I'm grateful to women who hyphenate their last names, because you immediately know that they're going to be a pain in the ass.

🚨 WOW. Rep. Brandon Gill throws Ohio Democrat State Senator into TEARS by asking: "Has Somali immigration been good for Ohio?"

"I'm processing your question and I was almost brought to tears just now!"

GILL: "72% of Somali immigrants are on welfare."

DEM: "The rate and level of HATEFUL RHETORIC based on false information!"

GILL: "They're defrauding the state at an astounding RATE. I think most Ohioans have a problem with that."

DEM: "Shocking. It's shocking to me. The lack of humanity to group—"

GILL: "It's INHUMANE to allow your own state to be DEFRAUDED at an astounding rate, billions taken!" 🔥

Well done, @RepBrandonGill 👏🏻

This is Todd “Let’s Roll” Beamer, who died heroically while trying to retake United Flight 93 from Al Qaeda terrorists on 9/11. His final resting place, is in Cranbury, NJ — where he was living with his wife and children before his murder. Cranbury is located in NJ-12, where the new Democratic nominee for Congress is Adam Hamawy.

Hamawy was a close associate and translator to Omar Abdel-Rahman, aka the ‘Blind Sheikh,’ an arch terrorist convicted of masterminding multiple plots against targets in NYC — including the World Trade Center. Hamawy testified at Adbel-Rahman’s trial, as a defense witness.

It has also been reported that Hamawy traveled to Bosnia to volunteer at an organization that was later unmasked as an Al Qaeda front group.

One of Hamawy’s loudest and most high-profile supporters and endorsers has openly declared that America deserved the 9/11 attacks.

Hamawy is now the prohibitive frontrunner to represent Todd Beamer’s district in the United States Congress.

🧵 THREAD: Shashank Joshi, a foreign think tank careerist, has a 16-year record of attacking US foreign policy... and now he's lecturing our military leadership on how to take the oath. Why does he still have a work visa?

He's an Indian national who arrived in April and is already the loudest critic of the Pentagon on social media.

The Economist's new Washington Bureau Chief — an Indian national on a visa who just arrived in April — went on a Canadian national security podcast literally titled "The Problem of America" and said this about US military operations:

"They have attacked scores of small boats in the Pacific and the Caribbean. They've killed dozens of people in a campaign that is, by most accounts, quite illegal and contrary to international law."

That's Shashank Joshi, @shashj . Defence editor turned bureau chief. Two months in the country and he's already built a 16-year paper trail calling American power "malevolent," "predatory," and "quite illegal" — while sitting on the advisory board of a UK think tank funded by the European Commission, BAE Systems, and the US State Department.

And he's now lecturing our military leadership on what it means to take the oath.

I have the receipts.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

A scientist was hired by a chemical company to study its weedkiller. He found it was castrating and feminizing frogs. So the company stopped studying the chemical and started studying him. This is the documented story of atrazine. 🧵

Evidence against the current interpretation of birthright citizenship (being challenged by the Trump admin before SCOTUS):

If anyone who is born on US soil is automatically a citizen, then why did Congress need to enact a statute granting citizenship to Native Americans?

My gawd you guys have to stop giving me more fuel for the fire.

You did not even bother to read the manuscript:

"The ascent to the top of the pyramid is contrived in this manner: From all the sides without we ascended by degrees, the lowermost degree (course) nearly four feet in height, and three in breadth. This runs about the pyramid in a level; and the first, when the stones were entire, which are now somewhat decayed, made on every side into a long, but narrow walkway.

The second degree (course) is like the first, each stone amounting to almost four feet in height, and three in breadth, it retires inward from from the first near three feet, and this continues around the pyramid in a level, as the former.

In the same manner is the third row placed upon the second, and so in order the rest LIKE SO MANY STAIRS rest one above the other all the way to the top."

55,000 tons of reconstituted limestone ...removed in 1938 - "very difficult..."

There is NO WAY you remove 55,000 tons of limestone cement and not think "hmmm... maybe this is what is left of the missing 75,000 tons of casing stones..."

Instead they opted to
1. ignore this scientific method question
2. hide the material so it would never be found

Just as in the case of the forged quarry marks, they knew EXACTLY what they were doing.

This is part of how they pull the wool over your eyes now.

Send the video to everyone you know showing how heinously Nowak was treated by the police in his dying moments and how the police cravenly kowtowed to his murderer.

Legacy mainstream media, same ones who wrote about George Floyd millions of times, are dead silent about Nowak.

Because it's not even about data centers and most certainly not about AI. It's about the permanent land rezone, purchase, and consolidation of rural land ownership in the hands of the oligarchy. That unfortunately makes sense.

Every obedience experiment in history had the same overlooked finding.

Not everyone complied.

In Milgram’s lab, 35% refused to deliver the final shock. In Asch’s line experiments, 25% never conformed, not once, across any trial. In Zimbardo’s prison, at least one guard refused to dehumanize. One prisoner demanded a lawyer instead of a doctor and broke the psychological frame entirely.

We spent decades studying the ones who obeyed.

We barely asked what made the others different.

That question matters more now than it ever has.

The resisters in the COVID era were not difficult to find. Physicians who filed exemptions and lost their licenses. Nurses who walked away from careers rather than mandate patients into decisions they hadn’t genuinely chosen. Scientists who published contrary data knowing what it would cost them. Parents who stood alone at school board meetings. Ordinary people who simply said, quietly, without drama , no.

What made them different?

Research consistently identifies a cluster of factors. Not personality traits you either have or don’t. Situational and cognitive patterns that can be cultivated.

First: prior reflection on authority. The resisters had usually thought, before the crisis, about the limits of institutional trust. They weren’t cynics. They were people who had already asked the question “under what conditions would I refuse?” before anyone was asking them to comply.

Second: a concrete reference point outside the consensus. A value, a principle, an oath, a relationship that existed independently of the institutional structure demanding compliance. Something the system couldn’t reach.

Third: at least one other person. Milgram found that a single dissenting confederate reduced compliance dramatically. The resisters rarely stood entirely alone. They found each other. Sustained each other. Gave each other permission.

Fourth: the willingness to tolerate social pain. Not immunity to it. Tolerance of it. They felt the pressure. They felt the exclusion. They chose the discomfort of integrity over the comfort of belonging.
None of this is innate. All of it is learnable.

The most important thing Milgram, Asch, and Zimbardo taught us is not how fragile conscience is.

It’s that conscience can hold, if you’ve trained it, named its limits, and found even one other person willing to hold theirs beside you.

Build that now. Because the experiment is always running.

Until then stay humble.

This is why Peter Thiel and others are fleeing.  They know what they are doing, at every level from privacy, to public health, and the inflationary bubble, is so awful it will provoke a backlash and is going to destroy the economy and cause widespread unrest.

I'm going to share @music29933's song about Lucy here on this page. I love it and I want to pin it to the top here, so I'm sharing it again.

Who knew #SaveLucy would become such a cultural moment.

The punishment being meted out was/is cruel & unusual, & must be rectified immediately.
Americans do not treat other Americans. even the four-legged ones, in this cruel fashion!

"I will wear a muzzle. I will wear a harness. I will wear two leashes at all times. I'm not dangerous, but I will do all the things that a dangerous dog would be expected to do, without complaint. Just let me come home."

If Lucy could talk, that's what she'd say.
