"The Legion of Doom recruits, trains, and radicalizes young Americans to engage in violence and suppression of political activity, then employs elaborate means and mechanisms to shield the identities of its operatives, conceal its funding sources and operations in an effort to frustrate law enforcement, and recruit additional members." — Some Old Man in a White House, September 22, 2025 (edited)

A glimpse into 2026, the "Golden Age" will finally reach Alaska.
It doesn't get any higher in North America, the only disadvantage is that the summit very often is shrouded in clouds.
Ein Blick voraus in 2026, das "Goldene Zeitalter" erreicht endlich auch Alaska.
Höher geht es nicht in Nordamerika, der einzige Nachteil ist, dass der Gipfel sehr oft von Wolken verhüllt ist.

Judaean Desert, January 20, 2025:
You seek a great fortune, you who is now in exile.
You will find a fortune,
though it will not be the one you seek.
But first... first you must travel a long
and difficult road, a road fraught with peril.
Mm-hmm. You shall see thangs, wonderful to tell.
You shall see a... a cow... on the roof
of a cotton house, ha.
And, oh, so many startlements.
I cannot tell you how long this road shall be,
but fear not the obstacles in your path,
for fate has vouchsafed your reward.
Though the road may wind, yea,
your heart grow weary, still shall ye follow them,
even unto your salvation.

* The Daily Beast: "Mar-a-Lago Guests Spill Tacky Details of Trump’s Gatsby Bash," by Will Neal, November 1, 2025
One Step for a Nation, One step for Humanity?
Where is the Mr. or Ms. Smith when we need them the most? Maybe this will be the person and he or she has arrived in Washington to help the little guy and do the right thing for our nation & for the world.
Our nation is at a cross road and the path ahead isn't very clear to many of us. Whoever wins this election the road ahead for them will be always full of political situations and obstacles that will always be changing, that will be the true challenge. I pray that those decisions will reflect the best interest of the average individual of this nation.
And not one person vendetta!
Or is this just a pipe dream that I'm having again?

La menace que je vois se dessiner ce n’est donc pas celle des Fake news, mais celle de l’autoritarisme de l’État et son autonomisation en tant qu’agent de contrôle de l’opinion(Emmanuel Todd, historien et anthropologue)
Le déni de la réalité est devenu le cadre de vie de nos dirigeants (Jan Theuninck, 17.01.2017)
The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know. * We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy. That relies on primarily on covet means for expanding its fear of influence. On infiltration instead of invasion. On subversion instead of elections. On intimidation instead of free choice, on guerillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted, vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly nit highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. * It requires a change in outlook, a change in tactics, a change in missions--by the government, by the people, by every businessman or labor leader, and by every newspaper. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. * Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match. * Nevertheless, every democracy recognizes the necessary restraints of national security--and the question remains whether those restraints need to be more strictly observed if we are to oppose this kind of attack as well as outright invasion. * And so it is to the printing press--to the recorder of man's deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news--that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.

Is er een enorm verschil tussen wat de burger in het dagdagelijkse leven ervaart en wat er in de "vrije" pers wordt meegedeeld? Zijn de journalisten hondjes die aan een korte ketting liggen en alleen blaffen op bevel van hun baasje: zijn zij de promotors van het politieke "correct" denken? Is dit een symptoom van wat men een geleide democratie (of zachte dictatuur) noemt? Dient de pers om de aandacht van de burgers af te leiden van nog erger? (Jan Theuninck in Poetrylifeandtimes, begin 21ste eeuw)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Equal enslavement is also evident in the media: journalists have accepted – without any scruple of conscience – prostituting themselves to the powerful, going so far as to censor the truth and spread shameless lies without even trying to give them the appearance of credibility. Up until last year journalists counted the numbers of the “victims” of Covid by presenting anyone who tested positive as terminally ill; today those who die after being vaccinated are always and only taken by a vague “illness,” and even before the post mortem examinations they officially decide that there is no correlation between a person’s death and the administration of the gene serum. They twist the truth with impunity when it does not confirm their narrative, bending it to fit their purposes. Mgr Vigano, 28.08.21

171103-N-WY954-037 CAMP H.M. SMITH (Nov. 3, 2017)— President Donald J. Trump and U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM) Commander, Adm. Harry Harris, are piped aboard during an honors ceremony at USPACOM headquarters. The President is in Hawaii to receive a briefing from USPACOM prior to traveling to Japan, the Republic of Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines from November 3-14. During the trip the President will underscore his commitment to longstanding U.S. alliances and partnerships, and reaffirm U.S. leadership in promoting a free and open Indo-Asia-Pacific region. The president’s engagements will strengthen the international resolve to confront the North Korean threat and ensure the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

Eastern State Penitentiary, where Willie Sutton and Al Capone were held, used solitary confinement, supposedly to reform their guests.
Charles Dickens, who visited in the 1840s, did not buy the rationale for keeping prisoners isolated; he called it ghastly and considered it a form of torture. The United Nations came to the same conclusion and said it should never be done longer than 15 days at most. After seeing it practically die out, we saw it coming back in full force in the 1980s, though it is not usually called solitary confinement, but rather restrictive housing, segregation, room restriction, protective custody, security housing units or whatever new euphemisms they may come up with to just keep torturing prisoners who can be sent to solitary at whim.
Edit: Stephen Miller even had his president isolating little children from their parents!
Eastern State also occasionally used the “shower bath”, which sounds like an early form of waterboarding... At least they did not pretend it was just “enhanced interrogation”...
The prison is now open to the public as a preserved ruin.
The Reverend Donald Trump stands tall,
Reading from the Book of Zardoz,
His voice booming with authority,
His words a mix of prophecy and folly.
He preaches of power and domination,
Of a world ruled by strength and fear,
Where only the strong survive,
And the weak are cast aside.
His followers hang on his every word,
Believing in his vision of greatness,
Blind to the darkness in his soul,
Lost in the promise of a golden future.
But as he reads from the Book of Zardoz,
I see the emptiness in his eyes,
The hunger for power that drives him,
The twisted logic that guides him.
And I wonder, in this world of chaos and confusion,
What fate awaits us all,
When The Reverend Donald Trump
Is the voice of our salvation.

Republican Donald Trump has been caricatured as everything from Humpty Dumpty in a mural in Bushwick to a Simpsons character in Williamsburg.
So what is the difference betwen a mural and graffiti?
A painting on a wall is called a “mural,” from the Latin word for wall: murus. Murals where spray paint is the main component are called “graffiti."

Free speech did not face much of a test under Obama. You could say just about anything without the slightest murmur from the government.
Under a petty tyrant who has his own private militia of fascist thugs that can be mobilized and sent on a mission with a simple tweet, any utterance of dissent may become a test of courage that few among us can muster.
Courage my friends, there may be very dark days ahead...

I feel this photo which I took at the Women’s Rally in Hartford, Connecticut this past winter is relevant now, especially in lieu of all the news this past week of Trump’s possible collusion with Russia in stealing our election for his own monetary gains.
Saw this billboard off of I-20 in Hudson Oaks, Texas and just had to pull over. I don't know how you feel about him, but I'm always amazed at how people use their hard-earned money to show support for the former president.
