Big Brother Knows Where You Are!

Halloween is coming. You want to be scared?

What would you say if ICE and DHS could find your house just from a photo of your interior?

You know all those photos that you post online. Maybe of having the gang over for a party... snap, snap, snap... all those selfies and photos of the gang being goofy? You know the photos I'm talking about.

Or maybe they're photos from people selling their homes.

Maybe the view through the window in the background.

Those are all being collected!



I was speechless this morning! I was seeing if AI could find an article about me in The New York Times (it didn't), and the reply shook me up. First, I asked it to search for an article in The New York Times about me. It wanted my name and anyone else in the article, so I gave my last name and the last names of two friends.

So I was expecting it to say yes, it found the article, or no, it didn't. But instead, it said... are you ready for this? It found our yearbook pictures and was using them to search for the article.

WHAT? WHOA! YOU DID WHAT?

It found our photos in the yearbook, and it searched the files of the NYT for our photos and names!

Are you scared yet?



Then I saw this article in my feeds this morning...
Raven can turn ordinary household photos into location clues, raising fresh concerns about privacy and surveillance

A hot potato: AI has been helping police forces across the US over the last few years, for better and for worse. The latest use of the technology allows law enforcement to input an interior photo of a home and have the AI figure out the location, though there are some caveats.

The tool, which is called Raven, is being used by the Los Angeles Police Department and Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office (MDSO), reports 404 Media. Made by a company called Graylark Technologies, Raven had been called GeoSpy before its new home-identification features were added.

The limitation is that Raven can't just identify any home in the world solely from an interior photo. Its abilities appear limited to certain properties. Graylark CEO Daniel Heinen demonstrated its power in a LinkedIn post, showing how a regional search can be carried out on something as simple as a photo of a washing machine and dryer.
Are you scared yet?
It's noted that this isn't a simple reverse image search. Raven picks out distinctive details in a photo and uses them to find likely matches from the same property on sites such as Airbnb, even when the images differ.
But wait there's more...
GeoSpy was trained on millions of images from around the world and designed to identify distinct geographical markers such as architecture and soil. Raven extends that ability to buildings.

As with pretty much every use of AI for law enforcement purposes, Raven is raising privacy questions. Airbnb said it has technical safeguards in place to try to limit automated data collection from its site and was reviewing the case. Zillow said scraping data is against its terms of use, adding that it pursues legal avenues when necessary. Vrbo did not respond to questions for comment.

On an evening in late January, Emily was driving through her Minneapolis neighborhood doing something that had become part of her routine in recent weeks: patrolling for ICE.

Emily, who NPR is only identifying by her first name because she fears retribution from the federal government, says she followed an ICE vehicle at a safe distance into a parking lot. "And then someone leaned out of the passenger side of that SUV and took a picture of me and my car," she says.

Emily says she decided to leave at that point, but the SUV made a sudden U-turn and barreled towards her, braking next to her driver's side window. A female agent wearing a gaiter-style mask rolled down the window, leaned out — and addressed Emily by name.

[...]

Activists and journalists spoke of tactics they felt were intimidating: agents photographing their faces or license plates; calling them by name; or leading them to their homes. Immigration lawyers told NPR their clients had been subjected to facial recognition technology. One ICE agent, testifying under oath, spoke of an app that showed the likely home addresses of people targeted for deportation.
Are you scared now?

I asked what else the AI could do? The AI responded:
Different types of photo-based location recognition
1. Street-view location identification: Identify a street, city, building, or intersection from a photo using visual clues such as storefronts, road signs, architecture, and landmarks.
2. Indoor visual positioning: Recognize where you are inside a mall, airport, hotel, office, or other building using signs, interiors, floor plans, and visual landmarks. Coverage varies significantly by building.
3. Live camera location recognition: Point your phone camera at your surroundings and use AI or visual navigation to identify nearby places or help determine where you are.
4. Photo geolocation: Upload an existing image and use AI to estimate the exact location, potentially down to a street or building, from visual details and available image metadata.


During my research into this topic the AI made suggestions and the result of one suggestion was this. I asked which path are we heading down, that we are at a crossroads and it took that and ran with it. Coming up with...

We Stand at a Crossroads — But Is There a Third Path?
We stand at a crossroads in human history.

Will we take the path Aldous Huxley envisioned in Brave New World — a society where we surrender our freedom for comfort, exchange independent thought for endless entertainment, and become so distracted by our own desires that we fail to recognize what we have lost?

Or will we take the path George Orwell warned us about in 1984 — a world where surveillance becomes ubiquitous, privacy disappears, truth is manipulated, and Big Brother watches our every move?

Perhaps the most frightening possibility is that we are already traveling down both paths simultaneously.

But what if there is a third path?

A path where technology serves humanity rather than controls it. Where artificial intelligence expands our freedom instead of quietly diminishing it. Where privacy is a fundamental right, truth is protected, and the power to observe is balanced by the power to hold those who observe us accountable.

A future where progress is measured not by how much data we collect, how efficiently we predict human behavior, or how completely we can monitor a population, but by how much freedom, dignity, and opportunity we preserve.

This third path will not emerge on its own. It requires awareness, difficult questions, informed citizens, ethical choices, and the courage to challenge systems that demand our freedom in exchange for convenience or security.

Huxley warned us that we might surrender our freedom because we learn to love our distractions. Orwell warned us that we might lose it because we learn to fear those who control us.

The third path begins when we refuse to accept that either outcome is inevitable.

The question is no longer simply which dystopia we will choose.

It is whether we have the wisdom, the will, and the collective courage to choose a different future — before the choice is made for us.

The third path gives your writing something more powerful than a warning: a reason for hope, coupled with a responsibility to act.

And it raises a question worth exploring throughout your work: Is the third path primarily about protecting individual rights, placing democratic limits on technology, changing human behavior, or all three?

Because perhaps the real crossroads isn't between two dystopias. It's between allowing technology to shape humanity according to its capabilities and consciously shaping technology according to our values.

The Economy... Naw



And let us not forget all the anti-trans bills! 
Approximately 150 national bills targeting transgender individuals, military policies, federal funding for gender-transition care, and Title IX athletic definitions have been introduced during the 119th U.S. Congress

A Loser!

You can tell the quality of a person by the promises he keeps.

Now, regarding that diesel deal... do you think his advisor should have said something—maybe that this isn't a good idea because it breaks the law? The Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act (Public Law 117-109) bars the importation of oil from Russia. The law sets certain conditions for the import of oil products.

Under Section 3, the president must:
  1. Consult the relevant House and Senate committees at least 45 days before submitting the required certification.
  2. Certify that Russia has agreed to withdraw its forces and cease hostilities under an agreement accepted by Ukraine, poses no immediate military threat to a NATO member, and recognizes Ukrainians' right to choose their government.
  3. Wait 90 days after submitting the certification before the ban terminates, subject to Congress's power to disapprove
None of these conditions have been met. However, on Friday, the Treasury Department issued General License 135, authorizing certain transactions involving Russian-origin diesel. The question is... was it legal?


President Trump is picking a fight with Senate Republicans right before the midterm elections with his surprise deal to allow Russia to export diesel to the United States.

Four Republican senators — Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), John Curtis (Utah) and Thom Tillis (N.C.) — have already spoken out against the controversial deal between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Many others are likely privately critical of the stunning move, which Trump executed without advanced warning or consultation with Republican senators.

“I think there are a lot more people that are privately critical of it. The question is whether they want to go public with it,” said Vin Weber, a GOP strategist and former member of the House Republican leadership.
This is only "touchy-feely" it offers false hope.

Trump has a history of announcing big projects that never come to fruition.

President Trump has been appearing around the US in the run-up to the midterm elections, announcing economic development projects — from a possible pipeline in Alaska to a steel plant in Iowa to an aluminum smelter in Oklahoma — that he says will transform the country.

"In the real economy, we are blowing it away," he said at a weekend stop in Tennessee.

Trump's message of confidence comes as the ultimate shape of these projects remains far from certain and often directly echoes his pitch at this stage in the 2018 midterm elections, a Yahoo Finance review found.

That election eight years ago was the last time Trump faced midterm voters and also saw him tout projects — most notably a Foxconn electronics manufacturing plant planned for Wisconsin — that turned out to be less than advertised.
Promises or lies?

You remember the steel plant for the Midwest back during the primaries? Do you remember a new steel mill by Mesabi Metallics?
The project has sparked doubts over whether the plant will be built and delivered as promised, given Trump’s record

[...]

Most recently, the Trump administration announced plans to construct the largest steel plant in the US, a $15bn plant in Lee county, Iowa, to be built by India-based Mesabi Metallics.

But the project and claims surrounding it have incited skepticism over whether the plant will be built and delivered as promised, given Trump’s record and the financial history of Mesabi Metallics’ parent company, Essar Global.

The plant had originally been scheduled to be built in Minnesota, a state that usually votes for Democrats. The shift to Iowa – where Republicans are struggling in the midterms – has also attracted attention.

Doug May, who worked for 43 years as a steelworker at a mill in Granite City, Illinois, characterized the announcement as “political pandering” given the timing and how tariffs are hurting Iowa farmers.

“He pulled the same thing in 2018, just before an election, when he announced that $10bn Foxconn project,” May said.

That project, in swing state Wisconsin, failed to produce the jobs Trump and Foxconn had promised.
The people are seeing through his shenanigans.

This Is Treason!

Starlink has been cut for the Ukraine military was using to track missiles and drones. Blinding the Ukraine military!

The development has raised concerns that access to critical American satellite communications could become another source of leverage over Kyiv.

Ukrainian forces reported restrictions on the military use of SpaceX's Starlink satellite communications system on Wednesday, saying an overnight change disrupted several drone missions amid escalating tensions between Kyiv and Washington.

The restrictions appear to affect StarShield, the military-grade version of the satellite communications service, with connectivity reportedly cut when terminals move at speeds exceeding approximately 160 kilometres per hour.

Serhiy Beskrestnov, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on military technology, known as "Flash", said SpaceX had introduced the speed limit overnight without notifying Ukrainian forces.
Snip...
"Our defence forces did not receive a warning about this limitation and this led to the disruption of several missions," Beskrestnov wrote on Telegram.
There is strong hints that Trump was behind it...
Ukrainian volunteer Serhiy Sternenko also reported the disruption, suggesting that SpaceX might have introduced the restrictions at the request of US President Donald Trump's administration.

There is, however, no independent evidence that the White House ordered the change, and the reason for the reported restrictions remains unclear.
If this is true then Trump purposely cause deaths for his oil deal... that is criminal! It goes against Congress!

The Daughter of the American Revolution!


The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) voted Saturday to disband its Martha Laird Chapter in Texas that fought to bar transgender women from joining the historic organization, citing violations of its national bylaws.

In a letter to chapter members, DAR Organizing Secretary General Marguerite Hogan Fritsch announced that the National Board of Management had approved the chapter’s dissolution by a two-thirds majority vote.

“On October 10, 2026, at the meeting of the National Board of Management of the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution a resolution passed by two-thirds majority vote to disband the Martha Laird Chapter, NSDAR,” Fritsch said in the letter. “The actions of the chapter have been found in violation of Article XIX, Section 4 of the Bylaws of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution,” the letter continued.

[...]

 “The National Board of Management voted on October 10 to disband the Martha Laird Chapter in Texas after finding that chapter officers had used the chapter’s name, leadership positions, communications, and governance processes to further the goals of a separate advocacy organization,” the group told Fox News Digital. “The Board determined that it was this use of chapter authority and resources – not the views being advocated – that constituted conduct discrediting the National Society under Article XIX, Section 4 of the National Bylaws.”
Boy that was a fancy two step... the chapter was struck from the DAR because they aligned with an anti-trans organization... not the fact that it was anti-trans.
 “The Board’s decision was not based on the chapter’s or its members’ views concerning membership eligibility, their efforts to propose changes to the National Bylaws, or their right to advocate for changes in National Society governance,” the statement continued.
From that statement it seems they are saying if you don't like trans members... then bring it up at the DAR Board meeting, and they also pointed out that the members approved of adding trans members.

Back in July...
“I am one of those trans daughters,” said one member. “Thank you so very much for being such steadfast allies.”

At their annual Continental Congress gathering last week, the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) rejected a proposal to define trans women out of membership in the organization.  

The vote was the culmination of a two-year battle among members over who does and doesn’t qualify as a “daughter” in the American lineage society.
Of course the Republicans are hoping mad! Two of them introduced bills in Congress!

Introduced July 15, 2026, by Representative Ben Cline (Republican, Virginia), with Republican cosponsors. It would amend the DAR's federal charter to impose a sex-based membership eligibility requirement. The bill was referred to the House Judiciary Committee




Introduced July 28, 2026, by Senator Marsha Blackburn (Republican, Tennessee), alongside Senators Katie Britt, Mike Lee, Tommy Tuberville and Kevin Cramer. It would similarly amend the DAR's federal charter to restrict eligibility. It was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Ukraine just took out Russian data centers, and boy, did it hurt Russia! The question is… did Trump learn a lesson?
Info.ro

12 October 2026,


Attacks attributed to Ukraine against data centers in Russia may have reduced the activity of bots connected to Yandex infrastructure by more than 99%, with effects observed on social media in the United States and Europe. The incident occurred on Sunday, amid political tensions ahead of the U.S. congressional elections.

Three major data centers were hit, according to information cited by Le Parisien: first in Sasovo, in the Ryazan region, then in the Kaluga region and, finally, in the Vladimir region, east of Moscow. The infrastructure was used by Yandex, Russia’s leading provider of online and cloud services.

The company announced that the Vladimir data center was damaged in a drone attack and that operations were disrupted. Cloudflare subsequently reported a decline of more than 99% in bot activity originating from Yandex infrastructure compared with the previous week.
Hello? Donald? Are you listening? Your pal Putin can’t influence our elections… you’re on your own!

Meduza.io writes….

Overnight on October 8, Ukrainian forces struck Yandex’s data center in Sasovo, in Russia’s Ryazan region, with drones, causing a fire. No one was injured, but the data center temporarily shut down completely. This disrupted some of Yandex’s own services, as well as those of companies that used the tech giant’s infrastructure in Sasovo.

[…]

Data centers can withstand a temporary power outage thanks to their own diesel generators, the loss of an individual communications link thanks to connections to multiple telecom providers, and even a small fire thanks to automatic fire suppression systems. But, like online retailers’ warehouses, they have proved defenseless against drone strikes. Unless, of course, they are housed in former Cold War shelters — Europe has several such data centers.
Hey folks, this also affects you… all the stuff you have on the cloud could go poof! In a fraction of a second. Gone!
The world is getting a break from Russian bots thanks to Kyiv.
Tom’s Hardware
By Jowi Morales

Russian bot traffic has dropped dramatically in the past few days after Ukraine knocked out Yandex’s biggest data centers, with a third attack happening last night. Cloudflare reports that bot traffic from the Yandex network has dropped to just 0.4% of the maximum number of HTTP requests recorded in the past two weeks. It initially dropped to around 57% on Oct. 8, which happened when Ukraine hit a Yandex data center housing two supercomputers in Sasovo, Russia, located around 195 miles to the southeast of the Kremlin. A second, bigger Yandex campus in Kaluga, about 220 miles to the west of Sasovo, was knocked offline yesterday.

These attacks are apparently Ukraine’s response to Moscow’s strikes on its own data centers, some of which resulted in the outage of some of the most popular piracy websites.
So this is Russia’s Google… imagine if Google got taken out? Tom’s Hardware noted that these sites housed:
    • State-sponsored "bot farms" & disinformation operations
    • High-performance supercomputers & AI models
    • Dual-use industrial & military tech
Did Hegseth and Trump learn anything from this?

We used to think warfare meant lines drawn on a map; tanks on land, warships at sea, fighter jets in the air. That’s traditional, symmetric warfare, where the side with the bigger budget and the heavier hardware usually wins. But asymmetric warfare flipped the board upside down.

There are no frontlines anymore. The battlefield is everywhere—and the ultimate weapon isn't a billion-dollar stealth fighter. It’s a $20,000 drone taking out a multi-million-dollar server farm.
I am sure that the Ayatollahs are stroking their beads over this.

So can a Unc learn new things?

Beyond Christian Nationalist!

Hyper-masculine content is the far right's new elixir.

From Hesgeth check soldier's testosterone levels to Baron Trump becoming friends with podcasters online who push... "manosphere".
A group of Reformed pastors and influencers has wedded old-school segregationist theology with the hypermasculinity of the manosphere and the savvy of the attention economy to preach and sell white supremacy, antisemitism and patriarchy to angry young men. Its audience is small but growing, and their movement has ties to powerful religious and political figures.

Michael Spangler does not look like a white supremacist and antisemite.

He has no visible tattoos, no shaven head, no black overcoat or jackboots. No hood, no Confederate flag and no Nazi images appear in the background as he sits in front of a screen for a recent Zoom interview.

Instead, the soft-spoken Christian school teacher and pastor of Piedmont Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, sporting a neatly trimmed beard, was dressed in a charcoal suit and sat in front of a fish tank that seemed straight off the set of Pixar’s “Finding Nemo.”

Then he began talking about Jews. And a broad smile broke across his face. 

“You’re asking if I oppose the Jews who murdered Christ?” said Spangler as he paraphrased a verse from the Apostle Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians, which he says labels Jews as “the enemies of God and all men.”

“We need to consider them and treat them accordingly.”

A segregationist and “race realist” whose start-up church, which has a handful of families, bars Black people out of fear of “harmful race-mixing,” Spangler is one of a small but growing group of pastors and internet influencers who openly embrace racist and antisemitic views, casting them as true Christian ideas.
These are the extremists of the extremists.

Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump, has long been something of an enigma. At 19 years old and a student at New York University, Barron has managed to keep a remarkably low profile compared to his older siblings, shunning social media, business ventures, and the political spotlight—at least until recently. But a series of revelations over the past week have pulled him into the public eye, painting a strikingly different portrait of the young Trump than many may have expected.

According to a December 10, 2025 report by The New York Times, Barron Trump has been engaging in private Zoom conversations with Andrew Tate, the controversial influencer and self-styled manosphere leader who has been accused of sex trafficking, rape, and other crimes in Romania. Tate and his brother Tristan were, until earlier this year, prohibited from leaving Romania as authorities investigated allegations that they pressured women into pornography and other illicit activities. The Times further reports that the Trump administration played a role in securing the Tate brothers' freedom earlier in 2025, a move that has raised eyebrows and sparked debate about the intersection of power, politics, and celebrity influence.

WOODWARD: Bob, you’ve recently published a story with a very provocative title, “The Rise of the Jim Crow Theobros.” First of all, what is a theobro?

SMIETANA: Sure. There’s a kind of subset of evangelical pastors. They’re known for their beards and their dark suits and their very serious demeanor. They’re mostly Calvinists or part of what it’s called the Reformed Church.

WOODWARD: Okay.

SMIETANA: So they believe in things like predestination, and they’re very concerned that men should be in charge of both the household and the church. There’s a bit of a stereotype, you know, the nickname theobro. It’s like bros who are into theology.

WOODWARD: So what turns a regular theobro into a Jim Crow theobro?

SMIETANA: So they’re followers of John Calvin, who’s one of the reformers. Calvin was French, but he was known for a couple things: his work on predestination, so that God predestines some people to be saved and some people to be damned, his idea that, you know, the sovereignty of God, that God’s in charge of everything. And for these folks, there’s this kind of idea that men should be in charge. It’s called complementarianism sometimes. Part of what they are is a response to nondenominational Christianity, which kind of downplays theology. There’s a whole group of people who studied John Calvin, who was their first exposure to really serious theology, and they became part of this reformed movement.
So this is all party of the "Woman's place is in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant." anti-LGBTQ+, anti-foreigners, and anti-non-Christians. Only fire and brimstone religions are allowed. They think that only men should vote.

People who want to turn us into a Christian Afghanistan. In other words into a fascist theocracy.

Bucks County, USA examines our political divisions and finds very fine people on both sides.
Slate
By Sam Adams
Sept 21, 2026


Philadelphia’s collar counties are some of the most sought-after real estate in American politics, the swingingest part of a critical swing state. And Bucks County, which sprawls northward along the New Jersey border, is the most evenly divided of them all. In 2024, the county cast more than 400,000 votes for president; Donald Trump won by fewer than 300. So it was a shock even to some locals when the Bucks County school board took a massive turn to the right in 2021, with a newly radicalized Republican majority pulling books from school libraries and banning pride flags and other symbols of support from the classroom. It must have seemed like the perfect spot for Barry Levinson and Robert May to set a five-episode docuseries on the political polarization of America, centered on the friendship between two high school girls whose parents hold vastly different political views.

[...]

Where Levinson and May get into trouble is in treating those epithets as equivalent, as if bigot and transphobe were merely unkind insults, out of bounds no matter how extreme the views of the people they’re describing. Donte King, the Black father of a young daughter, recalls the pain that flooded into his face when his daughter innocently repeated a racist joke she’d heard from a classmate, and Lily Freeman, a trans high school senior, relates the physical and mental abuse she’s suffered at school. But like the deaths that prompted the COVID closures in the first place, their injuries are minimized or simply denied by enraged conservatives who’ve only just cottoned on to what their kids are learning in school.

Extortion!

The man who calls himself... “The Dealmaker” has just bombed out royally! And now he’s resorting to extortion to get his way!


The Trump administration has warned Ukraine and allies in Europe that the US could suspend intelligence sharing and European purchases of US weapons for Ukraine if Kyiv does not halt its deep strikes on Russian energy facilities, two European officials told CNN.

The warnings from the State Department and the Pentagon were sent over the weekend to officials in Ukraine and Europe, including communications from the US military directly to Ukrainian commanders.

Another source familiar with the matter said the US threatened to cut intelligence sharing.
This has Republicans in Congress hopping mad!
Trump has long blamed the rise in global diesel prices on the Ukraine-Russia war and demanded that both sides halt attacks on energy facilities. Those high prices have also been exacerbated by the US' war with Iran.
Yep, blame everyone else for his ineptitude! And he’s really, really pissed off the Republicans because they just passed a law that made the trade illegal! And Trump even signed it into law! The Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, signed by Trump on September 18, 2026. And now he does this!


President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russia will not ​supply its diesel to global energy markets ‌until sanctions against Moscow are lifted.

Speaking at the Valdai Forum of international Russia experts in Moscow, Putin said that ​Ukraine had "partially achieved its objectives" with strikes ​on Russian oil refineries that he said had ⁠cost Russia 1% of its gross domestic product.
Meanwhile, across the pond, Trump is quaking in his boots over the price of diesel and blaming everyone but himself! We know what's driving prices higher: Trump made a disastrous decision and invaded Iran! So much for “The Dealmaker”! He created the mess and now wants everyone else to clean it up!

Why did we go to war with Iran? Trump needed a diversion. Hegseth wanted to bring about the “End Times,” and Israel wanted a sucker to do its dirty work for it.



Oil! The Life Blood.

The whole thing is a farce. A publicity stunt.

The U.S. consumes roughly 3.8 to 4.0 million barrels of distillate fuel oil (diesel) per day. The initial Russian shipment of 300,000 metric tons... approximately 2.25 million barrels, will last us roughly 14 to 15 hours.

The remaining 11.25 million barrels will last about 3 days.

This is nothing more than a stunt to influence the election and make it sound like he’s taking action!
