Kaizen D. Asledu breaks down the CR Bill for the American people

Harvard graduate and Emmy Winner, Kaizen D. Asledu, breaks down the CR Bill for the American people.

Congress failed to pass a budget Bill and it looks like we're headed for a government shutdown.  In large part this is due to Elon Musk now depending on how you feel about Elon you might view this as a positive thing or negative thing, and in this video I'm going to give you comprehensive context on what exactly is going on and I'm also going to offer you my perspective on the influence of Elon, billionaires more generally, and the legislative process.  

Here are the facts.

Every year Congress has from about February to October 1st to pass a bill for the following year.  So this year in 2024, they are forming the budget for 2025.  However, if they miss that October 1st deadline, then they form what is called a CR Bill, or a Continuing Resolution Bill. That bill is meant to be a temporary measure that maintains a prior year's level of funding in order to prevent a government shutdown, and they need to pass that bill before December 20th when all the Congress people go home for Christmas in order to ensure that the government doesn't shut down. 

Now, the concept of a government shutdown sounds bad, but it's pretty common.  There have been 21 government shutdowns in the last 50 years and even during a government shutdown essential services are still maintained, like the operation of our military or Social Security.  So in this case, the CR bill would have just typically mimicked 2024 levels of funding for 2025.  

However there are several things that make this year unique.  First, is its length.  It's 1547 pages long, and only 8 [pages] are actually CR Bill.  The rest of them are supplemental funding and legislation.  [I'd be very concerned about that legislation that no one has read.]

The second thing is that rather than just maintaining 2024 levels of funding, there's actually $100 billion dollars extra allocated to this CR Bill.  Most of that $100 billion is for disaster relief.  And $100 billion constitutes a 6% increase over 2024's budget.  

Now you might not have any issues with that, but what is raising hackles is the fact that most Congress people had less than 24 hours to read the entire 1500-page bill.  Most Congress people were given the Bill on December 17th and expected to vote on it less than 24 hours later on December 18th. This is because both Democratic and Republican leadership in the house formed the Bill, but that process wasn't transparent to the rest of the Congress people.  On top of all that, there were specific provisions in the Bill that many people objected to, like, for example, the fact that it gave a pay increase to members of Congress; it's worth noting that the pay increase is relatively modest, around 3%, and it's a cost of living increase.  That said, many people objected to the fact that Congress people would be giving themselves a pay increase at all, given the state of the country and the fact that many people are struggling to get their bills paid.  There's also the fact that the bill would allow Congress people to be exempt from Obamacare, even though the average American is not.  Or the fact that the bill allocates funding for the Global Engagement Center which many people have critiqued as a propaganda instrument and censorship instrument that is been used against the American people and now it's getting even more funding.

Now I think it's fair to say that under normal circumstances, the vast majority of Americans would not have any idea what a CR bill is what a CR bill is being passed or the fact that it's being passed or the fact that is 1500 pages and Congress people are given less than 24 hours to read it.  But what's unprecedented about this is that Elon Musk heard about it and started posting a lot about the whole situation on X.  

Because Elon has such a huge following, that caused many people to get into an uproar and that caused many people to start calling their Congress people to have the CR Bill not passed.  And for the record, I called representative Mike Johnson, who is a leader of Republican in the House to express my personal disapproval for the manner in which the CR bill is being passed,  And if you feel the same, I recommend that you take action by calling his office too.  What Elon and many people were objecting to is the manner in which the  CR Bill was being passed, the contents of the CR Bill, and the timeline for the CR Bill being passed as well.  And the CR Bill did have bipartisan support from leadership of the Democrats and the Republican party.  Now that leadership has argued that this is a bipartisan Bill and the $100 billion extra is needed for disaster relief that the American people have wanted for months.  But I would argue, if that's the case pass the disaster relief as a separate bill rather than making it part of a 1500 page behemoth that none of you are even actually reading and regardless this is a fundamentally broken process we have politicians using money that is not theirs to give themselves pay raises and paying for things that they haven't even read using our money that we can't afford.

Now some people have objected to Elon Musk influence, particularly Democrats and to that I would respond with three things one on the partisan angle there's actually a two to one ratio of Democratic donors to Republican donors who are billionaires.  In fact, in the 2024 election, the Kamala campaign had $1 billion dollars that they spent, whereas the Trump campaign had $400 million.  But partisanship aside, Elon is actually quite unique in that we can actually see the influence that he is having in large part because in this particular case his influence was simply using his voice and amplifying it to his large audience and in reality it was not just Elon saying that he opposes it was the people agreeing that they also oppose the CR process as well.  Now, I think it's reasonable to be skeptical of anyone's influence, billionaire or not.  And Elon certainly has a lot of influence and some of it we can't see and is not transparent but in this particular case we can see exactly what he was standing for and his individual voice only helped amplify the voices of millions of people who disagreed with this entire dysfunctional process.  Now on the flip side, do we get to see any of the influence of George Soros or Bill Gates or any of these democratic Mega donors or Republican Mega donors for that matter on the Democratic process?  But all of that aside, I think this is actually a tremendously positive development for all of America.  So many of us have become disillusioned by politics because we feel that politicians don't have our best interest in mind and we feel like no matter who is in office nothing seems to change but what's changed this time is that we have a degree of transparency and a Public Square in X, where we can actually speak up and we can actually be listened to if enough of us actually exercise our power as a people.  I mean look at what happened.  Elon Musk his Watchtower and the rest of us did as well.  [What, so the virtues of mob rule?]  And as a result of that public pressure our elected representatives heard our voice is realize that we are watching and realize that they could not engage in this dysfunctional process and waste our tax money because they didn't have their shit together.  We made it clear to our Representatives what we actually want done with our money and they responded and that if that's not Democratic principles in action I don't know what is the reason we felt so disempowered about American politics for so long is because for so long the government has operated in secrecy and when there is secrecy the government has power over the people but when there's transparency the people have power over the government and this bodes extremely well for the success of DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency for the next four years.  Because now that we see that when we have transparency, the voice of the people actually matters.  Imagine what's going to happen when there's a dedicated Department that is focused on bringing transparency to the people so that we can call out abuses of power and make sure that our money is responsibly spent?  So are there things to watch out for with the influence of billionaires more generally?  Of course.  Are there things to watch out for the influence of Elon Musk in particular?  Of course.  But at least we can see what he's doing, and in this case I think what he's doing is a good thing

PETER ST ONGE: That means DOGE and Trump are simply enacting the will of the Supreme Court, which the Rogue Biden Administration ignored.

The Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, is going straight for the jugular for the exhaust ports on the Death Star. Last week, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy co-wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal laying out their strategy for radically shrinking the federal government, the unelected occupying Army that Lords over our Fair Republic.  Beyond auditing the $500 billion in pure waste and fraud, there are two key parts.  First is two recent Supreme Court decisions that invalidated nearly the entire administrative state because it was not, in fact, passed by Congress, who is supposed to write all the laws not just the fun ones.  The second is the long-established precedent that the president can get rid of government workers who are not needed, a so-called "reduction in force."  Put them together and you get a beautiful three-step process: first, get rid of the unconstitutional regulation that renders the bureaucrats redundant so assess minimum Staffing needs and force reduce away then the leftover money reverts to Treasury to cancel out the leftover deficit, or dare we dream pay down debt if greedy Congress things can keep their paws to themselves.  I covered in a recent video how the Loper-Bright decision alone renders nearly every single Federal Regulation unconstitutional since just 50 of the tens of thousands of rules passed per year are actually authorized by Congress despite having the force of law.  The other 99% are unconstitutional.  That means DOGE and Trump are simply enacting the will of the Supreme Court, which the Rogue Biden Administration ignored.  So concretely how will this play out?  So DOGE will present Trump a list of regulations that overstep Congressional authority, meaning ones that involve major policy decisions without explicit Congressional authorization.  Trump can then instantly pause enforcement effectively nullifying the rule and then do a full review for formal rescission, getting rid of the rule, at which point if Congress really wants the rules, they are free to pass them in a law which they will not do for the same reason they never passed [it] in the first place.  So nullifying thousands of rules would Rocket Fuel the economy but it would also automatically render tens of thousands of bureaucrats redundant.  Trump being a good steward of the Treasury can then fire them, and given the federal workers earn six figures with gold-plated benefits twice the tax-paying plebs, that alone returns billions to taxpayers.  But that is just the beginning because the problem isn't the salaries; the problem is the regulations themselves and the control it gives.

So I've covered how regulations massively increase the cost of everything you buy.  To illustrate, Biden was proposing rules that would increase the cost of a washing machine by $200, a furnace by $500, an air conditioner by $1,000.  They've been piling this crap on for 40 years.  One study estimated regulations add $10,000 to the price of a car.  Gets worse.  A study by the National Association of Manufacturers estimated regulations add $30,000 to the cost of hiring a manufacturing worker.  They add $50,000 a year for small manufacturers.  So not only does that mean little guys cannot compete, it drives all of them to China.  All of that gone with the swipe of a pen.  

Historically waste and fraud efforts get bogged down in the details and end up cutting a few embarrassing programs and then they peter out.  This time looks very different.  Elon and Vivek have correctly identified the thermal exhaust ports of the Death Star and they are going in.

CATHERINE AUSTIN FITTS: "I wanna make it clear: Elon Musk is a defense contractor. Elon Musk is a defense contractor who's building the most significant surveillance satellite system ever created, for the military. Funded by our taxpayers."

"I wanna make it clear: Elon Musk is a defense contractor. Elon Musk is a defense contractor who's building the most significant surveillance satellite system ever created, for the military. Funded by our taxpayers." In this clip from a recent interview with Shannon Joy (@ShannonJoyRadio), investment banker, former HUD official, and founder of the Solari Report (@solari_the) Catherine Austin Fitts describes how Elon Musk is "a defense contractor who's building the most significant surveillance satellite system ever created, for the military." In the context of DOGE (@DOGE), the newly formed Department of Government Efficient—which isn't actually a federal department at all—Fitts notes that there is a danger with privatizing functions normally handled by civil servants due to issues like lack of transparency.

"I wanna make it clear: Elon Musk is a defense contractor," Fitts says. "Elon Musk is a defense contractor who's building the most significant surveillance satellite system ever created, for the military. Funded with our taxpayers. So he is a contractor." The former HUD official notes that during her time working for the George Bush administration, she "spent months warring with defense contractors to get the basic data [she] needed to move the [the single-family mortgage insurance fund] operation into compliance with the law." Fitts adds that she was ultimately fired "because they wanted to keep the data secret." Fitts goes on to say: "Essentially, the way you have been able to run the government such that you need $23 trillion of bailouts and $21 trillion of undocumentable adjustments, the way you've been able to do that is because you've been able to keep operations secret behind private corporations, private banks, and private defense contractors...and the more you outsource and allow them to run things secretly on a non-transparent, non-disclosed basis protected from FOIA, the worse it gets." Fitts goes on to ask a rhetorical question that highlights the pitfalls of privatizing government functions: "If you fire the government employees who do the bidding of Congress and the executive branch and you bring in private big tech contractors who finish consolidating the [financial] coup d'etat [consisting of tens of trillions of dollars stolen by the DOD, et al.] and are loyal to the central banks, what do you think is going to happen?"

--------------Partial transcription of clip---------------- "I wanna make it clear: Elon Musk is a defense contractor. Elon Musk is a defense contractor who's building the most significant surveillance satellite system ever created for the military. Funded with our taxpayers. So he is a contractor." "When I became Assistant Secretary of Housing, under the law, I was required to run the single-family mortgage insurance fund on a self-supporting basis. To figure out whether or not I was in compliance, I had to spend three months lobbying the White House to get the accounts moved over to report to me so I could even understand how much we were making or losing and whether or not I was in compliance. To get in compliance, it turned out we were losing $11 million dollars a day, which was technically, you know, not in compliance with the law. To figure out how to get in compliance, I needed data, except that data was controlled by a private defense contractor who refused to give it to me. "And I spent months warring with defense contractors to get the basic data I needed to move the operation into compliance with the law. And finally, I basically got fired because they wanted to keep the data secret. But essentially, the way you have been able to run, you know, the government such that you need $23 trillion of bailouts and $21 trillion of undocumentable adjustments, the way you've been able to do that is because you've been able to keep operations secret behind private corporations, private banks, and private defense contractors, okay? And the more you outsource and allow them to run things secretly on a non-transparent, non-disclosed basis protected from FOIA, the worse it gets. "So we have two people running government. We have private banks, corporations, and defense contractors. And we have government employees, civil service. Now the civil service, by and large, you know, and there's corruption and everything. So I don't wanna say they're perfect. But by and large, they do what they are given written orders to do. So Congress passes a law, and the executive branch implements that law, the presidential appointees, and they go tell the government employees do 1, 2, 3. And the government employees do 1, 2, 3. Okay. If they give it to a private contractor, maybe they do 1, 2, 3. Maybe they do something else, but they get a big markup on it. So, you know, there's a whole money game going on there. "If you want, if you want the government employees to do something different, you change the written orders. Right? You don't fire them for doing what they got written orders to do. You just change the written orders. It's pretty simple. Now let's say we don't like civil service. We're gonna fire all the civil service, and instead, we're gonna bring in big tech companies to run everything. Right? In 2012, when the new government came into Greece, they discovered they couldn't control their tax receipts because their tax receipts were collected by corporate contractors who were loyal to the central bank. Okay? So if you fire the government employees who do the bidding of Congress and the executive branch and you bring in private big tech contractors who finish consolidating the coup d'etat and are loyal to the central banks, what do you think is going to happen?"

DR. JANE RUBY: Your new DOGE Chief was making the mRNA biological weapon "vaccine" ALL ALONG

"Tesla teams up with CureVac to make RNA 'microfactories' for COVID-19 shot . . ."  O, so a bioweapons manufacturer.  

German vaccine maker CureVac has lost some shine in the race for a COVID-19 shot after other mRNA-based hopefuls have captured regulators' attention. Even so, CureVac has reportedly snared a big partner to help build its game-changing RNA "printers" that could turn global interest back in its favor.

Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, tweeted Thursday that the electric carmaker had signed on with CureVac to make portable molecular RNA printers--what Musk appeared to refer to as "RNA microfactories"--to help produce doses of the German vaccine maker's COVID-19 shot candidate.  

Musk said his company was working on the printers as a "side project" and could take on additional partners in the future.

KIM DOTCOM: Breaking: The crackdown against free speech escalates. Telegram founder Pavel Durov has been arrested in France. Western intelligence services want access to Telegram’s private messages. According to French media Durov may face 20 years in jail if he doesn’t cooperate

This feels like a cooperative psy-op.

THE SMART GRID: a technologically generated Electromagnetic Field that encompasses the earth. Created not with 5G towers, but with Satellites. Dispossessing souls one smart grid at a time

So Musk is behind micro-homes, eh?  

Everything about these billionaires is creepy.  

Check out the name of this micro-home developer, Boxabl.  CEO is Paolo Tiramani.  Boxabl, a $3 billion start-up [who gets $3 billion for start-up capital, and from whom?] from North Las Vegas, advertisement calls these homes, "Boxabl Casitas."  Ooh, how quaint.  Think of yourself as a migrant farm worker parked in some remote neck of the Rockies or Sonora Desert.  

No way in the world, you cynical capitalist, will these homes be turned into a 5G nightmare.  No way.  We promise.  To seduce, I mean entice customers, Boxabl has set up their warehouse, get this, like a Jurassic Park or a Disney ride.  Which one, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride?  Some folks are buying these @ $50,000 and using them as backyard granny units.  

Looks like the company was having communication and production problems.  Apparently, $3 billion in start-up capital doesn't buy you much. 

Insider's Daniel Geiger and Alex Nicoll found that Boxabl's factory has only produced 400 homes during its first year of operations. Some 8,000 customers have made down payments on Casitas, a 375-square-foot model that folds like a suitcase and costs about $60,000 apiece.

Of the $5.4 million Boxabl pocketed from those payments, over $1 million has been given back at customers' request, the company's cofounder, Galiano Tiramani, said. 

One Arizona-based prospective buyer, Max, told Insider that he put $2,400 down for two Boxabl homes in 2021.

"the fact that Musk is doing this now and here in the United States, you are going to hear the censorship industry howl all over this, 'He's destroying democracy.'"

00:40  He mentions his website, Foundation for Freedom Online.  His Twitter feed is here.

04:00  Twitter is by far and away the intelligence agency, the State Department, the Defense Department, and the NGO-plex, social media platform par excellence.  They much prefer the intel they can scrape from Twitter than from any other social media company.  And there's good reason for this, other than LinkedIn, I would say, and they would say.  And part of that is because Twitter is not a walled garden like Facebook.  Facebook is also a social media platform, obviously, but most private accounts you can only access if you are friends with that person or friends of a friend.  Twitter did not have that.  And YouTube there's a giant divide between producers and consumers.  Consumers on YouTube are not content creators.  That's not the case on Twitter.  Every Twitter user is a content creator when they click the retweet button.  And so you can map real-time narrative emergence on Twitter in a way that you can't do on any other social media platform.  And that has been used by the CIA, the State Department, the Defense Department, hundreds of censorship, government-funded NGOs, centers, non-profit foundations, "university research centers," and the works.  In order to build their social media censorship Death Star, they need to be able to scrape hundreds of millions of tweets.  And what Musk is doing here is very interesting, because on the one hand, you could argue it's a sort of, kind of form of, I wouldn't say censorship necessarily, because it's not like a particular person is singled out, but you are limiting the openness of the internet by doing this.  But on the other hand, you are actually, potentially preserving the openness of the internet by preventing the construction of this censorship Death Star that is getting more and more refined every day and is getting funded by your tax dollars to the tune of tens of millions of dollars from DARPA and the National Science Foundation to say nothing about the State Department and USAID, and National Endowment for Democracy grants.  so it's all very interesting.  That's just one thing to keep in mind on top of the fact that this is obviously going to be a revenue generator for Musk as he sees it.  He drew a distinction between verified accounts and unverified accounts, where you can sort of have normal Twitter if you have a verified account because that 8,000 rate limit is pretty substantial.  But 800 is not a lot, so it's highly incentivized for people to get Verified Accounts, so obviously this could . . . I'm not sure that Elon Musk is doing this to throttle the AI Censorship Death Star constructed out of the censorship industry.  He may just be doing this for cynical business reasons in order to pump up the subscription base, or a privacy reason independent of censorship.  But whether he knows it or not, there are going to be hundreds of censorship operatives housed in the University research centers this week, howling at the moon that this is an attack on democracy for Musk to limit their access because it has been for years now a big bugaboo for all of the university censorship operatives who cloak themselves as "researchers" when what they are is operatives.  That if they lose access to the underlying data on which their AI censorship models are built, then they will not be able to do their jobs as effective as fast, precise, and comprehensive as social media censors.  So they've been having a big fight about this exact issue in Europe because of Europe's GDPR laws, their data privacy laws, and other sovereign European state restrictions on 3rd party access to social media user-level data.  And so they tried to get around that by having certain journalists and researchers they've sort of designated "privileged class" to get so that only they can be sort of the trusted keepers of this information that used to be public but now is not.  So the fact that Musk is doing this now and here in the United States, you are going to hear the censorship industry howl all over this.  Whether Musk knows this or not, he has stepped on a rattlesnake.  We'll see how it plays out, but I am very curious to see how this rattlesnake reacts to this new boot.  And in a weird way, even though the boot may be cutting off some amount of openness of Twitter, it may also represent, in some way, the boot of freedom. 8:52

Bringing the national security state to heel means breaking up big tech . . . Big tech & the National Security state are the same entity focused on suppressing freedom

The whole Twitter disclosure makes me feel like some Ruskie in a Soviet outpost emerging from totalitarianism after decades of benighted stupor. 

I am amazed that this topic gets any traction anywhere.  Elon may not be your favorite person, but he certainly is shining a very bright light on the communist revolution that was operating at Twitter for as long as it had. 

And it makes me think that once the whole Russia interference hoax succeeded and lingered in the minds of the public after the 2016 elections, a successful hoax followed by a series of existential political attacks against Trump, not the least of being impeachment, the national security state saw their opportunity for an even more deadly and thorough assault on Trump and a clampdown on his populist, or peoples', movement.  They had motive, means, and opportunity.  That opportunity was the great reset.  They invented the motive: COVID-19.  And they've always had the means: propaganda.  Americans' ignorance of the history of vaccines, a history dominated by the positive PR from Jonas Salk, allowed the cultish preservation to rule in our daily lives.

Is the United States Coming Undone?

We will be publishing next year a special report on . . . how [the United States] will separate as was the case for every civilization historically. Like the Roman Empire, the United States will separate into three regions [and] to the surprise of many, this will also include Canada

Thank you to Martin Armstrong @ Armstrong Economics.

It is becoming clear[er] day by day why the mainstream media has been so against Elon Musk buying Twitter, for as they say in law enforcement, there is a “Blue Code” where cops do not rat on cops.  The same is true about judges.  Mainstream media is so LEFT it has forgotten how to walk a straight line.  They are no longer the free press – they are propaganda organizations for the takeover of our country, and in the process, they will cause civil war and the collapse of Western culture. The Biden Administration clearly violated the law by telling Twitter to delete photos of Hunter smoking crack cocaine which anyone else would be in prison.

The chaos and confusion behind closed doors at Twitter in the immediate aftermath of the October 2020 surface of Hunter Biden’s Laptop from Hell has exposed that the very top-level execs at Twitter decided to label the New York Post’s story as “hacked material” without any evidence — behind the back of then-CEO and founder Jack Dorsey. Historically, those on the LEFT have always done whatever it takes to win for their very basic philosophy is to dominate society and to shut down all resistance.  [You can't imagine how far they will go to destroy anybody who resists.]

The New York Times called on President Biden to create a “Reality Czar” to shut down all dissent, which they immediately label conspiracy theories without any real investigation.  CNN has called on cable companies to drop Fox News as if everything CNN says is the gospel. We are living in a world where mainstream media has become the enemy of the people pushing a political agenda no different than the New York Times during the 1930s was urging Roosevelt to adopt communism.

New York Times cheered Stalin and constantly reported that this was the way to the future – Stalinism. They seem to be preaching that again with a “Reality Czar” right out of Stalin’s handbook. They are supporting once again this move to a Marxist Utopia. The New York Times hid the truth about Stalin because they were in favor of Communism during the Great Depression. Stalin’s great economic miracle was achieved by taking all the food from Ukraine to pretend Communism was working in Russia causing over 7 million to starve to death. Today, they are cheering World War III to destroy Russia once more in hopes of adopting this Great Reset and imposing upon the world their cancel culture with a one-world government headed by the United Nations.

I strongly recommend you watch the movie, Mr. Jones. This exposes the TRUE STORY of how the New York Times tried to support Communism in the United States back then, with their top journalist, Walter Duranty (1884-1957), who was their main man in Moscow. The New York Times promoted him to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for reporting on how Communism was Utopia and our future. When Gareth Jones (1905-1935) in March 1933 reported this was all a lie, the truth finally began to appear.

It took the New York Times until 1990 to admit that their reporting covered up the truth about Stalin and the massive starvation in an effort, like Schwab, once again, to sell “equality” as our salvation. The New York Times covered up the more than 7 million people who died of starvation in the Ukraine famine. The New York Times wrote that their reporting on the Russian Revolution constituted “some of the worst reporting to appear in this newspaper.” They never revoked his Pultizer Prize for writing fake news about Stalin.

Homeland Security and the FBI both said that Russia’s hack of the DNC did not involve altering the vote. In fact, it was his own paper that reported on November 25, 2016, “The Obama administration said on Friday that despite Russian attempts to undermine the presidential election, it has concluded that the results “accurately reflect the will of the American people.” So, were four years of stating the Russians put Trump in the White House, not misinformation?

The constant lies the press has spun about Russia invading the US elections in 2016 and manipulations seem intent upon creating war, exactly as took place with the Spanish American War. We have returned to yellow journalism, which is based on sensationalism and crude exaggeration. Pulitzer and Hearst went head to head. I remember grade school history class blaming the Spanish American War on fake news. There is one such story that male Spanish officials were strip-searching American woman tourists in Cuba looking for claimed messages from rebels. This was the front page of Hearst’s newspaper showing what has become known as “yellow journalism” whereby the illustration was by Frederic Remington and published in the New York Journal, on February 12th, 1897.

Hearst’s New York Journal was called out for this fake news by its rival Joseph Pulitzer’s, New York World, reporting that this story was erroneous and its graphically illustrated strip-search of a woman aboard a U.S. passenger steamer was fake. The Journal article was written by Richard Harding Davis, who reported that Spanish authorities boarded the U.S. steamer, the Olivette, as it prepared to leave Havana and searched several passengers for contraband. Among the passengers was a young Cuban woman named Clemencia Arango, whose brother was a leader in the insurgency against Spanish rule. The Journal’s article was ambiguous, implying the woman was strip-searched by men, which was created by the accompanying illustration of Frederic Remington.

The New York World attacked the Journal’s fake news, quoting Arango as denying that men had strip-searched her. That task, she said, had fallen to a matron, or “inspectress.” The Journalist Davis, in a letter to the World, then blamed Frederic Remington for having drawn “an imaginary picture” and insisted his dispatch had not reported that men had conducted the search.

Nevertheless, this story of the strip search discredited the Journal as being unreliable and prone to publishing “fakes” and other thinly documented reports. Welcome to the present where the New York Times and Washington Post seem to be carrying on in the same unreliable manner as well as ABC, CBS, NBC, and of course – CNN.

We will be publishing next year a special report on what the computer is projecting for the Decline and Fall of the United States and how it will separate as was the case for every civilization historically. Like the Roman Empire, the United States will separate into three regions. However, to the surprise of many, this will also include Canada. We will let everyone know when this report is ready.

ELON MUSK: PRESAGED CDC DIRECTOR WOLENSKY

If you'd like to see the transcript of this interview released back on May 7, 2020, find it here at the 1:27:29 mark.  But anybody who's anybody who has tracked anything about COVID knows that the hospitals have been diagnosing everybody with COVID in 2020 because Medicare paid out on it.  And further, if you read the transcript, you'll also see what Elon Musk got wrong.  

In fact, the first person that I'd heard tell on this was Dr. Scott Jensen who explained this back on April 10, 2020. 

In fact, back then I wrote, 

His name is Dr. Scott Jensen, a former Minnesota state senator.  Medicare has determined that if you have a COVID-19 diagnosis, the hospital where that diagnosis is made gets $19,000 from Medicare.  If a patient is put on a ventilator, that hospital receives $39,000.  A nurse friend of mine said that one of the reasons that the hospitals have closed up their COVID wards is that they need to make money.  The money isn't in COVID for most of these; it's in elective surgeries.  

Jensen said, "Hospital administrators might well want to see COVID-19 attached to a discharge summary or a death certificate. Why? Because if it's a straightforward, garden-variety pneumonia that a person is admitted to the hospital for – if they're Medicare – typically, the diagnosis-related group lump sum payment would be $5,000. But if it's COVID-19 pneumonia, then it's $13,000, and if that COVID-19 pneumonia patient ends up on a ventilator, it goes up to $39,000."

This interview by Laura Ingraham of Alex Berenson and Phil Kerpen goes into even greater detail, where I explained that 

The [following] video comes from Dale Steinreich over at Lew Rockwell.  The guests are Alex Berenson and Phil Kerpen.  DRGs are mentioned.  DRG stands for Diagnosis-Related Group Payment System.  

Sorry that it's not Elon Musk.
