JD Vance is warning Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration not to mess around with the United States, saying they may end up losing everything.
Vance says Trump is their last ally because the entire world already hates them.
"If I were in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally I have."
Alex Karp of Palantir, $PLTR, has said: “If you run around saying AI allowed you to fire two-thirds of your workforce—because maybe your competitor’s kicking your ass—you might as well just go sign up for the Bernie Sanders manifesto."
Fmr CIA officer here.
Let me share how elections get stolen — and the role of intel agencies.
We all know that the CIA and NSA create and execute clandestine operations that are designed to go undetected. That ranges from recruiting human spies, tapping phone systems, and altering devices of all kinds.
Yes, that necessarily includes voting machines.
The CIA and NSA have teams to execute all of these operations and missions at the direction of a President, even those ops that are deemed impossible… like machines locked in rooms that are inside secure facilities, unhooked from the internet or whatever device that could tether them to the outside world.
Those tough intel operations require extensive planning, exquisite trade craft, supporting operations (HUMINT, SIGINT, MASINT), and a degree of luck.
For many years, everything that I’m saying was understood by both Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill.
Historic footage from Congressional hearings show both Ds and Rs saying that they were alarmed about voting systems with so-called “unhackable machines.” They knew then — correctly — that such a suggestion or claim was ridiculous. They were briefed by NSA and CIA teams on how they “hack the unhackable” every month without leaving a trace.
This is why Taiwan and others are resolute on conducting elections the old fashioned way: same day voting only, in person, IDs, paper ballots, a counting process that is open to the public to watch and monitor, and results announced that same night.
If Taiwan can do it with ~24M people, any US state can do it. Refusal to do so is an intentional choice to open your electoral systems to vulnerabilities.
That's what we’re now seeing across the United States, and primarily in Democrat-dominated locales. Including Los Angeles. Those politicians choose broken systems.
California’s ~30 day process to tally votes is obviously and intentionally vulnerable that a reasonable person understands that it allows for manipulation and assured electoral outcome by a dominant power (Democrats, in this case).
And like any good intel op, you do it such that there are no fingerprints left behind — whether that be with machines, mail-in ballots, harvested ballots, etc. If you own the ops environment, anything is possible.
Still, mistakes happen in any op. In the event of disclosure, you do what we often see Democrats and the media do: deny, smear, and make counter-accusations to preserve intentionally broken systems.
Folks, this is not about Spencer Pratt. This is about the future of what’s left of our Republic.
Evil, seditious forces have broken our electoral systems and gained great power using them. Mayor Bass is but one, using the machine that her Democrat Party has built to sustain her and Leftist power. It’s the modern, Golden State version of old Chicago, NJ, or Huey Long corruption.
They will deny it, obviously. Because admission means loss of power, money, and likely prison time. There’s no incentive for them to clean up what’s broken.
Bottom line: Mr. Pratt’s earnest desire to run a righteous race to fix his city faces long odds. He didn’t just run against Karen Bass. He ran against a corrupt machine.
But if nothing else, he has shown his fellow Angelinos and the nation that, once again, we have an existential problem in our electoral system with intentional vulnerabilities and electoral fraud that naturally flows from the brokenness.
Now it’s up to the rest of us to fix it.
There are solutions, none easy or polite. But we must do so — and by whatever means necessary — or the Republic falls to Communists and Cuba-trained agitators like Karen Bass.
Those are the stakes. Time is short.
The hater gene could never be in my blood bc we know the game intimately and understand the constant bullshit you have to go through just to keep your goddam head above water in attempt to make something remarkable happen. This game is a pure hellscape filled with repetitive booby traps, land mines and adversity. At every turn the ambitious and capable man is being hunted by the world. And most people want to energy harvest off you and fuck you in the ass when the opportunity is presented. Nefarious women, shady partners, silent hating friends and family, business competition, processed foods, criminal temptations, attractive shortcuts, selling out, government entity propaganda. Fam just to ‘make it’ you’ve had to endure so many pitfalls how could you feel like they don’t deserve their moment. Fuck all that hater shit could never relate cuz we’re actually in the field playing the game. Started your biz? How can I support. Just got married? I wish you love and happiness. Dropped that weight? Keep going. Had a big month? Genuinely proud of you. Playing the hater competitive game when your more like teammates in the arena on this lonely ambitious path never made sense
