In a world increasingly dominated by algorithms, AI, and the agendas of the powerful, it's becoming harder to discern what is real and what is not. The information we consume is often manipulated, filtered, and presented in a way that serves specific interests, rather than reflecting the objective truth. This distortion of reality can leave us feeling disconnected, confused, and unsure of our place in the world.

In the face of this challenge, many people are turning to spiritual practices to find a sense of grounding and connection. Rituals, meditation, prayer, and living in accountable communities can provide a way to anchor ourselves to our higher selves, the part of us that exists beyond the noise and chaos of the modern world.

As Terrence McKenna observed, the world can sometimes feel like a fire in a madhouse at the end of time. The constant barrage of information, much of it false or misleading, can be overwhelming. But as Andy from "The Shawshank Redemption" discovered, there is a freedom that exists within us, a place that is beyond the reach of prison wardens, governments, AI, and predatory algorithms.

By cultivating a rich spiritual life, we can tap into this inner freedom and find a sense of peace and clarity amidst the madness. Through practices like meditation and prayer, we can learn to quiet the mind and connect with our higher selves. By living in accountable communities, we can find support and connection with others who share our values and aspirations.

Ultimately, the way forward in a world of lies and half-truths is to remember that the most important truth is the one that resides within us. By connecting with our higher selves and cultivating a rich spiritual life, we can find the strength and resilience to navigate the challenges of the modern world and live with purpose and meaning.

🇺🇸 Congress just passed a bill that could force you to upload your ID or scan your face to use the internet.

It is called the KIDS Act, and almost nobody wants to vote against protecting children online.

That is exactly the problem.

Last week the House passed it 267 to 117. It bundles 14 digital safety bills together, anchored by a revised version of the Kids Online Safety Act.

The bill says it does not require age verification. It even includes a disclaimer saying so.

The catch is one clause away. Platforms get held liable if they "knew or should have known" a user was a minor.

That is a low bar. It means a regulator decides after the fact whether a company should have figured out someone was 15. No platform wants to gamble on that, so the safe move is to just verify everyone.

Here is where "protect the kids" quietly flips. To prove you are not a minor, you have to prove you are an adult. Driver's licenses, passports, or a facial scan to log on.

The net does not catch children. It catches all of us.

Then there is the security problem. Force millions of people to upload IDs everywhere, and somebody ends up sitting on a giant pile of passport scans and face data.

The Tea app showed how it goes. It required a selfie and a government ID, promised to delete them right after, and did not. In July 2025, about 13,000 of those IDs and selfies leaked onto 4chan, some still carrying GPS data that let someone map where users lived.

The KIDS Act would mandate that exact collection across the whole internet.

Kids do run into real harm online, and wanting to fix that is fair. But this fix builds a surveillance system that touches every adult. Rep. Thomas Massie called it a Trojan horse bill.

It now heads to the Senate. The real question is simple. Is protecting kids online worth building an internet where everyone has to prove who they are just to log on?

Lettre à l'Amérique, d'un Français qui a vu la fin du film.

Vous vous croyez encore le dernier pays libre. Vous l'êtes pour l'instant. Je vous écris depuis un pays qui l'était aussi, et qui a signé sa reddition sans qu'un seul coup de feu ne soit tiré.

En France, l'État capte et redistribue 57% de tout ce que la nation produit. Cinquante-sept pour cent. Arrêtez-vous sur ce chiffre. Pour chaque unité de valeur créée par un ingénieur, un ouvrier, un fondateur qui a risqué sa peau, plus de la moitié transite par une main qui n'a rien bâti. Ce n'est pas une ligne budgétaire. C'est une hypothèque permanente sur l'existence des gens.

Et voici ce que personne ne vous avouera : ça n'arrive jamais par la révolution. Personne ne vote pour le déclin. On vote pour la compassion, pour la sécurité, pour la justice, pour la planète. À chaque étape, on troque un morceau de liberté contre une promesse. Et les promesses sont toujours belles. C'est ça, le piège.

Le collectivisme d'aujourd'hui n'agite plus le drapeau rouge il a compris que ça ne se vend plus. Il a appris à parler la langue du soin. ESG, gouvernance, conformité, « responsabilité » : ce sont les mots nouveaux d'une très vieille idée. L'idée qu'une élite éclairée sait mieux que vous ce qui est bon pour vous, et qu'il faut donc lui transférer, ligne après ligne, le pouvoir de décider à votre place. Ce n'est pas un complot. C'est pire : c'est un consensus. Personne ne se cache. Tout se fait à visage découvert, applaudi, subventionné.

Hayek l'avait écrit il y a quatre-vingts ans : la route de la servitude est pavée de bonnes intentions et de planification centralisée. La France a marché sur cette route en souriant. On a nationalisé le risque, socialisé l'échec, taxé l'audace, et administré tout le reste. Résultat : un pays magnifique qui ne construit plus rien, qui gère sa décrépitude avec une élégance funèbre, et où le jeune le plus doué rêve d'une seule chose partir. Beaucoup atterrissent chez vous.

L'Amérique a encore ce que nous avons perdu : le réflexe de bâtir plutôt que d'administrer. Le fondateur y est un héros, pas un suspect. La réussite y est une preuve, pas une faute à expier. C'est votre trésor. Et un trésor, ça se perd sans qu'on s'en aperçoive un formulaire, une agence, une « bonne cause » à la fois.

Alors ne cherchez pas d'ennemis cachés. C'est inutile et c'est indigne de vous. Regardez plutôt le chiffre. Regardez la France. Chaque point de PIB que vous laissez glisser vers l'État est un point de liberté qui ne revient jamais.

La liberté ne meurt pas assassinée. Elle meurt anesthésiée, sous les applaudissements.

Ne signez pas. Construisez.

The communist doesn’t think to increase the quality of the grid. The communist demands that you decrease the quality of your life.

They make you ration the things that every other American gets to enjoy. Every single time.

[Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 @mtgreenee]

This is the most horrific thing happening in our lifetimes and America is complicit and does nothing to stop it.

Even worse, we fund it.

Upon further examination, they only cleaned up the outside of the library. There are still lunatics talking to themselves at the rooftop garden. Hopefully no one gets hurt. If they do, @AustinPublicLib was repeatedly warned of the issue and failed to adequately address it.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that Jews are going to attempt to do everything under the sun to try to take this website down.

You should visit it at least once before that so you know for yourself and see for yourself.

This is real. It happened. And you’re not crazy for calling it wrong.

[Israel Exposed @xIsraelExposedx]

It took a little longer than expected, but we have created a website for people to view the footage collected from Gaza in one place. You no longer have to download the entire archives to see them.

It includes:

64,537 videos
17,905 photos
Ability to download individual videos
Searchable index
Exhaustive sources list (300+ journalists)
Geolocation data
Livemap with minute to minute updates
Victim list

It can be accessed here: https://t.co/s0Se94PXWF

Please share & quote tweet to help this post break out of the twitter algorithm prison.

We will keep adding the rest of the archives to the site, be patient- it is difficult work. Continue to seed the torrents provided, as that is the best way to ensure the footage remains stored in decentalized way.

God bless all those who sacrificed their lives to get this footage out, and everyone invovled in collecting/archiving it.

The world will see how @austintexasgov spends our money — ignores those in need — and chooses NOT to maintain our public spaces.

If the shame catches up to them, the fiends doing this won’t be able to walk down the street.

Communism always goes the same way. They smile & promise you the world. Free this, free that, abundance for all! How? Don't ask!
Then they get into power, and the rationing begins. First a smiley ask. Then a demand. Then a bullet. "You used too much energy, comrade"

[Being Libertarian @beinlibertarian]

Merging your military with another country that has bombed one of your ships before and owns most of your legislators is not the way a serious sovereign nation should act.

[austinreform @austinreforms]

Project Connect has left the station: and it's going to cost Austin taxpayers a 20% permanent increase to their property taxes... forever. It's nearly impossible to stop at this point. And that money goes to a third party "Local Government Corp" -- ATP -- so we don't even have visibility or authority over it.

Near/around $1B cumulatively collected already by this shadow entity (which pays its CEO $400k+ a year, btw) and no rail yet laid. The project total is swelling to $8.2B-$10.3B -- with no end in sight.

Can the train be stopped? One woman, Cathy Cocco, isn’t afraid to jump on the tracks to try: https://t.co/h41mxsUWFj

Don't call this an integration if the two militaries: this is creating a clear hierarchy, with Israel on top and the US under its command.

How do I know that? It is simple: under the new agreement, the US will have to share its secrets with Israel, but Israel won't be obliged to share anything with the US.

No parallel legislation was passed in Israel, and none will ever pass. The US chooses to be controlled by Israel
