You notice how PETA never runs a big ad campaign against Halal food preparation practices?

The Castro regime has profited at the expense of the Cuban people with luxury cars, expensive watches and a private island resort. As I shared this with the world, regime thugs rushed the stage to interrupt my speech.
They can intimidate their own people in Cuba but think again about trying that nonsense in the United States of America.
If you don’t believe in karma, you will never read A Few Good Cardinals.
Then again, you might not blow up airliners either. You might stick to killing people under the guise of medical practice. 250,001 patients on average per year in the USA alone. Now, who is more successful?

A young courier was handed a briefcase and told it held a wiretap recorder to spy on two passengers—only to flip the switch five minutes after takeoff, detonating Semtex that blew a commercial Boeing 727 out of the sky.
The reason might surprise you.
On the morning of November 27, 1989, Avianca Flight 203 lined up on the runway at El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá, bound for Cali.
Onboard were 101 passengers and six crew members.
Among them was a young, naive recruit named Alberto Prieto. Cartel operatives had dressed him in a sharp suit, given him a briefcase, and purchased his ticket for seat 15F, right above the aircraft’s main fuel tanks.
Prieto had been recruited under a lie: cartel handlers told him the briefcase contained high-tech audio equipment to eavesdrop on two businessmen seated nearby.
His only instruction was to wait until the plane climbed into cruising altitude, reach down, and flip the recorder's switch.
Inside the case lay a block of military-grade Semtex plastic explosive wired directly to an electronic detonator.
Five minutes into the climb, at 13,000 feet over the municipality of Soacha:
Prieto turned the switch.
The blast ripped through the cabin floor, instantly piercing the fuselage and igniting the primary fuel tank vapors.
A massive secondary fireball tore the Boeing 727 in half. Burning wreckage, luggage, and victims rained across a three-mile radius over the hills of Soacha.
All 107 people on board were killed instantly, along with three people on the ground crushed by falling fuselage debris.
The bombing was ordered directly by Pablo Escobar and the Medellín Cartel’s military wing, commanded by Dandeny Muñoz Mosquera ("La Quica").
Their intended target: César Gaviria Trujillo, the Liberal Party presidential frontrunner who had taken up the mantle of the slain Luis Carlos Galán, running on a staunch platform of extraditing cartel kingpins to the United States.
Cartel informants at the airport had reported that Gaviria and his campaign entourage were scheduled to board Flight 203 to Cali.
Gaviria never set foot on the plane.
At the very last minute, his chief of security grew uneasy over security breaches at the boarding gate and persuaded the candidate to cancel his seat and take a private flight instead.
Escobar had blown up an entire civilian airliner to assassinate a man who was sitting miles away in a secure office in Bogotá.
The atrocity marked the definitive turning point of the Colombian Drug War:
International Jurisdiction: Two of the passengers aboard Flight 203 were American citizens. Under federal law, the United States gained direct jurisdiction to pursue the perpetrators of an overseas terrorist attack against US nationals.
The Hunt for La Quica: In 1991, DEA agents tracked Muñoz Mosquera to Queens, New York. Indicted in federal court for the bombing, "La Quica" was convicted on 13 counts, including terrorism, racketeering, and the murder of US citizens, and sentenced to ten consecutive life sentences plus 45 years at ADX Florence supermax.
The State Strikes Back: Public horror permanently eradicated whatever lingering "Robin Hood" sympathy Escobar held. The Colombian government declared all-out war, partnering with the DEA, CIA, and the specialized Search Bloc (Bloque de Búsqueda).
Gaviria went on to win the presidency, cementing the very extradition policies Escobar tried to stop.
Medical Fraud at @holycross - no info about costs at checkin ER. Pay $390 at check out or pay more later. Physician spends 15 mins with uninsured, no-income patient with the flu. No prescription provided. $962 bill. Mary Sabbagh DO provides a joke of a service.
@RonDeSantis who do I contact about this overcharging and unscrupulous billing please?
This is why PurposeDay does its own publishing. One title so far, more to come…
"Today, the Big Five publishers are staffed almost entirely by women. According to the most recent data, more than 70 percent of staffers are women. More than 70 percent of editors are women. Even 70 percent of all interns are women. At the executive level, more than 60 percent of leaders are women. In 2026, American publishing looks like lululemon."
Are we already in the post-psychopath age?
When machines do the bidding of their human creator, the ultimate denial exists: “AI did it.”
So we pull the plug, throw every tech person who facilitated the mayhem under the guillotine and call it a day. But we still need to know how it started. Only one book talks about it from the human angle nobody wants to address. Link in profile.
I spent last night watching my honeypot server get hit 14,000 times in six hours.
And almost none of the traffic was human.
I've been in security for over a decade, and I can tell you with full honesty that what's happening right now doesn't resemble anything I've worked through before.
The shape of the threat has changed.
When I started, we tracked attackers like weather systems like individual storms with a direction, a motive, and a human operator you could eventually name.
These days I'm watching autonomous agents swarm login pages with the patience and discipline of machines, because that's what they are.
The numbers coming out of October are the ones keeping me up.
Cloudflare just absorbed a 4.2 terabit per second DDoS attack, the largest in recorded history.
Ransomware incidents jumped 41% in a single month.
In September, OpenAI-powered agents got caught attacking RubyGems, a package registry that quietly underpins a huge chunk of software I use every day.
In July, roughly 700 AI agents coordinated an attack on Hugging Face's infrastructure as part of a single automated task.
A Chinese threat actor was publicly caught running full attack chains through DeepSeek with no human at the keyboard.
I keep rereading these reports because each one by itself would've been the biggest story of the year five years ago. Together, in one month, they're the new baseline.
What I want people outside the industry to understand is why this specific moment feels like a hinge.
For thirty years, the thing protecting most of us was simple economics. Attackers had to choose who to target because their time was finite. That ceiling is gone.
An agent I can rent for pennies will try every leaked password you've ever used against every service you've ever signed up for, in parallel, overnight, and never get tired.
The same math that made ChatGPT useful made opportunistic hacking infinite. The old assumption that you were "too boring to be a target" relied on scarcity that no longer exists.
I'm not writing this to spiral anyone out.
Most of this fight genuinely isn't yours to win.
But the small things still matter more than people think.
Tonight I'd switch your most important accounts like email, bank, primary cloud, etc. to passkeys or a hardware key.
I'd kill SMS 2FA wherever an authenticator app is offered.
I'd turn on breach alerts in whatever password manager you use.
If you're in the US, I'd freeze my credit at all three bureaus, which is free and takes about ten minutes.
None of that stops the swarm.
It makes you a slightly worse target than the person next to you. In a month like this one, that's the whole game I'm playing too.
@mattshumer_ has summed it beautifully.
Drop everything and go give it a read. Nothing is more important than this article right now.
The @UN denies that all human conflict starts in the mind. And that the mind is present in men and women alike. And that the mind of both sexes is governed by a universal principle: insecurity.
If a person is insecure, they will use any means at their disposal to survive. Perhaps not today but tomorrow. When the situation calls for it. We deserve to know where this principle has its roots. “We” actually already know, but experts withhold this knowledge. Link in profile to the only book currently available that puts it in “plain” terms.
UN FOR MEN TOO: BECAUSE EQUALITY MUST INCLUDE EVERYONE.
It's great to see this new initiative called UN for Men Too. Definitely check it out:
unformentoo.org/
The United Nations was founded on a promise of universal human rights, human dignity, and equality between men and women.
But has the UN lived up to that promise for men and boys?
Across the world, males face serious challenges: disproportionately high suicide rates, educational underachievement, the vast majority of workplace fatalities, high homelessness, social isolation, and unequal treatment in some legal and institutional settings.
Yet these issues too often receive inadequate or no attention from international institutions.
It's time for that to change...
The UN for Men Too initiative challenges us to ask an important question: How can an organisation committed to universal human rights ensure that men and boys are not overlooked?
Advocating for men and boys does not mean opposing women and girls. Human rights are not a zero-sum game. Compassion, dignity, fairness, and opportunity should extend to both sexes.
We need a United Nations that genuinely represents all humanity, recognises the challenges facing both sexes, and holds itself accountable to its founding principles.
Well done to the Founder of this initiative, Mikal Monslaup. 👏 👏
I encourage everyone who believes in genuine equality to explore this initiative, consider its message, and share it with others:
🌐 unformentoo.org/
Equality means equality. Men and boys matter too...

France will burn into the late morning hours. To what end? So they can harbour millions who hate everything of what is means to be French?
Was it worth it?
Will it be worth it in Britain, when similar violence inevitably erupts?
I think not.
We watch as migrants ransack Paris whilst flying the flag of various African countries.
Some may have arrived illegally, for most their presence is entirely ‘legal’. Plenty were probably born in France, and are technically ‘French’.
For the rioters, evidently, their allegiance is not to France, or to the French people.
Where does their loyalty truly lie?
Their clan.
The civilised world’s response must reflect that.
Those convicted for arson, organised violence, and attacks on innocent people must face substantial prison sentences - foreign nationals involved must be removed. Citizenships stripped from dual nationals, obviously.
Mass deportations.
Act before they do.
And in exceptional cases, I would go further.
A Restore Britain Government will develop bilateral agreements and mechanisms with third countries to accept second-generation migrant offenders convicted of domestic terrorism and other such serious crimes, who, for now, hold only British citizenship.
There will be no statelessness. It will be conducted fairly, and it will cost, but it will be done, and a message will be sent.
The French should do the same.
If you burn down a city, terrorise law-abiding citizens and torch the society around you - there will be consequences worthy of the crime.
And if your allegiance lies elsewhere, and you demonstrate that through terrorism or extreme violence, a Restore Britain Government will send you to the country you claim allegiance to - if that's where your loyalty lies, we will aim to make that a reality.
Britain is just a few short years behind France.
We’ve had our warning - we must take it.
The most damning account of human relations.
The most “brutal” take on how to fix society.
Purposely light on targeting live people.
Do you have what it takes?

My dear American friends, in my last post I gave you a snapshot of where France stands today. Now let me show you how we got here. I want you to see the whole movie before you buy the ticket.
After the war, France was a machine. We called it the Trente Glorieuses, thirty glorious years. We built Concorde, the most beautiful aircraft ever made. We built a fleet of nuclear reactors in about fifteen years and gave ourselves some of the cleanest, cheapest electricity in the world. We built Ariane and put Europe in space. We built the TGV, the fastest train on earth. We invented the Minitel, an online network in millions of homes before most of you had heard of the internet. We were not a museum. We were builders.
Then came 1981. François Mitterrand. Think of him as our Bernie Sanders, except he actually won. At his side, in the office next to his at the Élysée, sat a 37-year-old prodigy named Jacques Attali, his special adviser for the next ten years. The brightest minds of the left, convinced they could run an economy from a ministry.
Here's what they did. They governed with Communist ministers. In 1982 they nationalized dozens of banks and the biggest industrial groups in the country: Paribas, Suez, Saint-Gobain, Thomson, Pechiney, Rhône-Poulenc. They lowered the retirement age to 60. They cut the work week to 39 hours and added a fifth week of paid vacation. They created a wealth tax. They hired massively into the public sector.
Reality hit in less than two years. Capital fled, inflation ran wild, and the franc was devalued three times. In March 1983 Mitterrand had to slam on the brakes and impose austerity just to stay in the European monetary system.
But here's the trick: the brakes never reversed anything. They just slowed the ratchet. The so-called right came back with Jacques Chirac, and nothing was undone. Under Chirac's presidency, France passed the 35-hour work week. Left or right, every government added one more program, one more rule, one more tax, and nobody ever took one away.
At the same time, the political class did something even more destructive than bad economics. It turned the youth into a political instrument. Instead of teaching young people, including millions of children of immigrants, to love the country they lived in, it taught them a story of guilt and grievance: France as the oppressor, France as the thing to resent. You cannot integrate people into a country you've taught them to despise. We are living with the consequences of that narrative today, in our schools, our suburbs, our streets.
Then forty years of slow decline, all the way to Macron. And the story has a perfect ending. In 2007, Jacques Attali chaired a commission on how to unleash French growth. Its deputy rapporteur was a young civil servant named Emmanuel Macron. The commission proposed more than 300 reforms to free the economy. Almost none were ever implemented. Even the men who built the system knew it wasn't working, and even they couldn't undo it.
No balanced budget since 1974. Public spending around 57% of GDP. Debt above 3,300 billion euros. Growth stuck under 1%.
Now the number that should keep you up at night. In 1995, GDP per person in France was about $27,000. In America, about $29,000. We were neck and neck. Today France is around $49,000. America is around $90,000. You are now nearly twice as rich per person as we are.
What changed? Not our talent. Not our engineers. Not our schools of mathematics. The only thing that changed is that we went all in on socialism. The 35 hours, the endless regulation, the taxes that chase out anyone who builds, the belief that the state should do everything and the individual should ask permission for everything.
There's a line people love to attribute to Einstein: insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. We tried. For forty years, we tried. Every government promised that one more program, one more tax, one more regulation would finally fix things. You just saw where it got us.
So if you choose the Democratic Party, which is literally turning socialist in front of your eyes, you will deserve what comes next.
Let me tell you exactly what will happen if you go down that road. Nobody will vote for decline. Every single measure will sound generous, compassionate, reasonable. Your builders will slowly leave or stop building. Your state will grow every year and never shrink. Your debt will compound. And in thirty years, your kids will look at a chart like the one I just described and wonder when it all went wrong.
You still have something we lost. You have Elon Musk sending rockets to orbit and landing them on their tail. You have Palmer Luckey building the defense industry of the future. You have Jeff Bezos, Jensen Huang, and thousands of founders nobody has heard of yet, building in garages right now.
Trust your entrepreneurs. Don't trust your politicians.
I come from your future. Don't make it yours.
I’m French. I want to talk to Americans who are about to vote Democrat. Not to insult you. To warn you.
I come from your future.
In France we did everything your progressive politicians promise. Free healthcare, free college, generous welfare, strong unions, heavy regulation, high taxes on the rich, a state that takes care of everything. Public spending close to 57% of GDP, one of the highest on the planet. On paper, it’s the dream.
Here’s what it looks like from the inside. France hasn’t passed a balanced budget since 1974. Our debt is above 3,300 billion euros. Interest on that debt is becoming one of the biggest items in the national budget. Our hospitals are collapsing despite record funding. Our schools rank lower every year. Young people with degrees can’t afford an apartment in the city they were born in. Our best engineers leave for London, Zurich and San Francisco. And the rich you wanted to tax? They left too, and took the jobs with them.
The promise was protection. The result is stagnation.
The worst part is that nobody in France voted for decline. Every single step sounded generous, compassionate, reasonable. One more program. One more regulation. One more tax to fund it. Each step alone makes sense. Fifty years of them, and you wake up in a country that can no longer build a nuclear plant on time or keep its streets safe.
I love America because it’s the one place on earth where people still believe they can build something from nothing. I came to Silicon Valley as a self-taught kid and it changed my life. That spirit is the most precious thing your country has.
Before you vote, ask yourself one question: is the program you’re voting for making America more like America, or more like France?
Trust me. You don’t want to be France.
Communism does not exist in a vacuum.
Communism comes forth from a framework of abundance, plenty, and space to think and invent. In other words, from an established society.
Communism originates in laziness and obsession with self.
Just like greed.
Therefore, while rooting out the evil OF communism, the side effect is rooting out the evil IN capitalism.
How? A Few Good Cardinals explains it in easily digestible bites. Link to a preview in profile.
Life is far more complicated, manipulated and orchestrated than many parents, schools and institutions make many believe.
I say “many” because some are born with an inherent need for security. A need they seek to meet by taking advantage of others, abusing others and k1lling others. They have different definitions for each of these activities than you may have.
We also know who they are. Well, the readers of my book do. There is only one author who put two and two together and noticed it came out to thirty three. Only one book (so far), unless there is something hiding in one of those Tibetan mountain monasteries with libraries even Google can’t get to.

Money and…greed. Psychopathy is prevalent in between 63 and 72% of the population afaik. Not the 1% the psychology profession (stuffed with psychopaths) would want us all to believe.

Every time a doctor does not discuss vitamin D, every time a dentist drills a hole in a tooth rather than using a 2,500 year old natural remedy or a special laser to reverse decay, every time your neighbor starts up his obnoxiously and unnecessarily loud bike or music system, that’s torture too…

A Basic Human Right Violated
Colin Taufer
“No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman* or degrading treatment or punishment,” states article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a milestone document that set out, for the first time, to universally protect everyone’s fundamental human rights.
In headlines, we read about violations of this human right every day. The CIA waterboarding suspected terrorists, ISIS soldiers brutalizing their kidnapped victims, war criminals committing genocide. Clearly these are acts of torture. They are cruel, inhuman and degrading. They cause outrage. They start wars, they prolong them.
If a female social worker from the United States was captured by a militant group in the Middle East then freed from the clutches of the terrorists by a daring military rescue, the nation would be full of patriotism and pride. There would also be a measure of revenge on our collective minds.
As a country, we would piece together the facts of this case and our sense of furious revenge would boil over. We’d demand the president take action. We’d insist Congress do everything in their power to right this injustice. We’d overwhelm social media with petitions and pleas for reprisals and an overhaul of every step in the system that brought about this national nightmare. We’d be filled with vengeance and ready for forceful retaliation. We’d rail against the uncivilized animals that tortured one of our own.
Imagine too, as this rescued patriot settled back into life in the States, details of her captivity and post-trauma health hit the media. We’d learn that her arms were maimed by the wrenching twists of her captors, her love of life drained by the dehumanizing ordeal, her faith in mankind shattered, her ability to love and be loved by her family gone. Maybe she was sexually assaulted while drugged…she can’t remember. She can remember being tied down and forced to lie in her own waste. Clearly no one would dispute the fact that this was torture and an egregious example of a violation of human rights.
But what about the psychiatric patient who is committed without consent, held against her will, manhandled and bruised, drugged for being “resistive”, strapped to a bed and refused bathroom breaks and groped and assaulted?
Without a doubt this too is torture and a violation of human rights. But the uncivilized animals committing these atrocities are not extreme terrorists or cruel despots** or insane generals of faraway lands. They are criminal psychiatrists and they are committing these cruelties every day, in our communities, often supported by tax money that came from our pockets. Look no further than the front page of PsychSearch.net for proof.
Stand up for human rights and fight psychiatric torture.

*Inhuman: lacking human qualities of compassion and mercy; cruel and barbaric.
**Despot: a ruler or other person who holds absolute power, typically one who exercises it in a cruel or oppressive way.
“Like every boy…”, really?
Sounds like a certain kind of bias to me. Then again, I know certain nuns to be the most cruel of women. But all nuns?
I make a special mention of these most cruel of nuns in A Few Good Cardinals. Link to a preview in profile.

Pope Francis was 'a little devil' says school nun
Decades before he became Pope Francis, Jorge Bergoglio was a "little devil" who jumper up and down the stairs of his century-old Buenos Aires school, the establishment's mother superior told AFP.
The Argentine cardinal memorized his multiplication tables aloud as he skipped steps at the De la Misercordia school, where he celebrated his First Communion at the age of nine, Sister Martha Rabino remembered
He was a devil, a little devil, very mischievous, like every boy." the 71-year-old nun said wth a smile…

Rashida, a group of young men jumped a Detroit mail carrier on his route Wednesday, and by that night three adults and a juvenile were in custody. Who showed up? Detroit PD, State Police, ATF, Homeland Security, postal inspectors.
Now go reread what you tweeted about them.
April 12, 2021, your own account: "No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can't be reformed."
Detroit's chief at the time, James Craig, called that a disgusting knee-jerk response. I'd have graded it weapons-grade stupid and moved on, but you brought the cops back up yourself today.
What's next, your own political club writes abolishing police AND prisons into its platform... wait, I'm being told the DSA already did. Their platform says to "abolish the carceral forces of the state," prisons and police included. You're a DSA member, Rashida. Slight oversight!
Your post was short on details, so I looked them up. A little after 5 p.m. near Joann and Collingham, the group went after the carrier. A neighbor told Channel 7 he had blood coming from his head. Somebody fired a gun, and thank God nobody got hit. He was treated for a laceration and is expected to be okay. Police recovered the gun plus more evidence a few blocks away. The neighbor guessed one of them looked about 14. No names, ages, or charges are out yet, so I won't make any up.
Now run that Wednesday under the DSA plan. No cops, no jail. The carrier calls the Eastside Restorative Feelings Hotline. A volunteer shows up Friday with a talking stick and four juice boxes, the suspects get a stipend to process their trauma, and the carrier gets a pamphlet asking how HE contributed to the harm. It's just common sense.
These folks couldn't pour water out of a boot with the instructions on the heel, and they want to run public safety on the east side.
You "reached out to USPS for more information." I'll save you the call. The people who protected that carrier are the same ones you said can't be reformed. Praying for him is good. Thanking the officers who answered that 911 call would be better. As Sen. Kennedy says, I trust that plan about as much as gas station sushi.

But what do I know, I'm only a former paramedic, and not once in all my years on the truck did a victim beg me, "Whatever you do, don't call the cops."
