SpaceX Explodes as FAA & Stock Market Take a Nosedive

What They All Have in Common - Trump Agenda and Elon Musk

Mar 14, 2025

Stock Market and SpaceX Crash Come Together

As another SpaceX rocket explodes, and more air traffic is disturbed - if you are Trump and Musk, what do you do? The answer appears to be cut more air traffic controllers. After all, the less people watching what’s going on with falling debris and near misses the better. Right?

Trump and his henchman Musk do more than cutting more air traffic controllers - they are working to push Verizon out of its contract with the FAA, although they publicly deny it. It comes at a time when Verizon and the American people spent millions on modernizing air traffic equipment. I don’t know about you, but I’ll take Verizon any day over the guy with exploding rockets - the same guy who wants to link his satellites to air traffic control and even your brain. Now with all that automation, just like his cars, What could go wrong?

Added to the firings, FAA officials with oversight over Musk’s operations, they simply got fired because they got in his way. And we can’t forget Musk firings of key nuclear personnel at a time when the world is unstable, firing IRS workers just when taxes are coming due, and consumer protections just in time to upset the timeline for processing major complaints against Musk, his defective cars, and his business taking advantage of people.

Even worse, it anything can be, the firing of American generals and siding with Putin against Ukraine. Trump’s complaints about Europe and NATO (the North American Treaty Organization) are simply a ruse and an excuse, to allow Trump to back out of US Commitments and give Russia the advantage.

The NATO Treaty was created in 1949 by the United States, Canada, and several Western European nations to provide collective security against the Soviet Union.

Trump’s Flip-Flopping: Is It the Work of a Stable Genius’ or is it a Devious Plan…?

Trump is flip flopping all over the place on just about everything from tariffs to methods to round-up and deport immigrants. Shipping them to Guantanamo and then shipping them back to the US. That trajectory is as insane as it is for the stock market. Just ask the Wall Street Journal as they track the plummeting markets. Stocks taking nosedives because of trade wars with allies and Trump’s budget criticizing North American trade is insane, as he was the one who previously negotiated it.

America, are we really surprised that he’s taking axes to social programs that he campaigned on leaving intact? Can anyone really believe he didn’t know “anything” about Project 2025, as he claimed before the election? After all, Trump nominated cabinet members who were integral to its creation. Not to mention a VP pick who wrote the foreword of a the book for the Project 2025 creator…

These conmen continue to do dastardly deeds, then tell you what you are seeing isn’t true. Then they surround themselves with sycophants who vouch for the lies, and then blame everything on past presidents they despise.

The Psychopathology of a War Criminal

But now the ramifications of Trump’s psychopathologies are coming together - incessant lies, grave distortions of fact, and need for retribution, are reverberating around the world. Trump is putting Ukraine in grave danger by not sharing precious intel, then siding with Putin and feigning the mantle of “intermediary” while pushing conditional assistance: whether or not Ukraine agrees to have its mineral rights exploited. To make matters worse, Trump’s closing air bases in Greece - is obviously another capitulation to Putin, so the US can’t efficiently or effectively “defend” Ukraine or NATO members - tacitly giving the “green light” once again to Vladimir Putin.

Imitation is the Best Form of Flattery…

But this debacle with governmental firings and cutting off Ukraine is the work of a man who wants to emulate Putin - a man ensconced in hate, and a profound need for self-reverence and revenge.

As for Musk, the American taxpayers have unwittingly enriched another tyrannical despot, made by bestowing multiple billion dollar contracts on him and his Rockets, Satellites and AI. Ironically this “unelected” shell of a human, seems to enjoy depriving the worker/taxpayer of their jobs, healthcare, livelihoods, and educations - the very government workers who paid taxes that went to his government contracts, and made him exceedingly rich. But sociopaths don’t care about others, they have no empathy, no philanthropic needs - their only interests lie with what they can get and manipulate, and keep for themselves. Having the unfortunate “privilege” of living with such a sociopath - I know it all too well.

Thankfully some federal judge’s have just weighed in. One in Oregon and another in Maryland. Both of them demanding that fired workers could not be fired in that manner that took place. Let’s hope these workers who had been indiscriminately fired, will be able to go back and pick up where they left off.

But these two billionaires have no shame to dismember critical social programs that were well poised to maintain people’s status of living. Programs like Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, Veterans benefits are lifelines for many Americans - people who actually paid and contributed to the system.

A New Fort Knox

It is clear that Trump and Musk want to dismantle the FDIC - the government backed security that safeguards all depositors’ money. He’s doing this no doubt, so Trump and Musk’s crypto will replace our legal tender.

Trump’s Project 2025 crew have written an executive order that he signed - claiming Cryptocurrency is now part of the Federal “Reserves” - even though the right to coin money is exclusively the province of Congress.

According to the United States Constitution: Article I, Section 8, Clause 5. Congress's Coinage Power, states:

[The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures; . . .

So What is the Punishment for a President Who Breaks Laws & Commits Treason?

The Constitution defines treason in Article III, Section 3, Clause 1 is accomplished by:

Levying war against the United States
Giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States
Adhering to the enemies of the United States

To be convicted of treason, the government must prove that the accused:

Owed allegiance to the United States
Adhered to the enemies of the United States
Gave aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States

The government must also prove that the accused committed one of these acts with the testimony of two witnesses or a confession in open court (This means the Senate holding court).

The Problem: Fat chance of this happening with Trump’s sycophant and January 6 vocal denier, Pam Bondi - Trump’s new Attorney General at the helm.

The punishment for treason includes: Death, Imprisonment for at least five years, A fine of at least $10,000, and Being unable to hold any office under the United States.

Articles of Impeachment - Is the Third Time a Charm?

As we learned in Trump’s first term, impeachment starts by articles filed in the House of Representatives needing only a majority vote. Once approved by the House, the articles then go to the Senate. The Senate will hear the testimony and must “impartially” weigh the evidence - with this body requiring a 2/3 majority vote to convict.

Purely the reason that Trump is rolling roughshod over people and institutions, is because no one has ever stopped him in his tracks. Purely party politics is at play when the president’s own party sides with someone who is so disdainfully egregious. I have no doubt the Senate would again fail to convict.

The question then becomes: What will be the deterrent be for Punishment for Treason that will lend itself to a different outcome when there are new articles of impeachment?

The early judicial interpretation of the Treason Clause was influenced by the partisan struggles of the early 19th century. But could a special governmental tribunal be called in by the judiciary, in the event that everything else fails?

The Party Line Excuse

Because presidents can actually commit treason, and those in their party can be cajoled, coerced, and somehow influenced to become sycophants enabling him to ravage the nation and stay in power - there needs to be additional protections. The founders should have recognized this could be done, and put more safeguards in place. After all founders Washington and Hamilton did not like the party system and were afraid of the ravages it could do to the nation. As I have stated in previous articles, it would have been beneficial had these founders created at least two additional branches of government as checks and balances on the rest. One for governmental agencies and a separate one for the president. With a presidency as its own entity, it would need to be answerable to all of the branches, as well as the people.

Alexander Hamilton, and especially George Washington, distrusted the idea of an opposition party, as shown in George Washington's Farewell Address of 1796. They thought opposition parties would only weaken the nation. By contrast Jefferson was the main force behind the creation and continuity of an opposition party.
