Panic as Party Ends for Corrupt Swamp Rats

The continuing DOGE revelations have reduced the Party of Government to panic. Flustered Democrats have lacked even enough composure to pretend to be opposed to waste, fraud, and abuse. Instead, they have hysterically attacked and even threatened Elon Musk for bringing the scandal to public attention.

Swamp rats look guilty enough in front of cameras. Imagine what is going on behind the scenes. DC area search trends offer a clue:

Earlier this week, internet search trends for “Criminal Defense Lawyer” and “RICO Laws” went viral on X, fueling speculation that Washington’s political elites were in panic mode. The searches coincided with DOGE’s efforts to neuter USAID’s funding of NGOs that propped up a shadow government, as well as begin cutting tens of thousands of workers from various federal agencies.

Search trends have become even more suggestive:

IBAN = International Bank Account Number, a standardized number used by financial institutions to identify individual bank accounts when processing international payments. Bureaucrats are getting our money out of the country while they can.

Other soaring search terms include “wipe” and “erase” — presumably in reference to eradicating evidence of what they have been doing with our money. In support of this assumption, the more explicit terms “wipe hard drive” and “BleachBit” have skyrocketed.

At least lawyers will make out well, as they always do. DC searches for “lawyer” are up 400%.

Another advantage of shining light upon the cockroaches comprising the federal establishment is that as they scatter for crevices, there will be great real estate deals in some of the USA’s wealthiest counties.

Hillary Clinton says she lost 2016 race to Trump because women voters abandoned her for not being 'perfect' - and says if Trump wins again US will never have another election

Clinton has blamed dozens of people, groups and organizations for her loss

 In a new book, she says women abandoned her after Comey's investigation 

She also claims America will no longer have elections if Trump wins again

Hillary Clinton blamed her 2016 election loss on women voters abandoning her for not being 'perfect' and warned the 2024 election may be America's last if Donald Trump wins.

Clinton lost the 2016 contest to Trump and has given multiple interviews since laying responsibility for her defeat on various people, organizations, bodies and concepts.

This weekend, an interview she gave for a new book, The Fall of Roe: The Rise of a New America, reveals that she's added female voters to that long list.  

She says in the book that women were the ones who refused to push her over the line because she wasn't 'perfect' after then-FBI Director James Comey re-opened an investigation into her days before the election.

'Once he did that to me, the people, the voters who left me, were women,' she said. 

***This grifter ,election denier.. Has another book coming out? Who buys these books that libs make millions off of? I can't help but think it's a huge grift on us.

Bleachbit anyone?

BleachBit (CCleaner alt)

When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Adobe Flash, Google Chrome, Opera, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source.

Great question — and let me tell you, the truth is way more interesting (and a bit scarier) than most people think. Just because you delete something doesn’t mean it’s gone. Let’s break it down:

⸻

What REALLY Happens When You Delete Data

1. File Deletion Isn’t True Destruction

When you hit delete, your device:

• Removes the reference to the file in the file system index (kind of like tearing out a page in the table of contents)

• BUT the actual file still exists on the disk/SSD until it’s overwritten by new data

This is like taking your name off a mailbox but leaving the mail inside. Anyone who knows how to check the box can still read it.

⸻

2. What About the Trash/Recycle Bin?

• On most systems, deleted files go to a temporary folder (Trash or Recycle Bin)

• Not actually deleted until you empty the bin

Still recoverable at this point with basic tools.

⸻

3. Even After Emptying the Trash…

• On traditional HDDs (spinning hard drives), data can often be recovered using forensic tools unless it’s been securely overwritten.

• On SSDs, things get weirder due to a process called TRIM, which helps with wear-leveling and may mark the data for deletion more efficiently — but even then, recovery might still be possible in some cases.

⸻

4. Who Can Still See Your Deleted Data?

• Hackers using data recovery software

• Forensic analysts during investigations

• Even some apps or system services might still store metadata, previews, or cache versions elsewhere

⸻

5. Want It REALLY Gone? Here’s How:

a. Overwrite It

Use tools like:

• CCleaner (with secure erase)

• BleachBit

• Mac’s Disk Utility (secure erase options for drives)

b. Encrypt First, Then Delete

If data was encrypted, deletion is more final because the key deletion = permanent loss.

c. Use “Secure Delete” Tools

Programs like:

• sdelete (Windows)

• shred or wipe (Linux)

• FileVault (macOS encryption)

d. Physically Destroy the Drive

If you’re going full CIA/NSA mode — smash, drill, or melt that sucker.

⸻

TL;DR:

“Delete” doesn’t mean “destroy.”

The data lives on — in limbo — until it’s overwritten or securely wiped.

⸻

Want me to show you how to securely wipe files from your Mac or external drive? Or how hackers can recover deleted files in forensics? Let’s go deeper if you want!

Eruption In "BleachBit," "Wipe Hard Drive," "Offshore Bank" Searches In DC Suggest Deep State Panic Mode

Zero Hedge by Tyler DurdenSunday, Feb 16, 2025 – 10:35 AM Internet search trends in the Washington, DC, metro area have been nothing short of stunning in recent weeks, reflecting what appears to be growing panic within the federal bureaucracy as President Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) root out corruption in non-governmental organizations (NGO) and federal…
