Power absolute, capricious, corrupt, evil, unaccountable, lawless– and who or what is to stop him?

None should be surprised either by Donald Trump’s evisceration of the American Intelligence and American National Security Communities in their entirety or Elon Musk’s role in operationalizing a breathtaking and seemingly bloodless and invisible coup through the manipulating of the nation’s most critical and powerful cyber systems. Why not? Having been conceded the Presidency of the United States, Trump and his digital thug Elon Musk have the highest all-access rights to every asset not only in in the Federal Government but all assets subject to oversight by Federal law enforcement and security powers through every inch of their domain and now asserted sovereignty. If left alone, the announcement will come as scripted while the manner in governance will be monarchic beneath the cover of Presidential legitimacy tied to a hollowed-out American secular democratic republic.

Go with the premise.

As absolute in power–what military or police are there to oppose Trump? What armed population is there to oppose his officials or protectors? The greatest democracy on earth elected–or failed to contest the election of–an unqualified felon and mentally ill figure who has paid the ideals, laws, principles, and values of the Republic–and the Great Society it created–lip service at best.

Today, the Servants of the American State sworn to defend her Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic find themselves demonized for their integrity and honor as the incontrovertible truth will remain that Mafia Don really is a criminal with a long history of KGB/FSB interest and related revenues in real estate business involving Russian sources.

In their heads, Musk, Trump (and Putin and XI) are the good guys, and while they’ll mess with one another, even war, the structural character of their states will remain absolute, authoritarian, autocratic, totalitarian. Americans will no longer live with the dignity and freedom conferred on them through the principles, protections, and rights specified by the American Constitution. That will serve for show–and pretty images of happy (white) Americans in love with Donald Trump will serve for advertising the new “greatness” of a state monstrous in its reality. Who will be the new enemies of such a state left to establish itself: career military, police, intelligence, and security officials who won’t kiss Trump’s worn out old ass.

As regards the “peaceful transfer of power”, that will be easy: dynasty, chosen others or family, quietly determined by rigged elections and suited to the controls of an American Technocracy and the most unbridled, unprincipled, vulgar, and ruthless of America’s wealthiest families and political mafias.

Call the above last statement a possibility, something to think about if you’re old enough to think about duty, honor, nation, and oath.

The Anti-Defamation League and Elon Musk have been sparring over the fate of hate speech on Musk’s “Digital Commons”, so I call it–#DigitalCommons–on X. The ADL appears to believe Musk is a publisher who should be responsible for the content of his web site while Musk appears devoted to the broadest legal freedom of speech concept and feel the obligation to sustain X uncensored. In the way of X, I’ve weighed in. Clearly, Musk neither authors nor edits the platform he administers in his role as a technologist. Forthwith, my opinion at X address https://x.com/JS_Oppenheim/status/1703418994139566319 –>

#IntegrityMatters #ResponsiveAndResponsibleGovernanceMatters

Single platform publishing has eliminated the boundaries that once sustained mainstream, fringe, and marginal communities in each their own domains. Today, the #DigitalCommons offers all everything at once in one place. That would not be a problem but for and into organizations or movements criminal or once marginalized by paper-based distribution.

Rx. Defenders of laws and within bounds civil behavior may have to go direct to their antagonists. Conspiracy, defamation, incitement (to crime) needs must be fielded, and the #DigitalCommons may not be itself the policing element.

Note: in the United States, not all speech has been protected under the First Amendment. Defamation, libel, and slander may be brought to court by suit or tort; conspiracy to commit crime or incitement to violence may be detected and met by the power of the State through its law enforcement agencies.

Elon Musk ISO Self-Navigating Soul

Have these emperors no clothes?

Putin has turned out a monster fairly bathing in blood; Trump has been all but declared a felon several times over–his image will lose the “alleged” before the charges against him; and here Musk, the world’s wealthiest industrialist appears ill-informed and lacking in insight. The first two I would cast as feudal-medieval thugs and in modern parlance “malignant narcissists”; the third has expressed concern for his fellow travelers in the most democratic terms, but while his platform, literally, and stature give him a mighty voice, he appears without background for the world he may view, also literally, from outer space.

Here follow three brief X-Riposte (I guess) to his callous and naive suggestion on Russia’s ethnocide in Ukraine: “Both sides should agree to a truce.”–>

I know I know my little bit of history in relation to Russia but am no match for Ph.D’s in Russian Studies–and to my own disadvantage, don’t speak a word of the language. On the other hand, inflection points and nodes may emerge from broad and general knowledge (plus boundless curiosity), and that much I have enjoyed in abundance. With respect to Russian history, I do know that those who crossed from what is today Scandinavia found the northern soil of the new continent thin and consequently would roam south for more fertile land (credit the thought to Pipes, Richard.  Russia Under the Old Regime: The History of Civilization.  New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1974).

For vision, it helps to have background, engagement over time, an understanding of historic as well as present issues, and awareness–sometimes in depth–of variables contributing mightily to the way things look and, in fact, appear real and true with high confidence.

For Elon Musk and others, Russia has behaved in the manner of a criminal enterprise since the early mid-1990s. It’s leader’s malign narcissistic psychology has been expressed through especially cruel and sadistic operations in service to his development of political power. He hasn’t Russia’s better interests in mind but rather the defense of his own projected and sustained heroic image, and given his underlying fear of humiliation–or related cowardice–has no reverse gear, however irrational the prospect of his own continued success may appear.

Over time, BackChannels has covered Russia’s establishment of its anti-Semitic beliefs and traditions, its transfer of related thought to Adolph Hitler, and its yoking of the Palestinians to its own hate and related political paradigms.

Packaged here for compression, all cited URL’s may be unpacked but perhaps not in a simple hour or a day, but to any devoted to seeing how things work and have worked, what matters a little more time?

For the technology-enabled future of greatest benefit to humanity, both Putin and Trump must be defeated as the anachronistic and far bent personalities each has become. For Ukraine, there will be no security for Russia left as a politically intact and ever ruthless and vicious kleptocracy with imperial ambitions; for the United States, there should be no drift into criminal horse dealing of its own and the compromising of the privileges, prerogatives, and rights of citizenship without bounds of the nation’s Constitution and established political and social ideals, processes, and traditions.
