Musk Spells Out The Treason Of Biden Administrations Illegal Immigrant Policy

 

 

While being questioned at the CPAC conference Thursday, Elon Musk detailed just how extreme the Biden administration was when it came to the opening the border and flooding the country with illegal aliens, how much illegal immigration was costing US Taxpayers and whent on to speculate as to why the Democrats were so eager to encourage more and more people to cross the borders illlegally into the United States.

Elon Musk

It’s important for people to understand the Biden Administration sent any possible money they could send to amplify illegal immigration,” Musk (above) stated.

He explained, “They took money from FEMA meant for helping Americans in distress and sent it to luxury hotels for illegal immigrants in NY. That is an outrage. They actually did that.”

“Not only that, even after The President (Trump) signed an EO saying it has to stop, the deep state bureaucrats still pressed send on $80M last week to send money to The Roosevelt Hotel and other places. Now they’re mad and they’re trying to sue to have it restored. The gumption of these people,” Musk told the crowd.

The U.S Government has been spending over two percent of its budget on supporting illegal immigration, throughout the Biden administration's years in office according to Musk's new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

"In 2023 alone, illegal immigration cost taxpayers $150.7 billion," the DOGE account posted to X on Tuesday.

Shortly after his victory in the 2024 election, President-elect Donald Trump appointed the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, alongside fellow billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy, to lead the newly established department dedicated to reducing unnecessary government bureaucracy and curbing wasteful spending.

Early estimates of reckless and wasteful spending by federal government agencies on illehal immigration reckon the amount that coud be saved is comparable to the $151 billion spent by the U.S. Government on income security programs for veterans and their survivors in 2023, according to fiscal accountability think tank The Peter G. Peterson Foundation.

The $150.7 billion bill would also equate to around 19 percent of U.S. defense spending in the 2023 financial year—$820.3 billion according to the Congressional Budget Office—or around 2.4 percent of the total $6.1 trillion in federal spending.

Newsmax host, Rob Schmitt then asked the de facto Doge of DC “Do you think they were trying to create a new voter class?”

Musk replied “Yes. Look at basic incentives. If the probability that an illegal is going to vote Democrat is 80-90% then the incentive is to maximized the number of illegals in the country.”

“That is why the Biden administration was pushing to get in as many illegals as possible, because every one of them is a customer of the welfare system. Every one of them is a potential voter. The entire thing is a giant voter import scam,” Musk asserted.

“Then they created this CBP1 app to literally fly people in. When people are being flown in at your expense that is crazy. Then we found out some guy in London was paid $100M to make this app,” The DOGE chief added.

“When they’re flying illegals into the swing states, it’s not going to be a swing state for long,” he further contended.

Meanwhile, Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff and former immigration czar Stephen Miller outlined how there has been a 95 percent reduction in the monthly flow of illegal migrants at the border.

“President Trump, within days of taking office, cut border crossings 95 percent and those few who have dared to cross are being either prosecuted or deported,’ MIller told the leftist media in the briefing.

Miller declared “The criminals are going home. The border is sealed shut. America is safe, sovereign, proud, and free. We are a nation that everyone in the world understands — all across this planet — [where] you do not come here illegally, you will not get in, you will go to jail, you will go home, you will not succeed. This is the biggest and most successful change in any area of law enforcement that this nation has ever seen, and he did it in under one month. Thank you.”

Mass Immigration is far more sinister motives than simply adding voters pre - programmed to vote for the party that promises and give the most handouts.

The immediate purpose is not so much to get more  leftist voters as to break down the country (morally, financially, spiritually) to make it prepared for a full globalist takeover. If we focus on the kind of whack-a-mole approach of focusing on each individual bad thing they’ve been doing and trying to figure out why they were doing it, it’s a bit of a waste of time and energy.

The ultimate goal is to displace, dispossess and ultimately subjugate the historic English speaking peoples who created The United States, via mass non white immigration.

It has to be said here that much the same thing has been going on in UK & Ireland, Germany, France, Nethrlands, Italy, Spain and most western and south european contries with leftist and globalist governments opening borders and allowing uncontolled numbers of illiterate, uneducated, unskilled economic migrants into civilised societies and then accomodating and supporting them at the expense of the taxpayers.

U.S. Energy Secretary Lashes Out At UK's Sinister And Unrealistic Net Zero Targets

 

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright,  speaking at a London conference on Monday, condemned the United Nations backed 2050 net-zero emissions target as a "sinister goal" and criticized the U.K.'s clean energy policies which aim to have our country 'lead the world to economic and social breakdown Net Zero, according to Reuters.

With President Trump having already taken steps to abandon the target, which was embraced enthusiastically by the far left apparatchiks who created and implemented policies for the previous administration of mentally incapacitated Joe Biden, Wright said,: "Net Zero 2050 is a sinister goal. It's a terrible goal. The aggressive pursuit of it - and you're sitting in a country that has aggressively pursued this goal - has not delivered any benefits, but it's delivered tremendous costs."

Addressing the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship event, Wright emphasized his top priority: for the government to "get out of the way" of oil, gas, and coal production.

 

The Reuters report states that Wright highlighted the Trump administration’s approval of the Commonwealth LNG export terminal in Louisiana Wright underscored the importance of  hydrocarbons', adding, "The world simply runs on hydrocarbons, and for most of their uses, we don't have replacements."

Criticizing Britain's net-zero push led by Prime Minister Kweir Smarmer and swivel eyed Net Zero fanatic Energy Secretary Mad Ed Miliband, he argued the policy and the ill considered efforts to be first in the world to reach the impossible target had already harmed living standards, destroyed jobs and by taxing CO2 emitting industries into insolvency had merely shifted emissions abroad. "No one's going to make an energy-intensive product in the United Kingdom any more. It's just been displaced somewhere else," he said, calling the policy "lunacy" that is impoverishing your own citizens in a delusion that this is somehow going to make the world a better place."

Prime Minister Starmer, however, has made clean energy central to his economic strategy, focusing on offshore wind for job creation and growth even though this source is so economically unviable that the world's biggest offshore and farm operator, Orsted, has cancelled planned developments in UK waters . Former President Donald Trump also weighed in on UK Net Zeto lunacy, urging the U.K. to "open up" North Sea oil and gas and scrap wind farms, but it seems the government are not getting the message.

“Energy bills are set to rise again due to a spike in global gas markets,”  Miliband claimed this week. This latest rise means that the price cap administered by energy retail market regulator Ofgem will also rise this April. This will be the third price cap increase since the General Election lsast July, when Miliband campaigned on a promise of ‘lower bills’after the transition to green energy. “This will put up energy bills because of our reliance on global fossil fuel markets controlled by petrostates and dictators,” the Secretary of State for Rising Energy Prices and Outright Falsehoods idiotically added. There is trouble, and likely blackout and electricity rationing ahead, but rather than admit this is simply because wind and solar genertion simply does not work when the wind does not work and the sun doesn't shine, (the latter being guaranteed for an everage of twelve hours a day over the full year,)  and face up to these problems, Miliband merely gaslights the public. It is never mentioned by politicians or mainstream media of course tat the previous wannabe leader of the race to net zero, Germany, has to abandon its rush to clean green electricity and restart coal fired power stations late in 2023 when the failure of wind and solar and the loss of cheap gas supplies from Russia left the country facing blacouts ad rationing of electricity use.

There are so many problems with Miliband’s claims it is clear he was desperately lying to deflect attention from the stupidity of his policies. 

The first is that there is no “global” gas market – a fact that one might expect the most senior Minister with an energy brief to understand. This fact is easily demonstrated by a comparison or natural gas prices on different markets. At the time of writing, according to the Trading Economics platform, gas was selling for £0.117 per therm in Britain and $4 per MMMbtu in the USA – translated, this means gas is 4p per kWh in the UK and 1p per kWh in the USA. If there was a “global market” for the energy commodity, these prices would be much closer – within the order of a few per cent, as with oil, not one many times larger than the other. There is no more a “global market” for gas than there is a global market for blowjobs.

If the CEO or Finance Director of any listed company misled the markets and investors in the way the Labour Party has, they would be in a world of trouble. How can politicians not be accountable in the same way?

The Artificial Intelligence Takeover: Oligarchic Insanity or Delusional Stupidity?

 V N Alexander writes in OffGuardian 

"I am thrilled that the Tech Bros are tearing down the old system, I’m worried they will replace inefficient centralized control and bureaucracy with more efficient AI centralized control and bureaucracy. Collapsing the old system of governance is something, not incidentally perhaps, the WEF has promoted as necessary for the 4th Industrial Revolution, the transhuman revolution.

Elon Musk (at the helm of Neuralink, Starlink), Larry Ellison (with Oracle), Peter Thiel and Alex Karp (who founded Palantir) have all expressed enthusiasm for merging biology with technology, figuring out how to live forever, micro-managing society using algorithms and AI surveillance, and other stupid things.

They each currently have oversized roles in or adjacent to the US federal government.

Should we be concerned?"

Before the US and UK elections of 2024, during America's four years of Biden insanity and the UK's insaneyears of four Prime Ministers (2019 - 2022), along with the constant demonstration of the insanity of the “left-wing, woke” influence in politics another threat to democracy was growing from tech-moguls (The Tech Bros.) intent using their vast wealth and truncated moral compasses to buy political influence. It is interesting how the far left has put this in the right wing spectrum when The Tach Bros are most often assocated with woke ideology or at the very least the now somewhat outdated concepts of 'progressive liberalism until we get to their ambitions to but all government and business administration matters under the control of Artificial Intelligence and implant microchips in all our brains so that we can be constantly surveiled and controlled by supercomputers in their data centres. 

Wait, who wanted this free AI? When did we vote to have our lives taken over by computers. What exactly is good about this? (Of course, vast part of younger people want it and are delighted, this is the situation because they have been brainwashed in school, by TV and online to believe cyberslavery offers a better future than freedom.) Is this good news? Is this a race, or a synchronized global pseudo-race for radical reconstruction in a mode of false competition? (Here I am already very conspiratorial, there is no way “everyone can be together in this”, they are at war – factions, states, unions..) Wasn’t there something, some kind of principled battle against these things, instead of only against the “bad guys/leftist/foreign tech”, whereby “ours” are good, or at least “inevitability, normal technological development”?

This plan could be dubbed a “better great reset”, with erasure of The World Economic Forum, the murder of the far left and the establishment of a global technocracy.People will be told, forget this stupid principled battle against the radical transformation of societies controlled by a socialist elite with your best interests at heart. Grlobal technocracy is already a fact of life, the cyberoligarchs are here and will run your lives more efficiently than you ever could yourselves, but give us, The Tech Bros 1, absolute power and we will use them for good, let the computers choose good people to apply them for good”… And then there’s the “global technology race.” Elon and his new best friend Donald Trump announce Stargate – the next day the Chinese announce a cool open-source ChatGpt, free for everyone, everyone!

And a large part of the media fell for it: “The Chinese released this Deep Seek AI for free, for everyone, not like the nasty American capitalists!” and also “The Chinese are advancing! We have to catch up with them!"

In Russia too, AI is a hot topic, The Kremlin popaganda machine says: “We need to implement AI everywhere, in every sector of society. AI technologies have great potential to transform society and bring a better future to our citizens… We need to develop Russian AI in order not to lag behind the technological race.”

But wait, before we get carried away with the hype let's pause for reality. Thinking and learning is an iterative process involving dynamic brain waves that are emergent from complex adaptive neurons. Waves are not bits. A memory (knowledge) is a type of neural behavior that is never quite the same twice and can’t be abstracted and uploaded into a brain. I’ve studied the infamous paper that claims uploading false memories is possible: but, in fact, they can only condition past memories, that is, associate feelings (hormonal responses) with past memories.

Neuralink can’t implant ideas and doesn’t read minds. Neuralink merely interfaces with motor control areas of the brain, not with memories or thoughts or language. So, the only “bits” going from brain to computer are those that can be used to activate a mouse, click, and swipe. The nerds employed by The Tech Bros. confuse motor impulses with thoughts, and believe Neuralink will some day be able to help us achieve “symbiosis” with computers and “better align Artificial Intelligence with human collective will.” They do not seem to be aware of the difference between playing a video game faster and acting more intelligently in the world.

 

Having tried Deep Seek as I tried ChatGPT when it was launched I observe that they have an important feature in common. Both thesre 'Intelligent' systems become more stupid the more abstract the questions fed to them become. Or to put it bluntly, ask AI a question that requires thought and analysis, reason, logic or any of the other cognitive skills that define human intelligence and they're fucked.

How fucked? you might well ask.

Fucking fucked it the honest answer Artificial Intelligence could never give.

More Globalist Psychopathy: How the Merging of Humans and Technology Will Define The Furure
A presentation at the World Government Summit (WGS) last week in Dubai, unveiled the conference organizers agenda for a Brave New World. Titled “Government in 2071 initiative" the plan was described as a roadmap for governments to interact with “citizens and stakeholders” in effecting dramatic changes in the way the world is governed and societies are organised. Drivers of these radical changes in the way we live will be Artificial Intelligence, robotics and climate change.

World Economic Forum Calls for Merging of Human and Artificial Intelligence to Censor ‘Hate Speech’ & ‘Misinformation’

Despite the fact that they represent only the interests of big business, big finance and themselves, the oligarchs of the World Economic Forum are now calling for a policy of merging human and artificial intelligence systems so that computer chips implanted in our brain can edit and censor “hate speech” and “misinformation” online before it is articulated trough spoken of written word online.

Could 'DNA editing' lead to designer babies? Designer babies, human / animal hybrids, these things have been in wet dream territory for scientists for a long time. But now due to techniques such as DNA editing, they are getting worryingly close to reality. And as has been demonstrated many times, scientists have zero uderstanding of where the ethical boundaries lie.

After German Thought Police Raid Homes For ‘Racist Memes,' Elon Musk responds: ‘Thank The Lord That America Has Freedom Of Speech’

 

After American TV news magazine “60 Minutes” screened a special on German hate speech laws which featured police raids on citizens across the country a backlash was triggered that could causer a potential diplomatic fallout between the U.S. and Germany and certainly led to a meltdown on certain parts  of social media

The 60 Minutes  program, made by American news network CBS, prompted Elon Musk to respond to the shocking clips of police state tactics being used by the increasingly authoritarian, far left ruling coalition, writing: “Thank the Lord that America has freedom of speech.”

Despite widespread criticism of Germany’s slide towards becoming an authoritarian police state, despite government claims that they are defending democracy, is little different from the Nazis in the 1930s, the police, legal authorities and the interior ministry show no signs of eassing back with raids against individuals posting “hate speech,” “insults,’ or “racist memes.”

Now German politicians are also jumping on the bandwagon after simply snivelling the usuak politically correct cliches whenever the topic of immigration was rased for years. With the AfD, party soaring in polls and the election a few days away, a top member of the Free Democrats (FDP), the party which made the election necessary by resigning from the ruling coalition because of extremist policies demanded by their partners, Wolfgang Kubicki, stating on X: “Anyone who can still sleep peacefully in the face of such images has not understood the value of freedom of opinion for the democratic community. Freedom of opinion is the basis of freedom in general. These searches undermine confidence in the validity of the Basic Law. We will ensure that the next Bundestag prevents such authoritarian excesses.”

However, the house raids may also result in diplomatic fallout between the U.S. and Germany.

“Insulting someone is not a crime, and criminalizing speech is going to put a real strain on European-US relationships. This is Orwellian, and everyone in Europe and the US must reject this lunacy,” wrote Vice President JD Vance.”

The 60 minutes special  also features German prosecutors laughing over the house searches conducted in Germany, with one German X user, Marc A. Wilms, writing: “This shows how quickly we have landed in Orwellian conditions. By the way, these gentlemen are having a lot of fun with the fact that people are shocked when their mobile phones are taken away during a house search.

Despite criticism for Germany’s slide towards an authoritarian police state, the police authorities and the interior ministry show no signs of slowing down with raids against individuals posting “hate speech,” “insults,’ or “racist memes.”

Now, German politicians are also chiming in, with a top member of the Free Democrats (FDP), MP Wolfgang Kubicki, stating on X: “Anyone who can still sleep peacefully in the face of such images has not understood the value of freedom of opinion for the democratic community.

“Insulting someone is not a crime, and criminalizing speech is going to put a real strain on European-US relationships. This is Orwellian, and everyone in Europe and the US must reject this lunacy,” wrote Vice President JD Vance.

Musk has also issued more than one tweet in the wake of the CBS special.

He also reposted other segments of the 60 Minutes special, including a post from John LeFevre, where he wrote: “Calling a rapist is more offensive than being a rapist in Germany. And 60 Minutes is ok with this…”

The video also features German prosecutors who have a laugh over the house searches conducted in Germany, with one German X user, Marc A. Wilms, writing: “This shows how quickly we have landed in Orwellian conditions. By the way, these gentlemen are having a lot of fun with the fact that people are shocked when their mobile phones are taken away during a house search. ‘Even if they are not punished further, just taking it away is punishment in itself! Hehe!’ From a program that aired on US TV.”

One of the main points raised over and over again in the backlash against the authoritarian policy is whether an “insult” is a crime. In the show, German prosecutors tell CBS, without a hint of embarrassment that “insulting” a member of a protected minority or a politician is a crime, and even reposting an insult is a crime.

One of the main points is whether an “insult” is a crime. German prosecutors tell CBS that “insulting” someone or a politician is a crime, and even reposting an insult is a crime.

Notably, hundreds of people, if not thousands , have had their homes searched and their internet enabled devices seized, as well as being threatened with prosecution, for “insulting” politicians. Among the insults included calling Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock the “worst foreign minister.” In another case, a man had his home raided when he called Economics Minister Robert Habeck an “idiot.”

However, when those same insults and worse are directed at members of the centre - right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, surprise, surprise, it is not then a prosecutable offense .

Just a few months ago, for instance, a federal court in Cologne’s found that extremist threats against the AfD constituted “freedom of expression.”

“Break down their doors and gates, slap them in the face. Vomit in their faces. I don’t give a sh*t,” said public figure Peter Fischer to German state television channel RTL. Despite his comments being a blatant incitement to violence violence against the party and its supporters, the court claimed the violent statements from Fischer, the former president of the Eintracht Frankfurt football club, are protected speech under German law. 

All we can say it is seems Naziism is back with a vengange in Germany. Deutschland, Deutschland Uber Alles and all that.

Strategic Defence Review Lobbies For Incresed Spending On Military While Reeves Struggles To Find £12bn For Starmer's Current Spending Pledge

 by Colonel A Sealy - Farquhar, 17 February 2025

Rachel Reeves will have to bump up taxes by an extra £12bn if she wants to boost defence spending to 2.5pc of GDP in line with Keir Starmer's pledge to NATO and at the same time avoid a fresh round of austerity.

Economists have warned that Sir Keir Starmer’s ambition to bolster the defence budget implied the Chancellor would have to raise taxes or cut spending by £6bn a year alone if she wanted to hit the target by the end of the decade. Unfortunately Starmer and other European idiot heads oif government want that now because they fancy their chances of holding the line against Russia in Ukraine if President Trump cuts off the supply of arms and money to Kiev. Starmer has also allied himself with European warmongers who claim, without anything to substantiate their paranoid ravings, that if Ukraine falls Putin plans to advance right through Europe to the Atlantic coast. They back this up by suggesting The Kremlin is already conducting a campaign of intimidation, blackmail, and political leverage against European nations.

Ensuring that no Whitehall department faces real-terms cuts to its budget for day-to-day spending during this parliament would mean that £12bn of tax rises will be needed, according to the Resolution Foundation.

While Labour has not set out a timetable for raising defence spending to 2.5pc of the economy, military chiefs tasked with carrying out a Stratefic Defence Review, with a view tio reparing the UK to face Russia in armed conflict shortly after the Labour government took office have been piling pressure on the Prime Minister to go further and faster amid demands from Donald Trump to lift spending to as much as 5pc of GDP.

This means Chancellor Reeves faces the prospect of being forced to break her promise not to “come back with more borrowing or more taxes” less than six months after her record tax raid. Alternatively, she risks angering public sector unions by imposing deep spending cuts to unprotected Whitehall departments such as transport and housing.

While the Chancellor has suggested funding for Starmer's delusional posturing will come from cuts to spending and welfare, the Treasury has left the door open for more tax rises in March against a backdrop of low growth and higher borrowing costs.

Military spending demands and the pressure to protect certain government department’s budgets mean unprotected departments face finding total cuts of up to £12bn, or the equivalent of 6pc in real terms over this parliament.

Clearly, defence spending can be a technological driver of growth and the Military Industrial Complex a generally stable provider of employment and therefore taxable income. But UK’s relative economic position vis-à-vis the US and western Europe (and why not eastern Europe and the east?) is very much more dependent on service industries, which are best served by (a) a government which supports innovation and entrepreneurship, (b) a government promoting good relationships with all countries in the world and (c) inexpensive and stable energy supply. All of these things are under attack by the Labour governments foreign, business and energy policies.

The EU is a restrictive market so it was a good idea to leave it. As a small example, I recently learned that Japan imports its strawberries from Serbia, one of the few European – strawberry producing – countries not in the EU. Japan is a big market!

There is no Soviet bloc anymore and the Cuban missile crisis should remind you how understandable it is that a country will not accept another country placing missiles aimed at its main cities directly on its border. This was the main reason for Russia's first militarily approaching Kiev to convince the Ukrainian government that Moscow was serious about not having NATO missiles on its border and, when that was unsuccessful (because Russia naively believed France and Germany would convince Ukraine to step back), Russia was forced to invade.

We should not forget the US and NATO build up of weapons and military training in Ukraine since 2014 (and probably before), the push by the Obama and Biden administrations to fast track Ukraine into NATO nor the CIA training of Ukrainian insurgents at a dozen secret sites on the border to Russia (as reported by the New York Times, https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/25/world/europe/cia-ukraine-intelligence-russia-war.html).

Some pundits have said we must never allow ourselves to be put in a position where we have choose between aligning ourselves with the United States or Europe when, firstly, there is no reason for the two to be exclusive and, secondly, USA has just distanced itself from Europe (including UK) in telling us that Ukraine is forthwith our problem. That sounds rather like the US playing its standard role of school playground bully: you either do business with us or we sanction/tax/tariff you! But the world is tired of such behaviour which is one reason why BRICS is so successful.

My point is that UK should keep itself well away from all conflicts and, instead, encourage peace and wealth through business while having a healthy and strong defence force, but it should only be used for defence and not for aggression.

And the only intimidation, blackmail, and political leverage we are suffering from is from our own politicians.
