In my meeting with Elon Musk, Seth came up!
5:10 PM
We're so back - Elon Musk came to the White House for a very important meeting!
What was the topic of discussion?We talked for hours, figuring out the key to saving the MAGA movement. We went through every possibility, looking far and wide for answers.
Once we figured it out, I began typing this email out to you.
You're not going to believe this...
The key to saving the MAGA

OREGON BS @oregonbs.bsky.social · 13h
There’s some BS around Christine Drazan that deserves scrutiny. Rebecca Wright was Drazan’s 2022 deputy campaign manager. Wright later became prez of Drazan’s nonprofit, A New Direction. She then became deputy COS to Labor Sec Chavez-DeRemer. #drazan oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/08/04/h...

The situation offers insight into how one of Oregon’s most successful recent Republican politicians handled her finances ahead of a campaign.

Everything you see happening to the United States is an intelligence operation run by professionals who know how the system works.
They have access to unlimited funding through the American taxpayer via NGO's & U.S. agencies like USAID. The only way to defeat these people is to strip the system and rebuild it from the ground up with people of integrity.

A feature of post-war German democracy has been that the left has traditionally had far more of a firewall to the far left than the center right has had with the far right. The central role of anti-communism in Cold War West Germany created a structural asymmetry that has not been reckoned with.

Here’s Chris Rufo and his podcast co-host addressing “the Indian question,” a reference to “the Jewish question.” That question was whether Jews could be incorporated into European society, and the Nazis were the ones who claimed to have developed the “final solution” to that “problem.”

A Walla Walla, WA newspaper editor in 1951 advocated rooting out the Marxists and Communists, claiming that the Democratic president had been too attentive to the rights of minorities and insufficiently respectful of the rights of White Christians. That editor was Syd Pierce, an antisemitic fascist.
given our country over into the hands of MINORITIES, without regard to the rights of the majority White Christian Constitutional Americans. Mr. Truman has con-doned, rather than condemned, racketeering and corruption in high places. He has NEVER made any real attempt to ROOT OUT

“She’d been told grim things about Jews when she was a kid, by her Hungarian grandfather, but never like this, from someone her age.” Family “wisdom” like this is one of the key ways fascistic ideas transfer from generation to generation like a rhizome. Fuentes’s message fell on fertile ground.

On November 5, 2025, the Oregon GOP hosted it's annual gala event--the Reagan Dinner. One of the headline speakers was MMA star Chael Sonnen, who at the time was talking about running for governor as a Republican. Three months earlier, Chael bragged about how he was going to steal the election.
54:50 it's done. I have cheated an election and I know how to cheat an election. And the moment I found out that you could get away with this was the moment I found out I was going to be governor.
54:58 And I put the word out to all the other candidates. By the way, if you want to go waste your time and waste your money, go ahead. But I'm going to steal this election.
You've said I mean you're saying it now.
