I’ve come back to this article over the years because it was such a revealing read when i first encountered it. BOOM went my brain 🤯

“The Long Con” isn’t about money … It’s about IDENTITY.

The rational stand amazed by what to us seems like gullibility in the extreme. But, being intelligent isn’t the goal. BELONGING is the goal. Which explains the #conservative nee’ #MAGA imperviousness to shame. The OTHER is shameful. We, the righteous, can do no wrong … even while dripping with lies.

Because the lies are the point. To acknowledge them as truth is to be initiated into the club.

**Heuristic vulnerabilities are systematic errors in judgment resulting from the mind’s reliance on mental shortcuts (heuristics) to make fast, efficient decisions under uncertainty. While these “rules of thumb” are adaptive and save cognitive energy, they often lead to suboptimal, irrational, or biased decisions by ignoring critical information.

Key heuristic vulnerabilities include:

Availability Heuristic: People overestimate the probability of events that are easily remembered, such as vivid media reports or recent experiences, rather than relying on statistical evidence.

Representativeness Heuristic: Individuals categorize people or situations based on how closely they resemble a mental prototype, often ignoring base rates and statistical probabilities.

Anchoring and Adjustment: A heavy reliance on the first piece of information received (the “anchor”) when making decisions, with insufficient adjustments for subsequent information.

Confirmation Bias: The tendency to seek, interpret, and focus on information that confirms existing beliefs while ignoring contradictory evidence.

Affect Heuristic: Allowing current emotions, moods, or “gut feelings” to dictate decisions, particularly in risk assessment (e.g., perceiving high-benefit items as low-risk).

Fundamental Attribution Error: A tendency to attribute others’ behaviors to internal, personality-based factors rather than situational factors.

Satisficing: Selecting the first option that meets a minimum threshold of criteria rather than spending time to find the optimal solution. **

Without being educationally steeped in these expoitations, everyone just rolls their eyes and thinks “Yeah, that doesn’t apply to me. I’m smarter than that.” Which, in itself is the “fundamental attribution error” heuristic at play.

One can just assume that any person who isn’t willing to acknowledge the foregoing has, as Zach de la Rocha put it so succinctly “A bullet in their head.”

#Cops Lie.

Every lawyer in the U.S. right now should be arguing "Giglio" evidence against #DHS #BorderPatrol and #ICE.

In Giglio vs. United states (1972), the prosecution failed to disclose that it promised a key witness immunity from prosecution in exchange for testimony against Giglio.

#SCOTUS ruled evidence of the agreement was relevant to the witness’ credibility. In a nutshell, if the witnesses can't be believed, their testimony is worthless.

NOBODY in ICE DHS or Border Patrol can be trusted to tell the #truth and every juror knows it today!

BREAKING: A new video out of Minneapolis shows the truth #ICE ...

2026-01-18T16:59:25Z

BREAKING: A new video out of Minneapolis shows the truth #ICE doesn’t want you to see… compliance does not protect you.

In this video, ICE agents pull up to a vehicle and immediately demand the driver’s ID.
The man calmly asks the most basic, #LegallyProtected question: “Why am I being pulled over?”

They never answer… because they don’t have a legal reason to stop him.

Even so, the man begins to retrieve his ID anyway.

An #agent then orders him to turn off the vehicle. The driver says, “No problem, sir, I’ll get out.”

The agent refuses, then immediately changes commands again: “I need to see your ID.”

Suddenly, an agent on the passenger side pounds on the window. Then he strikes it with a hard object, clearly threatening to break it.

At the same time, the driver-side agent again demands the ID.

This is not confusion. This is intentional command overload… a tactic used to manufacture “noncompliance” so force can be justified.

ICE’s own training materials explicitly state:

“Noncompliance or refusal to cooperate with officer commands, without fighting back, does NOT violate 18 U.S.C. § 111.”

In plain English: not immediately obeying commands is NOT a crime.

And here’s the key legal issue:

Unless agents have:
• a valid arrest warrant, or
• probable cause that a specific crime has been committed

they cannot:
• use force
• break windows
• issue violent threats
• detain or arrest someone

#ProbableCause
means specific, articulable facts that would make a reasonable officer believe a crime occurred… not vibes, not attitude, not silence, not filming, not asking questions.

Back in the video, the passenger-side agent escalates further, shouting:
“First time I ask you to roll your window down, you do it.”

The driver responds:
“Are you in danger, sir? Are you escalating this?”

The agent replies:
“I don’t know. Hands up.”

Despite the driver repeatedly attempting to comply and hand over ID, agents continue shouting conflicting commands.

At one point, the agent orders the driver to “talk to the original agent”… which is exactly what the driver was doing before the window-smashing threat.

Then the man asks, “Are you feeling unsafe or uneasy?”

The agent responds, “I don’t know, man.” while standing on the passenger side of the car, smirking.

The driver finally says what anyone would say surrounded by armed men:
“How many guns do I have around me? I need you to calm down. I’m asking him to stop banging on my car. Is that too much?”

He even offers… again… to step out of the vehicle.

This is not law enforcement. This is intimidation fishing for an excuse.

No probable cause.
No warrant.
No lawful basis for force.

And yet, the escalation came entirely from the agents.

This video proves something chilling: you can comply, stay calm, ask lawful questions… and still be threatened with violence.

So, the question isn’t “Why didn’t he just comply?”

The question is how many people have already been assaulted under this exact playbook… and how many more will be, before this stops?

BREAKING: #ICE agents have, once again, trampled the 4th ...

2026-01-18T16:52:43Z

BREAKING: #ICE agents have, once again, trampled the 4th Amendment… illegally breaking down a door and storming into another family home with assault rifles drawn, while children were inside, detaining 6 people, including a 12-year-old boy, without a warrant.
And it gets worse.

On Thursday, ICE raided a home in St. Paul, #Minnesota, telling residents this was part of a narcotics investigation… not #immigration. But neighbors are saying that’s BS.

A neighbor who had his outdoor camera rolling, says someone delivered a package to the house just minutes before the raid. According to the video, federal agents told the residents there were drugs inside, and if no one claimed the package, they’d take everyone in the house. Not suspicious at all…

And the agents also had no warrant…

After smashing the door, ICE claimed they had a search warrant, but never showed it… even after being asked to see it. They searched every room with rifles drawn, handcuffed all residents, including the 12-year-old boy, and paraded them down the street. Every adult had a valid work permit and state ID, but, agents only left a woman and her infant behind.

And here’s the kicker:

Even though ICE said this was about drugs, not immigration, they still took the 12-year-old boy, transporting him to an immigration center in San Antonio, Texas in less than 24 hours.

And, to make this all even more illegal… A warrant was dropped off THE NEXT DAY, claiming to be from a state court, but:

• It doesn’t match official Ramsey County #warrant formats
• Has no case number or file stamp
• No record of filing exists (though filing can sometimes be delayed)

So, the questions become:

Did ICE falsify a warrant after illegally entering the home? Did they plant drugs to justify this raid? And most importantly… what did #DHS do with a 12-year-old boy they weren’t supposed to touch?

This isn’t law enforcement. This is federal #kidnapping, #trafficking, intimidation, and #terror.

A government agency stormed a home, handcuffed children, and transported a minor across state lines… all without a real warrant at the time of the arrest, or any legal justification.

If this can happen to one family in broad daylight, it can happen to anyone.

The #Constitution, your rights, and your #children mean nothing to them.

Sent dispute to bank/visa.

Bank disputes my dispute and rejects. Just got off the phone to learn the person who reviewed my dispute lied about the answers I provided in their dispute form as cause to reject the dispute.

Now, they've breached the state consumer protection act.

They're under threat of litigation if they don't return the money, which, is no idle threat.

Why would I go to these lengths over $44.00?

Because I'm SICK AND FUCKING TIRED of living in a #corporate dystopia and will drag the money out of them NO MATTER WHAT!!! Have fun paying your attorney's thousands of dollars over a $44.00 dispute because your corporate policy is to screw over your own clients to enrich your shareholders.

2025-11-11T05:42:54Z

The author makes the observation that #AI is inverting the #AttentionEconomy because we no longer have to give attention to produce quality.

My take?
I tooted the other day that, if you'd never seen a humanoid robot, but suddenly did one day walking down the street, your first human impulse would be to destroy it. And, that impulse would be correct.

That's basically the "uncanny valley" at work.

The same principal holds true for AI.

Our attention is being unconsciously redirected from detecting quality -- to constant threat detection.

We've left the attention economy and are entering the #PTSD_Economy.

You feel it, don't you?
The ever present technological threat. You can't escape if you choose to live on any modern terms.

Threats to our existence from tech and the tech overlords shoving it down our throats.

Capitalism creates incredible wealth for a tiny minority, who are free to destroy the source of the wealth in their attempts to monopolize it, and then are free to pick up camp and move to destroy the next greenest pasture.

From the article:
**They have chased growth and scale at all costs, and largely, they’ve won. The data-center build-out is the ultimate culmination of that chase: the pursuit of scale for scale itself. In all scenarios, the outcome seems only to be real, painful disruption for the rest of us.*

The reason great civilizations fall is that, once an elite class is established, said class can always be relied upon to try and shape reality to their advantage, rather than reckon with reality on it's own terms.

Inevitably, reality catches up and steamrolls the elites who have led their civilizations down a fairy tail reality.

America has become an elite fairy tale.

Yup. I agree with that. He’s a little short on predicting the synthesis though.

But it’s obvious.

Their new thesis is a world governed by neonaziliberalist technocratic elite.

The new antithesis is an economics of sustainability that embraces degrowth.

The synthesis is the human evolution of a 4th land ethic as predicted by Aldo Leopold.

BIG by Matt Stoller (npub12vy…wnly) on the egg mess.

TLDR?

Takeaway — the avian flu is not responsible for increased prices.
Once again, the culprit is corporate #monopoly.

The avian flu is just an excuse.
When industry gets monopolized, the monopolizers will seize upon any excuse to jack prices through the roof.

From the article:
** Cal-Maine Foods — the largest egg producer and the only one that publishes its financial data as a publicly traded company — has been making more money than ever. It’s annual gross profits in the past three years have floated between 3 and 6 times what it used to earn before the avian flu epidemic started — breaking $1 billion for the first time in the company’s history. All of this extra profit is coming from higher selling prices, which have been earning Cal-Maine unprecedented 50-170 percent margins over farm production costs per dozen. Taking Cal-Maine as the “bellwether” for the industry’s largest firms — as people in the egg business do — we can be pretty confident that the other large egg producers are also raking in profits off the relatively small dip in egg production.**

Post covid inflation??? Yeah, it’s 99% price gouging.

To those wondering when the #Democrat pushback will come, it won't.

Their strategy is "we told you so."
The sad thing is it will likely work.

I predict Trump will lose his #House and #Senate majorities after the #midterms ... then they'll successfully impeach him.

Then we'll go back to "fascist lite" business as usual #WallStreet boot licking.

The way to prevent business as usual is to PRIMARY the incumbent democrats.

That is what made the #TeaParty so wildly effective in shifting this country to the so hard to the right.

Primary the business as usual democrats. Take. Them. Out.

And, the emails are coming out as anything from hr1@opm.gov to hr18@opm.gov.

So, maybe, just to be sure, craft an email for all 19 email addresses and set it to auto-send every hour.

But, before you send them off, we do have one little suggestion.

On your next go at creating humans, could you please see to turning up the long term reward mechanism setting and turning down the short term reward mechanism setting.

That'd be great.
