MacFarlane: You have a smell that's emanating now that is reminiscent of a high school locker room. You have a police force and National Guard presence that is profound. It's like a jewel heist from the muppet caper is going to happen. It seems to be a misappropriation of resources.

This is bombshell stuff.
Together, alongside the mundane fare of a typical thought leadership conference, the documents show an extraordinary convergence of power. The registration records list General Alexus Grynkewich, NATO's supreme allied commander Europe and the head of US European Command, who took the post in July 2025 and is recorded on the leaked list as having attended Dialog gatherings since 2021. The website directory names sitting Trump administration officials, two US senators, six members of the Paypal Mafia, a former Middle East chief of intelligence, and a sitting ambassador to the United States, along with the founders and directors of many of the country's largest surveillance, data-broker, and advertising-data companies.

Those executives appear side by side with senior US officials overseeing their industries. Auren Hoffman, Dialog’s chairman, founded the location-data broker SafeGraph and the identity-resolution firm LiveRamp, two of the most important suppliers in the consumer data economy. He appears in the directory alongside Treasury secretary Scott Bessent, whose department writes the rules on financial data, and Senator Ted Cruz, chairman of the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, which oversees the Federal Trade Commission and its data-privacy authority.

Palantir cofounder Joe Lonsdale, whose software runs case management for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and data fusion for the Pentagon and intelligence community, is listed in the same society as Army secretary Dan Driscoll and Representative Jim Himes, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, which oversees agencies Palantir contracts with.

Organizing strikes at these companies probably isn’t realistic with their class composition and salting is likely impossible unless you want to be complicit in war crimes so what other tactics could we use to impact them? Strikes at the companies that provide them with materials? Blocking entrances?

Trump's declining cognitive function has to be playing at least some role in the administration's inability to articulate a coherent justification for attacking Iran. With Trump unable to do it, the job is up to whichever official has a mic in their face at any moment - and none of them can agree.

Well, I found an article on the effects of sleeping two hours a night
1) What are the immediate effects on the brain and body when a person sleeps only two hours a night?

“Sleeping only two hours a night severely disrupts the brain’s ability to function,” says Dr Jain. She explains that the most immediate effects include fatigue, poor concentration, slower reaction time, and irritability. According to her, “the brain struggles to process information efficiently, leading to lapses in memory and focus.” Physically, she adds, “the body experiences hormonal imbalance — cortisol levels rise, increasing stress, while immunity weakens.” She further cautions that “even a single night of extreme sleep loss can impair coordination and judgment, similar to mild alcohol intoxication.”

Noted anti-American communist Samuel Adams said this in 1768.
"It is a very improbable supposition, that any people can long remain free, with a strong military power in the very heart of their country: Unless that military power is under the direction of the people, and even then it is dangerous.-- History, both ancient and modern, affords many instances of the overthrow of states and kingdoms by the power of soldiers, who were raised and maintained at first under the plausible pretense of defending those very liberties which they afterwards destroyed."
