Cali Curtails Community Security! The Aliens are Coming! Eat More Beans!META Mischief! Morocco is Murdering Mutts

“LA residents fought rampant break-ins with ingenious solution — now the city is forcing them to stop” (California Post)

Here is the modern California equation: Police response times lapse and stretch, break-ins rise, residents organize.

Residents install deterrents. They harden perimeters. They take responsibility for the square footage their taxes supposedly protect.

And then the city intervenes.

The same authorities who cannot meaningfully prevent crime suddenly discover the regulatory energy to prevent prevention.

It’s all part of process.

You’re told to hire private security—effectively paying twice for protection your property taxes were meant to fund—but heaven forbid that neighbors should coordinate visible deterrence measures.

The Administrative State prefers process to results.

And now in California, self-protection requires a permit.

“Trump Says He Will Release Files on Aliens and U.F.O.s (NYTs)

If the long-rumored announcement finally comes—the one where a president says that we are not alone—it is almost theatrically inevitable that it would be Donald Trump delivering it.

At heart, Trump is a showman. He understands staging. He understands spectacle. He understands that history is not merely made—it is branded.

And what greater branding opportunity exists than the disclosure of aliens from outer space?

Presidents before him have flirted with mystery, commissioned reports, hinted at unidentifiable aerial phenomenon. Trump, by temperament, would prefer the curtain pull. The headline. The moment that freezes the room.

And no better date for the Big Reveal than the anniversary of the Roswell Incident—the 1947 event in which an unidentified craft was reported to have crashed near Roswell, New Mexico.

The Roswell that now hosts an annual UFO Festival complete with parades, panels, and alien-themed merchandise.

If you’re going to confirm extraterrestrials, you don’t do it on a Tuesday in February.

You do it on an anniversary. You do it when the cameras are already pointed. You do it when myth and marketing overlap.

If humanity is finally introduced to the broader universe, someone will want to own the opening line.

And Trump, more than any modern political figure, has always understood the power of delivering it.

Let’s dispense with the pretense.

Meta does not design neutral platforms.

It designs engagement machines.

And engagement, in Silicon Valley, means duration. Frequency. Compulsion. Return behavior. The more time a user spends scrolling, the more data harvested. The more data harvested, the more precisely ads are delivered. The more precisely ads are delivered, the higher the revenue.

This is not accidental design. It is what they do.

Which raises the question plaintiff attorneys should press with surgical precision:

What, precisely, are the job descriptions of your psychologists?

Are they tasked with maximizing user well-being—or maximizing time-on-platform?

Where are their internal reports? What metrics do they analyze?

Which of their recommendations were integrated into product features—infinite scroll, algorithmic reinforcement, notification triggers, intermittent reward loops?

Addiction is rarely spontaneous.

It is engineered.

Slot machines rely on intermittent variable reward schedules.

Social media feeds rely on the same behavioral principles: unpredictable validation, algorithmic novelty, social comparison, outrage spikes.

If Meta employs psychologists—and it does—then the inquiry is simple: Were those professionals designing guardrails… or designing hypnotic hooks?

This trial is about whether the platforms were deliberately optimized to exploit cognitive vulnerabilities—especially in adolescents—while publicly insisting they were merely providing “connection.”

Compulsion requires design. And design leaves documentation.

That’s where to find the real answers.

They know.

“There’s one U.S. town where residents live significantly longer. It’s in California” (SF Gate)

When you read about a place where people outlive the rest of the world, your first instinct might be to move there. Or at least cart in mystical minerals or secret springs.

But the story out of Loma Linda, California, isn’t alchemy.

It’s edible, as in daily eating habits.

At the heart of it: Seventh-day Adventists, a community whose dietary norms are backed by decades of health research.

Their plates are built on a foundation of plant foods—leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds. These aren’t side salads with protein on top. This is salad as entrée.

Where mainstream diets rely on animal products, this community uses beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peas—dense in fiber, low in saturated fat, and big on satiety. This swaps energy spikes for metabolic steadiness.

Add nuts and seeds as essential fats: walnuts, almonds, flax, chia—sources of omega-3s, antioxidants, and healthy oils. Adventists treat these not as snacks but as nutritional pillars.

Hydration is basic, not branded. Water and herbal teas outnumber caffeine and cola.

And it’s not just what they eat—it’s how they eat, a consistent lifestyle practice. Regular mealtimes, balanced plates, and a cultural reframing food as medicine for longevity, not just comfort for the moment.

So, before anyone wonders if there’s something sacred in the soil there, the truth is simpler: longevity in this community tracks back to lifestyle models that oppose the American norm of excess, speed, convenience, and synthetics.

They eat real food—as unadulterated as possible—that diminishes inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and early mortality.

They pile plants on the plate, not calories.

They treat nuts as assets, not garnishes.

They choose fiber over fat.

They view meat as seasoning, not sustenance.

Science agrees. Adventists as a population have been a focus of longevity research since the 1950s because their eating habits consistently correlate with lower rates of heart disease and diabetes, and a longer average lifespan than their neighbors.

Longevity doesn’t lurk in a ZIP code.

It lives in a fork, a mindset, and a daily commitment to eating smart.

If you want a blueprint for a true “Blue Zone” existence—it’s the Adventist eating regimen.

“Outrage as three MILLION dogs to be ‘massacred’ by firing squad ahead of the World Cup” (Daily Mail)

If even a fraction of this is true, it is grotesque.

Morocco—co-host of the 2030 FIFA World Cup—stands accused by animal welfare groups of conducting widespread street dog culls: round ups, shootings, poisonings.

The justification?

Urban “preparation.” Clean streets. Presentable host cities. No strays wandering into the background of broadcast shots.

FIFA markets the World Cup as a global celebration of humanity.

If the reports are accurate, the question shifts to sponsors, players, federations, and fans: Is a month of spectacle worth a campaign of slaughter?

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

— Mahatma Gandhi

Street dogs have no voice.

But you do.

Make it heard.

“Freemasons lose legal bid to stop Met officers disclosing membership” (The Telegraph)

Quite right.

Law enforcement cannot operate under dual loyalty.

If you carry a badge, you should not also carry a private oath that binds you to protect “brothers” first.

France learned this the hard way, where elements of Freemasonry deeply penetrated law enforcement and the judiciary—and then got co-opted by organized crime networks. A system that continues today.

Public servants must disclose affiliations that might compromise impartiality.

That is not anti-Masonic. It is pro-rule-of-law.
