Go to noblegoldinvestments.com Is Elon Musk and Doge about to unwind the biggest fraud in American history? Over the weekend and into last night, Elon Musk on Twitter has been highlighting an unusual thing about the data of the Social Security Administration. There are millions and millions of numbers that are linked to people that are over 110 years old, literally. You could look at the chart. Let's put the chart up on screen. There's 3.6 million numbers for people aged 110 to 119. There are 3.5 million for people aged 140 to 149. There's almost 1.5 million for people ages over 150. There it is right there. Now, let's just take a pause. For those of us that have been in the fight for fiscal sanity for well over 13 years, we've known this, we've talked about it, we've clamored, and politicians just kind of sit down and shut up. Who cares? This has all been looked into. So the conventional D.C. wisdom is, okay, this is normal. It's just paperwork. They were not sending payments to people that shouldn't be getting them. However, after so many of our eyes were opened during COVID do we trust the government to say that they've looked into this thoroughly after the government has lied to us repeatedly about the open border, lied to us repeatedly about the safe and effective vaccine. The government has not earned our trust. The last decade, the last 20 years, last 30 years, they lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. So you look at this chart. 3.6 million numbers for people ages 110 to 119. Now, mind you, this is not about cutting Social Security for current beneficiaries or for those of you that are retirees. This is about sending money to what we call phantom Social Security numbers. Now, some people have suggested this could be millions of people who are fraudulently drawing Social Security benefits on behalf of people who died half a century ago. It's probably a bit more complex than that, however. Is it a black hole? Is this a glitch in the financial accounting matrix of the federal government? The Social Security Administration has an inspector general, and they have been aware of the issue. Again, excuse me while I dismiss your awareness. I'm on Team Elon here. I don't want to hear your excuses. Oh, the numbers are here. But I'm going to build out what their excuses are, and we'll see whether or not this might be the most glaring smoking gun of financial waste in the history of the U.S. government. The Social Security administrator has an inspector general, and they say they've been aware of this. They investigated it in both 2015 and 2023. What they basically said they found was this. Most of these expired numbers are from before there were electronic databases for tracking deaths. There are a lot of people, and as a result, who simply don't have a death date logged. Now, the Social Security Administration says they have methods in place to avoid paying fraudulent benefits to these old numbers, but they're also too lazy to clean up their data. They say it's not worth it because it would cost five to $10 million. I'm sorry, $10 million? That's a rounding error. We send hundreds of millions of dollars of missiles to Ukraine and $10 million they won't clean up. A rounding error. You have a $6 trillion budget and you won't spend 10 million to clean up what is obviously a glaring problem with the Social Security Administration. It seems a little suspicious. The inspector general sounded the alarm in 2023. This is Biden's inspector general. They pointed out there's all kinds of ways that expired Social Security numbers can be used in fraud. For example, it can help illegal immigrants to blend in. We know this is happening. We know that there are millions of illegals that steal Social Security numbers. This we know of. How many and who they are will probably be discovered by Elon via Doge. And that's kind of where the Elon force and the Tom Homan force are going to converge. They take expired Social Security numbers and they use them to work illegally. People also open fraudulent bank accounts using expired Social Security numbers. Some people could even use them to take fake IDs and perhaps even vote fraudulently. And some people, which is illegal, they don't report the death of a loved one like a mother or a father or grandmother. And so they just keep on getting Social Security checks, cashing them in the name of the deceased and then taking the money. Now, according to Stephen Miller, who's a very smart and thoughtful person, these are fraud rings operating abroad using a treasure trove of expired Social Security numbers. If this is even 1% true, this is one of the greatest scandals in the history of the American budget glaring in front of us. And they say it would only spend $10 million to fix. For the record, that's less than 1/1000 of the budget of USAID. Here is Stephen Miller, a serious thinker and a real operator, claiming this is a foreign ring using US taxpayer dollars to reverse launder money from you to, we don't know where, black holes of cartels and Iranian leaders, Chinese Communist Party outposts. Is this some sort of a government spending program via money laundering play cut 72.
