No other way to describe them. For your connections chart if you don't already have it: Power is married to Harvard law prof Cass Sunstein, creator of the "nudge" principle (how to manipulate the people bit by bit to achieve state ends). - https://www.wikiwand.com/en/articles/Cass_Sunstein - [Nudge](https://library.lol/main/2F655DCDA784A06DFE867424DE24FA42): Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness — "At first I squirmed at the authors' idea of "libertarian paternalism." But they made a compelling case about how government, when it designs systems, affects people's choices and why not do it in a way that makes people better off. I think there is less argument on what makes people better than most think. Very few can argue people are worse off if they: save more, smoke less, exercise more, etc. And with one of the authors taking an important role in the Obama administration, it's useful to read this book and under the with prism with which a lot of future policy decisions will be made." - [Biden administration on track for $1 trillion in improper payments](https://archive.ph/zEeTP)   ### Free Speech  [The Left’s Open Declaration of War on Free Speech](https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/10/05/the-lefts-open-declaration-of-war-on-free-speech/)   ### Misc - [NASA Bought Facial Recognition Tech Clearview AI](https://www.404media.co/nasa-bought-facial-recognition-tech-clearview-ai/) - [Noncitizen voting amendment on NC 2024 ballot, an FAQ](https://carolinapublicpress.org/66107/noncitizen-voting-amendment-nc-2024-ballot-faq/) ### Add Old Dig to Index - Chemtrails and Cloud Brightening from early 2023. %%Footer Starts Here%% --- ![[Brain Icon 1.png|center]] <b><font color="#ffffff"> <center>You might not have noticed it… but your brain did.</center> </font></b> --- ### Tags ### Linked Pages & Footnotes
