I almost forgot to check for the universal NPC call sign: “existential threat to democracy.”
There it is.

Black churches in particular were a big target of leftist infiltration in the 1960s and have remained that way. Obama's original community organizing work was in Developing Communities Project, which was implemented through churches.

Something tells me The Bulwark doesn't want people learning the history of Liberia... how freed African Americans, backed by the USA, founded a colony there and went on to enslave the indigenous peoples.

If they despise election monitoring so much, surely they can agree we should cancel grants on election monitoring! Because, you know, US monitoring others' elections is tyranny and all that.

Data in my upcoming book.
The Bush years killed hundreds of thousands in the name of "democracy" at gunpoint, yet they did not drive millions from their homes.
Mass displacement began only after the Arab Spring failed.
Ask yourself why.

Grokipedia says there are two sexes!
Can't wait for OpenAI to explain why they won't use Grokipedia in their training data.

Cherry on top: “Build Back Better” was official policy language in the UN 2015 Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction as part of a “multisector, all-hazards preparedness” agenda that included pandemics.
COVID-19 was not engineered, but once it struck, it activated that entire chain. Even down to emergency disinformation governance in partnership with social media companies.

Surprisingly, Africa does have a long history of Communist involvement (including anti-fascist). Cleaning out colonialism was an early Communist goal and one of Lenin's 21 conditions.

These days, when I see “intelligence correspondent,” I think “someone who sleeps with spies for stories."
These types are just tools leaking some agency's narrative for clicks and need to be soundly ignored.

This is how fast Grok has evolved in 10 months.
I like to evaluate LLMs by asking them to do SVG images. Why? SVG is a markup language - you have to reason around it. It's not generative AI photos. You have to write code that says "draw a circle for the cat's face, draw two triangles for the ear" and so on. You have to be able to describe what a cat looks like at an abstract level.
The left is Grok creating a SVG of a Siamese cat from December 2021. The right is Grok creating a SVG of a Siamese cat today, 10 months later.

CaliHaitians - Haitians in Az, Ca, Nv, Hi, Or, & Wa appears to be an informal social media group. Swalwell's own spending stinks to high heaven. I didn't know you could host parties in Disneyland with PAC money.

Yeah, what they do is:
1. Wait until the person they don't like wins an election
2. Have a parallel voting tabulation system (PVT) ... aka, Western NGOs count the vote and "prove" the winner was the counter-elite (puppet) they wanted
3. NGOs organize mass protests, media, activists around that until it results in a coup

I just came across this in an Open Society Foundations document about how to fix public “mistrust” of liberal "democracy," and I honestly feel sick reading it. I've read many alarming quotes, but few are so "mask off" like this.
"I believe the time has come for a responsible, courageous elite, those who care far more about addressing the genuine social problems than about election results. Only a political elite with vision, prudence and a focus on the general good—to whom the electorate… can cede part of their sovereignty in the elections—will be able to justify public trust and spearhead... our struggle to survive.""
Read that again. The proposed solution to the public's distrust in democracy... is less democracy.
An unelected "elite" to whom the public should cede sovereignty.
Abolish democracy to save democracy. This kind of thinking is what we're up against.
