(🔐) In a secretly recorded call between Lin Wood and Patrick Byrne, the men—one an ex-Rittenhouse lawyer—claim Rittenhouse is being puppeted by far-right entities.
(PS) The picture attached to the PROOF article above—which offers a lengthy analysis of the secretly recorded Byrne-Wood call—shows Joe Oltmann on the left and Byrne on the right, because a big part of the article is about Joe Oltmann. This (below) is L. Lin Wood, lest we forget:
(PS2) The upshot is that there’s *nothing* organic about anything Rittenhouse does now. He’s a young man who is getting rich and famous by going wherever a series of handlers and puppeteers tell him to go. That isn’t a conspiracy theory; it’s literally *how MAGA celebrity works*.
(PS3) The second Rittenhouse sues Whoopi Goldberg, her lawyers will have a *field day* deposing him to find out the shadowy entities who now bankroll him and direct his actions. Any lawsuit he files has *nothing* to do with *him*—and everything to do with an ongoing insurrection.

Process the fact that—as of yesterday—if a tourist so much as dips a finger in the Reflecting Pool Trump ruined they get detained for an hour by multiple federal agencies
This is the police state Republicans hysterically warned of for decades, and now that it's here they love it
And if you wonder why the regime is detaining anyone who interacts with the Pool, it is—nakedly and unambiguously—because it needs false arrests to create the impression of civilian criminal activity that doesn't exist and is merely cover for Trump driving The Beast on the Pool
So Trump, using taxpayer cash, overpaid a Bribery-accused ex-con pal by 1000% via a no-bid contract with kickbacks, that guy ruined the Reflecting Pool, Trump then drove on the Pool out of laziness and further destroyed it, and now they're arresting civilians to cover their asses
There are men in CECOT—the worst prison on Earth—for wearing their hair too long. For loitering. For petty theft. For having the wrong politics.
And Musk and his peons applaud this for the same reason fascists always do: they’re sure it’ll never be them.
They’re *always* wrong.
That’s why Trump hates the study of history. He doesn’t want MAGAs imagining that CECOT may one day be run by Communists.
The prison system you want is the one that you’d deem fair *whatever* your politics are. Because the weapons you use will *always* end up used against you.
Crime rates are the product of hundreds of factors. They tend to be highest in places where policy is based on politics, not expertise. That’s why red states incarcerate the most people *and* have the most crime. Because we need experts setting complex policy, not partisanship.
This shows FIFTEEN YEARS of increased incarceration rates having ZERO EFFECT on a SKYROCKETING murder rate, followed by FIVE YEARS of the murder rate PLUMMETING with NO CHANGE in incarceration policy.
How STUPID are you assholes?
But wait—it gets worse! The last 3 YEARS of the 24 YEARS tracked here show that when homicidal tyrant Nayib Bukele opened CECOT to imprison his political enemies—gang members about to blow the whistle on his election theft—it had NO EFFECT on ALREADY DROPPING murder rates!
JFC!
And people wonder why I say Elon Musk has an IQ between 100 and 115 (at best)?
No college freshman would misread this simple chart as badly as Elon Musk just did.
No—scratch that. No *high school* freshman would misread this chart with such comically arrogant stupidity.
BREAKING: Team Trump is 30 minutes from federal Contempt of Court—no letters have been removed. What may happen soon: work stops for the night; *all* letters are taken off the building; the Trustees announce it’s shuttering forever. But clearly his name won’t be gone by midnight.
The letters were put up with scissor lifts in 2-3 hours—and were supposed to be removed that way. To show his contempt for the federal judiciary, Trump instead used old-school scaffolding, which is now in its *twelfth hour* of being put up (meals and weather only cost 3-4 hours).
Other options for Trump to give the federal judiciary and the 100K+ Americans now watching this long con live the middle finger: put up a tarp so no one can see what’s happening behind it; remove the THE (to say the job was started pre-midnight) then leave; other such silly acts.
This is where the endgame begins—though it might take two years to play out.
A President of the United States is openly linking the *Pentagon* and rigging elections for his party.
He is framing an authoritarian takeover as something the *U.S. military* wants.
The natural endpoint of this comes sometime in the next two years, with Trump announcing that the Armed Forces must be deployed domestically to combat foreign election interference. He'll say Congress' failure to pass the SAVE Act forced him and the military to end our democracy.
In our form of democracy, there's *no role whatsoever* for the Pentagon in domestic elections.
Yet the president just *inextricably linked the two*, having already had his openly Christofascist War Secretary deploy the military domestically in 2025.
If you've been reading independent journalism—which holds that Trump went to war with Iran in mid-2025 and that there have been no ceasefires in the war since then, everything happening now makes sense.
If you've been reading corporate media headlines... you're confused as f*ck.
This is only the tip of the iceberg.
Not only do corporate media readers have no idea that this is a year-long war with lulls but *no ceasefires or deals*—just Trump lies intended to manipulate markets so he and his pals can profit—but they don't know how bad America is losing.
MAGAs of course neither care about the news nor are capable of understanding it—lacking the education or maturity—but even independents aren't being told how screwed America is. I just saw an expert-made video on how Iran's understanding of *salinity and humidity* outstrips ours.
