Elon Musk just raided America's doomsday seed vault.
Yes, you read that right. The vault meant to protect humanity’s last defense against agricultural collapse, stripped and sabotaged.
This isn't hyperbole. The seed bunker held our future. Our protection from famine, disease, climate disasters, destroyed by reckless arrogance.
Elon Musk fired critical scientists, placing centuries of agricultural heritage at immediate risk.
America relied on those seeds. America relied on those scientists. America relied on that bunker.
62,000 unique wheat strains, 600,000 genetic lines, our lifeline in a crisis, now endangered.
Without regular care, these seeds die. Without these seeds, we lose our ability to respond to threats.
Without that ability, we lose food security itself.
This is a direct assault on humanity's survival.
Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) treated our collective security as disposable, gambling with millions of lives. Farmers, families, and children. Everyone is harmed.
If you're thinking someone else will handle this, you're wrong. If you're assuming private industry will step in, you're wrong.
If you're comfortable waiting to act, you're complicit.
Apathy won't fix this, waiting won't reverse it.
You must immediately demand:
- Full reinstatement of the fired scientists.
- Secured federal funding protecting the seed vault permanently.
- Legislative safeguards ensuring this can never happen again.
Call your representatives. Share this message. Demand accountability from Musk, DOGE, and our government.
Act now, because your future depends on it. Your children's survival, planet's stability, and the nation's integrity are at stake.
It is urgent, necessary, and morally essential.
Stand up, speak out, and fight for our shared future.
We think the US is falling apart because of Trump's reelection. But Trump is just a symptom of a bigger problem:
The US is falling apart as a result of the US allowing an insane wealth distribution, where the rich pay no taxes, because their companies are offshored and now have revenues larger than countries.
This has allowed the malignant to buy both media and social media, which has allowed them to hack democracy by polluting the minds of the uneducated, which THEN has gotten Trump elected.

“The looming crisis in the US is beginning to remind people in Europe of the 1930s, when the UK and the US began to realise that Jewish scientists needed to be rescued from the Nazis. About 2,000 scientists and academics fled the fascist countries between 1933 and 1941, fearing for themselves or Jewish family members.”

Video of drag car from Tinkerers meeting
Torbay Tinkerers
Another good meeting today, we had an update on the Drag Car that Helen is working on, this now works better, sub 2 seconds for the track, however it seems to spin after slowing down.
But great progress.
There is a write up on my blog

Trump is upending everything. The world’s leaders must tell the truth about what that means
Tariffs, fascism, and the required response https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/03/28/tariffs-fascism-and-the-required-response/ There is only one response to thugs that works - and that is to stand up to them. So far, Labour is pussyfooting with Trump, pretending that he is a normal US President and not a fascist intent on economic warfare. They have to change tack, or the price that will be paid will be considerable.
ESA's legendary Gaia mission has reached the very end. On March 27, the control team switched off the spacecraft's subsystems and sent it into a "retirement orbit" around the Sun. They went through its subsystems, one by one, overwriting code and disabling them, so it can't accidentally reactivate. Although the spacecraft is no longer operational, the data is still being processed, with Data Release 4 planned for 2026, and the final data release coming in 2030.

The racist conservative newfoundlanders are attacking truth, indigenous people, and school children all in one stealthy attack. The same is happening in fascist-conservative Ab and fascist-conservative Sk.
We should really get off our asses and stop their attacks, and sue the conman responsible for bringing this deviant propaganda into schools and all costs.
Keep it up!
"I would go so far as to say the Tesla takedown protests have been one of the most consequential protest movements in the shortest amount of time ever,” Last said during a Bulwark podcast that aired this week. “They helped to obliterate one-third of Elon Musk’s net worth, in like 100 days. And when you attack his money stack, you attack his power.”
Horrible earthquake in Myanmar, shallow magnitude 7.7 close to the second largest city of Myanmar, Mandalay. The USGS is estimating more than 4 million people were exposed to severe Modified Mercalli Intensity VII or violent intensity IX. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000pn9s/pager
Number of fatalities very likely more than 10,000 people.
