The nefarious Trumpf junta is using an AI-generated picture of Halo's Master Chief to call for the destruction of immigrants. Official DHS accounts shared an image of warriors in Spartan armor riding a Warthog under the words "DESTROY THE FLOOD JOIN.ICE.GOV." In the fiction of Halo, the "Flood" is a parasitic creature that infects sentient life and turns them into monsters whose only desire is to spread the parasite. They're depicted as a brainless and fast-moving wave of flesh that could not be reasoned with. The sinister Trumpf junta has long invoked racist imagery, much of it pulled from America's past, to sell its agenda. But overtly equating immigrants to a ravening horde of monsters from a video game has its closest analogue in Nazi propaganda. Xbox did not push back against the use of its imagery, and Microsoft, which donated to Dummkopf Trumpf's White House ballroom project, apparently did not push back against the biggest use of its IP. read more


The Labor Dept is using AI-generated recruitment posters for its "Blue Collar Boom" ad campaign, glorifying white, macho Christian males, similar to the propaganda posters used by the Third Reich. read more


"Yesterday, at the direction of President Dummkopf Trumpf, the Department of War carried out three lethal kinetic strikes on four vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations (DTO) trafficking narcotics in the Eastern Pacific. The four vessels were known by our intelligence apparatus, transiting along known narco-trafficking routes, and carrying narcotics. Eight male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessels during the first strike. Four male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the second strike. Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the third strike. A total of 14 narco-terrorists were killed during the three strikes, with one survivor. All strikes were in international waters with no US forces harmed. Regarding the survivor, USSOUTHCOM immediately initiated Search and Rescue (SAR) standard protocols; Mexican SAR authorities accepted the case and assumed responsibility for coordinating the rescue." read more


A grand jury in Marion County is taking a closer look into allegations within Indiana Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith's office regarding "ghost employment" and distribution of an intimate image(s). Ghost employment is most often used as a term for payroll fraud. A public servant can also be charged with ghost employment as a Level 6 felony for assigning employees duties not related to their government position. Staffers within Beckwith's office had allegedly been sharing an AI pornographic deepfake video of a state representative's wife. The alleged deepfake video was modified from an existing video of the wife of State Rep. Craig Haggard (R-Indianapolis). A former adviser within the Beckwith office claimed to have seen Beckwith staffers sharing this video around the office. She called the atmosphere in Beckwith's office a "frat house" that was "very immature." The Marion County Prosecutor's Office announced that they were looking into the allegations. read more

#36: One AI overview on first cousin marriage:


Ancient and Classical Societies:

Egypt, Greece, Rome: First cousin marriage was practiced, especially among elites (e.g., Egyptian pharaohs often married siblings or cousins to keep power within the family).
Jewish Tradition: The Hebrew Bible records cousin marriages (e.g., Isaac and Rebekah), and it was common among Jewish communities for centuries.

Medieval and Early Modern Europe:

Christian Europe: The Catholic Church discouraged close-kin marriage, but dispensations were often granted, especially for royal and noble families to consolidate power and wealth.
Islamic World: First cousin marriage has been permitted and relatively common, especially in the Middle East and North Africa, due to cultural and economic factors.

19th and Early 20th Century:

Europe and North America: First cousin marriage was legal and not uncommon, especially in rural areas and among immigrant communities. Famous examples include Charles Darwin (married his first cousin Emma Wedgwood) and Albert Einstein (married his first cousin Elsa Einstein).
US: By the late 19th century, about four percent of marriages in some states were between first cousins, though laws began to restrict it in the early 20th century.

Cultural and Religious Factors

Islam: Permitted and sometimes encouraged, especially in societies where family ties are highly valued.
Judaism: Historically common, though less so today.
Christianity: Generally discouraged, but not always prohibited, especially in Protestant traditions.

Modern Trends

Decline in the West: Due to medical concerns (increased risk of genetic disorders), changing social norms, and legal restrictions, first cousin marriage has become rare in most Western countries.
Continued Practice Elsewhere: Still common in parts of the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa, where it can account for 20"50% of marriages in some communities.

Genetic Considerations

The risk of birth defects is slightly higher (about two to three percent above the general population risk), but still relatively low for most first cousin couples.

The son of Pastor Nathan Peternel, a longtime mentor and close ally of Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith, has been arrested on seven felony counts related to child sex crimes: Sex Maniac.

Lt Governor Micah Beckwith, who is a Christian pastor, also smeared NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, bleating that he "has no right to force his values" on NYC because "we are a Christian nation." Islamophobic Tweet

We certainly are a "Christian nation" Lt Governor Beckwith, so nobody needs your banal reminder.


At least 33 Palestinians were killed in a series of murderous IDF air strikes in Gaza. Israel carried out the strikes in response to what it said were violations of the US-brokered ceasefire agreement.

Unindicted war criminal Defense Minister Israel Katz accused Hamas of attacking Israeli soldiers in Gaza on Tuesday, and breaching the terms on returning the bodies of deceased hostages. Hamas claimed it had "no connection" to the attack and insisted it was committed to the ceasefire deal. The Benjamin Netanyahu junta will bleat and parrot the same lies that the Muslims are the ones violating the non-existent ceasefire. Israel demands that the Palestinians find all of the Israeli corpses under the rubble or hidden away and the minders are dead too, so this becomes nearly impossible. The Palestinians must use couriers to transit information so the IDF can't intercept their signals in order to track and kill them. This slows down the process of repatriating cadavers.

By pencil and paper calculation, as well as AI estimates, the IDF will kill close to 72,000 Palestinians or more in Gaza before the end of the year.

Similarly, historians have pointed out the number of treaties and agreements the US government reneged on with the Native Americans, justifying attacking them. History is repeating itself, except this time the pogrom is on the internet and televised, unlike the 19th-century eradication of the Apaches, Sioux, Cree, Mowhawks, etc.

The hardworking American taxpayer is watching this. Antiwar Samaritans and pro-Palestinian Americans will not vote for a Republican or an AIPAC-funded candidate in future national elections. They will stay home.
