The Big Beautiful Bill — or the Big Brutal Betrayal?

🇺🇸 The Big Beautiful Bill — or the Big Brutal Betrayal?

The Big Beautiful Bill has passed. History will remember it not as a moment of progress, but as a catastrophic turning point in the dismantling of American democracy.

Disbelief. Grief. Anger. Voices across the country — including some Republicans — are waking up to the truth: This bill doesn’t serve the people. It serves the billionaires.

But here’s what’s getting far too little attention:

💰 The bill triples the funding for ICE, ballooning its budget to between $100 billion and $170 billion, making it the largest federal law enforcement agency in the United States.

Let that sink in:
ICE, whose primary mission is immigration enforcement, now has more power and resources than the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals, and the Bureau of Prisons — combined.

⚠️ Why does this matter?

Because the Trump administration knows one thing:
If the midterms are free and fair, they're finished.
They face deadlock, investigations, and loss of control.
So what’s the only path forward for them?

➤ Subvert the elections. Delay them. Or even cancel them.

Legally impossible? Yes — unless they can declare a state of emergency.

And that’s where this all connects.

🔥 The Crisis They’re Building

The Big Beautiful Bill slashes protections, deregulates, and funnels wealth upward. It creates the very conditions — poverty, resentment, mass discontent — that could ignite nationwide protest.

Then, using that unrest, the administration can cry "chaos," "unrest," "national threat" — and invoke emergency powers.

And guess who’s now fully funded and armed to patrol the streets?

🚔 ICE.

Militarised. Unaccountable. Political.
A secret police force in all but name.

❓It could never happen here… right?

Ask yourself this:
Why give ICE $170 billion if not to use it?

Why build an enforcement machine bigger than anything we've seen before — unless you're planning to unleash it?

And while we’re asking questions…
📉 In 2022, 41 million eligible Americans didn’t vote. That’s how democracies fall — not with tanks, but with silence and shrugs.

🗳️ Now is not the time to look away.

If you care about freedom, about truth, about your future — speak out.
Register. Vote. Organise. Watch the watchers.

Authoritarianism doesn’t announce itself.
It passes in broad daylight while we’re all too exhausted to notice.

AI The Final Coundown

Regarding AI, these are the three issues in order of urgency that concern me: AI being used by bad actors as a highly effective means of propaganda that makes missiles and mortars look like stoneage axes by comparison. Before ChatGPT had the safety switches enabled I asked it to write me a rousing patriotic essay on why it was good and necessary to kill Jews. What it produced was terrifying (see below) Whether you like it or not, AI is coming for white-collar jobs. I have had ChatGPT write me a will that a lawyer was shocked at how good it was, and I routinely ChatGPT for generating code snippets and language translations. YES, there are often errors. But those criticising AI for those errors need to frame this in that it has taken 3.7 billion years for life to evolve on planet Earth and only 100 years on from the first logic gate to get to a stage where we can have a conversation of sorts with a piece of software that has not to be programmed for an algorithmic response. Criticising A...

Mojo 2 & Sennheiser HD660 S2

Image
A Subjective Review of the Chord Mojo 2 DAC Paired With Sennheiser HD660 S2 Open Back Headphones This review is purely subjective and based on my experience with the equipment. There was no attempt for any objectivity or comparison with any other equipment. This review does not replicate all the information readily available in the promotional literature for the reviewed products. Go read that yourself! This review is my experience in respect of what is not advertised. The sound source is Tidal with maximum fidelity subscription played from the Tidal app running on and Android Pixel 4a mobile phone. Mojo 2 Features The Mojo 2 is very similar in style to the original Mojo. The new version has an additional illuminated menu spherical button to access the new features of a 4-band equalisation and what Chord call crossfeed. Personally, I do not like the fourth button. The user interface is not immediately obvious. I had to refer to the user manual. OK after a few days, I have learned my wa...

Netiquette: Rules for Social Media Engagement

The following principles are personal standards for engaging on social media. They are not imposed on others, but reflect a code of conduct that I aspire to follow. 1. Integrity of Posts Posts should never be deleted. If a post is found to be factually incorrect, a correction or addendum should be added. If something causes hurt or offense, an apology or clarification should be appended rather than erased. Edits should not change the original intent or meaning of a post. Spelling, grammar, and typographic errors may be corrected. The goal is to leave a visible audit trail of what has been said, transparency over revisionism. 2. Respect for Others' Contributions Comments or posts made by others should not be deleted or hidden. Every contributor has the right to their words, even in disagreement. 3. Exception: Safety First All rules may be overridden in the interest of safety . Posts that include identifying, private, or sensitive info...
