Observing Consciousness

May 08, 2025

For centuries, Harvard stood as a monument to untouchable prestige… the shining city on the hill of academia, a fortress of influence whose walls were lined with crimson banners and crowned with privilege. Presidents walked its halls. Bankers, media moguls, and bureaucratic kings and queens bore its seal like a knight's crest. It wasn't just an education; it was an initiation into the ruling class.

But nothing built on illusion stands forever…

Today, Harvard is scrambling to liquidate over $1 billion in private equity assets, not to innovate, but to survive.

At the same time, the walls of media, finance, and academia are crumbling across the board:

• CNN sheds massive audiences and staff.
• Disney’s empire faces collapse-level layoffs and revenue losses.
• Goldman Sachs quietly sells off private equity holdings, echoing Harvard’s moves.

The pillars of the captured system are fracturing…

This isn't a market correction. It's a controlled demolition.

It started with an invisible trigger: Executive Orders 13818 and 13848, signed quietly while the world was distracted. Orders that legally authorized the seizure and realignment of assets tied to corruption and subversion.

The cause-effect timeline is clear:

On Monday evening, President Trump announced numerous new Executive Orders relating to military preparedness that he plans to sign into action.

The president addressed GOP lawmakers during a retreat at Trump National Doral in Miami, Florida.

President Trump is expected to return to the White House tonight after visiting disaster sites in North Carolina and Los Angeles, California, and speaking in Las Vegas, Nevada, over the weekend.

President Trump announced in Florida that he will sign four Executive Orders, including the construction of a “state-of-the-art Iron Dome missile defense shield, which will be able to protect Americans.”

He added, “Everything will be made right here in the USA, 100%.”

President Trump will also ban transgender ideology and Critical Race Theory (CRT) from our military, which comes in addition to his day one Executive Order, “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing and Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.”

The Gateway Pundit reported that Trump Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has already taken the first steps to abolish radical leftwing ideology from the military, announcing over the weekend that the DoD will no longer tolerate DEI, an offshoot of CRT.

“The Pentagon will comply immediately. No exceptions, name-changes, or delays,” Hegseth said, noting that “Those who do not comply will no longer work here.”

It seems that among the first orders of business at the beginning of each new Congress is to pass legislation protecting, promoting or pandering to Israel. And it doesn’t matter one iota which party controls Congress. Well, it happened once again.

One of the newly installed 119th Congress’s very first orders of business was to pass legislation attempting to protect Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant from arrest by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for the crime of genocide.

Jill and I are just back to the farm from four days in DC, which was a hot mess yesterday. National Guard thick as flies. There were barricades everywhere downtown, so many that when we were trying to leave the MAHA ball, our cab just gave up trying to get us back to our hotel and returned us to where the ball was still going strong. We had to wait until after midnight when the barriers were dropped to get over to home base at the Gaylord National Harbor.

Yes, the ball was fantastic. Credit and shoutout to Del Bigtree and team MAHA. Jill and I had the privilege and honor of sitting next to Bret Weinstein, Heather and their two fantastic boys- well, really they are young men now. I expect great things in the future from both. Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson and Russell Brand were there and together with many others provided entertainment. I got to reconnect with Dr. Oz and meet Dr. Martin (Marty) Makary (and his lovely wife) for the first time. Yes, suffice to say that both know what they are up against. And yes, I had an opportunity to meet RFK jr. in person. Somehow he seems larger than when I last saw him. And very fit. Almost larger than life. Transformed, focused, with amazing gravitas. He has been fired in the crucible of this election, and it shows.

 In the United States, elected officials, citizens, and journalists must feel free to express differences of opinion. When those in power intimidate their opponents into silence, it strikes at the heart of American governance. But holding officials accountable when they violate basic constitutional rights can be nearly impossible, especially when they are law enforcers. A new Institute for Justice lawsuit seeks to change that. 

In another dangerous escalation in the war in Ukraine, the Kiev regime has fired long-range US-made ATACMS missiles into Russian territory again.

This time the attacks appear to have centered around the area of the Khalino airfield.

This is the third time Ukraine shoots NATO-supplied and authorized missiles into Russian territory.

TRUMP SUGGESTS USING NATIONAL GURAD AGAINST 'ENEMY WITHIN' ON ELECTION DAY

Donald Trump suggested deploying the National Guard or military to respond to what he termed the “enemy from within” on Election Day, saying in an interview that aired Sunday that he was concerned about the prospect of chaos wrought by “radical left lunatics.”

“I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people,” Trump said during an interview on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” 

“It should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen,” he said.

Trump’s remarks came in response to a question from the show’s host, Maria Bartiromo, about whether he was expecting “chaos” on Election Day. At first, Trump replied, “Not from the side that votes for Trump.”

When Bartiromo raised “outside agitators,” including individuals on the terrorist watch list, Trump turned to his political opponents. 

“I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within, not even the people that have come in and [are] destroying our country,” he said.

In a later portion of the interview, the former president named Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat running for Senate, as an “enemy from within.” Schiff served as a House manager in Trump’s first impeachment and later sat on the committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol by a mob of the former president’s supporters.

“The thing that’s tougher to handle are these lunatics that we have inside, like Adam Schiff,” Trump said. — WSJ

It's not an election campaign. It's a victory march. —

 The warm breeze wafting across the U.S. Friday morning may have originated as a collective sigh of relief from U.S. business owners and economic officials. Late Thursday, an agreement was reached to send 45,000 striking longshoremen back to work, and reopen nearly 40 East and Gulf Coast ports that had been closed since Tuesday. That allows nearly half of the nation’s imports and exports to begin flowing again, and avoid the serious blow to retailers and industrial companies—and the wider economy—that could have occurred if the walkout had continued.

Independent  - Saturday August 24, 2024

Just under 10 weeks ago, 59-year-old Mike Lynch was on trial in San Francisco on 17 charges of fraud. He was almost guaranteed to receive a 25-year sentence. 

He was terrified that he would die in a US prison, not because he was guilty – he had spent £30m on legal fees arguing his innocence – but because it’s almost unheard of in the US to win a case against the US Justice Department. His chances of winning were put at 0.5 per cent. However, after 13 years of putting together detailed evidence to support his plea, he was acquitted and it felt like a miracle. 

Once back in the UK, Lynch set about celebrating what he called his second life. Through tears, he told one interviewer how even the traffic in London seemed magical. “I’m just thinking this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen,” he said.

This month, the tech tycoon took his family, friends and lawyers for fu

rther celebrations on a Mediterranean cruise aboard his luxury sailboat. It sank in a freak violent squall in the small hours of Monday. His body was discovered on Wednesday, alongside five others recovered from the sunken Bayesian superyacht with his 18-year-old daughter Hannah still reported missing.

The chance of such a yacht being knocked flat by a weather event while anchored was minuscule because it had simply never happened before. Sailing expert Stewart Campbell, editor-in-chief of Boat International, said on Newsnight: “I’ve been speaking to a lot [of people in] the industry today and they are as shocked as me – and just in utter disbelief that this could happen.”

A smart streetlight is a public lighting fixture that incorporates technology, such as cameras, light-sensing photocells and other sensors, to introduce real-time monitoring functionalities. Also referred to as adaptive lighting or intelligent street lighting, this type of lighting system is recognized as a significant step in the development of smart cities.

In addition to enabling cities to provide the proper amount of street light for local conditions, installing intelligent lighting will help improve citizen satisfaction regarding security and safety, while bringing municipalities significant savings in power consumption and lighting system maintenance. Plus, outdoor lighting infrastructure will serve as a backbone for a number of internet of everything (IoE) applications, such as monitoring weather, pollution and traffic.

As municipalities make the transition from traditional lighting to light-emitting diodes (LEDs), about 20% of this technology can be considered smart due to integration with lighting control systems, according to ABI Research. However, ABI forecasted that, by 2026, central management systems will connect to more than two-thirds of new LED streetlight installations.

The technology behind smart streetlights can vary depending on its features and requirements, but typically, it involves a combination of cameras and sensors. When implemented on standard streetlights, these devices can detect movement that enables dynamic lighting and dimming. It also allows neighboring fixtures to communicate with each other. If a pedestrian or car is detected, all surrounding lights will brighten until movement is no longer captured.

“The Council” and everyone and everything that emanates from them, has controlled the United States for the past fifty years for the purpose of extracting our nation’s wealth. Our constitutional government and the federal workforce’s purpose is to protect our wealth, and the “public good” of the American people. “The Council’s” purpose is to crush and destroy it.

They use the tools of indictments, obstruction, and government agencies they have weaponized to attack their enemies under false color of law. They alone select who will be winners and losers in politics, business, the economy, media, elections, education, and do so with complete amorality.

Exposing them by name, their corruption and means of control, and identifying how to dismantle their illegitimate power is the first step in the restoration of the United States of America as a constitutional republic.
