Oh, so now we're outsourcing treason? How efficient.
Let me get this straight. Elon Musk’s DOGE, a government efficiency program so Orwellian it practically sweats KGB cologne, allegedly gift-wrapped credentialed access to U.S. government systems, and within minutes, Russian IPs show up at the backdoor with the username, password, and the audacity to try the knob?
This isn’t cybersecurity malpractice; it’s state-enabled sabotage. And before you clutch your pearls, this isn’t some tinfoil fever dream. This is a federal whistleblower, forensic logs, DNS tunneling, and a nice little trail of breadcrumbs leading straight to Moscow’s dinner plate.
Let’s connect the digital dots: Musk, who has flirted with Putin like a Bond villain shopping for nukes, is now running DOGE, our government’s central nervous system, and someone in Russia just got a demo login?
We're not watching a breach. We’re watching a bloodless coup. And unlike the January 6th cosplay insurrection, this one has root access.
This is how democracy dies in the 21st century: not with a bang but with an API call.
I totally agree. There could be no other reason to remain silent and complicit unless you are part of the coup or benefit from it. I'll go further and say, why aren't the Democrats also calling this out? Right now, we need all hands on deck, and if Rs know about this, so do Ds.
Exactly. I firmly believe that if we were to ever have a proper investigation, we would find that Trump enlisted Musk and Putin to help him "win" the election. He knew he had almost no real chance of winning legit, and he knew that if he lost he was heading to jail for what would likely be the rest of his life.
I believe he told them that if they can ensure he wins, by rigging the election, then they could both have whatever they want afterwards. This explains how he somehow "won" THIS election and the popular vote despite losing in both 2016 and 2020. It also explains how he somehow "won" every single swing state too, which is just absolute bullshit.
It also explains why Musk has been handed more power than even Trump himself, and why the orange sociopath was willing to hand it over without a fight.
We are in an unbelievably bad place in this country, and if we don't soon put an end to this criminal regime that's masquerading as a Presidential administration, I think we'll see the last pillar fall within the next 2 to 3 months. If not sooner...
I completely agree with you, raising alarm bells since November. RambleOnRose, right here on Substack has an excellent plan to follow - right now with no delay or we are done.
Absolutely agree. There was no way in hell trump was going to entrust his fate of going to jail to the American people. He was awaiting conviction, and he knew the outcome.
I genuinely believe Judge Merchan was initially going to send trump to jail, but chose not to because trump was a defendant who was a candidate. He didn't want to be responsible for trump losing the election (considering he didn't know that trump and elon had already rigged it) and possibly having to deal with more threats and violent acts from maga nutjobs.
He ultimately gave him an unconditional discharge to avoid any blowback or disruption and disregard any form of justice.
Remember, trump was originally supposed to be sentenced July 11th, but his lawyers pushed Merchan to reconsider the verdict because SCOTUS had ruled that presidents are immune from prosecution for their "official" acts.
Then he postponed sentencing again to avoid any appearance of “giving advantage to, or to create a disadvantage for” trump.
In doing so, he inadvertently (or perhaps on purpose) granted an advantage for trump and a disadvantage for the voters and VP Harris, again, not knowing he and elon had already rigged the election.
Sound familiar? Yes, I'm talking about Garland who screwed this up from the start.
The failure of our justice system appears to be a recurring issue when it comes to trump. Both delays ultimately benefited him and influenced an election that was already being manipulated, if that makes sense.
So, there was no way trump was going to let the American people decide his fate, whether Merchan helped the situation or not ... and clearly, he did not help.
We need to sue Elon’s ass off. That money needs to be held in a special account for us when all our accounts suddenly disappear all at once. He has all our account information, passwords, social security numbers, addresses, emails, phone numbers. Now we know what he was doing all along. Elon needs to be held in jail until we figure this out.
WTAF? there needs to be immediate congressional hearings. The Wynnn-Williams testimony about Zuck giving American info to China was bad enough. What is the endgame here? It’s not looking good.
Remember that one of the charges in 1 of the court cases against Trump that never went to trial thanks to a corrupt trial judge, corrupt justices of the US Supreme Court, & slow-walking by the corrupt head of the DOJ, was for espionage. In another case against Trump that also never went to trial for the same reasons, 1 of the charges for sedition. These were airtight cases against Trump, with more severe ramifications than the one for which he was convicted of 34 counts of felony. Had justice been carried out, Trump would be secured in a prison right now, instead of destroying everything good about America.
IK, with the Congress we have now, I worry nothing will ever get done to hold this felon accountable. I don't know how we stop this if Congress doesn't view what's happening to this country in the same vein as most Americans. If they are benefitting from trump and elon's actions, how much will they really do to fix this?
Not to mention, our justice system is severely compromised.
We are in a scary place right now ... but I remain hopeful we will somehow get through this.
Well I’m a soldier so I’m not really thinking about going full out russian, hell these have been the horror stories we were told as children around the fire, I’m fighting, I don’t know about everybody else, they’ve never been American soldier’s friends, at least when I was active duty. Last I checked that hasn’t changed
Is anyone really surprised? Jesus. Our president has been handing intelligence to Putin since his first administration. Trump is the biggest traitor our country has ever seen. The thought of what Putin could do with access to our most sensitive system should give all of us nightmares. Treason. Treason. Treason!!!!!!
What do you expect from teenagers and 20 something kids. Impatient, not thorough and they think they Know everything. It’s a hot mess because of them and Elon with a child’s mind. He thinks just like them. He never grew up. 🔝
Well Rachel Maddow reported and so do Jake Tapper but nothing after that. I think to some extent media is overwhelmed. But I am really annoyed at Mark Warner. Why has he not been shouting from the rooftops or digging into this? I don’t get it. There is a movement towards replacing democrats that aren’t doing enough. He should be on that list.
Treason anyone? Or are we russian now?
Both.
Never Russian!

Agreed! I am sure this is how Elon and Trump are connected. But how are all the republicans going along with this? Are they all Russian agents too?
Many are!
There was that big confab in Russia on the 4th of July attended by many RepubliCON congressmen and women. What was discussed there?
I totally agree. There could be no other reason to remain silent and complicit unless you are part of the coup or benefit from it. I'll go further and say, why aren't the Democrats also calling this out? Right now, we need all hands on deck, and if Rs know about this, so do Ds.
That is precisely what musk did. And it was the plan from jump! Trump is musk's bitch. And the entire GOP are Trump's bitch!

Which Congress?
The shadow one maybe!?
I can think of a few scenarios how this might end , non of them good. I fear it’s gone way to far.
So DOGE & Musk are dabbling in Espionage???..isn't this under the guise of committing Treason?
Remember that one of the charges in 1 of the court cases against Trump that never went to trial thanks to a corrupt trial judge, corrupt justices of the US Supreme Court, & slow-walking by the corrupt head of the DOJ, was for espionage.

Very true.
Holy cow… 😱I am literally speechless. Literally. This is treason, intended or unintended, at the highest possible levels. 😱
This is treason and the information shared could cripple our country. CONGRESS, GET ON THIS!
IK, with the Congress we have now, I worry nothing will ever get done to hold this felon accountable. I don't know how we stop this if Congress doesn't view what's happening to this country in the same vein as most Americans.

Oh, more than just cripple, I fear. This is something from Sci-fi that you would not believe could ever happen.
Thank you for your courage Daniel Berulis
Thanks Zev, great piece. It's going to get a lot worse before we can reverse what this administration has done in 3 months.
Great reporting.
Well I’m a soldier so I’m not really thinking about going full out russian, hell these have been the horror stories we were told as children around the fire, I’m fighting, I don’t know about everybody else, they’ve never been American soldier’s friends, at least when I was active duty.

God level my ass, it’s just Musk level. Termination is called for, all of them across and up-and-down the board. In the old fashioned way.
Is anyone really surprised? Jesus. Our president has been handing intelligence to Putin since his first administration. Trump is the biggest traitor our country has ever seen. The thought of what Putin could do with access to our most sensitive system should give all of us nightmares. Treason. Treason. Treason!!!!!!
It's worse than you think. I'm completely gobsmacked.
What do you expect from teenagers and 20 something kids. Impatient, not thorough and they think they Know everything. It’s a hot mess because of them and Elon with a child’s mind. He thinks just like them. He never grew up. 🔝
ARREST MUSK FOR ESPIONAGE TODAY!!!
Either way, we're broke.
I just can’t believe after this news came out that there is so little news being reported on it
Believe it. Mainstream media is in their pockets. They only report what they are told to cover and how to cover it.
Well Rachel Maddow reported and so do Jake Tapper but nothing after that. I think to some extent media is overwhelmed. But I am really annoyed at Mark Warner. Why has he not been shouting from the rooftops or digging into this? I don’t get it. There is a movement towards replacing democrats that aren’t doing enough. He should be on that list.
