  • IMSI spoofing is a product of wireless telephony being an ancient (way-pre-internet) technology, and we’re long in an era where law enforcement (or in this case law-enforcement coded) investigators don’t have to obey laws, such as assuring due process, and unreasonable searches disqualifying evidence. Instead they’re hunting political enemies, and every prisoner of the United States is now a political prisoner.

    It also means we don’t have to obey the law, and can start using all-frequency jammers in and around protests and ICE actions to level the playing field. (It will also interfere with regular infrastructure, but it’s not like ICE or the current regime gives half a fuck about that.

    All-frequency jammers are older tech and easier to build than IMSI spoofers, and are highly illegal since so much of our commerce and communications depend on radio. But the current FTC has also been captured and is failing to do its job.

    Any Amateur Radio enthusiast will know how to make a jammer. And current battery technology would assure you could make a handful that are portable and powerful enough to shut down blocks and blocks of municipal communication. This is playing pretty hardball, but then ICE isn’t playing by the rules.




  • There are pretty sex offenders and ugly ones in every generation. Since US society used sexuality as a device of control the way dangerous cults do, we produce a lot kids who think human beings only have sex through coercion or opportunistic vulnerability (e.g. drunk girls at parties.)

    So it makes for a lot of potential sex offenders.

    Maybe some day we’ll toss abstinence only sex ed into a blast furnace and start teaching kids about consent.

    But then we’ll realize that click-wrapped TOS on our devices and hardware are bad-faith contracts we’re coerced to agree to. And that just wouldn’t do for our shadowy capitalist masters.


  • Three of them are boomers who argued that spousal rape is not a crime (a controvery in the 1970s, when NAMBLA was active and child marriage wasn’t given a second thought) and the other one is trying super hard to be literal Himmler (though he’s earning enough Heydrich points to break the machine).

    Observe that this very same demographic is still trying to hold onto power as they lose their faculties.


  • I think that’s why Epstein suffered an unfortunate prison accident. Some very vippy VIPs are in the list.

    I didn’t think Epstein kept a list, rather I figured a multinational cadre of investigations bureaus uncovered paper trails linking VIPs by the dozens and Epstein (and his parties of trafficked children) and that is the alleged list.

    Since the US DoJ and DHS are captured, it’s up to the rest of the international community to see justice done. And since King Fucking Charles has had proximity with Epstein, its awkward for the industrialized world.

    Dirt on Charles would be enough to launch an army of ninjas and fixers, alone. And since his connection with Epstein has been white washed, that gives cover to anyone else also connected to Epstein that would be awkward to the First World (the industrialislzed western bloc).






  • In psychology, it’s called attitude polarization, where we ignore data that conflicts with an ideology while accepting data that confirms it. It’s a known common human bias.

    Scientists train themselves to accept new data as challenging old presumptions (that maybe the old model is false, or simplistic and some unconsidered noise is affecting observed data)… at least when they’re doing real science. Failure to do so, and to cling to older models, is how old dudes get tagged as hidebound reactionaries. And even Einstein couldn’t square his feelings regarding Heisenberg probability models of quantum dynamics.







  • New parties are useless at the federal level so long as elections are First-Past-The-Post. Even the Ross Perot’s Reform Party in 1992 and 1996 only served as a spoiler for the Republican party, and his was an immensely strong attempt at forming a new party, featuring a reasoned platform which Perot showcased with charts every night on television.

    This is why Musk’s America party is laughable, even if he really, really meant it, and offered a platform of sound governance.

    While Sanders caucuses with the Democratic party, and they make him sit at the kids’ table with AOC and the other Socialist Democrats, he has been able to get a lot of legislation in or blocked with skilled use of Senate procedure.

    But the current situation is well beyond even his powers of procedural mischief. We can’t rely on officials or left-wing news media to save the US from oligarchy and eventually monarchy.

    Violent or non-violent, we’ll have to do it ourselves, and it’s almost certain that if we pressure them nonviolently (say with massive demonstrations or with a general strike), then Trump will try to do January 6th once again, probably with more guns and explosives. He’ll certainly bring out his ICE Stormtroopers (now in fancy armor) and try to invoke the military.

    So we need to expect a fight, and preferably do what the lords did with John of England, make it super clear that he is out-manned and out-armed and will be given no quarter, if it comes down to violence. (Even the Magna Carta took a few tries)

    27+ dead little girls at Camp Mystic has shown us it’s ugly already, but non-violence makes it more difficult for bystanders to dismiss the resistance as terrorists. (FOX News, etc. will paint us as terrorists anyway.)

    I don’t know how we get to an organized general strike at speed (usually it takes years, and we don’t have years), and there are groups like indivisible that are trying. I don’t know if it’s enough, especially once ICE gets its massive infusion of equipment, manpower and fancy trenchcoats.



  • When assessing the degree and quality of liberty in a country, one of the factors considered in academic political science is the requirement of personal identification by law enforcement. It [used] to be a trope of Hollywood cinema that takes place in the Eastern Bloc (Warsaw Pact countries) that ordinary citizens and obvious tourists were routinely harassed by law enforcement for their papers, a stark reminder that here in the states you can even cross state lines without identifying yourself.

    It’s getting more interesting as law enforcement is pre-emptively collecting biometric data on school kids and other vulnerable demographics.

    Currently wending through state courts is the controversy of using biometric data to identify suspects, which may be regarded as an [unreasonable] search from which we (all, citizens or otherwise) are supposed to be protected, according to the fourth amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

    In this specific incident, the NYPD is notoriously racist and aggressive, so this may be contempt of cop while black As the adage goes, you can beat the rap but you can’t beat the ride. This assures these young men will have a bad week regardless of their guilt of any wrongdoing.
