On Thursday, June 12, one week after Elon Musk bitterly split with President Trump on social media, The Gateway Pundit gained an exclusive interview with War Room Technology Editor, Joe Allen.

Allen, a world-leading technological philosopher, and the author of the bestselling 2023 book, Dark Aeon: Transhumanism and the War Against Humanity, spoke out strongly against Elon Musk’s transhumanist, technological ambitions, referring to Musk’s dismissal from the White House as a major victory for MAGA.

“The biggest threat that Musk posed was ideological. His influence through the Trump administration, in essence, normalized transhumanism – even if the word was never uttered,” Joe Allen told The Gateway Pundit exclusively. 

“We were seemingly heading toward an era of Trumpian transhumanism – but the split between Musk and Trump now shows a real crack in the edifice that could easily, one day, become an inescapable technodrome.”

“And this was a very human split, which shows us that all these dreams of some unified, technological apparatus, controlling everyone and everything, remains threatened, internally, by human disagreement and ambition – and, in Musk’s case, human malice.”

“So, that is why I think the Trump-Musk split is good. On a psychological level, it puts some distance between the American public and a more cartoonish, comic book hero image of Musk.”

“And, it also shows that the concept of some unified cabal taking over everything, technologically, may not be the proper way to conceive of the future.”

“Maybe the proper way to conceive of the threat of technological control is not one system of technological control, but rather, many systems. With many systems, there leaves room for dissonance. And with dissonance, there remains the possibility of challenging power, and maintaining freedom,” Allen said. 

Notably, Allen classified Musk as being somewhat of a political non-entity.

“Politically speaking, I don’t think the split between Musk and Trump is all that significant. Other than giving money, taking data inappropriately, and injecting artificial intelligence, here and there, Musk was never really a significant political figure. He was an ideological figure,” Allen said.

The Gateway Pundit asked Allen to envision an alternative reality wherein Musk’s government services had been retained by the White House for four more years.

“Musk had basically injected himself into American politics in a way that would allow his technological vision of the future to be realized. If you look at his portfolio, you can see the realization of his middle-of-the-road, transhumanist future,” Allen said. 

“So, for Musk, it’s not that machines take over everything, and humans stay human, but that a hybridized form emerges from the next few decades, or the next century.”

“X AI is explicitly trying to create an artificial general intelligence – and then, possibly a superintelligence – that is maximally truth-seeking, which would mean that it would become ‘the ultimate source of truth.’”

“Neuralink is intended to give human beings some degree of relevance in the future of AI by linking human brains to AI, and allowing humans to function in this AI-dominated landscape as a human-AI symbiote – a hybrid; a cyborg.”

“Optimus is being built in order to create hordes of robot-slaves. Musk anticipates that, in the coming decades, the ratio of human to humanoid-robot will be about three robots to every one human – so, billions of robot-immigrants would cross the border from platonic possibility, into reality.”

“And then you have the bugman-mobiles: the fully autonomous Tesla leaves you basically at the mercy of robots to go anywhere, in physical form – the same way that Neuralink would keep you walled in with AI.”

“And, even though Musk hasn’t really talked about it in recent years, he has always maintained that gene therapies like MRNA, and possibly DNA gene therapies, will exist in the future. And, it’s pretty clear that his harem is squirting out babies according to explicitly eugenic protocols. So, that is a Musk future,” Allen said.

Allen asserted, in no uncertain terms, that Americans will be highly fortunate, so long as Musk’s transhumanist, technological ambitions remain relatively disentangled from the US government agenda – unless Musk’s rival tech titans gain power.

“It should be noted that there are many other tech companies that are also partnering with the US government. So, this is a huge constellation. If you knock Musk out, you still have all these other elements in play,” Allen said.

“I think that the explanation that Musk was upset about electric vehicle funding cuts is probably not accurate, and I think that his outrage at the “Big, Beautiful Bill” seems disingenuous. With his vast resources, he couldn’t have had someone comb that bill over? That makes no sense.”

“It’s possible that there’s some personal vendetta. But I think his outburst shows that – unless there is some carefully calculated showmanship – Musk is, like most of us, an impetuous animal.”

“Humans are very impetuous animals. And Musk, for all his transhumanist ambitions, is only human.”

“In general, I think that Musk saw Trump, and therefore MAGA America, as a vehicle for his ambitions. And when an obstacle was presented – as an impetuous animal – he freaked out,” Allen said. 

Allen drew a stark contrast between Musk’s repeated attempts to bait President Trump with insults during his infamous social media freakout, and President Trump’s extreme self-control that he exercised in response.

“I think if Trump can exhibit that level of self-control on most things going forward, we will indeed make America great again,” Allen said.

Finally, The Gateway Pundit asked Allen to share his outlook regarding humanity’s technological future.  

“It may well be true that technological progress towards a transhuman, or even post-human future, for some, is inevitable. But, it is absolutely not inevitable that you march in lockstep along with them,” Allen said.

“This future, or these futures, are going to come about in very messy, piecemeal ways, as we saw with Musk and DOGE.”

“And you have to constantly guard yourself – your mind, your family, your community, your culture – against this insane quest to create eugenically-bred cyborgs in space, or to create a vast digital panopticon, which watches your every move, and manipulates your every action, or, in their highest dream, to create Gods from Silicon – to manifest sand-Gods.”

“All of this is happening now. All of this seems to be headed toward a much greater crisis in the probably near-future. But, you do not have to submit to it.”

“The only escape will be one of constant defiance, and constant resistance.”

“We have faced much worse, as a species. Enough of us are going to make it,” Allen said.

Project Veritas on Tuesday released undercover video exposing transgender activists in Connecticut, including a pastor, secretly helping children ‘transition.’

Tony Ferraiolo, Director of Youth and Family Program at Healthcare Advocates International and Life Coach was caught on undercover video secretly steering children toward gender transition:

• “Do you have a binder? Do you bind your chest? ‘Cause we give away free binders. They’re supposed to be for 18 plus because legally that’s what we have to do. But we can always give one to Reverend Miller and see what he does with it. Whatever he does with it is none of my business. You know what I’m saying?”
• “I’m here now in your life to protect you and to help you move forward.”
• “Between me and you, and this is not being recorded… I can’t know that they [the parents] don’t know….get what I’m saying wink wink, nod, nod? I have helped thousands of kids.”
• “He needs to move forward with this transition.”

Reverend Aaron Miller, Miller Metropolitan Community Church of Hartford, Connecticut:

• “Can you have Justin measure the circumference around his body – his chest at the nipples? Then I can get the [breast] binder from Tony and we can meet.”
• “I don’t know if he’s developing yet… the timing of this is really, really important.”
• When you become who you are, really who you are authentically, there is a joy that I can’t describe to you.”

Via Project Veritas:

Project Veritas today releases explosive undercover footage exposing a network of transgender activists in Connecticut led by Reverend Aaron Miller, senior pastor of Miller Metropolitan Community Church, and Tony Ferraiolo, Director of Youth and Family Program at Healthcare Advocates International. The investigation, sparked by a mother’s tip after her daughter’s troubling interaction with Miller, uncovers secret support groups, covert distribution of breast binders, and discussions about puberty blockers and top surgery for a 12-year-old female child, “Justin,” who seeks to transition to a boy against parental wishes.

Over several months, a Project Veritas journalist and an actor posing as a 12-year-old experiencing gender dysphoria engaged in virtual and in-person meetings with Miller and Ferraiolo to probe how far these transgender activists would go to guide minors toward gender transitions without parental knowledge or consent.

Exclusive video footage shows Miller and Ferraiolo inviting “Justin,” a 12-year-old female, to secret youth groups led by Ferraiolo in Middletown and New Haven, Connecticut, despite knowing her parents oppose the transition. Miller assures secrecy, stating, “…they’ll never know.”

Ferraiolo, a biological woman who transitioned to male in 2005 and claims on his website to have trained and life-coached 75,000 people, reveals the support groups’ hidden locations, saying, “Between me and you, and this is not being recorded… I can’t know that they [the parents] don’t know… get what I’m saying wink wink, nod, nod?” He outlines a plan to bypass parents: “Just bring him, and if they ask where you’re taking him, ‘I’m taking him to the park, I’m taking him wherever…’”

Ferraiolo also discusses medical interventions with the child, asking, “The first thing you would want are blockers, right? Puberty blockers. … How about top surgery? Have you thought about top surgery?” and insists to our journalist, “He [Justin] needs to move forward with this [gender] transition.”

In the video Ferraiolo offers a breast binder to “Justin,” stating, “Do you have a binder? Do you bind your chest? ‘Cause we give away free binders. They’re supposed to be for 18+ because legally that’s what we have to do. But we can always give one to Reverend Miller and see what he does with it. Whatever he does with it is none of my business. You know what I’m saying?”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has intensified his crusade to abolish property taxes, vowing to “end the rent” that homeowners pay to local governments.

DeSantis didn’t hold back Tuesday morning in a fiery press conference that started as a bill signing and turned into a full-blown indictment of the nation’s broken tax system.

Standing before a crowd of beachgoers and Florida homeowners, DeSantis announced the signing of Senate Bill 1622, repealing a provision related to the “customary use” doctrine that had caused confusion over beach access rights.

But what stole the spotlight wasn’t the bill—it was the Governor’s bold attack on property taxes and what he called “an unjust system built on punishing people for owning property.”

DeSantis hinted at a 2026 ballot initiative that would allow Floridians to vote on eliminating or slashing property taxes.

Here’s the corrected version with proper punctuation:

DeSantis:
The folks here really deserve it. I look around at people here, and every time I run into someone, it’s like, “Oh, yeah, I’m a Florida resident now.”

“When did you buy? Where are you at?”

They’ll be like, “Oh, I’m in Santa Rosa Beach.”

“When did you buy the property?”

“Oh, I bought it in 2018.”

I’m like, “You’ve made a lot of money off that property since then,” because the values have gone up. While that’s good—because people that own it have more equity and more wealth—the reality is, if they’re going to come tell you your house is worth twice as much as what you purchased it for and you’ve got to pay higher taxes as a result, that’s a negative of having rising property values. And it’s an unrealized gain.

You sell your house? It’s one thing on a transaction for someone to say, “Okay, you’re taxed,” like a sales tax. But to say you’re just enjoying property and, all of a sudden, the value rises—so you have to pony up?

We don’t really do that in anything else. I mean, you buy a stock, you hold it, and then you’re taxed when you sell it. The stock doubles—they don’t just tax you as you hold it.

So, unrealized gains is not the way you want to run a tax system. But our property tax system basically relies on these unrealized gains.

So, we’re going to work hard to provide relief. But ultimately, we can’t, as elected leaders, deliver the relief without the voters approving it at the ballot box.

Just get ready—you’re going to have an opportunity to do that. I’m sure it’s going to be very favorably received in Walton County—and probably everywhere else in this part of the state.

Trump’s DOJ hit back hard after a Biden judge defied the US Supreme Court and said his order barring the deportation of illegal aliens to South Sudan remains in effect.

US District Judge Brian Murphy on Monday evening defied the US Supreme Court and said the 8 criminal illegals currently stuck in Djibouti have to stay put.

In a 6-3 decision, the US Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump Administration to resume deporting illegal aliens to ‘third-party’ countries.

The Supreme Court granted the Trump Administration’s emergency application and paused Judge Brian Murphy’s order blocking the third-country removals.

Liberal Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissented.

In her dissent, Sotomayor said, “Rather than allowing our lower court colleagues to manage this high-stakes litigation with the care and attention it plainly requires, this Court now intervenes to grant the Government emergency relief from an order it has repeatedly defied. I cannot join so gross an abuse of the Court’s equitable discretion.”

On Monday evening, Judge Murphy ignored the US Supreme Court and said his previous order remains in effect.

“The Court’s May 21, 2025 Order on Remedy remains in full force and effect, notwithstanding today’s stay of the Preliminary Injunction,” Murphy said.

On Tuesday morning Solicitor General John Sauer asked the Supreme Court to clarify its decision.

“The district court’s ruling of last night is a lawless act of defiance that, once again, disrupts sensitive diplomatic relations and slams the brakes on the Executive’s lawful efforts to effectuate third-country removals. For over two months now, the Executive has labored under an injunction that this Court yesterday deemed unenforceable. This Court should immediately make clear that the district court’s enforcement order has no effect, and put a swift end to the ongoing irreparable harm to the Executive Branch and its agents, who remain under baseless threat of contempt as they are forced to house dangerous criminal aliens at a military base in the Horn of Africa that now lies on the borders of a regional conflict,” John Sauer wrote.

NEW: The Trump administration asks the Supreme Court to clarify is unexplained ruling that allows the government to send noncitizens to countries where they have no prior ties (third-country removals) without notice or a chance to challenge the decision. https://t.co/o0OTDebnzf pic.twitter.com/QqOCCBTASE

Commentary

An epic clash of MAGA versus waning Globalism is about to take place as Air Force One flies to The Hague in the Netherlands for the annual NATO Summit. Ambassador Matthew Whitaker, the U.S. Permanent Representative to NATO (i.e. the U.S. Ambassador to NATO), gave comments at a State Department briefing yesterday that set the stage before President Trump arrives:

“Starting tomorrow, NATO leaders from all 32 Allies will gather in The Hague for a summit that marks a major milestone for our Alliance. The summit will be historic. This summit is really about NATO’s credibility, and we are urging all of our Allies to step up to the plate and pay their fair share for transatlantic security.

Thanks to the bold leadership of President Donald J. Trump, NATO is on track to achieve a historic commitment – each Ally pledging to spend at least 5 percent of their GDP on defense. This commitment is more than just a number; it represents a renewal of NATO’s relevance, a rebalancing of the burden for our collective defense, and a clear signal that the Alliance stands united against today’s security challenges, from Russian aggression to emerging threats in cyber and space.

The 5 percent commitment is the single most important step NATO can take to ensure it remains strong and ready for the future. But this commitment is just the beginning. NATO is not only about defense; it is a powerful engine for prosperity and innovation. Our shared investments help sustain and grow industries that support good-paying jobs, foster technological advancement, and build resilient supply chains across the Atlantic.”

Midnight Hammer dazes the NATO Lilliputians

With the decisive strike at Iran to destroy the three Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, the NATO Nations were reminded that American leadership was back. The European nations that in times past projected their influence around the world have been reduced to wallowing in their own fecklessness while gazing at the American MAGA Colossus. Midnight Hammer also showed the European junior varsity players the Trump Doctrine of generating, projecting, and applying force when a seminal threat presents itself. In 2020, the former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Leader, who was Iran’s most powerful military commander, General Qasem Soleimani, found this out at Baghdad airport by a surgical U.S. Operation. In addition to the IRGC, the 62-year-old oversaw Iranian military operations in the Middle East as head of Iran’s elite Quds Force. President Trump said that Soleimani was “directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of millions of people”.

The NATO nations have allowed their militaries to atrophy from Cold War highs and have little ability to generate and project force even within their own countries. There have been exceptions such as Poland and tiny Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, all of which have been punching well above their weight. The United Kingdom’s military has vanished. The Royal Air Force cannot even protect its own fence line. Activists easily gained access to the tarmac at RAF Brize Norton which holds the few transports and tankers remaining in the RAF and gave the RAF a virtual wedgie by spray painting several large aircraft.

5% is the new 2% or get lost

NATO will likely receive the same epic beat down the World Economic Forum received by President Trump (with a supporting pummeling from President Milei of Argentina). The outgoing NATO Secretary Jens Stoltenberg used new math to fictitiously show that 22 of the 32 nations were at 2% of GDP for defense spend at the previous NATO Summit in Washington D.C. in 2024. Amazing since in the spring of 2024 only 12 of the 32 nations were at 2% or higher. This time, the new Secretary Mark Rutte will be under terrific pressure to deliver real numbers from all 32 NATO nations. Spain has already asked for and received an exception to the 5% goal which has already received fire from President Trump who said Spain has “always paid very little” and “should pay the same as everyone else”. Trump also zeroed in on Canada as one of the worst offenders of defense under-spend.

Ambassador Whittaker gave further definition to the 5% to help tamp down on the creative accounting, pioneered by Stoltenberg,

“this 5 percent does have two components. It has a 3.5 percent component that is hardcore defense – tanks, airplanes, battleships – but the – then there’s also 1.5 of defense-related spending. And it’s – again, as I mentioned on previous hub calls, this is not a grab bag that everybody can just throw additional spending into, but it’s crucial things like infrastructure that enables military mobility…

Additionally, the 1.5 percent of the overall 5 percent enables Allies to face the realities of a ever-evolving and changing security environment. For example, as we see more challenges in the cyber domain and hybrid threats, increased spending on resilience and cybersecurity will be crucial. Because as I mentioned I think on the last hub call, the first shot of the next war will be a cyber attack, or an attack on critical infrastructure. It won’t be a tank rolling across someone’s border on the – of NATO.”

Labor, strain, and sweat now or pay later

Many of the NATO nations had built substantial military capacity to contribute to a mighty deterrent force during Cold War days. Unfortunately, social welfare spending became the priority for these nations after the Cold War. They succumbed to Globalist ideals and threw open their borders while expecting America to provide for their defense.

Many of the NATO nations see Russia as a mortal threat with a possible assault across the Suwalki Gap to create a land bridge to Kaliningrad which would seize territory from Poland and Lithuania. Chinese Paratroopers are already pre-positioned in Belarus to help. If the NATO countries are concerned and want to deter conflict, they need to pay up now.

All viewpoints are personal and do not reflect the viewpoints of any organization.
