The FBI is warning that several fabricated videos are misusing its name and insignia to promote false claims of problems at the polls.
A written statement purported to come from the FBI urges media and bloggers not to publish information about attacks at polling stations, saying dissemination of stories about violence could cause such incidents to increase. The FBI says that statement is false and did not come from the bureau.
One fabricated video that impersonates the FBI and a federal government agency urges schools to suspend educational activities through November 11 because of the risk of violence, shootings and riots. Another claims the FBI received 9,000 complaints about malfunctioning voting machines. The FBI says neither video came from the bureau and the contents of both are false.
The FBI did not identify who might be responsible for the manufactured videos, but it’s the latest warning of disinformation that’s being spread and the latest instance of the FBI singling out the misuse of its name and insignia to promote false narratives..

Not really.

I’m watching Germany in 1938.
I find it remarkable.

Watching through closed fingers.

Started watching an Agatha Christie movie on my laptop. Turned out to be about the very wealthy and politicians. Watched it with peeks at the TV screen. Bah.
Think I will go to bed soon. -
I am feeling very discouraged. I would like to just go to sleep but don’t think I can.

So -how do we position ourselves to make money based on the current situation?
We’re all Republicans now!

Wow. This is not what I wanted to wake up to…

If only this was the only worry…
I’m thinking of all the many things he’s said that give us a glimpse of the future he envisions for America. Remember when he said “You have to get out and vote. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore.. In four years, you won’t have to vote again.“
I don’t know if America will be able to withstand all the ways Trumpism will seek to dismantle it.
And it’s “trumpism” I’m most worried about, bc it’s not just him, but all the people he’s surrounding himself with. The trumpification of America is pretty terrifying, but the muskification might be even more so…

Trump is a tool of the oligarchs. What we are going to see is what the oligarchs want. What do they want?
You'd think as rich as they are, they wouldn't want for anything. But no, they have to own America, on top of being billionaires.
I have been putting off reading "Autocracy, Inc." by Anne Applebaum, as I didn't need the added stress. But I think it may be an essential read now, to understand where we go from here.
Mr Pique posited last night that Trump is not going to last long as President. The people who put him in the oval office will get everyone on board with the 25th Amendment, he'll be removed because he is unfit, and then our president will be JD Vance. That's the person they wanted. Trump was just a means of getting him there.

This is my thought as well. Whether it's because they will work to remove him, or his health with cause something.
And Vance IMO will be far more dangerous than Trump.

They got Epstein. If they want to get Trump out of the way they may wait for an opportune time.

I went to bed, got up in the morning, and glanced at YouTube feeds from networks, newspapers, and alternative media.
I wasn't surprised because it happened about the way I predicted it would about six months ago.
Unfortunately, I couldn't spend much time on the internet. I had a busy day.
I had to do tasks like switch my phone service. That took 3 1/2 hours because I had to get information from my current carrier and then call my new one. Most of that time was spent on hold. I'm glad I finished it because I wouldn't want to start again.
I have a lot of similar tasks to get done today.
I'll probably have time to look at it sometime today or tomorrow at the latest.

@ShiroKuro totally agree. Read the profile of him in last week's New Yorker. Truly frightening.
