The Hidden Empire: How 3 City-States Secretly Control the World

What if everything you were taught about your nation, your freedom, and your government was an illusion? What if The United States is not a country—but a corporation? This mind-blowing exposé dives deep into the hidden history of The Empire of the City—a three-pronged power structure composed of the Vatican (spiritual control), the City of London (economic control), and Washington D.C. (military control). Together, these independent city-states operate as a supranational shadow government… beyond your vote, your voice, and your constitution.

In this electrifying breakdown, we cover:
• The Act of 1871 and how it turned the U.S. into a for-profit corporation
• The mysterious origins and symbols behind the obelisks in each city state
• The true puppet masters behind global wars, banking collapses, and sovereign theft
• How The Wizard of Oz is actually an allegorical roadmap to breaking free from legal enslavement
• Why your birth certificate created a legal fiction—the “Straw Man”—you never consented to
• And how the “yellow brick road” was never a metaphor for fantasy… but for gold.

From the Vatican to Wall Street, from the Crown to the courtroom—this video unpacks the architecture of control that has turned nations into colonies and citizens into commodities.

Toto already pulled back the curtain. Now it’s your turn to look.

How to Deliver Web Design Feedback That Wins


 Feedback that’s clear, constructive, and to the point. Skip vague comments like “It needs more zing” and use these 10 steps to guide your designer to a stellar result.

Revisions are where websites come to life. Whether you’re partnering with a web designer or a web design agency, the first draft often needs tweaks. Maybe the layout’s too busy, the colors feel off, or it’s not quite your brand’s vibe.

The trick to getting it right? Feedback that’s clear, constructive, and to the point. Skip vague comments like “It needs more zing” and use these 10 steps to guide your designer to a stellar result.

1. Start with the Problem, Not the Solution


When something’s not working, don’t jump to “Make this blue” or “Move that button.” Instead, explain the issue: “The button’s hard to spot” or “This section feels cluttered.” This gives your web designer freedom to find the best fix.

Instead of:
"Use a different font."
Try:
"The text feels hard to read. Can we make it clearer?"

2. Be Specific


Feedback like “It’s not quite there” or “It needs more pop” is tough to act on. Zero in on the problem:

  • Are the images too dark?
  • Is the spacing uneven?
  • Does the tone feel mismatched?

You don’t need design lingo—just describe it clearly.

3. Prioritize Your Users


Your website’s for your audience, not you. Ask:

  • Does this design make sense to our visitors?
  • Is it easy to navigate?
  • Could anything confuse them?

User-focused feedback helps your web designer create a site that works.

4. Avoid Feedback Overload


When your team sends a barrage of separate notes, it’s chaos. Conflicting ideas slow things down. Instead, have one person collect and unify feedback into a single, clear message for the web design agency.

One voice means faster progress.

5. Use Visuals to Clarify


Words can be vague. A screenshot with annotations—circling issues or adding notes—makes your point crystal clear. Any basic markup tool does the job.

Even better, share an example:
"This site’s clean navigation feels great—can we aim for that?"

6. Focus on Brand, Not Personal Taste


Dislike a color? If it’s in your brand guidelines, it’s likely intentional. Before critiquing, ask:
Does this align with our brand?
Personal preferences can derail focus, so tie feedback to brand and user goals.

7. Organize Your Feedback


Don’t send feedback in random emails or chats. Bundle it into one document or message, sorted by page or issue. For example:

  • Homepage: Banner feels too heavy.
  • About Page: Text blends into the background.

This keeps your web designer on track.

8. Be Honest, But Respectful


If something’s off, say it straight—no sugarcoating. But don’t be harsh. Designers put in real effort. Try:

  • “The layout’s not quite our style yet.”
  • “This is close, but it needs a bit more flow.”

Direct and kind feedback builds trust.

9. Highlight Priorities


Some changes are critical; others are nice-to-haves. Tell your web designer what’s urgent—like “The call-to-action must stand out”—versus optional, like “A different image might work.” Prioritizing keeps the project efficient.

10. Embrace the Journey


First drafts are starting points, not the final product. Revisions shape the design into something great. Give clear feedback, expect a few rounds, and trust your web design agency to deliver.

Final Word


You don’t need to be a design expert to give killer feedback. Be clear, user-focused, and organized, and your Singapore web designer will create a website that nails your vision.

Less frustration, better results.

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
  • Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
  • Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
  • Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
  • Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
  • Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
  • Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
  • Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
  • Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
  • Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
  • Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
  • Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
  • Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
  • Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
  • Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
  • Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
  • Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
  • Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
  • Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
  • Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
  • Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
  • Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
  • Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
  • Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
  • Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
  • Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
  • Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
  • Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.

Moissaye J. Olgin: Freedom must be fought for and this fight cannot wait. It is a matter requiring action right now and every day. Your employers try to prevent you from organizing: organize. They will try to fire your organizers: stand pat, defend them! They will try to him out like a yellow cur! They will put some of your leaders in jail: demonstrate, protest, fill the court room with hundreds of workers, demand the release of your comrades, picket the court house, picket the judge’s house, call other workers to help you in your struggle; make your struggle the struggle of great numbers of class conscious workers! wordsmith.social/protestation/…

i've sunk as much money as i can justify right now into off grid power. it's a huge risk to buy this stuff in advance of building the structure to house them, but with all the tariff stuff going on and everything solar coming from china, i had to choose between either doing this now, or possibly paying double for it in a few months, which would have been as huge loss, although now it looks like we are negotiating a better trade deal china, which i hope works out regardless. i think the tariff on china currently is around 30%

I've built an app... With AI..... Hear me out!

Edit: I think I need to clarify further that this is a one off thing. I've never had AI build anything for me. This is just one time that I wanted to test it out, and the test came out with a good app that I thought I could share to maybe benefit some. Just to be clear, it's not thinking for me, I still learn on my own, and have AI ONLY explain concepts for me, not code, and it does very well. Asked for opinions, got downvotes. lol

Hi all,
I do code on my own without AI, but in all honesty, I'm not that great (I'm a junior dev at my job, and don't have a lot of experience). I always use AI to explain things to me, not code for me. I made that my mission, so I don't let it think for me because I want to learn. It explains things very well and I've been learning a great deal.

Today, I decided to test it out. I asked it to build an app for me that works on KDE Plasma, my favorite DE.

I use some appimages for some apps. I tried appimagelauncher and gear lever and had some issues with them.

I want to integrate appimages into my system. So, I did a small workaround where I created a small script in ~/.local/bin that has one line after the shebang exec /<path to app image>/<appimage>. Then created a .desktop file that points to that script. I made one for Suyu and VIA and they both worked. I wanted to do it for more apps, but it got repetitive, so I gave AI some requirements and told it to add what's necessary if needed.

I've never programmed in Python, and it chose Python. lol. Ok, let's go with it. It made a pretty nice app. The app does 5 things:
1. Creates that little script I mentioned earlier
2. Creates the .desktop file for that app and makes it point to the correct things (script, icon, startupWMClass(this is so the app will still launch after pinning it to the panel)....etc)
3. Copies the appimage into a "appimages" folder in the home directory
4. Adds an icon of your choosing to the app
5. It makes everything executable

I had it package the app into an appimage (that's something I've never done before and it was pretty freaking cool to learn) and I'm planning on making an .rpm and a .deb packages of it, too.

The honest part. I feel a tiny bit of shame deep inside. But then I look at it and I see an app that could help some people. Who cares how I created it? I have always wanted to contribute something to the Linux world, and this feels like it.

What I'm asking for: your honest opinion. Should I feel that little shame? Should I put it up on GitHub? It would of course be GPL licensed. Maybe some folks want to make it better or contribute or fork it. I love open source and I feel like this could be useful to some.

So, hit me.
Thank you

It was a one time test. One off. Never happened before and won't happen again. I just wanted to test it, and the test came out with a nice app and I thought maybe I should share it. I could've just not said anything and put it on GitHub and no one would've have known. I am not sure how to say it better and make it make more sense. Is my English really that bad that people aren't getting what I'm saying? lol

Thoughts

The problem with black criminal action is once again accountability. The fact that the people can’t hold the govern accountable for their leadership responsibility is frankly frustrating. The fact that Black Lives Matter was fine, but White Lives Matter isn’t. Dividing the world culturally, now that politics has replaced religion. When people see policies of leaner sentences for blacks for horrendous crimes; law & order loses value and meaning.

It’s about the crime, not race.

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
  • Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
  • Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
  • Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
  • Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
  • Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
  • Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
  • Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
  • Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
  • Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
  • Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
  • Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
  • Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
  • Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
  • Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
  • Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
  • Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
  • Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
  • Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
  • Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
  • Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
  • Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
  • Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
  • Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
  • Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
  • Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
  • Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
  • Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
  • Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
  • Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.
