This is how the game is played.
Politicians use vague wording and emotional headlines to sell the public on laws that SOUND reasonable on the surface…
…but are written broad enough to become dangerous tools later.
Let’s be clear:
Nobody supports fake AI-generated “evidence” designed to falsely accuse candidates of crimes or intentionally deceive voters.
That’s already wrong.
But HB4557 goes far beyond stopping malicious deepfakes.
The concern is the wording.
Because once government creates broad legal definitions surrounding “harmful” political content, the door opens for weaponized lawsuits against:
Meme pages Journalists Podcasters Satirists Political critics Ordinary citizens speaking out onlineAnd that’s the REAL danger.
The people with money and political connections can afford endless legal battles.
The average citizen cannot.
So what happens?
The good people leave.
The honest people trying to serve their communities get disgusted and pushed out of the process.
And the political operators who know how to manipulate the system stay behind playing word games while calling it “protecting democracy.”
Even if courts eventually strike parts of the law down later, defendants may still spend years and hundreds of thousands of dollars defending themselves first.
That creates a chilling effect on speech.
If government can control the wording…
eventually they try to control the narrative.
And when they control the narrative…
they control the people.
So - there’s this guy named Brad Parscale who was Trump’s data guy. He’s the Cambridge Analytica guy who basically built the digital machine that got Trump elected the first time.
Well, he’s working for Israel now.
He apparently registered as a foreign agent back in September and his company Clocktower X signed a contract with Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs that’s sitting in a Department of Justice database right now for anyone who knows where to look.
The deal started at six million dollars and has already been bumped up to nine, which works out to about a million and a half a month flowing from a foreign government into the bank account of the guy who built Trump’s data operation.
And what’s he getting paid to do?
Convince Gen Z to love Israel.
That’s the actual job description in the contract. At least 80 percent of the content has to target people under 30 on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and podcasts, and the deal requires 50 million paid impressions a month, 100 original pieces of content a month, and 5,000 variations of those pieces.
But wait it gets better.
He’s also trying to game ChatGPT.
The contract literally says Clocktower X will build websites designed to “deliver GPT framing results on GPT conversations.” It took me a minute to figure out what that meant in English.
Basically he’s setting up a bunch of pro-Israel websites and pumping them full of content because he knows ChatGPT and Gemini and Claude pull from the open internet to answer your questions. Flood the internet with one side of a story and the AI starts repeating it back to you like it’s a fact. The disinformation people have a name for it - RAG poisoning.
And guess where he works during the day? Salem Media.
That’s the conservative Christian radio empire that owns Townhall and RedState and broadcasts Hugh Hewitt, Larry Elder, and Lara Trump. He’s the Chief Strategy Officer.
The literal executive in charge of strategy at the network. And the FARA filing says - in writing - that part of the Israel contract involves “integration of narrative messaging into Salem Media Network properties.”
So the guy taking money from Israel to push pro-Israel content is also the executive deciding what airs on a network that millions of conservative Christians tune into every day. Public Citizen and the Quincy Institute have already filed complaints with the DOJ about it because FARA requires foreign-funded content to be labeled, and Salem listeners have absolutely no idea that Lara Trump’s warm thoughts on Israel were paid for by Netanyahu’s foreign ministry.
Speaking of which, Netanyahu has straight up said the information war is a national priority for his government, and you can see why. Support for Israel among young Americans has fallen off a cliff since the Gaza war started, and a Gallup poll in July found only 9 percent of people 18 to 34 support what’s happening there. So Israel did what governments do when they’re losing a demographic - they bought one.
Through Havas, the European ad agency that handles the contract on Israel’s behalf, they’ve also paid a Christian outreach firm in San Diego $4 million to evangelize churches, hired a separate firm to recruit MAGA influencers for $900,000, and quietly built out an entire ecosystem of foreign-paid American mouths.
Parscale told the Washington Examiner this isn’t a foreign influence campaign and his exact quote was that the filings are public, everything is disclosed, and nothing is hidden.
Sure. The filings are public.
The Quincy Institute had to dig them out of the DOJ database and Sludge had to investigate to figure out what was even in them, but technically, yeah, public.
You just have to know they exist.
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.

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.
