People need to realize just who is Commander-in-Chief right now. This is a man with a DEEPLY flawed psychology who is staring down the barrel of one of the most disastrous defeats in history.
Don’t underestimate the risks of incredibly dangerous stupidity.
The first Trump administration tried to usher in pre-crime to stop shootings and terror "before it happens" by having AI give Americans risk scores for "neuropsychiatric warning signs" based on their social media activity. The first Trump admin's AG Bill Barr also created the legal rails for pre-crime at the DOJ and FBI.
Now, the Trump administration is doing it all for real with Kash Patel, at a time when other admin officials have claimed that political opposition to their agenda is indicative of a "resurgence" of political "terrorism." Kash Patel has teamed up with Silicon Valley and AI to decide who gets put on the naughty list.
Instead of an uproar over the complete destruction of our remaining civil liberties, there are crickets. A good segment of people who used to claim they were advocates for civil liberties, personal freedoms and personal sovereignty are now instead tied up in embarrassing personality cults, NGU derangement syndrome, and/or bleating that "open source" AI will save us all.
The FBI's pre-crime AI could be "open source" and it would still work as intended and still be just as detrimental to our freedoms. Making a digital prison "open source" doesn't change how it functions, it just makes the walls a little more opaque, that is - if you can even read and understand the code, which most people can't.
"Open source" is a buzzword that has become largely meaningless, like "natural" on American food labels. Stop acting like it will save the US from tyranny. There is a reason the EXACT people involved in making AI pre-crime in the US a reality have been recently tweeting about how "open source" AI will somehow prevent its misuse by bad actors. They are lulling you into a false sense of security as they pull the switch.
The tyrants are in power, they are Neo-cons with a new coat of paint, it couldn't be clearer. They are now ANNOUNCING they are using AI to target domestic dissent, and whether it is open source or not, it will work as intended.
BREAKING: Using quantum lip-reading, DARPA audio tech, and an NSA microwave mic from a dumpster, we recovered Netanyahu, Hegseth, and Rubio’s full private conversation at Lindsey Graham’s funeral.
Rubio: “Iran would be a much different country if it spent its wealth on its people instead of weapons.”
Trump: “We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of Medicare, daycare, Medicaid, all these things.”
The US spends over $1 trillion a year on war while its own people sink into poverty.
It has no right or standing to lecture any country, especially one that it’s actively bombing on Israel’s behalf.

That's the translation of what you're watching here...
This is why you don’t start a war without clearly defining your desired end state, outlining how that end state will be achieved, anticipating how the enemy will react, & specifying the metrics by which you’ll know you’ve achieved the end state.
Otherwise, you will inevitably end up with what we have now—a bombing campaign in search of a strategy.
@SteveBakerUSA@POTUS Trump let fauci destroy the country, and helped. Operation warp speed cancer was a crime past WW2 proportions.
They both belong in the same fucking tree.
Americans are not nearly angry enough.
When Iran launches missiles at U.S. military bases (which are clearly valid military targets in a time of war), the action is described as a "surprise attack" to insinuate that the attack is somehow unethical or immoral.
Yet when the U.S. launches surprise attacks on Iran, including attacks on civilian schools, or assassinations of Iranian leaders, or the bombing of critical civilian infrastructure, those are called "strikes" to imply they are a routine, justifiable part of warfare.
When it comes to the actual moral code of what's happening in this conflict, the U.S. consistently proves itself to be immoral and unethical:
- The U.S. launched the illegal war in the first place, even though Iran posed no imminent threat to the U.S.
- The U.S. deliberately targeted and bombed a school with 170+ young girls (children), then double-bombed the target when parents and teachers showed up to try to rescue their injured children.
- The U.S. has repeatedly invited Iran negotiators to travel to a negotiation site, and then bombed them or used explosives to kill them, while blaming Iran for refusing to negotiate.
- The U.S. has no intrinsic right to control the Strait of Hormuz, located nearly on the opposite side of the planet as the United States of America. If that were true, then Iran would have the right to control the Gulf of Mexico.
- Trump routinely orders the U.S. military to strike civilian targets like bridges and power plants, committing act war crimes under U.S. law, while claiming he isn't bound by any laws or rules at all.
- To avoid requiring Congress to declare war, Trump pretends that each military action lasts only 60 days, at which point he declares the action to be concluded, and then the next day he declares a new action has begun, thereby stringing together a series of 60-day emergency actions, effectively usurping the power of Congress and concentrating the power to wage war in the hands of the executive (himself). While the war grows increasingly unpopular, Trump betrays the very Americans he is supposed to represent, and he pursues actions that most Americans find abhorrent.
Summary? The U.S. actions against Iran are illegal, unethical, immoral, unjustified and place the entire world at grave risk of famine, industrial collapse, economic depression and social strife stemming from those conditions.
Trump and Hegseth both need to be removed from office and prosecuted as war criminals. In a world of real justice and peace, perhaps they would share a jail cell with indicted war criminal Netanyahu.
