Saving Alaska the Allard Way- Less Legislation, More Weird S@&t

Speaking for myself, it's rare I spend any time on Space Karen's shithole X platform unless, of course, I'm collecting the inane online ramblings of a pro-Hitler, racist lunatic whose idea of a fun night out is ranting about "the good old days" to an empty barstool while double-fisting a lukewarm Coors Light.

But as with most dreadful places located deep in the heart of Alaska social media, there are often hidden priceless treasures to be found, such as on Jamie Allard's X account, where the attention seeker has posted about and promoted DOGE Alaska for many, many months using her official "representative" title.

Representative Allard created the DOGE Alaska X account last November. A keen eye will note that DOGE Alaska's profile photo is the same one used by Allard across various social media platforms, including Facebook.

Up until Sunday, February 9, Allard's other X account was listed as "Rep. Jamie D. Allard," highlighting the title bestowed upon her by Eagle River voters who, for reasons not immediately clear, thought she would be an effective leader who possessed at least a basic understanding of how government should function.

But curiously, that all changed when I noted in a Facebook post a statement from Allard, who had confessed to hiring an attorney to provide her with a legal opinion on how to grift off of Elon Musk's illegal DOGE venture, which operates without a congressional mandate. After the big reveal, Allard wasted no time scrubbing the "Rep" title from her X account, and most expectedly, Must Read Alaska swooped in with a piece on Sunday, trying to run cover. The blog post laid out Allard's plans for DOGE Alaska, spinning damage control after her careless public post likely exposed her dogey deepstate involvement sooner than intended.

Asking for a friend, just curious, really—what do you call a legislator removing their elected office title from a social media account to change, after the fact, things she said that held the weight of her title/elected office? I'm not smart enough to know the answer, but I hear we may soon find out!

Now, everything up until this point tracks, right? It's classic attention-seeking by Allard, who had been tweeting about DOGE Alaska ferociously and rabidly for two months using her representative title. Except it's not a new thing at all. I've often said it's the same old crew behind every new stunt—and DOGE Alaska is no different. It's just a tired rebrand. Different name, but the same batshit bullshit. Fun!

You can find the list of key players at this link, but for the click-avoidant, many of DOGE Alaska's founders are the same incestuous weasels previously involved on some level with Save Anchorage. You remember them, doncha? The far-right "grassroots" Facebook group? Bastion for the unhinged? The private hidden nesting ground for maskholes whose anti-vax and anti-science bullshit overwhelmed Anchorage hospitals and drove away healthcare workers?

Not so coincidentally, this was the same group that Jamie Allard, while serving on the Anchorage Assembly, skillfully manipulated into flooding the U.S. Treasury Department with thousands of emails filled with false claims that the Municipality of Anchorage and certain Assembly Members had committed fraud.

In fact, Allard herself emailed Dionne Smith, Audit Manager of CARES Act Audits with the U.S. Department of Treasury on August 12, 2020, falsely claiming that the Berkowitz Administration was committing "fraud, waste, and abuse" as the administration moved to utilize Covid Relief Funds (CRF) to help Anchorage's most vulnerable amid the coronavirus pandemic.

"Fraud, waste, and abuse," you say? Golly gee, that sounds familiar—and it should—because it's the same tired-ass line Allard has been bloviating about for years and now sits plastered atop DOGE Alaska's website. 

Now, I can only imagine what fresh hell Allard's Legion of Doom plans to unleash on us this time because DOGE Alaska is light on specifics. But thankfully, she has given Blue some clues that might shed some light on their plans.

Allard has enlisted the volunteer support of Anna London, Founder and CEO of Cyvergance.ai, whose website looks like it's running on GoDaddy's low-level marketing platform and has an annoying popup you can't close. Notably, practically nothing on Cyvergance's website indicates they have any experience related to government budget analysis, and the company seems to focus on cybersecurity, brand protection, and crisis management.

Former Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan—now proudly repping Team DOGE Alaska—is best known for his tireless efforts to make Anchorage less welcoming to, well, pretty much everyone. He made national headlines after vetoing protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation, cracked down on the unhoused with an ordinance banning people from sitting on public sidewalks—and vetoed an assembly attempt to repeal it. Rumor has it he's eyeing AI to build a robot army to clear out LGBTQ+ folks and the homeless because he considers their existence "wasteful."

Bob Griffen, a (thankfully) former member of the Alaska Board of Education and now part of DOGE Alaska, could be a telegraph that another attack on public education is imminent. I could see them using AI-distorted public education data and bogus analysis to further shit on students, teachers, families, and school officials around the state.

I have no idea what level of expertise Sami Graham might provide DOGE Alaska unless they're planning to use AI to automate book banning—cuz all those library books turning kids transgender is a real issue that's totally happening all over. Quick, look under your chair; it's happening right now! Don't laugh; I may not be off the mark here—I mean, who knows? Maybe they'll fire up AI to sniff out "waste" in libraries next, flagging any spending that doesn't pass their purity test.

And naturally, the emperor of spin himself—Must Read Alaska Senior Confabulator and former Alaska Lt. Governor Craig Campbell—is right there in the mix. Forrest Dunbar once called Campbell "one of the most hyper-partisan and dishonest figures in Alaska politics," and honestly, it's hard to argue with that assessment. Yuck.

So, what's the endgame here? For now, it's one big mystery wrapped up in DOGE Alaska. At the very least, we know that they're comprised of the same exhausting crew of grifters repackaging their culture war antics under a shinier, meme-friendly banner, hoping most Alaskans won't notice it's the same nonsense with a digital facelift.

It seems likely that they're plotting to weaponize AI to churn out skewed data and resurrect their favorite bogeyman of "fraud, waste, and abuse," which honestly is a bit boring because it means the old guard's playbook hasn't changed.

But buckle up because it's going to be a year (or more) of them stoking outrage, distracting from real issues, and seeing just how deep into the rabbit hole they can drag their willing drooling legion before they wake up and realize that no policies were improved, no lives were bettered, and that once again they were nothing more than pawns in a grift-laded game played by far-right opportunists.

Much chaos. Much cringe. Same old Allard.
