Robotic posting of the latest meme
"A little Learning is a dang'rous Thing ..."
Have you ever noticed that people who spent decades mastering their field of choice think nothing of pontificating on politics and economics based on the pablum of their very limited choice of go-to media?
A little Learning is a dang'rous Thing
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Spring:
There shallow Draughts intoxicate the Brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again. … —Alexander Pope
Perusing social media in the wake of Trump blaming Ukraine for NATO’s war on Russia followed by his aggressive put-down of Zelensky, NATO’s puppet who enabled the murder of over 500,000 of his countrymen (probably a low estimate), we are deluged with blue-party dittoheads’ mindless repostings in support of the puppet Zelensky.
Here is the perfect description of such psychobabble: "I stand with the latest thing." It shows how easily those whose narrow media choices representing blue or red half-baked analysis are led by the nose via memes promulgated by the intelligence services for the banking cartel and its corporate pyramid.
As we explained in our previous post, Apoplexy over Trump's Ukraine stance—The US invents an excuse to justify ending the war it started, Trump is attempting to shift the blame for NATO’s war against Russia to Ukraine in order to claim that the US did not start or lose this war, and that it is time to stop wasting billions of dollars—much of which was skimmed off by Zelensky and his buddies (and here), as well as by various blue-party operatives:
As we explained a ways back, the banking cartel, via the intelligence agencies that serve it, has cleverly jumbled up the traditional positions of the blue and red parties so that each now contain a mix of deleterious and beneficial positions that are designed to attract support from non-traditional subscribers who are willing to overlook the harmful positions in order to vote for their particular interests.
An example would be Trump’s appointment of RFK Jr. who will do away with the AMA’s and Big Pharma’s mandates for poisonous injections while at the same time Trump is eliminating diversity mandates and supporting various racist agendas. On the other hand, Biden supported the US/NATO war on Russia while backing diversity initiatives. Heads they win, tails we lose:

Meanwhile, Trump’s and Musk’s indiscriminate cutting of government programs continues, while refusing to cut the most bloated budget, that of the US military.
$60 billion in waste and fraud easily found where Trump refuses to cut
A trio of government watchdogs on Friday advised U.S. President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser, Elon Musk, to take a "road map for achieving efficiency" at the only federal agency that has failed seven consecutive audits of its spending, and the one that spends by far the most in taxpayer money: the Department of Defense.
Trump actions aim to destroy food production
Politico reported Friday that the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE — which Musk unofficially leads — has made steep cuts to the Bureau of Reclamation (USBR), which manages waterways and dams in 17 states. Those cuts have resulted in the USBR's California office having to lay off employees who were tasked with carrying out Trump's plan to unleash the Golden State's water reserves.
During his first month in office, Trump issued two executive orders pertaining to California's water supply. One controversial order directed federal officials to tap into reservoirs to redirect water to help fight wildfires in Southern California, which was water that farmers in the San Joaquin Valley were counting on to keep their crops healthy during dry summer months. He also directed DOGE representatives to fire probationary-level employees, which amount to roughly 10% of the USBR's California workforce.
Federal Judge Blocks Trump Funding Freeze
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday blocking the Trump administration from implementing the type of sweeping freeze on grant and loan programs proposed in a memo the Office of Management and Budget released in late January.
Musk is now begging air traffic controllers to come back to work
In a post on X on Thursday, Musk tried to unretire air traffic controllers via tweet, as if he and Trump didn’t gut the department as part of DOGE’s chaotic and unwieldy firings.
Musk’s DOGE cuts federal government firefighters' credit card limit to $1
One of the most significant budget cuts DOGE has ordered is setting the limit for BLM firefighters' credit cards and travel credit cards to just $1, making it impossible for them to buy supplies or travel to wildfire sites. Additionally, the Trump administration froze the disbursement of approximately $3 billion in wildfire mitigation-related funds. This includes things like clearing dead branches and undergrowth that can help wildfires spread quickly if not removed ahead of time.
While Trump and Musk claim they are fighting corruption, their purge does not apply to their own lawbreaking, for example Trump dropping all charges against Musk’s companies, or this:
Of course Trump drops prosecution of crypto bro who gave him millions
Just a few months after investing $30 million in a company owned by President Donald Trump and his two eldest sons, cryptocurrency bro Justin Sun was rewarded with a decision by the Securities and Exchange Commission to drop its fraud case against him.
‘King Musk’ slammed for $2.4 billion sweetheart deal from Trump
According to a report from The Washington Post, the Federal Aviation Administration is planning to dump a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon for a communications system key to the national air traffic control system in exchange for a contract with Starlink, which is owned by Elon Musk.

As we have noted on a number of occasions, temperature data has been manipulated and weather-as-a-weapon has been implemented to make it seem as if global warming is worse than it actually is; nevertheless, accurate data is needed for a variety of reasons. If Trump does not replace the database (see below) with a more accurate one, then this is just a cover-up for more anomalistic, manufactured weather events.
Purging Scientific Datasets to Fight “Wokeness” and “Waste”
In early February, molecular astrophysicist Clara Sousa-Silva discovered something alarming: crucial scientific data she needed for her research had vanished from federal government servers. As a scientist who studies the atmospheres of other planets and moons using ground-based telescopes, Sousa-Silva relies on climate monitoring data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to filter out Earth’s atmospheric effects from her observations. What began as a personal research obstacle quickly revealed a much larger crisis affecting scientists across disciplines.
This data disappearance coincides with the aggressive implementation of two intertwined initiatives from the Trump administration: the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, and President Donald Trump’s campaign to purge the federal government of anything “woke,” including efforts to combat climate change. DOGE has put a target on NOAA’s back, along with other agencies that gather and manage crucial scientific data like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Meanwhile, Trump’s executive orders have dismantled numerous climate initiatives, lumping them in with his increasingly nebulous and sprawling definition of wokeness.
