US ICE spent $16.7M on 6,000 www.complianttechnologies.net SHOCK GLOVES. Equipping agents to secretly electrocute untried humans,turns policing into horror. Possible inflicting immediate torture, PTSD and vital risks. Unlike US force, the EU prioritizes dignity and respectful identity checks. 👀
‘Traditional’ non-lethal weapons, such as Tasers or pepper spray, carry an inherent mechanism of accountability: their deployment is overt, visible, and easily captured on camera. 

Electro-shock gloves subvert this transparency. By rendering the delivery of high-voltage pain as discreet as a touch, they allow force to be applied without the optical signature of violence.

This technological drift signals a deeper institutional shift. When state agencies invest heavily in tools engineered for pain-compliance, the contract between the state and the individual undergoes a fundamental mutation. 

Democratic consent, rooted in institutional legitimacy and procedural dialogue, yields to the calculus of physical coercion. For those subjected to it, often prior to any judicial process, the psychological toll is profound. What is framed by bureaucracy as efficient de-escalation represents, in practice, a quiet retreat from democratic accountability.
Identity checks in the civilization … US identity checks… 
Hidden faces, due to accountability?

° U.S. 30-year Treasuries yield 5.22%, highest since 2001. ° U.S. now spends more on interest than defense as debt hits historic levels. ° A decades-long pattern of financial recklessness: debt, failed ventures, and bankruptcies. SEE ALT TEXT in Graph!

The US Department of the Treasury has been forced to borrow at steep rates on the capital market. 

On Thursday, $25bn in 30-year Treasuries were auctioned at a yield of 5.22%. 
Washington’s highest borrowing cost since 2001. 

Investors are similarly demanding substantially higher yields across other long-term maturities.

These elevated rates pose a major headache for Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and President Donald Trump. 

In the run-up to November’s midterm elections, both would like to see mortgage, auto, and student loan rates decline. Yet these market rates, pegged to sovereign bond yields, continue to rise. For a used-car loan, rates of 14% or higher are no longer the exception.

High debt and persistent inflation
Investors are demanding ever greater compensation to lend to the US government, unnerved by a surging debt load and stubbornly high inflation. 

Consumer price increases have exceeded targets since early 2021. Because fixed-coupon bonds lose real value under inflation, buyers in the secondary market demand lower prices, driving effective yields upward.

Many economists, including several within the Federal Reserve, believe additional rate hikes are required to return inflation to the 2% target. 
However, Chair Kevin Warsh, who took office earlier this year, resists such action. "The impression is growing that Warsh wants to avoid a conflict with Donald Trump, who strongly opposes higher rates," notes Charlie Lay, an analyst at Commerzbank. To Mr Lay, this signals renewed pressure on Fed independence, further fueling upward momentum in yields.


A widening deficit

On Wednesday, markets faced another setback with news of a sharply expanded budget deficit for July. The Treasury reported an unprecedented monthly deficit of $432bn, nearly 50% higher than in July 2025. A Supreme Court ruling forcing the administration to refund unlawfully collected import duties contributed significantly to the surge…

Demis Hassabis has a plan to harness AI safely
https://economist.com/business/2026/07/14/demis-hassabis-has-a-plan-to-harness-ai-safely

Extract from The Economist:

The Governance of AI: Sir Demis Hassabis’s Proposal

The global race for artificial intelligence has prompted calls for a coherent regulatory framework, with Sir Demis Hassabis, co-founder of Google DeepMind, offering one of the industry’s most detailed blueprints. Writing online and in an interview with The Economist, Sir Demis advocates for a dedicated American regulatory agency modeled after the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Funded by the industry but possessing state-delegated enforcement powers, this independent body would evaluate the safety of advanced "frontier" models before public release, bypassing the slowness of traditional government bureaucracy and the paralysis of international consensus-building.
Under Sir Demis’s scheme, oversight would focus on capability thresholds across specific benchmarks—such as cyber-attack capabilities or a model's propensity to disobey instructions—rather than raw computing power. While acknowledging that execution is fraught with difficulty and that urgent risks are mounting, he maintains that American leadership is essential to establishing global norms, as foreign entities will align with US standards to retain access to its technology and market.

Ethics under Pressure: Inside Google DeepMind’s Military Concessions


While corporate leaders present a polished front on responsible governance, internal accounts reveal a starkly different reality regarding tech giants and military contracts. Writing after his resignation from Google DeepMind, researcher Alex Turner details how the company abandoned its ethical commitments to secure lucrative defense deals. According to Turner, Google’s willingness to supply Cloud and Gemini AI services to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Pentagon occurred despite grave concerns over human rights abuses, domestic surveillance, and the removal of contractual safeguards against lethal autonomous weapons systems.
Turner's account highlights systemic institutional failure in the face of governmental pressure. Attempts to rally high-profile AI safety advocates—including Turing Award winners and senior DeepMind figures who had previously pledged never to support "killer robots"—yielded little effective resistance. Despite formal counterproposals and internal warnings presented directly to Chief Executive Sir Demis Hassabis and Chief Scientist Jeff Dean, Google ultimately signed military agreements with weaker restrictions than its competitors, signaling that corporate ethics remain subordinate to defense contracts and commercial imperatives.

‘THE 'FREE USA' is under pressure: According to the latest news, the White House has subpoenaed journalists at, of course, The #NYTimes. A Justice Department spokesman declared that they are going after their sources. Silencing the press was step one of Nazi Gleichschaltung in 1933. ALT
White House Subpoenas Journalists
The White House has subpoenaed four New York Times journalists. The move follows an article published this week regarding safety issues with President Trump’s new government plane.
Trump arrived at the NATO summit in Ankara this week aboard the new aircraft, which was a gift from Qatar. However, he departed on a different plane just a day later. The New York Times reported this was because the aircraft failed to meet safety standards, a claim the White House denies.
A Justice Department spokesperson stated that the investigation does not target the journalists, but rather their sources.In 1933, the very first step of the Nazi dictatorship was silencing the critical press (Gleichschaltung).
They framed the media the 'lying press' to gain total control over the flow of information.
When today's government hunts down journalists' anonymous sources, that warning sign from the past flashes once again.
It breeds fear, and fear smothers the truth.
In Nazi Germany, the rule of law was destroyed. Recently, the White House also removed the independent leadership of the federal Election Assistance Commission for resisting partisan demands.
Was this a warning to the present day left unheeded?Books in a Dutch bookstore
