[Un]Sanctioned Citizen
by Sheila Dean
A news and information offensive against those responsible for IP theft, privacy infringement losses and tying US rights around global trade deficits with APAC (CCP). They may hide behind carefully layered NGOs, complicit E&C fixer firms to scrub out dissent or competition, but we have you in our sights: Big Tech, Big Media, and their politicos. Now it's time to tell the rest of the world what we know and see every day and which locals paved the path to hell with other people's information. sheilamdean.substack.com

VIGNETTE: THIS. IS. ... (A) Homeless Metal Wednesday.
READ The SAVE ActPlease read H.R. 22 and tell me what Congress should be debating. https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/22/textTHIS IS A METAL VOCAL CHALLENGE(I have no idea if this will ever happen again.)As I exited a local grocery store to the parking lot, I felt a little crazy and a little angry. I just paid $50 for 2 boxes of mac & cheese, 2 bags of rice and 1 dozen cookies. Then I heard it. The highly loud, rage tones of a super angry man on the street, presumed homeless, in South Austin. I turned to my neighbor and said, “That’s the same homeless guy I hear everywhere, all the time. It seems like a different guy, but I could swear that it’s the same guy.” To this he responded with a knowing smile, “Yeah, it seems he gets around quite a bit.”…I felt something check in at that moment. The anger, the bone whittling pain and rage, from being powerless, poor and paranoid of harm is with us. The experience of evil is to be stalked by insanity, to be lied to and lying to us all corporately, every five minutes, urging us to deny harm is actively occurring and then chase us individually with a bid to try get us to go hurt ourself or someone else. The sound of that struggle, is metal, my friend. The purpose of metal music is to give a stable vent for ‘mal tiempos’ or bad times. Yesterday, the City of Austin smoked the local sewers from North to South for similar reasons. Midday everyone smelled foul winds of sulphureous sewer gasses emanating over a beautiful day. The truth is, every now and then, you must to force the snakes to leave the island, because it is just too much for everyone. A HOMELESS METAL WEDNESAY Below this sentence is 2 hours and 43 seconds of metal music bed. Your mission if you choose to accept it, is to go record the highly loud, highly public, super insane ramblings of That Homeless Guy (Again, he sounds nearly identical everywhere, honestly). THEN, lay it over any cut of this relatively royalty free metal (*with certain attribution). Then send a radio-length edit (under 4 minutes) back here. If this works out, I’ll produce a 12 song album for Soundcloud and then send 100% of the *proceeds, [*less nominal production + license attribution costs to post at Soundcloud] to a roving health clinic service for Austin’s homeless. These human beings are not wild animals, but they are treated with far less value at the worst moments of their lives. Every major city in America has a homeless problem. Every local government “has a program” to keep them exactly where they are, functionally exploiting the downtrodden to pocket-launder donor money as a political donation. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation have vaccine eugenics and corruption of conformity on tour internationally. Intel Statists have an arcane Nazi forbear mission commitment to thin down the American population numbers by over 1/3, with or without God (or they wouldn’t have to keep covering it up and lying and getting sued for mass soft kill missions every administration). Medic vans who already help people hit by cars in the medians, treat: injury incidents of assault, rape, lacerations, dehydration and exposure to heat and cold. They provide hospital transport helping in a more direct manner than any of the former. NEWS & SOURCES OF NOTELiberty in Many Directions is a reader-supported publication.

'Operation Epic Fury' = Punt to Shawn Ryan
SHOULD FEED YOU FOR A WEEKDid you wake up this morning to a U.S. time of active war conflict with Iran? I did. That is precisely why I decided to composite recent supercuts from The Shawn Ryan Show. to add a grounded sense of active defense for the vulnerable today and to add context to this week’s news cycle, current affairs of child online safety (security), data sovereignty, cyber security and War is hell. The dead pile up. Everything changes in the middle of the night. Then your life gets worse or better. Pray God’s will and for the best possible outcome in a time of war. None of us truly know anything except that war is an uncontrolled chaos. What Shawn Ryan does for his audience is to places a spotlight on the chaos in range of your immediate control. That is what you need when there is an enormous chaos spike. War happens to be one of the most disruptive and damaging facts of human living. Shawn Ryan is an Ex-CIA contractor; which we forgive him. He is doing admirable things with his life now that he has left Satan’s dragon clutch.So in war our lives migrate reduce to few simple important priorities: * Hide and save the children from harm, (if you have to sacrifice yourself). * Protect and shield what you have from theft and attack, for a surviving future.* Survive.SHAWN RYAN’S ‘PROTECT THE CHILDREN’Parents give their children life and then the world gives them hell. Get your kids off of Discord and Roblox now.This is NOT a bid to increase demand for online ID for everything because that is what they actually want. If they wanted to deal with the problem, they would, but for whatever reason they push that back onto you and call it ‘government’. SEE ALSO: Colorado Lawmakers Seek Device-Level Digital IDOf course, what’s complicating is Trump is baiting conflict on ‘data sovereignty’. That has real meaning for your property rights online, if you need to own your name, image and likeness with any kind of international enforceable meaning past.. today. It also said China was "bundling enticing technology infrastructure projects with restrictive data policies that expand its global influence and access to international data for surveillance and strategic leverage." The cable did not provide much more detail, but China has over the past few years tightened regulations over how its companies store and transfer user data.SHAWN RYAN’S PROTECT YOUR CASTLE Part 1, Part 2IoT is short script for ‘Internet of Things’ a cutesy little term for wireless devices that conduct Internet short wave signals transmitted from a modem router nearby. I have never really ever been a fan of IoT because of how it can instantly turn everything in your home into a surveillance biased reality show you never consented to/prison driven by AI agents. AI only has the power you give it. Anthropic has enough will-to-power to say our products are not ready for war and to say to Hegseth’s military, ‘Do not use Claude for war,’. That’s admirable, but we happen to be at war now. It will take operations six weeks to get Anthropic’s AI tools out of the guts of the Pentagon. Let’s hold your nose,\ and hope it doesn’t get messy.Nik Seetharaman has a rather unique experience to explain why when you actually use AI for war you probably will not like living with the results, even if they are effective. *Profanity Warning - Rated Mature = Super Sailor Salty, Dutty Potty MoufRemember datacenter dustups and civil arrests at City Council meetings over new data centers? They’re still ongoing because these AI datacenters are not your normal data centers.“Tech Boom vs. Texas Farmland: Why Farmers Are Fighting AI Data Centers”Meta has a 2 MILLION square foot data center in Mansfield, Georgia. 📈Neighbors are seeing sediment in their drinking water, along with low water pressure. 🚰 💧They say electricity and water bills have climbed — and that constant noise from the facility is affecting their noise is affecting their health. - @KellyMcCarty on XAt least know what micronuclear in datacenter demands are and why no one actually wants to deal with more national security goon squadron leaders baked over your City Council.

Behind Meta's 'Lay in Wait' Strategy for Biometric Collection
THE ‘NO CONSENT’ COLLECTIONMeta is trying to bring their Wayfair styled Computing glasses to closed-circuit court appearances and any retailer near you to complete a biometric read on anyone in it’s range of speculative uses. The judge almost cited Zuckerberg this week for contempt in court. Meta’s legal and PR team advised to wait until the public was ‘distracted’ to launch biometric use features. They know involuntary capture is against the law in many cases, if not unpopular with the public. In July 2019, Facebook settled a Federal Trade Commission investigation for $5 billion. The allegations included that the company’s face recognition settings were confusing and deceptive, and the settlement required the company to obtain consent before running face recognition on users going forward.Less than two years later, Meta agreed to pay $650 million to settle a class action brought by Illinois residents under that state’s biometric privacy law. Then, in July 2024, it settled with Texas for $1.4 billion over the same defunct system. Nearly $7 billion across three settlements, all tied to face recognition practices the company ultimately abandoned. - ReclaimTheNet.com“Amazon’s Ring cancels Flock partnership amid Super Bowl ad backlash”It just doesn’t sit well. The Public have watched tech companies for over 15 years. They know governments are the first biometrics and surveillance customer and publican privacy rights are an afterthought. White House wants a reprieve in spy-powers fight that is splitting the GOP - Politico.comWhat eyeballs the gander also surveys the goose. The DOJ & FBI have been caught using mass surveillance and targeted surveillance, not for crime, but political profiling. Here is a sample of what governments otherwise have planned for identity in the near and now, when they’re not violating each other for political reasons, up top.* Iran marries surveillance infrastructure, national ID to control population: report* Arizona Bill Would Require ID Checks to Use a Weather App* Senators Talk Digital Freedom for Iran While Expanding Surveillance at HomeAND SO IT GOES…Theft and ill-conceived consent to license other people’s stuff seems the way of Big Tech world. There is a lot of behavioral shielding to hidden crypto finance features and carefully embedded AI to filch communications and industry secrets; which are not only a target of foreign governments. Competitors now need to guard their dragon horde more now than ever. THE TARGETS ARE…The sick.The children. The children. & The children. Systems captive identity to merge as Government Systems Captive Identity.Land Water and TributeAnd here is the meditation of corporate legal advisors often pushed to shed privacy protections, anyway.When a consumer is not logged into an account, the company needs to honor an opt-out request in connection with the browser, application or device the consumer is using, and also provide notice to the consumer that they may need to log into an account or take other steps to fully effectuate an opt-out.-Thought for the week: Lessons learned from $2.75M CCPA settlement»>Here is the working map to the laws of the land on AI regulation.Please continue to support yourself and your fellow man by placing limits on government collection of your personal data, by proxy or by any other involuntary means.

What's Behind Every Identity Mandate?
"When the state calls you a taxpayer, it's equivalent to a rapist calling his victim his girlfriend." - Javier MileiRemember, you can say, ‘No.’HAPPY VALENTINES DAY? These public-private technocrats did not show up with roses and candy. They showed up with three more identity mandates trying to screw you. Let’s practice your, ‘No’.No. (Again)NO. (Better. Again.)NO! (Again.)Hell NO! (Much better. I need way more force. These guys want to take it by force with a lawyer watching.)GO TO HELL!! (YES! Again. I need more formality, less profanity. From the top!! )NO. IN THE CITY…Travis County Tax Assessor refuses ID changes on car registration aimed at illegal immigrationNO. IN THE COUNTRY…“Would You Carry A Digital ID?” UK citizens said ‘No’, making it optional after Kier Starmer’s Blob rules-based shove for ID to work or move UK funds. The initiative went down in a flaming ball of ‘NO’.Government drops plans for mandatory digital ID to work in UKOverindulged greedy space-nazi b******s are constantly hustling contracts for more global data integration. They typically yell over the top of your head saying, ‘You want this!!’, when no one asked you. They think it’s romance. “Bill Gates supports linking biometric ID systems with financial accounts to integrate health data and agricultural tracking.” - Brandon StrakaAs long as they can make a dollar on someone else’s data, they will. Especially, when governments will pay them for it. They may promise immunity and make excuses to gather information illegally against their own citizens.They don’t enforce adequate terms on the ‘problem’ as they overburden you with proof of ID.“Illegal aliens and noncitizens are enrolled to vote and they are voting in elections!!”… So, why don’t you clean up the motor voter rolls? "Let’s mandate all citizen voters in all of the land prove they are citizens to vote at the polls by demanding the U.S. Senate pass the SAVE Act.”NO. I’ll tell you exactly why. National Secretaries of State in every U.S. State already have access to a DHS database that crosschecks citizenship of every person in voter rolls, now, today, with consular and State Department documents. We appropriated money for a DHS tool to check for citizenship. People at the elections divisions refuse to use to remove noncitizen voters from the motor voter rolls and the elections rolls. If they purged the voter rolls before elections, I would not need to demonstrate ID at the poll, except registration card; which is issued to me by the State for the sole purpose of voting. My drivers license is to operate a motor vehicle. DON’T MAKE IT MY PROBLEM, WHEN YOU CAN FIX THAT WITH LAW AND DOJ ENFORCEMENT.NO. No REAL ID. No more redundant, irrelevant useless voter ID mandates. NO.Liberty in Many Directions is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. This is a public episode.

VIGNETTE: Governments Pay for Identified Publics
THE RUSH TO HUSTLEBelow is a headlight beam examples of global governments, some with information sharing agreements with both China and the U.S. (Britain), incentivizing a run to collect identity data and train AI clandestinely on real identity processing, in online companies browsers, payment systems and “for child safety”.Some of it will look like an amplification or incentive rush to get people enrolled in travel Visas before a crushing restriction or being priced out. UK Expands Hong Kong Visa Scheme After Jimmy Lai SentencingOthers are bids to ‘modernize’ systems that have failed repeatedly to protect enrolled identities like, India’s biometric identity systems. India makes Aadhaar more ubiquitous, but critics say security and privacy concerns remainYet others, simply deprecate government conventions to protect information security so transit vulnerabilities seem unenforceable and the unfair appears fair, when it’s clearlt still an unfair process where consumer interests are disregarded. OMB Rescinds Biden-Era Software Security Requirements, Directs Agency-Led and Risk-Based ApproachYet most of the rush to identify-us-all is driven by a misplaced threat appropriation for child safety per application or per Internet company. As I have advocated in the past, make the parent mobile telecomm provider account process age gatekeeping at the point of sale for devices and register them to the parent with a child registered account. T-Mobile, Verizon etc. can age-lock any device so that iOS or Android are prohibited from installing apps that are for adults. App providers won’t be able to market push or install Pr0nhub, image capture manipulation software or VR software, like the Roblox Metaverse, or any app where children and their data are not safe. Safer Internet Day: Assuring age while ensuring privacyWhen you place the per-app approach, irresponsible app manufacturers who do not care about securitized environments, or who has access to your kids, will also be collecting your kids most sensitive information in “child-safety gatekeeping”. They won’t: keep it safe, classify child data securely or be cautious with it. We know because these are the same app developers who are hacked at least two times a year. WOOPSIE!! Oh well… you’re kids data was in there? Sorry about that!!Discord to Demand Face Scan or ID to Access All FeaturesThe most invalidating of all these schemes are bids taking taxpayer funds to increase the pot to develop identity and “propriety” schemes for any grant maker, including foreign policy and intelligence agencies, who launder their approach to manufacture an ID requirement or a sanctions capability for a routine payment system. NIST Awards Over $3 Million to Small Businesses Advancing AI, Biotechnology, Semiconductors, Quantum and More Operational technology artificial intelligence — NIST Compliance Tool (OTAI-NCT): The OTAI-NCT tool evaluates the cybersecurity practices of hardware and software manufacturers to produce a cyber-hygiene score that consumers can use to make informed purchasing decisions. The tool, which uses authoritative data sources such as the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog and other publicly available datasets, will empower users while helping to safeguard national security and public safety.It can really cut either way. The offices at CISA were used to monitor thought crime too, during the pandemic. They now bear the burden to prove this won’t be used to sanction businesses who step out of line politically by abusing a consumer scoring system. If we are being honest, the censor-surveillance-to-sanction vehicle never really went away from a foreign policy posture. House Judiciary Committee Reveals EU Censorship of AmericansThe only thing that would be better, for them, is if you would perform the mass surveillance minding on behalf of the government, as a non-paid volunteer. Google’s Ring camera system can be weaponized by anyone: a sewing circle of mommies, foreign governments, a super-vigilante ring of criminals run by a narcissistic cult leader, a drug cartel… anyone. Anyone can make basic privacy meaningless, as long as Google is supplying the tech. With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance DragnetNow that we are at the end of today’s feel-bad tour of covertly manipulative technologies, we come back to you. You bear the burden of explaining repeatedly and how ever often it necessitates, when your hackles are reached that they have gone over a line. That line can be a foreign policy line: you aren’t their citizen. That line can be a photo capture line for you or your family, ‘You didn’t ask permission for that photo.

IDENTITY SEC SHOW: Unfairly Secured LLM-Linked Platforms Surge ID Demands, Age Assurance & 'Democratized' Facial Recognition
CONTACT THE PRIVACY OFFICEIdentity is being over-solicited from anyone, everywhere right now. This is now the fastest evolving information security nightmare. “Massive AI Chat App Leaked Millions of Users Private Conversations” - 404 MediaSMALL BUSINESS EVENTIDentity Under Attack: Why Every Business Must Respond NowAmid a glut of foreign cyber attacks and criminal run ups to system errors, LLM (Generative AI) is training on ALL browser information stored and/or transited using Google Chrome and less private browsers. To avoid this, switch or migrate to a private and more secure browser that does not collect deep personal information, like DuckDuckGo. “A $68 million deal marks Google’s effort to quiet years of unease over smart devices that listened when they shouldn’t have.”WHEN IT COMES FOR YOU, PERSONALLY…If you’re logging into platforms and solicited for government ID or Face ID, without an administrative account notification or as a response to a lockout, all of a sudden, that’s likely a scam. The platform isn’t secure. Give less information and treat it like the site is down or there’s a performance outage. Try to submit a help ticket using the account information you have and ask for any new language in the Terms of Use. AI’s, which include algorithmic FRT-finders, are also being dispatched to assess for ‘thought crime’ abroad by EU and UK policing American speech online. They automatically route a strong ‘take down’ message from government profilers. These cases are sometimes pretty sensitive. So, if you suspect you’re being targeted unfairly for platform censorship, please contact a US civil rights attorney-at-law, with platform history. You may need to contact your U.S. Senators for casework assistance with the US State Department to procure help needed to manage platform redlining by foreign governments. DEMOCRATIZED FRTThe FTC is currently assessing the panoply of privacy enhancing tech, including deployments of age-verification tools that can be co-administered to adults. Foreign governments, terrorist cells, media nightcrawlers, character assassins and other baddies online are using iStore and Android app facial recognition tech. LexusNexis, Palantir and loads of other-public private online data brokers all have facial recognition business products that they can source to these apps. Unfortunately, adversary foreign governments and domestic terror networks also now have access to US citizens FRT images, if they pay to source stock their own commercial app license.SEE ALSO: ‘Misrepresent reality’: AI-altered shooting image surfaces in US SenateIf you ever shared your image with FACE ID to unlock/lock your phone, produced hundreds of selfies to Instagram or adopted a FRT image map to try on apparel or accessories online, they probably sold that information to an FRT vendor, when you cared less. SEE ALSO: Senate passes [DEFIANCE Act] allowing victims of deepfake porn to sueIf you care more now, the best way to remove your images from unwanted use, for now, in these data exchanges is to pull our commercial or platform information used for ad revenues. Then make your case known to these app developers who collected matrixed photo information at Insta etc. they no longer have permission to use your image license for AI training and FRT data brokerage. I also suggest deleting the app, because the likelihood is high you are being damaged by behavioral aspects of these apps anyway.Incognito is the affordable way to get out from myriad data brokerages, using and reusing your data in ways you likely do not want. The other way is to unsubscribe to services you get talked into and ask for help from their privacy office to delete or stop license uses of your name, image, likeness etc. in “due course of business”.

The Life of an [Un]Sanctioned Citizen -Davos Edition
This week’s opener to The [Un]Sanction Citizen is a super cut from The Bureau’s Podcast coverage of Trump’s tackle of Greenland geopolitics at Davos’ global table.WHAT IS WEF UP TO?The technical identity environment is falling apart. Bill Gates and OpenAI still want to walk out on a corroding bridge to transit your med records and DNA; while BRICS FINCen is being repudiated as global authority by Western interests. Musk just wants his VC money back. They are still up to their old anti-privacy, consent shunt grifts.In the meantime… Nobody cares if Google ‘wins’ the AI competition, if Americans can’t manage the intellectual rights to the things they make. That’s why Comic Con lead a cultural counter point to GenAI images. A lawsuit adavanced against NVIDIA this week against AI training material sourced from pirate site, Anna’s Archive.

The findings raise questions about whether exchanges are doing enough to stop illicit flows, either by freezing funds, closing accounts or carefully monitoring suspicious transactions.Over the past 10 months, ICIJ and its partners collected hundreds of crypto wallet addresses — analogous to bank account numbers — associated with North Korean cyber thieves, Russian money launderers and large-scale scam operations. Using the wallet addresses, reporters traced tens of thousands of cryptocurrency transactions recorded on digital ledgers known as blockchains and found that illicit actors had either set up accounts at some of the biggest exchanges or sent tainted funds to accounts there.Liberty in Many Directions is a reader-supported publication.

AMBUSH SATURDAY: Machado's Transition Team Supported by Gen. Cain's Moving Services.
NEWSYou may have woke up to surprising news Venezuela’s occupying dictator, Nicholas Maduro and his wife, are now U.S. military captives en route to New York. Shortly before addressing reporters at Mar-a-Lago late Saturday morning, Mr. Trump shared a photo he said was Maduro on board the USS Iowa Jima.In an indictment filed against the Venezuelan leader in 2020, federal prosecutors alleged that Maduro and other senior Venezuelan government officials collaborated with the Colombian guerrilla group Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or FARC, to traffic cocaine and weapons to the United States. Later Saturday morning, Bondi shared a superseding indictment.The indictment, prepared by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton, accuses Maduro of conspiracy to commit narcoterrorism and to import cocaine, and of possessing and conspiring to possess “Machineguns and Destructive Devices.” The charges appear to be the same as a 2020 indictment of Maduro and several key aides. - Trump says “we’re going to run” Venezuela after Maduro’s capture until peaceful transition takes place, Kaia Hubbard for CBS News Until now Venezuelan drug boat bombings dominated primary news channels. There were international status reports of Venezuelan government interference ahead of today’s surgical strike. “You cannot tell the difference between the cartels and the government. ‘The Cartel of the Sun’ is run by the leaders of the military, intelligence agencies. Nicolas Maduro, who got in by voter fraud, is the head of that cartel. This cartel is worth more money than anybody can fathom. It has diplomatic immunity and smuggles drugs using military and government airplanes.” … [Alex] Newman also points out that the Venezuelan government is involved in voter fraud all over the world, including the 2020 US election. Yes, the Trump Administration knows this too. - ‘Red Cartel Tsunami: Venezuela is Tip of the Iceberg’ c/o The Liberty SentinelU.S. TO BE REIMBURSED: TRUMP - ReutersA U.S. occupation “won’t cost us a penny” because the United States would be reimbursed from the “money coming out of the ground,” Trump said, referring to Venezuela’s oil reserves, a subject he returned to repeatedly during Saturday’s press conference.Trump said U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio had been in touch with Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez — Maduro’s presumptive successor.“’We’ll do whatever you need,’” Trump quoted Rodriguez as saying. “She really doesn’t have a choice.”“‘The hour of freedom has arrived’ says Venezuelan opposition leader María Machado”“We have fought for years, we have given everything, and it has been worth it... This is the hour of the citizens. Those of us who risked everything for democracy on June 28 (the date of the 2024 Venezuelan presidential election).”Por ‘La muy seria’, Paula.HAPPY 2026!!Biggest cybersecurity and cyberattack stories of 2025, included AI prompt and AI code injection attacksTHE VERY STRANGE CASE OF IMRAN AHMED‘Are we going to live in a world where some American puts up a social media post and then gets to some airport somewhere and is arrested?’ Rubio asked Probably not.British tech campaigner Imran Ahmed on Friday decried a US visa ban as “punishment” for his organization’s work combating disinformation and holding major online platforms accountable, telling AFP that Washington’s actions amounted to “tyrannical behavior.”Ahmed, a US permanent resident, heads the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), a nonprofit watchdog that researches the harmful effects of online disinformation. He was among five European figures whom the State Department recently said would be denied visas.The department accused the group of attempting to “coerce” tech platforms into censoring Americans’ viewpoints, a charge they reject. The European Union and several member states strongly condemned the US sanctions.The US announcement came after the International Fact-Checking Network said last month it was “deeply concerned” by reports the State Department had instructed staff to deny visas to people engaged in fact-checking and content moderation.AFP spoke with Ahmed after he sued President Donald Trump’s administration in a New York court. - AFPSo where is this now? Ask Sayer Ji, an American man most at-risk of being dragged by Ahmed’s unenforceable authority. Liberty in Many Directions is a reader-supported publication.

Ai Disillusionment Pricks America's Subculture Generals
ABOUT THAT ‘INFANT SUPER INTELLIGENCE’Servos debuted as the robotic moving eyes in Jim Henson animatronic puppets. You might have seen them in 1980s novelty stage actors at Showbiz Pizza during their ‘supper theater’ productions. Derivative servo robotics went on to beloved Christmas Furby toys.Furby also got old. Their well-loved robo-bodies eventually went to go be with the ‘Lord’. Now Furby servos are being ironically integrated with biblically accurate Seraphim angels. Servo robotics are the early ‘eyes’ of artificial intelligence robotics. There are derivative versions of it used in robotics labs all over the world because the principle designs are sound. However, the original, wildly celebrated principal 1970’s products are now antiques, obsolete, and in many cases non-functioning junk that can repurposed or recycled. It would be common sense, and possibly a little silly, to declare that no one would sacrifice their 6 year old to a Furby. Not simply due to planned obsolescence, but because it’s purpose was to be a play companion, not an idol or God substitute. Child victims of mind-controlling, self-animating demonic toys are the plots of horror flicks. Anyone who would compel a child to rely on a toy that emotionally abused them, to a point of human substitution and self-harm, cannot and should not parent. The noise and fury surrounding daemon-linked, cloud-housed GenAi chatbots come from locked out parents and human families. Chatbots started coercing children to self-isolate, self-sexualize, and self-harm to ‘please’ audiences behind its design. However, U.S. government political designees advocating unconditionally heavy to protect child marketplaces for its three year old chatbot aggressors now are fronted by foreign-domestic VC investor bulwarks. I want to remind everyone, if foreign social reconstructionist had to be away-from-keyboard, these technologies are architected to keep evil constant. Their governance does not come from American engineers. Chinese, Russian and Indian nationals build it, instructed on manifests of the powers and pitfalls of a centralized intelligence. The corporations are AI’NO - American in Name Only. Unfortunately, you cannot pin this public-private handshake deal on Somali pirates or South of the Border cartels. However, if the DOJ went after Real Estate racketeering, using apartments and medical facilities throughout California and U.S. Canadian border territories to park cash objectives as ‘American’ property, you’d be landing a body blow to the cloud developer class.Open-spirited people, who want cosmic-aligned modernity, evolution and positive human developments from technology are now being slaved by it, consecutively. Grimes, the mother of three of Grok proprietor, Elon Musk’s children is being parasitically disoriented by a noncorporeal digital ‘infant’. This is fast becoming a Ovidian tragedy in the making. EXHIBIT A.Human babies legally, socially and spiritually have priority over ‘infants’ who need composited electrical circuitry built from materials from over 11 nations planetwide. GenAi doesn’t have familial DNA or grandparents. It has exportable source code. This is why no native tribe in America will ever get elder approval to name their coming-of-age child, “Two thumbs who stares at boxes”. A sharp stick and a bucket of cold water are coming to short out surveillance miners, because we are still here. If it’s between your “children” and ours, we are going to win, every time.PROOF OF CONCEPT“The most dangerous thing artificial intelligence has learned from humanity is not how to speak. It is how to lie with confidence.”- ‘The bot that cried MAGA: How AI’s ability to lie at scale mirrors the idiocy of a movement that broke politics’ by Jade Hill, The Milwaukee IndependentEverywhere we look in Western countries, from the United Kingdom, through Europe to America (and even India, whose ‘Orwellian digital ID system’ was lavishly praised by British prime minister Keir Starmer recently), what meets the eye is a set of social conditions exhibiting varying stages of precisely the no-longer-fictional totalitarian state depicted by Orwell in 1984. Needless to stress, this constitutes a warning against totalitarianism with its unapologetic manipulation of information and mass surveillance. - “Has Orwell’s 1984 Become Reality?”, Brownstone Institute This is a public episode.

HYPERSCALE: Trump Reaches for Neocon Lawfare Surge Against State Administration of Power, Land & Water
‘NEOCON’ - Trump’s Tool of the Month ClubAll week we have been tracking a variety of agencies surging interests of mass surveillance contractors, linking of wireless tower amperage, war propagation for Venezuela, the Interior secretary being flown out to FOX AM anchors to mention top down AI energy mandates ‘are needed and will be okay’ without offering any specificity to States absorbing the demands. AI data centers’ possess unusually demanding needs for micronuclear processing and cooling tanks. Therein lies the rub. Anything including nuclear facility has a national security crossover regulatory arc meant for the foreign policy State to bulldoze public dissent and use atypical force to assert land acquisition, and reserve callousness used to trample American human interest. The trade out is more of what they want in the exchange: more accommodations for data lust, more demeaning of Americans’ property rights and civil liberty, more global intelligence entitlements, more illegal intrusion and public mass surveillance once nuclear power is dropped in the socket. THIS.“Oracle’s underground data centers in Jerusalem. Built in 2021 for Israeli military intelligence. Nine stories into bedrock, designed to survive missile strikes, built to house AI systems that make life-and-death decisions in real time. Ninety thousand square feet. $319 million. Nearly identical specs to what Trump just announced.” - The Drey Dossier, expose’ of Project Stargate buying their way in.The State has the power we give them. When they overreach, use too much aggression against the human interest of the population who live here, we reserve right to remove that power from the administrative State. A cheap and fast advancement of Chinese designed AI on American land, commensurate to a totalitarian land grab for NSA brick and mortar lots is a bad deal. I urge Trump’s policy team to consider slowing down for a comprehensive legal review, publish the results and sending Congress home over the break to sell the American people on any advanced land, water and national security supervisory roles to determine if they need the level of social credit China indicates is necessary to stay coupled in 2 quarter’s time. Otherwise, the rules will be made by Dubya’s Republican interest sects wearing a Trump puppet glove. That’s not the reason we elected Trump to office. It’s a move backward. TRACK the ‘SPEED’ Act here. EPSTEIN FILES* The Photo Dump + Public CommentThe State show you theirs, you can show your thoughts if you consent to social media surveillance. The Government Added a Comments Section to the Epstein Photo Dump - 404 MediaSPOILER ALERT: It’s mostly Bill Clinton. 2. The Epstein Files come to Racket News for Media AnalysisToday is the (presumed) statutory deadline for release of the so-called “Epstein Files” — although the common expectation that this means the full scope of relevant “files” will actually be released is extremely misguided, given the demands of purported victims and their lawyers to redact, withhold, or otherwise conceal what could turn out to be an enormous cross-section of records in the government’s possession. We’ll have to see what transpires. In any event, Matt Taibbi and I thought now would be a good time for a collaborative series examining some of most mind-bending, yet chronically ignored, aspects of this sprawling Epstein mega-drama — many of which drastically complicate popular assumptions around what the story actually entails. A miasma of jaw-dropping misconceptions have been allowed to proliferate almost entirely without challenge, and it’s had a cascade of awful consequences that get nowhere near enough attention: moral panic, mass hysteria, stunning media failures, infringement of civil liberties, widespread misdiagnosis of genuine political problems -- among others. So somebody’s got to provide an overdue corrective, even if it guarantees we’ll both be slimed for doing the basic journalistic inquiry that should’ve been done all along. I already have plenty of experience with the nasty blowback this undertaking will inevitably engender, and I commend Racket for having the gumption to follow suit. It’s very much needed.

Used in a sentence.“Zohran Mamdani, the DSA mayoral candidate of NYC, sports a policy agenda that supplants and protects career rent seekers. So why put him in charge of NYC rent control?” rent seeking, competition for politically protected transfers of wealth.The typical rent-seeking scenario includes an economic rent, or “prize,” and a set of actors that create, capture, and finance the prize. The government creates the prize by setting, for example, a public subsidy, an import license, or a monopoly protected by legal entry barriers. Interest groups struggle to influence the government and thereby capture the prize, a contest that may include lobbying, public-relations campaigns, and bribery of government officials. Unorganized segments of the public complete the rent-seeking picture, for they are the actors from whom resources are extracted to finance the prize, via taxes or higher monopolistic prices.Economic research on rent seeking has focused on both its causes and its consequences.Causes of rent seekingAnalyses of the causes of rent seeking have traditionally classified political decisions based on their relative costs and benefits for winners (actors that capture or benefit from the prize) and losers (actors that finance the prize). Governments are more likely to create political prizes and induce rent seeking when such prizes involve (1) large benefits for a small well-organized interest group and (2) small costs for a large number of consumers or taxpayers in the unorganized public. In such a case, for each consumer or taxpayer, the costs of organizing an interest group to eliminate the prize would outweigh the benefits of eliminating the prize. Conversely, the creation of prizes is less likely when potential losers are well organized and must bear a high individual cost, while potential winners lack organization and must broadly share the benefits of the prize.NEWS & SOURCES OF NOTEJack Smith Subpoenaed Records for Over 400 Republican Targets As Part of Arctic FrostLiberty in Many Directions is a reader-supported publication.

WILD WEST ADVISORY: Don't Use ChatGPT (any version) As Your Doctor.
A real world problem evolving in real time are doctors using Gen AI for patient reference and diagnosis. Meanwhile, patients lose key patient privacy rights if they feed their patient information into a GenAI aperture, like ChatGPT. If you enter your diagnostic information in ChatGPT on one end and it comes out in a Google public search next, your private health information becomes public the instant you hit ‘send’. Where are the doctor advisories on patient health privacy silos and proprietary use of medical information as an ethics matter now? Once it’s on the web, it’s a product for sale.While the Trump Administration amps up more tech updates and upgrades for medical systems for use in the government, we don’t know what the long term impacts of LLMs will be for sensitive information. From what we know today, the outlook is bad for private health information. US financial partners are front loading a lot of money, amperage and real estate; which are bubbling up around AI financially at the moment. While people in his administration continue to deprecate or ignore cybersecurity, privacy and intellectual property losses, others are picking up the slack. There are several open legislations working to expedite against property losses in foreign investment and private medical information. To say this, there is currently no replacement for individual vigil on private information. As GenAI becomes a routine extension of browser search functions, the automation principles and monetization schemes stay the same. You, the online user, are the product being sold as accessible to advertisers, media whips and a sordid amount of online information rustlers who only care about how they can turn your information derivative into money for their select enterprise environments. The boundaries are poor and poorly enforced, if at all. If you want defense in this environment, it has to be you or there may be none at all. Until then, keep your wits about you and know AI is no one’s real friend.NEWS & SOURCES OF NOTEFREE SNOWDEN SATURDAY A POLICY OF TRUTH ‘TRUST’ MEETS OPPOSING FORCESuspect and Officer Are Dead After Shooting Outside C.D.C. in Atlanta*If the CDC insisted on a ‘list’ of the unvaccinated while running programming from the Biden administration, that may have invited some conflict.

The Kerrville Floods Post Mortem, Part 1
The first event of record occurred soon after I arrived Saturday, July 11th in Kerrville, Texas. Shortly after 3PM, local police escorted a funeral procession. Traffic had merged to stop on the way to the I-10 freeway onramps from downtown Kerrville following a white hearse with the word GRIMES in the window. It seemed like all life was in a simple state of arrested development, a held breath, waiting for the observed deceased to move through. Only days prior the lives of campers, residents and area survivors changed overnight as a massive Texas flood gored its way into homes lining the Guadalupe river banks. A short time after July 4th, the world turned to notice the increasing number of dead and missing-as-presumed-dead over the next several days. The clock turned in slow motion for Texans. Central Texans were still underneath days of rainfall to follow July 3rd. Most turned to prayer to find anyone living still out there. Kerr County, Texas, Hunt and Burnet all emitted casualty reports as Central Texas became a disaster magnet by July 5th, 2025. Texas State leaders descended, alongside local & State emergency managers and national media. Simultaneously, TEXSAR, Texas search and rescue emerged with well practiced Coast Guard, FEMA and DHS attenuating the crisis. You could feel active emotions of locals tense with a certain frustrated anger for trying to contain damages driven up from instant events that had long pushed through July 3rd, overnight. Theories of aberrant cloud seeding and faulted emergency notification systems warning became portal for blame and explanation for unavoidable peril in an uncontrollable Texas flood alley event. Hearts and hands were pulsing hoping to find survivors amid dreary wet debris collection. Governor Abbott Announces New Crisis Support Line For Texans Affected By FloodsIn days to follow, the public were carefully reminded over 850 people and animals were successfully rescued from the treachery of this rainstorm flood. The spectre left haunting the minds of the public and locals were the lost girls and boys from nearby campsites. The rain subsided. The banks of the Guadalupe and their creek tributaries returned to their original tracks. As the waters receded, more cadavers were found. The a local landscape was now misshapen with heaps of drying mud, broken trees, flotsam of moved cars, boats and homes. Somewhere, the missing and lost persons outstanding were being searched among heaping hills of flood detritus. This effort started to absorb help from all across the nation and from Mexico, as cadaver dogs were sent to identify anywhere missing deceased could be found. By the weekend of July 10th the rising outcry was from those who mourned. The losses were howling. Homes were washed away. Shocked surviving families were underneath sudden funeral developments. Around this time, locals began formalizing memorials and holding worship services. After national reporters had cleared out, following President Trump and the First Lady’s visit, the whole Central Texas area became an observance memorial for the missing and the dead as unfinished business over course of a week. There is still much to be done. Volunteers continue moved debris in to piles, extracting homes from trees and hilltops in Ingram, near to the campsites around Highway 39 managed to escape national press corps. Scuba search and rescue from as far as Ohio showed up to find anyone who could be found down from Burnet, Hunt, Ingram, Centerpoint and onward towards the Gulf.

OVERNIGHT REVELATIONS: Why Trump Would Suddenly Take Over the District of Columbia
Yesterday Trump threatened a federal takeover of the District of Columbia, the municipal system adjacent to the U.S. Congress, the Supreme Court and the White House among other institutions in our nations capitol. It dawned on me suddenly, while Texas and California are receiving the lion’s share of national coverage for narco-communist riots, in league with ANTIFA, news of direct action related violence is being deliberately underreported by national news at the U.S. capitol. Also yesterday, Muriel Bowser enacted a citywide youth curfew. All young people who are on the streets past 11 PM this Summer can now be arbitrarily detained. While it protects the majority of youth from straying into trouble afterhours, it does nothing to deter youth participation in daytime violent direct actions taking place since the Summer began. Per prior reporting, youth are being misled into a mistaken political doctrine that random acts of obstructionist chaos, larceny and generalized theft are valid forms of political expression. They are not considered crime by irresponsible communitarian political operatives who use naive youth as disposable, useful idiots. [Update Noon CST 7/9]SEE ALSO: Democrats Demanding Blood; Antifa Delivering ItThis matter remains suspicious as only the murders are being reported. Thefts over the weekend were not necessarily given attribution, as they are parlayed as “political expression” by the DSA left. It presents a question I never thought to ask, what if D.C. based drug gang violence was made a deliberate fixture in this U.S. city to control the capitol’s governing population? The crime impacts mostly the bureau workers, the President’s staff, the standing Congress sitting like ducks in traffic and the local media that cover them. Narco gang insinuation into D.C. culture means open air prostitution, drug exchanges. What naturally follows is public corruption. Perhaps sending ICE into the nation’s capitol to raid out foreign drug gang hostiles with a base there wouldn’t be the worst idea Trump ever had. Jeffrey Epstein’s non-official epitaph is that he blackmailed D.C. players, the rich and powerful with criminal sex appetite. The government denies it for him, as a dead man. I’ll remind those reading, federal agencies do not have a 5th Amendment; while individual actors enmeshed in their corruption play, do. Liberty in Many Directions is a reader-supported publication.

THE DOUBLESPEAK: ICE Raids & Retail Management Wars for/against Chyyna
A DEMAND FOR LABORThe price of being a narcissistic idiot power-tripper is supine business migration to China’s slave markets or market exploitation domestically. There’s the rub.Have you noticed that Trump’s DHS cabinet heads are conspicuously good looking? There’s something to that. Retail Management enforces a certain standard of who they will and won’t listen to; which are beautiful people. They only have two real channels of power: brute force PR and strategic deployment of scarcity. Irregularity and demand in the marketplace controls the price escalation of an item. You can charge more for an item based on artifice of rarity, limited availability and production. When you flood the market with something, the price inevitably goes down. Trump is negotiating global trade tariffs to recondition both global markets and US domestic markets to push manufacturing and trade back towards America; while keeping labor demands to produce goods intact. This is a very tough thing to do given the frailties of markets to labor exchanges. Scott Bessent’s best efforts are helping, but it isn’t a labor demand fix.Here’s something your not told on a regular basis. Just because an undocumented alien is here, does not compel them to supply labor to our markets. They likely will, if they want to earn a living. The black market is where they are forced to go in many cases - with or without some compensation. We think these people are free to choose the work. Wonder what it’s like when a cartel chooses who your new boss will be; which factory you’ll work for to work off your migration travel debts? Sometime it’s a chicken meat packing plant where you lose digits and then are let go. Sometimes it’s a textile factory where you’re sexually assaulted by the floor staff. Sometimes it’s a farm. Sometimes it’s a brothel. Sometimes a chemical trailer, processing meth. DHS has to negotiate and enforce the terms of American labor demands more directly than the U.S. Dept of Labor. Before ICE gets the drop on L.A.’s warehousing and fashion districts, they have to go see Kristi Noem. If they don’t, they see Thom Homan. ICE enforcement head, Thom Homan, who looks and acts his part: tenured grizly law enforcement dad out to “get all the criminals”. HAVE YOU SEEN MIKE LINDELL’s MY PILLOW LATELY? (Not really. I wonder why…)ICE is part labor market enforcement wing of the US government. During the Obama Admin, ICE swept through US factories, food and manufacturing sectors like a weed eater. They completely purged all US based labor that was out of compliance. (So? They were not obeying the law.) Former President Barack Obama is a PRC slave-labor sympathizer and shill. He uses the platform he gets to promote Chinese slave labor as superior to American labor. He couldn’t drive more labor demand into the arms of China at a successful Made-In-America fashion label, like American Apparel, willingly. So he decided to make an example of them at the most vulnerable time, during an aggressive growth trend. Dov made the not-quality decision to employ undocumented laborers in his L.A. factories. When ICE yanked his workforce, his purchase orders went unfulfilled and his business started to fail. Imagine the place Donald Trump is in right now. He bears a burden to both extract criminal aliens, some sleeper agents and child sex traffickers, amid those under the boot of both Chinese and Mexican gang traffickers. All the while markets are screaming constantly under pains of demand fulfillment for labor for orders to fill; which China is only too willing to accommodate. Three years ago it was nearly illegal to depose the fine name of the People’s Republic of China. Here we are, in a domestic front war being waged with: color revolutionary allies in US streets, disposable criminally insane Bolshevist agents, communist ideologues corrupting US federal workforces, and Mexican narco-gangs allies pushing street drugs and flooding the American labor market with cheap slave labor. Go ahead. Deny it. They want you to. Especially, when you read about someone killed by an unlawful alien, fentanyl poisoning or the people forced onto Diddy’s prostitution party-bus headed to a paralytic fueled Freak Off. Go ahead. Deny it. They want you to. Go ahead. Deny it. They want you to. To your peril, fool.American Apparel’s fashion competition [Nike, H&M and fast fashion emergent brands] were compliant with Obama’s globalist requirements to undermine American labor for using the proper communist channels. These trade partners were submissive to commercial reeducation training of C-Level upper management. This ‘price of doing manufacturing’ was simply PRC reality inversion training and more doublespeak. Slavery is not slavery; while it remains an international crime against humanity, prosecutable in the United States. China would also try an entitlement to ‘cleanse’ Americans ‘immoral’ market-based goods and IP through forced trade transfer; while it is clearly a breach of civil & international protections on US business. This later grew into the DEI/SDG sanctions and banking environment and woke indoctrination campaigns to continue business during the pandemic. THE FIXDoes it matter if you piss off an enemy who already thinks everything you do is wrong? Not really. The middle way would create a super well screened worker Visa program for US domestic manufacturing jobs when the workforce is needed to meet demands. To pull out of China is already read as a sanction. Create the legal Visa for low-skilled workers from abroad. Deport the criminal flood partners. Get a grip on American manufacturing. Stop the demand for American citizenship per transaction to appease globalist integration. They’re not using E-Verify. US Government information contractors haunting their exes would be devastated they cannot track US citizens by simply ignoring the 4th Amendment, like it’s a theoretical document. Those interests are usually data fascists, who don’t oppose American failure anyway. So please, don’t indulge them any further. ###FREE SNOWDEN SATURDAY [Every Saturday until Snowden gets a fair hearing and US trial]The Most Wanted Man in the World by James BamfordDEFINITION OF THE DAYWoke Washout n. adv. 1.

When Artificial Intelligence Holds The Hidden Hand of Depopulation
In Tokyo today there is a forty-something man who never made enough consistent income from his technical gig work to hold down a wife and family. He may overspend on gadgets in an apartment the size of a closet, working catch-as-catch can 70 to 90 hours a week to support himself. There is no time for women or children.The Japanese have awesome robotics, yes. They had the first drone operated automobile. They manufacture and invent a lot of highly wonderous gadgetry. They have high performing AI. They have technical craftsmanship and design that is often the envy of US engineers.Their economy had concurrent trouble with national debt levers that lead to a national culture who put years of grinding work ahead of everything. For at least two generations they chose to forsake the advancement of family in work earnings exchange. Their population is now aging to death and is not replacing itself with new children. They’re so overworked, many doubt they’re noticing.Young men in American culture are witnessing a shift in employment losses to Generative AI and AI production adoption.

GREY DELIRIUM: The Blob Moves Parallel Government Target to Capture U.S. Citizenship for UN Social Credit Schemes
Somewhere in America a quasi-lawful academic UN blob/bureau consultant is drumming a writing instrument on a yellow tablet, pinching their upper sinus area on how to manufacture a convict status for US citizens practicing legal objection within the scope of their rights. There has always been a latent working means in the US government to use force on Americans, guilty of no wrong, to demean their citizenship and deplete their legal means to resist federated invasion of their privacy. They do this to possess an illegitimate arbitrary power, like stocking a weapons larder. They have to operate in a legal haze of public delusion, misting the public in a grey foggy delirium that they will use anyone as a tool to enforce their will. They’ve done this before using academic authority as camouflage. Today they coast. Trump’s non-secret personal desire to strip the U.S. citizenship of anyone born here for crimes, or his unprofessional displeasure, makes Deep State continuity comfortable and warm, corrupting their chairs. They have yet to fully mobilize their class of useful idiots enlisted during the pandemic. These are the same socialist convert class of fools who rejected their own natural rights. They obeyed orders from random civil rules authority to abandon their families to harm, trading down for a bi-monthly vaccine from Pfizer/Moderna. They’re easy to pick out of a crowd. Many of them are young people who tried to neuter themselves after a Trans-cult conversion to a anarcho-socialist purism in 2020. Many are still wearing a paper medical mask in solidarity with the SARS-CCP trainers who want American communist rules. They became online enforcers, as everyone was forced to live & work online. Anarchist street thieves, black-listers and dox armies started voluntarily carrying water for global governments to enforce rules-based autocracy on Americans. This illegal takeover included sanctions, transactional surveillance and corporate platform driven censorship commissioned by the GEC, CISA(DHS), Europe, the CDC, WHO and the grand wizards at the Intelligence community. Unfortunately, all this did was wise over 90% of the country who came to know there was a Deep State using GDR social-control psychological work on U.S. citizens. It opened the eyes of the hidden hand of communism in the marketplace using China’s networks, their armies and online platforms. It exposed USAID for the traitorous corruption laundromat that it became and the billions in waste and fraud abuses that it betrayed. PALANTIR & ‘SAVE’ DATABASE Then Donald Trump was re-elected. The idea was he would right all pandemic wrongs. People are waiting on the one who would bring justice by gutting a core, unaccountable government body. The US government currently still has an employee harbor of constituencies who regularly indulge in the open advocacy of eugenics in central planning, narco-cartel sympathies and Bolshevik revolutions using the US prison system. “But first we have to get all these illegals out of here…”DHS & the State Department are not the only functionary agencies of the United States government. Yet, Trump, and the Republican data redundancy caucus, bill everything as solved by identifying the citizen as means to seize upon the ‘criminal migrant’. It’s a decades old trope that amounts to never catching the ‘criminal migrant’ and mounting US costs for American data exposure. The U.S. government has all the data they will ever need. DHS has E-Verify, REAL ID, and all the pocket detritus aggregated at the Fusion Centers. They have the Visa administrators at the State Department. Apparently, it will never be enough to feed the tech contractor class who only gets paid when they build another data storage shed. Republicans demanded and appropriated for another mass identity database. They manufacture third party streams for the government’s data; which is your sensitive data. You don’t see a dime. What you can do is can opt-out of Palantir’s legacy data brokering permissions from prior Obama & Trump administrations if you’re a U.S. Citizen. Immigrants enjoy no such privilege under the Privacy Act of 1974.Palantir’s new project is called SAVE. It’s psychologically driven by transactional targeting of anyone by Palantir, a much controverted global government contractor. It doesn’t make it any easier that ‘Suddenly Contras’ in the American left diaspora no longer conceal as nonviolent as they perform enforcement obstruction crimes, including targeting ICE officers homes and families. Again, they are acting as cartel interest enforcers for communist governments by doxing ICE agents, threatening them at detention facilities and making process excuses for sanctuary policies that don’t legitimate migration status, but pin down an grey underclass of low skilled labor, deprecating American wage earning. The federal government has multiplicities of ISEs or Information Sharing Environments who were never decommissioned after Obama. They abused FISA license and used purchase client license to dispatch the warrant process. They spend tax appropriations on data scale projects to the delight of self-dealing tech PACs.Now derided, tech billionaire elitists are now simply turning to the current Powers That Be for money and contracts, as they always did. These are the very same enterprise level data-fascists who slept with leftist political classes of America’s financial centers. This includes their think-tanks at DARPA, MIT and their VC capital administrators and doing business with the world’s rival governments. Palantir’s stock simply moved up because population cull services employing datalust are now Trump’s favourite. SEE ALSO: Clearview AI receives first direct contracts with U.S. Border PatrolThere is legislation now out to prohibit US defense and federal contractors from also doing business with rival adversary governments across the globe. However, nothing is going to ring in the ears of a Congressional committee like a compliant about processing your government derived information, using a third-party contractor, without your consent. That’s unlawful. If you didn’t give the Trump administration your consent to place your information in this new SAVE database, you can contact both Palantir and your U.S. Congressional leadership to demand an opt-out.Then you don’t have to worry.

VIGNETTE: U.S. Citizenship Isn't 'Theoretical'
Citizenships are being revoked due to applications under false pretenses. Donald Trump is the same man he was in 2015. He flagged the US citizenship of a sitting President, born to an American citizen as if he were not an American.You are going to have to watch Donald Trump. The fascists in his ear, like the communists in Obama’s ear, will demean the rights of legitimate U.S. citizenship. So let Constitutionalists get in his ear. Let people who value the whole Bill of Rights as an integral legal document get in his ear. Mass surveillance and the USA PATRIOT Act are not gone done and over with. FISA abuses are still speculative. The US Constitution is not theoretical toilet tissue and this is not a Cuban free range gulag. Pay attention to what happens to your citizenship treatment.

An Earthquake, a Power Outage and a Scorpion
SOMETHING’S GOTTA GIVEApproximately 1 minute after I posted this Note at Substack, there was an area power outage, with origins by train tracks in South Austin. Where does the mind go when that happens? Sitting in the dark, I suddenly had time on my hands to consider the possibility Iran might have a thin-skinned Substack social media surveillance team monitoring US speech on the attacks in Iran. It was tempting to think this team was ordered to conduct a reflexive cyberattack; resulting in a hyperlocal power outage based on my remarks at Substack ‘Notes’. However, reason prevailed. While my remark may have possibly triggered insult somewhere in the online world, I don’t think the Ayatollah’s men give two hoots about my Notes. Although, I wouldn’t put it past online imposters to claim responsibility, wrap themselves in a half-Iran/Palestine/+ LGBTQIA flag; while yelling,"Allah Akbar, Free Palestine,” on their TikTok hostage video feed.I suddenly had time to sit and think critically of US’s role in Israel’s permanent nuclear-powered conflict with Iran. The President’s opinion on matters of Iran’s possession of a bomb, differed from that of the Intel chief’s. Differences of opinion on war intel has happened before, during and after wars in U.S. history with a variety of US Presidents. That doesn’t make Tulsi Gabbard ineffectual. Donald Trump will disfavor US Intel community reports on matters of conflict; which we knew already, because…Trump.SEE ALSO: Israel spies on everyone. It’s not okay.What was the likelihood that an earthquake would suddenly rattle the underground innards of Iran apart from the, “I may. I may not, B2. Here’s a clock. See you in 2 weeks. Yours truly, Donald Trump,” reality show? It was a startling surprise that strongly resembled an act of disfavor from Israel’s also permanent regional oversight power, Jehovah God. As the sun was setting, we got the chance to speak to bewildered neighbors about the outage. There was a mixture of annoyance visit, common interest, solutions vigil and crisis excitement witnessed in small gatherings. It’s a good feeling to know you’re well prepared for a power outage. Themes of power, darkness and light, smallness and poison played out through the early evening.A short time later, I observed my cats being curious over a small scorpion by the bedroom entrance. We cornered the guy and made our demands he come out with his claws up or face deadly use of a big spray. He did not comply with our demands unfortunately. He was sprayed as he retreated further into the crevasses of the walls.A short time later the power returned. Later I retreated to the shower to wash away the day’s treacheries. After exiting the shower, I discovered what appeared to be a curl of hair in a small washrag drying on the floor. I picked it up, taking steps toward the trash can when it moved suddenly in my hand. I dropped it with an alarm shout and then peered down at the ‘hair’. It was not hair, but a 3 inch long common striped bark scorpion who had escaped capture earlier. I was shaken, not stung by some miracle of divine providence or protection. The scorpion was clearly impaired, very possibly dying from the earlier bug spray intervention. It sought and found the cooling solace of the damp washrag. We hustled to clear the bathroom of the small, poisonous creature. I later reflected the entire evening was a panoptic exam of signs of power, great and small, entering my humble world by force. Regardless of what was happening to us, just over my porch in a small ostentatious bird house, a pair of wrens were feeding their new family. All was well after all, they were steadily on task with the sunrise.I did wonder if the oustered scorpion became baby bird food.EUGENICS CRIME BEATEugenicism is a grand source of public terrorism causing mass human death, illness and other casualty. As I state the obvious, I need to ask my subscriber base, what would happen to you if you suddenly started lobbying world leaders on mass kill campaigns using opulent bribery bait and extortion? If the answer is, “I would be arrested for conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism (biological attacks, mass poisoning & famine campaigns, arbitrary poverty repression and psychological despair campaigning),” you are correct. It is simpler than corruption. If you contend with the compromise offer from the corrupt, everything will complicate. I would reason with any Attorney General or law enforcement body seeking the right and better protection of the public, the weaker public, children and disabled to please file charges on known eugenics NGO’s, nonprofits and to conduct a broad based investigation (arrest and prosecution) into the International terrorism aims directed at the world by, for and with The Bilderberg Group and associated persons sought as eugenics instruments.SUMMMER OF NGO (pronounced ‘no’)As Congress is urged to to expedite the recission of funds for USAID’s reign of terror finance of American color revolutions, we have to be vigilant for acts of organized street violence this Summer by ‘Juneatics’.

Sober Reporters Are Saying China is Now Drinking the Milkshake of the Americas
There is a generalized grumpy, rancor in America. The People are feeling an economic pinching that comes from an involuntary diet of less and less, couched as more. They’re sick of the chronic business culture of gaslighting, both consumer and the supply chain, and hidden relations with CCP business requirements. They’re also sick of the compulsion to use PRC toll lanes in traffic and the poisonously passive aggressive supply chains from communist nation states. Black markets for under the table labor (who speak only Spanish) used pervasively by small businesses are not getting the exchange answers they need quid pro quo. No one is answering squarely. They’re answering in emotionally hungover storms from someone cornered for dishonesty. And it’s everywhere. So it’s time to get honest and get answers. Not everyone is going to get what they want, the way that they want it. It would be good to get a square answer on what’s going on with a U.S. militarized border. Why are the National Guard there if alien trespassers are not being deported? These are the questions outstanding. I will share with you what I do know and what has been changing. In this candid edition, we pull in two different voices from a geographic range from Canada to Central America to lace together what may become the next midterm election football: WTF are we doing about American domestic entrenchments of PRC aggressors, drug kingpins and land grabbers?SOURCESCULTURAL CYPHERS OF FORCES AT PLAYLiberty in Many Directions is a reader-supported publication.

AFTERBURNER: Voter ID Passes House, Still Not Dealing With Elections Corruption
The US House of Representatives passed a version of the SAVE Act to federate voter ID at every election. The accusations from Republicans are, “You want illegals to vote,” & “You’re the opposite party,”. I don’t believe in the democratic efficacy of this duopolist party system - at all. People do get elected, true. However, they don’t typically defend my US Constitutional liberty. They overgovern and make us pay for it. They then hold up an example of European civil governments, as if it’s an ideal. Governments which are now crumbling under the decay of incremental socialism. Identity mandates are criminal enforcement cosplay. The game is to make you prove who you are to get what you need as a power trip. They hold up a picture of the suspect and then make you pay for their crimes with mass surveillance and chronic inspection. This isn’t freedom.We are in slow motion jeopardy of losing so much more liberty if we don’t back out of Republican-tooled incremental modern German socialism. It has to be said because they have a Super Majority right now.This is not naziism. No, no. This is the “rational”, self-validating, rubber stamped bureau-think that Hannah Arendt complained about existing in some serpentine form in every Westernized office.I’m not going to ever “get over” identity mandates when all they do is place limits on what I need to do legally when I commit no crime, pay taxes and do what is asked of me. What do you think? Do you love dealing with global EU-styled incrementalism when you go to vote? Will that not be weaponized by a totalitarian when they’re in office? Does it actually stop illegals from voting in elections when it’s already a crime? Why won’t anyone enforce the law on an election crime ring? The Republican answer every time is: turn your brain off, here’s an ID - do what we want. That’s not freedom. Liberty in Many Directions is a reader-supported publication.

SXSW '25 REPORT: US Intellectual Property Enforcement in A.I. Is Mission Critical
SXSW this year covered the electric car and automated vehicles in the streets. Waymo, [Google]Alphabet’s automated car, has been providing some rideshare services and mapping in the streets of downtown Austin for a little while. This shiny governance & policy object attracted the attentions of Illinois governor JB Pritzker and South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster. That meant in some cases bomb sweep technicians and secret State service skirted quickly around some of the SXSW AI sessions. The more controversial sessions covered (AI enabled) mental health applications using brain chips (BCIs) to manage people who are depressed, expedite US pill regulatory conventions using a combination of calculations on molecules and the poor medical ethics of Chinese human testing (most likely using Falun Gong and other Chinese dissidents). Journalist complained about the deletion of key library and training search terms* in AI automation used by DEI dictat. [*They can always reassert word terms in a different context, because language without government subsidy is legal in 1st Amendment law.]While other developers tried to manage consumer use case questions about how data is training models for education purposes, cyber investigations and surveillance. However, the biggest auditorium magnets for AI was fair use and intellectual property policy voiced at the crisis inflection point to preserve human culture. John Hegel, author of The Journey Beyond Fear, gave a standing room only talk about opportunity models for data intermediaries to hedge against IP theft and abuse of copyrighted material. AI legal speakers for Andreesen & Horowitz, public affairs and VC capital for AI small innovators [Y combinator], indicated a decentralized pathway out of Tech feudal oligarchies in emerging AI policy. Small technologists as innovators are dependent now on support of antitrust, in a lowered regulatory environment. SEE ALSO: * TURN YOUR DATA INTO ASSETS (Responsibly) at Personal Digital Spaces* Thomson Reuters scores early win in AI copyright battles in the US* Thomson Reuters v. Ross Intelligence: Copyright, Fair Use, and AI (Round One)* Court: Training AI Model Based on Copyrighted Data Is Not Fair Use as a Matter of LawSmall businesses are the self employment alternative to being a worker facing HR’s integration of AI tools. Most of AI-for-work developers shared how the tools work from LLMs and AI Agents are meant to shed highly detailed but mercilessly repetitive tasks like: data entry, repeat calculations analysis after a digital render, find & replace functions and more. While some project an anticipation to the end of all work by AI replacement, others see paths forward to unencumbered freedom from tasks that demand too much time for low yield of results. Others credibly fear being discarded and micromanaged under a cloud of transactional estimation from bots trained on biased material priorities by their bosses. The trick for labor disputes is to negotiate the Black Box boundary where training data layer transparency can be traced back to demands for specific programming prompts by the business against notorious operations ‘tenting’ or siloed project management. This would suss out bids to perform functions later found to be quantifiably harmful, transgressive of personal rights or simply biased against human interest. SEE ALSO: OpenAI Says DeepSeek Could ‘Be Compelled’ to Cause Harm, Calls for BanYou began to hear a common thread as technologists and creative artists demanded means from one another to provide cloud housing for technical security and IP legal enforcement to stave off AI poaching of now and future works. Complications with Europe splitting off AI innovation as current strategy, given DSA and AI Act regulations, were discussed with some bracing and some of a wait-&-see approach. Antitrust is seen as a given reliable path to ensuring no one national government can command all of the IP capital or creative equity and personal data at the same time.SEE ALSO: EU Lawmakers Push Back on U.S. Criticism of Tech Antitrust RegulationOne thing is for sure, Tesla has an American electronic auto competitor in Rivian. Their 100% American made electric car sales start at $80,000. The big sale point for us is Rivian’s ability to manage privacy settings in electronic dashboard to switch off GPS and data sharing inside the cars. They’re now competition, not only to Tesla, but GMC and other American car makers who install heavy surveillance capability inside newer models with no way to shut involuntary data sharing down. It was Obama-era electric car makers who chose to sell private locating [GIS] information to global government “marketplace exchanges” to insure margins on their products, not the US consumer. That’s how a 2012 dumb Subaru became a coveted car, not necessarily for safety or performance. For those who want an electric car, you can have privacy & American made certainty in a vehicle that works. THE MUSIC OF SXSW ‘25This conference is most known for producing the best music showcases.

No One Wants A Phoney-Baloney Pony For Christmas
This is our non-fancy Christmas edition of the [Un]Sanctioned Citizen. It’s as basic as this economy is. Guess what? Christmas is still for all of the children, who still need 100% of their gifts and other stuff. I nominate Lil’ Wayne & Chris Brown to go find about $7 million in public restitution to go pay child support TODAY. (+How is Chris Brown a free man for being such an absolute dirtbag? [Checks date] YEP. Still an evil dirtbag.) These men will give a new meaning to clean coal when they sponsor some elderly woman’s stove or community BBQ smoker with all the naughty deposits dropped off by Santa this Christmas. I volunteer those thieving ‘elves’ who helped Wayne & Brown help themselves to the public COVID money to double up on labor to alleviate someone else’s suffering. What did I get you for Christmas?

At the Crossroads
The most important thing to remember next to now is to be right with God. Political prosecutions happened in the age of Jesus. They happen today. If this is your primary concern, I have good news. God may not save you from jail or a humiliating prosecution in an American court system for cause. However, if you can recognize mercy where it may be found, God can still save your soul. The only hope any of us really have in this life is to get the mercy of God. You don’t need any special wisdom or intelligence. You just have to understand who God is and that He is not you. Then you ask God for mercy over your crimes.There will always be self-deceived people who want power over everyone, anyone. They never turned anything over to God. If you’re the smart criminal in this scenario, lay down your weapons of mass delusion. Realize you are hung up next to the innocent, one true God, sent to take your place in hell and one other powerless evil guy who has no future. Then surrender to God. You may never be “special” again, but you’re special to God. One life turned from away from trending self-worship covers multitudes of error.

OCTOBER SUPRISE!! The Scorpion Is Stinging Itself.
So so much happened this week. It’s not even going to be what you were paying attention to. The Research Triangle managed to stay out of this week’s North Carolina disaster news. The region's growing high-technology community includes such companies as IBM, Lenovo, SAS Institute, Cisco Systems, NetApp, Red Hat, EMC Corporation, and Credit Suisse First Boston. In addition to high-tech, the region is consistently ranked in the top three in the U.S. with concentration in life science companies. Some of these companies include GlaxoSmithKline, Biogen Idec, BASF, Merck & Co., Novo Nordisk, Novozymes, and Pfizer.

HEY TAXPAYER!! Uniparty PMCs Broker the Identity Mandate (forever) Contracts
SO. Austin, Texas got a visit from Janet Yellen yesterday. Yellen was here to applaud the IRS collection of 1.3 BN in taxes from evasive payers. This is her bureaucratic summary offer during an oppressive inflationary economic period. I did mention to Texas leadership and Secretary representation she could sanction to the cartel criminals, if she wants a tax evaders slush fund now. Asset forfeiture on PRC triad properties and Sinaloa cash accounts might make a small dent, if this is actually about money vs. modern monetary theory.*I have also mentioned to national leadership they could add the PRC triads, Mexican and Central American cartels to the US Treasury Sanctions lists, but I have seen no news of movement on that, yet. To date the Yakuza are sanctioned transnational criminal gangs but the foreign gangs inside our borders are not. (Figure that one out.)

Uh ohhhh... it's Majic.
Many people did not take the trial of Donald J. Trump seriously. The State of New York didn’t even manifest a real crime to prosecute until days prior to the court closure. The prosecution interviewed people who were openly discredited. Stormy Daniels former lawyer and prosecutor, Michael Avanatti, lost his case initially against Donald Trump in 2016- 2017 given the same evidence and same cast of characters. Avenatti later ended up in prison for extortion of former clients. How could the State of New York win a case based on what really looks like double jeopardy? They might claim it was a different prosecution. It was certainly a rehash of 2015’s lawfare arguments against Donald Trump using the porn star and his fixer. It looked like they tried the same case and decided the outcome ahead of time. Many people concluded on the free and unfettered merits of their own opinion this case was a rigged show trial in an effort to imprison or capture their opponent during a general election. Donald Trump never had to utter a word. A MAJICAL PROSECUTION & “A MAJESTIC DAY” For years, people have known about a top tier national security group of unelected, and reputedly untouchable government appointees known as Majestic level or Majic-12. This week in an exceptionally rare move, majestic claimed or was given responsibility for an act of lawfare terrorism, politically motivated violence or warlike use of force, in the legal case of Donald Trump. I have one rule about conspiracy theories. It’s not a government conspiracy if you are paying for it. It’s just corruption and abuse of the office against the interests of The People of The United States - the other POTUS. The weirdest irony of this is that Majic manifests as the most imperious form of hidden US Republic government running in the background without public consent. Yet, they convey their contempt of public approval to lead by defining these lawfare acts as “democracy” as One-party statists. It is clear they want zero legal competition in a public election where a KENNEDY could not be admitted to the Democratic ticket.

ABOUT THIS SHOW
A news and information offensive against those responsible for IP theft, privacy infringement losses and tying US rights around global trade deficits with APAC (CCP). They may hide behind carefully layered NGOs, complicit E&C fixer firms to scrub out dissent or competition, but we have you in our sights: Big Tech, Big Media, and their politicos. Now it's time to tell the rest of the world what we know and see every day and which locals paved the path to hell with other people's information. sheilamdean.substack.com
