In an affidavit filed in federal court on Friday, a former senior civil servant at the Social Security Administration (SSA) detailed how deputies for Elon Musk forced their way into the agency, formed a clandestine unit, and gained access to its most sensitive databases.
How many Americans will ever hear a word about this? They'll go along, blindly trusting the orange sadist -- until it affects their lives. But by then, if will, of course, be too late.
It's like a cookie pattern. This is how USPS was destroyed in part. Now the methodology proliferates into SS, and who knows what other small offices in our government. It will grow. Like Cancer!
Sadly I wonder how many D's are.... disappointed in "r' Lisa Merkowski (sp?)..gave up on "r" Susan years ago... all we needed were 2 or 3 r's with a heart..so jd cannot cast the deciding vote... our lives hang in the balance on the whims of 5 or 6 people?
Thanks for providing that link. I read the whole thing and yes, it truly is terrifying. I used to work on a system like the SSA has, using COBOL programming, so I'm fully aware of the dangers of giving over source code to someone unfamiliar with that programming language.
I got an email from the SSA yesterday saying that my annual earnings letter was available and that to get it I would have to log on. It would no longer be sent by mail. In order to read it I had to agree to new terms of service which included, "I agree that the Social Security Administration is not responsible for the improper disclosure of any information that the Social Security Administration has provided to me or any information that is on or from my computer or other device, whether due to my negligence or the wrongful acts of others".
I did not agree to that so have no way to get my earnings record short of going to an SSA office.
I got an email as well, but didn't even click to open it. I knew exactly that they would be sending something to "agree to terms", "verify account / banking information ", etc. I have been expecting this for some time, so they have us on record with "permission ". I have decided not to open anything from them, and just wait and see if our SS deposits continue. I also had a small, unexplained "deposit " to the bank account that my husband's SS goes into, and our bank's fraud department is investigating it. I believe it was a "test" transaction". They may have sold this information to an outsider. I had previously moved most of our balances out of this bank, expecting something like this to happen, and am paying bills from a different bank now.
Helene thank you for this critical advice. Please alert main stream media since most Americans will be blindsided. We are all exposed and this catastrophe will be impossible to repair.
I hope you’re right. In order to access anything on the SSA site you must agree to those conditions. I set up an account quite a while ago and never had to agree to them before so this is definitely new. I’m almost ready to apply for Social Security so I am very concerned. I guess I will have to make an appointment and go in person.
I’ll be applying this year, too. But will the closest office still be open? I downloaded my most recent Ss statement a month ago, before the new terms and conditions was in place
These DOGE Bros really are like vermin gnawing their way in and destroying everything just because that is their nature. This story seems like it should also talk about those who come into rescue, but instead, long time employees are jumping ship. As an individual collecting social security, this worries me. As an American, I am terrified that we are falling apart so easily. As if, as if, as if, this was all planned for a long time. As if those who planned this knew that human nature was to bow down or to flee. But how did they know all those Congresspersons would fold so easily?
It used to be a truism that Social Security was an electrified third rail in American politics- no one touched it. But now that seems a thing of the past. Using completely debunked theories of fraud, the flimsiest of excuses. Musk is now seeking to gather information on all of us, with the ability to cut off payments. I wonder if his ultimate goal is to privatize the fund? Perhaps secure it with cryptocurrency?
The goal has always been to privatize it. Also the Post Office, ALL of Medicare and any other good thing the government provides...so they can turn it over to the for-profit oligarchs.
His aim is most definitely to privatize SSA, along with the post office and other services. Why else would there be two private equity personnel at SSA now as part of doge?
Why is this being allowed? Have the Democrats dropped their support of everything important to our survival?
Arrests need to be made immediately, all the way up to Hehr Trump and his new best boyfriend Elon Musk. Last week I saw a photo of Trump watching Elon speaking. Donnie's facial expression was that of pure adoration.
Stop the damned Fourth Reich before they solidify its existence! Shout from the highest mountains. The world is at risk and the pitiful abject fear of the Trump Mafioso is sickening.
I'll be 79 April 1st. Even without Social Security being under attack I can barely squeeze by after bills are paid. My health is at its lowest ever and, on top of the worry and anger about Social Security, my Veterans benefits are also at risk.
This is not America. I would leave but the Orange Claws are peeling away Democracy worldwide. There's no escape. Yet those with the power to do anything about it need to crap or get off the pot. We don't deserve to be laughed at by the sadistic men and women of wealth. They must all be made to see and feel what it's like to suffer and tremble with fear of being hauled off to death camps.
Kamala! Tim! Are you listening? Get out the steamrollers of Democracy and flatten these criminals before they flatten us. You didn't lose. Wake the hell up! Does the Trump gang have any resemblance to the Republican Party's balanced agenda that kept both major parties from extremism? No. Donald Trump illegally stole votes by running on the Republican Party ticket. The votes of true Republicans were too few to win the election for them.
Separately the MAGA CULT votes falsely using the Republican Party ticket were not enough to win the election.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz won the election by the biggest landslide ever but no one would listen to me regarding Authoritarians voting as Republicans. Totally illegal and a perfect subject for incarceration of every last Playboy and Playgirl who made a mockery of the citizens of the United States! They're partying their asses off, filled with giddy plans of building lavish playpens for their selfish pleasures.
Of all the horrible criticizing of the Southern Baptists who created Project 2025 to use against common Americans of every race, creed, etc., all so they could take everything from us, especially our dignity.
Would a real Republican turn our own military against us, including the addition of Trump's private army who are set up in hate groups in all 50 states? Would a real Republican turn our Constitution over to the unChristian Nationalists to trash and rewrite to please their own bullying sense of Christianity? No!
I don't care if I live or die within the next hour. But I want my last words to be shared with the true Americans in the hopes of building a fire under their asses and straighten this carnage out in one quick drop of the Democracy bomb.
As a Vietnam Veteran and gay man, I loved my country enough to share it with other Americans regardless of bloodlines and religious beliefs if those beliefs were held within the walls of your places of worship. I mean every faith.
Today I can honestly say that the lack of attention by the People to be awake enough to protect our Democracy, our Constitution, our Independence, and demanding every person with a law degree from Civil to Federal positions be forbidden to decide under the desires of any political party, absolute deciding according to the Rule of Law. Not one cent should be accepted by any of them other than the pay by our tax dollars.
Politicians must be sternly vetted, special playing favorites by gerrymandering and other ways to make voting difficult for any American of voting age has to cease.
Our Rights must be stabilized and given to every citizen born in this country and those who came here for a better life, including absolute protection from bigotry and the horrors created by hate groups which, by the way, need to be abolished once and for all.
Owning weapons must come with the strictest of ownership laws.
America must reach out and help create sanity and safety to the common people of every nation on earth. Authoritarian governments must be disassembled and stop the tragedy of people running away in hopes of finding safety.
The criminals who've destroyed the hopes and dreams of people everywhere by using their greed to take what they want from weaker nations and sending troups in to murder anyone who tries to stop them, those are the ones to stop before they gather enough strength to satisfy their greed.
Above all, believing that your family members who died in wars that were created by greed (does Rothschilds ring a bell?) and power, they're heroes but not for the reasons they are believed as such. They believed they were fighting for their countries while, in reality, there were candy-assed individuals like Donald Trump who lied his way out of serving his nation and even told each of his children that if any one of them joined the military he would disown them.
I could go on but if anyone doesn't think what I've written here is a push in the right direction, screw you. When I understood the Words of Jesus Christ without buying into the miracles, combined those Words with the contents of "The Book of Etiquette", I made my thought processes out of the love of truth and generosity.
I will not be kind enough to forgive anyone for the harm they've done throughout the ages using their greed as a method to destroy innocent lives in order to steal what was meant to be shared amongst indigenous people around the world.
Why forgive thieves, rapists, razing cities and killing, by now, who knows how many innocent people have died because of greed that smothered any decent human emotion to create personal worlds where gold toilests installed in massive buildings where evil plans are made for the next victims in their ice cold hearts to be subjected to rapacious behavior.
How incredibly lucky I've been to at least take my freedoms and rights without asking; to have traveled coast to coast and North to South, able to find beautiful, friendly people of all sorts, and feel blessed that there was such an opportunity.
Prejudice is a terrible thing to have to witness in the land of the free and the home of the brave. But never has that prejudice been more pressurized than it is right at this moment.
I hope my fellow Americans will find the strength to tear the roots of Fascism from our system and provide the punishment that will make it clear that this is not what you want to experience. If you don't deal with it immediately then, oh well, the many of us who tried to open your eyes to reality, our words fell on deaf ears. At least our conscience was at the heart of our existence and, if I had a tail, I'd wag it.
I don’t think that President musk is going to take the Social Security away from the boomers
I think he’s gonna go after the millennials and the younger people and make sure that they don’t get any after they have sucked The younger generations, Ira accounts down to absolutely nothing so they can’t even count on that when they retire..
The enemy needs to go immediately
We must save our younger generations, Social Security
Congresspeople are going to be overwhelmed with furious seniors when allotments fail to show up in our mailboxes or checking accounts. And if/when we find out that our personal information has been compromised…..watch out below. The older we get the less we have to lose, so we are more willing to raise our voices. Are you going to order senior citizens who are protesting your politics and policies to be shot, Mr. Trump? That ought to really endear you to your base.
Suspect that Republicans are going along with this, waiting for the system to be broken by the DOGEbags or fail and then they will insist it must be privatized. That's what they've wanted all along.
I think people who actually depend on SSA, Medicare and Medicaid or VA Benefits etc … are enraged, angry, whatever. Its the ones who don’t depend on it who don’t understand that this will affect them too. If your parent or sibling or good friend loses their lifeline, where will they live and how will they manage their food and medical care expenses? They will end up needing you to provide all those things. Their loss will be your loss … especially since you will probably have lost your own healthcare, livelihood, and maybe even your home.
How many Americans will ever hear a word about this? They'll go along, blindly trusting the orange sadist -- until it affects their lives. But by then, if will, of course, be too late.
It's like a cookie pattern. This is how USPS was destroyed in part. Now the methodology proliferates into SS, and who knows what other small offices in our government. It will grow. Like Cancer!
I'm amazed how many American traitors we have!
From Jess Craven, here's a Google Docs link to a copy of the deposition filed on 3-6-2025. Reading it is truly terrifying.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1--ejDJ7CZHV-NtQAdT_V5zkzWWd5uLowre_ojTBrRIk/edit?usp=drivesdk
And our Republican Senators and Representatives are ok with this.
Sadly I wonder how many D's are.... disappointed in "r' Lisa Merkowski (sp?)..gave up on "r" Susan years ago... all we needed were 2 or 3 r's with a heart..so jd cannot cast the deciding vote... our lives hang in the balance on the whims of 5 or 6 people?

Those would likely be ruled "unenforceable" ToS if it ever went to court.

Except they're the ones hacking us. I'm not agreeing to that.
Our government is a massive Jenga tower, with blocks removed at whim by Musk.
At some point, it won't simply be slowed agencies with mistakes compounding mistakes...the entire system will begin to fail.
These DOGE Bros really are like vermin gnawing their way in and destroying everything just because that is their nature. This story seems like it should also talk about those who come into rescue, but instead, long time employees are jumping ship. As an individual collecting social security, this worries me.

As if those who planned this knew that human nature was to bow down or to flee. But how did they know all those Congresspersons would fold so easily?
When elected officials worry about Jewish space lasers, it's not a good sign they'll recognize a real crisis.
R’s have been planning this for decades, at least since the 80s.

Really excellent!
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Woo Hoo!!! Spot on!
DOGE is like a bunch of kids playing with matches: they don't seem to understand (or care) that if they burn the place down others will suffer.
Nice reporting PI! Watch your back!
Or worse, they enjoy the suffering of others. So thrilling. 😞
I've said this before:
The Republican mantra has changed over the years:
It used to be "I've made mine; feel free to make yours"
Then it became "I've made mine and I'm coming for yours"
Then it became "I've made mine, I'm coming for yours, and if you're not suffering, I'm not happy"
Two of them graduated from UC Berkeley. They need to have their degrees revoked.
I posted this newsletter on Facebook and within minutes it was deleted and called SPAM!
That's common practice at FB. Time to exit it.
Oh my God really??
Whoa!
We’ve got to stop these bastards!!!
They are too arrogant and contemptuous to know it, but the third rail that is SS will fry them.
From your keyboard to G*d’s screen, Becky
I don’t think that President musk is going to take the Social Security away from the boomers

We must pray to ketamine to do its job

Why isn’t EVERYONE OUTRAGED?

We depend on SS, Medicare, Military Retirement and VA Benefits. My husband also has a retirement from our local Sheriff’s Department.
I have Multiple Sclerosis so I have Social Security Disability. Before MS took me out of the workforce I had held a job since I was 14.
And it jeopardizes their future too
