Minneapolis. May 21, 1934.

America was deep in the Great Depression.

Truck drivers in Minneapolis worked nearly 90 hours a week for around $12 while many families struggled to afford food during one of the hardest economic collapses in U.S. history.

The city was controlled by a powerful organization called the Citizens Alliance, a group of wealthy business owners who had spent years crushing unions and keeping workers powerless.

When truck drivers from Teamsters Local 574 finally went on strike demanding better wages and conditions, the Alliance decided to break them by force.

Police alone were not enough.

So businessmen created their own army.

Hundreds of bankers, lawyers, executives, and wealthy businessmen were sworn in as temporary “Special Deputies.” Many had never faced real violence before. They were handed badges and wooden clubs and sent into the Warehouse District to protect strikebreaking trucks.

The rich men expected workers to scatter.

Instead, they walked into a trap.

The drivers were organized. They had lookouts, medical teams, communication systems, and hundreds of determined workers waiting nearby.

Then the signal went out.

From alleys and side streets, nearly 600 striking drivers suddenly charged forward carrying bats, sticks, and pipes.

No speeches.

No negotiations.

Just fury from men tired of watching their families starve while powerful people treated them as disposable.

The Special Deputies panicked almost immediately.

Their lines collapsed. Clubs were dropped in the streets as businessmen ran through alleys and over fences trying to escape.

Newspapers later called the humiliating defeat “The Battle of Deputies Run.”

But the violence was not over.

Months later, during what became known as “Bloody Friday,” police opened fire on strikers, inj*ring dozens and triggering massive protests across Minneapolis.

Eventually, federal officials intervened.

The union won recognition.

Wages improved.

Worker protections expanded.

And for one moment during the Depression, ordinary workers forced some of the most powerful men in the city to realize something terrifying.

Money could buy badges.

But it could not guarantee obedience forever.

Story based on historical records. This post is for educational purposes.

 

PALANTIR is a national security threat, according to two high-level sources in the Ministry of Defence.

Two senior systems engineers reportedly warned on Friday against government involvement with the US security and AI tech firm, which has received millions in contracts in Britain’s public sector.

The insiders contradicted earlier statements from a department spokesperson who claimed that “all data remains sovereign and under the ownership of the MoD.”

They condemned the statements as ignorant and misleading, according to reporting from the Nerve website.

“Ministers clearly have a lack of understanding of Palantir’s technology” and are “missing the point entirely,” one source said.

“[They’re] missing the realities of data scraping, of aggregation and the fact that Palantir is building its own rich picture of our nation that they can use for their own ends.

“Allowing a single entity, foreign or domestic, to have such far-reaching, pervasive access is inherently dangerous. How our national cybersecurity centre has allowed this beggars belief.”

Despite the department claiming the data will remain in public hands, the whistleblowers warned that insights extracted from the data are not protected from the tech company.

“Palantir does not need to own the data or even have stewardship. They can extract, transform and exploit the metadata to build their own rich picture.”

A second source with a background in intelligence said Palantir probably has “a complete profile on the whole UK population. At the very least I’d call that a security risk.”

Defence Minister Luke Pollard previously said: “All data used and developed in Palantir’s software deployed across the Ministry of Defence will remain under the ownership of the MoD.”

A spokesman for Palantir said: “These entirely false claims have no grounding in fact and no serious media outlet would report them.”

 

Jeffrey Epstein (update) - Peter Thiel must be investigated, he must be fired and he must be held accountable for his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. The MOB is protecting him; we need to put the pressure on.

Palantir Founder & Chairman Peter Thiel contacted Jeffrey Epstein to exchange advice after the press first reported on Epstein's crimes:⁣

⁣

"I do hope you're holding up well, and that the cycle won't go much further. ... Do you have any sense on whether this press cycle is going to keep escalating? It would be good to compare notes at some point, on strategies on this sort of stuff." (EFTA00865818)

Palantir is alleged to be heavily tied to technology for Israel's war in Gaza. Alex Karp, Founder & Chairman at Palantir Alex Karp has repeatedly and publicly declared solidarity with Israel, saying the company is “proud” to support Israel after October 7 and acknowledging that his stance has caused employee departures, a sign that support is not merely transactional but also rhetorical and organizationally prioritized.

Palantir held a full board meeting in Tel Aviv and announced a “strategic partnership” with the Israeli Ministry of Defense to supply technology for military use, framing the relationship as an explicit operational collaboration rather than a limited commercial customer contract.

It is quite coincidental how people surrounding the files that are being protected are linked to Israel.

In September 2025: Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden (introduced a bill), of Oregon, has demanded that the Treasury Department hand over documents related to the sex trafficker’s finances, which The New York Times revealed in June included $40 million in investments to a Thiel-backed firm.

Those investments in Valar Ventures, in 2015 and 2016, are now worth nearly $170 million and are reportedly the Epstein estate’s largest asset. Now, Wyden wants a closer look at how—and why—an alleged $1.5 billion moved between Thiel, Epstein, and 70 other “co-conspirators.”

We cannot expect that these people will continue to investigate themselves. They knew about Epstein's crimes and are hoping the issue just goes away. We need an independent committee comprised of citizens to investigate and prosecute these offenders.

Is the United States moving into a new political formation that is not fascism in the old sense, but something even colder: a “techno-oligarchy” that seeks to replace human judgment, democratic process, and the rule of law with automated systems of control? I explore this in my latest Substack essay (see link in comments).

We need to zero in on the deep transition now underway: from law, which is slow, interpretive, and mediated by human beings, to code, which executes instantly and admits no appeal. In such a system, institutions like government, journalism, universities, and even basic rights can be dissolved into data flows and private platforms. AI does not simply assist governance. Increasingly, powerful actors imagine AI becoming governance. What used to require deliberation, friction, and accountability gets replaced by machine-speed decision-making, whether in housing, employment, policing, surveillance, or war.

Reviewing Anton Shekhovtsov’s analysis of “techno-oligarchy,” I argue that this order does not mobilize society around a collective destiny. It hollows out the state while preserving coercion. It treats human beings not as citizens but as units of value, risk, and utility. In this framework, those who fall behind can be excluded, locked out, or even erased. After all, human beings are seen as obsolete, slowing down the progress toward a cyborg utopia.

In the U.S., we are living in a failed state where the system pushes growing numbers of Americans toward homelessness, despair and rage. As inequality deepens and democratic channels are blocked, resistance may spread in unpredictable forms. If the ruling class refuses to meet basic human needs, social breakdown, resistance and revolt will become rational alternatives to many. 

 

Addendum: We have been inundated to be canonicals by our government. We have been taught since birth to be motley worms, and clowns in the court of the hell created to sustain our pitiful existence of slavery by those who rule us, and to not only accept it, but defend it. 

 

Okay - I went DEEP on this - and I want everyone to PAY ATTENTION.

There will be a test.

So one network had two huge wins this week and the guy at the center of it isn't getting named in either story.

Have you heard of Leonard Leo? The Federalist Society guy. The one who helped build the current conservative Supreme Court majority and advised Trump on who to put on it, then went off to do bigger stuff.

On April 29 the conservative Supreme Court majority he helped build handed down what voting-rights advocates say is the biggest rollback of the Voting Rights Act in decades.

On May 4 the Department of Education opened a federal civil rights investigation into Smith College for admitting trans women. Totally different fights. Totally different agencies. Totally different legal frameworks. Nobody putting them in the same story.

But the same $1.6 billion dark money network is sitting behind both of them.

I had to dig into this one because honestly when the Smith news dropped I thought it was just another Trump trans panic move. Standard culture war stuff. Then I saw the complaint came from a group called Defending Education, and the name rang a bell from the parental rights school board stuff a couple years ago, and I started pulling on the thread.

Defending Education is run by Nicole Neily. She's a Koch network lifer - Cato, FreedomWorks, Competitive Enterprise Institute, all the usual suspects. The group says it's grassroots moms, which, lol.

According to IRS filings summarized by SourceWatch, the group paid Leonard Leo's PR firm CRC Advisors $1,392,656 between 2021 and 2024 for "strategy" and "public relations." Their legal work runs through Consovoy McCarthy, a firm that has worked extensively on conservative civil rights cases. Neily's other nonprofit, Speech First, got $750,000 from Leo's 85 Fund.

So Leo's nonprofit hub gives money to one Neily group, and a different Neily group pays Leo's for-profit firm. The money goes in a circle. The "grassroots parents" are a pass-through.

So when "a parents group" filed the Smith complaint, that's not a parents group. That's a Leo-network-aligned operation using a friendlier brand name.

OK let me explain how the money actually works because once you see it you can't unsee it.

In 2022 an Illinois businessman named Barre Seid gave $1.6 billion to a Leo entity called Marble Freedom Trust. Largest political donation in American history.

That money flows from Marble through a donor-advised fund at Schwab Charitable, which then grants it to Leo's main funding hubs, the 85 Fund and the Concord Fund.

Those funds then grant it out to all the nonprofits doing the actual fights - judicial groups, parents groups, election groups, "free speech" groups.

Schwab in the middle is the anonymity layer. When the 85 Fund's tax return says "we got our money from Schwab Charitable," nobody can trace it back to Marble, which means nobody can trace it back to Seid. The donors stay anonymous.

A significant amount of Leo-network nonprofit money has flowed back to Leo's own for-profit firm CRC Advisors - over $100 million since 2020, according to Court Accountability's Lisa Graves. He owns three houses now including a $3.3 million Tudor in Maine that he paid cash for in 2021. The network's nonprofit money also flows into his private consulting operation.

That's the machine. Now the wins.

Win one is Callais. The case was about a Louisiana map that restored a second majority-Black district and led to the election of a second Black representative. A group of "non-African American" voters sued to kill the map. Alito wrote the 6-3 opinion holding the map was unconstitutional and substantially narrowed how racial-gerrymandering claims can be brought going forward. Critics say the ruling shifts the fight toward proving intentional racial discrimination, making Section 2 claims much harder to win.

Kagan in the dissent said it makes Section 2 "all but a dead letter."

The conservative majority that wrote that opinion came through the judicial pipeline Leo helped build.

And the response was immediate.

Tennessee pulled off the most aggressive move. The day after Callais, Trump posted that Governor Bill Lee was going to redraw Tennessee's map. Lee called a special session two days later.

The session opened May 5. On May 7 the legislature repealed a 1972 state law that had banned mid-decade redistricting for fifty years, passed an entirely new congressional map that carves Memphis into three pieces, eliminates the state's only majority-Black district, and pushes toward a 9-0 Republican delegation.

Lee signed it all into law. Same day.

The NAACP filed a lawsuit within three hours.

They repealed a fifty-year-old law and passed a brand new map in three days. You don't draw a map like that in a weekend. You don't repeal a fifty-year-old statute in a weekend. Somebody had this ready.

Alabama filed an emergency request the day after Callais to bring back maps a lower court had already thrown out for being racially gerrymandered. Florida started redistricting immediately. Three Republican states moving in the same week, with more lining up behind them.

Win two is Smith.

Smith College is a 155-year-old women's college in western Massachusetts. The kind of place that shows up in old movies as a stand-in for "smart, slightly intimidating young women in cardigans." They've been admitting trans women since 2015, which is to say, for over a decade, on the simple logic that a women's college admits people who identify as women. Nobody outside the school cared. It wasn't a fight.

Then last spring Smith handed an honorary degree to Rachel Levine. You might remember Levine. She's the trans former Assistant Secretary for Health under Biden, the first openly trans federal official ever confirmed by the Senate, and basically Trumpworld's favorite person to put in attack ads. The Trump campaign featured her face in ads going after Kamala in 2024. Right's been obsessed with her for years.

Smith invited her to commencement. Gave her a degree. That was the trigger.

Defending Education - Nicole Neily's group, the one running money in a circle with Leonard Leo - filed a complaint with the Department of Education. On May 4, the Trump administration opened a federal civil rights investigation into Smith for, and I'm quoting here, "admitting biological men and granting them access to women-only spaces, including dormitories, bathrooms, locker rooms, and athletic teams."

The "victims" in the complaint are "biological women" who somehow got harmed by Smith admitting trans women. There are no actual women being denied admission. Smith takes any applicant who identifies as a woman, period. There's no named student who came forward saying their rights were violated. No incident. No event. Just a policy that exists, and the possibility that someday, maybe, somebody could feel like their rights got taken away.

That's the move. Sue over something that has not happened to anyone. Get the precedent before the harm exists, so by the time anyone could have actually been harmed, the door is already closed.

We've seen this play before. The clearest example is 303 Creative, the Colorado web designer who sued for the right to refuse to make wedding websites for same-sex couples. She had never been asked to make a wedding website for a same-sex couple. She did not have a wedding website business. The "request" she cited in her court filing turned out to be from a guy who was straight, already married to a woman, and had never contacted her.

The Supreme Court ruled in her favor anyway, 6-3, and carved a First Amendment loophole into public accommodations law over a customer who did not exist.

Now look at what the Trump administration is doing with executive orders. Designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization with no specific act tied to a specific person. Deporting people under the Alien Enemies Act based on tattoos that might indicate gang membership. The whole pre-crime architecture, where you get punished for what the government thinks you might do, not what you did.

The Smith investigation is the same logic applied to civil rights enforcement. Stop waiting for harm. Open the case on the possibility of harm. Let the threat of losing federal funding do the work of forcing the school to change its policy before anyone has actually been hurt by anything.

Listen. I've written about Leo before, mostly the climate cases - his network funds the lawsuits while ProPublica documents him paying for the justices' vacations. The Smith case is the same playbook in a new costume. The lawyers are there. The plaintiffs are pre-built. The PR is pre-positioned. The federal agencies are now staffed by people from the same conservative legal world.

Leo's network isn't waiting for harm. They're manufacturing the precedent in advance. Callais was queued for years. The Smith complaint sat at the DOE for ten months. Tennessee passed a brand new map and repealed a fifty-year-old law in three days. Alabama filed the day after Callais. None of this was improvised. They're firing on all cylinders.

The press will cover Callais as a voting rights story and Smith as a trans story and nobody is going to put them in the same paragraph. But the donor map does. The money runs in a circle and the circle includes both fights.

If you're a Black voter in Louisiana watching your district disappear, and you're a trans student at Smith watching the federal government try to throw you out of your school, you don't have the same enemy on paper. You have the exact same enemy on the bank statements.

And if you're on the left and you've been watching this from the sidelines wondering why we keep losing, the answer is simple.

They've been planning all of this for decades. Now, they show up to every fight with the lawyers, the plaintiffs, the PR, the donors, and the federal agencies already lined up.

Time to stop watching and start taking notes.

HUMANITY JUST FAILED A SPIRITUAL TEST IN FULL PUBLIC VIEW

And predators learned something terrifying about humanity this year.

The most dangerous part of the Epstein scandal is what happened after the shock.

Because a civilization reveals its soul by what it refuses to confront.

“Look over here.”

“Look over there.”

“Quick… the next crisis.”

“The next war.”

“The next outrage.”

“The next distraction.”

When I was young, I became fascinated with magicians.

Doug Henning.

Harry Houdini.

Masters of illusion.

I studied sleight of hand, misdirection, the psychology of perception.

A master magician understands something profound…

Human attention can be hijacked.

Even brilliant minds trained to observe carefully can be emotionally redirected away from what matters most when the nervous system gets flooded with stimulation, fear, novelty, outrage, and overload.

And now the entire world functions like one giant stage act.

Shock.

Fear.

Outrage.

Distraction.

Redirection.

Repeat.

Attention hijacked.

Conscience diluted.

Humanity catches a glimpse of something horrifying…

then instantly gets emotionally herded toward the next firestorm before collective reckoning ever lands.

That is the mechanism.

Keep humanity moving fast enough and people never fully stop to absorb what just happened.

Never fully land.

Never fully confront.

Never fully reckon.

Never fully act.

We are being trained into perpetual motion.

Perpetual reaction.

Perpetual stimulation.

Perpetual emotional exhaustion.

A civilization trapped in constant reaction loses the capacity for deep reckoning.

And deep reckoning is exactly what this moment demands.

Because the Epstein revelations opened a doorway into something darker than politics.

Darker than scandal.

Darker than corruption.

Human trafficking.

The desecration of innocence.

The abuse of children.

Predatory networks operating behind wealth, influence, intimidation, blackmail, and power.

Humanity saw enough to understand the smell of rot.

And now the machine wants everyone emotionally rushed toward the next thing.

“Look at the UFOs.”

“Look at the war.”

“Look at the markets.”

“Look at the next political circus.”

Meanwhile the deepest wound remains open.

And here is the part that should shake every soul awake…

A civilization capable of seeing evil clearly…

feeling the horror of it…

witnessing the desecration of innocence directly in front of their faces…

and then emotionally moving on anyway…

creates permission structures for that evil to deepen, spread, and grow.

Humanity saw it.

Humanity felt it.

Humanity recoiled in horror.

Then humanity kept scrolling.

And what message does that send to the people operating inside those circles?

What conclusion do predators draw when humanity witnesses their actions and then drifts back into comfort, entertainment, distraction, routine, and numbness?

They feel untouchable.

They feel protected.

They feel empowered.

Somewhere behind closed doors, powerful people are laughing, celebrating, toasting to humanity’s short memory.

“Look how quickly they move on.”

“Look how briefly outrage burns.”

“Look how easily attention fractures.”

“Look how quickly comfort reclaims them.”

“Look how fast fear and distraction herd them toward the next thing.”

That realization must feel intoxicating to predatory power.

“We can show them fragments of truth.”

“We can leak pieces of the machinery.”

“We can place horror directly in front of civilization.”

“And still they drift back to sleep.”

That is the real battlefield.

Because once evil realizes humanity lacks the will to sustain pressure, demand justice, insist on exposure, pursue prosecution, dismantle corruption, and protect innocence with ferocity…

evil expands.

Boldly.

Systemically.

Confidently.

Permission structures get written into civilization itself.

And the message becomes:

Humanity tolerates this.

Humanity absorbs this.

Humanity adapts to this.

Humanity keeps scrolling.

That is the spiritual catastrophe.

Because civilizations collapse slowly through normalized distraction.

Outrage without sustained courage changes nothing.

Evil grows wherever attention fractures.

And here is the deepest confrontation of all…

Fully admitting what is happening would require a different kind of humanity to emerge from all of us.

A more courageous humanity.

A more spiritually mature humanity.

A humanity capable of staying present inside unbearable truths instead of emotionally fleeing toward the next manufactured distraction cycle.

Because this entire system profits from fractured attention.

Media.

Politics.

War.

Pharmaceutical empires.

Fear economies.

Power structures feeding on perpetual emotional activation.

Your nervous system is being fought over.

Your attention is being fought over every hour of every day.

This is spiritual warfare over human attention.

And most people feel it.

Deep in their nervous system.

Deep in their bones.

Deep in the soul.

I know this confrontation personally.

I know the weight of looking directly into darkness without turning away.

I know the psychic impact of realizing how deep corruption and predation can actually go.

And honestly…

I cannot imagine what this confrontation feels like for many women…

for deeply sensitive people…

for gentle-hearted human beings whose nervous systems were never forged through life-and-death forms of Warriorship.

Your tenderness matters deeply.

And humanity also needs fierce protectors.

Grounded protectors.

Spiritually awake protectors.

WarriorSages who refuse hypnosis by chaos.

Warriorhood begins the moment truth matters more than comfort.

Humanity requires fewer spectators and more guardians.

Guardians capable of holding the whole picture without collapsing into apathy, overwhelm, cognitive dissonance, helplessness, sedation, or passive spectatorship.

Because yes…many issues matter.

Wars matter.

Economics matter.

Global instability matters.

A mature civilization holds complexity without abandoning the deepest wound underneath it all.

And the deepest wound right now is the violation of innocence combined with humanity’s growing tolerance for looking away.

That tolerance becomes the breeding ground for darkness.

If humanity keeps emotionally moving on every time truth surfaces…

then predators receive civilization-wide permission to continue.

That is the part people refuse to fully grasp.

Silence protects predators.

Distraction protects predators.

Fragmented attention protects predators.

Emotional exhaustion protects predators.

And every cycle of collective forgetting emboldens them further.

So stay awake.

Stay present.

Stay coherent.

Stay fiercely clear.

Anchor into God.

Anchor into truth.

Anchor into courage.

Anchor into disciplined attention.

Because civilization shifts the moment enough human beings refuse psychological capture.

The Soul of our civilization depends on what we refuse to normalize.

Predators thrive whenever good people drift back to sleep.

The future belongs to those who remain awake.

Eyes Open.

Heart Clear

Spine Strong.

We Arise Together in this Great Remembering

We clocked in and sold our time for pieces of paper, backed by nothing but belief.

We put our elders in nursing homes, our infants in daycares, our food in packages, our land in deeds, our truth in silence.

We didn't sell our souls, we rented them.
