Before IBM, there were people.

The 1890 Census counted 62,947,714 human beings—using one machine-readable punch card per person.

A constitutional public responsibility helped plant a private technology empire.

This is where the technology family tree begins. 🌳🧾

Dear World 🌎

My #USA tax dollars fund wars whether I consent or not.

Apparently, I’m complicit by payroll deduction.

I do not like it. I do not consent. 😑

🚨 #AI does not know American history.

It knows the “part” somebody digitized.

As of June 2026, NARA reported:

📦 12.28 billion estimated textual pages 🖥️ 475 million scans online 🔴 Only 3.87% scanned

“Unscanned” doesn’t mean secret.

Many collections are described in a catalog—but their actual pages remain inside physical boxes.

So when Google or AI says, “No evidence found,” what it may really mean is:

“No evidence found in the tiny digital fraction I could search.” 🔍

Why?

#FollowTheMoney #DARPA #NARA #AI

AT&T gained access to up to $6.5 billion in #FirstNet payments—and 20 MHz of valuable public spectrum.

Yes, AT&T accepted major investment and performance obligations.

But government didn’t merely buy phone service.

It helped create AT&T’s nationwide public-safety market.

#ATT #FollowTheMoney

I investigated 21 tech giants. 🔍

The same magic trick appeared every time: 🪄

🔬 The public funds the research.

🧑‍🔧 Trains the workers.

🏗️ Builds the infrastructure.

🎲 Absorbs the risk.

🏛️ Then often becomes the customer.

🌐 DARPA-funded research helped lay the groundwork for the internet.

🏢 Private companies commercialized it.

📈 Investors kept the patents, platforms, power and equity.

🎩 Then a billionaire walked onstage and called himself “self-made.” 😂

That isn’t a free market.

It’s public money wearing a private-sector costume. 🇺🇸💰🎭

Tech didn’t steal the world. Humans traded it away — one convenience at a time.

We didn’t lose third places by accident.

Pattern, every time:

1.	Public space exists
2.	It’s underfunded
3.	Labeled “mismanaged”
4.	Authority steps in
5.	Access tightens
6.	Rebranded as “progress”

Result:

•	Fewer places to belong
•	More isolation
•	More screens

Tech didn’t replace third places. It benefited from their destruction.

Screens scale. Parks don’t.

Data monetizes. Belonging doesn’t.

⚡️ NEW: Federal government just terminated the lease for Washington, D.C.’s public golf courses — throwing municipal golf into chaos and clearing a path for a Trump-branded remake.

What happened 👇

• The U.S. Department of the Interior abruptly ended a 50-year lease with National Links Trust, the nonprofit steward of East Potomac, Langston, and Rock Creek Park golf courses • Interior claims the nonprofit failed to meet capital-improvement timelines and owes up to $8.8M in rent • National Links Trust disputes both claims, citing $8.5M already invested and rent offsets approved by the National Park Service

⚠️ Why this matters

These are public golf courses on federal land — designed for affordable, accessible community use, not luxury branding.

Yet: • The termination was led by Interior — not the Park Service that signed the lease • Renovations at Rock Creek Park (a National Register of Historic Places site) are now suspended • Trump has reportedly explored rebranding East Potomac as “Washington National Golf Course” • Talks allegedly included elite designers and even hosting Ryder Cup–level events

Translation: Public land → private vision → premium access

🧱 Pattern alert

• Unelected federal authority intervenes • Community nonprofit sidelined • “Failure to comply” narrative deployed • High-value public asset repositioned • Access + affordability put at risk

This isn’t about golf. It’s about who controls public space — and who it’s ultimately for.

💬 From the nonprofit:

“Our mission is affordable and accessible golf… we can’t let these places sit closed and unavailable to the community.”

Meanwhile, dirt from White House construction is already being dumped on the course itself.

👀 Follow the incentives.

“Follow the money”

Meaning: Trace financial incentives to uncover real power

What it exposes: Corruption doesn’t hide in speeches. It hides in balance sheets.

📊 PLANETARY GARRISON STATE — $2.7T spent yearly on weapons. Only 20% of humanity lives Free. Defense is the excuse, control is the function. #FollowTheMoney

Most governments don’t just fear external enemies — they fear their own citizens. Militaries back domestic surveillance, emergency laws, paramilitary policing, and protest suppression.

Arms companies made $679B in 2024. War isn’t tragedy to the system — it’s revenue. #MilitaryIndustrialComplex

175 of 195 nations maintain armed forces. 60+ still conscript citizens. Internal compliance is built into state power.

Freedom doesn’t come from elections alone. It comes from removing fear-based governance.

📜 NOSTR POST — “WHY MANY PEOPLE OPPOSE ISRAEL’S ACTIONS (CLEAR & FACTUAL)”

People aren’t angry at Jewish people. They’re angry at what the Israeli government and military do.

Those are not the same thing — and confusing them protects injustice.

The real reasons are simple:

💣 Civilian deaths Military strikes repeatedly kill civilians, including children—confirmed by international aid agencies, journalists, and UN reporting.

🏘️ Home seizures & evictions Palestinian families are removed from homes in East Jerusalem and the West Bank to make room for Israeli settlers.

🚧 Occupation & control Millions of Palestinians live under Israeli military rule without sovereignty or full political rights over the power that governs them.

🧱 Gaza blockade Israel controls Gaza’s borders, airspace, and sea access, restricting movement of people and humanitarian supplies and causing long-term humanitarian crisis.

⚖️ Unequal legal systems Israeli settlers live under civilian law; Palestinians live under military law in the same territory — a widely documented two-tier system.

🗺️ Settlement expansion Settlements continue to expand on land internationally designated for a future Palestinian state — in violation of international law rulings.

🤝 Broken peace efforts Negotiations stall while territorial expansion continues, creating widespread belief that peace talks lack good faith.

💔 Generational trauma Over 75 years of displacement, war, and daily restrictions have left families trapped in cycles of poverty, grief, rage, and despair.

⸻

💰 FOLLOW THE MONEY (THE PART MANY NOTICE)

People also become angry when they follow the money:

🇺🇸 Massive U.S. funding The U.S. government sends billions of dollars every year in military aid to Israel — more than to any other foreign country — directly funding weapons used in these operations.

🏭 Weapons profits Major U.S. arms manufacturers profit from the continual supply of weapons to Israel, benefiting financially from prolonged conflict.

🗳️ Powerful lobbying groups Pro-Israel lobby organizations openly lobby U.S. politicians to maintain unconditional political and military support, regardless of human-rights violations.

💼 Political protection U.S. vetoes at the UN regularly shield Israel from consequences — while aid continues even after civilian deaths.

⸻

✳️ The most important truth:

Criticizing Israeli government funding or policy ≠ antisemitism.

Judaism ≠ Israeli state policy Jews ≠ Israeli military actions Human-rights criticism ≠ hate

Many Jewish activists also oppose these policies publicly.

⸻

✅ What most critics actually demand:

• Civilian protection • End forced evictions • End the blockade • Equal legal rights • End the occupation • Accountability for weapons funding • Genuine peace

⸻

Opposition exists because of actions and financing — not race or religion.

When governments receive unlimited funding and protection for violating human rights, anger is a rational response.

⸻

Wall Street → Treasury (Paulson, Mnuchin, Rubin)

Raytheon → Defense (Esper)

ExxonMobil → State Dept (Tillerson)

Eli Lilly → HHS (Azar)

Google → Tech policy (Schmidt, Smith)

America isn’t “run by government.”

It’s managed by transplanted corporate executives regulating the industries they came from.

Been in one lifelong

A long, long time ago, I can still remember How the U.S. used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people prance And maybe they'd be kinder for a while

But the Persian Gulf made me shiver With every news source I’d devour Bad news at our doorsteps I couldn't take one more look I can remember how I cried When I read about Americans side But something changed me deep inside The day the people took sides

(America’s Great Divide)

So, bye, bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye Singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die"

==== cut out So, why, why, Miss America Tried, Drove my Youth to The Couth, cause The Youth was Truth. And them good old boys were Spewing’ Hatred and lies Singin', "This'll be the day that they die This'll be the day the U.S. dies” === end cut

Did you see the looks of judge? Did you shoot for faith in God above If the Bible tells you so? Now do you believe in love and soul Can humans save our morals, Bro And can you teach me how to Breathe real slow?

Version 2

(And do you have love in humans above If the logic tells you so? Do you believe in lock 'n' load? Can politics save your tormented soul? And can you teach me how to Breathe real slow?)

***********END VIDEO NOW!!!

Well, I know that you're in love with him Cause I saw you preaching of the sins We both kicked off our shoes Then I live those prisms and views

I was a lonely teenager humpin’ ruck With a pink complexion & an Army Truck But I knew I was out of luck The day my battle buddy tried

And do you have love in humans above If the logic tells you so? Do you believe in lock 'n' load? Can politics save your tormented soul? And can you teach me how to Breathe real slow?

I started singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie" Drove my Heavy to The Bevy, but The Bevy was dry Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye Singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die"

———break here ——

I started singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie" Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dryness Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye Singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die"

(I saw a mall shooter dead on the tiles With a brink complexion and 4 deaths Picked up The day the mall boy died)

I started singin', "Cry-Cry -Miss Liberty dies Drove my Scary to The Friendly, but The Friendly was dry Them good old boys were speaking Freedom Inside Singin', "This'll be the day that I cry This'll be the day that I cry"

——- End break—-

Now for ten years we've been on our own And WEALTH grows fat on a spinnin’ stone But that's not how it used to be When the jester sang for the king and queen In a coat he borrowed from Times Obscene And a choice that came for you and me

/////Now for many years we've been on our own And wealth grows fat on a spinning’ stone But that's not how it used to be When the diverter came for the dumb and the green In a look he brought from history seen \\\ End Break

Oh, and while the Queen was looking down The jesters grew its horny crowd The boardroom was concerned No perfect was discerned And why Freedoms Bled, dumb like a Fox Puppeteers practiced in the dark And we watched movies in the park The day humanity died

I started singin', "Cry-Cry -Miss Liberty dies Drove my Scary to The Friendly, but The Friendly was dry Them good old boys were speaking Freedom Inside Singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die"

Helter Skelter in the summer swelter

• Helter Skelter on the world shelter The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
• the banks flew off with a bailout schedule Eight miles high and fallin' fast
• Rates sky high and crawling fast It landed fowl on the grass
• It branded scowls on the class The players tried for a forward pass
• The day traders tried for a forward mast With the “less-than” on the sidelines in a cast Now, the half-time BLAIR was sweet perfume While the PLAYBOYS played a CHARGING tune We all got up to parlance Oh, but we never got the chance

'Cause the SPEAKERS tried to take the field The marching HATE refused to yield Do you recall what was revealed The day HUMANITY died?

((And do you have love in humans above If the logic tells you so? Do you believe in lock 'n' load? Can politics save your tormented soul? And can you teach me how to Breathe real slow?)

We started singin', "Bye-bye, List Americans lies” Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye And singin', "This'll be the day that they die This'll be the day that YOU die"

And now: Oh, then now , we are all in one place All Generations lost in cyberspace With no time left to start again So come on, Attack be nimble, Attack be quick Attack Trolls rage on a constant uptick

• Cause hate is divisions best friend

Oh, and as I watched them on the stage

My hands were clenched in fists of rage

• My heart broken open in twists to engage

No angel born in Hell

• No angles born in Hell

Could break that Satan's spell

• Could wake Ms. INFORMATION’s swell

And as the flames climbed high into the night

•        Claims climbed high into the Sites
  

To light the sacrificial rite

• to light the superficial spite I saw Satan laughing with delight
• I saw Liars laughing with delight

The day the music died

• the day my free speech died

He was singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Spy" Drove my words to The online, but The online was sly Them good old boys were Spittin’ shadow bans & lies And singin', "This'll be the day that she dies This'll be the day that I die"

===

I met a girl who sang the blues

• I was a girl who claimed the news And I asked her for some happy news
• And I freely gave all some happy views But she just smiled and turned away
• But wealth just smirked and pushed me away I went down to the sacred store
• I went down to that sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before
• Where I’d known the truth years before

But the man there said the music wouldn't play

• But the pain there said the humans wouldn’t stay And in the streets, the children screamed
• and in the boards, the children dreamed The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
• Unkind bothers lied and the poets unseen But not a word was spoken
• But no human word was posted The church bells all were broken
• The brain cells all were stolen And the three things I admire most
• The You, Me and the We They caught the last train for the coast
• They took the last brain for the roast The day Human Kind died

And they were singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie"

• And they were singin’ Hi-High, Miss Love A.I. Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry
• Drove my brainy to the Query but the Query was a lie

And Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye

• And Them good old rich were drinkin water in the sky Singin', "This'll be the day that they die This'll be the day that Earth dies”

=====

They were singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie"

• They were leaving’: “Bye, Bye Blue Marble Sky” Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry
• Road my wealth to the rocket, where to space we will fly Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye Singin', "This'll be the day the poor die" nostr: https://blossom.primal.net/c12bce2441f4572256b3f4cf0b88e91ec976d964fa4dcda1f360831976859a92.png
