(2b.alwaysloved, May 5, 2026) Indigenous, aboriginal, copper-colored people of Turtle Island who are called "American" Indians are misclassified as "African" American Blacks.

They are actually the original inhabitants of the Americas and the Caribbean who built civilizations here long before Eurasians, Africans, and Europeans came to Turtle Island. They had kings and queens. Native Americans of Eurasian [Siberian, etc.] descent are not indigenous to the Americas or the Caribbean but rather are descendants of slaves from China, Japan, the Philippines, India, Southwest Asia, who arrived on Spanish and Portuguese Manila Galleons. They also came from Europe, including the UK, and married the indigenous American Indians misclassified as African American Blacks, who were taught in church schools how to be Indians and signed on Indian Rolls for $5 to take over the lands and identity of the indigenous American Indians misclassified as African American Blacks.

(Erased Century) This documentary traces a process through the architecture and legal history of Europe’s built environment. Let's examine the "window tax" and how a levy designed as a proxy for wealth reshaped homes across Britain by encouraging owners to brick up their own windows.
Let's look at the Assize of Bread and Ale, a medieval system that allowed prices, weights, and quality to be checked openly in public. Follow the history of buildings like the Cloth Hall in Ypres, where commerce once operated in direct view of the town square through dozens of open doorways. Let's place those systems beside the English Enclosure Movement, where common land was steadily converted into private property through acts of Parliament.
What emerges is not just a story about taxation or urban design. It is a story about the disappearance of public accountability from physical space.
For centuries, economic life was not fully hidden behind offices, contracts, and restricted records. It was built into rooms, halls, scales, galleries, and open market floors. Any person could walk into a civic building, compare a measure, challenge a weight, observe a transaction, or see standards enforced in public. Accountability was not abstract. It was architectural.
But that world was gradually sealed off. The window tax, introduced in 1696, is remembered for darkening homes by encouraging the bricking-up of windows. Yet, light was only one thing being lost.
Across the same broad period, older systems of public regulation were dismantled, guild [the democratic organizations that governed the trades] enforcement weakened, common land enclosed, and civic spaces repurposed.
Rooms that once served open economic functions became offices, storage areas, archives, or restricted institutional space. Doors that had once meant access remained on the facade while the rights attached to them quietly disappeared.
And then there is what happens when those sealed spaces are opened again. Again and again, renovations, fires, and accidental discoveries reveal that the hidden spaces inside old buildings contain histories far more significant than the official story above them.
Archeologists working beneath France's Notre Dame uncovered long-buried tombs and forgotten medieval sculpture. Hidden remains were found inside Benjamin Franklin’s former London home. Other sealed spaces have revealed tunnels, preserved rooms, and material evidence of functions long erased from public memory.
The pattern is difficult to ignore: Once the wall comes down, the building tells a different story.
This documentary follows that pattern across law, architecture, archeology, and urban memory. It asks what disappeared when public rooms were reclassified, when shared land was enclosed, and when physical access to standards, oversight, and verification was replaced by distance and authority.
It is not only about bricked-up windows. It is about bricked-up systems — systems that once allowed ordinary people to see, measure, question, and hold power accountable in plain sight.

How PENI, a prison punk rock gang, became "slaves" to the Neo-Nazi Aryan Brotherhood
(Hood Archives) True crime documentary. Oct. 27, 2025: In the 1980s, PENI ("Public Enemy Number One"), named after the British anarcho-punk band Rudimentary Peni, emerged from the Long Beach/Los Angeles hardcore punk scene.
By 2018, their co-founder was murdered on a prison yard—executed on orders from the Aryan Brotherhood (AB) leadership he once served.
This documentary examines how a white punk rock street gang became controlled by a notorious white supremacist prison organization through federal court testimony, law enforcement records, and witness accounts.
Peckerwood is a U.S. racial epithet used against white people, especially poor rural whites [2]. Originally an ethnic slur, the term has been reclaimed by a subculture related to prison gangs and outlaw motorcycle clubs [3,4,5,6]. The term was in use as an inversion of woodpecker in the Southern United States by the 1830s; it is also with the sense referring to white people documented from the 1850s [2]. African-American folklore in the 1920s contrasted the white "peckerwood" bird with the African-American blackbird [6,7]. The word became a common term in Jive. More

“Ratings for the big three 11:30 pm network talk shows [with hosts Kimmel, Fallon, Meyers] have dropped sharply since 2015,” LateNighter reports.
This chart [at right] compares yearly ratings (2010-2025) of CBS’s “The Late Show,” NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” and ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
Only capitalism should control network TV?
According to the LateNighter analysis: All three shows have lost 70-80% of their audience in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 age range since 2015.
Network late-night talk shows became unprofitable in 2023. Brand advertising expenditures on late-night television in 2024 fell to half the 2018 level.
“In 2015, the typical 11:30 pm talk show brought in well over $200 million in revenue and made a healthy profit.”
“By 2023, the same show was underwater, and by 2025, losses are well into the tens of millions of dollars.”
To make matters worse, cost-cutting efforts by late-night shows haven’t been able to make up for increased costs, such as salaries. And episodes of late-night talk shows don’t age well, so they have virtually no market for rerun syndication. More

We were all raised not paying too much attention to geography. Boring. Public school is not taught to awaken and inspire, but rather to bore and humble. Get to work. And don't ask too many questions. Keep your head down.
Not paying that much attention, still, the longest river was always obviously the great Mississippi. But that has never been. Hello, have you met the Mandela Effect? Due to changes in the timeline, consensus reality, or you're just whack, it has always been the M-i-s-s...ouri. The what? Who's even ever heard of this river, much less to make it the longest? It's not limited to Missouri, and it pours into the great Mississippi.
1. Following the Great Maitri Marga Guru [Path of Loving-Kindness Teacher], the GuruMarga [Teacher's Path] and the Bhagvan Marga [Lord's Path], absorbed in forgotten feelings, making Maitri Mangal (lovingly fulfilled) all Sangha [Spiritual Community] friends, Dharma-lovers and followers that come and go; and, remembering this present Guru’s moment together, may all tormented souls on the Marga of the Maitri Dharma [Teaching of Loving-Kindness] have refreshing realization. Dharma is the only element that can support a platform built to be directly with the Paramatma [Supreme Self].
3. Just as the value of water corresponds to the degree of thirst; the value of the Dharma [Timeless Teaching] is assessed by kindness, compassion, nonviolence, trust, belief, devotion, faith, and an unwavering human life regarding the Marga [Path].
4. To enter into the Dharma [Truth] means to be absorbed in the path of mukti (freedomafter death) and moksha (liberation from the cycle of rebirth [= nirvana]).
5. That marga [path] which does not have the element forming mukti [freedom] and moksha [spiritual liberation] can never even be accepted in the true Dharma [ultimate Truth] as being called a marga [path], and the Dharma [Teaching] not being in divided civilisations, is obtained in the perfection of the Maitri [agape] knowledge, the bridge between the soul and the Paramatma [ego and the Higher Self].
6. It is impossible for humans remaining far from the knowledge of Maitri [agape love] to attain true enlightenment [awakening to the oneness of all] no matter what one is practicing.
7. In the end, all that may have appeared to be beneficial in this transient world will prove futile.
9. The Dharma is the rising and setting sun, the sky in which the stars shine, and the flowers blossoming in nature.
10. In the end, the Dharma is to understand the transience of the moment of this passing world as though waking up from a nightmare [saṃsāra] to find that in reality [nirvana] one is safe.
11. Rather than asking such questions as to what attributes a contemplative and intelligent person skillful in the Dharma has, and what the role of religion is in the Dharma; why doesn’t a person make the inquiry as to what one has given oneself through passion and attachments to worldly things?
12. Whether or not the way a person is following possesses the Tatva [Elements of Reality] forming mukti [freedom] and moksha [spiritual liberation] is the person’s own very personal internal quest.
13. Guru [Teacher] is fulfilling the Dharma: He is giving the Marga [Noble Eightfold Path] to the world, but the person [each] must make the journey on the Marga by oneself.
14. Whether or not one is enlightened and what one has to bear is justly determined according to the accumulated merit and other karma of the souls traveling on the Marga being shown by Guru.
15. Even though it is natural for various pains and sorrows to occur on the Path, the crucial matter is the reverence and faith towards the Guru Marga [Path of the Guru or Path Made Known by the Guru].
17. However people store empty words used in their past life, otherwise the Path of Enlightenment would be realised very quickly by following the Guru Marga [Teacher's Path].
18. To stand on the Earth while resting in the sky remaining in human form together with the realisation of the Maitri Tatva [Elements of Love] of the pure appearance of the Paramatma’s [Higher Self’s] own form – realizing including self all the mysteries of the universe – is to be freed from the mind’s countless oceans [floods, ogha] of illusion having evaporated like water into the open sky.
19. That which leads to the highest qualities of tatvas [suchness] among all religions and Guru knowledge, having the ability to extinguish former confusion throughout the world, is called the Maitri Dharma. In this way, the primordial existence of all religions would all be on the Marga of Maitri Dharma [Path of Highest Love as Truth] itself.
20. On the Maitri Marga [Path of Love], only by doing true practice [sadhana] of the Dharma until the last moment of life does a person benefit the Dharma.
21. And with this Maitri message, I am giving (you) the 11 precepts to be free from allthe defilements within the whole human world.
1) Never break oneness and equality on account of name, appearance, ethnicity, tribe, religion, colour, class, gender, belief, community, nation, power, position, ability and so forth; this means, give up all discord, be it worldly or spiritual.
3) Never cause rifts or doubts with untruths, accusations and counter-accusations, belittling or meaningless talk.
4) Resist all teachings and paths that lead to separation, rifts or boundaries; stay steadfast in the true marga-practice.
5) Resist doing even the least harmful karma-actions throughout life in true Gurumarga [Teacher-path] practice, melt totally into Guru’s truth-nature, becoming part of it.
6) Before being truly merged in the essential realities and practices of Gurunature and Dharmanature, refrain from expounding it with clever words; while still mired in hearsay, rumour, and propaganda, do not draw others into delusion.
7) Avoid any and all demonic behaviour: violence, killing, harming or hurting living beings; choose only pure wholesome nourishment.
8) Do not think less of people or countries on account of national identity.
9) Rooted in true Gurumarga practices, dedicate all karma-actions, thought and speech to the uplift of the whole world, including ourselves.
10) When searching for Truth, the Gurumarga path begins to take form within the heart and merges with Gurunature for the wellbeing of all life in the universe.
11) Remain always in the highest and deepest awareness, realising the various precepts in the soul, gaining freedom from all bygone bondage and constraints.
22. Together with these 11 precepts being internalized by all the Sanghas, liberate all living beings including self, and; may all realize this Satya Marga Gyan – the Wisdom of the True Path.
23. Never lingering in the ego, running after worldly name and fame; humans should stay resolute in the remembrance of the Paramatma always keeping the feeling of Maitri in the heart (atma).
24. The GuruMarga has descended to re-establish the true Dharma on the Earth after an interval of ages.
25. As this golden moment has been realized by beings and plant-life (the eco-system); may humans also be without defilements and take virtuous benefit from this Maha Maitri Marga at the earliest!
May all beings be lovingly fulfilled.
So be it!

Mickey Mouse copyright expiration inspires horror movies, video games, and memes
Don't touch my patent or I'll sue.
The cartoon rat "Mickey Mouse" will finally appear in new, non-Disney creative works after 95 years of copyright protection of the character expired on Jan. 1, 2024.
With this, early versions of Mickey Mouse are now part of the public domain and non-Disney creators can use them in their own for-profit works (like that time The Simpsons made a Steamboat Willie knockoff segment).
Just in the last two days, independent video game creators and film directors have announced two horror movies and a video game featuring the character, while memes are spreading online showing Mickey in absurd and inappropriate scenes, including nautical accidents and terrorist attacks.
Mickey Hitler fights for Israel, and Donald Hamas gets slaughtered and eaten? The quick capitalization on Mickey’s updated copyright status is the most recent example of how iconic pieces of intellectual property can be quickly remixed and recycled in the digital age for art and profit. Let's hope that rappers don't start drawing comic strips or else it may invent a whole new genre of cartooning that takes over the world.
1928’s “Steamboat Willie” and “Plane Crazy” were the first two Walt Disney Animation releases to feature Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and the former was the first moving picture synced to sound.
The characters were first protected under U.S. copyright law for 50 years, then Disney campaigned for and received extensions to further capitalize on the invention against the interests of everyone else.
As Disney’s grip on the intellectual property rights surrounding the earliest versions of Mickey Mouse have come to an end, creators have poked fun at the numerous possibilities that could come from the change. More

How do these woman-on-child sexual assaults happen? What is wrong with the old criminal crones of today, wearing bikinis, preying on our young innocent boy-children, plastering them with brew, and taking advantage of their sweet angelic innocence? Think of "evil" hebephiliac "American sex offender" Mary Kay Letourneau (née Schmitz then Fualaau, when she married the boy and stayed married to him for 14 years) -- a mother, wife, and trusted elementary school teacher, raised in a strict Catholic family -- forcing that innocent Samoan child, Vili Fualaau, 12, in her classroom to fall in love with her and put out in her car, getting pregnant, going to jail, still seeing him, going to jail again, and bringing ignominy upon her family and community (plus titillating a lusty double-standard nation) until her untimely death. When will the madness stop?
(The Marshall Project) When former Public Defender and Director David Feige (Untouchable) heard Shawna’s story, “it became immediately clear that she was far from the kind of person we imagine when we think about sexual predators [because she's female, young, attractive, and white],” he writes.
“Shawna isn't some serial rapist or violent pedophile, but a young [white] woman who happened to hook up with [jailbait] the wrong guy when she was 19 and he, it turned out, was 14.”
Fifteen years later, condemned to life on the sex offender registry as a child molester, she still pays the price for that mistake every day.
[Many males are forced onto this list for public urination, which is counted as a sex crime of exposing one's genitals in public even if no one sees them. Don't drink beer and pee outside, guys and gals.]
Child groom Vili, rapist Mary, and two daughters
Her story raises important questions about who gets labeled a “sexual predator” [preying on our innocent young boys at parties where alcohol is illegally served to minors] and the penalties we impose on them.
Untouchable, Director David Feige's documentary feature about sex offender laws, won the Best New Documentary Director prize at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival.
