Now for what we have all been waiting for, DOGE to audit the IRS

[Contumacious]

My prediction is that if they End the Fed, they'll replace with it some sort of surveillable digital currency.

We've been seeing a lot of news that looks great on the surface.... but there's more going on that is being missed. The problem is, too many people are still stuck in the right/left paradigm and have a team sports politics mentality, which causes people to turn a blind eye to so many things. Why, because people are too busy cheerleading for their team and trusting their team leader, instead of looking at things critically and putting truth and principles first.

It Depends.

The Socialist Demon Rats want to monitor your expenditures.

Magadonians want a bitcoin-type --untraceable-- currency.

Yes that's what Magadonians and others want.... but that's not what those running the show want. That's my view anyway, but time will tell.

I don't know that a true audit of the Fed is actually possible. Especially in the day and age of high speed trading, wide-scale black budgets, etc.

We told you the same thing eight years ago but you didn't listen. Hence, why Trump is president now.

Just a LIE. Joe Biden DID NOT direct his admin or doj to go after anyone on the right. It was the doj, based on criminality....

ON THE OTHER HAND, Trump has been very public in his pushing his admin to fire, charge, or punish everyone on the left for his own lawlessness.

A Billionaire auditing the agency that monitors his taxes

What could go wrong with that?

A billionaire appointed by a billionaire who has supposedly had his tax returns under audit for years.

Musk Team Seeks Access to I.R.S. System With Taxpayers’ Records​

The examination of the I.R.S. system represents the latest move by members of Mr. Musk’s team to push the boundaries of access to government data beyond what is typical for political appointees. The Treasury Department has faced questions in recent weeks after lieutenants of Mr. Musk who were assigned to the agency started scrutinizing the Bureau of the Fiscal Service’s system, which directs payments across the federal government.

trumples have so lost their perspective even obvious conflicts are glossed over as they bow to the Orange Messiah's every desire.

Define "true audit"

IMHO Since the data is all digital finding out where/when/how dollar X moved from point A to point B is trivial and what point A and point B are is trivial data science, connecting all the dots is a bit trickier but doable (especially since organizations have already accomplished similar exercises and the algo's, source data and code are open source (e.g. Panama Papers)).

So, if the end goal is figure out where the Fed has been moving money to and who all the recipients are connected to, not an insurmountable challenge.

The very difficult part is figuring out WHY the moves happened and what moves happened below the first tier.

Of course Biden didn't tell anyone to go after anyone on the right. They are all part of the Borg Collective and already know what to do without being told. "Get Trump".

The government uses archaic computer systems and outdated software such as Cobol. The DOGE team is using more efficient code and AI to sift through agencies expenses and reveal financial connections that would've otherwise been really hard to detect. It's really simple.

Let’s not forget where we started: the acceleration toward the future: separating from everything big capital perceives as stagnation.

In other words, the “takeoff” toward a horizon where “sabotage”—whether ideological or administrative—would no longer be possible.

What, in these investors’ view, is the main obstacle to freedom, the thing that would slow down or even prevent the realization of their vision of techno-efficiency?

Answer: representative democracy. The parliamentary system. Universal suffrage. Politics, in general, as this term has been understood in America over the last 100 years.

Peter Thiel stated this as early as 2009, in a lecture for a libertarian-oriented think tank:

“I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible. (…)

The 1920s were the last decade in American history during which one could be genuinely optimistic about politics.

Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron.”

More recently, that same idea—that democracy is an obstacle—was explained by another Silicon Valley billionaire who went from the Democratic camp to Trump’s camp: Marc Andreessen.

In an interview from January 2025, Andreessen—who helped Trump with hiring interviews during the period between the presidential election and his inauguration—cites an Italian political scientist from the 20th century, Robert Michels, who proposed the concept of the “iron law of oligarchy.”

According to this concept, any form of social organization, no matter how democratic it tries to be at first, ends up becoming an oligarchy, meaning that true democracy is impossible, especially for large populations.

The explanation is that the masses cannot organize, and sooner or later, power is anyway seized by a narrow elite (a nomenklatura).

Ancient Greece and Florence during the Medici era were attempts at direct democracy, but both, according to Michels, failed miserably.

Finally, the most vehement critic of democracy is an eccentric thinker whose name has become relevant in America’s new political context because he is considered Peter Thiel’s “house philosopher.”
