I have been mocking Trump as Bin Laden. But he is doing the same messaging to "The Base" that Binny did and using the idea of singular action against oppression while invoking religious symbolism and authority through himself. npr.org/sections/live-…
Homework: In this paper we understand the general concept of societal fracturing through fear, physical events and rhetoric and the creation of asymmetrical chaos which undermines the homeostasis of civil society. digitalcommons.ric.edu/cgi/viewconten…
To be fair Trump, like all President's has been tough on terrorist leaders. But not quite the same way.
Trump has allowed his inner circle to monetize their support for him: "With his managerial skills, bin Laden established al-Qaeda as a business. Many of the organization’s finances come from legitimate businesses".
Trump praises criminals, individuals who have murdered people and intolerant leaders. But takes no credit or blame for the events: "He praised the assault but did not admit planning it." This invigorates criminality, violent acts and attention seekers.
Trump's enemies are "“immoral, dissolute, apostates" who dont' believe in God or follow moral paths. "Trump denies pacification or resolution of internal conflicts. “I want to tell the United States and its people, ...that the United States will not have peace”Justifying violence
Bin Laden argued that our government was "corrupt, greedy and had a hidden agenda. That his goal was to "restore security to our umma." Thereby justifying outrageous acts of violence. “just as you violate our security, so we [will] violate yours.”
Osama planned to create a pure Islamic state devoid of Western influences Trum sells a plan to create a pure American state devoid of outside influences. Is this a fair comparison of two rich kids given attention? The theme here is "Stochastic" qz.com/1436267/trump-…
Stochastic theory lets you guess the impact of random events to change outcomes. Like how did 9/11, "black swans", covid-19 or October Surprises change societal outmodes. Can you shift the outcome using Stochastic theory vs probability. AKA Dirty Tricks. socsci.uci.edu/~bgrofman/21%2…
Let's look at this same idea of asymmetric warfare using the Monte Carlo Simulation and read a fascinating paper by Prof Phillip Compeau. Where we can see the random variables inserted into the last election and why traditional probability failed. compeau.cbd.cmu.edu/programming-fo…
Wrap it up Pelton: The TTPs used by terrorist idealogues are the same used by Trump but on a lower scale of order. Violence against your mind vs body. This understanding is critical in detecting and extinguishing random attacks against American voters in the coming days.

There is a certain point at which those who hunger for total control go after their opponents. The rise of Putin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Mussolini etc have all been analyzed and charted. The science of destroying democracy exists. A fake crisis awaits. georgetown.edu/news/major-cri…
Trump consistently promotes false narratives and crises. His last was a "stolen election," his latest is "migrants," allowing him to build the largest federal Gestapo in the world. A lawless rendition and imprisonment system. Remember his enemies list? nytimes.com/interactive/20…
there aren't enough migrants to keep Trump's Gestapo busy. There arent enough to fill his Gulags. All we know is that he is creating the largest federal police force in the world with "counter terrorist" authorities. Currently 260K and $170B richer. politico.com/news/2024/11/0…
Gaza about to get lit. Cancel your vacation plans. The tribes are pissed. This Israeli op is top of the list.
Gaza is more than a strip of land. There are historic, geographic, political and transnational linkages. Israel is trying to hire clans and gangs like Yasser Abu Shabab's to stir things up. The clans are stirring back.
Sheikh Abu Salman Al-Mughni runs the "Higher Commission for Tribal Affairs" brought in over 140 trucks. Israel shut it down. Binny has a plan to ghettoize Gaza into tiny competing enclaves. middleeasteye.net/news/war-gaza-…
There is about $120 Billion of Iran's money frozen in U.S. banks. Watch how Trump pretends to launder it through the Gulf to bulid reactors for Iran but watch how much goes to Russia to build them. How do I know this? cnn.com/2025/06/26/pol…
I did a screed earlier today on how Iran's nuclear program has really been Russian since 2005. As of two weeks ago Russia also signed a deal to build eight new reactors for Iran worth $15 billion. Now hold on, I'm not done. powermag.com/russia-has-dea…
If this sounds familiar, it is. In 2016/2017 Mike Flynn was greased to pitch a Gulf-based, Russian-built nuke project that would require lifting sanctions. "Trump's highest foreign policy priority is to stabilize U.S. relations with Russia" reuters.com/article/world/…
Since the media won't tell you, the Iranian Nuclear Program is actually a Russian nuclear program. Begun in 2005 and continued right up to where they helped remove the enriched Uranium and some of the equipment. armscontrol.org/act/2005-04/ir…
Iran first tried to enrich Uranium in 2003 but has been consistently unable to create a nuclear bomb. The material comes from a single Russian-managed plant. But that will change "We have a contract with Russia to construct 8 nuclear power plants in Iran" powermag.com/russia-has-dea…
Why was Russia kept out of the propaganda and hasbara? Cuz Donny is sucking up to Russia...who is the enemy of Israel and allied of Iran? The media can't add this element of complexity because it makes Donny the bad guy and Russia's bitch.
This is the "oppo" report on Trump from 2015. You will notice not much has changed in his ignorant rhetoric and ideas. His lack of intelligence and sophistication made the Dems confident he would never be elected. Read it. vox.com/2016/6/15/1194…
There are links to every article. To be fair it's a document designed to show weakness in a candidate. Like this story from 2005. Trump was broke as a muthafukka and to squeeze his children for money. They didn't trust him. . nytimes.com/205/10/23/busi…
2005 was an interesting year. Not only is Trump broke, Its also he year Trump was trying to convince investors he had a hotel deal in Moscow. He would put no money in. Felix Sater handled the deal that never happened. nytimes.com/2017/01/16/us/…
Amateurs. No world leader takes Trump and his clown car seriously. The basic rules of power are to strike hard to set the tone and negotiate from strength. Aka carry a big stick and talk softly. politico.eu/article/marco-…
Everything Trump touches dies. Self inflicted stupidity is when you hand your enemies the next move. And they don’t care. nytimes.com/2025/04/23/bus…
There is no shortage of sage guidance and detailed reference on how to wage war. Trump has availed himself of none of them. He has plunged America into conflict using the counsel of tech bro fools and golf buddies.
