Turning Grandma Into Rocket Fuel

The richest man’s messianic narcissism has gone full Stalin

In a headline almost too bizarre to grasp, it’s being reported that the Social Security Administration is destroying its network of regional service centers and limiting its public communications to the Nazi-infested website formerly known as Twitter.

No, really. [Archive, no paywall]

As a man of a certain age who has paid a lot of money into Social Security over the years, when the time comes, I would like the option of not seeing Libs of TikTok in order to find out where my goddamn check is.

The regional office workforce will soon be cut by roughly 87 percent, sources tell WIRED. Regional office staff manage IT support, policy questions, labor relations issues, reasonable accommodations guidance, and public relations. Since February, the SSA has cut 7,000 jobs, according to the Washington Post.

Today, the agency has 547 employees working in the nearly dozen regional offices (previously, the number was closer to 700, but many people have retired, a current employee with knowledge of the staffing numbers says). After the cuts, the number is expected to be closer to 70. “We know that you all depend on these folks to manage your front line, to help with questions,” said Kerr-Davis, who works in the Kansas City regional office. “I'm going to be pretty candid here in sharing that the support will be pretty minimal until we can stand up our skinny regional office.”

Kerr-Davis acknowledged the restructuring could limit the agency’s ability to combat fraud, a major goal of Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency. “Won't losing subject matter experts lead directly to fraud, waste and abuse?” she asked on the call, reading a question from an SSA staffer. “And yes, I mean, we do rely on [their] help…Things are going to break, and they're going to break fast.”

This will kill people, and give Elon Musk the ability to choose, if he doesn’t already, who can stay in America, and who will live and die if they’re allowed to be here at all. That’s the clear goal — full control. This is the Dark Tetrad in full bloom.

Musk thinks he‘s closing the trap on lots of people that don’t deserve to live anyway, or don’t deserve to live in what he wants be a white America. He resents “paying” for old people, disabled people, poor, Black and brown people — because he truly believes he is better than they are.

As I have thoroughly chronicled over hundreds of posts, Elon Musk is a deeply disturbed man whose vision for himself is so thoroughly engrained and has been so intensely reinforced by his environment that he actually thinks he’s destined to be the dictator of North America — and Mars — and that he is therefore justified in doing things that will kill undesirables in the name of being “efficient.”

The world’s richest man is literally trading lives to accelerate his completely insane Mars fantasy. It’s Soylent Green, except with rockets.

“The rocket fuel is people.”

The regime is also eviscerating weather and climate research which, in light of the fact that Trump voters will be disproportionately affected by this, truly shows that this is no longer even pretending to be about policy or politics. This is a death cult cheering its own destruction.

Along with RFK Jr.’s all out assault on vaccines and sanity, these moves seem to be accelerating in sheer intensity. As a final example, the White House just posted this:

This is just banana republic theater now. A clear sign that the regime is leaning in to its own self-identification as a strongman-led dictatorship.

The more of these transgressive acts are made in advance of Hitler’s birthday, 4/20, the more concerned I become that they plan to use that date or just thereafter for a coup de grace on democracy. If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act and puts America under martial law, no one will remember that Grandma doesn’t know how to log into to “X” to get her check.

It is truly time to start thinking outside of the box now.
