Hello, world. Something to show you. A teaser trailer for The Rash, a script I wrote this year for Onset Creative & Nicole Shanahan. The feature film is now in the financing phase. Interested investors may contact me by X DM for more info.
Enjoy. I think you'll get the picture.
The collective warmth of an aluminum rivet.
We are former CIA officers, FBI agents, diplomats, and military leaders who spent our careers defending America from global threats. But protecting our constitutional democracy isn't something we can do alone, defending democracy requires all of us.
Stand firm, get organized, and make your voice heard on November 3rd. VOTE for democracy. VOTE for freedom. VOTE for our future. Tap the link in our bio to check your registration, access essential resources, and build your voting plan today! #HoldFast #Vote
If a plane landed on the runway in my little country and this crew stepped out talking this way and making these expressions I'd man the battle stations right quick.

Much like I said on the Scott Adams School last week.
I think the people making money off of elections make sure the polls are close so they can squeeze every last dime out of the donors.
Then they take that $ and spend it on tv- which is basically lighting it on fire because tv ads don’t change the outcome of elections in the last 90 days.
@elonmusk, this isn't just opinion. 30 years of randomized controlled trials back it up. See Get Out the Vote by Donald Green & Alan Gerber (5th ed.), pp. 172–173.

We really want you to be there with us election night. I'm going to keep reminding you. I miss your company and we'll have a lot of fun together.
Tune in to America This Week on Election Night!
Join @walterkirn and me for an America This Week Reunion Special, as we watch returns and ponder the coming end of the world

This is absolutely true and @walterkirn is right. You see it in the media, polling, and betting markets.
Walter Kirn: Everything that happens before the election is a PSYOP.
KIRN: “Everything that happens, the polling, the rumors, the word of mouth, the social media posts, the trends, the little anecdotes that get repeated and go viral. Everything is subordinate to that election. And none of it is true in and of itself. It's all instrumental.”
“Not only don't I trust the polls, I do trust the polls. I trust them to be nudging people in all the ways that polls can for all the people who can pay for polls.”
“The news now is all about behavior modification. It's not about truth.”
For the next week, every poll or viral story you see, don't ask if it's true. Ask what it's trying to get you to do.

Rumor has it @walterkirn & @mtaibbi are getting the band back together next week, and I couldn't be happier. Their synergy is unexplainable, but incredibly powerful and insightful.
Here is a piece I wrote earlier this year on them-
On America This Week lawsonchapman.substack.com/p…
I'm deeply concerned about their "deep concern"
New: FBI agents have expressed deep concern that they could be ordered to take legally questionable steps to investigate dubious claims of election fraud, and state officials are wargaming how to deal with federal intervention. with @CarolLeonnig

This is so tortured it's actually tough to follow.

It's real. I know business owners there. And this devastating style of governance continues almost unchecked across the country. It's a zombie march without thought or reality testing.
Around half of Seattle businesses report that are considering moving or shrinking, blaming a business environment that they say is getting worse and don’t believe it looks like it will get better, according to a survey from the Downtown Seattle Association and Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce. kiro7.com/news/local/survey-…

This is what @walterkirn means when he says it's all a psyop.

I never said this. This is a Dolly Parton quote that I retweeted. Beware, if you use AI to do your research. Google Gemini is full of shit, and I’ve seen Grok lie too. I find it chilling.
I drove a Full Self Driving Tesla for the first time a few weeks ago.
I was very impressed.
I'm not getting any better at driving myself and it seems there's hope.

This is such a great, common-sense idea. I remember Palmer Luckey talking about this a few years ago, wondering whether it could be done at a competitive price point, while a lot of people were like, “What for?”
Now Anduril and Qualcomm are actually doing it — rebuilding an American computer manufacturing capability and reducing our dependence on Chinese supply chains.
And they’re doing it with their own money. Bravo.
The Flock-style systems are in place. The thoughtcrimes have been defined. The COVID era precedents for controls on movement & commerce have been established. The willingness of many citizens to serve as voluntary lookouts & tipsters for officialdom has been demonstrated.
Ready?
You would have to lack curiosity, I think, not to wonder what an extremely thoughtful and powerful man who is regularly accused of being a version of the Antichrist has to say about the Antichrist after giving much thought to the subject.
For months, everyone has been talking about Peter Thiel’s secretive Antichrist lectures in Nashville. @gb_rango attended all four off-the-record lectures, held inside the historic Grand Lodge of Tennessee Free and Accepted Masons.
Now, with Thiel’s blessing: a comprehensive, firsthand reconstruction of his sprawling theory of the end times, from AI doomers and one-world government to the fate of America.

Thanks for having me on, Scott Adams School. Always a pleasure.
