When DOGE found empty fields in Treasury's payment system, they uncovered more than missing data. They found a mechanism.

https://x.com/EkoLovesYou/status/1889019263060689299

Simple things were left blank:
Payment categories
Payment rationales
Basic audit controls

The kind of fields any small business would require. The kind that let you track where money goes. The kind that stop a billion dollars of fraud. Every week.

Here's what Treasury didn't want exposed:
Over $100 billion flowing annually to accounts without Social Security numbers. No temporary ID numbers. No verification. Nothing. When Musk asked Treasury officials how much was "unequivocal and obvious fraud," the answer revealed decades of corruption: Half.

Let that sink in.
$50 billion per year.
A billion dollars every week disappearing into accounts that shouldn't exist.

The kind of fraud that would shut down any bank in America. The kind that would land any business owner in federal prison.
But Treasury had perfected its system:
Process payments
Ignore controls
Keep the machine running

The system's response was swift.
Coordinated.
Precise.

Nineteen Democratic state attorneys general filed suit. Not about the fraud. Not about the waste. Not about billions vanishing into accounts without SSNs. But about "protecting" the Treasury Department from its own Secretary.

A judge in New York responded with something unprecedented: an ex parte order blocking Treasury officials from accessing their own department's data. No warning. No chance to respond. No opportunity to present evidence. Just a wall between the people elected to fix the system and the system itself.

Think about what that means: The Secretary of the Treasury—effectively the CFO of the United States government—legally barred from seeing how money moves through his own department. The people's appointee blocked from viewing the people's accounts. Young coders mapping the missing controls ordered to stop looking.

The MACHINE has judges. Has lawyers. Has media. Has entire states moving in coordination...

This isn't about spreadsheets anymore. This isn't about waste or controls or management. This is about who controls the machine.

Because when you find something like empty fields in Treasury's payment system, you're not just finding missing data. You're finding purpose. When basic controls sit blank while billions vanish weekly, that's not incompetence. That's design.

Wow! Very informative. Canada needs to get with the program.

The Machine isn't happy about being challenged and the establishment media seem to have received their latest narrative talking point, from whoever funds them and pulls their strings - NPR, New York Times, CNN, Washington Post...

From the same people who brought you Biden "sharp as a tack"... you would think that our wonderful oh-so-superior "professional journalists" would have the ability to mix it up a little and use their own words to make the same points.

The only constitutional crisis is the partisan judges trying to derail democracy by judicial fiat.

This is pretty damning:

And Elon's checking this out...

Joe Lonsdale was one of the original PayPal guys in Elon's early days. He went on to be one of the founders of Palentir. Now he's a big venture capital guy in Austin Texas. He says:

“I have mentors in the Reagan administration who came in looking for [government waste].

Those people were not technical.

When they went to the bureaucracy, and they asked questions, there are so many ways of obscuring and blocking and deterring.

Elon got root access, and he went to the tech systems themselves.

No one has done this ever.

No president had ever had tech people around him.

They went to the systems, and they started finding things like, my goodness.

These people who work for the agencies tried to confront them and say, no, you can't look at the systems.

They're freaking out.

It's very transparent: They went to the systems, they actually saw the payments and the payments were going out to crazy shit.

There were [duplicated] payments to people with the same Social Security numbers and payments to people with no number.

There are payments to Internews Network, which is training media all around the world on how to have a certain point of view that's very left.

I think this is amazing, but people want to slow them down.

Do they want to slow them down from stopping their grift?

This is really the biggest question here.”

DOGE is zeroing out the National Endowment for Democracy, an "NGO" almost entirely funded by the US taxpayer.

It seems that the NED has decided that nationalism and populism somehow equal authoritarianism and that letting voters vote for whoever those voters choose to vote for is somehow a "threat to democracy". So the NED has sought to undermine unfavored politicians both at home and abroad (from Orban in Hungary and Bolsonaro in Brazil, to Donald Trump here in the US) as well as promoting media censorship and advertiser boycotts of conservative media worldwide on the grounds that conservative media is "disinformation" dangerous to "democracy".

Democrats shriek that DOGE can't zero out funds that were already appropriated by Congress (that's the gist of their so-called "constitutional crisis") except that the US federal government is currently operating on a temporary "continuing resolution" that expires soon (March 14). A budget for next year remains to be voted on by Congress, and funding for selected budget items can most definitely be zeroed out in next year's budget.

Somehow authoritarian leaders generally want to increase their empire, it might be Ukraine, Canada, Greenland,Taiwan or just a canal controlled by pesky foreigners. Common targets within the country tend to be people who are new, different (gay!) .. it can be a long list.

It seems the NED has decided that nationalism and populism are the best way to bag an authoritarian leader within a democratic framework - I think history tends to confirm that view. There's an inherent problem with 'populism' - trying to prevent the obvious consequences isn't going to be popular.
