The public disgust with #nfl officiating is reaching a palpably dangerous level.
They’d be smart to review the Roman circus for a historical analysis of what happens when puppeteers take liberties.
While modern pop culture heavily associates Roman unrest with gladiators in the Colosseum, the truly massive, explosive fan rebellions actually happened at the chariot racing tracks— known as circuses in the West (like the Circus Maximus) and hippodromes in the East.
The ultimate culmination of circus fan violence occurred in Constantinople (the capital of the Eastern Roman/Byzantine Empire) at the Hippodrome.
The Nika Riots (532 AD): The Deadliest Fan Uprising
The Uprising: On January 13, 532 AD, during a day of races, the usually bitter rivals (the Blues and the Greens) unexpectedly joined forces. They changed their usual racing chants to a unified cry of "Nika!" (Greek for "Victory!" or "Conquer!").
Did you get that?
Opposing team fans, joined forces to create a unified attack on the institution.
In modern times, it seems the NFL wants this to happen, and are doing everything in their power to manipulate the outcomes of games— likely hoping for an event to occur that allows them to require more government subsidies than those they already get.
They don’t care about you and I, the players or teams, or their respective ability-based performance. They care about division, stoking anger, and the eventual outcome from their snake-like activities— being financially beneficial to them, more than if they’d just let teams play the game the way the fans expect.
Massive Cyberattack on blood banks in France, warms inventory to 110°C from -30°C.
Just prior to this attack, Cyber firm Claroty was caught remotely tampering with refer systems, hacking/hijacking temps in EU.
@grok, where (country) was this firm founded?
Country only!

@grok, what accounts on X should I tag to get some attention to this video I recorded the other day?

New footage from the Butler Staged Assassination Attempt.
Note: The Secret Service is not a joke - Trump's Secret Service detail was actively involved with the staging, and the 2 murders that resulted.
BREAKING: Newly released bodycam footage from the Butler, PA rally shows police officers losing it, slamming the Secret Service for ignoring their requests.
Holy sh*t.
"I f**king told them they needed to post the guys f**king over here... the Secret Service... I told them to post f**king guys over here," an officer was heard saying.
"What the f**k? I wasn't even concerned about it because I thought someone was on the roof," another officer said.
"Why were we not on the roof?"
The newly released footage also showed a new angle of Crooks' body on the roof.
The USSS is a total joke.
Data-centers could become prisons, an American future where capacity to house MILLIONS of inmates is our new reality.
• El Paso/Socorro, Texas: Warehouses purchased for a proposed 8,500-bed immigration detention complex.
• Roxbury, New Jersey: A warehouse purchased for $129.3 million for proposed conversion into immigration detention space.
• San Antonio, Texas: A 640,000-square-foot warehouse purchased for proposed conversion into a detention facility accommodating up to 1,500 people.
• Romulus, Michigan: A 261,000-square-foot warehouse purchased for $34.7 million for a proposed 500-bed detention facility.
• Oakwood, Georgia: A roughly 500,000-square-foot warehouse proposed for conversion into immigration detention space.
• Social Circle, Georgia: A million-square-foot warehouse purchased for $128.6 million for a proposed detention facility holding thousands.
‼️URGENT‼️
America may be building the infrastructure for mass incarceration under the banner of an AI boom — and waiting for proof of a coordinated plan could mean waiting until that infrastructure is already in place.
That is the danger I see in the data-center gold rush - an inevitable bubble burst that hands the federal government 5,000+ prepackaged, fully functioning prisons.
The scenario is straightforward: private capital finances a nationwide network of large, secured industrial buildings.
When AI revenues fail to justify the investments and ongoing costs of operating with quickly obsolete hardware, distressed facilities will become acquisition targets.
Only then will the Government step in, and infrastructure that was sold to communities as economic development, becomes available for an entirely different purpose.
Mass Detention.
A data center is not a turnkey prison.
But land, windowless buildings, out of sight of most public-view, utilities, and secured perimeters provide a great starting point for a bad future reality.
Granted, conversion requires money and political will. But, neither is an insurmountable obstacle for a government committed to expanding detention.
Seemingly unrelated, the public response (or lack thereof) to recent aggressive immigration enforcement, matters. The militarized and untrained immigration officers marching armed down the street, matters.
Every tolerated public abuse signals how much further authorities may be able to go than in the past.
It need not be an organized “test” to function as one. We have failed.
The danger is where these trajectories meet: obvious financially vulnerable infrastructure and a government already proven to be willing to expand its power to detain.
Just consider the hypothetical scale: 5,000 moderately sized facilities. 1,000 beds each.
Five. million. people. detained. simultaneously.
If they ever announced a plan to build thousands of prisons, and the public got a chance to resist… We would resist. The intent would be too obvious.
However, if they let private industry convince you to approve thousands of industrial developments individually, one by one, subsidized by capital markets, government loan guarantees, local tax-abatements, then the government can pursue quick-conversions later, and the fight begins with the buildings already standing.
If I’m not clear so far: I suspect the data-center boom is simply a Trojan horse for building mass-detention facilities.
Suspicion is not proof of a secret plan. It is a reason to investigate ownership, financing, government contracts, and any proposed changes of use—NOW.
The time to demand answers is BEFORE the purpose changes and the doors lock behind you.

Netanyahu announces that after Gaza he will transfer the war on West Bank
“I and Katz have reviewed a plan for a large-scale military operation that hasn't occurred in the West Bank since 1967, and we are the ones who will determine its timing.
The army will enter the neighborhoods from which the attackers originated, evacuate the residents, inspect every house, and destroy the infrastructure of terrorism. We are prepared for a large-scale operation in the West Bank.”

The Israeli Foreign Ministry is lying.
No coordination was required, and we were never told that it was. We were not in a restricted security area. We did not pass any checkpoints.
Palestinian farmers do not — and should not — need permits to harvest their own olive fields. But they fear doing so, because the IDF doesn’t protect them from settler violence.
We’re trying to model solidarity & co-existence between Jews and Palestinians, and to call attention to the horrors of the occupation. The Israeli government is trying to foment violence between Jews and Palestinians, and to make it impossible for Palestinians to harvest their olive groves, drive on their roads, or live in their homes.
This was not about harvesting olives.
It was about harvesting headlines.
Brad Lander’s latest stunt is nothing more than a calculated political provocation.
Lander traveled to a foreign country, deliberately entered a restricted security area, and participated in an unauthorized activity without the required coordination.
What makes this stunt even more outrageous is that his own team contacted Israeli representatives in the United States ahead of his visit and was explicitly informed that proper coordination with the relevant authorities was required.
He chose to ignore those instructions.
At a time of heightened security tensions, Israeli security forces have a responsibility to protect lives, prevent dangerous incidents, and maintain public order.
Had anyone been injured as a result of his reckless political theater, Lander would undoubtedly have been among the first to demand that Israeli authorities intervene and provide protection.
Brad Lander came looking for a confrontation. Now he is pretending to be its victim.

Now that @RepThomasMassie has named the two @CapitolPolice plainclothes counter-surveillance officers who "found" the DNC pipe b0mb, it's time to remind you that they never "looked" for the device. They went straight to it, with complete foreknowledge of its location ... then stopped looking for more.
The full video is attached. Also...
USCP Special Agents Don Hankins and Ronald Ridgley, who both work for the intelligence division of the Capitol Police, have never been subjected to "under oath" transcribed interviews because of the obstructionism of @SpeakerJohnson, @JudiciaryGOP, and USCP general counsel Thomas 'Tad' DiBiase.

I was checking bags at Kona Airport on The Big Island, Hawai’i… Then, this kid just pops through the bag conveyer.
Mild panic ensued, then he was just handed over to the first Hawaiian to claim him.

🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇱 Why would the IDF be the one digging through the rubble of a collapsed condo in Florida?
Former SEAL and McAfee bodyguard Jimmy Watson says McAfee had tweeted his three terabytes of files were stored at the Champlain Towers in Surfside, that the building fell just HOURS after McAfee was found hanged, and the strangest part of all... The IDF was sent in while nobody else was allowed to touch the collapse site.
The official reason was that Israeli citizens were among the missing and Israel's rescue unit is one of the best in the world.
McAfee spent his final years claiming he'd gotten inside government computer systems and walked away with evidence of corruption on powerful officials, and swore that if he ever turned up dead, it wouldn't be by his own hand.
What could've been in those files?

I am a Jew from Ireland too, daughter of a German born holocaust survivor. And I'm ashamed that Ireland played Israel in the first place. Israel has fuck all to do with me and is a genocidal ethno-supremacist nation. Am in awe of Gavin Bazunu. His moral clarity and immense bravery in standing up for innocent lives, despite the immense pressure and isolation he faced, is phenomenal. 'Never again' means never again, anywhere, ever.
