My All-American Tax Act will make the first $36,000 of every American’s income federally tax free! That’s ~$300 more per month in the average worker’s paycheck!

Michael Parenti (1933-2026) on the ‘free market’:
‘The free market mythology argues that the most ruthless, selfish, opportunistic, greedy, calculating plunderers, applying the most heartless measures in cold blooded pursuit of corporate interests and wealth accumulation, will produce the best results for all of us through something called the invisible hand.’
The rise of socialism in the United States, particularly among young people, is precisely because Americans can see how ridiculous this mythology of free market capitalism is, given the deteriorating material conditions for millions of Americans, while a tiny oligarchy prospers to astronomical heights.
Socialism may be in its infancy in the United States, some who call themselves socialists may only understand it as ‘when the government provides public services’…
But the ideas of socialism in the US will snowball and mature, bringing in the ideas of places where socialism has a long tradition such as China, Russia, Latin America, and Europe.
Socialism is in its infancy in the United States, the obvious dystopian realities of late-stage capitalism in the US will only fuel its rise and maturation.
Prof. Richard Wolff on the rise of SOCIALISM in the United States🇺🇸:
‘You have to remember when you talk about the US, that for the last 70-75 years, we have lived under a regime. It is a regime that has demonised anything and everything having to do with the Soviet Union, the arch enemy, the communists, the socialists, the anarchists.
Most of my students, who are otherwise intelligent, hardworking, very good young men and women, but when you ask them about these issues, they talk as if socialism, communism, Marxism, anarchism, and many other things are synonyms. They have no concept of them beyond they’re bad, they’re foreign, they’re negative.
Therefore, for there to even be a serious socialism in this country, which there now is, is an amazing achievement. The whole country is indebted to Bernie Sanders because he broke the taboo by saying, “No, I’m not going to run away from the label socialist.” But we are in the early stages now, so it’s basically too early to answer your question beyond saying it’s very impressive how quickly it’s growing.
The latest Gallup polls in our country show that if you ask people below the age of 34, the majority now say they prefer socialism to capitalism.’

Vivek Ramaswamy is the Israel-first candidate for Ohio Governor. He’s oddly stayed mum on pending economic development policies that surrender Ohio's autonomy to Israeli interests.
Bills like HB188 and HB291 create hybrid commissions staffed with pro-Israel insiders to direct priority setting of public funded R&D at Universities, Medical Centers, and Research Hubs and tech jobs (cyber, drones, biotech) for selected FDI while choking local competition.
Lobbyist Howie Beigelman boosted these laws "will diversify our workforce"… code for importing cheap foreign labor over Ohioans (AI, semiconductors, biotech). Vivek would complete this takeover, making Ohio a vassal state of Israel.
He also hasn't touched OJC's cybersecurity mandate for all political subdivisions (ORC § 9.64) that already hides vendor contracts… no transparency on who gets deals or how they perform… likely because it's a Zionist power grab he'd secretly love to enforce as governor. His silence is consent.
Lastly, there’s SB87, adopts the IHRA antisemitism definition for state agencies. This law risks chilling free speech by raising penalties for "ethnic intimidation" riots… giving prosecutors a weapon against pro-Palestine protests under the guise of fighting antisemitism.
While Vivek hasn't publicly confirmed support for HB188, HB291 or SB87, his Israel-first track record and funding from Zionist networks suggest he backs them.
His silence is very telling…especially given his mirroring of JobsOhio rhetoric and history of scamming investors and hiding agendas.
Vivek's Zionist backers selected him to control this rigged system.

Professor John Mearsheimer:
"Listen carefully and pay close attention to what the founder of Israel, Ben-Gurion, says.
I’m going to read two quotes from him.
The first:
‘Why should the Arabs make peace?
If I were an Arab leader, I would never make an agreement with Israel under any circumstances.’
Pay attention to what he is saying here. He said, ‘If I were an Arab leader, I would never make peace with Israel.’
He then went on to say,and this is the second quote from Ben-Gurion:
‘They see only one thing: we have come here and stolen their land, so why should they accept that?!’
Here is David Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel and the founder of the State of Israel, openly saying:
‘We have stolen their land.’”

WHEN WILL SOMEONE tell the U.S. public the truth about datacenters?
The false story Americans are being force-fed says the power-gobbling tech centers are necessary to beat China, and may provide an economic boost.
An AP report on the topic was typical, referring to “a potential jobs and economic bonanza, while helping the U.S. thwart China in the geopolitical race for technological supremacy”.
What’s missing is the comparative number.
It is missing deliberately.
.
THE MISSING NUMBER
That’s because it would reveal to readers that the United States has 5,427 data centers, while China has only 449 data centers, according to the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. (The Chinese aren’t racing, focused on building good power infrastructure instead.)
The numbers show that there is no race.
The US already has an unassailable lead.
So why do they really want US citizens to give up their greenbelt? The difference is whether US “wins” by having 12 times as many datacenters as China, or “wins” by having 13 times as many as China: it is meaningless.
If the US public knew that, they would not give up their greenbelt land areas, nor their supplies of electricity and water.
.
RACE AGAINST THE WORLD
While we are looking at numbers, there’s something else to notice. At current rates of building, the US will soon have more datacenters than ALL THE OTHER COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD PUT TOGETHER. (A recent survey showed the US had 46 percent and rising.)
So if there’s a race at all, it’s a race between the US broligarchs and humanity itself. Think about that for a moment.
Meanwhile, the public is being thrown off the trail by being told that any opposition comes from China and Russia. (They can use this post as evidence, as the writer lives in China.)
But this is obviously false. Websites like datacenterwatch .org show that the opposition comes from US citizens themselves, from all sides of the political spectrum.
.
WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING
Here’s what’s really happening. The members of the wealthy elite in the US, long advantaged by their country being globally dominant, now know that the situation is changing: the growth of a multipolar world is inevitable.
But they came up with a plan. “If the world is becoming an AI tech dystopia, what if we had more AI tech power than every other country in the planet put together! We would still be in charge!” AI Planet!
Who would want to live there?
Let me end with a line attributed to Sun Tzu. It doesn’t actually appear in his famous book, but can be seen as a summary of his philosophy, which is think strategically to minimize harm to people and property:
“A bad man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes.”

"BOMBSHELL NEW UPDATE: "THE INSIDE JOB: It just got worse for Elon Musk." CREDIBILITY: DESTROYED."
On January 20, 2025, Trump signed an executive order giving Elon Musk's DOGE "full and prompt access" to every federal agency's systems. Unelected and never Senate-confirmed, Musk sent in young staffers. Edward Coristine, 19 — self-styled "Big Balls" on LinkedIn — was fired from a cybersecurity internship for leaking company data. Marko Elez, 25, received read-write access to the Treasury's payment system; the Treasury later admitted in court it was granted "inadvertently." He resigned after racist posts ("normalize Indian hate") surfaced; Musk rehired him, and Trump endorsed it.
They accessed the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which moves $6 trillion a year — 88% of all federal payments, including Social Security checks, Medicare, tax refunds, and veterans' benefits. Systems held names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, birthplaces, addresses, phones, emails, and bank details. A federal judge listed every item.
Laws violated include the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a), barring disclosure of records without written consent; 26 U.S.C. § 6103, making unauthorized taxpayer data disclosure a felony (up to 5 years); 18 U.S.C. § 1030, criminalizing unauthorized access to government computers; and the Appointments Clause (Article II, Section 2), requiring Senate confirmation for such power. Musk was never confirmed.
Connecticut's Attorney General called it "the largest data breach in U.S. history." Nineteen states sued. A federal judge called DOGE's operation "chaotic and haphazard" and ordered all copies destroyed. The Supreme Court allowed continued access to Social Security records 6-3, including medical and family court files.
In January 2026, the DOJ admitted DOGE moved sensitive Social Security data to unauthorized Cloudflare servers; the agency cannot determine what was shared or if it remains. Whistleblower Charles Borges, SSA's chief data officer, was forced to resign: 300 million Americans' records exposed — "a generational problem" and "national security risk." Unchangeable data like mother's maiden name and birthplace means permanent exposure.
The "fraud hunt" was cover; the GAO found solid evidence for only 4% of claimed savings. The same week DOGE began, Trump fired 17 inspectors general — five investigating Musk's companies.
The Labor IG had 17 open Tesla and SpaceX cases; the Agriculture IG was escorted out while probing Neuralink monkey deaths. SpaceX defense contracts then tripled to $5.9 billion. Musk co-leads the Pentagon's weapons-buying study while holding $6.4 billion in Pentagon contracts. He gutted the CFPB — which polices digital payments — while building a payments business on X.
Trump signed the order, gave Musk a White House office, endorsed the rehire, and his administration fought every lawsuit to the Supreme Court, securing the right to keep the data.
Congress must investigate with subpoenas and hearings. Democrats must not let this die. An unelected billionaire's team obtained 300 million Americans' Social Security numbers, and the sitting president held the door open.

Let’s connect some dots.
Oracle was founded in 1977. Its first major client was the CIA. The company’s name came from a CIA project code-named “Oracle.”
Co-founder Larry Ellison (Jewish by heritage, raised in a Jewish family) has been one of the largest private donors to Friends of the IDF.
In 2017 he gave $16.6 million, the largest single gift in the organization’s history at the time, on top of earlier multi-million-dollar donations, plus other support for Israeli causes and close personal ties to Netanyahu.
In 2024, Ellison described a future of AI-analyzed cameras everywhere (body cams, doorbells, dash cams, security feeds) feeding into massive data centers: “Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.”
Oracle remains deeply embedded in U.S. government work, including a recent multi-billion-dollar Pentagon software deal covering the military and intelligence community, while Ellison helps drive the $500 billion Stargate AI data-center buildout announced alongside Trump, and maintains high-level relationships in Washington and Jerusalem.
That same network now extends into the information layer. Through his son David and Oracle’s capital, the Ellison family has assembled a media portfolio that includes Paramount and CBS, is positioned to take control of Warner Bros. Discovery (CNN, HBO, and the Warner studio library), and holds a significant stake in TikTok’s U.S. operations. The result is ownership spanning major broadcast and cable news, Hollywood production and libraries, and a dominant short-form platform, acquired and expanded with the benefit of the same political access that greases the government and AI infrastructure deals.
With the surveillance infrastructure, the government contracts, the foreign military philanthropy, and the political access all converging on the same network, who do you think really shapes how our government operates? And with the media and platform reach now added to that same network, who shapes how the public perceives news and information?
The Matrix was non-fiction.

The United States has been at war somewhere for all of it's history except for a 4 year period early on.
I believe it's Obama who had a total of 7 wars going on, which is possibly a record. We gave the guy a peace prize for saying he'd end the wars.

有记者追着川普问了一个华盛顿的标准考题：
你难道忘了是普京挑起的战争吗？
这两年半里，只要有人在华盛顿问一句这场战争到底怎么收场，
对方多半就会把这个问题直接甩过来。
在演播室和听证会里，只要把责任全推给一个人，
后面的所有追问就都可以直接闭嘴了。
川普没有顺着这套考题往下答。
他回了一句：
我知道细节，总有一天我会公开这些细节。
但他紧接着补了一句：
我现在除了这一件事，其他什么都不在乎，我要让这场战争结束。
为什么川普说他知道细节？
因为战争从来不是突然从真空里掉下来的。
2021 年底，关于北约东扩的安全保证草案递到华盛顿桌上，
华盛顿的选择是直接拒绝，连谈都不谈。
2022 年 3 月，俄乌双方在伊斯坦布尔坐下来谈停火，
草案里写得清清楚楚：乌克兰保持中立，换取大国安全保障。
这篇草案连《外交事务》杂志后来都做过长篇复盘。
乌克兰谈判代表团团长阿拉哈米亚后来亲口证实，
当时英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊专门飞到基辅，
告诉他们什么协议都不要签，咱们就继续打。
和平谈判的门就这么被关上了。
门关上之后，华盛顿的剧本就只剩下一个：批钱。
美国国会前后通过了超过 1750 亿美元的援乌法案。
每一次法案过关，电视上都是震耳欲聋的正义演说。
但谁在承担代价？
在华盛顿吹着中央空调的办公室里，道德表态是零成本的。
军工企业的订单排满了，游说集团拿到了合同，
智库专家在演播室里分析地缘杠杆，
没有一个人需要穿上防弹衣去填战壕。
川普脱口甩出来的，才是前线唯一的现实：
平均每个月死两万五千名士兵。
上个月，死了三万两千人。
在上千公里的泥泞战壕里，
不管地图上的控制线往哪个方向挪了两公里，
每天都有一千多名年轻人被炮火撕碎。
华盛顿的官僚把这叫作削弱地缘对手的廉价手段；
对普通的乌克兰和俄罗斯家庭来说，
这是每天收到的阵亡通知书。
华盛顿的既得利益圈层需要的是一场无限期的道德审判，
只要把正义的口号喊得足够大声，
就没有人去查那一千多亿美元到底怎么花的，
也没有人去问战前那几次明明可以避免冲突的机会为什么全被放弃了。
华盛顿的演播室可以继续背诵道德台词。
但如果这份正义每个月要拿三万多具年轻人的尸体来垫底，
那摆在所有人面前最紧迫的事情只有一件：
把这场流血停下来。

Stranger than fiction.
"What does Katie Zacharia’s husband Tyler have to do with the CIA guy who was arrested with 303 gold bars under his bed and $2 million in cash and 35 gold Rolexes and Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg and Jeffrey Epstein?
Poor Tyler would have retained the relative obscurity of being just another guy in “the entertainment business” out in Los Angeles if his wife hadn’t tanked so badly on her first day of being Trump’s latest blonde press secretary.
He didn’t have that luck, however. Almost immediately, it emerged that while Tyler and Katie were over in China, he was working for Schulze Global Investments, which it turned out had made a series of loans to North Korean companies during Tyler’s tenure at the firm, although “published reporting does not connect Zacharia personally to those transactions,” as Newsweek put it gently in a story that came out yesterday.
Tyler is now working for something called 2521 Entertainment, where his bio notes that he “helped build teams” in North Korea while working in China.
Man, that’s something to have on your CV, isn’t it? Helping to fund mining in North Korea?
It gets better. In 2018, Cerberus Capital Management, founded by the aforementioned Steve Feinberg, acquired SGI Frontier Capital, the firm that Schulze Global turned itself into.
Readers with sharp memories for scandal will recall Feinberg from his multiple appearances in the Epstein files, along with his firm Cerberus, which appears in no less than 360 Epstein files in relation to helping to fund Epstein enterprises with guarantees by Deutsche Bank, which of course was Donald Trump’s lender of last resort before he ran for president in 2016.
Elizabeth Warren is currently involved in probing the connections between Epstein’s money movements and major banks, including Deutsche Bank, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and JP Morgan Chase.
Nice group of thieves to get mentioned with, huh?
JP Morgan Chase paid $290 million to a group of Epstein survivors who alleged that the bank had ignored multiple red flags in Epstein money transfers that may have been linked to his sex trafficking activities.
Feinberg, veteran of the Epstein files, was on Trump’s Intelligence Advisory Board in Trump’s first term, where he apparently met the 303 gold bar guy, David Rush, who was a CIA agent involved in the agency’s Directorate of Science and Technology, which Feinberg allegedly took a “special interest” in."

Peter Thiel spent about $10 million in secret to wipe out a media company that had outed him. His weapon was Hulk Hogan's sex tape.
In the video below, Thiel explains why he did it.
"If you make a sex tape of someone with their permission, you are a pornographer. If you make a sex tape without their permission, we were told, now you are a journalist."
It started in 2007. A Gawker blog ran a headline: "Peter Thiel is totally gay, people." He later called that blog the Silicon Valley equivalent of Al Qaeda.
In 2012, Gawker posted a clip of Hulk Hogan having sex with his best friend's wife.
Hogan sued. Nobody knew who was paying his lawyers.
In 2016 a Florida jury awarded him $140 million. Gawker went bankrupt and was sold for $135 million.
Only then did the name come out. Thiel said it was "less about revenge and more about specific deterrence," and called it "one of my greater philanthropic things that I've done."
Hogan settled for $31 million. Thiel's name never came up at the trial.
About $10 million in legal fees, and a company that spent years exposing the rich was gone.
Was it justice for a man whose bedroom was put on the internet, or a billionaire using his money to kill the press?

🚨🚨🚨 I want you to realize how good the stagecraft of Butler was. I know several of the photographers who were there a couple of them Pulitzer winners, before and after.
They shot what they saw, including one of them, capturing a bullet in thin air because he was using such high shutter speed.
But these people who created this kabuki are filmmakers they’re television producers they know how to fool the eye with special effects. I’ve been producer my whole life. I know what it takes and the more you watch it the more you know it has to be fake. I mean Trump is such a coward, watch him flinch when the plane flew over recently.
I was covering a Trump rally a few weeks before also in Pennsylvania and exactly the same physical situation. It was a farm in the middle of nowhere with one building one story high and when you look at the two locations, they look the same. This was in Schnecksville. Identical layout to Butler.
I believe that was a rehearsal just like I believe that the first two stop the steal rallies were the rehearsal for January 6

🚨Vivek, JobsOhio, HB188, HB291 and the trillion-dollar question: What happens if AI returns disappoint? 🤖💥
Ohio is steering economic-development resources toward AI/computer technology and semiconductors/microelectronics… two sectors at the heart of the hyperscaler spending spree. Both show high-to-very-high average H-1B intensity in the occupational data.
The Bank for International Settlements has compared the AI investment race to past railway, electrification, and dot-com booms. The technologies were real. The danger was overinvestment and returns that failed to justify the spending.
The five largest hyperscalers were projected to spend more than $1 trillion on AI-related investment across 2025–26. If revenues disappoint, financing could retreat sharply. Semiconductor demand is tied to the same buildout, while power and infrastructure constraints compound the exposure.
And Ohio is building more than an incentive pipeline. It’s building a strategic technology ecosystem.
➤ HB 188 creates an Ohio-Israel Trade and Innovation Partnership. Proponent testimony explicitly anticipates products with “dual-use” applications… technology serving both civilian and military purposes.
➤ HB 291 would promote international trade and joint research, including electronic and cyber warfare. It also lets the commission accept corporate, government, and institutional funding… and use funds to buy foreign-government bonds, with interest supporting grants, loans, and trade activities. Qualifying bonds (Israel) funding Ohio megaprojects could receive below-market rates. International money, foreign debt, subsidized megaprojects. Who benefits…”and who bears the risk?
Together with JobsOhio’s targeted sectors, these initiatives raise broader questions about how Ohio connects economic development, international partnerships, workforce investment, civilian infrastructure, and defense-related technology.
Now add Vivek Ramaswamy, whose business interests overlap several targeted sectors, including AI, semiconductors, data centers, energy, and biotechnology. As governor, he would appoint JobsOhio board members and influence the state’s economic-development agenda.
The convergence deserves scrutiny.
Public money is flowing into AI and semiconductor sectors that central banks already flag for possible sharp investment reversals. The same governor who would appoint the JobsOhio board… and shape an International Trade Commission that includes foreign designees, accepts foreign and corporate funding, and can buy foreign bonds to support megaprojects and dual-use research…already holds portfolio stakes in the exact Super Sectors these vehicles target. HB 188 adds a dedicated Ohio-Israel partnership on top.
That’s a closed loop with foreign and insider nodes built in.
These technologies may deliver enormous benefits. But technological promise doesn’t guarantee commercial returns… or protect taxpayers from sunk costs and underused infrastructure.
Private investors can chase the upside. Ohioans deserve transparency about the downside before public money is committed.
