Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself into slavery.

I recorded this today, in Portland, Oregon, at a huge march to the ICE facility in SW. The crowd was full of cyclists who had ridden there in memory of Alex Pretti; members of several labor unions; and ordinary citizens of every age, including this little girl. So of course ICE deployed tear gas.

Such a time of mediocre people feathering their own nests.
In 50 years time when they study this period at universities one of the key take aways will be the role the media played in normalising criminality and abandoning their social contract.

I found out from someone’s VPN in Singapore that local age verification is now required. I will ask them to check NZ. UK + Europe think it’s a good idea. It will be weaponised by grok to keep track of who is a likely subversive by the content they consume. It was a substack about epstein.

The most interesting thing in this to me (don’t find anything with ON interesting) is the 16% Trump thing. If this wasn’t from a group I really trust (Kos Samaras etc) I’d question did Trump end up there cuz he was simply mentioned or was he a choice (and why)? Not sure if it’s quirky or disturbing.
