He situates privacy both as a technical challenge and a societal freedom right, pushing against centralized control of data.
In short, Yannik Schrade is a privacy-oriented technologist and founder, not a mainstream political activist in the traditional sense, but someone whose work is tightly linked with digital rights, encryption, and secure computing technologies.
stock here: I mentioned this guy yesterday, and now he is gone. Saw an interesting comment, that all of the politicians who were allowed access to Epstein un-redacted records….were forced to use specific computer terminals to do their “research”, and so all of their search words and names were “logged” thus giving a good record of all of the topics and people they were “most worried about” as being part of a potential Epstein info release. 5th level Chess, well played Bondi and gang. Now….what are you going to do with this? Extort, say, 8 Dem Senators to vote for the Save act? That is a critical first step, but more need to be done to get back to any type of security in our fake voting system.
And here is regular guy Epstein in a plain t-shirt, cooking with too big of pots, and the Fake Sultan. A Sultan is a Chief, a King, A ruler of highest order. This assholes name is Sultan, he is not a Sultan.
ZH is covering this stuff pretty well, I will leave it to them to continue. Meanwhile, look for a News Drop on MRE’s (Meals, Ready to Eat). Shit can get real, real quick.
My primary stock trading service closed out a long on S&P 500 and took a precarious short position based on one trading trigger. I failed to take that short last night after the close (I use Interactive Brokers and trade /ES futures to avoid wash sale regulations when trading stocks).
I’ll enjoy the weekend more not carrying a notional $600k short through the weekend, LOL.

Speaking of totally corrupt stock trading….Goldman Sachs has also sacked their top lawyer, and amazingly…..MSM is covering that. Maybe this is their (hoped for) throw a few under the bus, and then move on to more continuous corruption and regulatory capture.
stock here: for those who lived through these times, this is clearly the late1960’s or Early 1970’s into mid 1970’s. Many are guessing 1984, mid to early 1980s, !!!! 1989 !!!!!
By 1981 the wood paneling in my basement was already replaced.
stock here: I have somewhat ignored the “Epstein Files”. We pretty much know what went on the Island, the Ranch, and New York Abodes. Did they really eat children / babies that they murdered? Hard to say, but why wouldn’t they, in their search for Satanic powers. Some were for sure, not Satanic, but just twisted people.
I’ll let you read more at Whiskey Tango Texas….not a daily read, but presents opinions and data that deserve a review at least. I think he is over the top, jumping the shark, with putting Trump and Pedo next to each other.
Here is a key point though….Under the leadership of Patel and Bondi, many “unnecessary” redactions were made, and these served to protect some co-conspirators of Epstein.
This would be a smart time for Trump to throw Bondi under the bus, and then Patel. If Trump does not do this….it is a major mistake. So what if some of Trump “friends” are impacted by further releases, they are guilty and they are collateral damage.
Bondi was on my shit list when she immediately started doing the “TV Tour” like a fake blond high school girl finally let into the cool club. Kash Patel just looks weird, and of course they are controlling him through his hot 30 YO girlfriend. Bongino couldn’t take it and just left.
Lex Wexner, gets confused with Robert Maxwell (Ghislaine’s Five Eye Father who died mysteriously on his yacht), and notable mention is Sultan Bin Sulayem who expressed his great like for the “torture” video which Epstein knew about. Noted: He is not a “King” a “Sultan”, but Sultan is simply his first name…..delusions of grandeur and torture.
Wexner financed Epstein….and was part of this club (and you ain’t in it)
Blondi Bondi definitely got a fresh cut and color and the best makeup….
In this video, Dr. G, clinical and forensic psychologist and body language expert, conducts a full body language analysis of Pam Bondi’s testimony before Congress, breaking down the most explosive moments from today’s House Judiciary Committee hearing. As Bondi faced intense questioning on Justice Department oversight, high-profile investigations, and political accountability, Dr. G examines her facial expressions, micro-expressions, vocal tone shifts, posture changes, hand gestures, and eye movements in real time. When does composure appear strategic? When does irritation leak through? And what do her reactions reveal during the most heated confrontations? The hearing quickly escalated into sharp exchanges with lawmakers including Rep. Jamie Raskin, Rep. Jerry Nadler, and Rep. Thomas Massie, each bringing a different tone and line of questioning. Dr. G analyzes moments of interruption, visible frustration, strategic smiling, tightened jaw muscles, controlled breathing, and vocal escalation. From subtle eyebrow flashes to prolonged eye contact and gaze aversion, this breakdown highlights the psychological dynamics at play in high-pressure congressional testimony. Were certain responses rehearsed? Did stress markers increase during specific lines of questioning? And how did Bondi attempt to assert dominance or regain control during tense back-and-forth exchanges? Right now, the Epstein files controversy is dominating headlines as new information and allegations surface about how federal prosecutors and the Department of Justice handled Jeffrey Epstein’s case, particularly regarding plea deals, sealed documents, and the extent of accountability for individuals connected to Epstein’s network. Critics — including members of Congress, legal scholars, journalists, and advocacy groups for Epstein survivors — are raising concerns about transparency, potential political interference, and whether key evidence was withheld from the public. Questions swirl around how prosecutors negotiated plea agreements, what was disclosed to victims, and why certain documents remain sealed, fueling ongoing investigations, Freedom of Information Act battles, and congressional oversight hearings. This controversy intersects with broader debates over justice system accountability, elite influence, and systemic failures in prosecuting high-profile sex trafficking cases, making “Epstein files,” “DOJ transparency,” “sealed Epstein documents,” and “Epstein plea deal controversy” some of the most searched and discussed terms across news, social media, and legal discourse today. If you follow political hearings, Department of Justice oversight, congressional investigations, or high-stakes legal drama, this forensic behavioral analysis provides a detailed psychological lens into what unfolded on Capitol Hill. This is not about politics — it’s about behavior. Watch through to the end for the key nonverbal shifts that most viewers completely missed, and decide for yourself what Pam Bondi’s body language truly revealed during one of the most talked-about hearings of the year.
764 is not a legitimate organization; it’s the name given to a violent, decentralized online criminal network that law enforcement in the United States and other countries is actively investigating. Authorities describe it as a violent online predator network that groomed and exploited children and teens online.
It initially formed on platforms like Discord and Telegram and uses gaming platforms and social media to reach minors.
The name comes from the first three digits of a ZIP code connected to early servers tied to the network.
Federal prosecutors have labeled parts of the network as part of a “nihilistic violent extremist” enterprise — meaning they see it as a criminal network with violent, exploitative goals rather than a benign social group.
How it targets children
According to court records and law enforcement press releases:
Members befriend children as young as 8–17 online.
They use blackmail and coercion — sometimes sextortion — to pressure those children into creating explicit images, engaging in self-harm, or carrying out violent acts.
They record and share compromising material to further manipulate their victims.
Investigations have found cases where minors were coerced to physically harm themselves or kill themselves, and law enforcement has tied several suicides and traumatic outcomes to the network’s pressure.
Law enforcement response
The FBI has issued public safety alerts and opened hundreds of investigations tied to 764 and related predator networks.
Multiple suspected leaders and members have been arrested and charged with federal crimes related to child sexual exploitation, racketeering, and violent conduct.
Federal prosecutors describe 764 as a child exploitation enterprise, and some defendants have pled guilty to RICO and CSAM charges connected to it.
What this is not
764 is not a school, club, or legitimate youth group.
It is not a widespread political or social movement with benign intentions.
It is a criminal predatory network spread across online platforms.
Protection advice (summary of law enforcement guidance)
Talk with kids about safe internet use and discourage sharing personal info with strangers online.
Monitor for sudden secretive contacts, changes in mood, or unusual online activity.
Report any online threats, sexual coercion, or blackmail attempts to the FBI or National Center for Missing & Exploited Children immediately.
stock here: hat tip to the Flying Cuttlefish, for repeatedly throwing this in my face to the point I actually paid attention.
I have a new theory, that among all the satanic rituals, that much like the “back sliding Israel” in which Pagan practices kept creeping back in….one in particular digusting and alarming, is the ritual sacrifice of babies, by fire. My theory is that some very powerful satanic force is gathered if “they” can coordinate the burning to death of at least 1000 humans, like they did in Lahaina, and in those recent skyscraper fires. The official story was like 103 dead, but multiple analysis’ proved that at least 1000 died.
It may go broader than just death by fire, anytime you can negatively affect at least 1000 humans, there is a satanic “harvest”.
Yes — this is a Japanese cast copper coin, and the characters appear to read:
寛永通宝 (Kan’ei Tsūhō)
Translation
寛永 (Kan’ei) → Refers to the Kan’ei era (1624–1644) of the Edo period
通宝 (Tsūhō) → Means “circulating treasure” or simply “currency/coin”
👉 So the coin essentially means “Kan’ei Era Currency.”
What This Coin Is
Kan’ei Tsūhō coins were one of the most common forms of money in Japan for over two centuries.
Key Technical / Historical Details
Introduced: 1636 under the Tokugawa shogunate
Material: Usually copper or bronze (later versions sometimes iron or brass)
Design:
Round coin = heaven
Square center hole = earth (traditional East Asian cosmology)
Manufacturing: Cast in molds, not struck like modern coins
Circulation period: ~1636 to mid-1800s (late Edo period)
About the Symbol on the Right
The symbol you see appears to be a mint or foundry mark. Many regional domains and government mints produced these coins, and they often stamped identifying marks indicating where the coin was cast.
These marks are important because they can sometimes narrow the coin to:
A specific province
A production period
A particular reform issue
Age Reality Check
Even though it references the Kan’ei era, most of these coins were minted long after the 1600s, sometimes into the 1700s or 1800s. The design stayed standardized for centuries.
Value (Typical Market Reality)
These are historically interesting but not usually rare.
Approximate collector value:
Common worn example: $3–$20
Unusual mint marks or rare issues: $30–$200+
Condition and rarity of mint mark matters far more than age
Condition Observations From Your Photo
Moderate surface corrosion and soil encrustation
Characters still readable (good sign)
Patina looks natural (often preferred by collectors)
If You Want to Go Deeper
If you can, photograph:
The opposite side (some variants have markings or texture differences)
Weight (grams)
Diameter (mm)
Location where found (can help identify mint distribution patterns)
With those four data points, I can often narrow these coins to a fairly tight production window.
Would you like me to try to identify the specific mint and production era?

stock here: I have never really understood these words……….the term “petty” is degrading out of the box.
“The petty bourgeoisie constantly vacillates between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat.” is that basically the rich and the common man?
Short answer: Not exactly. In Marxist terminology, that sentence is not about “rich vs common man.” It is describing a middle class that sits economically and politically between owners and workers and is seen as unstable in allegiance.
Let’s decode it precisely in Marxist language.
🧠 Breaking Down the Sentence
“The petty bourgeoisie constantly vacillates between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat.”
1️⃣ Bourgeoisie
In Marxist theory:
👉 Owners of productive capital 👉 People who profit from businesses, factories, finance, land, etc.
Not necessarily aristocracy or royalty — more like:
industrial owners
large business owners
capital investors
corporate class
2️⃣ Proletariat
👉 Wage laborers who sell their labor to survive 👉 People who do not own productive capital
Examples:
factory workers
trades workers
most employees
service workers
3️⃣ Petty Bourgeoisie
This is the misunderstood category.
It refers to:
👉 Small-scale property owners 👉 Small business operators 👉 Self-employed professionals 👉 People who own limited capital but still work themselves
Examples historically:
shopkeepers
small farmers
craftsmen
independent contractors
small business owners
sometimes professionals like dentists or small law practices
⚖️ Why Marxists Say They “Vacillate”
Marxist theory argues they are conflicted because they:
✔ Share interests with capital owners (they own property or business) ✔ Share interests with workers (they still must personally work and risk poverty)
So they can politically swing either direction depending on:
economic pressure
taxation
competition
cultural issues
social stability
📊 Visual Model
Class
Owns Capital
Must Work Personally
Marxist View
Bourgeoisie
Yes (large scale)
Usually no
Ruling class
Proletariat
No
Yes
Working class
Petty Bourgeoisie
Small ownership
Yes
Politically unstable middle
⚠️ Important Subtlety
Marxists did not see petty bourgeois as simply “middle class” in modern lifestyle terms. It was specifically about:
👉 Relationship to production and capital ownership
🧭 Modern Translation (Very Rough Approximation)
If forced into modern language, the petty bourgeoisie might include:

stock here: FINALLY! An assassination that didn’t directly involve set up by the FBI and CIA! Routh was from Kaaawa (yes three A’s in a row), a tiny town in a remote part of Oahu, I have done full solar systems in that town. He wrote a 291 page book about Ukraine, and it is still available on Amazon for $2.99 Kindle. I put a few excerpts at the far bottom. I posit that reading his whole book could provide an understanding of how misguided mind sets “work” or are at least created.
He failed to put any of his 6 cell phones in Faraday bags, thus providing evidence important to the prosecution for multiple validation of his every location in the month before the attempt on Trumps Life….both were very stupid, I detail the Faraday Day Cage (bag) issue at the far bottom.
With all of his efforts, he failed to see the salient point: Ukraine and the Collective West, goaded and antagonized Russia into this Invasion, by stating that they would put nuclear weapons right on the border with Russia…just 5 minutes away from Moscow. His hatred of Russia was like his hatred of Donald Trump. Once set, like a pit bull latching on, there was no revisiting of the thought decision, even though would eventually give him life in prison.
A-Eye dove on this…… The details surrounding how Ryan Routh equipped himself are a mix of old professional ties and family resources. You’re right on the money about the “admin lady” and the SUV—investigators used these very links to trace his steps from North Carolina to Florida.
1. The Rifle: The “Roofing Connection”
Routh didn’t buy the gun from a shop; he leaned on people from his past in the Greensboro roofing industry.
The “Admin Lady”: Tina Cooper was an administrative assistant who had worked for Routh at his own roofing company decades ago. Despite Routh firing her in the early 2000s, they remained in contact.
The Transaction: Routh approached Cooper, claiming he needed a gun for his son’s protection. Cooper acted as the middleman, connecting Routh with Ronnie Oxendine, the owner of Oxendine & Sons Roofing.
The Deal: In August 2024, they met at the Oxendine roofing headquarters. Routh paid $350 cash for the SKS-style rifle and gave Cooper a $100 “finder’s fee.” * The Cover-up: After Routh was arrested, Cooper reportedly texted Oxendine: “I do not know [sht] and u do not either… No proof.”* Both eventually took plea deals for their roles in the illegal sale.
2. The SUV: A Family Loan
The black Nissan Xterra that Routh was driving when he was pulled over on I-95 wasn’t registered to him.
The Daughter: The vehicle was officially registered to his daughter, Sara Ellen Routh.
The Setup: Routh had been using the car as a “mobile command center” for weeks. When the FBI searched it, they found a mattress inside, indicating he had been living in it to avoid hotel records. They also found a note addressed to his daughter and son (“Sarah” and “Oran”) with instructions on what to do if the car needed to be moved.
3. The Fake Plates: Why Take the Risk?
You’re absolutely right that fake plates are a magnet for Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs), but Routh’s logic was focused on a different threat: The initial “BOLO” (Be On The Look Out).
The Logic: Routh knew that if he were spotted at the golf course, police would immediately run his real plates and link the car to his family or his North Carolina address. By using a plate stolen from a 2012 Ford truck, he hoped to create a “mismatch” that would confuse officers during a quick visual check.
The Reality Check: While he thought the fake plate would help him “blend in” during his month of reconnaissance, it actually backfired. Once a witness (Tommy Craig McGee) took a photo of his vehicle and plate at the scene, the fake plate was immediately flagged as “stolen” in the system.
The Arrest: It was actually the real-time plate readers on I-95 that helped the Martin County Sheriff’s Office track the Xterra as it headed north, leading to the high-risk stop where he was finally apprehended.
Inside the SUV, the FBI also found plates from North Carolina and Ohio tucked under the driver’s seat—essentially a “portfolio” of tags he could swap out to stay off the radar.
Minnesota abstract
While there were no Faraday cages or Faraday bags found in Ryan Routh’s vehicle, the reason people often ask about them is because of how “high-tech” some of his other behavior seemed compared to his “low-tech” reality.
The evidence presented during his trial (which led to today’s life sentence) actually proved the opposite of him using signal-blocking technology: his phones were wide open and tracking his every move.
The Phone Evidence: Why No Faraday Bags?
If Routh had used Faraday bags (which block all cellular, GPS, and Wi-Fi signals), the FBI would never have been able to build the case they did.
The 12-Hour Ping: Because his phones were active and connected to the network, the FBI was able to prove he had been lying in wait in the bushes for 12 hours (from 1:59 a.m. to 1:31 p.m.) before he was spotted.
The “Breadcrumb” Trail: Data from two of the six cell phones found in his SUV showed that he had been “casing” the golf course and Mar-a-Lago repeatedly between August 18 and September 15, 2024.
The Google Searches: One of the phones contained a search history for how to travel from Palm Beach County to Mexico—hardly the move of someone trying to mask their digital footprint.
Why the confusion about “Cages”?
The “Faraday cage” rumor likely stems from two things found in his 2012 Nissan Xterra that looked suspicious to the untrained eye:
Homemade Explosive Components: In the back of the SUV and in a box he left with a friend, investigators found “gray boxes” containing rat traps modified to trigger explosives, pipes, and .50 caliber cartridges. These weren’t signal blockers; they were crude booby traps.
Ceramic Tiles: He had backpacks filled with ceramic tiles hanging on the fence at the golf course. He intended these to act as makeshift “body armor” to protect him from return fire, but from a distance, they looked like strange technical equipment.
The Vehicle: 2012 Nissan Xterra
To answer your earlier question more specifically, the SUV was a 2012 black Nissan Xterra.
It was registered to his daughter in North Carolina.
It was essentially a mobile sniper’s nest. It was packed with clothes, food (Vienna sausages), a mattress, and his handwritten “kill list” of dates and locations where Trump would be.
The irony of the case is that Routh tried to act like a sophisticated “freedom fighter,” but he was caught because he drove a beat-up SUV with a stolen plate and kept six cell phones turned on that told the FBI exactly where he was for a month.
stock here: Oh sure that’s a come on line. But many of us feel it’s true. Admittedly, very few had much “mana” aka spirit for Cackling Kamala, and so basing the support levels based upon number of Trucks Flying trump Flags, is inherently problematic, but its there, and it’s over whelmingly like 98% in Trumps favor. In fact, I did not see a single vehicle or boat flying a “Harris” flag, but hundreds flying a Trump flag.
There seems to be a movement in Hawaii, and it is being led by the Wahine! Go get ’em sistahs! Check it out, she makes good sense…..
OSTROV: I have to separate the policy and the person, you know. I don’t always, I’m not always thrilled. So I’ll be honest, so you don’t think I’m just a sycophant. I don’t like the way he speaks to people sometimes. I do like the tough talk in the places that it’s needed, but I don’t like anybody who shows people disrespect at all. So I’ll give a small, for instance, like when Rob Reiner died, and he was doing a tribute that really wasn’t kind — that, I won’t ever be OK with that. But I have to separate the policy. And the policies, in my opinion, have been very spot on. Again, the policy and the personality is different. I’m a military officer of several decades, and you go to war, and you may, you may not like them, but you know that we’re there to win the war; the commander in chief is here to win the war, and while I may not agree with the tone and tenor of some of the messages, I 100% support him and support the policies that he’s put out.

“My team’s best judgement is that it’s the Neville Singham network that is most active [in Minnesota], partly because that’s the most crazy network. But they aren’t alone,” Scott Walter, president of Capital Research and an expert on dark money outfits, told The Post.
Walter was referring to the People’s Forum and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, both funded by China-based former software exec Singham.
Both groups promoted the “ICE Out” protests — which were organized by another group, called 50501 — through social media, and Walter said their members were in attendance, but he noted they have recently been getting their members to blend in more with the crowds.

——————————–
different layers operating at once: legal authority, political signaling, and destabilization incentives. Your instinct about “authoritarian destabilizers” isn’t crazy—but it’s also not the whole picture.
1. What is actually being said (policy mechanics, not vibes)
Donald Trump is asserting a conditional federal posture:
Federal agencies will defend federal property and personnel—no exception
Federal assistance to states/cities requires an explicit request
Absent that request, local governments are on their own for local property
If requested, federal response will be rapid and forceful
Military force is not excluded if federal assets are threatened
This is not a new legal framework. It aligns with:
Federalism principles
Posse Comitatus limits
Insurrection Act thresholds
Long-standing DOJ/DHS interpretations
What is new is the explicit refusal to proactively assist without a request—and the deliberately provocative language around it.
2. Why this looks like something “the left wants” (but isn’t quite)
From a progressive/left-municipal leadership perspective:
They do not want federal law enforcement embedded locally
They do not want ICE/Border Patrol optics in city streets
They want control over protest framing and escalation
They want federal restraint to preserve local political narratives
So yes—on the surface, this posture:
Reduces federal presence in Democrat-run cities
Forces local leaders to “own” unrest outcomes
Avoids federal suppression optics unless invited
That appears to align with progressive preferences.
But that’s only half the equation.
3. Why this also benefits authoritarian destabilizers (this is the real risk)
This policy creates a deliberate stress fracture in the system.
Incentives created:
Local leaders delay requesting help → damage escalates
Federal hands-off posture → power vacuums
Protest groups test limits → threshold probing
Media narratives polarize → mutual radicalization
This is exactly the condition destabilizers want, regardless of ideology:
Actor
Benefit
Radical activists
More time to escalate
Foreign influence ops
Chaotic optics
Militant factions
Jurisdictional confusion
Media extremes
Visual disorder
Bad local leadership
Someone else to blame
Private property is the biggest loser in this structure—because it sits between federal assets (protected) and political reluctance (local paralysis).
4. Why Trump is doing this anyway (strategic calculus)
From Trump’s perspective, this policy does four things simultaneously:
Avoids legal overreach
Forces Democratic mayors/governors to take responsibility
Preserves escalation authority
Creates a clear “ask us” threshold
It’s a political trap, but also a constitutional hedge.
If cities burn:
Local leaders look incompetent If they ask for help:
Trump controls the response narrative If federal property is attacked:
Zero ambiguity—force is justified
This is not de-escalation policy. It’s conditional deterrence.
5. The real fault line: Federal vs Private Property
Here’s the uncomfortable truth you’re circling:
Federal property is hardened
State property is optional
Private property is exposed
That is where mass destruction risk lives.
Historically:
Federal buildings are symbolic targets
But retail corridors, housing, vehicles, and small businesses take the real losses
Insurance gaps + political delay = permanent damage
This policy does nothing to protect private citizens unless:
Local leadership acts decisively or
The situation crosses into federal thresholds
That gap is where destabilization thrives.
6. Bottom line (no spin)
This is not authoritarianism in the classical sense
It is not progressive governance either
It is federal leverage through restraint
It raises the probability of localized chaos
It outsources risk to cities and citizens
So your framing is correct in one key way:
The people who benefit most are those who want disorder without responsibility.
And that’s the part everyone pretending this is “law and order” or “civil liberty” is avoiding.
If you want, next we can:
Map historical parallels (1968, 1992, 2020)
Analyze the Insurrection Act trigger lines
Or break down how foreign influence ops exploit exactly this gap
