And attacks on Abdul El-Sayed and Jon Ossoff.

I love how these attacks don't even land because the attacks are meritless and entirely a "straw man" argument and fallacy, and resorting to character attacks because MAGA doesn't have a policy, nor able to enact on its promises. Instead, they continually engage in gaslighting, projection and choreographing that a loss will lead to the death of the US.

All of this is extortion and hand-waiving as mere distraction of their own failures. They deserve the loss that's coming. But beyond that, do expect Trump to claim mass fraud and attempts to attack his opponents (Democrats) and election workers in the individual states - as Trump and SCOTUS attempt to run roughshod around the constitution and make what's the legal process, illegal... somehow, automagically - just because he says so. He continually and intentionally conflates perpetrator with victim and victim with perpetrator.

I knew this would come...

Right now, the White House is in full-blown meltdown - as all attempts thus far to rig the midterms, has not been well received by voters - nor has the messages of projecting criminality onto the opposing side (while he and his regime constantly and rather relentlessly engage in criminal acts).

Trump has been on and off, threatening election workers in states. Specifically, this battle starts in California, where Trump's weaponized-DOJ, is actively threatening election workers with felon prosecutions and jail time for simply doing their part, counting the votes, and operating off states' election processes - and failing to capitulate to his demands to implement Trump's SAVE Act voter rolls. Additionally, this rogue DOJ under Blanche - have threatened to illegally and seize ballots (federally), to interfere with this process.

Once more, I see three additional possibilities:

• The 2020 seized ballots resurface and they make bold and outlandish claims that after an independent recount and a partisan recount (by CyberNinjas), that the 2020 election was rife with fraud. Of course they recognize being in a position of authority and having seized the evidence (and potentially tampered with it): there is no way of proving, nor any need to prove the merits of such a case - but hope, nonetheless, to use it as a way of justifying unilateral over-reaches - following the results of their losses of both the House and Senate - as a form of veto, to bypass elections processes.
• Trump is not done with Iran and I believe that's for a reason... if need be, he can: escalate tensions with Iran (and potentially other sovereign leaders across the world) to justify (at least in part) cancelling the midterms or "stop the count" (when the numbers are favorable for him on election day; while claiming "rampant fraud" - but yet again, confident he does not need to prove it). He has already in multiple speeches, encouraged his supporters to "cheat like hell... like they do", implying the need to vote multiple times, etc. We already know that multiple forces will be descending upon elections locations, strategically - especially in swing states.
• On the topic of swing states: Elon Musk has been caught, yet again, embroiled the controversy of his own making, by helping "X.com" users sign up to vote. Just like in the 2024 election, he setup a phishing version of vote.gov, to siphon off PII of those wishing to register, while not actually helping at all with them registering. Not only does this serve as voter suppression (with users believing they have registered to vote), but additionally by siphoning off the PII that could be potentially used for various nefarious purposes. Some purposes include: "see, we were able to easily obtain voter information and interfere... hence our elections are vulnerable" or they could try in more of an official capacity to interfere with duplicate registrations using this information, and the information that was exfiltrated from his involvement with citizen's IRS information from the DOGE incidences and/or Trump's corrupt DOJ attempts to seize voter rolls in several states (we recognize at least 4/5 attempts were successful; with Minnesota refusing during the ICE blackmailing event; but also additional states along the Red Belt that were willing to implement the SAVE Act - even though it did not pass congressionally).
• Declaration of Martial Law or engineering a national emergency or broader existential threat is not off the table. I wouldn't put it past them to engage in false-flag attacks to justify declaring martial law, nuking Iran, or starting other global conflicts. We have already seen Trump truly wanting to undo sanctions placed on Russia and attempts to support Russia since Zelensky was successful in his attempts to take the Russsian disinformation machine offline, with brining 4 (of the total 6) Russian Yandex data centers offline. Following this, nearly everyone on social media immediately noticed that the conflict and disinformation that was being peddled by these bot farms.... had transformed social media into a much nicer environment than it has been for the past decade. Coincidence? I think not... but the people must remember and not forget in a time of "flood the zone with shit" to keep everyone distracted, on edge, cynical and disempowered. They thrive on fear and division... an aspect that was quickly identified both before and after Trump took power - the first time around in late 2016. Of course, there was likewise the Russia investigation, whereby - back then - the then independent-DOJ/FBI/NSA/CIA had investigated that our elections had been subject to Russian interference. Moreover, this was something Trump actually promoted by asking "Russia: if you're listening, release the 34,000 emails" (from Clinton's private email server). Rather not ironically enough, of course Trump has been caught using his own personal phone for handling sensitive interactions of national interest/defense since then. It has also been discovered through the Epstein investigation, that the "Pizza Gate" debacle, actually was devised by the ultra-wealthy to peddle and project accusations on the opposition - hence why Republicans and Trump truly don't want the Epstein files ever seeing the light of day.

Bottom-line is we're only a little over two weeks out from election day. Be sure to vote and to vote early. Use BallotTrax to track your ballot - presuming your state has implemented such system. Do not wait until the last minute. And don't be surprised when Trump is losing that he will try anything/everything while he has control over every lever of government at his disposal to weaponize it. Remain discerning. If, for whatever reason, we have a repeat of the 2024 Presidential Election - where we see Republicans winning in a landslide - to ask yourself some important questions: is this really legitimate? Trump and his handlers/enablers/sycophants and allies: all recognize they are going to be investigated and exposed if Democrats take control over the House... and certainly if they take control over both the House and the Senate. Yet another clear mismatch between public sentiment and voter turnout, should justifiably stick out like a sore thumb and operate as some major red flags. However, now that the Russian disinformation operation has been hamstrung... it's much more difficult for them to be successful in getting Americans to go along with this - especially since the past two years have been absolute hell in terms of affordability, jobs, economically and now a forever war - on top of all of the other corruption including illegal tariffs, etc. Nonetheless, Elon is doing his part to attempt to tip the scales again... I mean after all, he did triple his networth under Trump (and Elon makes a vast majority of his net profits off government contracts; simple coincidence? In my opinion: not!)

Go Bernie~!

We’ll have to wait to see what comes of this.. but thus far, previous claims of 4,000 counts of voter fraud in Florida.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has faced significant scrutiny over a massive, secretive effort to look for noncitizen voter fraud. Critics and election experts have noted that the agency's initial sweeping claims often resulted in a vast majority of flagged individuals turning out to be legally voting U.S. citizens.

The problem (and intention) with the approach of claiming widespread fraud, and later correcting these headlines in footnotes, is: the damage is already done - even if the claims (or tabulations) later turn out to be bogus, or their need for immediacy to reach far-drawn and overblown conclusions. The debacle created by this is often written off as “a mistake” or “incompetence”: not for what it should be accurately described as - an overarching strategy steeped in disingenuous action, and calling out results before they are even adequately investigated.

They are literally throwing anything and everything at the wall… hoping something will stick; or if it doesn’t, reaching these far drawn conclusions entirely too quickly. After this has happened multiple times, yet they keep repeating the same mistakes: this demonstrates they care more about winning in the court of public opinion and perception, than coherent, transparent optics, or being able to win within the literal court system.

With the events of Butler PA, the actions that followed the purported “attack on the presidents life” (their words, not mine): what was oddly and conspicuous, was when they were confident in a lone gunman attack, and ensuring the crime scene and Crook’a body was sanitized, post-haste. The supposed fact that Trump was hit with a bullet from an AR round, then the following day found with a tampon on his ear (others wearing one out of solidarity): only later the day following those events (or the the day after, the day after) to be caught in a private dinner with a friend - with no visible wound on his ear. “it struck me in the lobe… they call it the lobe” (no Sir… you were struck in the helix or flag of the ear, not the lobe); “I’m a quick healer” (no… wounds don’t heal that fast).

Moreover, when Wray testified before congress on the events of that day: Trump was both angry and insistent that he was struck by a bullet and that “I took a bullet for this country.” Beyond that though, Trump has done his part to ensure no additional questions be fielded about that day… exactly the way he and his enablers and handlers want it. I don’t doubt for a second, that people in the bleachers behind the stage were indeed struck - with some injured, and others fatally wounded.

Trump and his administration claim they are the most transparent administration in our country’s history; and yet, I can’t help but believe kicking the media out of the WH serves an alternate purpose during this time. Trump during one of his more recent speeches has said “they cheat like hell… so we’re going to cheat too”; and has claimed “there’s an October surprise” during one of his speeches and conferring with/to Russ Vought to confirm that to the crowd. Trump additionally suggested (and somewhat implied) to his supporters, to vote by mail and then go in-person: arguing that Democrats are engaging in such acts (which there is no evidence of; actually last time these comments were made by Trump and investigated, it was determined Republicans had engaged in these acts - no Democrats.

Additionally, given that Trump claims to have nothing to do with the events of J6 (when we all know otherwise; even when:

• the corporate technocrats censored him after the events that day - which really tells you something)
• He labeled the event a false-flag put on by the FBI controlled Democrats, BLM, and anti-fa (even though it was clear they were Trump’s supporters and he encouraged them to show up that day to interfere with the certification; the fake electors; the two now infamous phone calls - one involving gaslighting a win -!: the other blackmail to obtain “dirt” on Biden’s son - Hunter). The brutal violence and insurrectionist and seditious acts that day he referred to as “acts of love” and deemed their actions “patriotic”
• He proceeded to blame Nancy Pelosi for not calling in the National Guard - even though she has no authority and it was his job to perform such actions, but was sitting back and enjoying watching the carnage ensue. This clearly had nothing to do with an “official act”, but given the conservative lead (and majority) with SCOTUS… they decided ever-so-perfectly timed to state that president’s have absolute immunity for “official acts” but no protections for “unofficial acts”. A president with full immunity and impunity (even though it was clear his actions that day were not official in nature, given he was personally trying to hold onto power): nevertheless provided him not only the plausible deniability for later, but made way for and teed him up for his second administration to hit the ground running. This creates a dangerous situation when whatever Trump says is official (per being the highest law enforcement official and zero burden of responsibility; and the ability carte-blanche to provide blanket immunity to any of his sycophants, allies, or goons): inevitably leads to unchecked lawlessness and a two-tier justice system beyond the one created for the “have and have nots”
• Following the events that day - after some time and distance had passed from the event:he intentionally conflated perpetrators for victims and victims for perpetrators (something we had also with the Epstein files, and even with himself and his unilateral abuses of power and war crimes - which has resulted in an unnecessary Iran war; and likewise with him labeling Ukraine as perpetrators for defending themselves and hitting the Russian disinformation Yandex data centers) - while defending Putin as a victim (however remains the real perpetrator of the conflict). In my own personal opinion, I expect we’ll see the same thing happen as before with Trump, tapping the Proud Boys and his MAGA mob on the shoulder to engage in acts of domestic terrorism and instigation on Election Day (Trump as the tallies roll in, when ahead demands that “cease and stop counting t the polls at one! all votes that continue to be tallied, will result in elections officials being prosecuted.” I likewise expect that Trump’s proverbial Trump cards will consist of: the illegally seized ballots from 2020 by the no longer non-partisan DOJ (perhaps the same with USPS): to prove fraud based on claim (but since neutrality and chain of custody of the evidence has been violated - details we cannot fully trust and certainly not blanket analysis results with only vague details being provided - per usual). Similarly, I don’t believe it’s an accident he has kept the Iran conflict alive and well, because he can use that conflict as a distraction. He has already threatened at least twice (if not more), especially with one of those threats transpiring just recently about wiping Iran off the face dog the planet. Trump is simultaneously navigating his own neurological deterioration and breakdown that he’s finding difficulty in handling. These past two years, we’ve seen on multiple occasions - evidence/referencing that seems to indicate Trump has suffered from (worsening) neurocognitive challenges/deficiencies and symptomatically (especially on his birthday in 2024) signs of stroke.

With so much at stake and Trump, enablers, sycophants and cronies recognizing that Democrats winning means the corruption will soon be put in check, investigated and given that it runs so deep: they fear a Democratic win and doing anything and everything to subvert and pervert the will of the people and the states’ rights to administer their own elections (this of course includes unilateral overreach). Moreover, Elon yet again engaged in election interference with his ~$300M donation, and phishing for voter information (PII) harvesting “to help people to vote” (presumably in swing states).

Suffice to say, this cult and their Putin funded disinformation machine will be operating on all cylinders. I expect much chaos on Election Day, Trump claiming masa fraud, and/or calling for the polling places to randomly close - if the tabulations bring him out ahead “stop the count! Stop the steal!” That is also why Trump hates mail-in-ballots and the post-mark rule as much as he does… it prevents him (and those aligned with technical gifts): from outright assuredly winning - some is still left to chance - even if they do cheat. What I can say assuredly, however, is what is highly suspect and suspicious, is that: after engaging in a coup and keeping the election lie of the 2020 election being stolen away from him, was that he somehow automagically won all seven swing states in a landslide. This of course also follows him being charged and convicted (but not sentenced) to 34 felonies associated with tax evasion.

T

• Democrats 52%
• Republicans 44%
• Not Voting 3%

I argue that not voting, failure to vote, and creating a false-equivalency or adopting a nihilistic/apathetic/disaffected outlook is exactly what Trumpism and MAGA are all about; that and sewing as much chaos, division, confusion, and lack of trust in our elections - as possible - whilst simultaneously undermining our democratic founding, principles, and processes.

SCOTUS and Republican enablers are responsible for nurturing this monster and getting us into this mess; we must stand up, set the record straight, and continually remind them that even with all of the disinformation of the current age: we as humans recall and remember the events of J6, who was responsible - and similarly - we all the same will remember and judge them for their actions during this time.

The fact that Trump has had to come to Putin's aide and attack Zelensky for this destruction of the bot farms; and Trump's inability to sell America on Russian-bought oil and the polling itself, demonstrates an undercurrent that runs entirely antithetical to what they're trying to sell and/or the outcome they are attempting to force.

That said: even if Democrats win - "we the People" must sit on them and demand investigations, justice and accountability - as it's the only way to reform the party and offer us sometime to force government and representation to reform; otherwise, next election cycle - or time around (or this current rogue-regime's attempts to steal the election) - will just keep on happening and encourage the next "political player" to engage in either the same (or worse) political mind games, deceit, and subversion against the rule of law (including lambasting the constitution and our political norms). While I agree that we must reform this process and Democrats are not great on messaging (and likewise adhere somewhat to the status quo), they are still the lesser of two evils and with the people's pressure - can actually put in the work and get the job done; with the rest being up to us and the people to pressure them and sort through.

Per the latter, that's why it's all the more critical that people register to become members of the underkurrent, so we can work together to sort through the endless sea of voices, minutia and sort through the actions and political virtue/hand-waving signals that go on... and expose the corruption and demand better from our leadership.

I personally, am all for it. What we're dealing with right now, is akin to what would have happened with digital music (and mp3s) - save for/hadn't been for certain key individuals and judges that ensured music purchasing was its own form of ownership and therefore a right.

Instead of there being landmark cases (similar to the ones we saw with mp3s), video game publishers and console-makers - one after another - went the way of Adobe and SaaS software development firms: with the perpetual temporary/revokable ability to download/access the games using digital storefronts. The publishers continually make false claims that:

• Fans have been asking for this
• Fans' concerns over losing access to ownership of digital games and perpetual future access (via standalone discs) and ensuring video game preservation are "overblown"
• Some publishers/console-makers claim that moving to digital-only simplifies their processes and keeps costs down (and yet we actually see the opposite, with prices increasing - even amid these cuts)
• Is yet another example of how unchecked (unregulated) capitalism favors profits and businesses' rights over consumers' "rights"
• All decisions made have been unilateral. And from my memory, it began with Nitnendo's release of the Switch 2 console: which introduced physical game cards containing only the license key to download from the Nintendo e-Shop. Other console manufacturers followed suite; but since Nintendo uniquely uses cartridges: Microsoft and Sony are not providing BR-DVDs that contain license keys, alone; moreover, manufacturing costs on disc media is notoriously inexpensive, compared to ROM-based cartridges. Rather disingenuously, following fans' backlash to these moves and gaslighting of the corporate interests and removing perpetual licensee access (hence some level of ownership and ability to archive their game library and play it offline - or without storefront (when these storefronts often go offline and invariably sunsetted 7-10 years following the lifetime of a console): Nintendo claimed unlike Sony and Microsoft, they will keep producing the game cartridges in perpetuity. However, the problem and blatant lie/lack of truth behind this statement is of course obvious: first - they set this industry standard of moving away from physical media (and level of ownership); and second - none of the Switch 2 game cartridges contain the full-standalone game.
• These goals/approach/philosophies are bery much in line with what has been echoed by the top 1% of the top 1% for the past several years: "you will own nothing and be happy." Yet, the fans have a very different and opposite story to tell; and find it all the more troubling that with the difficulty (and ever-increasing cost) of living - they now find difficulty in enjoying the escape that video games has previously provided them - when lack of video game ownership/preservation - is an aspect that stares them straight in the face.
• We've seen similar unilateral moves and decision-making having been made the past several years in the lead up to this decision, with PSN Online and X-Box Season Passes (and now Nintendo Switch Online): with not only implementing multiple tiers and increasing cost (while decreasing value), but additionally - in some/many instances - essentially tying ability to play behind a perpetual monthly pay-wall. This is the classic "bait-and-switch tactic" (one I suspected that was coming for years): when subscribers were receiving easily over $200 of value for only $15-$20 per month. Of course the goal was to hook people onto their online platforms, for them to obtain widespread adoption, then to transition all games over to "subscription only" (and likely, eventually - "stream-only" play).

From my point of view, they are screwing their best clients and life-long fans and putting profits over fans (and consumers). It renders a bad taste not only in the mouth of gamers, but consumers alike. Everything is literally becoming a subscription; yet even some subscriptions - like Amazon Prime - have transitioned to monthly/yearly subscription, and have since then added advertisements on top of those immense costs (requiring additional fees to remove the subscriptions). These marketing practices are inherently exploitative in nature. Similarly, Duolingo used to have free and Duo Plus plans... only later to introduce Max plans (which when you combine with the lack of grandfathering early adopters into receiving the premium plans automatically, while supporting a freemium model - demonstrates little to no thanks - instead, only more and more entitlement).

As citizens and consumers, it's time we fight back against the lobbying and corporate interests. Behinds, the capitalistic model that operates out of regulation that forces laissez-faire/competitive economics (not the current version that ignores antitrust and monopolies): is only a market of exploitation. Besides, the corporate model cannot persists and remain sustainable/viable forever - when it requires the investors earn year-after-year, quarter-after-quarter: record-breaking profits, above all else. It has noticeably hurt the art form and gamers are some of the most unforgiving and the most exposing of such practices (just look at Robin' Hood and GameStop) - relentless: and I'm all for it. As Americans and consumers - we're the majority and we must hit them where it hurts the most - their pocket books. However, it likewise requires that we stand up, use our voice, and refuse their gaslighting and projection shenanigans and continually call them out on any/all abuses and boycott where necessary; this is beyond principal - it sends a message of influence and what kind of world we want to live in.

I will mention that I am extremely disappointed that the final installment to the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilology: Final Fantasy VII: Revelations, will - in fact - not be offered as a physical release; even though the digital-only policy was set to go into effect starting in 2028 for Sony's PS5. This was confirmed to be the case when Final Fantasy VII creator and veteran (been around since OG), Naoki Hamaguchi, tried personally appealing to Sony to ensure Revelation received a physical release - like its 2 (3 if counting Reunion) predecessor physical releases.

Lastly, I will mention that we were headed down this road of "watered down" game art and substandard triple A (AAA) release titles, when we saw what transpired in 2015 with the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (TPP) - when game development took nearly a decade (for the art, for the fans) and as a result, Konami ousted their then Vice President, Hideo Kojima - because he refused to go the way of sub-standard game art and the push towards commoditization of micro-transactions via gatcha games. Following its release, later that year - not only was he fired, but when MGV: TPP won game of the year in 2015 - Konami forbid he be present at the 2015 Games Awards to accept the trophy prize; instead, voice actor Keifer Sudderland (who replaced the infamous/coveted David Hayter) who took on the role of Solid Snake, received the trophy in Hideo's place - in lieu of him being present. Instead of this spelling the end for Hideo Kojima, he later worked with Sony and the developers of Horizon Zero Dawn (adopting their game engine) for the purposes of producing Death Stranding. Of course, it seems obvious to say between both series' ability to foretell the future, that Hideo Kojima cared much about the art form of video game creation and certainly creating surprise, delight and occasionally rage (frustration) with fans - but all the same, it was art.

theunderKurrent attended two events yesterday; sporting our 3x5' flag that expounds importance of curation, community and adhering to to constitution, and justice/accountability/truth and independently crowd-sourcing it, whle creating community.

We were glad to engage with like-minded and other patriotic Americans

"An official familiar with the discussions told Reuters last week that the main disagreement was over the order in which the proposed measures would be implemented, rather than the plan’s substance." =

If true: then let me just say - I know what it's about.... timing/rollout with unwillingness to open the Straight until after elections. Certainly would snub-nose it to the man that attacked the little girl / children's school, unprovoked.

It's getting pathetic that they are getting desperate enough to bribe voters - after flagrantly at the beginning of this year "playing tough guy of the century" - which only proved to the world just how outwardly corrupt Trump and his regime/enablers/handlers/sycophants are. A day of reckoning is in order.

While it seems obvious to say that only two "truths" (akin to the bastardization created by "Truth Social"): that the only reality they accept exists is where they win, or the opposition cheated.

He has complained for years about how grassroots energy is "busing people in" and "hiring paid actors"; however, the sad reality is often with these DARVO cases - every accusation is a form of self-admission.

So you mean to tell me that Jeffrey Epstein died by way of suicide.

And then... all of the following Epstein financers and bankers, died:

• Thomas Bowers (November 2019)
  Connection: Former head of Deutsche Bank’s American wealth management division, which famously approved controversial loans for Epstein.
  Death: Died by suicide at his home in Malibu, California, three months after Epstein's death.
• Jean-Luc Brunel (February 2022)
  Connection: A French modeling agent and close personal associate of Epstein who was accused of scouting and trafficking young women.
  Death: Found dead by suicide in his cell at La Santé Prison in Paris while awaiting trial.
• Mark Middleton (May 2022)
  Connection: A former special advisor to President Bill Clinton who officially admitted Epstein into the White House during the 1990s.
  Death: Died by suicide in Arkansas.
• Daniel Siad (July 2026)
  Connection: A French modeling industry figure whose name appeared thousands of times in the federal Epstein files regarding European talent scouting. He was under active investigation by French prosecutors for human trafficking.
  Death: Found dead in his Paris apartment. A post-mortem ruled out external violence but left the exact cause of death undetermined, noting signs of a past heart attack.

And now... purportedly - Simon Andriesz - found dead - by way of suicide, according to a no longer independent DOJ?

If anyone knows about power structures, they know that wealth and power likes to operate from its own unique position and set of rules. I'd like to likewise remind everyone that we have a criminal boss, running the US government like a rogue criminal enterprise and like a mob boss, which continually entrains enemies on anyone that questions his Kingmanship.

I'd like to end with: do we live in safer and more just world, a more authentic and empowered world - than the one we lived in over a decade ago? Or, has a president acted unilaterally, time and time again, immemorial and people are convinced the old way of self-governance and living is no longer possible? Because the way I see it: everyone is simply a human-being - no better than the other. However, we do have bad-faith actors out there that want to sew chaos, division, intimidation, and force truth tellers into the shadows and silence, via blackmail, death threats, and entraining the lunatic MAGA mob to fight his battles, and in turn offer pardons. At the same time, since we're all just people (some actually more verifiably virtuous than others), that means the majority actually possesses the ability to dominate the conversation in ways that money cannot buy - but people remain voiceless, and a platform hasn't existed, until now.

"Absolute power corrupts; absolute power corrupts, absolutely." Remember who we are; remember who they are; remember the world in which we choose to live in is continually shaped by our actions, wants and desires for justice, restoration of truth, and constitutionality. Absent of that, if we as humans continue looking away because it's too painful - or too inconvenient - than I am sorry to say that this process will continue repeating until something changes. After all: expecting things to change without doing your own part - expecting someone to save you - is the definition of insanity; or clearly, things have not become painful enough, for long enough, for enough people. However, per the latter, by then it may be too late... just like it was for a subset of MAGA that "woke" from their entranced comas to wonder why the world is now such an awful, vicious, place. It's something they embodied, must atone for, but perhaps they can more fully recognize now that "woke" culture was not about elitism - it's about how we choose to be as a species: do we choose to degrade others, dig our boots into the neck of others - to make the deeply flawed and insecure white American class of whitewashers - somehow more comfortable? Or do we recognize the worst that can happen to the least - happens to everyone and there are truly no loyalties with such dark forces in the world? We need to work together to seek to expose it; there's power and influence in numbers. There is no really good reason why we're living divided and isolated from one another, and this ultimately leading to loss of community, culture, and eventually country. It's all senseless brainrot, believed out of fear, and disempowerment.

I'd like to end by directing you to the first several phrases of the constitution and then embody it and have a change of heart and gnosis in the way you approach life, and shape and empower your own freedoms and the freedoms of others, and why the truth is not at all trivial.

Three Yandex data centers hit... and now the disinfo Russian bot machine has been dismantled - at least in part - in the lead up to elections.

• An attack on Oct 8th, Oct 9th, and now just last night (Oct 12th).

Well to go Vladimir Zelensky! Hit them where it hurts!

We the people and must use our voice. A call to action to "we the People" - that the power this government has, comes from us (not the other way around; that's where our responsibility comes into the picture). It's also important that we insure our leaders follow the constitution and uphold their oaths.

A Republic - if you can keep it - rather than a monarchy.

Freedoms are being eroded.

Yet... she is brining up COVID and Anthony Fauci... not about the real problem in the room. This level of cognitive dissonance is astounding.

And supposedly that the disinformation warfare is with the Biden administration and letting people be people. The reality Tulsi is that - your virtue signaling is not at all believable when you degrade others... and then give a big speech on "government should not tell the people what to do." Can you speak at any capacity about how the Trump regime has hijacked out Democratic Republic and held it hostage? I think not... very interesting how they constantly engage in mental gymnastics and pretzel. Far more disturbing is how this video somehow got close to 900,000 views a the time of this writing.

With government - you don't get to just pick and choose which parts of the constitution to underline and ignore the various other overreaches by this current fascist regime. What should tell you absolutely everything, is how they have branded "anti-fa" (anti-fascism) a terrorist organization. Need I say much more? Too bad many lack a brain to know the difference. I also think this is what Jesus warned us about when it came to the antichrist; but that's just my opinion and insight.

Supposedly, for a self-professed genius (and not many others to back him on this statement, at least individuals of substance and value): Trump is attempting yet again - after ousting Jerome Powell (one of his own appointees to the Federal Reserve - the Fed - during his 1st administration) - is now attempting to oust Lisa Cook.

Why? Simple. Trump wants to be able to set interest rates - by setting them much lower, in an already weakened economy and with already problematic inflation.

For anyone aware of or posessing a base understanding of macro-economics, this is inherently a bad idea. While the ultra-wealthy can weather higher interest rates (technically), and weather economy-breaking inflation -- everyday Americans cannot.

While on one hand, making loans cheaper and more accessible is a good thing - during financially challenging times - to make life more accessible and easy: we must remind ourselves last time we had super low interest and predatory interest rates. You may recall the 2008 Housing Crisis. Not only did that bankrupt and eventually bankroll the likes of Blackrock (yes that Blackrock - the one that owns more real estate in the nation than practically any other entity - and has it parked there for the economy crashes; creating a false-commodization and raising housing the cost of rent and housing - thus making everything more unaffordable). And as you may also recall, it was the Federal Government - aka. "we the People" through Obama's leadership - bailed them out of this crisis to keep the banks solvent and to avoid people losing all of the money they had in their respective bank accounts.

Since the 2008 housing crisis was borne of too lax / low interest rates... imagine the same thing repeating again, but this time with even a weaker economy than before... with the guard-rails removed. Of course, it's all tunnel-vision for Trump, his supporters and sycophancy with supporting such a move; but it's another to be attempting to force/shape outcome here, that would clearly benefit Trump over the people.

Truly the same could be said with Trump's attempts to purportedly bankroll (but ultimately levy tax-payers and increase the national debt) $5000 payouts... and likewise with Trump and Republicans efforts to gut healthcare and hollow it out, with no equal replacement. As you know Trump-regime v1.0 claimed for years and years and years (always to be delayed 2 weeks): Republicans had a plan. Their plan for healthcare? Get rid of the subsidies... force everyone back onto private pay, low-quality, high-deductible for the sick - health insurance. While it may seem like "great value" on paper, in the long run - if one were to opt for one of these catastrophic plans: ultimately all they are getting is the ability to stabilize in the hospital ER, or via hospitalization - not much more. Diagnosed with cancer? Yeah... old insurance doesn't typically cover that. Get sick while working with an employer and lose healthcare? Both expensive, and no requirements for minimum base value of the plan, nor any of the advantages that come with "cost sharing" - defraying the costs for those sick and in need.

What's worse are their attempts to institutionalize the disabled, remove them from communities and at the same time convince people that universal Medicaid (or soon to be squashed by Republicans next year - Medicare and Social Security) - are somehow bad things. In reality, the tax payers pay into these entitlement programs, for years - often decades. When it comes time to collect, these programs didn't fail due to the base trust structure of these programs - nor are they caused by a mass surge in baby-boomers; more often than not - it's because: (1) the money-grubbing hands of government borrow against these programs without a manner of paying them back; and (2) the ultra-wealthy don't pay their fair-share into these programs at similar percentage - yet get paid out massively/disproportionate to what they invest. All of this is to say, such practives are unsustainable.

The reason why I throw healthcare into the mix with an economics post is because healthcare is like top three Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on the USA. And while Republicans and a bunch of nay-sayers will say universal Medicaid is a mistake (and that life in Europe is hell): on both accounts, they are wrong. The reality is, the more that Medicaid is expanded to become universal, the better quality care, and it also sets the standard of care - as well as driving costs down - which naturally by extension includes private insurance premiums. Additionally, we have the ACA to thank for insurance companies not being able to discriminate (or charge separate rates) for "high risk pool" applicants.

Moreover, I brought up healthcare because it's practically the same stratagem as is the case with the economy: make massive changes, kick the can down the road, ask questions later, then later blame Democrats on why these decisions don't pan out. And yes, these narcs are literally that sick - we've seen it via the outward corruption and gaslighting. It's exceedingly uncommon to see a Republican stand on principle, what's right, or in the image of the classic Grand Old Party. Of course we have Newt Gingrich to thank for popularizing shameless lying in politics... later picked up by Trump... and their forerunners Nixon and Reagan also knew this all too well - hence why "I'm not a crook" and "trickle-down economics" - both were never really things.

I'll end by making yet another plug for the documentary, "Our Nixon" on Netflix. If you haven't watched it yet... now is the time. I am confident you'll see a striking parallel between the corruption now, to the way it was back then - minus the "guard rails" that existed back then, and the will/outrage of the masses being a true concern. I honestly don't know why Americans are as docile as they are when they see Democracy being lambasted and enshrined into exile and oblivion, other than to say: the social programming of the net seems to be working and making every person feel hopeless/helpless, too distracted/bored/apathetic to care, then combined with loss of community, leads to loss of culture and then subsequently loss of country.

In addition to voting, I ask everyone spend a week reading the constitution - you might find some thought and truth elucidating and though-provoking concepts and oaths contained within. As for the supposed "white Christian nationals" - same thing... go read your Bible... because you're so off the mark and worshipping the anti-you-know what, to recognize you are playing right into the hand of your worst nightmare (it might feel good to receive his acknowledgement after receiving zero acknowledgement for the crimes committed against you as children... but I promise you there are no loyalties with this man... ane you'll be proverbially the next in the wood-chipper (so to speak) - as soon as you've worn out your use. It is common sense to say this man is a con man, but you guys have likewise ruined the phrase "common sense" because you have rendered a false-equivalency to your own brain-rot. Congratulations.

A bit of old news... but the protest art is great.

Interesting....

This all began when PlayStation announced that they'd be discontinuing physical discs and (and of course the long standing abuse of Adobe customers - for years). Ever since then, it's been varying degrees of chaos from different sources and fronts - since then. It seems consumers are sending a message. Can't wait until the AI CEOs add this to the list of reasons why everyday people should not have access to AI - too bad the cat's already out of the bag and just like the internet - it has been democratized - as it should be.

Some notable examples include:

• Mario 64 + Halo (performed some additional research, apparently the utility to create these mashups is called Melty Launcher). Click here for the Github project page.
• Adobe - Photocraft, Vectorcraft, Filmcraft, Lightcraft, Effectcraft

  Corporate Greed is Backfiring... when you own nothing, it's not stealing... not right, but not wrong either!

It now even extends to playing games using Google Chrome (browser).... crazy times we live in! These include game cameo mashups and free and opensource versions of commercial software.

AI is conflicting with corporate company interests and now being weaponized against the big guys. It's affected corporate infrastructure and in my own opinion - it's about time that businesses start listening to consumers and providing options - instead of turnstiles and monopolies - in this time of high crimes and corruption.

You know, that he knows - that singling out an individual and calling them "a very unhappy person... miserable" by full name - is both his own deflection against reality and being called out on his BS and second, serves to incense the mob.

As proof you know he's doing that, is he can't help but lip bite himself - like he's being a super-clever troll here.

We know, he knows... everyone knows... let's stop playing the "human suck at nuance" - bit, and recognize the gravity of such moments that clearly demonstrate him to be a deranged/unhinged danger to mankind itself. Besides this level of derangement is so on brand for him and his MAGA loyalists that can't help, but to engage in mob-based-group-hate (I mean: think). Absolutely pure and utterly braindead... and yet they call it "common sense".

I love how he used his words very carefully "he never admitted to anything." That's something that Trump is actually quite proud of in this "hall of famer."

Of course just like every Trump loyalist, cabinet nominee - that similarly refuse to say that "Biden won the 2020 election": you can tell when they either refuse to say it, or try to dance around the question.

This case is far more obvious though because it has Scott Bessent blinking a ton, delaying and trying to quickly think up a way to detract/distract from the question.

I'm glad all of these criminals are on film perjuring themselves - like it all doesn't matter and they have it rigged and with pardons on the way. While that might be true, I believe once we have different leadership in a position of power - we the people must demand investigations and to follow the money: the flow of money tells the complete story here and it doesn't matter if they have been "pardoned" because: (1) you must pardon someone for a crime... you cannot pardon preemptively; and (2) by following the money we'll discover high level of corruption and crimes they wouldn't even dream of reaching the discovery process.

In terms of where the money should go: it should flow back to the American people, and to reinstate the programs which we pay for, but have been liquidated. Americans are hurting, and these criminals will one day need to be held to account. Scott Bessent just so happens to have the same surprised look: a popsicle has when it is having its stick inserted into it; which is one part pleasure, one part comedic - in his own sadistic twisted brain. The math doesn't math and he knows it; and he can cut the sophisticated, up tight and perpetual "retentive" look and smirk on his face.

"Make America Great Again"... what a perversion and inversion.

The false-equivalency and blame-game coming from the Right, is truly staggering. Even when they have been in power for nearly two years, signed HUNDREDS of EOs, engaged in illegal wars, and played sycophant and enablers (especially eying MAGA Mike Johnson - with his questionable repeated shuttering of the House to avoid Epstein votes): let's just say, the goal has been full implementation of Project 2025 and the deconstruction/demolition of American democracy. They can argue up down and sideways - as much as they want that we live in a republic and not a democracy - but correction: we live in a democratic republic.

The bottom-line is just like JD Vance: "give us more time" and "Democrats/Biden economics are to blame - not the unchecked corruption, tariffs, illegal wars, or unilateral executive over-reach"? Give me a break... they know what they're doing. It's disastrous policy after disastrous policy. Illegal war after illegal war, illegal bill after illegal bill / EO, and yet they will not take any accountability for the fact they've destroyed our economy.

This is what unchecked / unregulated capitalism/greed looks like. Our economy was previously the envy of the world, following Trump v1.0's disastrous "let's ignore COVID", gaslight the American public, and let us not forget - Trump/Republicans J6 gambits. Ultimately, it was up to corporate America to censor Trump v1.0. Now, they want to rewrite the events of J6. I find it extremely unlikely and shocking that a 2024 win was clinched legitimately - from the abhorrent data, Elon Musk's interference and lobbying (including purchasing Twitter.com to leverage it; whereby he tripled his networth - making him briefly the first trillionaire in the world).

All of this transpired not within an echo-chamber, and same thing is true with tariffs, this illegal war, and if our economy is truly doing as well as it is (after Trump fired all job staticians - similar to how he handled COVID cases, and kicks out the media for truth telling, rather than capitulating with threats of FCC licenses being revoked): then why are there mass layoffs? Why is Trump pushing AI heavily, when people are losing their jobs, or importing beef while our farmers are suffering? The answer is simple: trickle-down economics never worked, and them passing the blame over to Democrats when they literally hold unilteral control over every arm of government (including what is supposed to be an independent USPS/DOJ/SCOTUS) - tells you absolutely everything you need to know. Moreover, Trump claimed to know nothing of Project 2025, and has kept the "election was stolen" and "our elections are rife with fraud" talking points going - even in light of overwhelming evidence on the contrary. Trump and Republicans never like discussing details, only vagueness and vulgarities and character launched at Democrats.

In my mind, while we truly need a people's party... Democrats are the lesser of the two evils. Sitting out this election, or forming a nihilistic view this election cycle, or "we the People" not using our voice or standing up for restoring truth, justice and upholding the law and constitution - could very well spell the final death knell in the coffin of western Democracy. Once more, I think it's rich that Trump never has anything bad to say about Putin, claims Ukraine started a war for defending itself, continually screws over our allies, engages in relentless and baseless lies, and now is trying to subvert the will of the people.

Make no doubt about it, they will "flood the zone with shit" (as Steve Bannon said), and literally leave no stone, unturned. I am confident there are still several "Trump cards" that haven't yet been played... including timing after they lose this election with baseless claims by our hijacked/corrupted-DOJ of the 2020 elections being stolen from Trump. Wrong. What we should all recall is J6, two blackmail phone calls, a false-slate of electors, 63/64 failed and separate lawsuits against states, a former president exfiltrating sensitive files of value to Russia and just this year and towards the end of last: attempting to force Moduro into admitting to election inteference, or blaming China... when Trump's report he released in on July 17th painted quite a different picture.

While I could go on and on, the point is the lies are not landing with voters and the American people. People recognize just how much more costly and disastrous of a position Americans and the American people are financially: all while bragging about the stock-market (and behind the scenes, bragging how the tariffs and oil are making Trump and the Epstein class - millions upon millions of dollars). Likewise, it should have been seen as extremely illegal with Trump-regime's attempts to invest in companies, pay for Trump support ads using tax payer dollars, or for him to launch his own pump+dump crypto scheme... and hollow out the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. MAGA Mike Johnson and others have said the quiet part out loud: if God forbid they lose the midterms, Trump, his family, friends and half the people in this room will be investigated; to which I add: damn straight. FAFO - they know they have engaged in criminal acts and cover-up.

My last suggestion for you, is go watch "Our Nixon" on Netflix and don't tell me that you don't see how it starkly matches our current reality with the Trump scandals, cheating, blackmail/bribery of votes, etc. Right now Trump and Republicans are floudering - especially after they hit up the beginning of this year with an illegal war and not even attempting to hide the corruption any longer. These are likewise the consequences of conservative justices literally teeing up Trump this second term, by not explicitly claiming he has immunity... but offering him enough of a grey area to operate with. As Trump stated "if I don't have absolute immunity, I can't do my job as president". Wrong. Also, their accusations against Jack Smith (independent investigator) they attempt to scapegoat as a violation of checks and balances... well, I would tell them to look in the mirror these past two years. They are reaping what they sew and I'm all for 25-50 years of Nuremberg trials to come, and for the liquidation of these corrupt entities assets - if they engaged in illegal behaviors, or were accessories and enablers to these crimes.

I couldn't agree more. Just the other night, Trump suggested Iran attack California.

Trump isn't stupid... he knows what he is doing when he primes and says "a midterm surprise". Look at what happened in 2024 with the election results. Still hard to imagine those results were even real and not engineered - given Elon's involvement.

We the people can only take so much of this gaslighting abuse before we say enough is enough. It should begin with the unification of our voice and protesting and proceed from there.

Glad we have another sane on in this world that sees it and calls it out exactly for what it is... rather than what it isn't and what these sick AF supporters and sycophants attempt to rewrite J6 and history as.

You cannot control numbers that roll in over days, and has the ability to over-turn any efforts to engineer a win. Just look at what happened with Zelensky and Raffensperger calls (him later attempting to force Moduro - following his capture from Venezuela - into falsely-admitting to election interference), the false-slate of electors, the events of J6, the bomb-threats called into Democratic strongholds, the lawsuits that followed, the big lie created by Trump and his sycophants/enablers/handlers/supporters (and Project 2025's plans for destroying democracy and our democratic process), MAGA Mike Johnson's grip on the House, and all the undermining of free-and-fair elections and processes.

Oncemore, what has remained unanswered, was a 2024 - squeeezed out win - Elon's involvement, DOGE exfiltration of US citizens from IRS (likely later leveraged for voter data), not to mention blackmailing states to release their voter rolls, SCOTUS' rather blantantly illegal and complicit corruption (and trampling over state's rights), and all the attempts made to try to force USPS to participate in the act of voter suppression, etc. I know people demand verifiable proof, when a pattern has existed and been doubled-down upon for the past decade plus; which is to say, it's too charitable at this point given the toxic gaslighting and narcissistic patterned abuses to say that Trump truly cares about elections integrity - when in the reality and his ego tell an entirely different story: claim fraud early and frequently, and undermine voter confidence and the elections process and sew chaos and confusion, as much as possible.

That's why it's ever critical for us to leverage our voices, and uphold the rule of law - before it's too late. We can no longer solely rely on the courts to uphold this, between SCOTUS' own undermining of our democratic process, and with the assailing on state rights, and claim of fraud - while quite literally Republicans and Trump hold all the cards and power. That's why it's essential to call out the disparity after we see it... and that is: if people's sentiment and polls tell one story, but the win squeaked out tell another (after 2 years of rampant corruption) - then it's time for we the people to unify and act as the final bastion to seek transparency. If, just like the Epstein files - we're denied it... then it sets a very clear precedent that only further underscores the corruption and self-own/engineered outcome they seek (as the powers that be want to see democracy - and our way of self-governance - driven into the ground, continually undermined, and for the will of the majority trampled upon. Of course, that doesn't even begin to hit on the dangerous economical challenges of this country with a system that has been fixed for the ultra-wealthy top 1% of the top 1%, the lack of justice applied to the Epstein class, and how the top 1% of the top 1% would love to see a third world-war precipitate, as our US government is both literally and morally bankrupt - and the vast wealth and interest provided to these powers if they bankrolled of what potentially, may be the end of the world.

Although I am labeling this as opinion... much like science fiction becomes science fact... patterned abuses often later are exposed as the same factual patterned abuses - even if absent all of the singular "smoking gun" that people demand. We all know what transpired on J6, as Trump/Republicans/MAGA-die-hards seek to rewrite that day and villainize what was then a more impartial 3rd-party role of the DOJ (not under the captured form under Trump's leadership), along with the relentless and continual undermining of the Epstein investigation.

They will reject the results of this selection... except the pushback will make J6 look like an absolute cake-walk, for comparsion - because undermining the legitimacy of the elections is the point.

However, that situation places us - squarely - in a catch 22 because: (1) on one hand if they win (inexplicably against polling numbers, a stark contrast to the public sentiment) - they will then leverage that to undermine the legitimacy of future elections (even though they engineered a win and it resulted in potential voter spoilage/cheating, as it is controlled by a majority hand and could feel like a repeat of 2024 win - following Trump's J6 coup d'etat); or (2) they will lose and literally throw anything/everything (including the kitchen sink) at denouncing the results, or engineering a loss for the opposition - while engineering a "win" themselves).

We must recognize on just how dangerous of a president and precedent this sets. We already know that Trump likely has kept the Iran conflict alive for the reason of having a bypassing "existential crisis" that will be used to destract. Similarly, the no-longer-independent/hijacked DOJ's corrupt attempts to rig the midterms (under Blanche; and to engineer payment to J6er insurrectionists along with pardons), among dozens of other strategems will be utilized.

In "their version of reality" (which they conflate as the only legitimate version of reality), is a world where truth doesn't exist (is impossible to be determined), they win always, and their opposition only wins above them as the result of cheating. This is quite literally the most abusive and brain-damaged of a false-belief system/gaslighting and actions of subverting of the will of the people we've seen in this nation's history; just because SCOTUS wrongfully undermines the constitution under a corrupt seal of "rubber stamped" approval (similar to Trump's purported "immune from prosecution under official acts" - while failing to define it) is a level of complicitness and complacency. Why? Simple: crimes are always determined based on intent and last time around (back when our democracy had guard-rails) - Trump and his regime attempted to seize and cling onto power via blackmail, coercion, demanded recounts, lawsuits, and engaging in endless lies. Just because Trump "believed" he had been wronged and kept up that lie (then forced his confirmed cabinet members to maintain the lie), doesn't mean we're unable to determine truth from untruth, etc.

What we've been witnessing has been a period of the highest and most engrained level of corruption ins our democracies history - including unilateral war against its people (ICE shootings), foreign nations (illegal and unprovoked war engagement), EOs that were never backed by congressional approval (along with the war), and now a decade later - a legacy media machine that is either one part complicit accessory to the lies, or are capitulating out of fear. To make matters worse (and less clear), is seeing every major tech CEO sitting next to Trump dureing his 2nd inauguration on Jan 20 2025 - after literally only a little over 4 years earlier, the corporate tech bros denounced his willingness to overthrow our state of governance. Yes, that's correct: Twitter, Facebook and YouTube - silenced a still then sitting president; and we literally could not rely on congress (due to Republican sycophancy and the end of their respective party, due to their fears of impeaching him would backfire).

It's time to prime and prepare ourselves to these facts, and act accordingly when voting and responding to their attempts to over-engineer, or over-throw the last bastions of our self-governance model. Trump can fawn as much as he wants over wanting to Be Putin, Kim Jun, etc. - but Americans are sick of his narcissistic gaslighting and abuse and even his supporters are starting to wake up. It's become so dire for Trump and his supporters that Trump announced at a recent rally "you gotta cheat like hell, like they do" (going on to encourage his supporters to create the very fraud he complains of). Why do they comply?

In my own personal opinion (but also lookign at patterns): this is because they are just as weak as he is... just as Republicans are as weak as he is. Republicans know (much like his supporters), what they are doing. This abusive relationship between patriarchal/abusive father relationship many in the conservative world have received from their father's and the group think of rural goers; hence why they refer to him as "daddy". This toxic and noxiousness, attempts to self-perpetuate, when I am personally confident - many of them are vastly aware of the subtextual/pretextual abuses they ascribe towards - hence why the attacks on our capital happened that day and they attempt to invert and project responsibility away that day (as they have changed their story-telling of the events of J6 and fear-mongered over 'socialism' and intentionally conflating as 'communism', taking over - ad nauseum). They know they can't win on logic/facts/memory, so they attempt all means to pigeon-hole their way to victory (even - yes, if it requires cheating; or burning our way of governance to the ground, or interfering in the sovereign governance of other countries, or launching us into many new illegal wars, or subjugation of the American people). For all of those reasons and more - remain vigilant and do not remain complicit and silent - narcs rely on it, to engineer inferred consent of the public (as these last bastions of democracy reject such attempts to undermine). And for anyone involved in this process, recognize that whistle-blowing exists for a reason - and act accordingly if you see illegal things happen before, on, or following these upcoming mid-terms. They are so desperate: this is their final chances to attempt to grip onto and seize power, before losing everything; what comes next, is accountability and in my opinion: investigations that make Nurembergs (much like Nixon's corruption), comparatively: look like a cake walk.

While we are already aware of a "leave no stone unturned" approach by the powers that be - to hold onto and seize power; today, per a smoking gun memo document: we can add an additional three stratagems and gambits to overthrow democracy and subvert the will of the people. Why? Because they can't win by any other means.

Additionally, there have been reports that this regime is targeting California more broadly. I would like to remind you that a sheriff was arrested by the state earlier this year, when he walked off with 650,000 voter ballots. Because of this, it was never about there being actual fraud, or about "free and fair elections", but rather - all about engineering the fraud and stoping at nothing to "win". In their version of the world, works a little something like this: "you're 100% wrong, and I'm 100% right; or 50% of the time you're wrong and 50% of the time I'm right": which is to say, the only options in Trump-world consist of:

We win, or they cheated. Period. Yet... more likely: they lose and will cheat... and cannot accept their bad and failed policies and stealing from the American people while trying to sell it back to them as "we've pulled in 21T in tariffs" (that simply does not, add up on paper).

I entirely expect these midterms to be a cluster-you-know-what... and it's not like the 2020 illegally seized ballots in 4/5 states, nor the pardoned J6ers and with payout (and immunity for Trump and his family) is for zero cause and reason. It should tell you everything they need to know about weaponization of government on their end, assailing of the constitution and freedom of speech and rights to vote (by subverting it), and everything to do with "win at all cost". As Trump put it "you gotta cheat like hell like they do" (going on to imply he will be casting a physical ballot, as well as returning a mail-in-ballot (which is illegal).

All he must do is maintain the lie at this point, create new and existential distractions, and engineer the kind of fraud he needs to justify cancelling the elections or "stopping the count" or "stopping the steal". However, remember this time around (unlike J6 2021) - this time, the guard-rails are off and the only bastion are state's litigating (will take months/years in court if unilateral overreach occurs or this disenfranchises legitimate votes), and that leaves the last bastions of justice as 'just us' and the lower courts.

Be sure to vote, and to vote early. Don't adopt the nihilistic view and remain vigilant for what's to come. This one-trick DARVO pony/playbook is getting old, but we must not become complacent.

I would hope that this is all common-sense... but eventually someone becomes so corrupt and imbibed with their corruption, that they become an existential threat not only to their people, but to the world as a whole.

This is truly a sickness and I really wish people would turn off the political theatre enough to recognize that the age we live in - is simply unsustainable. This continual testing of the waters, then pushing further and further - is where the Overton Window has been drug along the ground for too long. Not only has this created an incredulous environment of disbelief (in both senses), it has literally made our lives harder to survive and live.

This is the reason why people matter, our voices matter and why I believe our collective experiences and voices matter. It's time to crowd-source this fundamental pattern, truth and experience - because it's undeniable and the haves - have never been more divorced from the needs of the have-nots. Why do people in their own-selfhatred, continue to excuse this monster's worse impulses? My guess... they were disenfranchised for years... and hell loves company - hence the sadistic pleasure and their own disillusioned grip on power and having power over the other... even though they are unbeknownst/unwittingly playing right into the hands of an individual with no loyalty (the enemy).

That's the point. Same thing with propaganda.

and yes... the Republicans are attempting to perpetrate the "big lie" (the one that Trump and his sycophants project.... but they perpretrate and own).

And yes.... they are wanting to rewrite history.... anything to provide a modicum explanation, that the people suffering isn't Trump derangement syndrome... nor was Jack Smith acting partisan in his pursuits of criminal activity.

We are in the hell we are in now, exactly because Trump was NOT held accountable... and guess who enabled this - that's right - yet again, it was Mitch McConnel and Republicans that chose not to impeach Trump.

The only punishment was literally from the tech bros, back then - back when they were capitulating out of fear.

What an insane world we live in.

Very telling...

The game is "We win", or "they cheated"; and JD has a smirk or grin, in response when Maher says "That's gotta stop"

God bless these justices, speaking up. I know they try to remain "neutral": but, remaining silent while the constitution and our democratic process is being dismantled is legal, constitutional and democratic malpractice.

We are all too focused on ignoring the problem: our leaders, the media, and even - "we the People". How can we ever hope to solve this problem, unless we recognize that things are too far gone - not to act, use our voice, raise awareness and demonstrate unity.

We demonstrated this unity, apart, during COVID... and yet, we are seemingly incapable here.

My... my... my... so much backpedaling on established facts... even already stated "Anthropic" provided us false intel. You can't re-write the record, once the truth has already come out, sir.

Notice what happens... when the grift continues amid the cry of outcry of the people, and deeply unpopularity of MAGA/Trump and the constant gaslighting and election subversion.

Ever since Trump apparently won the 2016 Presidential Elections (mind you with Russian interference that has been documented by our previously independent DOJ): progressively to now, we've seen Democracy continually assailed.

Elon helped Trump win the 2024 elections, and in my own opinion - the results of that election are deeply suspicious.

So where does this land us? Well... it's everything I feared it would be back in 2015 (presuming Trump would win; but, did not come to fruition - due to Democratic guard-rails). Now, we're living in a dystopian version of "real life hell" - where the way life we knew it to be, 11-12 years ago is now gone. We have never been more over-worked, over-stressed, under-appreciated, and "the will of the People" overtly subverted - in the history of this country.

We currently sit at the precipice of this potentially spelling the end of the Democratic process (as we know it): and in its place, ushering in a super-majority of Republic MAGA politica - solidified and codified into our law; with a clear two-tier justice system to boot!

"You will own nothing and be happy". This is complete the full-circle 80-year cycle of where we were with the great depression, and tees-up potentially the equally (but possibly even more existential threat) of WWIII and global conflict.

The results of the 2024 election were beyond suspicious - considering all variety of factors. I recognize we are deeply in trouble and must as a people come together, express and unify our voice, and re-establish truth. However, I cannot do this alone. I have spent the past 3-4 months - to prepare us for this moment. So please join the movement and cause - instead of giving into silence, indifferrence, or offering your consent (by default) - with intimidation and silence. Our demographic is larger; our voice is louder... our movement is louder. We must us our constitutional rights, uphold the law and restore justice and the social contract - before it's too late.

The compromise appears to include counter-intel, including Remote Operations Unit (ROU).

This administration can't keep ahead of it.

Update: on of the members of ShinyHunters, Pepijn van der Stap (internet alias/handle: "Umbreon"). Following this event, ShinyHunters reneged in their threats to release the FBI leak - unless the FBI redacted its statements and issued a public apology.
