeing signs of white nationalism or racist ideology in the military community. Those include the casual use of racial slurs and anti-Semitic language, and even explosives deliberately arranged in the shape of a swastika.More than one-third of service members surveyed in 2018 said white nationalism is a significant threat to the country – which is more than were seriously concerned about threats from Syria, Afghanistan or immigration.
Congress is also worried...
Congressional concernLawmakers have been paying attention to the problem. In 2019, the House of Representatives approved a requirement to screen potential military enlistees for signs of white nationalism, as part of the Pentagon’s annual budget allocation. But the Senate removed that provision before sending the bill to the White House for the president’s signature.Military and academic experts agree that violent ideologies in the ranks make it harder for soldiers to form the bonds of trust with one another that they rely on in combat.
I worry about the new Secretary of Defense is a White Christian Nationalist!
Interfaith AllianceBy Zev MishellNovember 19, 2024The Trump-Vance administration is nominating Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host and right-wing pundit, to serve as the Secretary of Defense. If confirmed, Hegseth would be the least experienced Secretary of Defense in history and would present a host of problems to our military and government. Interfaith Alliance is deeply concerned about the threat his appointment poses to religious freedom and urges senators to vote against him.Our religious liberty concerns are rooted in Hegseth’s long and deep ties to religious extremism. In recent days, the media has reported that he has tattoos of the Jerusalem Cross and the Latin words “Deus vult,” or “God wills it”, both of which are symbols from the Christian Crusades in the Middle Ages. Deus vult in particular has come to be associated with white supremacist activity; when he was serving in the military, one of his fellow service members reported him as a potential “insider threat”, and he was barred from working at President Biden’s inauguration.Hegseth claims that raising questions about his tattoos amounts to “anti-Christian bigotry.” But there’s nothing inherently anti-Christian about opposing Christian nationalism and white supremacy. Christians themselves are leading the charge against Christian nationalism through the Christians Against Christian Nationalism campaign. Speaking out against religious extremism is not anti-religious; it’s something that many mainstream religious leaders embrace as part of their calling.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation reports,
Emergency Video Message from Mikey Weinstein for Service Members Fearful of Being Given Illegal Orders by the MAGA DoD or MAGA SuperiorsJanuary 29, 2025For the last ten days, MRFF has been inundated with hundreds of calls from clients anxiously asking the same question:“What do I do if I’m given an illegal order by Trump and his minions?”As Mikey Weinstein explains in this emergency video message, these illegal orders could be issued under the Insurrection Act, where Trump decides he can order the military to do anything, with the most gut-wrenching possibility being an order to shoot unarmed civilians.Mikey’s message to all service members:If you have any concerns about any order, come to us. We are working with an organization, one of the principals of which has been close to MRFF for many years. This organization will find you a competent former Judge Advocate General (JAG), either pro bono or “low bono,” to help you fight back.
The "Enemy Within" is Trump and Musk! What does this say about our current "Commander in Chief" that those under him are worried about being called out to suppress legal peaceful protests?
I have received some comments (enough of them that I feel that I have to comment upon.) about not writing more about trans stuff, that my blog is no longer a trans blog but a "left wing" political blog.
Take this post is about Musk and the military... what's trans about these?
Well first off, Musk is strongly anti-trans. Second Trump is kicking out trans military servicemembers! Second the military is being filled with "Christian Nationalist" who are eager to go and stamp out the trans people and bash some gay heads.
Politics are crushing us. We need to stand and take actions.
Have you written to any of your representatives?
Have you remained silent while Trump passes all these illegal Executive Orders against us?
Have you spoken against any anti-trans or for any pro-trans proposed bills?
Have you spoken up when you hear hate?
Remember the words of Edmund Burke in 1795...
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”
