The Coming Darkness
Act Now: Our media is both cowed and under foreign takeover.
Our media and communications are under active threat from both government action and foreign control, but we can combat it if we work together and network. While Kimmel’s firing was reversed, the the FCC and President were clear that certain criticisms will be met with lawsuits and official government actions. Because most broadcast and print media are owned by larger corporations, the pressure to protect the bottom line is already leading to self-censoring. From Timothy Snyder’s “On Tyranny” we know that this is what authoritarians depend because no matter how powerful, they cannot force submission of an unwilling, unified population—Do Not Obey In Advance.
In addition to this article, please see my first two articles about the Israeli-Thiel international coalition that is at work here and in Europe and focus on that, not the daily outrages of President Trump (MAGA is dead; Long live NatCons | NatCons v America)
Foreign Interference
We know from the Joint Senate Report led by Marco Rubio that we have been subject to Russian influence campaigns for a decade, but after the October 7th Hamas attacks and resulting Israeli invasion of Gaza, Israel began an concerted effort to limit disfavored content in the United States. That includes TikTok discussed below, but also at least Meta (Instagram, Facebook). With Israel’s genocide in Gaza finishing the final phase, that control will be on overdrive. Note that Meta at least has equated criticism of Zionists and Israel with hate speech towards Jews as an ethnic or religious group. The below speech is by former Israeli official Jordana Cutler who is now Meta’s Public Policy Director for Israel and the Jewish Diaspora. Listen closely and you’ll hear that unfavored covered of Israeli controlled entities is restricted, not just ‘hate speech’ towards Jews.
Compromised Outlets
While it’s obvious that OAN, Newsmax, FOX News, Truth Social, and X are effectively government outlets, do not ignore that what is happening in the broader media landscape and are more of an issue because the general public probably considers them to be mainstream media or social media.
TikTok — It has effectively been captured by Israel as of the Friday after Kirk’s shooting. Please see the American Conservative article, but it goes further than that. Also see Fair.org.
Meta: Facebook | Instagram — As of right now, I only know that they are censoring content deemed unfriendly to the genocide in Gaza, but compromised is compromised and from baseline post performance perspective, it seems like there is an algorithmic bias against posts critical of the government. If not, I expect that their will be.
Paramount Properties — Soon effectively controlled by IDF/Mossad:
CBS News: CBS already has a ‘bias’ monitor installed that reports directly to President Trump, but reports are that The Free Press founder and editor will be taking complete control shortly. This will be a radical shift to pro-government coverage.

Disfavored Topics
These are the most sensitive topics from President Trump on down to state officials, NGOs and foreign controlled social media:
Questioning the FBI Narrative on Kirk’s Assassination.
Criticizing Israel’s Genocide in Gaza.
Negative ICE Messaging.
All things Epstein/Maxwell.
Comedians Generally
It’s important to note that Jimmy Kimmel posted a somber message the day of Kirk’s assassination and did not in anyway make light of it in the episode that made him the FCC and President’s target—he criticized the President and MAGA response (BBC, The Wrap). Like many things lately, the original clip has disappeared from my best source for it. Here is exactly what Kimmel said:
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
Online, the backlash towards anyone raising questions is even worse. In the interest of efficiency, I haven’t linked sources, but everyone from former Navy SeALS and other special forces veterans to Candace Owen, Tucker Carlson, and possibly Nick Fuentes are being attacked and pressured from TPUSA affiliated sources and followers. It’s not just in online comments. Candace Owens & Alex Jones both issued brief retractions after getting called by TPUSA official Andrew Kolvet. Alex Jones offered a different version of Kolvet’s explanation of the lack of an exit wound, but it’s seems clear that people that are getting “the call” and possibly even a warning similar to the one that Utah Governor Spencer Cox received from the President immediately after calling for American’s to come together instead of using the Administration and Heritage’s script attacking “the left.”
Communications Risks
From our companion publication Resistance Rabbit we know that one of the United States Army’s most advanced surveillance planes was circling at low altitude by the Utah Valley University a couple hours before the Charlie Kirk assassination and then returned to begin another pass one minute before the shot was fired. If you’ll check out FlightRadar for AXEL10 you’ll find that this intelligence asset is being tasked for domestic surveillance daily.
We also know that ICE is using Stingray devices to capture cell phone communications within areas of ICE operations. From Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the “Fifty States One Israel” conference last week it seems apparent that Israel believes it has capabilities inside very phone in the US. He told every state legislator present “But you have cell phones? You have cell phones here? No. You’re holding a piece of Israel right there.” What we do not know is if that’s just TikTok or if it includes other apps or components.
Action Steps
While this is all taking place ‘above our pay grade’ there are some simple steps you can take to both protect yourself and positively influence the nation.
Reinforce your personal, offline communication network. How would you get in touch with someone if you didn’t have social media and/or your cell phone contact list?
Share stories that matter, especially posts of people you trust. In my testing with TikTok and Facebook, they aren’t “censoring” my posts, but they are throttled so not many people see them. For example, my post on the AXEL10 flight has only been seen 61 times since Saturday, compared to a low of 454 before and a general range of 1,000 to 9,000 views. Sharing posts that you find credible and effective will reach your audience even if the social media you use doesn’t favor the content.
Harden your phones. iPhone and Androids both have lockdown mode that can prevent inadvertent malware and phishing attacks.
Seek out and start following non-corporate media sources, and support ones you can. I will include a specific pitch for supporting my work here and on Resistance Rabbit at the end, but below are the sources I follow and subscribe to when I can afford it at renewal time. If you subscribe to one, please let me know and we can share your automatic gift subscriptions below.
Olga Lautman (multiple publications)
The Atlantic (I can share guest articles as it’s my top priority to pay for; I’d rather have you subscribe to mine if your budget is limited).
Read the essential sources. I recommend that everyone read “On Tyranny” by Timothy Snyder immediately—it’s short. Beyond that, reacquaint yourself with the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the New Testament (specifically Galatians 3), and the Federalist Papers. Even if you are well grounded, this is my toolkit for responding to friends, family and online posts.
Actively Combat Mindless Manipulation (see next section).
Actively Resist Manipulation—Share With Others
I would also encourage every single person to both watch the following videos and share them with as many friends as possible. The more people that we make aware that we are in the middle of both aggressive political spin and in foreign psyops the better chance we have of avoiding civil unrest and a polarizing response that only gives the government more power and distracts Americans from the domestic and foreign operations at play.

Support This Mission
I am decent at fundraising for others, but not for myself. The pace of events in United States is a full time job to keep up with, and the traditional funding for political activity and legal assistance is under immense strain. If you can, subscribe to this publication so that I can continue this work through at least through the monumental November Fort Worth election. I’m not going to pretend that this publication is worth the cost, but it’s a small part of what I’m doing, including direct activism, communications with senior elected officials, and coordinating groups from here to Houston to Southwest Virginia. Resistance Rabbit subscriptions are also available.
As a whole in Fort Worth, those of us dedicated to this are woefully undersupplied. I have put together an Amazon Wishlist of things that would be helpful. Specifically body cams would be a great addition for personal safety, but everything helps.
Post-publication - xAI Government contract:
Shortly after publishing I saw that the United States reached an agreement with Elon Musk’s xAI to use Grok on government systems. Commentators raised concerns due to Grok’s recent revision to become ‘less woke’ and its tendency to quote Hitler. I believe that is just a short term presentation of the long term danger. The mere demonstration that the software can be changed to reflect a different perspective on reality is dangerous when the software is in control of one man. It is even more dangerous when that man is a triple citizen (South Africa, Canada, United States) and has longer term ties to a senior Chinese Communist Party official than to the President of the United Staes.
Beyond the concentrated power and divided loyalty, Musk’s acquisition of Twitter (now X) was only possible with a sizable investment by Saudi Arabia, and the parent company xAI also has significant Saudi Arabian ownership. I’ll note that I meant a Saudi Prince and the Kingdom Holding Company, not just some citizen(s) of Saudi Arabia.



This is quite compelling.
