You have come across a mystery box. But what is inside?

You have been warned.

Visage à trois #220
US 1st Special Forces Command, a psychological warfare unit, posted a rather strange video on Twitter yesterday entitled "Ghost in the Machine".
"We can deceive, persuade, influence, change... psywar."

Musk Sets His Sights on Groups Backed by Soros and Clinton Operatives: 'Let's Investigate'
But when Musk became aware of this call for a boycott, he tweeted that he wants to investigate who is behind the idea.
Who funds these organizations that want to control your access to information? Let’s investigate …https://t.co/dBFsGjOMC8In a letter sent to major brands, like Coca-Cola, Disney, Kraft and others, more than 20 civil society groups said that marketers should secure commitments from Twitter that the social media platform will keep its policies on civic integrity and hateful conduct on the platform, CNN reported.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 3, 2022
These civil society groups said that if Twitter refuses to do so, the brands should pull funding and advertisement money from the platform.
“As top advertisers on Twitter, your brand risks association with a platform amplifying hate, extremism, health misinformation and conspiracy theorists,” the letter said.
“Your ad dollars can either fund Musk’s vanity project or hold him to account,” the letter added.
Twitter told advertisers in an investor filing on May 2 that “we have no planned changes to our commitment to brand safety” but that the company “cannot speculate on changes Elon Musk may make post closing.”
Musk, however, began tweeting that he wants to find out who exactly is behind this boycott movement.
“Sunlight is the best disinfectant,” the billionaire tweeted.
When one Twitter user suggested that an organization related to George Soros will likely be one of the groups behind the boycott, Musk replied, “I will call him and ask.”
Musk then tweeted again, “George, please slide into my DMs!”
The New York Post reported that the organizations behind the letter are also backed by “former Clinton operatives,” the European Union and the Canadian government.
“Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter will further toxify our information ecosystem and be a direct threat to public safety, especially among those already most vulnerable and marginalized,” the letter said.
They also warned that Musk will turn Twitter into a place for...
Losing the People? Then Change the Rules
The Left sees success only through altering the rules of governance or changing the demography of the electorate—or both.
Court packing—the attempt to enlarge the size of the Supreme Court for short-term political purposes—used to be a dirty word in the history of American jurisprudence.
The tradition of a nine-person Supreme Court is now 153 years old. The last attempt to expand it for political gain was President Franklin Roosevelt’s failed effort in 1937. FDR’s gambit was so blatantly political that even his overwhelming Democratic majority in Congress rebuffed him.
Yet now “court packing” is a law school cause célèbre. It is hailed as a supposedly quick fix to reverse the current 5-4 conservative majority.
Recently, a rough draft of an opinion purportedly overturning the Roe v. Wade decision that had legalized abortion in all 50 states was leaked to the media by someone inside the court.
That insider leak of a draft opinion was a first in the modern history of the Supreme Court. It violated all court protocols. Yet it was met with stunning approval from the American Left.
The leaker either intended to create a preemptive public backlash against the purported court majority in the hope that one or two justices might cave and switch under pressure—or to gin up the progressive base to fend off a likely disaster in the November midterm elections.
The recent leak, however, is consistent with a left-wing assault on the Court that has intensified over the last five years. Democrats have gone ballistic ever since George W. Bush and especially Donald Trump’s appointees solidified a conservative majority.
During Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings in 2018, protestors stormed the Senate chambers in protest. The Left rallied behind the now-convicted felon Michael Avenatti, who publicized crazy, wildly untrue charges about a teenaged Kavanagh.
Later in spring 2020, Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) whipped up a protest crowd right in front of the Supreme Court. He directly threatened Justices Neil Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. “I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
What exactly did Schumer mean by “you will pay the price” or “you won’t know what hit you”?
Who or what would hit the two justices—and how exactly?
But it is not just the Court the Left is targeting. Long-standing institutions and even constitutional directives are now fair game.
At the 2020 funeral of Representative John Lewis (D-Ga.), former President Barack Obama crudely proposed bringing in Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. as states—and with them likely four left-wing senators.
Obama’s “eulogy” also damned the 180-year-old Senate filibuster. Yet as a senator, Obama himself resorted to the filibuster in an effort to block the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.
The Electoral College is under continued assault, especially since George W. Bush in 2000 and Donald Trump in 2016 were elected without winning the popular vote.
The founders’ arguments for the Electoral College are never mentioned. But the drafters of the Constitution felt it forced candidates to visit rural areas. They believed it would discourage European-style multiple splinter parties. It made voter fraud more difficult on a national scale. And it emphasized the United States of America. That is, America today is 50 unique states that are represented as such in presidential elections.
The Biden Administration also narrowly failed to push through a...
