I really should be asleep right now because I have an upcoming appointment in several hours...

I should really be asleep right now but I've been busy doing things and not necessarily anything productive. Well I mean by productive that would assume I would fix something that was broken or finish a project. Instead I decided to take some fun time and put purple crap in my hair for absolutely no real reason whatsoever. #hair #fun #whimsical

Post menopausal hair is a thing -- and I am very fortunate I still have my "mane". It needs a trim on the ends.

I want to laugh at Gal Gadot's terrible singing but I can't because of the rampant antisemitism directed towards her.

I want to mock Mark Zuckerberg uncanny valley apperance but I can't because antisemites keep calling him a lizard-person.

I can't stand Amy Schumer but now I'm defending her because it is antisemitic to call her Miss Piggy and degrade her for caring about Jewish lives.

I personally think Shira Haas wasn't the right choice for Sabra, can't say that out loud because Hamas supporters protested her red carpet apperance.

Emet

The problem with being an American Jew in the year 2025, it’s easy to imagine, say, someone firebombing a synagogue and people of literally any political ideology (depending on the arsonist’s stated or assumed beliefs) rallying for their release. Makes it hard to trust you motherfuckers

The Dangers of National Intelligence Under a Reckless President

National intelligence agencies play a vital role in safeguarding a country’s security, ensuring stability, and upholding democratic principles. However, when a reckless president abuses these agencies for personal or political gain, the consequences can be devastating. The misuse of national intelligence in the hands of an authoritarian-leaning leader threatens democracy, endangers lives, and undermines public trust in government institutions.

1. The Weaponization of Intelligence Agencies

A reckless president with dictatorial tendencies might exploit national intelligence agencies to silence dissent, surveil political opponents, or manipulate public opinion. Historically, such misuse has led to erosion of civil liberties. For example, leaders in authoritarian regimes often weaponize intelligence tools to suppress protests, monitor citizens, and conduct mass surveillance. In democracies, these practices undermine constitutional safeguards and set dangerous precedents.

2. Undermining Accountability and Transparency

When a president operates without checks and balances, intelligence agencies risk being dragged into partisan conflicts. This erodes transparency, as information is manipulated to serve the leader's narrative. Misrepresentation of intelligence data—whether in military decisions, foreign policy, or internal security—can provoke unwarranted conflicts, alienate allies, and escalate tensions on the global stage.

3. Damaging Trust in Democratic Institutions

Intelligence agencies rely on trust, both from the public and international allies. A president abusing their authority can politicize intelligence work, reducing the credibility of critical warnings or reports. Allies may hesitate to share vital intelligence, fearing it will be mishandled or leaked for political gain. Domestically, citizens may begin to distrust the government entirely, fueling divisions and weakening the nation from within.

4. The Risk of Domestic Repression

A reckless leader acting like a dictator may use intelligence resources to enforce oppressive policies. For instance, directing surveillance against journalists, activists, or opposition leaders undermines free speech and discourages public dissent. This stifles democracy and creates a culture of fear, where citizens are reluctant to hold their government accountable.

5. Impacts on Global Stability

When intelligence is misused, the ripple effects are felt globally. A president who acts impulsively or dishonestly with intelligence reports can destabilize international relations. This may include launching misguided military operations, severing diplomatic ties, or supporting covert activities that violate international laws.

6. Safeguards Against Abuse

To prevent such scenarios, democracies must strengthen checks and balances. Independent oversight of intelligence agencies, whistleblower protections, and robust investigative journalism are crucial safeguards. Empowering the judiciary and legislative branches to hold a reckless leader accountable ensures that intelligence agencies remain apolitical and focused on their true purpose: national security, not personal power.

Conclusion

National intelligence is a double-edged sword—it can protect or endanger democracy, depending on how it is wielded. A reckless president acting like a dictator transforms intelligence from a tool of security into a weapon of fear and division. Vigilance, oversight, and public engagement are vital to prevent this dangerous shift and protect the democratic ideals that underpin a free society.

The Rise and Fall of Magnus “Mac” Schäfer

Magnus “Mac” Schäfer was a man who thrived on chaos. Born in New York City to a German father and a Scottish-American mother, he grew up hearing tales of resilience and cunning from both sides of his heritage. His father, a shrewd businessman with questionable ethics, and his mother, a sharp-tongued storyteller from the Midwest, shaped Mac into a charismatic manipulator who could charm anyone while plotting their downfall.

By the time he was 30, Mac had amassed a fortune through shady real estate deals, offshore accounts, and a series of shell companies designed to obscure his involvement in tax fraud and embezzlement. He was investigated repeatedly but always managed to avoid conviction, skillfully blaming underlings or exploiting legal loopholes. His talent for spinning scandals into victories earned him a reputation as “the Teflon Tycoon.”

But Mac wanted more than wealth; he wanted power.

In his late 40s, he pivoted to politics, branding himself as an outsider who would "drain the swamp." His speeches—delivered in a booming voice tinged with both Scottish grit and German precision—struck a chord with disillusioned voters. He promised to restore America to greatness, vowing to crush corruption even as he embodied it.

His opponents underestimated him. They mocked his lack of experience and dredged up his criminal past, but Mac used it to his advantage. “I’ve played the game they rigged,” he declared at rallies. “Now I’m going to break it wide open for you.”

To the shock of the political establishment, Mac Schäfer was elected president in a landslide.

Once in office, Mac quickly consolidated power. He surrounded himself with loyalists, silenced critics, and rewrote rules to suit his agenda. Policies favored his business empire, foreign deals lined his pockets, and opponents mysteriously vanished from the political stage. Whistleblowers faced relentless smear campaigns, and journalists who questioned him were branded enemies of the people.

For a time, it seemed Mac was untouchable. His approval ratings remained high among his base, who saw him as a fearless leader fighting for them. But cracks began to show. An investigative journalist uncovered a secret bank account tied to bribes from foreign governments. A whistleblower revealed recordings of Mac openly discussing plans to rig the next election.

The final blow came when his former chief of staff, tired of being scapegoated, testified before Congress, providing irrefutable evidence of Mac’s illegal activities. The evidence was damning: wire transfers, recorded conversations, and a paper trail leading directly to the Oval Office.

As impeachment proceedings began, Mac lashed out, claiming he was the victim of a conspiracy. His fiery rhetoric, once a source of his strength, now alienated even his closest allies. Protests erupted across the nation, and his approval ratings plummeted.

When the Senate voted to convict, Mac became the first president in American history to be removed from office.

Disgraced and facing multiple criminal charges, Mac Schäfer retreated to his private estate in Scotland, where he lived in self-imposed exile. From time to time, he would release statements insisting he had been wronged, still clinging to the illusion of his innocence.

But the world had moved on, and Mac Schäfer became a cautionary tale—a reminder that even the most cunning rise can end in ruin when built on lies, greed, and corruption.

The Rise of Alastair Klausen

Alastair Klausen was a man of contradictions. Born in Glasgow to a Scottish mother and a German father, he grew up amid the gray drizzle of the Clyde and the stern discipline of his Bavarian heritage. His charisma was undeniable, his wit sharp, but his moral compass spun wildly out of control. By the time he was 25, Klausen had already run cons across three continents, amassing wealth through fraud, embezzlement, and the occasional black-market deal.

Yet, Klausen was no ordinary felon. He had a gift for spinning tales and charming crowds. In prison—where he landed briefly after an ambitious Ponzi scheme collapsed—he captivated his fellow inmates with speeches about power, redemption, and the audacity of ambition. He didn’t see his criminal record as a burden; he saw it as a badge of survival.

Upon his release, Klausen set his sights on America, the land of reinvention. Armed with a fabricated history of business success, he entered politics, cloaking his shady past in the rhetoric of patriotism and populism. His Scottish brogue, softened by German precision, lent him an air of authenticity. His scandals were reframed as “smears from the elite,” and his fiery speeches galvanized those who felt ignored by the establishment.

Within a decade, Klausen had climbed to the pinnacle of American politics. His opponents underestimated him, dismissing him as a showman. But Klausen had a knack for exploiting their weaknesses, spinning lies into truths, and weaponizing the media. By the time the presidential election rolled around, his rallies were packed, his opponents were floundering, and his past had become a footnote overshadowed by his promises of a new era.

When he was sworn in as the 49th president of the United States, the world watched in stunned disbelief. Alastair Klausen, the Scottish-German felon turned political juggernaut, had defied every odd.

But his presidency, like his life, was a study in chaos. Scandals erupted almost immediately—secret bank accounts, whispered deals with foreign powers, and a web of lies so tangled that even his closest allies began to doubt him. Yet Klausen thrived in the storm, spinning each controversy into a tale of his victimhood.

In the end, Klausen’s rise was as meteoric as his fall. His presidency collapsed under the weight of his own hubris, but not before he had left an indelible mark on history—a reminder that charisma and cunning could, for a time, triumph over integrity.

And somewhere, in the shadows of disgrace, Klausen smiled. After all, he had always said, “Power isn’t about doing right. It’s about doing whatever it takes.”

“Greetings from The Devil” was the subject line

August 19th I received a curious email. It was shortly after Black Hat and several governments and corporations announcing being a real Purple Team.

I had also had trouble reading anything from end-to-end in a very long time due to PTSD, but the content had me transfixed and I had the first in the series finished in no time. I also was able to retain the character profiles in mind while reading throughout like a relationship map, so this led me to a better mindset. I have not lost my intelligence edges even in all that torture and trauma.

I did have to apply to this group and actually answered honestly without giving any details. That’s another good thing about the field of intelligence — being vague but detailed is a desired trait.

An honest review of book one is that it felt oddly familiar and as if someone had been walking though my bedroom and also my own timeline. One thing I love about this author is “accuracy without going to prison”. You should, too. It’s stranger than fiction.

The blade arrived today

I had always been fairly decent at throwing knives at a target from a distance. There was a situation years ago where someone nefarious stole the one that was perfectly weighted for me. I have been actively searching ever since then for a similar replacement and found one last week at auction. It was cheap! Yippee 🥳

Back then, I had a large black & white photo of fishnets and legs by a famous photographer positioned above my bed and behind that… my target practice area. It’s also how I solidified my android phone at the time was tapped because I took a “bullseye” photo of this hefty blade sailing over 20 feet hitting the mark and sent it to an acquaintance.

It appears to be okay to be female and own a gun, but for some reason if you appear to have ninja type Jedi skills… you are dangerous. My point is that I have always enjoyed throwing without EVER endangering another person or animal.

My toddler ✡️ cohort in Xtian cult land

We did get kicked out of preschool and after we met up on Facebook found that to be quite entertaining. My schoolmate BFF had fuzzy hair was blonde and mine was curly or a mess or something…

Later on we find out we are both gifted and on the autism spectrum. She survived a flesh eating bacteria at her home and I don’t think I prayed so hard in my life. That’s my toddler - middle school bestie ❤️✡️

I was very much loved and adored

Since I was first born I had a lot of privilege and family standing even though the circumstances were not under the best conditions of affluence. Intellect broke me out of a hayseed status. My classical upbringing and my base around my Maternal family gave me that grounding and grit that I would always need to survive.

Unfortunately the same location was a sundown town with frequent KKK antisemitic rhetoric and also talks of black lynchings.

This Masonic lodge was off of an East Orange address directly across from an old German POW and naughty work camp. I think they got a little bit too friendly post World War II.

It was actually typical in ancient Rome for them to build directly on top of Greek temples because that’s how they got anyone to assimilate into their nature every day religion which now distinctively denies women from their right to reproductive Health care.

Strange night

Thankfully it was relatively quiet on the news front except for the immediate strikes on Israel after Biden left the area.

Seriously siding with Palestinians has got to stop sometime in the very near future or he is going to lose independent voters as well. Well I am impressed that he knew the difference is between that is really Torah and American Tori on his visit I see nothing has changed after Air Force One picked up and flew off. When I see some lasting change then I will have an informed opinion but right now it’s just rhetoric.
