A sudden catastrophic failure of Tesla in the UK, considered the last place on earth still seeing positive sales of the dangerously out-of-date and defective car, is apparently explained by this news:

Naseem Akbarzada, Tesla country manager for Saudi Arabia, told reporters this week: “Today we are proud to officially launch in the kingdom, marking the start of a long-term presence in the country.”

That sounds so ominous, how a judge hands down a proud sentencing. Tesla, unwelcome around the world, has been ordered into a long term presence in desert isolation.

And then this:

Saudi economist Mohammed Al-Qahtani welcomed Tesla entry into the market, but urged the company to invest more in the country, saying “we do not want a showroom… We want to be… not just consumption.”

Isn’t that also what the Saudis said when they pushed Elon Musk to use their billions to takeover Twitter and make it more anti-semitic? They didn’t just want to consume social media, the Saudis wanted to be the the supply-chain to produce more hate speech, right?

Perhaps we see now why nobody would be buying a Tesla in the UK anymore. A money laundering system can artificially prop up Elon Musk with evil investments closer to home.

Musk confirmed that he would be striking major deals with Saudi for all of his companies….

…Musk halted the discussion to bloviate about building Boring Company tunnels that can “essentially create like a worm hole or a warp tunnel from one part of a city to another and alleviate traffic.” It is important to note that Starlink is the only thing promised by Musk in this chat that has made it past the vaporware phase.

Of course it’s all vaporware. That’s the easiest form of money laundering. If the product were real, the Saudis would have to receive something worthless to them. On the other hand, huge sprawling parking lots full of unused and unwanted Tesla Cybertrucks and Robotaxis make more sense in an empty Saudi desert than spread across America, China or Europe.

Think about Elon Musk attempting to look clever by lecturing the biggest deep drilling technology nation in the world. Do you think they care about his dream to buy a couple used drills so he can dig some shallow holes to reinvent the subway? I mean Saudis know this stuff better than anyone. Just think about the best modern ways to lay down subways for desert cities. It’s not drilling.

Elon Musk is allowed pretend to be smart and to bloviate because the Saudis (let alone Russians) just need an attention-seeking and willing idiot. When all this big fraud falls apart and Elon Musk is on the run from the law like Epstein, expect him to pop up in a fancy apartment (evil executive privilege retirement plan) in Moscow or Riyadh.

One example of the kind of “executive privilege” events that now may be linked to Epstein is Ronald Reagan’s transfer of arms to Saddam Hussein, via Saudi Arabia, to illegally avoid Congressional oversight let alone accountability to the American public.

The Iran-Contra scandal seems to have been just a tip of the iceberg when factoring that Epstein may have been a useful pawn during that time to intelligence agencies, enslaving girls and trafficking them within arms deals to dictators.

No wonder Trump and Musk have been so focused on deals with the Saudis lately. Iran-Contra seems like only yesterday to the GOP, I’m sure.

What we really are witness to right now, if history is any guide, is the scaffolding for a transfer of restricted AI technology to a sanctioned country through a series of cutouts, with proceeds funding proxy forces in a conflict zone, all justified as necessary for strategic interests despite explicit congressional prohibitions.

A 2025 celebration of victory in WWII apparently was a veteran using a Sherman tank to destroy a Tesla.

A British World War Two veteran has crushed a Tesla car with a Sherman tank on VE Day to fight the “spread of fascism by Elon Musk”.

Royal Engineer Ken Turner, 98, drove the massive tank over the expensive electric vehicle – which had ‘FASCISM’ on the number plate – leaving it a crushed mess. The now destroyed car was donated by a Tesla owner who is “appalled” by the support the company’s owner, Elon Musk, has given to the far-right in Europe.

In related news, total electric vehicle sales in the UK surged ahead in April.

…registrations of vehicles with a plug rose: plug-in hybrids (PHEV) up 34.1% and battery electric vehicles (BEV) increasing 8.1% to 24,558 units, taking more than a fifth (20.4%) of the market.

That is to say the market reported increased sales for non-fascist brands, while the AfD-promoting (present day German Nazi party) Tesla was absolutely crushed, according to Reuters.

The losses span multiple markets, with the “Swasticar” registrations plummeting across Germany, Holland, Denmark, Portugal, Sweden, and France. And while the UK previously has been seen as the last Tesla holdout, due to Musk’s aggressive English propaganda campaigns as well as wealthy Saudis and Russians laundering vehicles there, April sales figures reveal a 62 percent plummet.

This shows how Tesla’s already catastrophic Q1 sales collapse in Europe will only expand unabated in Q2, drawing comparisons to the Allied Sherman tanks that rapidly swept fascists off the battlefield in WWII.

Pundits now wonder how much longer the European theatre will remain under threat of Tesla invasion plans.

Peter Thiel’s family infamously fled Germany at the end of WWII to apartheid South Africa, where he could be raised in an ex-pat Nazi community. That’s a big part of why his Palantir company is so obviously and closely aligned with failed Nazi total surveillance objectives, as it reflects a continuation of thought.

Let me be more clear here for those unfamiliar with the Thiel doctrine behind Palantir.

• He glorifies monopolistic power and the denigration of competition, framing business in terms of domination rather than collaboration.
• He makes statements like “Only one thing can allow a business to transcend the daily brute struggle for survival: monopoly profits”, which use language reminiscent of “struggle” rhetoric (kampf) symbolic of fascist ideologies.
• He emphasizes domination by an elite few who succeed while others fail, with little concern for those who don’t “escape competition” as if rationalizing the “Arbeit macht frei” of Auschwitz
• He focuses on selfish, secretive, conspiratorial thinking, such as when he spilled ink that “The best entrepreneurs know this: every great business is built around a secret that’s hidden from the outside. A great company is a conspiracy to change the world”
• He is apparently very dismissive of democratic or inclusive systems in favor of concentrated power.

All in all, Thiel exhibits a life filled with language of “struggle,” “monopoly,” “secrets,” and “conspiracies” that intentionally invokes totalitarian concepts, framing business success as belonging only to those who achieve dominance over others.

It all apparently comes from Thiel’s unapologetic social Darwinist upbringing in fascist enclaves outside of Germany. And we have zero evidence he has ever in any meaningful way tried to stop or condemn Nazism.

We even have a case where Palantir was briefly brought into modern Germany… only to be found working with modern day Nazis to attack politicians.

Unidentified police officers in Hesse accessed the contact details of several politicians and prominent immigrants from official records and shared them with the neo-Nazi group, according to local reports.

For other German families who stayed and went through occupation after the fall of Nazism, it’s a very different story. They too became “mysteriously” wealthy after genocide yet, unlike the Thiel family efforts to simply relocate and then return as before, the details of Nazi roots were hidden by those who remained in Germany.

…siblings Stefan Quandt and Susanne Klatten own more than 40% of BMW and are worth about $38 billion [thanks to their family operating] …battery factories in Berlin, where, thousands of forced slave laborers were used, including female slave laborers from concentration camps, you learn nothing about [this] history.

A Spiegel article now highlights 80% admit wealth came from crimes against humanity, while 80% also think it must not have been their own Nazi family to blame.

Only 20 percent “strongly disagree” with the idea that the prosperity of many families is still based on crimes committed during National Socialism. Yet almost 80 percent “strongly disagree” with the notion that their own family’s prosperity can be traced to such crimes.

It seems as though there is an unspoken agreement that dealing with the Nazi period can be outsourced to the memorial sites and museums and that families themselves are absolved from doing so in all but the most drastic cases.

The whole Spiegel article is worth a read, not least of all because Spiegel is German for “mirror”.

Technology always intersects with human rights, whether the usual technologist recognizes it or not. An abolitionist network in the 1800s defied unjust laws to free enslaved people, and today technologists are drawing explicit parallels to this tradition. We’re witnessing an evolution toward a modern Digital Underground Railroad as citizens resist what they see as Trump’s systematic human rights violations.

Imagine being stopped, having rifles pointed at your head, being harassed or detained simply because a computer system tagged you as suspicious based on the color of your hat at dawn or the car you drove.

Consider the example of Quantrill’s Raiders, who were masked armed men without uniforms similar to the “enforcers” showing up in communities today. They terrorized America in the 1860s through brutal mob acts like the Lawrence Massacre. Critics rightly compare immigration enforcement raids of Trump to these historical patterns of militant violence adjacent to state-sanctioned oppression based on race.

The parallels connect past and present systems, exploited by white supremacist groups for them to operate outside judicial oversight, which leaves technologists at a crucial fork in the road that has been seen before.

I’m not even going to explain why President “America First” Wilson similarly sent federal troops in 1919 to open fire on Black farm workers in Arkansas, murdering hundreds after they organized in a Church to discuss fair wages. And that’s to say nothing of airplanes used in 1921 to firebomb Black neighborhoods in Oklahoma, while firefighters and police stood by doing nothing. Americans should know these past events well already, or at least be able to recognize the symbolism of the X within KKK and Nazi history.

While examining historical parallels and wondering where the Quantrill Raids go next, read Confederate General McCulloch complaints about the escalating civilian mistreatment by armed white supremacist mobs that expanded even under his militant command attempting to restrain them:

Civilians were accosted, homes were broken into, church steeples were shot up, and a Confederate recruiting officer, Major George N. Butts, was found shot to death on the side of a road. “They regard the life of a man less than you would that of a sheep-killing dog,” said McCulloch.

These descriptions invite reflection on modern law enforcement approaches, especially how anti-immigrant militant leaders planning systemic armed actions against American communities, may be unable to prevent their own troops devolving into total chaos, which is what the legendary patriot John Brown had warned until he was hanged for taking a stand against the violence.

Remember the symbolism of the X? Historical context gives perspective to the recent action against GlobalX Air, where technologists identifying with Anonymous accessed flight manifests and records of an ICE charter airline.

Anonymous said their “data liberation” operation targeted specific flights that were central to ongoing litigation, including deportation flights that allegedly were rushed to depart. Why were flights in a rush? The Trump regime saw this as their way to “hack” the courts, exploit a loophole to undermine lawyers who were in process of defending national security.

A digital version of the famous General Tubman thus justified entry into the GlobalX systems as simply “enforcing a judge’s order,” positioning the patriotic act as upholding American law rather than violating it. “Anonymous has decided to enforce the Judge’s order since you and your sycophant staff ignore lawful orders that go against your fascist plans,” read the message on GlobalX’s updated website.

A U.S. judge had indeed ordered a report of flight manifests and records. And suddenly the Trump regime decided it was no longer able to be in a rush. The Anonymous disclosure, therefore serving that judge in a more timely fashion, provides records of GlobalX from January through May. It delivers clear evidence of systematic removal of many innocent people from American soil; indiscriminate Quantrill-like raids by plain-clothed masked militants targeting non-white communities for racist incarceration or death.

Making America Grotesque Again

The immigration enforcement under the current administration has been characterized by critics as operating with questionable legal authority, particularly when deportations proceed despite pending legal challenges. This creates a complex ethical terrain where some view digital intervention to serve the law as a necessary response to what they perceive as systematic circumvention of legal processes.

We must ask: Who here really operates outside the law?

The GlobalX Air files accessed do indeed document flights central to a Supreme Court case involving Venezuelan asylum seekers who were reportedly removed from the country in direct and intentional opposition to the law. The timing of such a “hack” by the Trump regime brings profound questions about their relationship to enforcement actions designed to exploit vulnerabilities in judicial oversight.

Conducting a Digital Freedom Railroad

In comparison, an emerging pattern of digital resistance to Trump draws directly from American traditions of civil action to enhance law and order and restore moral foundations. Those who engage in these actions rightfully invoke historical figures like General Tubman because they fit within a lineage of Americans who aligned defense of law and order in America to its underlying documented principles (e.g. Constitution).

The digital actions countering unlawful deportations are information exposure rather than system interruption, unlike the Trump regime’s aggressive and destructive actions. Like whistleblowers, they direct information to sunlight, creating accountability channels outside compromised structures.

Constitutional Disregard is a Trump Family Tradition

When executive actions appear to intentionally and cruelly “hack” judicial review, fundamental constitutional questions emerge. The intervention in GlobalX Air systems to deliver justice presents a complex case study in the tensions between executive enforcement power, judicial authority, and citizen intervention.

Throughout American history, from abolitionism to civil rights movements, significant moral progress has often begun with acts of civil action to serve the greater meaning of law and order. Today’s digital actions represent the latest chapter in this ongoing negotiation between law, justice, and resistance.

As we evaluate these events, we confront profound questions about democratic processes: When formal systems of checks and balances are under attack by white supremacist groups aiming to imbalance power for selfish gains, what responsibilities do citizens have? At what point does resistance to attacks on America become not just justified but necessary to restore the balance of power and prevent tyranny?

What Would LaGuardia Do?

Speaking of airlines and airports, let’s take a moment to think about LaGuardia, mayor of New York during the rise of fascism in Europe. He was well-known as a warrior of direct and uncompromising stance against authoritarianism. He understood that certain moments in history require clear moral language rather than cautious equivocation. In 1937, for example, he directly called out fascism by name and denounced dictators like Hitler and Mussolini when many American politicians were still hesitant to do so. This wasn’t just a foreign concern, but more importantly a domestic one where America First campaigns were correctly ruled an act of sedition.

We’re at a similar inflection point regarding immigration enforcement and civil liberties. When LaGuardia saw the early signs of authoritarianism, he recognized the urgent need to speak plainly about the threats he perceived, rather than softening his language out of political convenience.

Acts of resistance against extrajudicial deportations are within this tradition of urgent moral action. The Underground Railroad and abolitionists, from John Brown to General Tubman, inform Americans how direct action can effect change where formal systems have been compromised and redirected towards harm of vulnerable populations.
