Russian Interference: Recruiting Donald Trump – the Early Years

IT IS A COUP
This is what should be on every front page in 150 point banner headlines. All I have is this Substack but I lay it beneath your feet and pray to a higher power that I'm wrong.
This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.
It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.

What tech watchers understand is that Musk is doing what Musk does. He's broken the law time after time again. He acts with impunity. This is the underlying model of Silicon Valley. Musk is simply applying this to the federal government. He expects to get away with it. Because he always has.

This is a digital coup. A data coup.
What Musk's boy-man cyber troops have done - because that's what they are, mercenaries - is take control of the federal government's operating systems. They've downloaded or scraped vast quantities of data. It's a hack on an unprecedented scale.

Not true

Time Magazine cover, headlined, "When the Music Died: John Lennon."
Image of John Lennon.
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do;
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too.
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace.
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one.
John Lennon, 10/9/40-12/8/80
