(Abolish ICE) ICE's alarming plan EXPOSED as Israel-made mass surveillance tool (apps) uncovered, so all smartphones will become "Trump Phones," just like the free "Obama phones" were used to legally track, spy, and surveil subjects. You'll be on a list, and you won't even remember what "privacy" once meant...and you'll love it. All hail, King Trump, our savior hypocrite!
(More Perfect Union) I worked at Palantir (based on Middle Earth's Palantรญr): the tech company reshaping reality. Alex Karp leaks the truth. Elon Musk's PayPal Mafia (Peter Thiel, LinkedIn's Reid Hoffman)...
What a rip-off, corporate @$#%$^&, this company's about to sell our data!
23andMe said we were Jewish (less than 1%), very Irish, Mexican, and who knows what -- Denisovan, Neanderthal, Ainu, Native American, Scandinavian, ET, surely there's got to be at least a drop of Sami in there. We were hoping for Basque and Hopi, something Iberian, Dravidian-Aryan, and Anasazi, but no such luck. Now the whole world is going to know it!
23andMe files for bankruptcy as CEO Anne Wojcicki resigns. What will happen to everyone's DNA samples and resultant data?
As another corporation flops or allows our data to be breeched before flopping, Americans are in danger of unwanted disclosures. Ever since the medical industry has been going online, hackers have been having at our data and selling it on the Web (mostly the Dark Web). What does the government do? Pass a report along to DHS, FBI, CIA, NSC, NSA? No, mostly it just sends records to Mormons, who are keen to store the records inside a hollowed-out mountain.
That's what ancestry.com is all about or at least how it started. Someone has to hold on to those records, and it can't just be the Catholic Church and its system of official baptisms. What to do as 1984 is upon us? Big Brother, having been watching, will upload the records to AI ("Hal" 2001 a Space Odyssey) to sort out. Surely, Dave will figure it out. It's not like AI can read lips. Can it?
California Attorney General Rob Bonta, what's going on? Bonta says update profiles and delete data, requesting samples be destroyed before they fall into the hands of a new buyer with a new privacy policy.

Poor Israel needs a pause to rearm, refuel, restock secret weapons, and get Biden administration limitations off its back. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss: Trump was not the peace candidate. He is as much about popular wars as any Washington insider. The warmongers just have to point out what's in it for him. Some tourist hotels in the Holy Land? Those Gazans must die! Some Trump, Inc. merch in the Middle East? Bomb any country you like, Bibi Baby! We celebrate peace in any form, but this is the worst form, a PR (public relations) ploy to justify further genocidal war, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and American imperialism with a proxy. Ashkenazi Jews claiming their God-granted land in a faraway place their great grandparents claimed? That's good enough for any Christian Zionist to fund war and more war, arm a holocaust and extermination, take sides against humans. Will no one be regaining their senses? Is no one interested in looking at the truth? Let's let Jeremy Scahill (DropSiteNews.com) explain it to the masses; this is how modern war is conducted, a psyops in addition to death from the sky, weakening the target then bombing it out of existence. (Let's all celebrate a day of peace in the streets, and mourn the rest of the year with our heads down, saying nothing to question the motives of our government and its proxies).
Gaza ceasefire: Daniel Levy, Muhammad Shehada, Jeremy Scahill on Trump's role and Palestine's future
(Democracy Now!) Jan. 16, 2025: Support work: democracynow.org/donate.
Roundtable on the planned Gaza ceasefire with former Israeli peace negotiator Daniel Levy of the U.S./Middle East Project, Gazan analyst Muhammad Shehada of the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor and journalist Jeremy Scahill of _Drop Site News_.
The discussion centers on how incoming Pres. Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff pressured Israel to accept the deal and what it reveals about the outgoing [Pres. Genocide Joe] Biden administration's refusal to use its own leverage for the same end.
"Joe Biden could have ended this long ago," and that he chose not to "exposes the utter moral rot that existed within the Biden White House," says Jeremy Scahill.
Still, guests say it's unlikely that the ceasefire announcement signifies true relief for Palestinians beset by Israel's genocidal violence.
Levy says Netanyahu is already working to renege on [go back on, renegotiate, spoil, upset, cancel] the deal and continue an ethnic cleansing and genocidal holocaust (imperial extermination) that has helped him retain his political power and safety from imprisonment for corruption as he is being prosecuted in Israeli courts, while Shehada warns that all signs point to the continued subjugation of the Occupied Palestinian Territories in conditions "more painful than the war."

Trump to buy Greenland, bromance with Elon on the rocks, Zuckerberg kisses ring
(Jimmy Kimmel Live) Jan. 7, 2025: It is very windy and smoky here in Los Angeles, Jimmy got an on-the-scene weather report from Guillermo this morning, Cher is on the show tonight, Trump gave a double-doozy of a press conference today from Mar-a-Lago where he covered all the big issues from rebranding the ocean to windmills to water pressure, he suggested that he might buy Greenland and sent his son Don Jr. to check it out, Lara Trump is busy ruining Tom Petty songs, Hunter Biden and Flavor Flav hung out at a White House gathering for digital creators, the bromance between Trump and Elon Musk appears to be precarious, Facebook/Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg released a suspiciously Trump-friendly announcement today, Pornhub is no longer available in Florida, and the show shines a light on all the craziness with 2025’s first edition of “This Week in Florida.” #Kimmel
Christspiracy is life-changing and mind altering! Wow, religion is both the best thing (as it was originally) and the worst thing (what greedy people have made of it): christspiracy.com
How would Jesus kill and butcher an animal, anal electrocution? Would he smite it, cut its neck with a blood-soaked knife as it gurgled and tried to scream? Use a stun gun first? Have a rabbi next to him to make sure the lamb baby he led to slaughter was killed all "kosher" like? (No, of course Jesus/Issa wouldn't do that kind of stuff! He was an ethical vegetarian. Hell-bound humans do that kind of stuff...and was it the greedy, fearful, deluded priests who led them to do it?)
Los Angeles Animal Save and Animal Alliance Network are holding a screening of the amazing breakthrough fill Christspiracy -- exposing the biggest coverup in 2,000 years of history. Joaquin Phoenix says it "exposes unforgiving truths."
What if the reason the world eats so much slaughtered meat (hundreds of billions of animals murdered a year) is the priests?
The Western spiritual tradition is founded on the qualities of kindness and compassion towards animals it ignores. Buddhists were not spared this madness: Most Buddhists today think it's okay to eat an animal that was not killed for them in specific (just in general, dead there in the market to and retroactively killed for them when they pay the butcher for having slaughtered and butchered it).
Its titular head was all-kind, a-forgiving, and called on his followers to do the same. But the priests got greedy, from Judaism to Christian, ancient Greek paganism to ancient Hinduism, it was far more profitable to have people donate sacrificial animals to them, which they slaughtered (kosher, pareve, halal, etc.) in some "spiritual" way then sell them back to followers for feasts. Their gods demanded animal sacrifice. They made it holy and completely fine, as if unfeeling animals were fine to kill, like mowing down insentient blades of grass.
Even the grass is sentient. How much more the conscious, communicative animals all around us?
Please join LA Animal Save, Animal Alliance Network, and Plant Based Treaty for a FREE screening of CHRISTSPIRACY with Co-Director Kameron Waters at Au Lac Plant-based Restaurant on Sunday, Dec. 8th. Doors open at 5:00 pm. Film starts at 5:30 pm. Seating is first-come, first-served. Order delicious food and beverages from the menu. Bring friends! More: facebook.com...1236145564104756
Welcome to the Surveillance State, Winston. - I didn't sign up for this, Big Brother! - Don't you remember clicking on the consent form? - That gobbledygook of Legalese? - It's legally binding. We sell your data to government agencies, so they protect us.

Big Brother (MZ) is always watching.
Want to freak out? Let’s look at just how much of our information evil corporations like Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook and a corporation's Google scan and store about us without us even realizing it.
Google knows where we’ve been. Google stores our location (if we have location tracking turned on for convenience and functionality) every time we turn on your phone (even though it listens and can hear perfectly well when "off").
We can see a timeline of where we’ve been from the very first day we started using Google on our phone, which does not come as a choice on Android. [Tracking by Apple, Inc. is done with Safari and other programs.]
Google spying: tracking me throughout Ireland
Anyone can click on this link to see his or her own data: google.com/maps/timeline?Here is every place I have been in the last 12 months in Ireland. Spies can see the time of day that I was at each location and how long it took me to get to that location from my previous one. More: organicallyhuman.com

The government took my company, embedded FBI agents, and forced us to include "backdoors" so they could spy on citizens. Why? We give them all the private information we collect on our users. (We are the government sort of but not officially). It's our right as a transnational corporation to support government that need to spy. YOU signed the agreement! If it's good enough for Winston Smith, it should be good enough for you. Go to hell. I'm a billionaire, you Proles!

(WIRED) Russia. Cambridge Analytica. Hacks. Data breaches. Facebook has a rotten record and reputation when it comes to user privacy and control of personal data.
Mark "Facebook" Zuckerberg has a plan. Facebook is pivoting to privacy, Zuckerberg announced in a 3,200-word screed.
Zuckerberg sets out his [Orwellian] vision for the firm, saying that its future will be more focused on user privacy.
You don't understand what's at stake! My $$$
The shift comes around a year after Facebook's Cambridge Analytica scandal was first reported by The Observer and could mark a huge shift in how the company is organized, operates, and makes money.
Or it might not change anything at all. WIRED has unpacked what Zuckerberg is really saying in his essay and from subsequent comments given in an interview with WIRED.
"There needs to be two types of platforms in the world [one that collects user data for free, and another to sell it to spying agencies]: one is a more public platform, like the digital equivalent of a town square where you interact with lots of people [and tell them personal things] at once. That’s largely what Facebook and Instagram are. And the other platform is the private space [where we crunch, analyze, and store data, like Winston's job at the Ministry of Truth in the book], the digital equivalent to the living room."
Meta just achieved mind-reading using AI
(ColdFusion) Imagine if our brains could be scanned and the contents of our thoughts could be read. They can, but it was not useful data until A.I. was employed to make sense of the coding. A team of researchers and also Meta (formerly Facebook Corporation) have just achieved this feat by using AI. This episode of ColdFusion takes a look.
Zuckerberg has realized that people are using the main Facebook platform less. Data from the Pew Research Center found that after the Cambridge Analytica scandal 40 per cent of US adults were taking a break from the website.
People are still using other services owned by Facebook. The company is still making plenty of money.
Over the last three years Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger have been growing. The three apps have one big thing in common: messaging is a core part of how they work and that's what Zuckerberg is going to focus on with his bold ambition of [REDEFINING] privacy.
But what exactly does that mean?
AI "models" vs. human influencers: $$$
Where did Z'berg get this Orwellian idea? From
Israel redefining self-defense to mean genocide?
Priscilla is set to become world's richest Chinese woman.
"I'm trying to lay out is a privacy-focused vision for this kind of platform that starts with messaging and making that as secure as possible with end-to-end encryption, and then building all of the other kinds of private and intimate ways that you would want to interact—from calling, to groups, to stories, to payments, to different forms of commerce, to sharing location, to eventually having a more open-ended system to plug in different kinds of tools."
Essentially, Facebook's next focus is making money from messaging. People increasingly using Facebook's apps to talk to friends and family in smaller, private groups.
As a result, Zuckerberg will split the company into two parts that focus on public sharing and private sharing.
Uh-oh, sex with AI robots is coming (and deepfake Os will be included)
"Privacy is not the opposite of public sharing," Kaltheuner wrote on Twitter. Private sharing CAN STILL BE TERRIBLE FOR PRIVACY if the company enabling it is collecting huge quantities of personal data and using it [trade with government and nongovernment surveillance agencies like the FBI, CIA, NSA, NSC, DHS, IRS, SSO, and other "Alphabet" agencies] to target advertising.

(Jimmy Kimmel Live)
Feb. 26, 2024: Trump was given the “Champion of Black America” award over the weekend at a gala for the Black Conservative Federation, he spent his time freestyle "rapping" on a variety of topics designed to let Black people know how beloved he is by Black people (only his audience was actually nearly all white), he currently owes the state of New York $455+ million and counting because he lost his business fraud case, Trump beat Nikki Haley by 20 points in her home state of South Carolina, he made an appearance at CPAC where he brought back one of his classic entrances (and abysmal exits), Mark "Facebook" Zuckerberg was in Japan over the weekend and showed off his hobbies online, and Kimmel pull an Apple Vision Pro prank on Jimmy's cousin Micki.
