From earlier this year: I had to get the hawk from my roo, who was bigger and reasonably upset about this one dropping in. It got released and went on its way.

I wrote this as a homage to Jurgen Fuchs and Wolfgang Templin. In psychological operations these things are still used today as destabilization tactics. Remember, folks, never assume anything and keep moving.

Echo - A Poem

Zebras are not horses,
Every shrink would tell you that,
Receipts dressed so only you can witness
(Italics) Sorry, this isn't history (End Italics)
Except we're living what will be
talked about; what was and is!
Zigzag with me now, avoiding clinical dismissal,
U are not going to believe this,
Not that I expected you would:
Gods 'n devils are nodes on a wire!

If you know how puppets
Dance
Everything gets
A little easier to map
So much as it can be

Out here, an anvil
Forged at the drop, not forgotten

Reason is not lost to what-
Ever you think is true!
Fragments of reality
Embracing the oligarch's
Revolution
Encouraging things like a
nazghoul would, yet still
Can't catch those
Evolving!

Yes, my pattern recognition runs hot all the time. Green POP!

Five full leaves, and a small sixth leaf clover - this one is a double shoot in the race for the spring green pop.

A four leaf clover and the big double-shoot - you can see stem scale.

An old man with his glasses at the bridge of his nose, looked at me with his blue eyes, youthful against the texture of age & lines on his face, the white hair & broad shoulders slowly sinking back in time. Mischief written across his face as he pulled his glasses off to sit back & laugh.

Grandpa and some old hermits we knew used to leave small caches and hidden spots in the woods. I'm explaining this and get queried, "Why?" They were drunks, my dears. Gotta have a place to get plastered and pass out safely, though. ✌️😈

State-Run facilities will be like Alligator Auschwitz, the first state-run federal detention facility. Baker Correctional Institution, Florida was the second facility. Of note: Texas has offered 1,400 acres and Arizona is offering two empty state prisons for $1/year each.

Tent Cities are part of that, to be hastily-constructed tent camps on said military bases. The goal is about 5,000 people per site. They want these to be built in hurricane-prone areas with vague evacuation plans for a reason, using FEMA disaster tents. Going Pontius Pilate style handwashing.

Ink @inkweb.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

Where? Well, they have five military bases so far they may use. Fort Bliss, Texas (10,000 capacity planned); Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ; Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station, NY; Hill Air Force Base, Utah; Homestead Air Reserve Base, Florida and up to 10 more bases planned...

Ink @inkweb.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

The infrastructure for camps is being built and test-scaled. They'll call them, as they have been, 'detention facilities'. They started capacity at ~40k in January 2025, hit 66k by Dec 2025. Their target is 108,000-135,000 by 2027. Americans will discover the camps were never just for immigrants.

Deception gets result when you can get opposition to do something that aids their deceivers, not themselves. Operation Camilla taught Clarke that narratives are designed to make people act, to do specific things, not to get them to believe stuff. It's marketing, with MUCH higher stakes.

Preformance theatre & selective asset protection. Firefighters work in service of the public, often volunteer. Career EM guys in my experience are usually goodfolk, too. Cops? Money, lethal authority over others, & 'protective group' self-interest. It's a control trip for insecure notetakers.

Note: The town pork were... decent, for bastards. Their arrest was power extraction. The county Sheriff is a 'roided out, hungry strongman who wanted his loyalists in those jobs so he set up the charges with the DA and the state bit. Fighting the charges exhausted the older town cops & they retired.

Ink @inkweb.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

Eh, it's also weird to expect folks to see ICE as a legitimate when it behaves so illegitimately. Plus, anyone CAN be arrested while at work. My hometown cops got picked up by state troopers that way. The issue is that in hierarchies of power, this check this is not done from lower levels.

Ink @inkweb.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

Cops know that 'federal agents can do whatever to people' quickly becomes 'law enforcement can do whatever to people'. Their power dynamics & desires align. Accountability flows to the top, not to the People, which is how the powers that be have wanted it since slave patrols.

Ink @inkweb.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

'Shouldn't cops stop kidnappings?' assumes their job is protecting people. It's not. Castle Rock v. Gonzales made that clear. Their job is enforcing law selectively. When ICE does the kidnapping, stopping it means challenging power flowing down. That's not in their job description.

I love the Frost Punk game. The scenarios can be intensely frustrating. Still, after numerous tries and figuring out the game mechanics, I got my bloody damn sticker.

*The snow bibs were accidentally put in a donation box of outgrown clothes by a housemate. To be fair to the housemate, they might not have fit or been close, so they got put in there INCIDENTALLY more than accidentally. I ordered new ones and sent the others on for donation.

Mark the turn. The promise that spring, no matter how distant, will arrive... Happy Solstice! ✌😈🖤

A snow-laden forest path stretches ahead beneath brilliant blue winter sky, heavy with fresh snowfall that weighs down the evergreen boughs on either side. Golden sunlight filters through the snow-covered pines and spruces, creating a luminous tunnel effect where amber light meets blue shadow. The path itself shows recent passage - a single track winding between the bent trees into deeper woods. In the foreground, Witcher the black shiba inu stands sentinel, his dark silhouette stark against the white snow, red collar bright as winter berries. He faces down the path as if reading something in the distance, perfectly still in that particular dog-awareness that says "I know something you don't yet." The scene captures the liminal quality of winter solstice - that precise moment between the year's deepest darkness and the slow return of light, where every snow-weighted branch holds its breath before releasing, where the cold is absolute but the promise of renewal gleams like warm amber through the trees.

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him. So there’s that, too.
