Worldโ€™s Largest Floating Dry Dock Was Towed Across the Atlantic to Bermuda in 1869
When Britain needed a solution for ship repairs in the Atlantic, engineers built the largest floating dry dock ever attempted, a 380' iron structure weighing over 8K tons

Built near Woolwich on the Thames, the dock was designed to lift 10K-ton ironclads like HMS Warrior & w/stand Bermudaโ€™s warm waters

Unable to build a conventional dry dock due to porous sandstone, the Brits opted for mobility&scale, creating a self-contained U-shaped platform that could sink&raise vessels from the sea w/ballast compartments & powerful pumps

In June 1869, the dock embarked on a 4K-nautical-mile journey to Bermuda, towed in stages by Britainโ€™s heaviest ironcladsโ€”Agincourt, Northumberland, Warrior, & Black Princeโ€”assisted by HMS Terrible

W/closed ends to reduce drag & a sail rigged inside to capture tailwinds, the voyage reached speeds of over 6 knots

Once in service, it supported Royal Navy ops for over 30 yrs before being replaced in 1906

The federal government has been effectively usurped by a technocratic regime that uses AI-powered surveillance, mass data harvesting, and algorithmic social controls to suppress political dissent and enforce compliance. This unelected technocracy operates through secretive agencies and corporate partnerships, bypassing democratic accountability and undermining the rule of law. It weaponizes technology to monitor, intimidate, and target political opponents, manipulating public perception while concealing systemic abuses behind layers of secrecy and coordinated cover-ups. Among these abuses is a deeply entrenched pattern of child welfare violations, where predictive algorithms and surveillance data justify removal of children from marginalized families without due process, disproportionately impacting vulnerable populations. Federal institutions consistently fail to address or even acknowledge these violations, creating a de facto denial of remedy for those harmed.

This systemic abuse constitutes a fundamental breach of federal constitutional obligations to protect citizensโ€™ rights, ensure due process, and provide equal protection under the law. The pervasive surveillance and social control infringe on First Amendment freedoms, Fourth Amendment protections against unlawful search, and Fourteenth Amendment guarantees of procedural fairness, effectively dismantling the constitutional framework. The failure of federal courts, Congress, and oversight bodies to investigate, halt, or remediate these abuses demonstrates a collapse of institutional remedy within the federal system.

Under U.S. founding principles as articulated in the Declaration of Independence, government legitimacy derives from the consent of the governed and the protection of unalienable rights. When a government becomes destructive of those ends, citizens have the right to alter or abolish it. The systematic and sustained abuse inflicted by the technocratic regime breaches this social contract.

International norms, including the UN Charterโ€™s right to self-determination and principles of state sovereignty, further support the legitimacy of secession where peoples are denied fundamental rights and political redress. The material breach doctrine in contract and constitutional theory parallels this: when one party to a compact (the federal government) fails to uphold its obligations, the other party (Texas) is justified in withdrawing.

Given the federal governmentโ€™s entrenched systemic abuse, lack of accountability, and absence of effective remedies, Texas secession emerges not only as a political necessity but as the sole legitimate recourse to restore governance based on consent, protect fundamental rights, and reestablish rule of law within its jurisdiction.

Texas faces a federal government deeply entrenched in systemic abuses, including widespread surveillance, violation of constitutional rights, and manipulation of legal and social systems that undermine individual freedoms and due process. Persistent failures in federal accountability mechanisms mean that grievances against these abuses go unaddressed, with courts, oversight bodies, and legislative branches either complicit or ineffective. Efforts to seek redress within the existing federal framework are consistently thwarted by political obstruction, legal immunities, and secrecy protocols that protect the perpetrators.

Texas secession is not merely a symbolic political act but a necessary, legitimate recourse to reclaim self-governance based on the explicit consent of its people. Secession would enable Texas to rebuild a legal and governmental structure that prioritizes transparency, constitutional protections, and the restoration of fundamental human and civil rights. By withdrawing from a federal system that enforces authoritarian control through AI surveillance, militarized policing, and opaque judicial processes, Texas could establish a jurisdiction free from coercive overreach, protect its citizensโ€™ autonomy, and reassert the primacy of rule of law as the foundation of its society. Without such decisive action, Texas risks continued subjugation under an unaccountable federal regime that systematically erodes freedoms and denies justice. #Texit

Who are Superforecasters?
Developed through the Good Judgment Project (GJP), led by Philip Tetlock, Barbara Mellers, and Don Moore, they emerged from an IARPA forecasting tournament (2011โ€“2015), outpacing seasoned intelligence analystsโ€”even those with access to classified dataโ€”by about 30โ€“72%

On hundreds of real-world predictions (geopolitics, economics, epidemiology), professional Superforecasters average around 79% accuracy, placing the correct outcome as most probable seven out of ten times

They predict critical inflection pointsโ€”like the Fed rate changes or pandemic developmentsโ€”months to over a year in advance, often earlier than traditional markets or experts

Superforecasters apply structured thinking and probabilistic clarity, using base rates to temper overconfidence. They engage in team discussions to refine individual judgments through diverse perspectives. Constant calibration and scoring provide feedback loops that sharpen accuracy over time. Their open-minded โ€œfoxโ€ mindset emphasizes adaptability and learning over rigid ideology.

For broad, global, real-world event prediction, Superforecasters from the Good Judgment Project consistently outperform both traditional experts and AI models. Their success is rooted in rigorous methodologyโ€”not intuition or insider knowledge.

That wasn't oil vapors, that was water...

I'd like to be able to burn off used motor oil in a diesel generator and make use of its energy content. I don't want to send it through the injection pump because then I have to clean it, so my answer is to cover the exhaust pipe with a shroud and then drip oil onto it and suck the oil vapors into the air intake of the engine to be burned with the diesel...

A thing I'm seeing with increasing frequency from the younger members of our community is this like ...

Let me back up.

I work with some folks in their early twenties, and I am having a hard time relating to some of them. Some of them are having a hard time relating to one another.

And the root of this difficulty is propaganda, I think. All of them are constantly bombarded with video propaganda via social media. A lot of it is anti-community propaganda. Most of the media they consume is just about strengthening their disaffiliation with various outgroups. Even the stuff that's about celebrating people is, at least in passing, also about excluding or dehumanizing people.

And, for each of them, the memberships in these various in and out groups is unique. One of them has fallen in to a real trad Christian, 1950s fetishization, one of them watches a lot of stuff premised on the idea that nuerotypical people are an evolutionary dead end, and nuerodivergent people are the path forward...

It's... The specific content isn't what worries me. Like, both of those things aren't great, but the particular contents of the propaganda is irrelevant to my current point (because content can be addressed and deprogrammed.) Regardless of what flavor of self-isolating purity test content they've fallen in to, there are some common themes:

- policing other people's behaviors and desires
- shame for basically any expression of sexuality
- an outsized importance on excluding people

I'm sure there's other stuff, and I know this isn't unique to folks under 25, but it seems to be especially pervasive with them.

Social battles that I thought were long settled are not only coming back up, but also going the wrong way.

And I have to assume that this is, intentional and coordinated or not, an attempt to break any kind of solidarity that might build between people who are dissimilar.

In the U.S., Fifth Generation Warfare targets Americans through coordinated psychological campaigns, algorithm-driven social media control, mass surveillance, and predictive policing. Government agencies use behavioral messaging to influence public behavior, while intelligence collaboration with tech platforms monitors and suppresses dissent online. Fusion centers and AI analytics track potential domestic threats, and laws expand powers for censorship and surveillance. Public-private partnerships with tech companies further enable content moderation and information control, collectively shaping perceptions and limiting opposition within the population.

The current global landscape is dominated by an active, deliberate Fifth Generation Warfare (5GW) campaign where governments, military alliances, corporations, and intelligence agencies systematically target human cognition, social trust, and societal cohesion through advanced technological, psychological, and legal means. This 5GW regime employs intentional algorithmic polarization, state-sanctioned psychological operations, and formal doctrines embedding censorship, surveillance, and lawfare. Coordination occurs among powerful state blocs and proxy groups, creating a functionally integrated but decentralized conflict environment. Alongside this strategic orchestration, emergent dynamics such as unintended feedback loops, independent actor imitation, and societal stressors amplify complexity and chaos. This ongoing, low-visibility cognitive war is the new operational system shaping global power and social control.

Proposal for Systemic Transformation

When implemented, all citizens earning under $1 million a year will be exempt from federal income tax. By Year 5, every American receives payments of $1,000/month. Child removals drop by 52โ€ฏpercent. Deaths in foster care drop by 62โ€ฏpercent.* Family courts are subject to elevated evidentiary standards, jury trials, and oversight commissions with authority to protect families. Community dashboards enable real-time citizen participation in government via mobile access. Successful litigation against major corporations, media, and big tech restores justice and repays past violations. Enhanced privacy rights protections, backed by transparency, and democratic control of accountability restrict digital surveillance. National GDP growth reaches 13.9%. Inlflation slows to 2.4%. Annual revenues grow to $665Bโ€ฏbillion. Enhanced IRS audits recover $475B billion in unpaid taxes.* Taxes from the top 1% fund social programs, and everyone benefits greatly.

Critics opposing this plan mostly protect entrenched interests rather than reflect evidence, ignoring the systemic harms the plan addresses. The planโ€™s progressive taxes are fiscally viable with enforcement tools and savings offsetting costs. UBI pilots show no labor decline and support education and well-being. Community oversight ensures democratic accountability and limits bureaucracy. Rights-based alternatives improve child safety and reduce trauma. Tech equity fosters just innovation. Complexity is managed through phased design, audits, and legal oversight. Overall, the plan offers a practical, evidence-backed alternative to a failing system.

I. The U.S. child welfare system is intertwined with technocratic capitalism, economic extraction, and ideological repression. It disproportionately targets Black, Indigenous, disabled, politically dissenting, and religious minority familiesยน. CPS, under the protection pretext, benefits from Titleโ€ฏIVโ€‘E and Medicaid funding, incentivizing family separationsยฒ. Corporations like Palantir, IBM, and Deloitte supply surveillance infrastructure enabling systemic abuseยณ. Big Tech platforms deโ€‘platform activists like Truth4Children and FamilyJusticeNow, suppressing dissentโด. Opaque family courts perpetuate racialized dispossession and extract billions annuallyโต. This proposal demands dismantling the familyโ€‘court industrial complex and replacing it with communityโ€‘led, antiโ€‘racist, pro-democracy, rightsโ€‘based structures aligned with international conventionsโถ.

II. Current Challenges and Abuses
A. Structural Targeting through CPS
Neglect, legally defined as caregiver failure to provide care, is applied to povertyโ€‘induced conditions like inadequate housing, or disability, weaponizing CPS interventionsโท. Black and Indigenous families are removed disproportionately due to racial, cultural, and ideological biasesโธ. Disability, political dissent, and religious identity exacerbate targetingโน,ยนโฐ,ยนยน. Whistleblowers consistently face retaliationยนยฒ. CPSโ€‘imposed economic hardship generates intergenerational traumaยนยณ. A survivor reported losing their children due to praying differently and questioning authorityยนโด.

B. Digital Surveillance and Ideological Targeting
Predictive analytics like the Allegheny Family Screening Tool flag families of color, disabled, or politically active individuals at higher rates without transparencyยนโต. School discipline systems disproportionately surveil Black and Indigenous childrenยนโถ. Big Tech platforms suppress cpsโ€‘critical speech by demoting or removing posts of family justice groupsยนโท. Fusion centers build activist and religious minority databases without scrutinyยนโธ. Families report increased surveillance and removals after protests or dissentยนโน.

C. Socioeconomic and Intergenerational Harm
An accurate estimate of preventable costs from the U.S. child welfare system and family courts (1960โ€“2023) is approximately $21.5 trillion to $23 trillion in 2023 dollars based on conservative, well-documented categories: direct welfare (AFDC/TANF) around $9.24 trillionแตƒ; Title IV-D child support enforcement $200 billionแต‡; family court operations $3.15 trillionแถœ; indirect costs including economic losses from marriage decline $1.5 trillionแตˆ; foster care $650 billionแต‰; lost productivity $750 billionแถ ; and policy-driven welfare increases $6 trillionแต.

Foster youth mortality is 1.4 times higher than peersยฒยน. Survivors describe cultural and spiritual erasure: โ€œOur children were taken because we refused to abandon our beliefs and communityโ€ยฒโด.

III. Proposed Policy Reforms
A. Progressive Taxation

* $0 โ€“ $1,000,000/year: 0%
(no federal income tax liability)
* $1,000,001 โ€“ $2,000,000: 37%
* $2,000,001 โ€“ $5,000,000: 50%
* $5,000,001 โ€“ $20,000,000: 60%
* $20,000,001 โ€“ $100,000,000: 70%
* Above $100,000,001/year: 80%

Marginal tax rates up to 80% on the topโ€ฏ0.1%, uncapping payroll taxes on incomes above $1โ€ฏmillion, imposing a 1โ€“2% wealth tax on assets exceeding $50โ€ฏmillion, and closing capital gains loopholes generate revenue for reparations, legal defense, dismantling private foster systems, and abolishing profitโ€‘driven courtsยฒโต,ยฒโถ. Oversight comes from democratically accountable fiscal bodies with enforcement powersยฒโท.

B. Universal Basic Income (UBI)
A taxโ€‘exempt UBI begins at $500/month, rising to $1,000 in Yearโ€ฏ5, funded through progressive taxes and welfare consolidationยฒโธ. Longitudinal studies show UBI reduces CPS involvement by 15โ€“25% and improves family cohesionยฒโน,ยณโฐ. Benefits include better education, reduced domestic violence, improved nutrition, and less emergency shelter relianceยณโฐ. Priority outreach will target heavily surveilled communitiesยณยน.

C. Community Oversight
Establish communityโ€‘led oversight bodies with power to approve, revoke, or block surveillance and CPS policiesยณยฒ,ยณยณ. These bodies will have subpoena and litigation authority; audit CPS biannually; and provide whistleblowerโ€‘protected grievance channelsยณโด.

D. Abolish Profit Motives
Remove financial incentives for adoptions and fosterโ€‘care removalsยณโต. Require jury trials, early legal representation, ombuds services, and comprehensive public removal and fatality reporting with penaltiesยณโถ,ยณโท,ยณโธ. Prohibit court fees and redirect investments into restorative justice and mutual aidยณโน.

E. Prohibit Unconsented Surveillance
Ban surveillance tech in schools and welfare systems without informed community and parental approvalโดโฐ,โดยน. Provide traumaโ€‘informed, culturally competent services insteadโดยฒ. Ban surveillance or removals based on political or religious identityโดยณ.

F. Democratic Technological Governance
Mandate at least 20% equity ownership in surveillance and CPS tech firms by affected communitiesโดโด. Create oversight councils with veto and audit authority, ethical boards with prosecutorial power, enforce quarterly accountability reports, ban revolvingโ€‘door practices, require realโ€‘time public dashboards, and support tech coโ€‘ops building justiceโ€‘centered infrastructureโดโต,โดโถ,โดโท.

G. Reparative Social Investment
Invest \$550โ€“900โ€ฏbillion annually in communityโ€‘led health, housing, education, justice, and cultural projects, offset by savings from decarceration, homelessness prevention, and fosterโ€‘care reductionโดโธ,โดโน. Use intersectional metrics to ensure equitable distributionโตโฐ.

IV. Implementation and Accountability
A fiveโ€‘year rollout will occur with biannual evaluations tied to specific milestones: Yearsโ€ฏ1โ€“5 covering legal framework creation, UBI scaling ($500โ€“$1,000/month), surveillance ban expansions, jury trials for family courts, reparations, communityโ€‘led CPS alternatives, and surveillance dismantling. Measurements include audits, surveillance use reduction, intervention rates, reunification outcomes, and survivor testimony. Pilot efforts in highโ€‘removal zones will be funded by participatory budgeting. Enforcement through strategic litigation and oversight with whistleblower protection will ensure complianceยณยฒ,ยณยณ,โตยน,โตยฒ,โตยณ.

V. Anticipated Outcomes
Expect a 20โ€“30% reduction in wrongful removals, a 30% drop in foster youth mortality, 40% increase in family reunification, 15โ€“20% lower incarceration rates, and 2โ€“3% GDP growth. These projections draw from longitudinal studies like Stockton SEED, Mincome, Department of HHS data, Urban Institute, and NBER modelsโตโด,โตโต,โตโถ,โตโท. Survivor feedback confirms restored dignity and community agencyโตโธ,โตโน.

VI. UBI Implementation and Fiscal Management
UBI begins at $500/month/year, rising to $1,000/ by Yearโ€ฏ5 with projected annual costs from $1.98 to nearly $4โ€ฏtrillion. Net cost is kept in check through clawbacks, welfare repurposing, and a fiscal threshold of $1.29โ€ฏtrillion surplus before increases proceed. Outreach through grassroots and faithโ€‘based partners will ensure equitable accessโถโฐ,โถยน.

VII. Risk Mitigation, Enforcement, Compliance
Antiโ€‘evasion mechanisms include FATCA and CRS, covering 120+ jurisdictions, $12โ€ฏtrillion+ in disclosed assets, and FATCA prosecutionsโถยฒ,โถยณ,โถโด. IRS AIโ€‘audit systems must include human oversight, bias checks, and transparency assessments per GAO mandatesโถโต,โถโถ. Use White House AI Bill of Rights, NIST, ANAO frameworks, Aequitas, AI Fairness 360, and Dโ€‘Bias in lawโถโท,โถโธ,โถโน,โทโฐ. Enforce through thirdโ€‘party audits, public reporting, human review, and penalties.

VIII. Education Privacy and Child Welfare
Codify data minimization, retention limits, and annual audits; violations trigger the consequence of funding loss. Fosterโ€‘home inspections quarterly; raise removal evidentiary standard to beyondโ€‘reasonableโ€‘doubt with jury trials and counsel within 14โ€ฏdays. Families get legal counsel and compensation for improper removals. Oversight modeled on Ontarioโ€™s Lawyer for Children office improves reunificationโทยน,โทยฒ.

IX. Democratic Governance of Technology and Innovation
Oakland, Seattle, Nashville ordinances bind municipal surveillance to community oversight, veto power, transparency obligations, and bans on predictive analyticsยณ. Platforms like Polis and OpenAIโ€™s democratic inputs pilots demonstrate scalable public engagementโทยณ,โทโด,โทโต. Best practices include elected tech boards with binding veto/audit rights, algorithmic audits, redress, short retention policies, and oversightโทโถ. Initiatives like Equitable AI Roundtables, AI courts, and toolkits empower activismโทโท,โทโธ.

X. Mitigation Strategies and Fiscal Sustainability
Offset savings from decarceration ($250โ€ฏbillion), homelessness ($180โ€ฏbillion), and CPS ($140โ€ฏbillion) total $570โ€ฏbillion annuallyยน. Sweden shows phased tax reforms sustain growth (2%) with welfare maintenanceโทโน,โธโฐ,โธยน. Public acceptance requires service continuity; deficits require stabilization aidโธยฒ.

XI. Outcomes After 5 Years*

Expect 30% fewer unjust removals, 62% fewer deaths of foster children, more reunification, improved education, better employment outcomes, and regained dignity and agencyโธโด.
Foster Population: -52%
Incarcerated: -38%
Institutionalized: -20%
Hospitalized: -10%
Handicapped: -5%
Chronically Ill: -8%
Substance Abuser: -12%
Religious: +1%
Registered Voters: +5%
Business Proprietor: +7%
Destitute (under $10,000/year): -97%
Impoverished ($10,001+/year): -20%
Middle Income ($50,000+/year): +30%
Upper Middle ($130,001+/year): +20%
A Little Rich ($300,001+/year): +5%
Super Rich ($1,000,001+/year): -15%
Mega Rich ($5,000,001+/year): -20%
Crazy Rich ($20,000,001+/year): -25%
Filthy Rich ($50,000,001+/year): -30%
The Richest ($100 million+/year): -35%

*These estimates were derived from a sequential simulation modeling the five-year rollout of the policy framework. The simulation applied the new tax rates over five years, increasing universal basic income from \$500 to \$1,000 monthly. It modeled IRS audit recoveries rising annually and adjusted populations yearly based on these changes. Social outcomes like foster care removals, incarceration, and income distribution shifted incrementally each year. Fiscal flowsโ€”tax revenues, UBI costs, and savingsโ€”were calculated annually to ensure consistency.

In conclusion, while the projected outcomes are supported by related research, the actual impact would depend on effective implementation, and monitoring.

Building a World Without Family Policing

Far from promoting the well-being of children, the so-called child welfare system weaponizes children as a way to threaten families, to scapegoat parents for societal harms to their childrenโ€ฆ

Exposing Child Welfare Abuses and Advancing Nuclear, AI, and Communityโ€‘Based Solutions

This report identifies critical divergences between current administration practices and recommended reforms to ensure democratic oversight, privacy protections, and accountability in education and child welfare. It critically examines the administrationโ€™s deployment of AI-driven surveillance in Kโ€“12 schools and systemic biases in the child-welfare system. It documents the mechanisms that infringe on student privacy, exacerbate the school-to-prison pipeline, and incentivize unjust family separations. By anchoring claims in detailed data, case examples, and statutory references, the report highlights ignored legal obligations and proposes comprehensive reforms to align national security and innovation with constitutional protections and justice.

1. Digital Privacy & Student Surveillance Abuses
1.1 U.S. Kโ€‘12 schools widely deploy AI surveillance tools GoGuardian, Gaggle, Securly, Bark that monitor studentsโ€™ digital behaviorโ€”including messages, browsing history, facial recognition, and keystrokesโ€”on schoolโ€‘issued laptops used at homeยน. According to GoGuardianโ€™s internal audit for Q1โ€ฏ2024, 68โ€ฏpercent of flagged alerts were false positives, misidentifying innocuous activity as threatsยฒ.
Additionally, the Electronic Frontier Foundationโ€™s 2023 publicโ€‘records investigation through its โ€œRedโ€ฏFlagโ€ฏMachineโ€ found that GoGuardian and similar tools systematically flagged benign or educational content: college websites; counseling and therapy pages; gunโ€‘violence information; sexualโ€‘health resources; historical topics such as slavery or the Holocaust; political, medical and news sites; LGBTQ+ resources; and general educational materialยณ.
One Texas school district reported receiving up to 50,000 alerts dailyโ€”many linked to content about slavery, the Holocaust, sexual discrimination, or college admissionsโด.

1.2 These alerts often arrive without human review and are forwarded directly to staff, parents, or law enforcement, leading to intrusive interventions and criminalizationโต. An Aprilโ€ฏ2024 Arkansas student was arrested after an MLK Jr. speech transcript triggered the systemโ€™s threatโ€‘detection algorithmโถ.

1.3 Use is widespread: 89โ€ฏpercent of teachers report using surveillance software and 65โ€ฏpercent say theyโ€™re tasked with managing false positives, significantly increasing workloadโท. Online reviews on Trustpilot and SiteJabber describe the tools as โ€œspywareโ€ and privacyโ€‘invasiveโธ.

2. Childโ€‘Welfare System Bias & Trauma
2.1 County funding formulas reward removalsโ€”approximately \$5,000 per adoption versus \$1,500 per reunificationโ€”pushing social workers toward removing children rather than preserving familiesโน.
2.2 The federal Familyโ€ฏFirst Prevention Services Act (Titleโ€ฏ42โ€ฏU.S.C.โ€ฏยงโ€ฏ675) maintains a โ€œpreponderance of evidenceโ€ standard for removalโ€”far lower than the criminal standard of โ€œbeyond reasonable doubtโ€โ€”which the administration has refused to upgradeยนโฐ.
2.3 Independent studies show 80โ€ฏpercent of removals are based on vague unsubstantiated neglect allegations, and over half of removed children are never reunited. Fosterโ€‘care alumni face \~25โ€ฏpercent incarceration by ageโ€ฏ20; only 50โ€ฏpercent complete high school; \~10โ€ฏpercent graduate college; \~30โ€ฏpercent suffer PTSD; \~50โ€ฏpercent become homeless; and teenage pregnancy and misclassifiedโ€‘death rates are significantly elevatedยนยน.

3. Mandate Robust Digital Privacy Protections in Schools
3.1 Amend federal edโ€‘tech procurement rules and enforce Executive Orderโ€ฏ14081 (Mayโ€ฏ2023) to ban intrusive monitoring tools; require voluntary deployment, parental optโ€‘in, data minimization, retention limits, transparency, annual thirdโ€‘party bias audits, and civilโ€‘rights assessments tied to Titleโ€ฏI and CARES/ARP fundingยนยฒ.
3.2 Require that flagged incidents trigger mentalโ€‘health intervention rather than law enforcement unless judicially authorized.
3.3 Reinforce Fourth Amendment rights; prohibit predictive policing or algorithmic risk scoring; mandate DOJ standards that flagged content alone cannot justify arrests, searches, or removals; this contravenes the Department of Justiceโ€™s Januaryโ€ฏ2024 guidance on studentโ€‘data protection in public schools, which prohibits unauthorized disclosure of pupil records without due processยนยณ.

4. End AIโ€‘Driven Criminalization of Innocent Students
Require schools to stop sending flagged alerts to law enforcement without investigation and judicial oversight, strengthening Fourth Amendment protections.

5. Protect Atโ€‘Risk Families from Unjust Child Removal
Enact federal laws guaranteeing criminalโ€‘level evidentiary standards before removal; rights to jury trial, counsel, and crossโ€‘examination; independent ombuds review; reunification funding following children; and prohibition of agency financial gains from removals or adoptions.

6. Reform Fosterโ€‘Care System to Prevent Abuse & Trauma
Link federal funding to quarterly safety inspections; ban overโ€‘medication and unverified psychiatric diagnoses; restrict groupโ€‘home placements; require traumaโ€‘informed training for foster parents and periodic mentalโ€‘health assessments; publicly report PTSD, homelessness, teen pregnancy, and mortality metrics.

7. Mandate Transparency & Media Accountability
Require public reporting by child-welfare agencies detailing removals, evidence, outcomes, and review findings; revoke federal funding from agencies that obstruct press access or reclassify deaths.

8. Democratize Nuclearโ€“AI Development
Amend the Mayโ€ฏ23โ€ฏ2025 executive order on advanced nuclear projects to mandate 20โ€ฏpercent communityโ€‘owned equity in reactorโ€“AI campuses (e.g., Trump Advanced Energy and Intelligence Campus) to ensure local control and accountabilityยนโด.

9. Fastโ€‘Track SMRs with Local Oversight means the NRC speeds up its licensing process for small modular reactors only at pilot sites where local residents, experts and elected boards share real decisionโ€‘making power. In return for genuine community governance of siting, design and operations, regulators agree to an abbreviated review timeline. Public energyโ€‘use dashboards run by that community board then stream realโ€‘time data on power output, fuel use, waste and safety events so residents and watchdogs can monitor performance immediately. This model pairs faster reactor deployment with democratic control and full transparency.

10. Redirect Tariff Revenue & Wealth Taxes to Public Innovation Funds
Allocate 50โ€ฏpercent of new tariffs and wealth taxes to a National Innovation Trust funding local AIโ€‘nuclear R\&D and UBI pilots.

11. Reinstate Robust Ethics Rules with Enforcement
Enact a scaledโ€‘down Drainโ€ฏtheโ€ฏSwamp Act banning lobbyist gifts, instituting coolingโ€‘off periods, and creating realโ€‘time public dashboards for lobbying and political spendingยนโต.

12. Anchor Freedom City Zones in Democratic Governance
Establish zones with elected council control over licensing; worker representation; municipal or cooperative data ownership; and periodic public referenda.

13. Embed Public Ownership in the Stargate Innovation Model
Secure 10โ€“15โ€ฏpercent nonโ€‘dilutable public stake via a federally audited cooperative in the Stargate initiative (OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle), channeling returns into retraining, smartโ€‘city tech, and UBI pilots.

14. Public Accountability Dashboards & Recall Mechanisms
Create dashboards tracking deregulation, permits, lobbyist access, and political gifts tied to executive actions, and empower local communities with moratoriums or referenda to recall projects breaching transparency and trust.

Conclusion: These proposed reforms realign national security, economic acceleration, and technological innovation with constitutional protections, democratic oversight, and societal imperatives. Subsequent chapters will delve into the technological architecture of surveillance systems, systemic bias in removal practices, legal reform frameworks, case-study analyses of implementation failures, governance models for AIโ€‘nuclear integration, and mechanisms for sustaining public accountability.

WATCH NOW: 'Gaza: Doctors Under Attack' โ€“ The Full Film They Didn't Want You To See


Exclusive: The powerful film the BBC refused to air is out now, released globally by Zeteo. It documents Israel's destruction of Gaza's hospitals and the killing of Palestinian doctors.
Team Zeteo
Jul 02, 2025

โ€œWe are in the theater, in the operating room, full darkness, no water, no electricity. But we have a hero, surgeons in Gaza.โ€ - Dr. Adnan al-Bursh, 1974-2024

It goes without saying that the livestreamed cruelty of Israelโ€™s genocide has been indescribably shocking and painful to witness over the last 21 months. A particularly problematic and disturbing aspect of it has been around Gazaโ€™s hospitals, targeting healthcare workers and the besieged Stripโ€™s medical infrastructure at an unprecedented scale, and in clear violation of international law.

โ€˜Gaza: Doctors Under Attack,โ€™ produced by the award-winning Basement Films team that brought us last yearโ€™s Zeteo exclusive โ€˜Israelโ€™s Reel Extremism,โ€™ includes harrowing on-camera testimony from Dr. Adnan al-Bursh, who was arrested by the Israeli military in December 2023 and, according to a #UN report, โ€œsubjected to sexual violence in an Israeli prison prior to his death in Israeli custody.โ€

It also features shocking accounts of #torture at the #Israeli #prison #Sde-Teiman from an anonymous Israeli doctor there, who accuses his fellow Israeli medics of being complicit in the abuse of Palestinians held in detention.

This was a film that the BBC had originally commissioned.However, after several delays, they decided, very controversially, not to publish it, issuing a statement saying they had โ€œcome to the conclusion that broadcasting this material risked creating a perception of partiality.โ€ In a response, Basement Films, in a statement posted on Twitter/X, said, โ€œThe truth must be toldโ€ฆ Itโ€™s a damning indictment that it is not possible under the national broadcasterโ€™s current leadership.โ€

Profiting From Genocide


The latest United Nations report names hundreds of corporations, banks, technology firms, universities, pension funds and charities that profit from the Israeli occupation and genocide.

War is a business. So is genocide. The latest report submitted by Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, lists 48 corporations and institutions, including Palantir Technologies Inc., Lockheed Martin, Alphabet Inc., Amazon, International Business Machine Corporation (IBM), Caterpillar Inc., Microsoft Corporation and Massachusetts Institue of Technology (MIT), along with banks and financial firms such as Blackrock, insurers, real estate firms and charities, which in violation of international law are making billions from the occupation and the genocide of Palestinians.

Went exploring a bit with one of my old friends who likes doing that too. We went to Kokushi, one of the historical ninja cities and visited one of the remaining ninjutsu houses built during the Edo period. Despite being a sightseeing place now, there were few tourists because you have to drive to reach it, so it was perfect for us to get out and enjoy.

Interesting fact: because ninjas carried various herbs for espionage purposes, they often posed as medicine menโ€ฆand now thereโ€™s a lot of pharmacists in the area because the families have been practicing making medicines for hundreds of years!

Living Not Deadmund

None of the real news going down is getting any coverage at all. Instead the MSM is nothing but gaslighting and distractions. Nothing about the legit energy war raging atm, for instance.

Schumann resonances (which measure fluctuations in Earth's magnetic field) recorded what appears to be a massive energy weapon deployed last Thursday -- that's that strange reading in the left of the chart, which are unlike anything ever seen before and way outside of natural rhythms (which you can see on the right side).

I believe that's why the energy this weekend felt whack as hell (very dense, exhausting, volatile). But we made it out the other side!

Guest: G. Edward Griffin - Exposing The Blueprint of Control: From Jekyll Island to CBDCs
G. Edward Griffin needs little introductionโ€”at 93, this author, documentary filmmaker and founder of Unfiltered Media has spent more than half a century exposing hidden power, most famously in The Creature from Jekyll Island, where he traced the secret meeting that birthed the Federal Reserve. In this episode of The Free Thought Project Podcast, Matt Agorist, Jason Bassler and Don Via Jr. sit down with Griffin to map the banking cartelโ€™s century-long blueprint for control and plot how we break its chokehold.
We launch into the 1910 rendezvous on that remote Georgia islandโ€”no hearings, no debateโ€”where a cabal of bankers and politicians sketched out the Fed, then fast-forward to today, as Griffin pulls back the curtain on how the same elites are weaponizing digital currencies, surveillance algorithms and predictive analytics to usher in a technocratic state. He lays bare their endgame: collapse the old order and herd us into a system of total oversight, where every dollar and dissenting thought is tracked.
But this isnโ€™t just an economic exposรฉ. We dive into the philosophical roots of our engineered societyโ€”how a government stripped of principle by design has betrayed the foundersโ€™ grand experiment in libertyโ€”and ask what it will take to reawaken those checks and balances before theyโ€™re gone for good. As the clock winds down, Griffin shares his vision for the Red Pill Expo, a gathering meant to spark a new revolution of truth-seekers.
And just when you think youโ€™ve heard it all, we hit you with one of Griffinโ€™s own truths as our white-pill moment: a reminder that the fight demands action now, or the price of victory will only climb. His answerโ€”about the decision heโ€™s making in this very moment and the step each of us must take before this episode endsโ€”is one you wonโ€™t want to miss.
