Hier von einem Versagen staatlicher Strukturen zu schreiben, ist meines Erachtens sehr höflich und diplomatisch formuliert, denn angesichts des kaum mehr zählbaren 'Versagens' der letzten Jahrzehnten, was den staatlichen Umgang mit Alt- und Neonazis anbelangt, sind wir über ein Versagen in Einzelfällen hinaus! Wir befinden uns im Bereich billigend in Kauf genommener Kooperation und Integration politisch entsprechend gesinnter Personen.

This is obviously THE news of the day (week?):

We can't believe not a single person involved in this chat didn't speak up to say 'this is a bad idea to use Signal for this.'   

But we actually wonder if it was by design- that they feared the DEEP STATE so much they weren't going to use the encrypted tools available to the DOD & our intelligence services. It seemingly doesn't make sense unless viewed from that perspective.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The DARKEST evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and #snowflake.

The woods are lovely and DARK, and #DeepState and #snowflakes will censor "#queer",
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep…

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?

Im zerfallenden #Rechtsstaat der #USA 🇺🇸 errang der #Fossilismus einen schlimmen Zwischen-Sieg: Nach v.a. indigenen Protesten gegen eine Ölpipeline wurde die Mitwelt-NGO #Greenpeace zu mehreren Hundert Millionen Dollar „Strafe“ verurteilt.

Ist Europa sicher? Warne dringend vor dem #DeepState - Verschwörungsmythos, der auch deutsche Medien & Politik erreicht hat. 🇩🇪🇪🇺🤔🔥

Dass der #DeepState - Verschwörungsmythos aus den #USA von #QAnon & #MAGA zuletzt bis in deutsche Medien und den Bundestag vordrang, benenne ich als problematisch, ja dualistisch. Ist das für Dich nachvollziehbar?

Nachdem die #WamS (Welt am Sonntag) einen #Afd-Wahlaufruf von #ElonMusk veröffentlichte & #UlfPoschardt dualistische #DeepState-Verschwörungsmythen sogar gegen die Kirchen verbreitete, springt mir nun diese Pseudo-Warnung der #Welt vor einem angeblichen "Kontrollverlust" entgegen.

Hatte schon 2022 auch den #AxelSpringer-Konzern vor dem Kurs der #Desinformation & des #Fossilismus gewarnt.🤔🔥 Mein Vertrauen in Lobby-#Medien ist weg. #Medienethik #Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie juedische-allgemeine.de/politi

Unter einem Welt-Werbebild auf MSN steht: "Wer nicht will, dass die AfD irgendwann das Kanzleramt betritt, muss den Kontrollverlust..." - gemeint ist wohl beenden.

"the people who spent years warning us about an imaginary #DeepState have built an actual one. The people who claimed to fear unaccountable bureaucrats have installed literally unaccountable bureaucrats. The people who insisted they would drain the swamp have filled it with their own particularly toxic sludge.

Their accusations weren’t warnings — they were spoilers."
techdirt.com/2025/03/10/doge-h

Text from article(edited for length): ...DOGE has emerged as the genuine embodiment of the “deep state” we were warned about — except instead of civic-minded career officials, we now have nihilistic power-mad adrenaline junkies running the show. This matters because DOGE isn’t just another example of hypocrisy in action — it represents a fundamental threat to the systems and institutions that actually make government work for people. Of course, DOGE’s defenders claim they’re just “cutting red tape” and “eliminating waste” — as if they discovered government employees whose sole job was to light taxpayer money on fire. In reality, they’re dismantling the systems that protect us from everything from food poisoning to financial collapse. When you replace expertise with ego and public service with personal enrichment, you don’t just get bad policy — you get the systematic dismantling of the infrastructure that supports innovation, protects civil liberties, and maintains the guardrails that keep power in check. The deep state they imagined never existed. The one they’re building is all too real. So here we are: the people who spent years warning us about an imaginary deep state have built an actual one. The people who claimed to fear unaccountable bureaucrats have installed literally unaccountable bureaucrats. The people who insisted they would drain the swamp have filled it with their own particularly toxic sludge. Their accusations weren’t warnings — they were spoilers.

DOGE Has Become What It Claimed To Destroy
techdirt.com/2025/03/10/doge-h

"DOGE is the #DeepState. Wired’s Brian Barrett made this crucial observation last week & I can’t get it out of my mind. For all the talk during the last decade of the supposed “deep state” of #unelected bureaucrats controlling the #government, which was never actually true, #DOGE has become the very deep state they falsely claimed existed previously."

Headline and text from article: Headline: DOGE Has Become What It Claimed To Destroy from the every-accusation dept Mon, Mar 10th 2025 03:00pm - Mike Masnick Text: There’s that old saying that every accusation is a confession. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Musk/Trump administration, everything is projection. While claiming to champion free speech and fight government censorship, they’ve become the most aggressively censorial administration in modern history. After years of performative outrage about campus speech restrictions, they’re systematically dismantling academic freedom. They’re “rescuing” what they called a terrible Biden economy (which was actually remarkably strong) by… implementing policies that have economists screaming about an inevitable recession (or worse). But here’s where the projection becomes almost perfectly aligned: DOGE is the deep state. Wired’s Brian Barrett made this crucial observation last week and I can’t get it out of my mind. For all the talk during the last decade of the supposed “deep state” of unelected bureaucrats controlling the government, which was never actually true, DOGE has become the very deep state they falsely claimed existed previously.

#DeepState #USpol #Stupidity #Bogeyman #RantForTheDay

I can safely say I will block/mute anyone who uses the words "Deep State" in the post as it applies to a real entity.

If you, as a human, haven't come to terms with the fact that "Deep State" is a Bogeyman and doesn't really exist, then I don't want to interact in any way with you, now, or in the future. You are just plain #stupid for using those words.
That *** is my rant for the day.

MAGA Loses It as DOGE Staffer Identities Revealed

#MAGA is furious that #public employees were identified.
newrepublic.com/post/192086/ma

"The #NYT identified several dozen employees working for #DOGE, but conservatives were surprisingly unhappy about the #transparency...

knowing who’s behind the seismic cuts is apparently not a priority for #conservatives, who would seemingly rather keep DOGE’s operators in a literal #DeepState"

Text from article: DOGE employees have been handed the monumental task of slashing federal spending. So far, the group has gained access to and gutted portions of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Education, Commerce, Defense, and Energy Departments, the Inflation Reduction Act, Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Emergency Management Agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Agency for International Development, and, among other agencies, the Federal Aviation Administration, even as the nation experiences an unprecedented uptick in critical aviation crashes. Elon Musk predicted Wednesday that the organization would meet its goal of hacking $1 trillion from the budget. Many of the staffers employed under the helm of Musk’s organization come equipped with minimal Washington experience, according to the Times, while a large number of them have former working relationships with Musk. But knowing who’s behind the seismic cuts is apparently not a priority for conservatives, who would seemingly rather keep DOGE’s operators in a literal deep state.
