Elon Musk sent the entire world a significant and consequential alarm message on Sunday, September 29, 2024 at 11:11am. [Here is the LINK]
The complete message is below.
ELON MUSK – “Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!
Let me explain: if even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year, something that the Democrats are expediting as fast as humanly possible, that would be about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years.
The voting margin in the swing states is often less than 20 thousand votes. That means if the “Democratic” Party succeeds, there will be no more swing states!!
Moreover, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying “asylum seekers”, who are fast-tracked to citizenship, directly into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona. It is a surefire way to win every election.
America then becomes a one-party state and Democracy is over. The only “elections” will be the Democratic Party primaries. This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty.
The only thing holding California back from extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in America. Once the whole country is controlled by one party, there will be no escape.
Everywhere in America will be like the nightmare that is downtown San Francisco.” ~Elon Musk
On Friday, Kamala Harris provided the receipts for Elon Musk’s warning:
Yet the media gaslights and continues to say this is a conspiracy theory.

Family is at the forefront of Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, and she speaks frequently and fondly of her late mother’s influence – but rarely is there mention of her father. A “Marxist” economics professor who left Jamaica for UC Berkeley, Donald J Harris has said little about his daughter during her meteoric rise – other than to scold her, writes Sheila Flynn
Kamala Harris was on her 2019 memoir promotion tour when she joked around with radio host Charlamagne the God, the future vice president cheekily answering his question about whether she’d ever used marijuana.
“Half my family’s from Jamaica,” she said. “Are you kidding me?”
The man responsible for that half of the family, however – the politician’s father, economist Donald J. Harris – wasn’t laughing. Despite his virtual invisibility throughout Harris’ political rise, her father chose that moment to raise his head above the parapet.
He sent a letter to a media outlet in his native Jamaica, publicly scolding her like a naughty child.
“My dear departed grandmothers (whose extraordinary legacy I described in a recent essay on this website), as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics,” he wrote.

“Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.”
His daughter’s representatives made no comment at the time, at least not publicly, and the professor again went silent.
“I have decided to stay out of all the political hullabaloo by not engaging in any interviews with the media,” he wrote in an email reviewed at the time by POLITICO.
And it seems he stayed true to his word; there’s been nary a peep from the 85-year-old Stanford emeritus professor as his daughter’s White House campaign makes waves across America.
The weed brouhaha, however, seems a nod to a long-term fraught relationship between the two – even if the seeds for Harris’ political aspirations can be clearly seen from the early days of her parents’ university courtship.
Donald broke academic barriers a generation before his ceiling-shattering daughter. Born in Jamaica in 1938 and raised in St Ann Parish, he was descended on his father’s side from planter and slave-owning politician Hamilton Brown, founder of Brown’s Town on the island.
The academic has credited his grandmothers as his greatest early influences. His father’s mother, Miss Chrishy (born Christiana Brown), owned a dry goods store on the main street of Brown’s Town and “sparked my interest in economics and politics simply by my observing and listening to her in her daily routine,” he wrote in 2018, including listening to her chats about politics with family and friends.
Donald spent summers on a cane farm run by his maternal grandmother, Miss Iris (Iris Finegan), which sparked his interest in the role sugar played in the country’s economy, including its slave trade.
“It was this early intimate exposure to operation of the sugar industry at the local level of small-scale production with family labour and free wage-labour, coupled with my growing curiosity about how these things came to be, that led me, once I started reading about the history of Jamaica, to a closer study of the sugar industry,” he wrote in Jamaica Global. “I came then to understand its origin as a system of global production and commerce, based on slave labour, with Jamaica as a key component of that system from its very start.”
He attended the University of the West Indies before graduating from the University of London and later earning a PhD from UC Berkeley.
It was at Berkeley where he met Kamala’s mother Shyamala Gopalan, who’d left her home in India as a teenager in 1958 to pursue a doctorate in nutrition and endocrinology. She fell in love with Donald, her first boyfriend, “in that most American way – while marching together for justice in the civil rights movement of the 1960s,” Harris said in her 2020 Democratic National Convention Speech.
The foreign students were active in leftist circles at Berkeley, and Shyamala was welcomed into Black groups as a person of color who’d grown up under the colonial system.
“She was part of the real brotherhood and sisterhood. There was never an issue,” one of the couple’s contemporaries, Aubrey LaBrie, told The New York Times in 2020. “She was just accepted as part of the group.”
Another member, Anne Williams, called Donald “reserved and academic in his presentation” while Shyamala was “warm” and “charming,” according to the Times.
“There was no doubt about that, they were very much together, very much in love,” added another academic they’d known at the time, Baron Meghnad Desai.
The couple married, then welcomed Kamala in 1964, followed by her sister Maya two years later. They brought the young sisters to visit family in Jamaica, where Donald retraced with them the steps of his upbringing in the hopes of sharing “the lessons I had learned along the way,” he wrote in Jamaica Global Online.
He wanted his daughters to know they could do anything — although he may not have expected the answer to be the President of the United States. His lessons went beyond their personal aspirations and were meant to awaken a broader sense of social awareness and responsibility, he wrote.
He said he wanted to teach them “that the sky is the limit on what one can achieve with effort and determination and that, in this process, it is important not to lose sight of those who get left behind by social neglect or abuse and lack of access to resources or ‘privilege’,” he wrote. “And that it is important to ‘give back’ with service to some greater cause than oneself.”

Her parents’ marriage was rapidly dissolving, however, and they separated when Harris was around five, when her father took a job at the University of Wisconsin. The couple divorced several years later, and the economics professor worked at other midwest universities before joining the faculty at Stanford.
“I’ve often thought that had they been a little older, more emotionally mature, maybe the marriage could have survived,” Harris wrote of her parents. “But they were so young.
“My father remained a part of our lives. We would see him on weekends and spend summers with him in Palo Alto. But it was really my mother who took charge of our upbringing. She was the one most responsible for shaping us into the women we would become.”
Her mother is the one she speaks of most often during speeches. And Donald rarely appears in the rest of Harris’s memoir, although Harris describes the divorced kid’s dilemma of inviting both of her parents to her college graduation “even though I knew they wouldn’t speak to each other.”
Her mother was late and Harris feared she might not attend because she didn’t want to see her ex husband; instead, Shyamala, usually a casually dressed scientist, made a late entrance in “a very bright red dress and heels.”
Donald has protested that he was barred from more involvement in his daughters’ lives, blaming family laws at the time that usually favored the mother. As he wrote in Jamaica Global, the “early phase of interaction with my children came to an abrupt halt in 1972 when, after a hard-fought custody battle in the family court of Oakland, California, the context of the relationship was placed within arbitrary limits imposed by a court-ordered divorce settlement based on the false assumption by the State of California that fathers cannot handle parenting (especially in the case of this father, ‘a neegroe from da eyelans’ was the Yankee stereotype, who might just end up eating his children for breakfast!).

“Nevertheless, I persisted, never giving up on my love for my children or reneging on my responsibilities as their father,” he wrote.
Following their early visits to Jamaica, he wrote, “in later years, when they were more mature to understand, I would also try to explain to them the contradictions of economic and social life in a ‘poor’ country, like the striking juxtaposition of extreme poverty and extreme wealth, while working hard myself with the government of Jamaica to design a plan and appropriate policies to do something about those conditions.”
And the extent of Donald’s involvement in the policies of his native island has been more extensively highlighted in the wake of his daughter’s presidential campaign. He successfully continued his academic career at Stanford, becoming the first Black scholar to receive tenure at the university’s economics department,reported The New York Times, calling him “a prominent critic of mainstream economic theory from the left.
“The Stanford Daily, reporting in 1976, described him as a ‘Marxist scholar,’ and said there was some opposition to granting him tenure because he was ‘too charismatic, a pied piper leading students astray from neo-Classical economics,’ the outlet wrote.

Alongside his academic career, he was advising the government in Jamaica, according to the Washington Post.
“Donald Harris’s policy work was absolutely foundational to the Jamaican economy,” Gladstone “Fluney” Hutchinson, an economics professor at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania who worked with him, told the outlet.
He said Donald began advising Jamaican officials by the late 1980s; in the early 1990s, the prime minister made Harris a senior economic adviser and the head of the country’s national industrial policy board, according to the Post.
Renee Anne Shirley, an adviser to the prime minister a decade later, told the New York Times she recalled reading his work as far back as 1965.
“In three years, he got tenure — think about it, a Black man — and then he left and went to go to Stanford? He is a big thing for us,” Shirley said. “He pushed the boundaries. He was way ahead of his time.”
And now his daughter is pushing her own boundaries, vying to become not just the next president but the first woman, the first Asian and the first Black woman president.
“When I was a little girl, my father wanted me to run free,” the vice president wrote in her memoir. “He would turn to my mother and say, “Just let her run, Shyamala.” And then he’d turn to me and say, “Run, Kamala. As fast as you can. Run!’
A Conservative MP’s call for a Parliamentary committee to study the nearly $50 billion in taxpayer money that has gone into the electric vehicle industry in the form of government subsidies was voted down on Thursday.
Conservative MP Rick Perkins, who represents South Shore—St. Margarets, NS, requested that the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology study the billions given to automakers in the EV industry as it continues to move away from EV manufacturing, instead returning to fossil-fuel powered vehicles.
The three key reasons Perkins addressed in his call for the study were firstly that the Northvolt $7 billion dollar EV battery power plant in Montreal, Que. delayed construction of its plant for upwards of a year while it undergoes a strategic review of its future operations, despite receiving $7.2 billion dollars worth of taxpayer money.
Secondly, Umicor’s $2.7 billion dollar EV factory component plant in Kingston, Ont. has also halted construction, despite receiving taxpayer subsidies.
Thirdly, Ford’s $1.8 billion EV expansion in Oakville, Ont. being scrapped and retooled to make gasoline pickups, despite receiving $590 million dollars worth of taxpayer subsidies.
“Given that the government of Canada has invested upwards of $50 billion dollars towards the creation of an EV battery ecosystem in Canada and has mandated that all automobile sales in Canada be zero emitting by 2035,” said Perkins, before asking that the committee “agree to conduct a four meeting study beginning in the first week of November to review the feasibility of the government’s EV strategy.”
He said that given the “significant amount of taxpayer support amid a global slowdown of EV sales and that the committee agree to hear from witnesses submitted by members of the committee proportional to their representation in the House and report its findings to the House and request that the government table a comprehensive response to the report.”
Perkins addressed the major scaling back of EV manufacturing that these automakers are doing elsewhere around the world, like Sweden, Germany and Norway.
“The only place where we seem to be continuing with this thing that consumers and the market aren’t buying, is the place where we have a massive government subsidy,” said Perkins. “In this case, when it comes to Stellantis and Volkswagen EV plants, what we have is a 100% assembly subsidy from the taxpayers of Canada through 2029. Then it’s 75% the year after and then 50% the year after that, 25% the year after that.”
According to Perkins, the result of this agreement is unsurprising given that global companies will only invest in EV production in countries where they’re getting 100% subsidies and where that isn’t the deal, they’re scaling back.
Several Liberal MPs repeatedly accused the Conservatives of denying climate change as their grounds for calling the study, despite Conservative members of the committee stating that was not their stance on the issue.
Conservative MP Michelle Rempel-Garner pointed out that there was no motive assigned when calling for the study.
Liberal MP Chandra Arya argued that the EV subsidies were necessary to attract businesses to Canada and to keep the country a player in the global supply chain.
“It’s time for us to encourage as many global players as possible to come to Canada and set up their plants,” said Arya. “We should not interfere in their day-to-day operations and their short-term strategies or tactics that they use.”
Arya went on to say that the government should not be getting involved in corporate decision-making, which Rempel-Garner took issue with this sentiment, saying that she often hears the Liberal and NDP members bemoaning “rich, corporate, executives.”
The Bloc and NDP also opposed the bill, claiming the motion was unfair to the auto industry and also poorly timed.
“Everybody in the Bloc knows I have patience, but I’ve run out of patience,” said Bloc Quebecois MP Jean-Denis Garon. “This motion seeks to try an entire industry, it could have been written to be productive but it’s written to be complacent.”
NDP Premier Brian Masse called the timing of the motion “difficult to deal with” and that he “can’t support this motion at this time.”
Hurricane Helene dissipated over the weekend, but not before smashing into Florida’s Big Bend as a category four storm, inflicting “biblical” damage across the southern United States.
After landfall, the heavy rains led to catastrophic flooding that’s killed almost 100 people so far. In the Newport area of Tennessee, about 60 miles outside Knoxville, residents were forced to scramble after the Waterville Damfailed.
And where’s Biden and Harris throughout this crisis? It’s part of an unseemly pattern with this administration: when disaster strikes, everyone runs away. A train derails in East Palestine, Ohio—the Biden White House drags their feet. Severe wildfires strike Maui, the deadliest in 100 years, and it takes Joe forever to get out there. Joe’s mind is applesauce. Kamala is too stupid to know what to do—and the rest of this government is stacked with incompetents and other invalids. Meanwhile, there are reports that hundreds of thousands of people in Ashville, North Carolina, could be without access to water for weeks.
Yes, this is a campaign issue because we have an administration that can’t do disaster response.
More than 2 million people remained without power late Sunday across the Southeast in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, including more than 430,000 in North Carolina, where the deadly storm pulverized homes, trapped residents, spawned landslides, and submerged communities under raging floodwaters.
At least 90 people have died across multiple states since the record-breaking storm hit Florida's Big Bend as a Category 4 hurricane with 140-mph winds Thursday, before moving north through Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas and weakening to a post-tropical cyclone. The death toll is expected to rise.
On Sunday, North Carolina officials were still trying to grasp the level of devastation. North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said at a news conference that at least 11 people died in the devastated state, "and tragically we know there will be more."
Buncombe County Manager Avril Pinder said more than 1,000 people were reported missing through the county’s online portal but added that she expected the number to drop dramatically when cell service is restored. Rescue crews are “still trying to save every single person we can” in the hard-hit community, Pinder said.
Hundreds of roads were washed away, cellular service for over 250,000 people was cut off, and vast swaths of cities such as Asheville were left underwater. Cooper said Helene had become "one of the worst storms in modern history for parts of North Carolina."
I have tongue-in-cheek called attention to the unstable mindset of the Ukrainian extremists, frequently in alignment with the “alligator emoji” people, by saying “Slava Ukrani.” At the end of my purposefully Freudian snark (misnomer I know), it was always the intent to draw attention to the rabid ideological outlook of those who promote World War Reddit.
However, putting aside prior snark, deep inside this unstable and tribal mindset there exists a very real and dangerous proclivity toward violence. Given the nature of how the IC has positioned Iran to be the suspect of any foreign assassination attempt upon President Trump. Personally, I consider that proactive narrative as a deflection from the very real foreign violence threat represented by those who are Ukranian extremists.
In essence, if there was to be any further attempt on the life of President Trump, specifically related to the reports of extremely dangerous weapons (missiles) smuggled into the United States, the most likely nationality of the trigger operators would be Ukraine, not Iran. The second assassination attempt by a Ukraine sympathizer Ryan Routh only underscores the view.
Under the guise of sympathy toward Ukraine, the UniParty power brokers in Washington DC have made substantial financial deposits toward their endeavors. Yes, within the U.S-Ukraine relationship there are billions at stake; and it is within that reality the origination of any threat to Donald Trump must be reviewed.
Adding context to this violent outlook, yet another unstable ‘Slava Ukraini’ story surfaces. Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (Tampa, Florida) received death threats from her democrat opponent, William Braddock, who then fled to the Philippines and was recently captured.
William Braddock, 41, of St. Petersburg, Fla. is accused of making the alleged threats on June 8, 2021 — including one where he threatened to “call up my Russian-Ukrainian hit squad” to take out his rival. (read more)
FROM THE DOJ: […] “According to the indictment, William Robert Braddock III, 41, of St. Petersburg, and Victim 1 were candidates in the primary election to represent the 13th Congressional District of Florida in the U.S. House of Representatives. Victim 2 was a private citizen and acquaintance of Victim 1. On June 8, 2021, Braddock made several threats to injure and kill Victim 1 and Victim 2 during a telephone call with Victim 2. Specifically, Braddock threatened, in part, to “call up my Russian-Ukrainian hit squad” and make Victim 1 disappear.
After making the threats, Braddock left the United States and was later found to be residing in the Philippines. Braddock was recently deported from the Philippines to the United States and made his first court appearance yesterday in Los Angeles.
Braddock is charged with one count of interstate transmission of a true threat to injure another person. If convicted, Braddock faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.” [Read Indictment Here]
