ParticipantMEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
February 18, 2025
SUBJECT: Radical Transparency About Wasteful SpendingThe United States Government spends too much money on programs, contracts, and grants that do not promote the interests of the American people. For too long, taxpayers have subsidized ideological projects overseas and domestic organizations engaged in actions that undermine the national interest. The American people have seen their tax dollars used to fund the passion projects of unelected bureaucrats rather than to advance the national interest. The American people have a right to see how the Federal Government has wasted their hard-earned wages.
I therefore direct the heads of executive departments and agencies (agencies) to take all appropriate actions to make public, to the maximum extent permitted by law and as the heads of agencies deem appropriate to promote the policies of my Administration, the complete details of every terminated program, cancelled contract, terminated grant, or any other discontinued obligation of Federal funds. Agencies shall ensure that such publication occurs in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the underlying contract, grant, or other award.

ParticipantLike a magician, pulling a rabbit out of a hat. Instant solutions to problems they created. Don’t you wonder why? By deception, they rule. If you think the jews are guiding you sheep to greener grass, you’re delusional. Drink the Cool Aid goyim.

ParticipantApologies for some of my misguided vitriol these past years, like a mistreated creature, a beaten dog…lashing out not knowing whom to trust, if anyone…shocked into a state of mistrust and defensive machinations.
The healing process continues…like music, sometimes there are no words, or less is more.
..
Nice coverage on Ukraine, Zelensky and the peace talks in SA… Alexander makes some interesting points re Trump bluffing Zelensky.
I do hope, and in many ways wonder if Trump is not doing the same with regards to “buying Gaza…”
Time will tell, if this is a potemkin village bluff directed at Israel. Either way the question arises that since every US President has been beholden to Israel, never changing policy of more money, support and weapons to Israel…That it may actually, realistically, fall on the Jews of all pedigrees – “real jews, zionist jews, ashkenazi, Israelis citizens, dual citizens”…that the onus is on them- to sort out their criminal Govt, end the killing and stealing spree, and live in Peace with all their neighbors. One can only dream…
If the US empire can change course…Israel can and should change course. The will of the people.
But like an addict, sometimes they must hit rock bottom before seeing and finding the light.…
The Otter and the Rock… that was awesome, beautiful, and full of simple Love.
We’ll all be alright someday. maybe just sharing a simple gesture can open Hearts to a better way and a better World for all.

ParticipantNo, we should not be automatically pausing the social security benefits of those listed as age 100-119. Instead, they should be individually investigated. Do you have any idea how disruptive (not to mention bad press) it would be to a 100+ year old person to have that check ripped away? Such people don’t usually drive and have often never operated a smartphone, likely not a computer. Heck, their living children may not drive nor use a smartphone nor the internet. A woman at a care home that I perform at recently turned 100. Please, please — in our zeal to protect taxpayers we must not throw away these people just because there may be fraud. Assign case managers. Find out if they live. Show some respect.

Trump says Ukraine ‘should have never started it’ in comments about war with Russia
Trump made the remark while deriding Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, whose country was invaded by Russia in February 2022.President Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that Ukraine was responsible for Russia’s invasion of the country three years ago, arguing Kyiv could have made a deal to avoid the conflict.

Participant@Phoenixvoice: Yes. I have been having the same thought. Some of those are data-entry errors from a long time ago, but not so many millions of them.
There should be other data-search methods to confirm most of the living humans, if several kinds of passes are made, to help avoid harm.
That will limit the number of humans who have to do gumshoe work.
It seems that there are 130% of the number of people in this country signed up in Social Security.February 19, 2025 at 2:32 am #182556those darned kids

ParticipantPhoenix: Obviously. I haven’t seen it yet, so it remains to be seen, but so far as I know, this phase is merely to IDENTIFY things and they have no Write access. Some of these things have been referred to Igs to follow up on. That was published. As the news is fully fact-free, it’s very hard to tell, but that would be the absolute, normal, boring process. The people over 140yo though? Well, Elon has no power, so if Trump summarily halts, that’s on him. …No one is talking about how, if those are true, there’s going to be an astonishing number in the 70-100 cohort. …Precisely because it’s so impossible to tell without asking.
What else? Gee, if your father’s been dead for 20 years I’m afraid you’re going to need to pay all that back. Somehow. Guess that budget can balance after all.
Musk: Yes, he’s a Nazi but also pro Israel. You’re not the only person to say this and have no sparks go off. Nor the first time: I’ve been saying this since 2015 with Trump’s Jewish family. He’s also so Pro-Israel he’s cutting of billions of their money per day.
Gulf War: Yes, Gulf of America is an ideological purity test. He wants to test who’s surrendered. I think it’s entirely stupid, but how do you like it now? Like it when it’s done to you, or would you like to stop now?
Poppie: My thought exactly, but Aspnaz may also be on rotation for the IDF again.
