Feds seize 'bot farm" run by Russia, connected to Phoenix tech company.

“The Justice Department announced the seizure of two domain names and the search of 968 social media accounts used by Russian actors to create an AI-enhanced social media bot farm that spread disinformation in the United States and abroad,” read a statement released by the Justice Department.
Truth Social Continues To BLEED Users
Donald Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social, recorded its second-lowest monthly audience since its launch in June, according to new data released from TheRighting.
The U.S. Department of Justice said it disrupted a Russian propaganda campaign using fake social media accounts, powered by artificial intelligence, to spread disinformation in the U.S. and other countries.
The bot farm used AI to create profiles impersonating Americans on X, formerly known as Twitter, and to post support for Russia's war in Ukraine and other pro-Kremlin narratives.
It was part of a Kremlin-approved and funded project run by a Russian intelligence officer. The bot farm itself and the AI software behind it were organized by an unnamed editor at RT, the Russian state-owned media outlet.

A History of Private Schools/Segregation/Evangelical Academies and Race in the American South..

"The goal of these evangelical schools was not a “better form of education” but denial of education." Why Humanity Must Overcome Religion | Carl Sagan. https://youtu.be/-EdmF4OyoKI Segregation Academies Then and School Choice Configurations Today in Deep South States. 70 years ago, school integration was a dream many believed could actually happen. It hasn’t. The Deep South states deliberately circumvented Brown by eliminating funding for integrated schools; impeding the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s (NAACP) legal activities; allowing state actions to nullify federal authority within their borders; enforcing unreasonable pupil assignment laws; and providing financial aid to pri vate segregated schools (Ravitch, 1983; Yale Law Journal, 1973). Simply stated, Deep South states attempted to perpetuate dual school systems. In response to these circumventing strategies by local school boards and state governments, the Supreme Court i...

2025: Trump and the New Eugenics Movement.

Image
Eugenicists behind the U.S.’s forced sterilizations during the last century also wanted a border wall. Nearing the end of his first term, on September 18, 2020, Pres. Donald Trump invoked the “racehorse theory” at a campaign rally in Bemidji, MN, to claim that he and his followers had genetically superior bloodlines. “You have good genes, you know that, right? You have good genes. A lot of it is about the genes, isn’t it? Don’t you believe? The racehorse theory. You think we’re so different? You have good genes in Minnesota.” The “racehorse theory” is an idea adapted from horse breeding that believes that good bloodlines produce superior offspring. It is also based on the early 20th century American eugenicists movement and the later by the German Nazis notion that selective breeding for racial purity can improve a country’s performance. Joseph A. Stramondo, a philosophy professor at San Diego State University, insists, “Trump uses eugenic rhetoric and plays on stereotypes a...

“Gangsters of Capitalism”: Jonathan Katz on the Parallels Between Jan. 6 and 1934 Anti-FDR Coup Plot.

HAS THERE EVER BEEN A TIME IN AMERICA'S HISTORY WHEN THERE WASN'T A BUNCH OF RICH PRICKS TRYING TO END THE CONSTITUTION AND TAKE OVER? “Gangsters of Capitalism”: Jonathan Katz on the Parallels Between Jan. 6 and 1934 Anti-FDR Coup Plot We speak to award-winning journalist Jonathan Katz about his new book “Gangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America’s Empire.” The book follows the life of the Marines officer Smedley Butler and the trail of U.S. imperialism from Cuba and the Philippines to Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Panama. The book also describes an effort by banking and business leaders to topple Franklin D. Roosevelt’s government in 1934 in order to establish a fascist dictatorship. The plot was exposed by Butler, who famously declared, “War is a racket.” The far-right conspiracy to overthrow liberal democracy has historical parallels to the recent January 6 insurrection, says Katz. https://www.dem...
