Just got a “silver alert” which is a good reminder that California decided to racially segregate its missing person alert system for some reason.

If this doesn't scare you now, you'll realize in a few decades just how scared you should have been.

A Berkeley history professor said he’s gone from assigning 100 pages of reading per week to 35.

Another “said the earliest version of the…course he taught required seven full books, while his most recent iteration exclusively consisted of excerpts.”

“We are now reaching a crisis point where if the number (of pages) goes down further, it’s unclear to me whether my discipline of history can really be taught,” the first one said.

its rude to point this out because no one has any idea what to do about it and almost no one LIKES it. it's obviously a worse mode of living compared to the old status quo

and making this deterioration common knowledge unfortunately reinforces it, which is another reason one might prefer not to mention it out loud.

but it's not like ignoring it has been working either! and it's notable that suppression of the observation has been highly one-sided and selective too, which is also self-defeating in the long run.

i doubt there's any unfucking this duck but if you ARE a liberal and you WANT a different state of affairs the first step is to be real about the present dire circumstances rather than pretending it's otherwise and insisting others do the same.

one of the things a white stag symbolises in english tradition is legitimacy and sovereignty

so when agents of the crown slay one, that's... pretty on the nose as an omen.

"but night was falling and it was distressed" yeah even more on the nose

@MGalante_us @BryanDeanWright Yeah, I don't believe this either. I've been told that there is no voter fraud here in the US, so improving election security is impossible and racist.

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.

@OrevaZSN When I was a kid, my uncle would do this without his fingers. The summer after high school, I walked around puckering my lips like an idiot for months until I was able to figure it out. Now I can whistle that loud without using my fingers.

[Mila Joy @Milajoy]

My sister lives in Los Angeles.

She's a Democrat but voted for Spencer Pratt.

I was with her when she dropped her ballot in the mail weeks ago.

We checked today and it hasn't been received back.

Are they just TOSSING ballots for Spencer Pratt?

[Peter Larson @peterlarson233]

@glukianoff @cremieuxrecueil @yzilber I expect it has a small effect on a number of systems, but I think if there was a big effect, it would be more obvious when comparing at a population level

“Late votes are disproportionately for Democrats” struck me as believable.

“Late votes are disproportionately for whichever Democrat needs to come in 2nd to keep a Republican out of a two-man runoff” is not.
