Draining the Swamp? Is that even possible?
An Analysis of Dwight Eisenhower's and Joe Biden's Ominous Warnings, Assassinations of JFK, MLK, and RFK
Eisenhower's farewell address was less a goodbye and more a dire warning wrapped in a well-tailored suit beware the military-industrial complex, or it will eat democracy for breakfast. If you've ever wondered why we've got a massive military, a gargantuan intelligence apparatus, and endless wars, Ike wasn't just whistling past the graveyard. The deep state was born on his watch, as the Cold War made paranoia the new national pastime, and every shadow was a communist. But Eisenhower knew that once the gears of war and surveillance are oiled, they start grinding democracy into dust.
Then came the JFK, MLK, and RFK murders trifecta of political assassinations aimed at rocking the nation to its knees and pointing out the seamiest aspects of the U.S. government. If you like the official version of history, JFK was killed by a lone nut with a rifle, and so was MLK, while RFK was stopped by another lone nut with a grudge. Scratch that surface, and you realize perhaps, just perhaps, that something's a bit too tidy. How handy for the powers that be when those annoying men with ideas like civil rights and anti-war start keeping their mouths shut permanently. Coincidence? Or textbook case of weaponized government?

In 1984, George Orwell describes a book within the novel called "The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism by Emmanuel Goldstein," which is said to be bound in red leather. The book is subversive--a means through which one might see a description of the Party's philosophy and mechanisms in the text, an essential tool Winston used in his rebellion against the totalitarian regime.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. With a rubber-stamped approved permit to do so.
Underneath the captivating rhetoric of media, academia, and activism in social justice, there lies a disheartening reality: the structures and agencies of this ideology are, at best, failing and, at worst, actively betraying its values. It is systemic co-option rather than an isolated missed opportunity. Global elites, with their web of foundations, think tanks, and closed clubs, hijack movements that should be a force against power structures. What was once considered an absolute radical critique of inequality and oppression has now been twisted to serve as the means of sustaining that very system.

Modern Feminism Chants Equality Ad infinitum While Promoting Misandry
A Cultural Revolution at the Hands of Covert Influence
The very fabric of modern civilization is inculcated with the contributions of legions of people, mostly men, whose innovations have shaped the world we live in today. From the dawn of agriculture to the space age, men have driven technological, scientific, medical, and economic progress. Yet, over the recent decades, a concerted effort has been to undermine and marginalize the historical importance of male achievements. It is not organic; it's contrived, secretive, impelled in part by intelligence agencies--the CIA included. The rise of feminism, particularly in its second-wave manifestation during the 1960s and 1970s, has been manipulated in ways that have not only advanced the cause of gender inequality but have simultaneously worked to undermine traditional masculine roles, devalue male innovation, and stifle creativity in male-dominated fields.
The article examines the secret operations, such as the CIA's Operation Mockingbird and its influence on the press, that have formed a crutch for feminist history. It will also look at how this narrative has minimized male contributions in every significant field of human endeavor--from agriculture, medicine, space exploration, and engineering to animal husbandry, ranching, and food production--and fostered a culture of misandry that has managed to alienate men and remove their sense of purpose. We will have to engage in a deep historical, scientific, and cultural analysis to learn how much male-driven progress has been systemically erased, and we argue that this urgent balance must come forth in societal recognition of both male and female contributions.

Do their red ties blind these politicians (Listed below), or are they not just enemies of California? Are they purveyors of a globalist agenda, a term used to describe a set of policies that prioritize international cooperation and trade over national interests, seeking to dismantle the United States's economic underpinnings?
They are playing a dangerous game by attempting to deny disaster relief to a state that drives America's prosperity, where millions of American lives are merely pawns to be sacrificed at the altar of narrow ideological gain. To what end? Is it to sabotage the fifth-largest economy in the world, erode American sovereignty, and hand over leverage to foreign interests, all while peddling rhetoric that masks their true intentions? In their reckless pursuit of short-term political power, they threaten the long-term stability of the US economy, proving themselves loyal not to the American people but to a globalist elite that thrives on chaos and decline.

Dear Friends,
I am as tired of challenging and distressing news as you. Today there is a treat instead. The treat is “the Tall Texan,” the American pianist Van Cliburn playing Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto at the first Soviet international competition in Moscow in 1958, which Van Cliburn won. Khrushchev, the General Secretary of the Communist Party, was present as was Mikoyan. You will see them applauding.

After the performances, the judges approached Khrushchev, the ruling General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and asked if they might give the prize to Van Cliburn. Khrushchev asked the judges, “Was he the best?” The judges said, “yes.” “Then give him the prize.” The Soviet conductor could easily have ruined Van Cliburn’s performance, but he did not and the two went on together to make recordings. Today the sanctions would prevent both Van Cliburn’s performance and the subsequent recordings.

North Dakota is staunchly conservative, having voted Republican in every presidential election since Lyndon Johnson in 1964. So how is it that the state boasts the only state-owned bank in the nation? Has it secretly gone socialist?
No. The Bank of North Dakota (BND) operates on the same principles as any capitalist bank, except that its profits and benefits serve the North Dakota public rather than private investors and executives. The BND provides a unique, innovative model, in which public ownership is leveraged to enhance the workings of the private sector. It invests in and supports private enterprise — local businesses, agriculture, and economic development – the core activities of a capitalist system where private property and enterprise are central. Across the country, small businesses are now failing at increasingly high rates, but that’s not true in North Dakota, which was rated by Forbes Magazine the best state in which to start a business in 2024.
The BND was founded in 1919, when North Dakota farmers rose up against the powerful out-of-state banking-railroad-granary cartel that was unfairly foreclosing on their farms. They formed the Non-Partisan League, won an election, and founded the state’s own bank and granary, both of which are still active today.
The BND operates within the private financial market, working alongside private banks rather than replacing them. It provides loans and other banking services, primarily to other banks, local governments, and state agencies, which then lend to or invest in private sector enterprises. It operates with a profit motive, with profits either retained as capital to increase the bank’s loan capacity or returned to the state’s general fund, supporting public projects, education, and infrastructure.
According to the BND website, more than $1 billion had been transferred to the state’s general fund and special programs through 2018, most of it in the previous decade. That is a substantial sum for a state with a population that is only about one-fifteenth the size of Los Angeles County.
The BND actually beats private banks at their own game, generating a larger return on equity (ROE) for its public citizen-owners than even the largest Wall Street banks return to their private investors.

Mental health care has always been in conflict and dispute, struggling with deep-seated cultural perceptions, changing medical practices, and a growing tide of mighty industry profit. What is often portrayed as an altruistic mission of healing and support is, in many instances, steeped in a long history of exploitation, control, and harm. From the days of crude bloodletting to corporate-driven over-medication of vulnerable people, one sees how, time and again, the mental health industry has failed to live up to its ethical obligations. This article tries to look into these disturbing histories and present practices to see how mental illness has been commodified, manipulated, and even weaponized for profit. At the same time, millions of people are still marginalized, labeled, and left to suffer.
Every large extended family has an eccentric person, Alzheimer’s patient, or a Type-A driven high achiever, or an Obsessive-Compulsive controller, etc. The stigmatization today is far worse, thanks to Big Pharma and Health Care Corporations raking in obscene profits and running astroturf “community-based” pill-pusher movements.

Like the Republican Party whose senators will make Pete Hegseth the next U.S. Secretary of War, Hegseth is a bad joke. The Democratic minority in the horribly unrepresentative Senate is a joke you might hear at an amateur mic night.
Hegseth is a guy who has reportedly shouted “Kill all Muslims.” Nobody asked him if he had done that or if he agreed with it — not even when he claimed to have been labeled an extremist purely for having a Christian tattoo. He’s a guy who has told troops in Iraq to disobey an order and shoot on sight rather than only when threatened. No senator asked who was included in acceptable targets or why. He’s said the Geneva Conventions should be ignored. One Republican senator asked him how many pushups he could do and how many human genders there are.
Several asked if he’d be sure to spend a lot on weapons. (He would.) While Hegseth denounces government spending and has appeared in photographs wearing “Big Government Sucks” on his chest, on Tuesday he repeatedly claimed — falsely and laughably — that Congress had cut military spending during Biden’s years in the White House. Asked by Senate Armed “Services” Chairman Roger Wicker if spending less than 3% of GDP on militarism endangered the United States (Wicker seemed to falsely suggest that the United States does spend less than that) Hegseth agreed.

The real question in the 21st century is not "Are we living in a simulation?" but "Are we living in a prison?" Welcome to the Digital Matrix-a highly interconnected web of surveillance, AI, predictive analytics, and corporate greed that seeks to trap every aspect of our lives for profit. While in the movie version of The Matrix, human beings were physically plugged into an artificial simulation, the real Digital Matrix operates invisibly through our devices, the networks we navigate, and the data we provide. It feeds into an ecosystem in which your smartphone, laptop, credit card transactions, and patterns on social media coagulate in effect to serve and reinforce control-pervasive and insidious, franken-dystopian constructions more nightmarish than any Hollywood ever dreamed of.
This exposé explores this digital prison that is set up and well-developed by pivotal entities such as Palantir, Google, Apple, Boeing, NSA, Mossad Unit 8200, Amazon, Microsoft, and many others. It's not just a data collection; they use it to control you. The question is no longer if we are being watched but how much of our lives are being analyzed, commodified, and sold back to us, masquerading as "convenience" and "innovation." The world of Surveillance Control Capitalism is here already, and it is in full bloom.
