I can’t believe i used the word doge to describe a government agency. I hate the internet.

they have census and population data for the entire US. this gives them the ability to map out not only density of citizens but variations of wealth, gender, race, age, skill, education, etc.

for the next phase of DOGE they will need this information to create their network states.

the government will collapse by mid-March or earlier. that’s why Trump pushed his “tariffs” out 30 days. it’s not tariffs, it’s a countdown.

they’re going to declare a state of emergency over something within the next two weeks. consolidate the national guards and national police force together to round up citizens. arrest and deport the “undesirables”, and institute the formation of their network state.

DOGE doesn’t mean Department of Government Efficiency.

Death Of Governments Everywhere

Running will only delay the inevitable. those who are actively pursuing the end of democracy need to be removed from society if we want to continue down the path of a Democratic government.

this is no longer an administration that can be protested or discussed. this is a war for the very survival of millions of Americans and the future of our world as we know it. it’s about as bad as a nuclear bomb going off.

don’t believe me? take 30 minutes to watch this. keep in mind, it’s from two months ago.

I spread this video around like a few weeks ago. It reeks of Lefty q-anon. It’s fine if you feel differently but no one wanted to engage on it. I’m not talking about content either. I’m talking how they framed their argument. Would love to really discuss this video in a different setting but like I said I spread it a over and it only made people upset.

I have my doubts but we will see. I don’t think you’re far off but I think your timeline is a bit drastic. We can already see trump pull back the reigns here or there, why would he if he’s getting ready to plunge in feet first?

I think it’s a feint. the anger and emotional turmoil of the American public can’t boil over yet and he wants to use that as a force for push us towards attacking the government.

they’re weakening the established government agencies that protect the public. once all the cards are set he’ll push for the public to attack because, “they failed to protect you from me” or “they failed you and now you’re suffering because of it”.

they already tricked Americans to vote against their own interests, it’s not that far to make them attack the only true ally we have in a blind rage.

I don’t think it reeks of any left qanon conspiracy. two months ago I would have questioned it, but now I think it makes more sense than “the Nazis are taking over”.

I’m just saying, if the author of the video wanted to send a message, stealing from the q anon play book was so wildly misguided.

I am partial to the rest of what you said but Census data were already publicly available and actually what they did was make it less accessible to data scientists and researchers like me working on the normal kind of regional planning stuff.

but it was generalized. now they have the names, addresses of every American. they need that when they start pumping the police state oppression on the people.

They have your social security numbers as well as other personal legal information. Time to rig some polls or manufacture reasons for you to get arrested and be out of the regime’s hair.

Yeah, the point of dog whistles is to fly under the radar. Which means they steal popular symbols to use, so they can have the plausible deniability of “lol we were just posting memes about a comic frog” if anyone confronts them for their nazi shit.

Do I remember correctly that Pepe dies in the comic because the author didn’t want to keep producing material for them to hijack?

To me, it’s ok, because the people behind it pronounce it dōj and I always pronounced it doggy. So now we know the evil pronunciation is dōj.

I pronounce it like doge. You know, like dog but with a long o, since that’s normally what happens when you add an e at the end of a word.

Sadly wasn’t sure which one you were referring to with your last statement. I guess there aren’t public allegations of rape against Musk, just sexual harassment. Fuck this timeline.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s terrible that they were granted access to very sensitive information (government contracts, employee data, probably tax returns last I heard) with no oversight. That’s gone, no way back.

But make no mistake, this is not a heist. It’s a coup. They are seizing control of meta-infrastructures of the government: payroll, contracts, payments, communications, software. This is how you hold a country hostage.

The only way we’re going to get our country back is if we get a sane Democrat in office that rules the same way Trump does.

So it’s never happening.

You can’t play by the rules while your opponent cheats and expect anything but to lose.

The way things are going, the next “vote” you’ll get is to ratify the new and improved constitution. I’ve actually seen a couple of coups first hand, that’s usually how it goes.

People don’t get to vote for a new constitution. That’s for states or Congress.
