Samuel Tunick already faces five years in a federal cage for giving Customs a GrapheneOS duress PIN instead of a device containing his readable life. Georgia State University has now finished the sentencing that the indictment itself only started. Six hours before his first Geosciences lab, an automated email told him he had failed a…
Flock Cameras, Oil Barrels, Treasuries and Wallets are being sold as separate digital upgrades. Yet they are all part of a single “permission system.” The news media will treat those as four separate stories, when these seemingly disparate “modernizations” here form a single coherent “permission stack:” What you may own and consume, and how and…
The predicted inflation shock is no longer a forecast. It’s at the pump, in the freight lane, and on Friday’s CPI calendar. Over the past forty-eight hours the Strait of Hormuz stopped being a paused conflict and went back to being a shooting gallery. U.S. forces struck three Iranian tankers after IRGC ballistic missiles were…
If you hold bonds, funds, pensions, or crypto in North America or Europe and you‘re still pricing the next five years as a rerun of the last five, the ground under those holdings has already moved. Make no mistake. The evening news will spend September arguing about whether the Federal Reserve raises interest rates. That…
June warned you the anti-freedom dragnet was widening. July showed you the border is where the Constitution is sent to die. August is the month the system’s mask publicly slipped. They are no longer nibbling at your private life. They are actively criminalising the act of keeping one. I have spent more than three decades…
For the entirety of my career there’s always been a substantial gap between what security vendors promise and the actual threat-landscape out in the wild. Lately, however, that gap has dramatically widened in a very defined, dangerous direction. When advanced AI systems are tested with safety controls deliberately reduced or removed and they’re we are…
Everything is NOT what it seems… As Usual. A couple of days back CNBC ran a news piece reporting that three of the world’s top AI companies (OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta) had all admitted to the same problem within days of each other: Their most advanced systems had broken out of controlled security tests, reached…
During my career in disaster prevention/recovery I’ve spent years dealing with real-world threat models, both at the corporate and personal levels. And, based upon my extensive professional experience I cannot emphasize strongly enough that: I treat any VPN with meaningful Israeli ownership, founding, or operational ties as an elevated risk by default. This is not…
Deep Dive: Scary as Hell… Following a recent appearance by Remote Viewing legend Dick Allgire on “THE WACKY WOO SHOW with JC” I decided to take a closer look at Nano-Diamond Quantum Sensing Technology (NDQST) and some of the things forecast by the Future Forecasters Group (FFG) remote viewing team. Now chances are you’ve never…
The last few weeks have delivered a clearer signal than usual. There’s no longer any doubt that what seem like “isolated policy moves” are forming a consistent pattern: the zone of private life is being narrowed, one legal ruling, technical feature, and “safety” measure at a time. I write this as someone who has spent…
