    Because Congress gave ICE $70 billion dollars and ICE terrorized and kidnapped and raped and killed people with no accountability or oversight. Then Congress cracked down and gave ICE another $75 billion dollars with no accountability or oversight.

      I feel like cracked down should be in quotes. But pretty much this. Congress enabled them and now it wants to ask some questions?

        Congress thought that no organization with $75 billion dollars could possibly be evil. Next they will give them $80 billion.

    ICE: because we want to covertly take control of phones? I’m not understanding the question

    Which, no matter the answer, Gary Peters will promptly do nothing about and then go on to approve more ICE funding.

    I thought mostly getting off the Internet except a few apps and some searches was good enough but I guess I need to get rid of my phone all together…

      Not just rid of the phone but getting rid of the lifestyle of participating in this culture of human control and conquering they exist for.

      We fund this stuff. And it’s starting to be understood that what is offered here isn’t worth the price of humanity.

      It’s all about loyalty. 🤌🍝 And datacenters and ICE is being built up for the future purge of those that don’t or didn’t meet loyalty requirements.

      Immigration and ice at the moment is just normalizing the policing, profiling and building up to what’s to come. And you can see, media and pop marketed trends create black and white debates and lead people away from the truth of understanding what’s actually happening. It’s not really about chatgpt and ai… It’s not really about race and immigration… It’s not simply about unionizing… Its about manufacturing paths that allow people to think they are making change or have true freedom of choice…

      And that is going to get way worse once everyone has a profile in the datacenters infrastructure after all this bullshit comes into place. It will be so easy for them to lead you without you knowing. The dominant side of society already is leashed without understanding… It’s chess game and most of humanity are the pawns. I would say a lot of what people fight for (in good intent) is manufactured by greater control and used for an end goal that is something other than what the “pawns” with good intentions thought they were fighting and progressing towards.

      People are still picking between sides that are a part of the same monster as if something will change… That is fucking frightening. It’s not about humanity… It’s business, it’s conquering humanity for control and profit.

      To participate in the [western?] culture means you ARE part of the problem. …and I say that as a westerner that still funds the culture… But I cannot deny to myself, truth, and the universe that the statement is 100% true.

      We are groomed to live for a culture our spirits know is wrong. It creates cognitive dissonance which leads to the decay of people… So the give us methods of escapism and lifestyles that distract us from this truth and further the problem.

      Once you understand the psychology of humans and humanity, you can see social manipulation in use. And you can see it’s misuse throughout all of history. Shit… Jesus was crucified for authentic truth and his truths were manipulated, packaged and industrialized, for control. Why? What’s the justification of that? Because when regular people understand we live in chaos, their brains would snap and they would react emotionally like animals. That situation is the situation Jesus’ teachings were meant to quell, but the industrialized church thought it best to control the situation by saying they are the bridge to God.

      What if people understood the authentic path of humanity isn’t something we vote for, and that It isn’t part of the lifestyles we were groomed to live for? What if they followed the wisdom that was universal between cultures before that wisdom was packaged and manipulated for control and profits?

      Well I say all that… But we know what happens… You get crucified, assassinated, or manipulated to look insane or fanatical so that your credibility is killed in the view of common folk etc…

        I mean you start well but in fall down into your own storm of thoughts. Yes get away from this stuff but if you live in the western world you will need food and shelter unless you are looking to end it all. There is some personal enhancement that can be obtained from museums and such and certainly everyone should enjoy nature as much as they can while they have access to it. Responsibly of course. It does amaze me that people are still going to sports or movies or shows or streaming stuff at this point. Also worrying about their job and putting in more effort?

    Great. Technology developed by the Israelis. I would love to see them try to do something positive for the world for a change.
