Elon Musk and his DOGE operation are doing great work, as they tip over the big rock that's been hiding the deep state and throw light on all the little scurrying cockroaches that make up USAID and its NGO dependents.
I particularly got a kick out of this schematic which reveals the many channels within the USAID network that move gravy to Bill Kristol's money-laundering outfit.
48 vCPUs are throttled curating the USAID grant network for every single EIN, will take a while (~12 hours). Which is fine, it gives @watilo time to prettify it in the morning.

Blame the federal government for creating such computational complexity.
But here's a teaser - this… pic.twitter.com/a8v2ERxxXC
The thing looks like a representation of an especially complex polymer molecule. But then, that's the point; the dubious recipients of taxpayer largesse don't want transparency.
Oh, and this is interesting: "Purge begins as DOGE enters FBI to obtain names of 5,000 agents who worked January 6 cases and face firing".
Five thousand?!? How many people were actually charged; around 1,600, wasn't it? No wonder the FBI was having trouble keeping up with the real criminals who were supposedly "on their radar".
looks like they're setting up for huge RIFs
ReplyDeleteLooks that way. I can't wait until these guys start looking at DOD!
DeleteYeah, 5000. I've read that's 13% of the FBI's workforce, agents and staff combined.
ReplyDeleteTHIRTEEN. PER. CENT.
For 4 years.
The least those clowns should expect is a RIF. The LEAST.
My understanding is that DOJ wants to (initially, anyway) compare the J6 persecutions (not a typo) to other large scale investigations by the FBI, to objectively analyze just how far off the rails Garland and Wray went off the rails.
As for DoD ... ... the upper echelons need a good enema. Or purge, if you prefer. And not just the flag officers, but all the deadwood in the offices and agencies. RIFs are in order.
So.... Elon Musk is the condottierre?
ReplyDeleteI was looking at Trump's EOs.
It's funny, unlike most pols doing that, the name reflects what it actually does.
He didn't have an EO called "Saving Puppies!" that actually funded Hamas, as you know our fine betters are wont to do.
Not so much a mercenary, as he's a patriot, and serving for free (as far as I know). More like a minuteman.
DeleteAnd, yeah, Trump's EOs are blunt. I like that.
