SAM NEILL: Castle Rock-WA

Oh!

Sam Neill, star of Jurassic Park and Peaky Blinders, dies aged 78: https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/celebrity/sam-neill-star-of-jurassic-park-and-peaky-blinders-dies-aged-78/ar-AA27M9SJ?ocid=BingNewsVerp

Sad news greeting my sleepy eyes, this morning - R.I.P. Sam; you gave good performances & will be remembered well.

While Sam is being remembered in his obit for playing Dr. Alan Grant in the "Jurassic Park" … which was a good & fun movie, that I did enjoy - it is not my favorite character movie. I first saw Sam's star-worthy acting, in Omen III: The Final Conflict - and was so captivated by his performance, that I watched pretty much everything he did after that.

1981 Last Days horror,  OMEN III

Plus, he was eye candy, as well as an excellent character actor.

I think today will be a day of favored Sam movie memories, binging …

AI STEALING CORPORATE MONIES

NOT OKAY 😡

The government cannot "force" 😤 people to give up their property; which includes income!

I seriously doubt that ["69%"] of "Americans" support government reaching into their pockets and ripping them off to support low-life neighbors.

SOCIALISM 🤡 COMMUNISM 😈 NAZISM 👺 & ISLAMISM 👹 TAKES WHAT IS NOT THEIRS AND ENSLAVES 😭 PEOPLE 🤬

{{Majority of US workers support an AI wealth fund as tech layoffs surge, survey finds

~Story by Justina Lee

* Sixty-nine percent of Americans now support "forcing" AI firms to transfer 50% of their stock to a public sovereign wealth fund, according to a survey by research firm Verasight.

* The rising number of tech layoffs in the U.S. has left many workers frustrated and worried over job security.

* Sovereign wealth funds can serve in multiple roles when it comes to AI, but also face challenges managing between the public good and the global race to build AI capabilities.

A majority of U.S. employees now want to hold corporations more accountable via an AI sovereign wealth fund, amid dissatisfaction over a growing number of tech layoffs despite higher overall corporate profits, according to a recent poll.

The national survey of 1,690 adults by research firm Verasight, which was carried out in June and published earlier this month, suggests that 69% of Americans now support "forcing" AI firms to transfer 50% of their stock to a public sovereign wealth fund.

"In the eyes of the public, AI Sovereign funds are seen as a tool to distribute the gains from the AI industry back to broader society," said Benjamin Leff, chief executive officer of Verasight.

In June, Senator Bernie Sanders proposed the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act which, if passed, would give the public a 50% stake in the largest AI companies in the U.S.

"It would guarantee that the economic benefits generated by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — not simply to make the richest people in the world even richer," Sanders said in a statement last month.

"The future of AI and the fate of humanity must not be decided behind closed doors in Silicon Valley by billionaires seeking to maximize their power and profit," Sanders said.

The rising number of tech layoffs in the U.S. have left many workers frustrated and worried over job security, as corporations continue to ramp up capital expenditure for AI expansion.

Goldman Sachs Senior Global Economist Joseph Briggs estimates that more than 9% of the labor force, or around 15 million workers, could lose their jobs during a 10-year AI transition period, the bank said in a report published last month.

This "would be the type of automation and reallocation shock that we saw in the late '90s and early 2000s and in other periods of significant technological change," Briggs said.

"But [Briggs] believes these losses will prove temporary owing to his expectation that AI will create many new jobs over the long term even as it destroys existing ones," the Goldman Sachs report says.

Sovereign wealth funds can serve in multiple roles when it comes to AI. They can lead development of AI at a national level by funding capital-intensive AI infrastructure, take equity stakes in AI companies and capture a share of AI-driven economic gains for the public treasury, according to research firm Windfall Trust.

However, sovereign wealth funds could also face challenges in managing between the public good and the global race to build AI capabilities.

"There is also a tension between the financial mandate (maximize returns for citizens) and the strategic mandate (build national AI capacity, maintain influence over frontier systems), since these objectives can conflict when the best financial investment is a foreign AI company rather than a domestic one," Windfall Trust added.

SOCIALISM-COMMUNISM REALITIES

~Daniil Kleyman; July 7th, 2026

I made a post yesterday about socialism and naturally every highly educated progressive, mostly from California (shocker) showed up to tell me that I don’t know what real socialism or communism is. First of all, I really don’t know where we would be without all of you college educated geniuses that have never left America or lived anywhere else. Thank you all for your wisdom. That third tier community college degree from San Bernardino is really paying off for you.

While I may not have the benefit of your incredible educations (actually I do) what I do have the benefit of is having actually lived under communism for close to 12 years. I’ve experienced the “warmth of collectivism”.

As a 10 year-old, I regularly stood in lines for 4 to 5 hours to govt owned grocery stores simply waiting for a food truck to arrive so they could stock the fully empty shelves with bread and milk. I am talking 1920-s Great Depression style food lines, in the dead of winter, freezing my balls off.

The picture you see here is of a food ration card issued to my mother and food coupons which we had to exchange along with money for food at these incredible government owned grocery stores. (Yes I saved these when we came here in 1992)

I've lived in crappy government built housing tenements because that's literally all that was available as no private enterprise existed to build/offer alternatives.

I've experienced a society that was in decay because, despite promises of equality and a good standard of living, all the wealth and power was amassed at the top by communist party leaders and their cronies. (Yes - in this way communism is no different than capitalism in that power still gets accumulated at the top. Just by different means).

So maybe before you start lecturing others about what socialism really is or being arrogant enough to think that even though it’s failed every single time it’s ever been tried in real life…. It can work this time because you are smarter and it “just hasn’t been done correctly” maybe listen to the people who have actually experienced it first hand. I’m talking real socialism/communism. Not the fake shit from Scandinavia.

Oh and I don't want to hear anything about how socialism isn't same as communism blah blah blah. Yes - they're the same thing. Even your idol marx, didn't hold any real distinction between the two.

A RESPONSE TO NY SOCIALIST COUP

~Dutch Valkema; July 3rd, 2026

You sat behind George Washington’s desk, albeit from the wrong side because Communists don’t know the working end of ANYTHING - today, surrounded by newly naturalized citizens, and delivered a speech so riddled with irony and historical amnesia that it demands a full response.

Let’s start with the overarching irony: You are a self‑proclaimed socialist who fled Uganda and was welcomed into America’s arms. You now enjoy the freedom, security, and prosperity that only this capitalist republic provides - and you use that platform to denounce the very system that saved you. You are a living testament to America’s generosity, yet you repay it with revolutionary contempt. That is not courage. That is ingratitude dressed as righteousness.

Now, to your statements:

On your assault on American greatness: You decried “oligarchs” and “trillionaires” while accepting a salary funded by New York’s capitalist engine. You sneer at wealth, yet every socialist regime in history: from the Soviet gulags to Venezuela’s collapsed hospitals, began with that same grievance and ended with breadlines, secret police, and a ruling class far more brutal than any CEO. You call for “equity.” History calls that a prelude to famine. America’s 250 years have lifted more people out of poverty than any system on earth, not because we are perfect, but because we embrace freedom, not coercion.

On your lecture about borders and law:

You called ICE enforcement “terror.” The real terror is socialist states that seal their borders to keep their own people in. You weep for those who enter unlawfully, but say nothing of the millions who wait legally and who respect our sovereignty. Your open‑border ideology is not compassion; it is a deliberate strategy to dilute citizenship, because citizenship is the only thing standing between your ideology and total power. You know that. That is why you attack it.

On your distortion of patriotism:

You said patriotism is “righteous dissent.” No... dissent is a right, not a virtue unto itself. Patriotism is loyalty to the constitutional order that protects that dissent. You are not loyal. You mock the flag while swearing oaths on it. You denounce the military while enjoying the security it provides. That is the calculated cynicism of every authoritarian‑in‑waiting.

On your historical audacity:

You invoked Washington: a flawed man, yes, but one who rejected monarchy and established the peaceful transfer of power. Contrast that with your ideological heroes: Lenin, Mao, and Castro: men who murdered tens of millions in the name of “the people.” You sit in Washington’s chair and lecture us on moral failure? The only failure is your inability to see that America’s sins are exceptions to its principles, whereas socialism’s atrocities are the inevitable products of its principles.

On this 250th anniversary:

You want to “take measure.” Let’s take measure of you. You have called to defund police, embraced allies who praise dictators, and normalized the abnormal. You make tyranny sound like empathy. You sell collectivism as community, when in truth it is the erasure of the individual... the very soul of American liberty.

You are not a reformer. You are a carrier of a 150‑year‑old plague that has killed over 100 million people. You are not a patriot; you are a revolutionary using municipal office as a staging ground for subversion. And the final irony? You are a guest in this house: a house built by free hands, not state planners. You are welcome to stay, but you are not welcome to burn it down.

Step away from Washington’s desk. You haven’t earned the right to sit in his chair. And to every single American: do not appease this man. Remember him...because history remembers what happens when we ignore the socialist with a smile.

Happy 250th, America. You must guard your freedom like your ancestors did, because people like Mamdani are counting on you to forget it.

THE NWO DEMONRATS & SPAT WITH FB TEAM; Castle Rock-WA

An article that caught my attention flashed through my newsfeed this morning, so I posted it to my FB - which is a private account, with a very small reach (mostly family & close friends; perhaps 20 people max); and immediately my post was flagged & I was sent a warning:

Well … that global "warning" & my Page labeled "issues" got my immediate attention - with an immediate response:

"Okay - so, the muslim FB Team has flagged my account … and yu'all know how much I like being told what to do, where to stand, and to "sit down and shut up!" … apparently, the FB Team has issue with me posting that hitler was the ultimate progressive. Too bad - truth sucks for snakes in the grass. SO, in response to the team bullshit, I'M REPOSTING THE PICTURES REMOVED; & will be shut down."

Immediately, I fired off a return shot across their global bow:

[**** you, FB Team. This is still America & I can say anything I want to say, show any picture I want to show, and think rational thoughts. We are not an islamic regime yet and socialism-communism is not a wide-spread disease yet. I'M REPOSTING THE PICTURES REMOVED. Bite me.]

keyen prince & new york rapper: from stealth islam socialism to open islam communism.
Hitler - the ultimate 'progressive'. This is the posted picture that gave the FB Team heartburn & resulted in my Page being flagged. It's a true representation of the obamanite party - which currently is a toxic blend of islam, socialism=communism=nazism; and I'm not backing down on calling it out for what it is. If I lose my FB account, so be it. They need me for head count to keep their platform viable … I don't need them.

The new world order demonrats have a coup plan that seriously includes eliminating the U.S. Senate and replacing the president and the Supreme Court with an executive branch and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.

Congress is now 75% muslim - if not actual physical muslim … certainly focused on muslim rhetoric … funded by foreign muslim $$$$$$; and 25% progressive ideology - both sides of the DC aisle. American Citizens are not really getting representation from anyone sitting on their pampered, disgruntled asses, in DC … and American patriots are getting the royal shafting from civil leaders that lean towards the DC shenanigans, with their eye on the Presidential Seat.

Follow the money trail & you can clearly see what's what.

obamanite demonrats are openly embracing nazism = case & point: platner, the maine demonrat candidate - THAT ALL THE DEMONRAT POLITICAL ELITES PUSHED FORWARD & STOOD BESIDE, grinning like demented idiots and pooh-poohing his diabolical background … simply because they are being eaten alive by hatred for 1 man in particular, American Life, and Americans, in general.

The obama party candidate, platner's skull & bones tattoo, is a Totenkopf = the image used by Nazi police during the Nazi era. And not a single demonrat had a problem with that.

History is playing itself out: not present history, but old history. muslim invasion and political coups are nothing new; it's been happening since the ottoman empire staged its first divide & conquer coup & the main goal of muslims today, is to rise the ottoman empire, again.

And the irony is that ALL of the socialist = communist [primary winners] are FUNDED BY CAPITALIST $$$$$$$$ and demonic hatred, whipped into a frenzy by the keyen prince, obama, who considers himself the muslim messiah; and his devotees.

Since obama, the working class has suffered tremendously - because of asinine laws that have done more damage than good: raising wages & forcing obamacare nonsense, puts heavy strains on employers who are already shouldering hefty taxes and insurance demands; by raising wages $10-$20 … most employers are forced to close their business. When businesses close, the paychecks end. Workers need to understand the basic rules of employment: no job = no income. Pretty elementary, Sherlock. Add to that … when wages raise, so does the rent, the groceries, gas, ect.: EVERYONE gets a raise. And now business are fleeing deep blue states & their taxing insanity - and loss of jobs for workers in those states, is skyrocketing. Plus, the worker is now bumped to a higher tax level, and their pocket is hit with that hit.

Raising wages is not beneficial, in the long run. It may seem like a good idea, but it's not. People need to learn to live within their means and stop envying the guy next door for what he WORKED FOR AND SAVED TOWARDS.

There will always be a significant gap between the employee and employer - it has been that way, since the beginning of time. Communism won't change that. Socialism is just a misleading name for communism; they are the same ideology with the same outcome: a 3rd world mindset, a ghetto community, and a depressed society living in poverty & squalor.

And islam has always been bad - it was born out of evilness, it practices wickedness, and it's a perverted, destructive force, wherever it sinks it's talons.

Americans need to wake up and stop this muslim invasion.

{{Socialists launch radical platform to abolish the US Senate in bid to fundamentally transform America

~Story by Peter Pinedo

As many of its candidates notch electoral wins nationwide, the pre-eminent socialist political group in the U.S., the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), plans to roll out an updated platform that includes eliminating the Senate and replacing the president and the Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by Congress.

According to a source familiar with the DSA’s planning, the organization plans to roll out an update next week to its long-term vision for a U.S. policy platform. The update includes eliminating the U.S. Senate and replacing the president and the Supreme Court with an executive branch and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.

Additionally, the updated platform would include amnesty for all immigrants and defunding the Department of War.

This would be in addition to the DSA’s current policy platform, which calls for an "immediate end to all deportations," free migration between countries without restrictive immigration controls, and "extending full voting rights to people with criminal convictions and noncitizens."

Once considered a fringe movement on the Democratic Party’s progressive wing, the DSA has been gaining relevance with several of its members toppling longtime establishment party figures. This has prompted many to speculate that the DSA represents the Democratic Party’s future.

While the DSA has endorsed the likes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., perhaps the most prominent member of the group is New York City socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Mamdani, an immigrant from Uganda, burst onto the national consciousness this year after he defeated former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2025.

Since Mamdani’s victory, the DSA has continued to gain momentum, with four of its endorsed candidates — Melat Kiros of Colorado, Darializa Avila-Chevalier of New York, Adam Hamawy of New York and Donavan McKinney of Michigan — each defeating sitting Democratic members of Congress in recent months.

These and other victories have emboldened the DSA, which touts itself as a "working-class alternative to the Democratic Party." After a recent round of primary victories, the DSA proclaimed that "only socialism can solve decades of capitalist mismanagement in the US."

The group added that "our newly elected leaders will fight for the working class — not for crumbs."

In addition to radically altering the country’s three-branch form of government, the DSA’s existing platform also advocates establishing a 32-hour work week "with no reduction in pay or benefits," the passage of Medicare for all, canceling all student loan debt, the elimination of cash bail and universal rent control.

In its program for 2025-2026, the DSA calls for a "new democratic constitution" that it says would establish civil, political, and democratic rights for all based on proportional representation in a "single federal legislature."

Fox News Digital reached out to the DSA for comment.
