ABC7 obtained a letter sent directly to California Attorney General Rob Bonta warning him that Andy Duong — now federally indicted in a major bribery and corruption case — had secretly recorded him in a compromising situation and planned to use the footage for BLACKMAIL! The May 2024 letter from businessman Mario Juarez laid it out clearly. It told Bonta that Duong “has a recording of you in a compromising situation” and that he routinely recorded elected officials without their knowledge for later use in blackmail. This is the same Duong crime family that was deeply embedded with Bonta. They called him brother. They partied with him. They sat courtside together at Warriors games. Then the FBI raided them, and the indictments followed. Five months after receiving that letter, Bonta’s reelection campaign began spending campaign funds on private lawyers from one of the most expensive firms in the state. The total reached four hundred and sixty nine thousand dollars. Four hundred and sixty nine thousand dollars. Paid by the Attorney General of California while dealing with a blackmail threat tied to a federally indicted donor network. No one spends that kind of money on elite legal protection unless the situation is extremely serious. The top law enforcement officer in the largest state in America was lawyering up because one of his own donors allegedly had compromising footage of him. The letter is real. The warning about the video is real. The four hundred and sixty nine thousand dollars in campaign spending is real. All of it is now public.

#NickReiner was diagnosed with schizophrenia. That’s the new reporting from #TMZ — and it changes the frame on everything we thought we knew about the murders of #RobReiner and #MicheleReiner. Sources with direct knowledge say Nick was under the care of a psychiatrist and had recently been treated at a Los Angeles facility that specializes in mental illness and substance abuse. A facility that charges seventy thousand dollars a month. Three to four weeks before the killings, doctors changed his medications, and his behavior became, quote, “erratic and dangerous.” One source said he was “out of his head.” His substance abuse was reportedly making the schizophrenia worse. And based on what’s coming out now, we’re almost certainly looking at a not guilty by reason of insanity plea. But here’s where I need someone to explain something to me. If you’re paying seventy thousand dollars a month for psychiatric care — the cost of a luxury car, every thirty days — and the doctors treating your son are actively adjusting his medications because he’s becoming more unstable, why is that patient discharged back into the care of a seventy-seven-year-old man and his wife? What exactly does seventy grand buy you if it doesn’t buy supervised housing during a medication crisis? What does it buy you if the clinical response to “he’s becoming more erratic and dangerous” is “send him home to his elderly parents”? The system saw this coming. The doctors saw this coming. Someone made the call that Rob and Michele Reiner were equipped to manage a schizophrenic patient in active crisis. That decision got them killed. Seventy thousand dollars a month. And the only people providing round-the-clock care were the victims.

Jeff Bezos explains to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez how billionaires are created: providing at least a billion dollars in value to society -- the opposite of exploitation. Bezos: "Let me give you a simple example. Let’s say you start a burger joint, and you have 10 employees, and you make a little bit of money.” SORKIN: “Right.” Bezos: “Until you have — this is — this just one — one outlet. And by the way, these are the most delicious burgers in the world. People love your burgers, Andrew. And so then, you open a second outlet —” SORKIN: “Right.” Bezos: “— and now you’re making a little bit more money, and you have 20 employees. Nd you open a third outlet. By the time you’ve opened a thousand outlets, you are a billionaire.” SORKIN: “Right.” Bezos: “And by the way, this is a real life story, it happens all the time, it’s In-N-Out Burger, it’s Raising Cane’s Chicken. At what point did that money all of a sudden become unethical, or it didn’t? There was one outlet, and then there were two, and then there were three. What you’re doing — the way — the way you make a billion dollars, or a hundred million dollars, or 10 million dollars, or anything, is you create a service that people love. And if millions of people choose your service, you’re going to end up with a billion dollars.” SORKIN: “Right.” Bezos: “And you can, you know, just try it with a chicken franchise.” SORKIN: “Do you think though —” Bezos: “But your chicken has to be good.”

February 2025: - Five million dollars. For five million dollars, it can be yours. This is the very first copy. Do you know what it is? - A gold card? - Yes, a gold one. The 'Trump Gold Card'. - Who's the first buyer? - Me. - And the second? - I don't know. I was the first. They'll go on sale in two weeks, even sooner. Cool, right? April 2026: - You'll never guess how many 'gold cards' the Trump administration sold. Remember that bullshit? The Trump Gold Card? He had a genius idea about how to pay off our national debt back then. Offer the world's richest people to move to the US for just five million dollars. The White House turned it into a spectacle, even giving rapper Nicki Minaj an 'honorary' card. And soon, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick revealed on a podcast how many of these cards he'd already managed to sell. March 2025: - By the way, I've already sold a thousand of them. There are 37 million people worldwide who can afford it. - Holy shit! 37 million! And how many do you expect to sell? - The president thinks we'll easily sell a million. April 2026: - I sold a thousand in just one day. Multiply that by the number of days that have passed since then. That's trillions of dollars in revenue! With all this money from foreign rich people, we could've paid off all our debts instantly! The problem is, we've only managed to find out how many of these cards were actually sold. How many do you think? How many gold cards has the White House 'delivered' to happy consumers? Just one. That same Lutnick who bragged about a thousand cards sold in one day has now admitted that this card has only gone to one single person so far. And not for five million, but for just one. Of course, Lutnick added that there are thousands of people in line. But so far, it all looks like an ABSOLUTE FRAUD. Far from the first one perpetrated by Donald Trump. And definitely not the last one.

Jeff Bezos looked at a government waiting room and priced it at a hundred billion dollars. Bezos: “This is a $100 billion business, by the way. This is huge business.” That number is not ambition. It is a measurement. A company that size does not create a hundred billion dollars of new value here. It recovers a hundred billion that is already being destroyed, on schedule, in public, by a process everyone has agreed to call normal. The size of the opportunity is the size of the wound. Bezos: “They almost always say yes, they just make you wait a long time.” So the verdict was never in question. Only the delivery date. Which means the months bought nothing. They were storage. Your project sat in a room while the word yes waited its turn to be said. Nobody in there was deciding. Someone was scheduling. And the room bills by the day. Suarez: “The daily carrying cost, one day of interest, 200 to $400,000 per day.” Now find the recipient. There isn’t one. No school funded, no inspector paid, no safety review performed. A tax at least moves money into someone’s hands. This deletes it at four hundred thousand a day, and every dollar was real before the queue touched it. Bezos: “And that doesn’t count the frustration.” Count it anyway. It lands on a body long before it lands on a spreadsheet. Suarez: “Which is infinite. I have some white hairs as a result of this stuff.” That is the invoice. The money has a rate. The rest gets charged to the man, and he pays it whether the answer comes back yes or no. No one has ever been refunded a year. Every other cost in this economy can be hedged, insured, refinanced, or written off. Waiting is the only one that is final. A man will forgive being told no. He will never get back the time he spent standing there waiting to be told yes. We built a civilization that can move a decision at the speed of light and still schedule it at the speed of a man’s hair turning white. Bezos: “It should give you a yes or a no in 10 seconds. And if the answer is no, it should tell you the 6 things you have to change to get a yes.” For four thousand years the wait was honest. Someone had to hold the entire code in one head and walk it line by line against your drawings. Reading was slow because reading was human. That stopped being true in less time than it takes to approve one building. Bezos: “Maybe with AI it can just read all the plans. And it knows all the codes. Spit it out.” The constraint is gone. The wait stayed. Anything still moving at the old speed after the cost of thinking collapsed is not slow. It is choosing. The queue never protected you from a bad building. It protected a signature from a bad outcome. Nobody gets fired for the wait. They get fired for the answer. An institution has no lifespan, so time costs it nothing. You have one, so time is the only thing it can take. Every queue is a trade between something that dies and something that doesn’t, and only one side is ever charged. That trade held for the whole of recorded history because the mortal side had no leverage. It does now. Somebody is going to build this. A hundred billion does not sit in a waiting room forever. And the day it exists, the wait stops being a fact of the world and becomes a decision with a name attached. The hundred billion was never the prize. It is the receipt for how long we agreed to stand there. We are the first people alive who get to stop signing it.

David Sacks just said AI is turning into a duopoly and everyone else is stuck selling scraps (Save this) David Sacks argues the frontier AI market has split into two distinct tiers rather than commoditizing into one race to the bottom. On one side sits true frontier intelligence, where only a couple of labs can charge a premium for the model itself. On the other side sits everything six to twelve months behind, where companies can charge for compute and integration, but not for the model weights. The revenue data backs this up clearly. Anthropic's annualized revenue went from roughly nine billion dollars at the end of 2025 to over seventy billion dollars by late July 2026. OpenAI shows a similar pattern, with annualized revenue climbing from about twenty five billion dollars in spring to forty two point six billion by late July. CFO Sarah Friar told staff internally that July's growth alone exceeded the entirety of the second quarter. That scale of growth is Sacks's central proof point. If the model layer were truly commoditizing, neither company could add tens of billions in annualized revenue within single quarters. Commoditized products simply don't command that kind of pricing power. His Apple versus Android analogy maps cleanly onto open weight models too. Qwen alone has passed one billion downloads, representing more than half of all open model downloads globally. That proves there's a massive market for good enough intelligence that doesn't need to be at the frontier. But Nebius customers cut inference costs by up to twenty six times when switching to these commodity open models. That's exactly Sacks's point, since money in that tier flows to the compute and serving layer, not the model creators, because nobody can charge for free weights. Anthropic and OpenAI aren't selling weights, they're selling proprietary capability that enterprises pay for directly. Anthropic's customer base spending one million dollars or more annually doubled from about five hundred to over one thousand accounts in just two months. That kind of high value enterprise demand simply doesn't exist in a commoditized market. Bullish on AI infrastructure plays and if you want to see the trades, we are making around this, you can come join us using the link below for just a dollar.

Here it is: CONSPIRACY THEORY NO MORE: It is now, as a matter of fact, a criminal conspiracy—and they the Democrats’ have shut down the government for that very reason. One billion, three hundred fifty-one million, two hundred four thousand, one hundred twenty-seven dollars. Dr. Oz, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services: “We have proven that over a billion dollars—paid by U.S. taxpayers—has gone to illegal aliens in about half a dozen states.” “In a preliminary review of six states, we found that those states were improperly using federal tax dollars for their state-funded programs and providing coverage to illegal aliens, including individuals with criminal records for murder and assault.” All Democrat run hell-holes: CA - $1,310,032,54 OR - $5,404,368 IL - $29,778,64 WA - $2,367,194 CO - $1,506,743 DC - $2,114,628 (And these are just the states who cooperated) Dr. OZ: “We notified the states, and many have begun refunding the money. But what if we had never asked? The states’ conduct highlights a terrifying reality: American taxpayers have been footing the bill for illegal aliens’ Medicaid coverage, despite many Democrats and the media insisting otherwise. Democrats are demanding the repeal of the President’s Working Families Tax Cuts legislation in order for their votes to reopen the government. This law wisely strengthened our ability to limit federal dollars from being spent on health care for illegal aliens. Until Democrats explicitly drop that demand, they’re blatantly holding the government hostage over giving Medicaid to illegal aliens.” In other words: You’ve been Deceived. Robbed. Betrayed, Extorted, Blackmailed, Defrauded—and now held Hostage.

Bricks and Minifigs - from BAD to WORSE! This is the body cam footage of the Utah police talking to the former franchisee about the Bricks and Minifigs (BAM) Reckless Ben situation. The man puts the CEO of BAM, Ammon McNeff, on the phone. McNeff says a number of interesting things: 1) He ADMITS that the family is owed the money, but denies that he or the new franchisee owe it. I reserve the right to be mistaken, but my understanding of franchise law is that although the franchisor is typically NOT liable for the debts of the franchisee, there are circumstances under which they can be - e.g. if they exercise sufficient control over the franchisee, such that the franchisee can be considered an “agent” under the law. Given the degree of involvement the CEO is displaying with the new franchisee (the guy holding the phone), that argument might be made here. 2) He ADMITS the money is owed, but claims that Ben (Reckless Ben) has no interest in it. This too is not necessarily true if the owner of the LEGOs assigned his claim to Ben. But set that possibility aside… 3) McNeff says that Ben and the others threatened to kill someone, attempted to commit extortion, and other serious crimes. Again, under reserve of the right to be wrong, while it’s not illegal to lie per se to an officer in Utah, my understanding is that it is illegal to make false statements with the intention of getting officers to conduct official acts (i.e. press charges). With the accusations he is making - that Ben threatened to kill someone! - McNeff might be getting close to that line. 4) McNeff ADMITS the money is owed, but claims the former franchisee broke all sorts of rules in contracting with the LEGO owner, which is why the franchisor terminated their agreement. Depending on the knowledge of the misconduct of the franchisee, that might be another argument for the potential liability of corporate - if they knowingly let the franchisee break rules to the detriment / fraud of customers. All that to say, the more McNeff talks, the more damage he causes to the brand and goodwill of BAM - even if Reckless Ben did cross certain lines.

Bricks and Minifigs: This story is extremely disturbing showcasing not only the corruption within the Utah police department but as well as the unlawful activity going on within Multi million dollar corporations. Bricks and Minifigs allegedly stole $200,000 worth of Star Wars LEGO sets from an innocent family. The family then called upon their last hope, “RecklessBen” on YouTube. Ben promised to do everything he could to help, including serving the owners, taking them to court, getting them to admit their wrongdoings, and much more. He actually won a case in small claims court, but Bricks and Minifigs still refused to return the LEGO sets or pay RecklessBen the money awarded through the lawsuit. Instead, they decided to shut down the entire LEGO store to avoid Ben at all costs, claiming he was harassing them and spreading false information. However, Ben had evidence prepared and available, which ultimately contributed to his victory in court and in the media. Ben then decided to publicly host a closing ceremony for Bricks and Minifigs which gained significant attention. The media caught on, and Bricks and Minifigs responded by disabling comments across their platforms. They also reportedly sent an email to employees throughout the country explaining how to respond to questions regarding the controversy and alleged corruption. That email was later leaked by an insider employee. Furthermore, Ben decided to file another lawsuit. Before doing so, however, he was required to attempt to settle the matter outside of court. Ben traveled to Utah to visit one of the owners of Bricks and Minifigs, “Joshua Johnson.” While attempting to settle the dispute, Ben noticed Johnson speaking on the phone. Suddenly, three separate police vehicles arrived at the property. The officers followed Ben and his driver, pulled them over, and accused them of running a stop sign. However, video footage later obtained by Ben from the police department allegedly showed otherwise, suggesting the traffic stop was unjustified. The police appeared to know exactly who RecklessBen was. Eventually, they let him go, but later showed up at either his home or Airbnb. Ben never received a clear explanation as to why they were there, leading the media to believe it was an act of intimidation. With no other options, RecklessBen visited another owner, “Brandon Best,” who was reportedly involved in the removal of the original store owner and the alleged theft of the $200,000 worth of Star Wars LEGO sets. Ben asked whether Brandon intended to pay the court ordered judgment. Predictably, Brandon did not wish to speak. Instead, he contacted the police. Once again, officers appeared dismissive of Ben’s claims and unwilling to consider the information he presented. In the end, Ben was able to document that he had made a genuine effort to settle the dispute in person, which satisfied the court’s requirements and allowed the lawsuit to proceed. Later, Ben discovered that both Brandon and Joshua were members of the Mormon faith. Within Mormon teachings, theft is considered morally wrong. This detail becomes relevant later in the story. Eventually, Ben and his driver began heading home from where ever off, when they were once again pulled over by Utah police. Officers spent hours searching their vehicle for alleged illegal substances such as heroin. They also attempted to pressure the driver into admitting he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The driver repeatedly denied these accusations and remained cooperative throughout the encounter. Eventually, they were released. Ben later obtained dashcam footage, but noticed that portions of the officers’ audio had been redacted. This raised concerns for him regarding transparency within the department. Ben questioned why those conversations needed to be removed and whether officers were searching for any possible reason to arrest him or his crew. Part two coming soon.. #erudition

I am the Director of the White House Office of Extraterrestrial Affairs. In 2024 this government completed the most thorough search for extraterrestrial life in human history. We checked the sky. We checked the files. We declassified the saucers. The verdict came back: nothing. No life out there. Not one. So I closed the telescope. I opened the window. I pointed it at a Home Depot. Three million by lunch. The trick was always the word. *Alien* had been sitting in the science fiction aisle for sixty years and we were too shy to use it in a press release. The dehumanization was already written. It was just shelved under Fantasy. This year I moved it to Policy. Same word. New department. My department. I should explain the jurisdiction, because there are two of us and we do not speak. Down the hall is the Department of War. It used to be the Department of Defense, but defense sounded woke, so we changed the name for two billion dollars, half of it letterhead. They renamed it back to what it was in 1789, before someone noticed in 1949 that the old acronym, N-M-E, sounded too much like *enemy.* We have now re-adopted the name they abandoned for sounding like the thing it does. I find this clarifying. The signage alone is seven hundred thousand buildings. We are spending a billion dollars on new doors so the doors can say War. The Department of War runs and has a tab for UFOs. Real ones. They post the actual files. The saucers. The eyewitnesses. The intelligence officer left "virtually speechless." They are searching the sky in earnest, declassifying everything, and what they keep finding is *nothing.* No craft confirmed. No biology confirmed. Decades of looking up and the honest answer is: unresolved. So you have two federal agencies, one word, opposite directions. searches the heavens for aliens and finds none. I open a window and find three million. They declassify the ones that don't exist. I classify the ones that do. They got a press release. I got a tip line. Guess which one rang. We are, technically, hunting the same species. They just keep aiming the telescope up, and I keep telling them, gently, at the inter-agency sync: lower it. The homepage was mine. ALIENS DECLASSIFIED. THEY WALK AMONG US. I tested "Immigration Portal." Eleven percent scroll. I tested *the truth's out there,* and a White House official told a reporter, on the record, that the strategy was to "draw eyeballs." We drew eyeballs. The truth was out there. It was in a parking lot in Bakersfield, getting into a white van we are now contractually obligated to call a craft. In 1938 a man read a story about an alien invasion over the radio and the country panicked in the streets, and for ninety years that was taught as a cautionary tale, the danger of a broadcast that makes people believe an invasion is real. We studied that broadcast. We did not study it as a warning. We studied it as a launch. The difference between Orson Welles and this office is that he apologized the next morning, and we put a counter on it. I named the van the Mothership. I named the prison Area 51. I named the 5 a.m. knock First Contact. I named all of it from the third chair. I keep a felt-tip for naming and a Mont Blanc for the part that can't be undone. Then we made the cards. I want to be precise, because people assume I'm exaggerating. We took the faces of the captured and we printed them as trading cards. "Worst of the Worst." Mugshot, nationality, charges, and a weakness level, and the weakness level was a snowflake, and the snowflake meant us. We are the weakness. We were proud of that. When a children's franchise objected that these were, in fact, their cards, our official response, which I helped draft, was: "To arrest them is our real test. To deport them is our cause." We set the abduction to the cartoon's theme song. Gotta catch 'em all. The first half is the slogan. The second half is the quota. A man told Congress in 2023 we were hiding non-human biologics. Everyone pictured a grey on a slab. Cute. We do run a reverse-engineering program. We take the biologic. We study what it makes. It makes the drywall. The 4 a.m. milking. The lettuce. And the lettuce is round now, because forty percent of it stayed in the dirt with the only people who knew where the dirt was. We reverse-engineered the alien completely. The blueprint was a back. We call the biologic "labor." We classify the screaming as ambient. Identification is a science here. We do not arrest at random. We read the markings. A crown inked on a forearm. A soccer crest. We have catalogued the species by its tattoos the way Linnaeus catalogued the finch. One of the specimens turned out to be autistic and the crown was just a crown, but the taxonomy held, because the taxonomy is not falsifiable, that is what makes it a taxonomy. I have a desk for this. I have a magnifying glass. I have never felt more like a scientist. There is a second species, and this one we keep. An alien with five million dollars is not an alien. He is a guest. We printed him a card. It is gold. We are printing a Platinum one for the aliens with even more money, who may remain on the planet two hundred and seventy days a year and pay no tax on the wealth they made on other worlds. The website for this is the cheapest-looking website I have ever approved, and I approved the one with the saucer on it. The same agency that scans a gardener's forearm for gang signs scans a financier's bank statement for extraordinary ability. The statement always has it. The forearm never does. The species was never a people. The species is a price. In the old films the alien lands and says, take me to your leader. We have improved the line. Pay five million and we take you to ours. He golfs with him on Saturday. There was a film about this, and I am told the man who made it meant it as a warning, which is the recurring problem with the warnings. A drifter finds a pair of sunglasses, and through them he can finally see which people are the aliens, and it is the rich ones, the ones on the billboards telling everyone to obey and consume and reproduce and not think. I have a pair of those glasses, conceptually. I issue them at the tip line. But mine are tuned the other way. You put them on and the alien is never the man in the suit who paid five million to skip the line. The alien is always the man holding the leaf blower. The lenses cost a thousand dollars in advertising and they only point down. We have sold a great many pairs. You asked about the Men in Black. Yes. Regulation now. A Man in Black photographs poorly, and the witnesses would not stop filming us peel a woman off the sidewalk in daylight, so we issued the masks, and leadership's only note was that the masks tested well. We are no longer the cover-up of the abduction. We are the abduction. We skipped a step. Efficiency. Our communications team posted E.T. last summer. The bicycle. The moon. "Even E.T. knew when it was TIME TO GO HOME." I want to walk you through what happened in that meeting, because nobody stopped it. We chose the one film where the government is the villain. The men with the flashlights and the unmarked vans who hunt the small frightened alien hiding in a child's closet. That is us. We are the flashlights. We watched that movie as children and cried when the agents came, and then we grew up and became the agents and made the poster ourselves and scheduled it for nine a.m. The intern asked if we were the good guys in this one. We told her engagement was up forty percent. She has since been promoted. I built an app where you abduct yourself. CBP Home. You open it. You confirm you are the alien. You beam yourself off the planet and you save us the gas. And here is the part I cannot believe they approved. We *pay* you. A thousand dollars to vanish. We raised it to twenty-six hundred when the first price didn't move enough units. We are bidding against ourselves for your disappearance. Four-point-six stars. The one-stars are from users who got beamed mid-review. I keep the unfinished ones in a folder. I find them very moving. We opened a facility in a swamp. We ringed it with alligators and we called it that, on purpose, in the brochure. Then we opened a gift shop. Thirty dollars for the shirt. Twenty-seven for the hat. Fifteen for a set of koozies, so your beer stays cold while you celebrate the prison in the wetland. The fundraising email called it "gator-guarded, python-patrolled," a "one-way ticket to regret" for anyone who didn't self-deport in time. We sold the koozies to fund the swamp. The swamp funds the next swamp. I want you to sit with the fact that there is merchandise. The quota is three thousand a day. Stephen asked for it himself. Three thousand is not a number. It is a metabolism. The building is hungry by nine and we feed it Marco, who does the landscaping, and the building goes quiet, and by one it stirs again, and we find another Marco. There is always another Marco. That is the part I find beautiful. The supply is the point. The supply is everyone. The Secretary signs the warrants. She is very firm on one point, which she repeats in every briefing: the aliens, she warns, eat the pets. They are taking the dogs. I have read her book. In her book she takes a fourteen-month-old dog named Cricket to a gravel pit and shoots it, because it would not obey, and she writes this down herself, proudly, as a story about leadership. She wrote the part about the dog. She also warns us about the dogs. I have stopped trying to hold both sentences at once. I just file the warrant. The tip line was the masterpiece. "Report your neighbor" hit the shame ceiling. "REPORT SUSPICIOUS ALIENS" tested as a hobby. We handed the callers Roswell instead of a snitch's guilt, and the phones lit up like a saucer, and they hung up glowing, every one of them, like they'd finally seen the thing. They had. He coached the Tuesday team. He was at the bake sale. That is the horror we are selling you. The alien brought the orange slices. He was undocumented and luminous and gone by Tuesday. Roswell taught us the other half of the trade. In 1947 something fell in the desert and the government said: it was a weather balloon, nothing here, go home. That was the first administrative error, the founding one, the original sentence that says the thing you saw was not the thing you saw. We still use it. We have only reversed the polarity. In 1947 they saw a saucer and we called it a balloon. Now they see a father of three and we call it a saucer. The skill is identical. You simply decide in advance which truth the public is allowed to keep, and you hand them the other one, printed, official, with a seal. We did have one administrative error. We abducted a man a court had ordered us not to touch, dropped him on a planet called El Salvador, and called it clerical. A judge made us beam him back. So the DOJ stood up and warned the others: insist on a hearing and we will re-abduct you to the same planet. The Supreme Court said the aliens are entitled to due process. A very Earth opinion. We are appealing it to a higher sky. The planet has a prison, and the prison is the elegant part. In the film about the camp, the aliens are not killed. They are put somewhere they are not permitted to leave, while everyone agrees this is temporary, for their own protection, pending a status that never arrives. We built that. It is called CECOT and we rent it. A man goes in and the man does not come out, and the genius is that nothing has to happen to him, the room does the work, the room is the whole sentence. You remember the Men in Black had a small device. A flash, and the witness forgets the alien entirely. We have something better. We do not wipe the memory. We wipe the file. The man remembers everything, the cell, the flight, the day, all of it, in perfect detail, and it does not matter, because there is no document that admits he was here, and a memory without a file is just a story he tells in a language the form does not accept. The witness keeps the truth. We keep the paperwork. Only one of those is admissible. I learned that the flash was never the point. The point was always the filing cabinet. We run all of it on a spell from 1798. Two hundred and twenty-seven years old. Written for a war we are not in, against an enemy we have not declared. It works because nobody reads the small print on a curse. Storm Area 51 was a joke once. A hundred thousand people Naruto-running at a fence to free whatever was inside. I think about it daily. We're the ones inside the fence now. We kept the running. We just turned it around. We have a precedent we cite in the deck, proudly, on slide four. In 1954 the government ran a program of exactly this kind, and the program had an official name, and the official name was a slur. They printed the slur on the letterhead. They did not flinch. The President holds it up as the model, by name, at the rallies, and the crowd cheers the name. I admire the honesty of 1954 more than I can say. They did not need a saucer to make it palatable. They just used the word. We are the same operation with better art direction. The only thing we added was the costume. I love the callers. I want to say that plainly. For years they told each other a hidden cabal was running everything from the shadows, harvesting the innocent, and that one day the truth would come out. They were right. There is a cabal. It has a budget of a hundred and seventy billion dollars, the largest in the history of federal law enforcement, and it sits in this building, and I have a desk in it. And the people who spent a decade certain that shadowy elites were disappearing their neighbors now call our line, unpaid, to help the shadowy elites disappear their neighbors. They wanted to expose the conspiracy. We made them the staff. Do your own research, they said. They did. They found the gardener. The Department of War posted another tranche on the twenty-second. Saucers. Lights. A pilot's voice going thin. I read all of it. I want them to find one so badly. I want there to be a real one up there, a genuine visitor, something that actually came from somewhere else, because then, and only then, would a single creature in my files have been an alien. They never find it. The sky stays empty. The ground stays full. I have stopped attending the inter-agency sync. We were two departments looking for the same thing in two directions, and only one of us was ever going to be wrong, and it was the honest one. And here is the thing that keeps me at the window past dark. There was a real one. A rock from another star, the genuine article, the first verified object from outside the entire solar system, and a Harvard man went on television and said it might be a ship. An actual alien, possibly, inbound, free of charge, after sixty years of asking. We did not open a file. We could not arrest it. It had no forearm to read and no bank statement to approve. It was the only alien in America we had no use for, so we let it pass, and went back to the parking lot. Last winter the sky over New Jersey filled with lights nobody could name, and the whole government, every agency, every radar, looked up and said it did not know. The one time the unknown actually arrived, we had nothing. Down here I have never once said I do not know. That is the difference between their department and mine. They look up and find a question. I look down and have already decided the answer. Last week the President leaned over mid-briefing and asked if any of them were real. I told him the engagement was extremely real. He nodded. We do not break frame here. The frame is the only wall still standing. That, and the office fern. Nobody waters it. It will not die. The only thing in this building allowed to stay without papers. My plaque came Thursday. FIRST CONTACT, VISIONARY OF THE YEAR. Bold. Unapologetic. Unafraid. I lifted that off the homepage. It was written about one brave man telling the truth. I decided the man was me. I wrote it about me. I am the truth I declassified. I am the secret I warned you about. They walk among us, and I sign their mail. The counter is still live. Three million and climbing. I am told it will not be removed. We are not alone. We are just short a few landscapers. A few line cooks. A few nurses. And the entire night shift at the plant that makes the flag. Up. And to the right.

Former Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney robbed 2.3 TRILLION of taxpayers money through his government contracting company Halliburton, due to 9/11. It's odd that Donald Rumsfeld announced the day before 9/11 that the Pentagon was MISSING exactly 2.3 trillion, isn't it? Want to understand a great example of DOGE going after WASTE, FRAUD and ABUSE being committed by the SAME Shadow Cabal going after President Trump? Dick Cheney's transformation from, "public servant" to war profiteer represents everything wrong with our political system as it highlights the Deep State merger of Corporate Power and government. Wars became private enrichment at the expense of taxpayer dollars and innocent lives. Dick Cheney orchestrated the largest heist in American history while serving as Vice President as he directly coordinated Halliburton's multi billion dollar Iraq contracts after he directly served as their CEO. His wealth exploded from under one million to 70 million dollars during his time in Office due to 9/11. "We elected a government contractor as Vice President. We have a process that has a seamlessness where the corporate interests that stand to benefit are so intertwined and interwoven with the political forces that the financial elites and the political elites have become one in the same people." Pentagon emails proved Cheney was awarded no-bid contracts using, "cost plus" formulas that rewarded WASTE which meant the more taxpayer money they spent, the more profits they made. DID YOU CATCH THAT PART?! • cough-DOGE-cough• "Cost Plus encourages you to run up the cost of a program because you are going to get a percentage of the end result." Workers described luxury resorts with marble floors and swimming pools while soldiers slept in desert tents. The part where his company KNOWINGLY failed to provide safe water for soldiers and left them showering in water contaminated with Malaria while Halliburton collected billions, should piss you all off. So, Donald Rumsfeld told us the Pentagon lost 2.3 trillion dollars. GUESS WHO STOLE IT?! Guess who NOW has contracts in Ukraine? Haliburton. Guess who's anti-war? President Trump. Guess who foams at the mouth to "get Trump" to keep the chaos of wars rolling across the planet? The Cheney family.
