The Shallow State
We predict when the damage assessment is complete, well into the future, the crimes that Trump will have been found guilty of, will be many and numerous. Most of them will involve some measure of fraud. But espionage will prove to be Trump's greatest crime - it'll go down as the most catastrophic breach of national security in American history. We will discover he passed secrets to Russia from day 1, the Saudis shortly after.
The Shallow State
@OurShallowState
In his morning speech outside-the-courthouse, Trump used written notes that he read from. He reiterated that thousands of people who want to show their support for him could not because "it's like an armed camp outside." He repeated the lie that 100K were at his rally in NJ. He enlisted Vance and Tuberville to show up in court.
You don't have to be a psychologist to see that this is a man, desperate to reclaim grandiosity, whose skills and faculties are declining.

First of all, Trump is under order a gag order. If he directs anyone to make statements that his prohibited from making that is a direct violation of the gag order and the judge must be monitoring these surrogate statements. (As if there wasn't enough going on.)

Wow, definitely not the faces, expressions, and energy of the maga yesteryears. This is why trump is not campaigning to the general public like he used to and keeping mostly to very short reading off of a paper simple sentences in front of the camera and his comfortable more private settings of fundraisers and margo largo appearances. This will become worse as his dementia eats his brain and destruction of his neurons rambles his speech and sleeping cycles, and degrades his physical and cognitive abilities. His symptoms will be magnified by all his other mental and emotional issues. This all will be happening at a faster and faster rate of decline.
Maga may not care if he makes any sense, but it looks like they're starting to not care to stay and listen to it for any real length of time.

Duty To Warn 🔉
@duty2warn
1/9 Join Dr. John Gartner and co-host Dr. Harry Segal for the first episode of โShrinking Trump,โ a weekly show dedicated to analyzing Trump from a psychological point of view. We discuss Trumpโs recent signs of dementia from his Gettysburg Address to his falling asleep in court. Watch:
or listen on Spotify:
https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shrinking-trump/episodes/Diagnosing-Trump-with-Dr--Vince-Greenwood-e2jgv3a/a-ab8mnsg
Or Apple:
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shrinking-trump/id1745797271
2/ We interviewed Dr. Vince Greenwood who conducted an empirical study comparing Trump and Biden on signs of dementia and aging. I have said โitโs a tale of two brains: Bidenโs brain is aging and Trumpโs brain is dementing.โ Dr. Greenwood put both those hypotheses to the test. We report on his data here
3/ Greenwood: โAccording to DSM-V You need to show decline in at least one of six areas, and language is one of them. The advantage of the language function is that we have hours of observational data: itโs called videotape.โ
4/ Greenwood compared speeches Trump and Biden made in their middle age to their current speeches to measure decline. He rated them on 7 measures of dementia:
Phonemic paraphasia, semantic paraphasia, vocabulary, disordered syntax, word-finding difficulty, palilalia (compulsive repetition), and tangential speech
5/ Trump was elevated on all of the dementia variables while Biden was elevated on none.
6/ Trump shows a sharp escalation in linguistic signs of dementia while Biden shows no such changes.
7/ Next Greenwood compared both men on normal signs of aging: speech rate decrease, reduced volume, speech tremor, hoarseness in voice, alterations in vocal pitch, occasional disfluencies, difficulty with word finding. Biden shows more normal signs of aging than Trump
8/ Gartner: "We can see why the public is confused. They see Bidenโs signs of normal aging (without realizing theyโre normal) and Trumpโs signs of dementia (without realizing theyโre symptoms of disease.) Thatโs why we need the voice of doctors who can help us interpret the meaning of these signs and symptoms."
9/ Greenwood: โBidenโs speech rate decreased. He speaks more slowly, with reduced volume, tremor in his speech, hoarseness in speech, vocal pitch changes and occasional disfluencies. None of these are related to underlying neurological difficulties.โ

Kristi Noemโs dog killing is pure Southern gothic
A literary criticโs take on the South Dakota governorโs memoir, โNo Going Back.โ
https://wapo.st/4ajeMZZ (gifted)
Review by Ron Charles
May 10, 2024 at 11:16 a.m. EDT
Toward the end of Fred Gipsonโs 1956 classic, โOld Yeller,โ Travis says, โIt was going to kill something inside me to do it, but I knew then that I had to shoot my big yeller dog.โ
Reading that scene again yesterday, damn if I wasnโt struck by the same storm of tears that overtook me in seventh grade. Itโs a devastating moment, full of anguish, permanently embedded in the memory of anyone whoโs read the novel or seen the movie.
If this week is any guide, a dog-killing scene will be permanently embedded in our memories of Kristi Noem, too. On Tuesday, the South Dakota governor published a political memoir called โNo Going Back.โ But days before it appeared, everyone on planet Earth already knew about the passage in which Noem describes shooting her 14-month-old wire-haired pointer named Cricket.
What you canโt get from the 24/7 worldwide freakout, though, is how strange Cricketโs summary execution feels in context. That grisly story pops up in a chapter called โWill the World Awaken?โ โ right after Noem describes how much Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wanted to meet her and right before she lays out a series of clichรฉs called โThe Noem Doctrineโ โ e.g. โFight to win.โ
In the fight with Cricket, Noem won the battle but lost the war. Yesterday in the Wall Street Journal, Republican garden gnome Karl Rove called โNo Going Backโ an act of โstunning self-destruction.โ As Donald Trump considers whom to pick for his vice president, โbragging about shooting her puppy in a gravel pit ended her hopes of being selected.โ
As a literary critic, I must object. The description of Cricketโs Last Stand is the one time in this howlingly dull book that Noem demonstrates any sense of setting, character, plot and emotional honesty. Otherwise, itโs mostly a hodgepodge of worn chestnuts and conservative maxims, like a fistful of old coins and buttons found between the stained cushions in a MAGA lounge.
And far too many people have been obsessing about Noemโs fantastical tรชte-ร -tรชte with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Come on โ who among us hasnโt mistakenly believed that we once faced down the leader of the Hermit Kingdom? As I told Joseph Stalin, โWe all make mistakes.โ
But the central moment in Noemโs memoir is that transcendent scene of South Dakota gothic.
Picture it: Harvest season, โthe Super Bowl of farming.โ But itโs hunting season at their lodge, too. โBalancing both at full throttle is enough to break a family,โ Noem says. She does everything possible to make sure friends from Georgia bag some pheasants, but Cricket โ โout of her mind with excitementโ โ ruins everything. โI was livid,โ Noem writes.
Then, on the way home from that disaster, Cricket attacks some beloved, irreplaceable chickens at a neighborsโ house. The mother โ holding a baby, no less! โ runs toward the melee, sobbing: โMy chickens! No, not my chickens!โ Noem pays for the birds and hauls Cricket into her truck. โShe whipped around to bite me,โ she says. โI hated that dog.โ
Once home, Noem leads Cricket to the gravel pit and dispatches her. Then she spots a smelly old billy goat that she wants to kill, too. The first shot goes awry. She has to run across the pasture for more bullets โto finish the job.โ
Construction workers taking a coffee break at her house witness all this carnage. โWhen they saw me heading their way,โ Noem writes, โthey put their cups down, got up and went back to work โ in a real hurry.โ
Gripping, right? Disturbing, even. Forget Travis and his beloved yellow cur. For a few glorious pages, Noem feels like a Flannery OโConnor character with tax cuts. Honestly, as someone who had to endure all 260 pages of โNo Going Back,โ I wish Noem had shot more dogs โ or me.
Ron Charles reviews books and writes the Book Club newsletter for The Washington Post. He is the book critic for โCBS Sunday Morning.โ
As if Old Yeller is speaking from the grave;
Abigail Disney evokes Old Yeller in plea to reject Republicans after Kristi Noem kills dog
Exclusive: great-niece of Walt Disney issues appeal to appalled voters on behalf of Progressive Change Campaign Committee
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/10/kristi-noem-dog-abigail-disney
Evoking the classic Disney tearjerker Old Yeller, in which a family is forced to put down their beloved dog, the US film-maker and campaigner Abigail Disney exhorted voters to oppose the Republican party of Kristi Noem, the South Dakota governor whose story of killing Cricket, a 14-month-old dog, shocked the world and seemingly dynamited her hopes of being Donald Trumpโs running mate.
โMy great-uncle Walt Disney knew the magic place animals have in the hearts of families everywhere,โ Disney wrote in an email released by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) and obtained exclusively by the Guardian.
โWhen he released Old Yeller, the heart wrenching story stayed with people because no one takes the killing of a family pet lightly.
โAt least thatโs what I thought until I read about potential Trump VP Kristi Noem shooting her familyโs puppy โ a story that has shocked so many of us.โ......................

NARCO-A-LAGO: MONEY LAUNDERING AT THE TRUMP OCEAN CLUB PANAMA
https://www.globalwitness.org/en/campaigns/corruption-and-money-laundering/narco-a-lago-panama/#chapter-0/section-0
In the early 2000s, a series of bankruptcies meant Donald J. Trump was shunned by most lenders. Struggling for credit, he started selling his name to high-end real estate projects. This report examines in detail the criminal connections that propelled one such project โ the Trump Ocean Club International Hotel and Tower in Panama โ and how this case bears some of the same disturbing hallmarks as other Trump developments....................................................
..............................................................Colombian cartelsโ narcotics trafficking were laundered through the Trump Ocean Club and that Donald Trump was one of the beneficiaries.
One key player in the laundering of drug money at the Trump Ocean Club was notorious fraudster David Eduardo Helmut Murcia Guzmรกn, whom a U.S. court subsequently sentenced to nine years for laundering millions of dollars' worth of illicit funds, including narcotics proceeds, through companies and real estate.
Another was Murcia Guzmรกnโs business associate, Alexandre Henrique Ventura Nogueira, who brokered nearly a third of the 666 pre-construction unit sales at the Trump Ocean Club and claims to have sold 350-400 units overall. Ventura Nogueiraโs sales brokerage was critical to ensuring the projectโs lift-off and Trumpโs ability to earn tens of millions of dollars.....................................................................
.....................................................A large number of those involved with the Trump Ocean Club in its early phase were Russian and Eastern European citizens or diaspora members. In an interview with NBC and Reuters, Ventura Nogueira said that 50 percent of his buyers were Russian, and that some had โquestionable backgrounds.โ He added that he found out later that some were part of the Russian Mafia.
Since the Russian governmentโs alleged interference in the 2016 election, a lot has been made of Trumpโs heavy reliance on funds from Russia for his licensing deals. Trump relying on funds from Russia is not in itself a problem โ some of these funds are no doubt from legitimate sources. What is deeply problematic, however, is the fact that some of this money appears to have come from criminal networks.
Donald Trump has incessantly promoted himself as a successful and viable businessman, and this was critical to his success in the 2016 presidential election. But this report presents evidence that this faรงade was built, at least in part, on ventures used to launder cash generated by criminal activities. Trumpโs unscrupulous business dealings and blindness to potential illegality raise serious questions about his suitability to govern the most powerful country in the world....................................................
Trump got elected by repeatedly pledging to โdrain the swampโ, but in the nine months since his inauguration he has actually taken steps that could worsen corruption in the U.S. and internationally. Indeed, one of his administrationโs few legislative successes to date has been to overturn the implementing regulation of a ground-breaking anti-corruption law................................................
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Depending on who gets control for the decision to have an assessment done and if done, I would agree that this would be the result.

AG Nessel Charges Attorney Stefanie Lambert and Former Adams Township Clerk Scott for 2020 Election Voter Data Breach
https://www.michigan.gov/ag/news/press-releases/2024/05/08/ag-nessel-charges-attorney-stefanie-lambert-and-former-adams-township-clerk-scott
May 08, 2024
LANSING โ Today, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced charges against former Adams Township Clerk Stephanie Scott, 52, and her private attorney Stefanie Lynn Junttila, 42, also known as Stefanie Lambert, for allegedly permitting an unauthorized computer examiner access to voter data, including non-public voter information, concerning the 2020 General Election.
The Department contends that Scott intentionally disregarded numerous instructions from the Director of Elections, acting on behalf of the Secretary of State, to present the Adams Township voting tabulator to an authorized vendor for maintenance and testing and withheld the tabulator until it was seized by Michigan State Police pursuant to a search warrant. The Department also alleges Lambert illicitly transmitted data from the Adams Township Electronic Poll Book concerning the 2020 General Election under the direction of Scott.
โEnsuring election security and integrity stands as the cornerstone of our democracy,โ Nessel said. โWhen elected officials and their proxies use their positions to promote baseless conspiracies, show blatant disregard for voter privacy, and break the law in the process, it undermines the very essence of the democratic process. Those who engage in such reckless conduct must be held accountable for their actions.โ
Scott is charged with:
One count of Using a Computer to Commit a Crime, a seven-year felony;
One count of Computers - Unauthorized Access, a five-year felony;
One count of Conspiracy to Commit the Offense of Computers -Unauthorized Access, a five-year felony;
One count of Misconduct in Office, a five-year felony;
One count of Concealing or Withholding a Voting Machine, a five-year felony; and
One count of Disobeying a Lawful Instruction or Order of the Secretary of State as Chief Election Officer, a 90-day misdemeanor.
Lambert is charged with:
One count of Using a Computer to Commit a Crime, a seven-year felony;
One count of Computers - Unauthorized Access, a five-year felony; and
One count of Conspiracy to Commit the Offense of Computers -Unauthorized Access, a five-year felony.
The Michigan State Police referred this matter to the Department of Attorney General, following its investigation into possible election law violations by the former Adams Township Clerk.

Drugmakers in Medicare negotiations spent more on shareholder payments and marketing than R&D last year: Report
https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4651959-drugmakers-in-medicare-negotiations-spent-more-on-shareholder-payments-and-marketing-than-rd-last-year-report/
BY JOSEPH CHOI - 05/08/24 4:51 PM ET
A new report from the center-left watchdog group Accountable US found that most major drugmakers spent more on marketing costs and shareholder payments than on research and development (R&D).
The report looked at eight companies โ Johnson & Johnson, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Bristol Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly, Merck, Novartis and Novo Nordisk โ that manufacture the 10 drugs whose prices are currently being negotiated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
Among these eight companies, four โ J&J, Bristol Myers Squibb, Novartis and Novo Nordisk โ spent more on combined shareholder payments than on research and development.
Five of the companies โ J&J, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Novartis and Novo Nordisk โ spent more on administrative and marketing costs than developing drugs.
Merck was the sole company in the report that spent more on research and development than it did on executive compensation, marketing, administration and shareholder payments.
Most of the companies in the report, J&J, Bristol Myers Squibb, AstraZeneca, Novo Nordisk, Novartis and Merck, sued to block the governmentโs Medicare negotiation program. Several federal judges having ruled in favor of upholding the program.
โBig Pharma CEOs often cite investments in R&D to excuse charging U.S. seniors the highest prices in the world for life-saving medicines โ but they never put that spending in proper perspective,โ Accountable US Executive Director Tony Carrk said in a statement.
โThe fact is, pharma industry R&D investment is vastly outpaced by billions upon billions in industry profits, rewards to wealthy investors, and on lobbying and political spending sprees,โ Carrk added. โDespite what Big Pharmaโs lawyers and lobbyists claim, executives could have passed record profits onto patients with more reasonable prices.โ...............................................................

Historically, the SBC was known for evangelism & missions, but lately it's best known for "allegations of a culture of coverup of clergy sexual abuse."

โThe Southern Baptist sexual abuse crisis is as much about the countless complicit enablers as it is about the abusers. So long as there are little to no consequences for the enablers & cover-uppers, the predators will persist.โ#ThisistheSBC #STILLtheSBC https://t.co/xaAj9Td0Vq

Elon Musk's piggy bank
JUDD LEGUM
MAY 9
READ IN APP
Tesla, as a publicly traded company, does not exist to serve the interests of Elon Musk, its CEO. Rather, it must act in the interests of all its shareholders.
The electric car company ran into some trouble in this regard when it agreed to a massive compensation package for Musk in 2018. The deal resulted in Musk being awarded more than $50 billion in stock options, which, combined with his existing shares of Tesla and other assets, made him the richest person in the world.
Musk's pay was approved by the board of directors and a vote of shareholders. It also required Musk to meet ambitious growth and profitability targets. But in January, Delaware Chancery Court Chief Judge Kathaleen McCormick invalidated the whole thing. In a 201-page decision, McCormick sided with Tesla shareholders challenging Musk's pay. She found that the company's board of directors breached their fiduciary duty by granting Musk excessive compensation and failing to be transparent with shareholders.
McCormick noted that the scope of Musk's pay package was unprecedented โ "250 times larger than the contemporaneous median peer compensation plan and over 33 times larger than the planโs closest comparison, which was Muskโs prior compensation plan." Further, Musk enjoyed "thick ties with the directors tasked with negotiating on behalf of Tesla, and dominated the process that led to board approval of his compensation plan."
Ira Ehrenpreis, who chaired the compensation committee, is a longtime friend of Musk who has invested tens of millions in Musk's companies and bought the first Tesla Model 3. Another committee member was Antonio Gracias, a friend and business associate who regularly vacations with Musk. The shareholders who sued to void Musk's pay package noted that these board members were described to shareholders as "independent" prior to the vote on Musk's pay. (Another Tesla board member is Musk's brother, Kimball.)
Tesla General Counsel Todd Maron, "Muskโs former divorce attorneyโฆ whose admiration for Musk moved him to tears during his deposition," also played a key role in the process. But the reality was that there wasn't much of a process at all. Musk proposed the amount and structure of his pay, and the board approved it. During the legal proceedings, Gracias admitted there was no "positional negotiation."
How has Tesla's "independent" board responded to a mortifying legal defeat? Has it proposed changing its governance structure to create genuine independence from Musk? Has it proposed a more reasonable level of compensation for its CEO? Nope. Instead, the board voted to award Musk the exact same pay package a court just decided was unfair, retroactively. And now, they are asking Tesla's shareholders to approve the plan on June 13 โ or early by proxy vote.
The Tesla board has created a dedicated website, SupportTeslaValue.com, to encourage shareholders to give Musk $50 billion. Originally, the pay package was supposed to incentivize Musk to work hard for the company. This never made much sense since Musk, at the time, already owned more than 20% of the company and was incentivized for Tesla to succeed. Before the 2018 compensation package, every time Tesla's value increased by $50 billion, Musk earned $10 billion.
Now, this argument makes even less sense because the company is compensating him for work that has already been done. So, the board chair Robyn Denholm asks shareholders to approve Musk's pay package reactively as "a matter of fundamental fairness and respect to our CEO."
Denholm, who became board chair in 2018, is incentivized not to rock the boat. In 2021 and 2022, Denholm cashed out over $280 million in Tesla stock options. She described the wealth she has achieved at Tesla as "life-changing." Meanwhile, the "average total compensation for board members in the largest 200 U.S. companies was $329,351 in 2023."
It's a team effort. On X, Musk is rallying his supporters to approve his massive pay package.
2024 is not 2021
In the company's proxy statement, Tesla urges current shareholders to retroactively award Musk $50 billion to recognize the "stockholder value" that Musk delivered as CEO. But not all current Tesla shareholders have benefited from Musk's leadership. On November 5, 2021, the price of one share of Tesla stock was $407.36. Current shareholders who bought their stock that day have lost nearly 60% of their investment. Since the beginning of the year, Tesla stock has lost almost 30% of its value. Musk himself has unloaded about $39 billion in shares.
Musk would not be entitled to his full compensation package based on the company's current valuation. He was awarded about 1% of Tesla's outstanding stock each time the company's value increased by $50 billion, up to $650 billion. Tesla's current market value is less than $550 billion. The Tesla board voted to compensate Musk as if the company was still worth $650 billion.
Tesla's future prospects are also much less rosy than three years ago. Global demand for electric vehicles is slowing, and Tesla faces increased competition from nearly every global automaker. Tesla's core vehicle lineup is dated. And its one new entrant, the CyberTruck, has been a bust. Plans to build a less expensive model, seen as a key to future growth, were scraped. In the first quarter of 2024, Tesla reported "its first year-over-year decline in quarterly deliveries since 2020."
Musk's embrace of far-right politics and bigoted conspiracy theories appears to have damaged Tesla's brand. Today, just 31% of people in the United States would consider buying a Tesla, down from 70% in November 2021.
Increasingly, Musk is staking the company's future on his plan to make Tesla's fully autonomous. The "Full Self Driving" product currently "requires drivers to pay attention at all times and doesnโt make cars autonomous." Musk first claimed that Teslas would be fully self-driving in 2016. Since then, he's repeatedly announced that his vision was just around the corner but failed to deliver. In 2019, for example, he said that Tesla robotaxis would begin operating in 2020.
Tesla "forecasted the robo-taxis would last 11 years, drive 1 million miles and make $30,000 gross profit per car annually." At the time, Musk said it was "financially insane to buy anything other than a Tesla."
Now, Musk is promising a robo-taxi by August 8.
But robo-taxis already exist โ they just aren't operated by Tesla.
Musk is also hyping Tesla's Optimus robot, claiming it "will be able to perform useful tasks in the factory by the end of the year and could reach the market by the end of 2025." Musk says the Optimus is "more valuable than everything else [at Tesla] combined." One analyst called Musk's claims about Optimus "utter nonsense and borderline investor fraud."
$50 billion is not enough
Denholm says Tesla stockholders should give Musk $50 billion so Musk "will continue to be driven to innovate and drive growth at Tesla." Today, running Tesla is not Musk's full-time job. He is also CEO at SpaceX (his privately held aerospace company) and CTO at X. Musk also helps run xAI (his artificial intelligence company), Neurolink (which recently implanted a microchip into someone's brain), and the Boring Company (which makes tunnels for transportation).
And Musk has already made clear that restoring his $50 billion pay package isn't enough to keep him interested in Tesla. Musk said he is "uncomfortable growing Tesla to be a leader in AI & robotics without having ~25% voting control."
To achieve that, the Tesla board and shareholders, after giving Musk $50 billion, would need to provide Musk with another massive stock grant. And, unlike in 2018 when the compensation package was tied to future growth targets, Musk appears to be demanding an immediate increase in his ownership without conditions. Musk would own more stock currently but sold a significant portion of his holdings to finance his acquisition of Twitter.
Almost all shareholder resolutions proposed by the company are approved. But whether or not Delaware courts will allow the reinstatement of Musk's 2018 package โ or an even larger future compensation package โ is far from certain. So, in addition to a $50 billion payment to Musk, the Tesla board is also proposing to move Tesla's state of incorporation to Texas. In her message to shareholders, Denholm says "the board and I are increasingly troubled by the growing uncertainty of Delaware corporate law." But "we believe that the Texas legal system is strong and fair."
Denholm does not mention that she and other board members were sued in Delaware for awarding themselves excessive compensation and agreed to a settlement where they "collectively agreed to return more than $735 million to the electric car maker's coffers in combined options, cash and stocks." Denholm and the other board members did not admit to any wrongdoing.

Something to know about Jim Stewartson;
https://twitter.com/jimstewartson
As a result of my work, Iโve attracted a large, coordinated operation to discredit, defame, silence, and psychologically harm me.
Their goal is to, as Mike Flynn says, โisolate and divide the target.โ Every single person who has been publicly supportive of me has been lied to. ALL of them.
I want to get a few facts on the record.
NOTE: None of this matters. Feel free to skip it if uninterested. I donโt blame you. But no one else is going to define me, for me.
I was born James Glassman in Brooklyn, NY.
My father was an Ashkenazi Jew. Both his parents fled the pogroms in Russia a century ago as kids.
My parents got divorced when I was 3 and my mom legally changed my name back to her maiden name. She was Scottish-Irish.
I grew up outside of DC in suburban Maryland with a single mom who worked as a computer programmer for the government.
I was an extremely shy, anxious kid, and I was bullied brutally all the way through junior high.
When I went to a new high school I made some friends. I was in punk bands, went to Grateful Dead shows and did lots of drugs.
I barely got out of high school. I failed 2nd semester senior English and had to take Summer School.
After high school I went to U of MD for a semester, dropped out and bartended for a few years until moving to CA at 21.
I met my wife in 1993 in San Francisco. We got married in 1998. We now have three adult sons who are all working their way through college.
In the 90s I was in lots of bands. None of them were commercially successful, but I had a shitload of fun.
In 1992, I got a job in the warehouse of a womenโs clothing company. I ended up computerizing the whole place and discovered graphics in the process.
In 1994, I quit and started a small graphics and web design company.
In 1995, I got a job as a consultant for Virtuality, the largest virtual reality operator in the world who wanted to move their technology online. I had no idea what I was doing so I taught myself how to program 3D and Java. VR was cool at that point but it made you very ill, because the technology was not ready yet.
In 1996, I saw an ad for a Star Trek project, to create a 3D game for the web. No one had done this before but, as a devoted Trekkie, I felt I could pull it off. I did, and built the first 3D game on the web. You could run around the Borg cube with phasers and do battle. It was pretty cool for 28 years ago. 6 million people played it.
Based on this work I started a new company, Shout Interactive, we built content and technology for VR on the web. We did work for many major technology companies, major TV networks, and events like the Olympics.
We created a 3D toolkit to allow you to build VR worlds on the internet. We sold that company in 2000 to join a company with computer vision software. We created 3D engines, content and technology for mobile, web, and consolesโwith a focus on using AI for facial animation. I was Chief Technology Officer.
In 2001, I met the people who were creating what later became known as โalternate reality gamesโ (ARGs) while they were running โThe Beastโ at Microsoft for Steven Spielbergโs movie AI. I was read in on the entire experience. It ended up changing my life.
In 2004, I co-founded 42 Entertainment as CTO to create alternate reality games like The Beast. Our first big project was for Halo 2. It was called โI Love Bees.โ It got a lot of attention. A LOT.
This ARG won the Innovation Award at the Game Developers Conference the next year.
We ran numerous ARGs for high profile companies after I Love Bees & for properties like Batman & Nine Inch Nails.
We won many awards, including two Grand Prix Cyberlions at the Cannes Festival of Creativity.
In 2007, several of the founders quit to start a new company. I was one of them. The company was called โFourth Wall Studios.โ
We built replayable, contained ARGs that used your entire electronic sphere to tell storiesโand we built a technology platform called Rides.
I was CEO of Fourth Wall Studios for 5 years and we did a lot of cool projects, but the one that sticks out was our first major production on our technology platform, RIDES TV. It was comedy called โDirty Workโ about people who clean up crime scenes. The characters would call and email and otherwise bring you INTO the story. We won the first Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Creative Achievement, Interactive Show in 2012 for Dirty Work and Rides.
I was proud that we cast a brilliant trans actress in her first role, who went on to be a star on several TV shows.
I learned a very hard lesson after we won the Emmy, about billionaires and sociopaths who donโt care about people. They care about money, power and control. The investor who funded us thought that the Emmy meant we had built something he could steal. So he did. But without the people it meant nothing. It was just his loss.
I had to let my whole company go, 75 of my best friends. It was the worst day of my life.
In 2014, I got a job at Google/Niantic working on a multi-platform ARG. We created an entire world based on a series of books, ran live events, and gained millions of followers. Working at the behemoth of Google was also an eye-opener. Getting anything done was a nightmare. When Niantic spun out of Google, I went my own way and started another VR company as CEO.
That company, called Awesome Rocketship, built physical VR rigs and content that solved the problem I ran into decades before with VR causing nausea. I had an idea that if you build a motion platform to counteract the problem of your eyes seeing something your body doesnโt feel, that it would solve it.
So I built a physical motion rig connected to a VR set up in my living room. It worked. It eliminated nausea and made the experience much more intense. We had some success selling the product, but COVID destroyed any chance of a physical VR solution being a large market.
I went on to work at several other companies in the VR space and did a bunch of consulting work to build solutions for people.
In Summer 2020, I was following the George Floyd protests very closely. And I was seeing crossover between QAnon and the right wing agitators causing violence.
On August 2nd, 2020, a friend wrote an article about QAnon being a large alternate reality game (ARG). So I went to QAnon Twitter to check it out. The next several days was a horrifying revelation. QAnon WAS an ARG, in part, but it was using those techniques to do something much darker than entertain people. It was brainwashing them. This was a cult. It was getting angry. And it was being influenced by a retired general with ties to the Russians.
I resolved to do something about it.
That was 1375 days ago. I have never stopped. Not for a single day. And I wonโt. Not until the people who abused my work to psychologically trap people into a death cult are brought to justice. Not until they stop actively trying to overthrow the country my grandkids are supposed to grow up in.

Interesting take. If trump was in jail or prison, nobody will see the increasing deterioration of his health, mind, and body, which is surely going to be happening where they won't be able to continue to hide it. It's not linear. Better to use him as some martyr, or an imaginary saviour for the cult.
Traitor flynn still busy at trying to take over the world, but first on his agenda is the US. From using all the usual suspects, QAnon to the extreme christian nationalist. In cahoots with Bannon, trump, the pillow guy, orban, all the criminals you know and hate. Made a propaganda movie about himself. On his podcast talking about a vp position (they all know that whoever is vp if trump wins, they will quickly become the president when trump becomes incapacitated), assassination for a little bit, and to let people know that he was sending out a thousand untraceable phones. Next time they will work to be less identifiable.
Disgraced general flynn supposedly received 8 supenea's recently, and then his son stated he did also. No word on from who, what, where, or when, so It's probably some ruse or strategic ploy, so don't hold your breath. But he did lose his lawfare suit against Jim Stewartson. Jim continues to be a big thorn in his butt. Good for him.

I stand corrected. I was a victim of misinformation that's been going around. Mostly that he didn't go to the high school grads is what's out there, but I guess there's versions of the college ones too.
Trump's still a traitor, criminal, rapist, officially was the worst president on record, lacking any ability to lead, mentally destitute, emotionionaly disabled, a want to be dictator, and won't even be able to wipe his own ass within a couple of years, that's if he can do it now. I'm afraid to say how I really feel.
But yes, Traitor trump went to his kids graduations and according to Snopes, this will be his first one missed if he doesn't go. Not entirely sure how long he was at any of them, maybe only made an appearance. I don't think he could maintain for any length of time in that setting now, he can barely maintain for a shorter time, less aggressive atmosphere rally where he just goes on autopilot and it doesn't matter to the cult that many of the things he says don't make any sense.
Court time is taking a toll, and the only way he is even to do that is by sitting deadweight like Jabba the Hutt, sleep, fart, and do the one trick he knows to the cameras at the end.
Trump Never Attended Any of His Children's High School or College Graduations?
The former president's complaint that he might be unable to attend his son Barron's high school graduation due to his trial spawned misinformation.
