OK, OK, I KNOW! I'm late again...
A short rant to keep everyone happy...
This is right off the cuff, decided on like thirty seconds ago…
Yes, I haven’t posted anything lately. The answer is simple: I’m spending so much time on playing with new AI tools, as well as trying to get a computer security home lab up, that I haven’t had time to actually write about the same - or anything else.
Consistency has never been my strong suit. Just check how “consistently” I adhere to my diet… (Hint: I go up five pounds, I go down five pounds, I go up five pounds… And I’m talking about over one week…)
This rant is generated by the news just out about a Trump ICE arrest in Boyle Heights, California.
See Here (from KTLA’s YouTube channel):
The NBC Los Angeles Website has the story:
According to the report, the individual being detained was accused of “punching” a Customs and Border Control officer during a protest in Paramount last Saturday.
This is ridiculous on so many levels.
Yes, it’s a “vehicle containment” maneuver, which is done on occasion by law enforcement. That by no means justifies it. There is no evidence in the video that the vehicle was attempting to flee - it was turning on to the street at normal speed. We don’t know what happened before the turn or whether the occupants were in communication with the officers in the two ICE vehicles. But that doesn’t matter because of what came next.
In addition to the ridiculous ramming of the vehicle, the officers then fired a chemical device into the vehicle to incapacitate the occupants. Note the report: “A woman and two young children also were in the car.” Firing a chemical device into a vehicle with presumed non-combatants, including children, is simply irresponsible on every level, even in law enforcement which is known for this sort of behavior.
The individual being sought, according to his wife, is not an undocumented immigrant. He is a US citizen. But even if he wasn’t a US citizen, cops attacking people in this manner is simply out of bounds. It’s on a par with strangling George Floyd and almost as bad as the Philadelphia MOVE bombing in 1985.
As an anarchist, I have zero brief for cops - on any level of the state. My motto is and always will be: The Only Good Cop Is A Dead Cop.
The real problem, of course, is the current sitting President of the United States, one Donald Trump.
This narcissistic, ignorant, babbling, lying, moronic cretin was elected by and is supported by millions of equally ignorant, babbling, lying, moronic cretins.
This includes people like Colonel Douglas Macgregor who keeps babbling on Judge Andrew Napolitano’s YouTube channel and other venues about how “the border” is a problem, how the fentanyl “epidemic” is caused by the border problems, etc., etc.
Do the fucking math! The US population is 347,275,807, as of 2025. The estimated number of illegal immigrants in the US is 11-12 million.
The percentage of illegal immigrants in the US is 3.45546674% of the US population.
THREE FUCKING PERCENT! READ THAT AGAIN, MAGA MORONS!
If the fucking country can not handle 3 percent of illegal immigrants, then there is something wrong with this country.
Is there a “fentanyl crisis”? This is a summary from Google Gemini:
The fentanyl crisis in the US is a complex issue driven by several interconnected factors. Here are some of the key reasons:
Shifting Drug Supply: The supply of illicit opioids has shifted from prescription pills and heroin to illicitly manufactured fentanyl (IMF). This shift began around 2015-2016 and is a significant factor in the crisis, with fentanyl being involved in roughly 90% of opioid-related overdose deaths by 2022.
Fentanyl's Potency and Ease of Manufacturing: Fentanyl's extreme potency makes it highly addictive and deadly. Just two milligrams, an amount equivalent to a few grains of table salt, can be lethal. It is also relatively easy to manufacture, making it cheaper and more readily available on the illicit market.
Mixing Fentanyl with Other Drugs: Drug dealers often mix IMF into other drugs, including heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine, as well as into counterfeit prescription pills. This makes the drug supply more dangerous because users may be unaware they are taking fentanyl, leading to accidental overdoses even for those with tolerance to other opioids.
Accessibility through the Internet: The rise of e-commerce and the Dark Web has made it easier to purchase fentanyl and other opioids online, removing the need for a traditional middleman. Buyers can order anonymously, making transactions difficult to trace.
Supply Chain: Illicit fentanyl is largely produced in China and Mexico, then smuggled into the US. While China has reduced its production of fentanyl variants, it remains a leading supplier of precursor chemicals used by Mexican drug cartels, particularly the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, for fentanyl production and distribution.
COVID-19 Pandemic: The pandemic exacerbated the crisis by disrupting supply chains and leading people to take drugs alone, increasing overdose risk.
"Iron Law of Prohibition": This concept suggests that stricter law enforcement can inadvertently lead to more potent and dangerous drugs, as illicit drug producers prioritize easier-to-smuggle, higher-potency substances.
Disproportionate Impact on Certain Communities: Communities with higher poverty rates, Native American and Alaska Native communities, and non-Hispanic Black communities are disproportionately impacted by the fentanyl crisis due to systemic racism and historical inequities.
In summary, the fentanyl crisis in the US is a result of the availability and accessibility of potent, illicit fentanyl, coupled with factors like changing drug markets, the impact of the pandemic, and underlying social inequalities.
Notice that, other the mention of “cartels” in Mexico - and the obligatory slam at China - in other words, the usual drug-dealing suspects, there is no indication that “illegals” have anything whatever to do with it.
Also note the real “culprits” - “Communities with higher poverty rates, Native American and Alaska Native communities, and non-Hispanic Black communities”. In other words, the same racial and economic inequalities that have existed since drugs became commonly available in the United States in the early 20th Century and were criminalized precisely for racial and class reasons by the same sort of people currently championing Trump and his policies. See this summary by Google Gemini:
Several factors contributed to the prohibition of recreational drugs in the early 20th century in the United States, including:
Social and Moral Concerns: There was a growing concern about the perceived negative social and moral consequences of drug use. Groups like the Woman's Christian Temperance Union actively campaigned for temperance and saw alcohol and other drug use as a threat to society.
Racial Prejudice: Many early drug laws were fueled by racist fears and stereotypes associated with specific minority groups. For example, opium was linked to Chinese immigrants, cocaine to African Americans, and marijuana to Mexican immigrants. [MY NOTE: Sound familiar?] Racially charged media reports and propaganda films contributed to a climate of fear and played a significant role in changing public opinion.
Concerns about Addiction: The recognition of the addictive properties of drugs like opium and cocaine, combined with a growing concern about widespread drug abuse, led to increased calls for regulation.
Governmental Regulation: The federal government, along with state and local authorities, began to implement regulations and restrictions on drugs. Notable early federal legislation includes:
The Smoking Opium Exclusion Act of 1909: This act banned the importation and use of opium for smoking, targeting Chinese immigrants.
The Harrison Narcotics Act of 1914: This act regulated and taxed the production, importation, and distribution of opiates and cocaine.
The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937: This act placed a tax on the sale of cannabis, effectively making it illegal across the United States.
While the "War on Drugs" concept was popularized later by President Nixon in the 1970s, the foundation for drug prohibition in the United States was laid in the early 20th century through a combination of social, moral, and political factors, often intertwined with racial prejudice
No, what this is all about is a naked power grab by Donald Trump and the scum behind him. As many others have said recently, Trump intends to start a series of riots, then use that to declare martial law in as many places as he can, as well as most likely passing laws further restricting “civil rights” - if that term still has any meaning at all.
This further ties in with the recent granting of a massive surveillance contract to Palantir Technologies, the data analysis firm used by the “usual suspects” - the US military, intelligence, law enforcement, and “democracies” like Ukraine, Israel, and England.
According to the New York Times (archive link):
The company has received more than $113 million in federal government spending since Mr. Trump took office, according to public records, including additional funds from existing contracts as well as new contracts with the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon. (This does not include a $795 million contract that the Department of Defense awarded the company last week, which has not been spent.)
Representatives of Palantir are also speaking to at least two other agencies — the Social Security Administration and the Internal Revenue Service — about buying its technology, according to six government officials and Palantir employees with knowledge of the discussions.
The push has put a key Palantir product called Foundry into at least four federal agencies, including D.H.S. and the Health and Human Services Department. Widely adopting Foundry, which organizes and analyzes data, paves the way for Mr. Trump to easily merge information from different agencies, the government officials said.
Creating detailed portraits of Americans based on government data is not just a pipe dream. The Trump administration has already sought access to hundreds of data points on citizens and others through government databases, including their bank account numbers, the amount of their student debt, their medical claims and any disability status.
Anyone here remember “Total Information Awareness”? Wikipedia notes:
Although the program was formally suspended, other government agencies later adopted some of its software with only superficial changes. TIA's core architecture continued development under the code name "Basketball". According to a 2012 New York Times article, TIA's legacy was "quietly thriving" at the National Security Agency (NSA)
This is what an official TIA graphic showed:
This is what Jeremy Bentham referred to as “The Panopticon”. Read this piece from The Guardian from 9 years ago:
What does the panopticon mean in the age of digital surveillance?
This is what Trump has planned for us all.
And that’s going to be just the first step.
And it’s all going to be backed by artificial intelligence:

I’ve mentioned before in this Substack that you’re looking at a “cyberpunk” future in this country (and elsewhere). You’d best start paying attention.
So maybe I should get moving on doing more articles on AI…
Because only if you know how to maneuver in the coming future are you likely to survive, let alone thrive.
So stay turned, because that’s what this Substack is all about (however inconsistently.)
The zionist cabal has almost completed its plans for total control of the nation. Palantir is owned by a zionist and so is Google. The zionists control Congress through AIPAC hence control DC. On top of it all is Rump the zionist owned by the zionists too.
You nailed it about the ignorant gullible MAGA Myrmidons. MAGA!🇺🇸 Made America🇮🇱 Genocidal Again!🇮🇱🇺🇸
