Very much like the War on Terror from W (a terrorist organization of no one country), we now have the Terror of War on civilians (anyone who resists) by Trump & Company, having been cobbled by lessons learned from China's Mao, Putin's Russia, and MBS's Saudi Arabia. Certain lingering questions have been answered by Netanyahu's Demolition of Gaza. The middle is gone because the fence has been electrified. No more fence-sitting. All that's going to be allowed to exist are polarities. One last thing: If you think those data centers are only about AI, I beg to differ. The surveillance data is going somewhere; Hoover taught the FBI well. It would make sense that AI would be given access sooner or later, if only for predictive readouts, the results of which will depend entirely on the mindset of the programmers themselves. AI is a direct reflection of its creator and the language provided. The Pegasus stalkerware is insidious. Consequently, society is less safe in its addiction to the digital sphere. Physical solidarity coupled with genuine presence of mind is the only way forward.
Thanks, now I know to search https://discord.gg/rPwvNseunD for entrance to the area and I have also enjoyed some learning from a post by a person here who talks about how to sort chaff from good writing in a way that makes sense to me. Next, tomorrow I will look around and learn more.
Understood, and I will learn and I have some feel, just like the officers who showed up for the Trump lecture on Tuesday, for what we are up against. Many Americans, for what ever reason, have been led down a very dangerous path. Any thing that helps change that helps me know that there are many others out there ready to learn and deal with this problem effectively.
I am just a citizen watching but I am uplifted from the discussion here and I believe the knights are wakening and the fight is soon to be waged. If I can find ways to be useful I will add them. I suspect I need more time and education.
Ethan, the process of hammer first, cast the net second, and the steps that will follow appear to be the same steps used in perpetuating a grift. The Net post has solidified my views on how to structure my future comments on the grift aspect in an attempt to provide avenue away from self-censorship of dissent, fear of repercussions from the regime, and digesting the ambiguity as a method to destabilize any feelings of security to a focus on the narrative being the cover for the multitude of grifts taking place.
Isn't the entire reason for Trump’s existence to be a “Trumpster.” In order to accomplish such a high goal, it apparently requires Trump to care only about himself and his inner circle and to be a taker from others (aka grifter).
Ethan, thank you for the discord invitation, and thank you for the positive reply.
I am curious to know more about you before jumping completely into the proverbial fray. In short, I have had djt on my radar since 1979 the year I moved into NYC. I have written many substack comments emphasizing that there is no bottom to this malignant parasite. I do not want to spell it all out here, however if you would be willing to exchange direct messages that would be great.
Roger all of the above. I also spent time in NY during those Trump years. I saw first hand how Trump fueled his rise by blatently robbing his contractors, many of which I worked with on unrelated jobs wherein I saw the wholesale destruction of reputable and respected family businesses, with decades of hard work laid ripped asunder by Trump and Kohn’s proclivity for tying things up in courts for years.
The Greenwich Village Voice’s sidebar photo blowup of Trump’s office showing Mein Kampf and Ayn Rand’s writings being dog eared and sticky noted amongst the utterly untouched and unread sea of volumes designed to impress behind that desk was not lost on me.
I take great solace in the realization that I am not alone (although living in the middle of Trump Central Texas often makes that hard to see).
And while much of my existence these days has been with an utterly different fight, due to a “didn’t exist six months ago” to a “sorry but it’s Stage 4” diagnosis, my own cancer just reflects the rapidity, aggressiveness, and life changing seriousness of the metaphorical but very real cancer facing us all, while simultaneously underscoring our collective need to marshal our forces and fight back with whatever means we have at our disposal, lest we let it take it’s well determined present course.
It already has demonstrated its sizable advantage, and unlike my cancer, we don’t have an equivalent of a PSMA PET scan to ascertain where else it has metastasized undetected and is growing still undiscovered fueled and enabled by the myriads of downstream actions taking place that there are not enough news cycles in the world to shed any light on, or have any possibility to gain comprehension of the ramifications of before being displaced moments later by even more distractions, entirely engineered to numb.
There’s a reason these think tanks have hired multiple PHD’s with doctoral thesis’s on the efficacy of Goebbels propaganda techniques and the accompanying relative rapidity with which they made the targets acquiesce to notions previously held unconscionable.
So thanks for this.
It often helps to realize I’m not imagining this and I’m most certainly not crazy.
It’s always great to read such informative insights into the great distractions we’re facing while our precious rights are being ravaged. Thank you!! 🙏
God speed and healing sent your way. We’re in this together. Readying ourselves for battle together. It’s our turn….

By the way … I trust Ethan Faulkner.

I was beginning to think that I was just a crazy old man but now I am ready for orders again.
