Prepare For The Storm
The Dystopia Is Here, And They Want You Powerless
Today we confront the dystopia being engineered by tech elites like Peter Thiel, who seem indifferent to our survival. As cyberattacks like the one crippling St. Paul become more frequent, the digital infrastructure we depend on is exposing its fragility.
Meanwhile, cracks in our democratic process continue to emerge with claims that the 2024 election results were quietly overturned, and the so-called “good Republicans” remain silent as Trump’s policies deepen economic harm.
Inflation data is now being manipulated, further eroding public trust in our institutions. It’s clear: the system isn’t broken, it’s working exactly as intended, and it’s working against us. Resist. Fight.
They will sacrifice you for their dystopian goals
We're starting to see the reality that the tech bros (oligarchs) want for us. They don't care about our frail humanity at all; they just want you to be cogs in their Matrix.

Thiel’s recent silence as to whether the human race should endure was revealing. It’s possible to think that the worst dystopian fears of A.I. are a form of collective science fiction but also worry that those with money and power (like Thiel) would gladly withdraw from the flesh while leaving the rest of us to our skin and bones.
Now, more than ever, we need to destroy the surveillance state and reclaim our humanity before it's too late.
Once a transformative technology, now it's a crippling one
On paper, the Internet was to be a transformative technology for good. It has transformed our society in ways we never imagined. Now, it's turning into a dystopian nightmare of Fascism and crime.

According to remarks by St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter, the attack was first noticed early in the morning of Friday, July 25. It was, Carter said, "a deliberate, coordinated digital attack, carried out by a sophisticated external actor—intentionally and criminally targeting our city’s information infrastructure."
The city had trouble stopping the attack over the weekend, however, so on Monday, it "initiated a full shutdown of our information systems as a defensive measure to contain the threat." All Wi-Fi in city buildings is currently down, and numerous computerized city functions—including checking out library books—have been stopped.
I'm wondering if we need to go back to pen, paper, and typewriters. With the pace that which criminals "innovate" to disrupt our lives, maybe the best action is not to play their game.
Everything the GOP accuses the Left of is an admission by them
I have to be very careful not to broadcast conspiracy here, but this is another data point that points to a Harris-Walz win. I knew something didn't smell right when I watched the swing states all turn Red on election night.
Something didn't make sense, and now with this report, I say that Trump and his regime are illegitimate. The question is, what are we going to do about it?
This Will Hold
He explained that none of his revelations are classified; he has full authorization to speak and is prepared to testify under oath. Having personally assisted the NSA in collecting the data, he stressed that a full forensic hand‑count of the 2024 election—beginning with Representative Victoria Spartz—must be this country’s top priority. The completed NSA audit results have been submitted, yet so far have been met with silence.
Moving along sheep, nothing to see here. This is all part of the plan to turn you into meat for the money machine.
Don’t count on the ‘Good Republicans’ to speak out against Trump
Zachary H. Cohle, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Economics at Saginaw State Valley University, argues that expecting moderate Republicans to oppose Trump is unrealistic and warns about impending economic harm from tax cuts, rising tariffs, and cuts to social programs, especially for states like Michigan.

The notion of ‘good Republicans’ standing up against Donald Trump is a dangerous misconception.
He's right. They're only mad because they didn't release the Epstein files, but approve of all the other destructive things Trump is doing.
They're hiding the real inflation rate
I stay on top of economic data here because in this capitalistic world, money talks and BS walks. Imagine my surprise that all the work to get good data is falling to the wayside. How convenient for Trump.
To calculate the inflation rate, hundreds of government workers called enumerators fan out across cities each month to check how much businesses are charging for products like blue jeans and services like accounting, often by visiting bricks-and-mortar stores. Statisticians roll those figures together into the consumer-price index, a data stream that shows how the cost of living is changing for typical Americans.
If the government’s enumerators can’t track down a specific price in a given city, they try to make an educated guess based on a close substitute: say, cargo pants instead of slacks. But in April, with fewer workers on hand to check prices, statisticians had to base their guesses on less comparable products or other regions of the country—a process called “different-cell imputation”—much more often than usual, according to the BLS.
Stay tuned
This Wednesday's upcoming post will be about Trump's economic data war. We can't trust any data coming out of this administration, and it will only create chaos in the markets. Wall Street directly affects Main Street, and we're feeling the effects already.
