An internal Social Security Administration (SSA) memo, sent on March 13 and obtained by Popular Information, details proposed changes to the claims process that would debilitate the agency, cause significant processing delays, and prevent many Americans from applying for or receiving benefits.

The goal is to make Americans distrust the Government... so that's it's easier to Privatize Gov in the hands of Corporations.

Which is why all the outright lies about Soc Sec and Medicare.

This isn't just about privatizing SS. They're looking for a so-called "humane alternative to genocide." I think that's also why RFK Jr was chosen to lead HHS: no vaccines means more seniors will die each year. To them seniors are dead weight, useless to society and expendable. The same can be said of disabled people who don't work, including disabled veterans:

OMG, see how they lie, emphasis mine:

Leaked memo: DOGE plots to cut Social Security phone support

An internal memo from the Social Security Administration proposes changes to its phone service that could derail the benefits application process for many Americans.

Why it matters: The Trump administration has repeatedly said it doesn't plan changes to Social Security, other than to address fraud and waste--but these proposals risk "crippling" a system already plagued by delays, and facing staffing cuts, former agency officials tell Axios.

The latest: Axios obtained a draft of the memo, signed by acting deputy Social Security commissioner for operations Doris Diaz on March 13, and written on behalf of the agency's operations department.

Its existence was first reported by Popular.Info, which published screenshots of a subsequent version, sent to acting commissioner Leland Dudek a little later that day.

Context: The memo was sent one day after the agency denied, in a press release, a report it was scrapping its toll-free phone line.

@#5 ... OMG, see how they lie ...

Well, yeah.

So, what are the lies trying to cover up?
