Epstein's sexual crimes are a matter of "national security"--? whaat? some curious business here.
Speaker Mike Johnson claims the Epstein files can’t be released unredacted because they contain intelligence-agency material that falls under national security.
He says it’s dangerous to force the DOJ to declassify documents they didn’t create, especially when they involve other agencies like the CIA or NSA.
Johnson warns that releasing the Epstein files unredacted would put national security at risk.

“A sane person to an insane society must appear insane.”
Kurt Vonnegut, born on this day in 1922. His greatest book is his 1969 anti-war novel Slaughterhouse-Five, which drew on his real-life experience surviving the Allied firebombing of Dresden as a prisoner of war.

The oldest sites in the Americas are likely underwater.
Some 18,000 years ago, sea levels were likely some 400 feet lower, essentially meaning Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, and other states along all the US had some shorelines over a hundred miles out from today's coasts in some areas. Florida, for example, was twice as large then. Whatever evidence that still exists of the oldest sites in the Americas likely lies buried under sand and silt in the submerged areas. There is ongoing research in this area. Here is a bit: mfaught.org/wp-content/uploa…

"A German-American billionaire from South Africa is plotting with the Freemasons to raise up a Protestant antipope in Nashville" is the sort of thing you'd expect to find in a bad Walker Percy imitator, and yet the Lord Himself has written it on the canvas of history.
NEW: In leaked recordings, Peter Thiel argued that Nashville should be a moral alternative to Pope Leo XIV and the Catholic Church, which he called “a dubious ally” against a hypothetical future Antichrist Democratic president.
“America is the last and final form of the Roman Empire,” Thiel told a closed-door crowd in Nashville’s Masonic Temple. “There is no successor.”
He has attacked Pope Leo XIV at least four times this year, once calling him “a useful idiot for the CCP.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-…

Gratitude post: People keep reaching out to say they bought my book and it's so exciting that Incurable Graphomania continues to sell three years later. All my life I wrote in secret, so shy about my "time-wasting hobby," until Apocalypse Confidential ran my first short story ever published, The Taco Bell in the Center of the Pentagon. I'm so grateful they gave my manuscript a chance when nobody knew who I was. I woke up at 4 every day and wrote these stories on stolen time; at work, on the bus, in hospitals and chemotherapy waiting rooms, and put my whole heart into this book. I will never forget the kindness shown to me by @blauer_geist , @20gaShotgun, and @TomWill72550626, who worked so hard to make my dream come true

The right-wing Anakin posting does make a lot of sense as it combines many of the Right’s core preoccupations: getting groomed; killing your wife; working for an insane, octogenarian tyrant; being hated by your children; losing and dying

As I was saying, this really is Elon’s endgame. He wants to be the evil emperor in every science fiction story.
Many of the richest man’s so-called “visionary ideas” came from a specific series of books by socialist sci-fi author Iain M Banks.
Neuralink, human-AI societies, “universal high income”… all fanfic.
And surprise: Elon’s modeling himself on the bad guy—who tortures people in digital prisons called Hells.

Peter Thiel, viewing democracy & women's suffrage as incompatible w/ capitalism, sought to sabotage the democratic process. His 2012 backing of Ron Paul had less to do w/ libertarian ideals than exploiting his campaign to turn anti-establishment anger into a neo-reactionary tool.
