#1: Hi JPW: I blame AIPAC Democrats and their 2024 platform for the mess we're in, not Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), the "Squad," or progressive Democrats. We are all in this terrible fascist stew because the 2024 Democratic Party ignored the antiwar constituents of their party, even shutting them out at the 2024 DNC convention in Chicago: the Mennonite Central Committee, the War Resister's League, Jewish Voices for Peace, Veterans for Peace, the Society of Friends (Quakers), Code Pink, American Peace Society. So, they stayed home on 5 Nov 2024.

Film director Michael Moore warns that Democrats will lose future national elections if they continue supporting Israel. So if we Americans want to get out of this mess we're in, we had better secure this critical voter bloc in 2028.

The panopticon of warrantless surveillance is being constructed apace in America. USAG Pam Bondi has secured the voter rolls for several states and is suing two non-compliant ones (Maine and Oregon). ICE will be using a powerful Israeli hacking tool that can penetrate the secure Smartphones of migrants which will inadvertently pick up data on US citizens. The Trumpf junta will use powerful Palantir technologies to exploit this data and who knows how much personal data DOGE scoured for nefarious purposes? Now the American police state has this treasure trove of passenger data to mine.

Some have criticized me for my analysis, so be it, but the preceding Administration was a Weimar Republic that may have stood up to Vladimir Putin, but didn't stand up to the brutality of Benjamin Netanyahu nor did it neutralize the visible growing threat of Dummkopf Trumpf.

The American people needed the 2024 Democrats to be 3/3 in fighting the rightwing, not 1/3.

#5: Hi Corky: Maybe the Chinese MSS have already penetrated these databases.

BTW: Air Canada is one of the airlines that is a part owner of ARC, like AA, UAL, and Delta. I wonder how our friends to the north will react to this news once they find out? Redial is a Canuck and may chime in.

#8: Hi Redial: British Columbia seems to have a robust privacy commission to protect its provincial citizens from warrantless intrusion, as does Ontario and Quebec. And the federal office in Ottawa seems quite capable. Meanwhile here in the US, we have a "Wild West" of our own personal data being used against us. I wonder how many Americans have fled to Canada these past several months. The IRB was hearing cases from transgender people seeking asylum in Canada.
