Leonard Peltier Speaks Out While Living Under House Arrest - CovertAction Magazine
For decades, as one of the longest-serving political prisoners in the United States, Leonard Peltier was a focal point for political activism and symbol of the white man’s injustice toward Native Americans. In April 1977, Peltier was convicted of the murder…
This is quite troubling.
Prompt Injection Via Road Signs
Abstract: Embodied Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises to handle edge cases in robotic vehicle systems where data is scarce by using common-sense reasoning grounded in perception and action to generalize beyond training distributions and adapt to novel real-world situations. These capabilities, however, also create new security risks. In this paper, we introduce CHAI (Command Hijacking against embodied AI), a new class of prompt-based attacks that exploit the multimodal language interpretation abilities of Large Visual-Language Models (LVLMs). CHAI embeds deceptive natural language instructions, such as misleading signs, in visual input, systematically searches the token space, builds a dictionary of prompts, and guides an attacker model to generate Visual Attack Prompts. We evaluate CHAI on four LVLM agents; drone emergency landing, autonomous driving, and aerial object tracking, and on a real robotic vehicle. Our experiments show that CHAI consistently outperforms state-of-the-art attacks. By exploiting the semantic and multimodal reasoning strengths of next-generation embodied AI systems, CHAI underscores the urgent need for defenses that extend beyond traditional adversarial robustness.

How Many Guns in the U.S.:
Report Highlights: The United States has more civilian-owned guns than any other nation. Estimates suggest the country has hundreds of millions of firearms.
The United States has between 400 million and 500 million privately owned firearms.
46% of American households, approximately 65.19 million, contain at least one firearm.
In 2026, there are 1.5 guns per U.S. resident, and 2 guns per U.S. adult (over 18).
The majority of firearms in the U.S. are handguns (55-60%).

Before COVID, Australia reached its target of 95% of one-year-olds fully immunised. Now, lower coverage means more babies are at risk of whooping cough and measles.

ICE Expansion and the Architecture of a Security State
The militarization of American cities by ICE is being addressed, or not addressed, around constitutional, moral, and practical questions familiar to Americans from sixty years of debates over “law and order.” Does ICE’s deployment follow the law? What kind of deference is law enforcement due? Is the force deployed by ICE proportional to the threat? And, in general, is it appropriate to oppose the fact that a duly-elected president who was put into office on a promise of deporting illegal immigrants is actually fulfilling that promise? All of these are worthy questions on which reasonable people can disagree. But they are not the most relevant questions, and their relative irrelevance is why they have been embraced so enthusiastically by both political parties and their corporate media outlets. These questions keep the conversation on safely ahistoric ground, distracting from the question of what ICE’s expansion represents structurally. Namely, the accelerating growth of unconstitutional arrangements, institutions, laws, and precedents that create our Founders’ ultimate fear: a domestic military force and its concomitant institutional supports...

ICE Is Freezing Out the Constitution
Mass deportations poll well, in part because many Americans believe immigrants should “get in line” and follow the law. However, the core issue isn’t a nation’s right to enforce its borders. When people are willing to overlook constitutional violations to “solve the problem,” they reveal a deeper disregard for the principles of liberty and individual rights that define America. If we abandon those first principles in moments of fear or frustration, we have to ask whether we still deserve to call ourselves a free society.
Regardless of one’s views on immigration levels or deportation policy, constitutional rights cannot be suspended to achieve policy ends. The Constitution applies to everyone within U.S. borders—citizen and non‑citizen alike...

We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
Reporting Highlights
Americans Detained: The government doesn’t track how many citizens are held by immigration agents. We found more than 170 cases this year where citizens were detained at raids and protests.
Held Incommunicado: More than 20 citizens have reported being held for over a day without being able to call their loved ones or a lawyer. In some cases their families couldn’t find them.
Cases Wilted: Agents have arrested about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, for allegedly interfering with or assaulting officers, yet those cases were often dropped.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.
Border Patrol is monitoring US drivers and detaining those with ‘suspicious’ travel patterns

America: The Now Tyrannical Sadistic Police State
Both the right and left love war so long as their guy’s in power, they both want dependency on government, they both desire money, power and control, they both cheer on censorship, mass surveillance, and full digitization. They both supported the fake ‘covid’ lockdowns and mass murder of the elderly, they both, especially Trump, wanted poisonous lethal injections for all, they both want to spend and advance trillions in debt, all while the people starve. So what is the real difference? There is none.
But now we are at a crossroads, because heinous police-state tactics; tracking, tracing, full surveillance, censorship, warrantless searches and seizures, masked Gestapo-type cretins on the streets, martial law, property confiscation, elimination of due process, and State IDs are accepted by both when in power, but met with feigned ‘resistance’ when out of power. Contradictory, hypocritical; of course it is, but that is the way of politicians and all those who accept and support them.

Americans Have Abandoned (Lost) All Logic and Reason
In today’s world considering the U.S., logic, reason, and common sense have been abandoned, and replaced with ignorance, dependency, and indifference; all to such a degree as to have made impotent the intellect of Americans. Critical thinking and acting on that solid premise, have completely disappeared in favor of desertion of reality, truth, and moral behavior. As Mason Carter said: “A critical thinker is not someone who knows all the answers, but someone who keeps asking better questions.” Americans no longer ask questions, they no longer seek truth, but they expect to be entirely taken care of by governing forces. This is not just an attitude of the expectation of enslavement, but is one of a slave who has given up entirely, and now just waits for whatever consequences are forthcoming, hoping only to survive.
We in this country are in the midst of a hell on earth. This hell is all-consuming, as it covers every aspect of life and being. It is at once economic, financial, personal, restrictive, immoral, aggressive, and revolting; all while global technocratic rule is pursued with unlimited nocuous vigor. This is not organic at any level whatsoever, it has been a long-term, pre-planned takeover of the hearts, minds, and souls of the masses in order to build a global oligarchical totalitarian system of rule, fully dependent on a master/slave relationship where the few rule and totally control the many.

The Trap and Insanity of Reliance on a Pre-planned, Politically-Motivated Government ‘Constitution’
...Any acceptance of a political constitution is a confession that one embraces and voluntarily accepts being a slave of the State. Of course, the same can be said of all who vote for a master to rule over them. No State can give ‘rights,’ so therefore, no State can claim to define rights. All rights can be sourced back to a single natural law. That is, every individual on earth has a right to his own life. This one fact requires that each individual has a right to defend his life, (self-defense) he has a right to sustain his life, which means he has a right to his property, of which his most sacred property is self, he has a right to not be impeded in any manner so long as he harms no one or their property, and does not infringe on any of these natural rights of others. He has a right to be left alone. He does not have any ‘right’ to free medical care, he does not have any right to another’s property, whether via tax or other theft, he has no right to get a particular wage, he has no right to a job regardless of ethnicity, he has no right to a home, he has no right to State ‘welfare,’ he has no right to block the speech or movement of anyone who is not aggressing against him. No piece of government paper can change this truth...
