🚨REAL TIME GA Election Fraud 🚨 October 28th Next 614 Cases - multiple counties Deadline to register was 10/5. We have a 10/1, 10/12, and 10/26 voter roll. Early voting started on 10/13. Called an election office today and confirmed that ALL registrations had to be in GARViS by 10/5. A well repeated pattern is packing the voter roll AFTER the deadline but making it look like it was there when it wasn't. We believe this to be the state not at the county level. Below is a sample of 614 registrations that are new to the 10/26 voter roll (not on 10/1 or 10/12) AND they have vote credit! Notice the Registration dates. Notice the counties. Not looking good GA 2026 general.....

The money is a problem, but it's not just the money. People are really tired. They are tired of being tracked, micromanaged, and watched everywhere they go. They are tired of being advertised to by their car, their gas pump, their TV, their email. They are tired of their email, mailbox, text messages, and phone calls being flooded with non-stop spam, rendering them completely unusable. They are tired of being lied to about everything, talked down to by by people unjustly lifted above them, and ignored by everyone in power. They are tired of having to log in, sign up, and sync every everything with endless accounts, endless passwords, endless subscriptions, and endless data theft just to use their baking scale or toaster. They are tired of being told that they don't know what their country is, they don't know who their people are, and they don't know what they want for their future. They are tired of walking on eggshells to not lose their job, being incapable of asking someone out, being unable to have normal conversations with people like adults, having everything they do recorded. They are tired of being told that they're entitled because they know that their ancestors built this country for them. They are tired of being told that they just aren't trying hard enough, by smug elitists who have never turned in a day of real work. They are tired of being blatantly lied to about the job market, about the economy, about immigration, about the reason behind wars and why their child came back in a coffin. They are tired of putting in hundreds of applications and only to get responses in the single digits. They are tired of watching useless incompetents be hired, promoted, imported and put in charge if everything. At the cost of a functional society. They are tired of the quality of their food declining, the quality of their homes declining, the quality of their medicine declining. They are tired of feeling unsafe in their house, in their neighborhood, in their airports, in their grocery stores, at their public events. And most of all, they are tired of being ruled over by people that quite obviously hate them, despite the fact that they've held up and built this entire system, doing the hard work.

Rant: Got last minute travel today, so won't be doing a Democracy Files drop today. But saw that the person at the center of the files posted about "unimaginable horrors." Let me tell you why I got interested in "democracy" in the first place. I've told this story many times, but here again: I was DOGE adjacent from the very beginning. I was recruited by several DOGE teams in January 2025, because I was excited about the opportunity to finally cut spending and taming the national debt. Bu then - Tesla Takedown protests happened. People got so worked up that they were firebombing innocent Tesla owners. A viral website with a Molotov cocktail cursor prominently featured my husband's address. I was doxxed in the middle of that, and forced to flee the state and homeschool my children. That's when I started researching and writing UNELECTED. I quickly found the groups organizing and funding the civil unrest were all about "democracy." It made no sense to me. DOGE wasn't overturning elections. They were cutting obviously silly awards - given our national deficit, who would object to that? Silly me! Turns out "democracy" means diffused rule by unelected people, and all that USAID money going to marginalized groups to build a "civil society" is the foundation of that. So the immune system of "civil unrest" can be activated anytime, and terrorize anyone who dares to step out of line. Such as DOGE employees. Such as me and my family. That research trail led me all the way to DemAID (now DRG), a group of ex-USAID officers. Led by you and Ro Tucci. @iamlisalogan and @SKDoubleDub33 found DemAID on video taking credit for these protests. But this isn't about me. This is about the United States. And about the dozens of countries wrecked by color revolutions. You aren't solving polarization. You are the source of polarization, because in the process of building "civil society," you are displacing people's inborn allegiances and training them up to attack the very foundations a nation are founded upon. Nor is this about revenge or anger. I'm calling on everyone to pray that no more damage is done, and that we can find a path forward that preserves our Constitutional Republic.

The more I dig through this stuff, the more I realize we still haven’t gotten to some of the biggest documents yet. @DataRepublican has already done an incredible job showing what they were preparing for inside the government. This document looks like the plan for what happens outside the government once they decide the trigger has been hit. And FTR, this is WAY beyond people sitting around talking about “resistance.” It’s an April 2026 draft called “The Metro Alignment Playbook,” and it lays out a city-by-city plan to create economic disruption during an election crisis. The idea is basically to identify the corporations that carry the most economic power in each city, figure out where they’re vulnerable, and then build the labor, faith, community, political, and small-business infrastructure needed to pressure them when the time comes. Then they start naming actual targets. Wall Street. Silicon Valley. The Los Angeles ports. Delta hubs in Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Minneapolis, and Detroit. Target in Minnesota. Banks, oil companies, defense contractors, tech companies, and whatever major corporation carries the most influence in each city. And honestly, the activation section is where this gets pretty insane. “NYC unleashes on Wall Street.” “Minneapolis and Detroit shut down Delta hubs at the airports. Atlanta does the same.” “LA calls strikes at the port and elsewhere.” “California starts a caravan to Silicon Valley and clogs it up.” It says every city should already know its role, its target, and the economic costs it is supposed to impose. “Nobody is waiting for orders.” If election certification is delayed or elected officials aren’t seated, the plan escalates into general strikes, coordinated business closures, boycotts, walkouts, and occupations of corporate headquarters. They even talk about using smaller events as rehearsals to test whether the whole system works before the real “All In” moment happens. I think that’s the part people need to understand. This ia actual operational framework with named cities, named corporations, trigger events, rehearsals, legal preparation, communications strategy, and multiple levels of escalation already mapped out. They are building a decentralized system capable of creating coordinated economic pressure across major American cities during the 2026 election certification period.

🚨 This needs more attention. Poll Watcher in New York City says she was removed before the ballots were sealed. She says election officials kicked out all the poll watchers, even called to have them removed. They would not seal the ballots and wouldn’t close the voting machines “Something very sketchy happened while I was poll watching in the Bronx. I was closing a location, and at first I thought everything was fine. I had checked the numbers, and the number of voters who signed in matched the number of ballots scanned — I was just really pleased and getting ready to go home. And then I noticed something really weird. Which was that all of the poll workers were checking out and going home and the voting machines were still open. They were unlocked, unsealed, and the ballots hadn't been taken out yet. Now, this is very strange. I've been poll watching in New York City since 2021, and I've never seen that happen. The procedure is that every voting machine has a poll worker assigned to it, and at the end of the night, each individual poll worker closes down their voting machine, seals it, and takes the ballots out and seals the ballots. And the ballots and the voting machines were totally unsealed. So I just sat down and waited to see them take the ballots out and seal them. And then the coordinator started getting really like antsy and nervous, and they were like, you're all done, you got your numbers, you can go. And they actually got on the phone and called the deputy chief clerk who told me that I had to leave. And I said, no, I'm a poll watcher. I'm supposed to stay until the ballots are sealed and the police pick them up — They finally took the ballots out of the machine and put them in bags on the floor. And I said, they're not sealed. And then they got the seals out and they put the seals on. I said, can I see the seal numbers? They said no. I said, did you check the seal number on the paperwork and initial it? She said yes. I said, can I see it? She said no” “A guy named Charles, to close down the voting machines by himself. And I said, the voting machines aren't sealed. And he said, I'm sealing them, but he wasn't” This means after all the poll watchers leave, Democrats could easily introduce any additional ballots they wanted to and also change the ballots in there In New York the law says poll watchers are specifically authorized to observe the unlocking, examination and related sealing steps for voting machines and ballot boxes It’s 2020 all over again. This will keep happening because no one ever gets held accountable for stealing our elections We need federal intervention. Everyone involved should be going to prison

Census numbers get used for all sorts of things besides voting that need to be scaled by residents, illegal or no. You wouldn't want local emergency services or schools cut back bc there are lots of illegals in your area.

The last question here is the kicker...
Just spoke to the Head of AI at a huge company. The #1 thing they're struggling with is... what do I do with the AI laggards at our company? Like most companies, they’ve found that a Super Pareto Principle is true within their org. 10% of their employees are responsible for 90% of the uplift in productivity/token usage from software engineering to non-technical knowledge work. They’ve spent a lot of time & resources on AI enablement from LLM foundations to function-specific trainings and skill building. And yet, the power law of productivity increases hasn’t budged. So now they’re left with a few sobering thoughts and hard questions: 1) 90% of people are overpaid and 10% are underpaid 2) We’d be better off allocating tokens proportionally to the power law, but how do we do that without killing culture? 3) Significant layoffs are likely warranted and wouldn’t impact overall output, but cultural backlash is a big concern? 4) How do we hire more power law people as a non technology company? 5) Is all of our efforts on training and enablement ACTUALLY worth it? 6) How do we not experience a brain drain where the top 10% all leave because they want to be surrounded by other AI-native 10x’ers?

Before I was even pregnant, I asked my mom & dad for advice from raising me and my brother... This is what they told me, maybe you'll find it useful too: 1. Your kids are not your friends. They’re yours to safeguard and support, but set rules. Biggest problem with most kids in our generation, their parents wanted to be liked not respected. 2. Psy ops are underrated. My mom had this line for whenever I got into trouble. She’d say, “When I ask you a question like this, I already know the answer. I am giving you a chance to come clean...” At which point I’d sing like a canary because I’m a scaredy cat. I found out today she rarely knew the answers. Brilliant and maniacal. 3. Always on the same page. My mom and dad rarely fought in front of my brother and I. They would never go back on the word of the other. United front to deal with us mini terrorists. 4. Make time. My dad had this silly line that is actually not silly: “You can make money, you can make a cake, but you can’t make time.” So they made allllll the time for us. 5. Four chairs. We have these four chairs in our living room, no tv. Growing up, we’d sit and debate and talk for hours. Politics. Opinions. Our days. Only thing not allowed was an opinion you couldn’t defend unemotionally. We still do this today. 6. Mi Sangre mi siempre. They’d always say, blood comes first. They meant it. I hired my brother, my dad, my mom, my cousin at times. We stick together and we may fight like hell but never in front of others. 7. Once you decide, you don’t quit. We could play any sport or instrument BUT if we committed we had to play the full year all out. No 3 lessons and quit. Taught us to choose thoughtfully and keep going even when it hurt. 8. Always call. They still pick up the phone nearly every time it’s family. My dad in a meeting will pause to answer my mom. My husband taught me this too, and I try to do the same. If they’re your first priority this is an easy way to prove it. 9. You’re not a princess, you’re a president. My dad always used to say that line. He told me this week that I lived up to it. Gutted me. He taught us we didn’t need to be saved, instead we could save ourselves and help others. 10. Hug often and seriously. If you’ve ever hugged my parents, they mean it when they do it. Such a simple, free gesture. My mom always gives you a hug and says vaya con dios... go with God. How can you not do big things with parents that hold you like that? Just some lessons from parents I happen to think are some of the best in the world. Moms & dads everywhere, I'm in awe of you. Hardest job I've ever seen. Hope I'm half as good at it as my parents were with us.

When I worked at a Title 1 public school we begged them to get rid of cellphones, made learning impossible They refused until cellphones were used to capture multiple prison-riot style fights and sex acts in the bathroom that ended up on the news Schools aren’t banning cellphones because of education, they don’t care They’re banning them because they’re revealing that public schools are prisons and abuse factories
Starting next school year, a bell-to-bell cell phone ban will take effect in every single Pennsylvania classroom. We’re getting back to the basics and keeping our classrooms focused on learning.

a user (u/Crunchy-Nut1) on our r/claudecode subreddit community connected claude code to his honda civic's chinese head unit. he found that: - a voice assistant was always listening for its wake word and running a hidden webview that consumed ~30% cpu even when nobody was talking - a call recorder was preinstalled on the device handling his bluetooth calls - the firmware had a root backdoor left by the vendor. - a startup script silently installed any apk placed in a hidden folder, then deleted the file. - the vendor's update app could push new firmware remotely. - baidu location services and a vendor log collector were running in the background. - the listing claimed device had 8 cores and android 15. the actual hardware had 4 cores and android 9, with a security patch from october 2021. he then used claude code to: - disable the always-listening assistant and other unwanted apps, then remove 18 packages after backing them up. - shut down the root backdoor and hidden apk installation mechanism. - disable the vendor's cloud updater. - configure adguard private dns to block ads and trackers. - upgrade android webview from version 66 to 138. - build a custom civic launcher, generate its icons, and recalibrate the backup camera guidelines - install open-source apps with sha-256 verification and lock down network access debloating your cheap hardware is a pretty sick usecase of claude code

Hello Alex Alex Alex, Let me summarize the book UNELECTED in a nutshell. The Industrial Revolution created a class of private citizens with unimaginable wealth. Many were reviled as robber barons (e.g., Rockefeller of Standard Oil). Others had a better image, like Andrew Carnegie. These new rich decided because they had money, they had a responsibility to do good by the world. So they started building global philanthropic networks that could go into every country. In order to do so, they hired Department of State and Department of War and other state officials. They quickly took over the country's education system starting in the 1920s to train them in the "international mind." When the intelligence community truly sprang up in World War II, the IC hired from ... these same shadowy philanthropic networks. And after WWII, they all coalesced on the same goal: the best chance at achieving a human utopia is to bring the entire world to "democracy." Except it turns out converting countries to democracy isn't so simple as just financing CIA coups. Did all those NGOs question their own assumption might be flawed - that not every peoples, not every culture and religion is compatible with "democracy"? No. Instead, the Trilateral Commission in the 1970s concluded that a more technocratic route was necessary. And over many iterations - the Balkans and African adventures of the 90s, the Iraq & Afghanistan ventures, Arab Spring and color revolutions ... every failed iteration of "democracy" always resulted in the same conclusion: the people are dumb, we have to try harder, put more pressure on them, tighten the screws. And now you have become fully self-referential. Anyone who disagrees with you is "authoritarian." Anyone who agrees with you is "our democracy." Voting methods doesn't matter. That the judiciary system blatantly stole the election doesn't matter. And nowhere this is more obvious in your 30th anniversary publication. In your 30th anniversary publication, you had an article from your longtime head of Open Society Fund-Serbia, Sonja Licht. She also happens to be one of the most decorated civilians in Europe and widely considered an expert in "democracy:" 🔹 Pro Merit Medal of the Council of Europe 🔹 Star of Italian Solidarity 🔹 French Legion of Honour Her solution: "I believe the time has come for a responsible, courageous elite, those who care far more about addressing the genuine social problems than about election results. Only a political elite with vision, prudence and a focus on the general good—to whom the electorate, with their active involvement in public life, can cede part of their sovereignty in the elections... spearhead... our struggle to survive." Read that again. The idea of democracy as pushed by the head of one of your foundations is to literally stop "election results" and to have the public cede their trust to a technocratic elite. End democracy to save democracy itself. This is the final form of a project that started a hundred years ago to spread free markets and create global peace and instill self-governance throughout the world. This is your legacy, Alex Soros. Your father spent his life fighting Communism. You, as his protege, will spend your life perfecting Communism. In the name of "democracy."

Heads up, @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI. Rumor reaches my ears that you're doing a stupid thing, and should stop before you damage yourselves. I hear you've now nerfed your models so that when people try to use them to clean the spamware and spyware out of their televisions, you block that. If you really want Chinese open-weight models and open-source projects like OpenWaldo to eat your lunch, crippling your models so that people paying expensive subscriptions can't use them for completely legitimate purposes is a great way to accomplish this. If, on the other hand, you'd rather have a volume business, maybe stupid arbitrary restrictions that look like they have the sole purpose of protecting corporate sleazeballs aren't such a good idea. A word to the wise should be sufficient.

If you've ever wondered why smart TVs are so cheap, this is why. @log4j rooted his Samsung and found an always-on hot mic, automatic content recognition, geolocation, network mapping, ad targeting and user profiling, shared with Samsung's "400 partners". A lot of it can be blocked in <15 min, wrote a basic guide below. What your TV is doing The main culprit is ACR (automatic content recognition). Your TV screenshots what's on screen, fingerprints it, and sends it home to build your ad profile. Samsung does it every 500ms, LG every 10ms [1]. What is insane: it happens on connected devices too. Plug in your laptop, your console, your work machine, and your TV can fingerprint that via HDMI [1]. He also found that if your Samsung doesn't have a mic, it'll look for one from a connected soundbar or bluetooth device. teapawt.net/log4j/status/211376224… It's on by default, and you likely agreed to it on the setup screen you clicked through in 10 seconds. Step 1: Turn off ACR Samsung: Terms & Privacy → Viewing Information Services LG: Live Plus Vizio: Viewing Data Roku: "Use info from TV inputs" Sony/Google TV: Samba Interactive TV Menus vary by model, but those are the names to look for. While you're in there, opt out of interest-based ads, reset your advertising ID, decline every optional privacy agreement, turn off voice recognition, and delete apps you never open. Step 2: Give smart devices their own network Put the TV, cameras, speakers and vacuum on your router's guest/IoT network. The logic is simple: these devices rarely get patched. If one gets compromised (getting drastically more frequent with AI), it shouldn't be able to see your other devices or home network. Step 3: Block trackers for the whole house with DNS-level filtering NextDNS (cloud-based) is easy and has a solid free plan. Pi-hole is a little bit more work if you prefer self hosting. For simplicity we'll focus on the former. 1. Sign up at nextdns.io (free tier is plenty) 2. Privacy tab: add a blocklist (OISD is a good bet) and turn on Native Tracking Protection for Samsung, LG, Roku, Amazon (see attached image) 3. Setup tab: copy your endpoint 4. Paste it into your router's DNS settings as DNS-over-HTTPS/TLS (or use the IPs + "Link IP" if your router only does plain DNS) 5. Bonus: block outbound port 53 except to your router. Some devices hardcode their own DNS to get around you Then open the NextDNS logs and watch how often your TV phones home. It's eye-opening. If an app or update breaks, find the domain in the logs and allowlist it. Why they do this TV prices are down 97% since 2000 [2]. Most of that is better manufacturing and brutal competition. But once margins on the hardware hit zero, the cost moved to you. In Q3 2024, Vizio lost $6.7M selling TVs and made $115.8M in gross profit from ads and viewing data [3]. They've said on earnings calls that they keep TV prices low to grow the audience they sell to advertisers. Walmart bought them in 2024. This isn't a conspiracy theory either. Vizio paid $2.2M to the FTC in 2017 for tracking 11 million TVs without consent. Last December, Texas sued Samsung, LG, Sony, Hisense and TCL over ACR. Samsung and LG have since agreed to stop collecting that data without explicit consent [4]. TL;DR 1. ACR off 2. Ads + voice off 3. Smart devices on their own network 4. NextDNS filtering on the router Sources: [1] ACR study: arxiv.org/abs/2409.06203 [2] Cost of US consumer goods: aei.org/economics/chart-of-t… [3] Vizio Q3 2024: sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/… [4] Texas v. Samsung: texasattorneygeneral.gov/new…

We need to talk more about what Gen X and older millennials have been through financially. They survived the 2008 recession, spent years rebuilding, got hit by a pandemic, and then watched housing, groceries, insurance, and everyday expenses become increasingly unaffordable. Now it’s 2026, and people in their 40s and 50s are trying to save for retirement while still catching up on financial milestones they expected to reach a decade ago. At some point, we have to acknowledge that an entire generation has spent much of its adult life recovering from one economic crisis after another.

"If you squelch what is natural in the boy, you may also be hindering what is intended in the man." Love it💪
Dear Mamas of boys, I know. I know you can't see this right now. You probably can't even imagine the possibility. But someday, very soon, that noisy, combative, dirty, destructive, daredevil that sometimes has you exhausted, confused, and at your wits end will, hear me out now be sitting next to you and his own wife in church, cradling his own sleeping son, listening to the Word preached so he can lead his own family in obedience to Christ. It's the craziest recipe for success in the world but the noise and combat and dirt and destruction and breathless daring are the exact ingredients God chose to create men who will build successful business, provide for and protect growing families, and serve His church. If you squelch what is natural in the boy, you may also be hindering what is intended in the man. Discipline sinful behavior yes, but not masculine behavior. It may be challenging to live with now, but this morning as I was sitting in that pew next to my 19 y.o son and his little family it hit me how fast God turns what little boys are made of into the stuff of men.

The point of no return by Richard von Mises is worth reading: "A state becomes almost unreformable when the majority of the population is financially or structurally dependent on the state (state employees, civil servants, recipients of subsidies, grants, or transfer payments, etc.). As soon as those who net benefit from or are supported by the state outnumber those who do not, the system blocks reforms, since the majority votes out of self-interest for the preservation or expansion of state services." Does this sound familiar? Some European countries, France, Belgium, Finland are already way beyond that point, closely followed by Germany, Spain, Austria and Italy. It works for a while, as long as markets buy more sovereign debt at reasonable interest rates. The party ends when they stop though. For France, they stopped this month, Belgium will be next. The longer the socialist illusion persists, the more painful the inevitable cuts and adjustments will be. It’s pure arithmetic. Good luck Europe, good luck Euro. Buckle up, it won’t be pretty.
