The Revolt and The Revolting
This Blog is created to stress the importance of Peace as an environmental directive. “I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it’s hell.” – Harry Truman (I receive no compensation from any entry on this blog.)

Don't just breath a sigh of relief...
...file a complaint and demand prosecution.
The number of videos showing up whereby ICE agents are harassing American citizens in attempts to make arrests or worse (these guys are armed) are increasing and, must be recorded if possible and, then the recording taken to police to file a formal complaint. After the police report if hiring a lawyer is possible, do so, and sue the federal government and the particular agents involved.
THIS MUST BE DONE. There is no choice. American citizens should not have to fend off assaults (that is what this is, verbal in hopes of more) of ICE agents. Either they know what they are doing and BEHAVE appropriately or they don't. If they don't behave and have assaultive demeanor that is lawlessness.
IT IS POLICE BRUTALITY.
Americans are not used to this, don't become used to it. They are coming for everyone and anyone.
LOCATION AND BEHAVIOR WILL BEGIN THE PROCESS OF INVESTIGATION (cities and towns have investigative units) AND PROSECUTION.
ICE agents hiding in plain sight without badges or facial recognition are no excuse. File the complaints and continue to file the complaints.
Class action to stop the harassment and seek damages, emotional or otherwise, is a possibility. We have dead citizens already and ICE and the Trump administration don't seem interested in abiding by the law or learning from their mistakes.
Do not make empty threats or any threats against these bozos during the time of their bad actions; they are primed for confrontation.
Don't be the reason.
.These are illegal orders.

The opinion from the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel concerns large swaths of land near the U.S.-Mexico border that the second Trump administration has designated as "National Defense Areas" for the purposes of deterring illegal immigration.
While the military is generally prohibited from enforcing laws on domestic soil under the longstanding Posse Comitatus Act, the zones have allowed soldiers to detain migrants accused of entering the national defense areas, which are closed to civilians. The arrangement has allowed the Justice Department to prosecute those arrested in the zones for trespassing on military land.
In its opinion Friday, the Justice Department said military personnel can arrest individuals who leave national defense areas before they can be apprehended for trespassing....
We should all be concerned there is a methodology in the delay in reporting an election results.
Steve Kornacki does a great deal of election analysis. He is about as through as any of the "In the moment" analysts. This surprise on his part is an alarm everyone needs to pay attention.
It is illegal to interfere with a vote count. The entire idea Wisconsin which tends to be Democratically friendly would experience any kind of problem is highly suspicious of interference. There needs to be an investigation and if the government refuses to conduct one, including the State Bureau of Investigation, the people have to sue and have one conducted independently.
A parallel private, independent investigation should be conducted without interference. The DNC needs to be armed with their own methodology to challenge these immoral and illegal acts by Republicans. The Republicans will challenge every Democratic vote to attempt to delay and muddy up any results.
They are racketeers. Trump is still in the White House, isn't he?
Hegseth is still Secretary of Defense, isn't he?

ICE is out of control again
While I thought the move to airports was to eliminate the opportunity of poorly trained agents to kill Americans, the latest episodes and ideas are completely out of line and violates civil rights.
1. The agents are using harassing behaviors to attempt to reveal the identity of people to decide on the spot if the person is an illegal immigrant. In a recent episode there were at least half a dozen agents that entered a private job cite looking for a person with a name. While a couple agents went hunting for the person with a name the other agents interrupted the workers on their jobs while trying them with suspicion and harassment techniques. One agent stated, “We got him (referring to the man with a name) and at that point and only that point the other agents stopped harassing American citizens on their jobs while trying. I remind these agents have at the very least side arms. The American citizens don’t.
Now, the agency is thinking of deploying agents with electronic gloves. These gloves are basically stun guns. All an agent has to do is touch someone and an electric shock travels through the body as a stun gun would. It is a form of torture.
These techniques are dangerously illegal. They will torture and kill people.
Corruption of academic achievement.
The US National Science Foundation (NSF) (click here) has kicked off a sweeping effort to deepen the ties between PhD students and industry. The pilot programme will provide participants with hands-on industry research experience and funding from universities, companies and the NSF. It will serve more than 250 students, who will receive funding for four years.
The programme aims to “help graduates better apply their research to real-world challenges”, an NSF spokesperson said. The effort will give companies the chance “to invest directly into how our doctoral researchers are trained”, Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said in a statement, noting that the majority of US recipients of PhDs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics do not remain in academia.
Researchers expressed a mixture of excitement and concern about the programme, called the Industry-Integrated PhD (I-PhD) Scholars Program, which was announced in July....
The bipartisan (90-6) vote is aimed at avoiding a governmentwide shutdown on 1 October if legislators have not approved a budget by that date, which is when the 2027 fiscal year begins. The bill, called a continuing resolution, would allow agencies to continue to operate at current spending levels until 11 December. Last month the House of Representatives adopted a similar measure, and the two versions must be reconciled when legislators return next month after a lengthy summer recess....

PEREIRA, Colombia (AP) — Tons of aid from regional partners (click here) began to roll into Colombia on Wednesday, as the search for survivors in the rubble of powerful earthquake grew more desperate after the temblor razed buildings, buckled roads and crushed cars.
The devastation has tested Colombia’s new president, Abelardo de la Espriella, and his government as it scrambles to respond to the disaster and civil society as it pushes to provide aid to the most affected communities....

Guilty of genocide.
Blanche
Trump basically has two White House attorneys working in tandem. Once that collusion is measurable Blanche can be impeached.
Trump is going to need all the help he can get and Blanche is a proven shark in the water that can get him off the hook. Trump ignores judges. When judges rule against him he plays with concepts outside the meaning of the words and plays with words in ways they were not meant to be used. The Webster and Oxford dictionaries have to start a new series of contorted meanings and uses.
"The Dictionary of Contorted Meaning and Us
Seriously. Trump abuses language so very badly it has to be defined for what it is. Just imagine what translators go through.
Every linguist knows there was a time when language didn't exist and the ability to communicate did. Africa is a prime example of how diverse language is and how it creates barriers that can even cause wars. There is something like 10,000 different languages and dialects in Africa. It is easy to see how bigotry can develop and how hatred takes shape.
It is easy to see how those estranged by Trump's idiocy and that is exactly what it is simply disregards it as gibberish. But. Trump has been able to manipulate the meaning of language to bring about a power structure capable do killing. The complexity of language involves emotion. Words have meaning but there is also emotion attached to those meanings in many instances. So, the ABUSE of language and communication has to be identified. In a free society language is vital to carry out life itself, ask any marriage councilor.
But, the USA is entering a danger zone whereby legal language is being FORCED into cause societal change. The Roberts Court does not separate church and state. Stare decisis is regarded as a hurdle to changing the meaning of law and societal norms. There is a lot going on all at once in the USA when it comes to the use of language, of which is propagated by commercialization. There is nothing wrong with commercials selling products, but, it is definitely linked to emotions to bring about thought to sell a product. That free spirited thinking is a product of the USA's economy and is healthy, however, it also gives license to adverse use of human emotions. In the case of politics and law those emotions are linked to language, the only tool possible to bring about hostile environments that ultimately kill.
Trump is highly confrontational all the time. He causes emotional responses and he knows what he is triggering or HOPES to trigger. Language is becoming a tool to encourage adversity and not peace or prosperity.
"Houston we have a problem."
There is a disconnect, with MAGAs especially, to react to language out of preconceived understandings and loyalties. There is a disconnect from the cognitive understanding of society/civilization/norms. Trumps jargon and dogma has gone on from the first term unmitigated. He has taken that programming and begun his own society of violence triggered at his demand. The contorted understanding of the USA power structures in MAGA language is disconnected from real understanding of life and substituted with misinformation and guidance toward confrontation.
Leadership is missing in the Republican Party. It just is. The party has become complacent to insult and injury to the USA Constitution. It is where corruption and racketeering takes over.
I will tell you how far I believe this corruption of language and meaning goes, even so far as NATO.
Trump has insulted NATO since his first out of step maneuvering with the review of troops with the Late Queen Elizabeth II. Now, NATO is seeing an assault on it's prowess in order to weaken and destroy it and by whom, Putin? No, the USA. There is every reason to state the treaty is violated by Trump and Hegseth. At a time of much needed readiness, including border incursions (Trump has massive efforts in border protections of the USA) Hegseth is ordering NATO (where he gets the idea he has the authority to order anything at NATO is beyond my imagination) to change power structures while removing much needed troops and TROOP BUILD UP. I am not even talking about Ukraine. This is NATO. As far as I am concerned, Trump and Hegseth are derelict in their RESPONSIBLITY to NATO. They are not only derelict, they are insubordinate to the treaty and the USA Constitution that governs treaties. I believe their violations are so profound and HOSTILE there are grounds to Court-Martial them.
NATO discusses the issue of differences between countries within the alliance, however, that provision does not allow for the disintegration of the alliance. The countries are still members while they have their own difficulties. Congress of the USA has not dissolved the responsibility of the USA to NATO. Trump is playing a game of confrontation with every other ally the USA has while being tolerated by Congress and NATO. Hell, kick Trump and Hegseth out of the alliance on the basis of insubordination. Removing hostile elements of the alliance does not mean the USA is dissolved from it, quite the contrary. The Generals serving with NATO will have unquestioned authority to maintain the integrity of the alliance once the insubordination authority is resolved.
So, I have brattled on long enough. I think I make my point. Trumpism has contaminated the belief of civilization no different than Nazism overtook the German people.
Enough.
It took re-education of Germany to return the people to civilization and the peaceful use of power we came to trust.

Profits before the planet and it's people.
Eight of the biggest oil companies (click here) amassed profits of more than $90bn (£67bn) in just three months as the Iran conflict sent energy prices soaring and the emissions-fuelled climate crisis caused deadly heatwaves.
The windfall war profits have reignited calls for oil and gas supermajors such as Saudi Aramco and BP to pay for the environmental damage caused by “cashing in on human misery” and fund a rapid transition to renewable energy.
Guardian analysis found that the eight listed oil producers made almost $93bn (£69bn) in the three months to the end of June – the first full financial quarter after the US-Israeli war on Iran triggered a surge in global oil prices to highs above $126 a barrel....
