"...that could be argued to be a good or a bad thing..."
I can only note that it is both a good and a bad thing, as I try pretty hard to convey in the OP. The execrable fraud that has long been ongoing has overburdened the American people for too many decades, far too degraded our mutual respect by degrading our society, and considerably hampered our economy. I am nearly giddy with hope that these intolerable predations on the public purse can be restrained to the point that such noxious influence on society is dramatically curtailed. However, to expect the present ilk wielding the axe of budgetary bludgeoning to conscientiously pare away excesses of the DOD, is utterly farcical as "SpaceX's CEO Gwynne Shotwell has said the company has about $22 billion in government contracts."
That's a lot of reasons the Elon has to curb his enthusiasm for transparency and propriety of USG disbursements, and I do not find credible any expectation he - or anyone he might appoint or be substituted in to replace him - will undertake that Sisyphean task with pure integrity and without any hint of accountability by any other mechanism than what currently appears to be corrupt courts impeding slashing away corruption by the importunance of corrupt grifters that have wormed their way to election in the federal legislature. The American political landscape is obviously merely a contest between equally larcenous grifters, and seems to have no reliable component of civilian advocacy in the halls of power, being wholly dedicated to factional competition to fleece the hapless population instead.
Such appearance of swamp draining is merely the victory of the OG Democrats that have conquered the relic Republican Party over the NeoCons the new Democratic Party has become in the last 15 years. Mere factional competition, posturing as restoration of Constitutional government that fools Trump's cult of personality well enough at present to support their giddiness even I, not a Trump fan boy, am currently in the throes of. I don't have a better option to consider either. Given the critical import of the DOD to every aspect of DOGE and restoration of the USG accountability necessary to be responsive to the American people as Constitutionally prescribed, as it's involvement in the plandemic at every step in it's development and infliction on the world reveals, that is the critical swamp to control.
Given it's further involvement in that particular sticking point of genocidal ethnic cleansing and war crimes to facilitate real estate development for Trump and his Zionist pals of the Trump Resorts and Casino and natural gas reserve development on the ancestral homelands of the Palestinian people, my expected dismay at projected impact on geopolitical relations is dialed up to 11. I'm failing to see much that can rein in utterly intolerable and further involvement in military misadventurism in the Eastern Mediterranean, which runs the risk of destabilization of every political alliance and security of every people on Earth.
Stargate bodes ill, not just for the American people, but humanity, wielded by the ilk that have mandated GMO jabs for fun and profit for the last 5 years and are gearing up to commit genocide of one of the most ancient and maligned peoples on Earth to develop some goddamn condos and LPG extraction. I am reminded of the horrific genocide of the people of Darfur and the Janjaweed mercenary forces employed by the government of the Sudan to make room for development of the mineral resources found there back in the 1990s and 2000s.
We have seen that profiteering swats away accusations of genocide over mere mineral resources. The monetization of surveillance of the global population and imposition of a global technocratic totalitarian tyranny by such bastions of righteousness and champions of human rights as Larry Ellison makes my blood run cold, TBH. Resorting to rifles behind every blade of grass is every bit as unpalatable on careful consideration as it is at first glance, so I am at a loss as to how to overcome these impediments to human felicity and maintenance of the blessings of civilization by our posterity.
Thanks!
