5️⃣ Europe Declares Tech War on Musk
Europe just fired a $1.35 billion shot across Elon Musk's bow, with France leading a massive funding round for Eutelsat specifically to counter Starlink's dominance. The French government becomes the largest shareholder with a 30% stake, positioning Eutelsat as Europe's "sovereign alternative" to Musk's space internet monopoly. This isn't just business—France has cancelled its previous $1 billion Starlink military contract, and Canada is quietly banning government use of Starlink. Every freedom-loving nation realizes the same thing: you can't trust a guy who throws Nazi salutes with your state secrets.
4️⃣ JD Vance Tours Trump's Military Occupation
Vice President JD Vance arrived in Los Angeles for a surprise visit to tour Marines deployed against American protesters while Trump federalized California's National Guard. A federal appeals court ruled in Trump's favor, creating precedent for military deployment against blue states. But here's the real question: why isn't Trump going himself? The answer is obvious to anyone paying attention—he's too physically and mentally compromised to handle public appearances. This is JD Vance getting his feet wet for the inevitable takeover, courtesy of Peter Thiel's $135 million investment in America's future techno-king.
3️⃣ The Nerds' Revenge Goes Global
Zev's investigation into the "hacking of democracy" reveals how Leonard Leo's $1.65 billion dark money deal created unprecedented election vulnerabilities through networked voting machine power supplies. The supposedly "air-gapped" machines aren't actually air-gapped when their uninterrupted power supplies connect to Palantir's surveillance network and potentially Starlink satellites. Over 100,000 vulnerable units with default passwords sit connected to voting infrastructure across 160 countries. The basement-dwelling losers who found each other online 30 years ago now control the infrastructure that decides elections. Curtis Yarvin's digital monarchy isn't coming—it's here.
Exclusive: A New Suspect Emerges in the Hacking of Democracy
The most sophisticated election interference operation in American history may have been hiding in the most unlikely place: the humble power backup systems that keep voting machines running during power outages. New technical analysis reveals how a complex web involving Leonard Leo's dark money network, surveillance contractor Palantir Technologies, and over 100,000 vulnerable power systems created an unprecedented backdoor into U.S. election infrastructure.
2️⃣ Trump Regime Deports Journalist for Dissent
The surveillance state claimed its first international victim when CBP deported Australian Substack writer Alistair Kitchen after 12 hours of detention. Border agents explicitly told him: "The reason you have been detained is because of what you wrote online." Kitchen had written critical coverage of student protests at Columbia University, joining Jim Acosta, Terry Moran, and others targeted for unfavorable reporting. They tracked him for weeks before his arrival, demonstrating the surveillance infrastructure is already operational. Independent journalists without corporate protection are now explicitly targeted for deportation—the soft fascism is becoming hard fascism.
“Deported for Dissent”: Trump Deported A Substack Writer as The Regime's War On Truth/Media Ramps Up

1️⃣ Trump's Mental Collapse Impossible to Ignore
MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell finally asked what we've been screaming for months: "If Donald Trump gets dementia, how would we even know?" Multiple medical experts are now publicly stating Trump shows "unmistakable signs of dementia"—Dr. John Gartner says his "speech is degenerating into literal incoherence," while Dr. Bandy Lee calls it a "public health emergency." From bruised hands and catheter bulges to that weird neck patch at yesterday's flag ceremony, the evidence is overwhelming. White House aides reportedly discuss the 25th Amendment while this cognitively compromised man decides whether to send American troops to war with Iran. The guy who can't finish sentences is commanding nuclear codes, and mainstream media finally admits what independent journalists have documented for months.
The Decline Is Televised: Trump's Alarming Slide Into Confusion and Fragility Is Becoming The Biggest Story In The World

The pattern is clear: Europe rebels against tech oligarchy while America surrenders to it. Journalists get deported for dissent while the president deteriorates in real-time. The revenge of the nerds meets the decline of democracy, and we're watching it happen with a front-row seat to the collapse of American institutions.
