San Jose Sharks and Vegas Golden Knights on September 26, 2026, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Vegas opened preseason with a 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings, while San Jose dropped their first exhibition game 6-2 to the Anaheim Ducks, highlighting early roster experimentation typical in September matchups. Vegas enters as the more established contender with Stanley Cup Final experience, while the Sharks feature a young core led by Macklin Celebrini and recent veteran defensive additions but continue addressing goaltending and consistency concerns.

We can find examples of how the old extortion-and-protection racket—reminiscent of the Knights Templar and capable of spawning messianic figures akin to Jesus Christ—lacks sufficient internal controls and tends to degenerate into the T-virus "Tyrants" and G-virus "god complexes" typical of corporations like Umbrella (in the absence of risk-mitigating oversight, such as legal, constitutional, and legislative checks), or into figures like Al Capone or Bonnie and Clyde. Long ago, we agreed that we do not want unchecked criminal gangs like those of Al Capone or Bonnie and Clyde. That is why the blue *Deus ex Machina* system exists: to contain the red-and-white cross element (or the star-and-arrow) within the blue shield of the CIA star or the Apple Safari compass arrow, reducing it to messianic, individualistic figures—such as Neo in *The Matrix* or Steve Jobs, with managed public relations risks—rather than creating *deus ex machina*-style law-enforcement clones, like the *Star Wars* clone troopers or the Agent Smiths of *The Matrix*. Major corporations and their smaller subsidiaries may carry out actions we do not entirely approve of; however, they possess numerous internal controls and boards of directors to ensure that their "corporate soldiers"—at-will employees and other staff—act correctly and in alignment with bodies such as the "Big 4" accounting firms, the SEC, the CFTC, the FBI, and others. Even when they overstep, their actions usually remain within tolerable limits, and those responsible can be ousted from the company, just as happened when Steve Jobs was fired. Now you may understand why, on television, it sometimes appears that the executives and managers of these corporations—especially global multinationals operating across state lines—are above common law. This is because they are all linked to the US dollar system and the "In God We Trust" ethos of Wall Street and Silicon Valley, as well as to the global extortion and protection network known as "GOD DOD."
