      Definition of Domestic Terrorism
        https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2331
        Definition of Domestic Terrorism
          [!SUMMARY]
          Under 18 U.S. Code § 2331(5), domestic terrorism is defined by activities occurring primarily within U.S. jurisdiction that violate criminal laws, endanger human life, and are intended to intimidate civilians or influence government policy. It is a descriptive classification used for investigations rather than a specific distinct criminal charge.
        Legal Criteria
          According to 18 U.S. Code § 2331(5), an act must meet all three of the following conditions to be classified as domestic terrorism:
        The Act Itself
          Must involve acts dangerous to human life.
          Must be a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any individual state.
        The Location
          Must occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.
          *Distinction*: This separates it from International Terrorism, which transcends national boundaries.
        The Intent
          The acts must appear to be intended to accomplish at least one of the following:
          Intimidate or coerce a civilian population.
          Influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion.
          Affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping.
        Important Distinctions
        Not a "Charging" Statute
          There is no specific federal crime titled "Domestic Terrorism."
          Prosecutors charge individuals with specific criminal acts (e.g., Arson, Murder, Weapons Offenses).
          Law Enforcement (e.g., the Federal Bureau of Investigation) uses the label for investigative and intelligence-gathering purposes.
        Ideology vs. Violence
          The FBI and Department of Homeland Security use the term Domestic Violent Extremism (DVE).
          Protected Speech: Believing in or advocating for an extremist ideology is protected by the First Amendment.
          Criminal Act: Violence committed in furtherance of that ideology constitutes domestic terrorism.
        Common Categories
          The FBI categorizes threats into several buckets:
          Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremism (e.g., White supremacy).
          Anti-Government or Anti-Authority Violent Extremism (e.g., Militia organizations, Sovereign citizen movement, Anarchism).
          Single-Issue Ideologies (e.g., violent Animal rights or Anti-abortion violence).

        Long-range acoustic device - Wikipedia
          ## Excerpt
          A long-range acoustic device (LRAD), acoustic hailing device (AHD) or sound cannon is a specialized loudspeaker and sound weapon that produces sound at high power for communicating at a distance. It has been used as a method of crowd control, which has caused permanent hearing damage, having an extremely high decibel capacity (up to 160 dB measured at one meter from the device).[1] Other uses have included for negotiations in siege situations; to deal with piracy at sea; for mass notification during natural disasters or other emergencies; and by the military, including several navies.

      Onymous Drug Cartel Backgrounder
        A few comments on our southern friends.
        El Salvador's "_guerra contra las pandillas_" has gained momentum in the region, but needs US to support it. Capture in Ecuador of "Fito" in June set a tone of increased military cooperation in the region following last administration's war for social justice. It offered a ray of hope. With very few exceptions, most country and military leaders want to make their countries better and safer for their families and the future - but it isn't easy.
        Drug cartel wars are the #1 concern for each military but cartels are better resourced and have more and better equipment, including the ability to buy the latest tech. Columbia alone has seen cartels grow from 3 to 8 in only a few years.
        Keeping military morale high can be difficult in the region because of drug cartel attacks and their ability to bribe and blackmail members. As well, "human rights" issues always overhang some of the military's methods - as they note, given the horrific things done by cartels to soldiers and civilians - they should have no rights but know some moral justice group may come after the leaders in time. US military experience supporting local military actions against ISIS and Taliban provide some comfort.
        Local armies report hundreds of drone attacks by drug cartels and scores of their members killed and injured just this past year. Even older Ukrainian/Russian SPV drone tech (12-18 months old) is more advanced than their jamming or other defensive capability. [Fear Ukrainian/Russian drone mercenaries when a treaty is signed. Assembling from retail parts, they blow up armored vehicles.]
        An aside - not just southern hemisphere but all other countries using Russian hardware - the Russian embargo hurts resupply and maintenance of Russian-supplied equipment and tech. Many Latin American countries us Russian-supplied lift (your former business) and now can't get parts, making an already under-resourced military unable to cover large areas of their own country. As Venezuela discovered, it is tough to use air defense that is missing parts.

      Potential oil for stablecoins in Iran
        https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/united-states-forfeits-over-1-billion-iranian-funds-derived-oil-scheme
        Proposal: The "Digital Oil-for-Food" Program (Oil-to-Crypto Pipeline)
          [!SUMMARY]
          A strategy to bypass the Iranian regime by seizing oil assets and redirecting the revenue directly to Iranian citizens via Stablecoins. This would require a shift in US law (redirecting funds from the *Victims of Terrorism Fund* to a new *Free Iran Fund*) and the deployment of a censorship-resistant digital wallet infrastructure to overcome the regime's "Halal Internet" firewalls.
        The Revenue Source: "Seize and Liquidate"
          Currently, when the US seizes Iranian oil (e.g., the *Suez Rajan* seizure), the proceeds go to the US Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund. To help Iranians directly, this legal framework must change.
          The Mechanism: The US Navy and DOJ continue to seize "Ghost Fleet" tankers using civil forfeiture laws.
          The Liquidation: Instead of holding the oil, it is sold immediately on the global market (likely to non-sanctioned buyers in India or Europe) at a discount to ensure quick liquidity.
          The "Escrow" Change: Congress passes legislation (e.g., a "Free Iran Asset Act") mandating these specific funds be held in a transparent, blockchain-audited escrow account, rather than the US Treasury general fund.
        The Distribution: The "Air Drop" Problem
          Sending money to Iranians is easy; keeping them alive after they receive it is hard. The IRGC monitors all bank transfers. Therefore, the transfer must be Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and outside the banking system.
        A. The Vehicle: Censorship-Resistant Stablecoins
          We cannot use USDC or USDT (Tether), as these centralized issuers are legally required to freeze wallets in sanctioned jurisdictions (and often do).
          The Solution: Use decentralized stablecoins (like DAI or a new US-backed "Freedom Dollar") running on a privacy-preserving network (like The Open Network (TON) or Monero atomic swaps).
          Why TON? It is integrated into Telegram, which is already used by 50+ million Iranians despite bans.
        B. Verification: "Proof of Personhood"
          How do you know you are sending money to a starving student in Tehran and not a Basij commander?
          Zero-Knowledge ID: Utilize "Web of Trust" models. Verified dissidents in the diaspora vouch for family members, who vouch for neighbors.
          Starlink Integration: Distribute funds only to wallets verified through Starlink terminals (which bypass the national internet), ensuring the recipient is already outside the state's surveillance grid.
        The Off-Ramp: The "Hawala" 2.0
          The biggest hurdle: You have $100 in crypto on your phone, but the baker only takes Rials.
          The Local Exchange: The US effectively subsidizes a black market. Trusted local exchangers (*sarafs*) buy the stablecoins from citizens in exchange for cash Rials.
          The Loop: The *sarafs* use the stablecoins to pay for imports (phones, medicine) that the regime can't provide. This creates a closed-loop economy where the US dollar backs the black market, further devaluing the official Rial and weakening the regime's economic control.
        Risks & Countermeasures
          | Risk | Countermeasure |
          | :--- | :--- |
          | Regime Internet Blackout | Deploy Meshtastic networks and fund massive smuggling of Starlink terminals to maintain wallet access. |
          | Forced Confessions | Use "Duress Wallets" (wallets that show a fake low balance if unlocked under threat). |
          | Inflation | Flooding the local market with hard currency (via stablecoins) actually *stabilizes* purchasing power for the people while crushing the state's fiat currency. |
        Strategic Goal
          This transforms oil from a "Regime Lifeline" into a "Regime Poison." Every barrel seized funds the very people the regime is trying to suppress, creating a direct economic bond between the US and the Iranian street.
      The Petro Trump Call
        The Trump / Petro talk lasted 42 minutes in which the Colombian president agreed to:
        1) Implement bombings against FARC and ELN dissidents.
        2) Start fumigation with glyphosate on illicit crops.
        3) Lift the suspension on extraditions of drug lords.
        4) Guarantee free, transparent, and secure elections for the opposition.
        5) Collaborate in the restoration of Venezuela.
        6) Strengthen security on the Colombia-Venezuela border to combat groups like the ELN when they attempt to cross the border fleeing the new order imposed by the United States.
        7) Stop persecuting the opposition.
        8) Peacefully and quietly abandon the Casa de Nariño on August 6, 2026.
        Petro has already begun fulfilling these 8 points, which is why he will soon have a meeting with Delcy Rodríguez.

      Greenland USNORTHCOM BOTG
        Anonymous insight about Greenland:
        Last year POTUS and SECWAR reassigned Greenland to the USNORTHCOM Area Of Responsibility (AOR) from EUCOM. The change was to signal the importance of the Military strategic key terrain of Greenland to the defense of North America and political messaging to the Danes and European leaders that we are ready to invest Diplomatically, Militarily, and Economically in that place.
        This is bigger than just the GI/UK gap. We have stuff there and actively patrol there. One might say we already have that locked down. We also have long established basing in Greenland at Tule (pronounced Two-Lee) AKA Pitufik (Pronounced “Bee-Doo-Feek”). Militarily we are concerned with the power projection, aerospace early warning, and maritime warning that geographic location provides. The arctic is also full of natural resources that we want, or that we don’t want Russia and China to access. The stuff is there. I don’t know how we get it out. That’s up to the nerds in lab coats with 10lb brains.
        There are many more reasons why Greenland matters to us, and I’ll be happy to expound as time allows.
        Be blessed MOFOs!

        De beautiful big ships kun je beter beautiful not as big as you think ships noemen.
        Ik las ergens dat de ijsbrekers die de VS in Finland kopen kleiner zijn dan die Finland zelf gebruikt. Volgens een deskundoloog zijn die kleinere net geschikt om naar Alaska te varen, maar niet geschikt voor het Poolgebied. Ook zelfs hier in de Finse Golf zou je er niks mee kunnen.

      Computer literacy from Stefan
        In regards to your latest second half of the show about computer literacy. My generation was born 1993-1997. Me and my friends studied under the French system and English system through primary and high school. In school they taught us how to touch-type, build a database, use excel and powerpoint,websites and understand the key components of a computer. We also played computer games a lot which at the time the computers weren't as powerful as they are now so we needed to know how to optimize the settings for the pc. In addition, at that time computer games were made by software engineers as a side project which involved heavy problem solving games. To succeed you had to surf the web, read documentation in forums on how to solve the game or improve whereas today's games are made by MBA people that are only designed to give you quick fast dopamine hits which is why we rarely play games anymore.
        Needless to say when we entered the workforce all the hiring managers were shocked at our computer literacy and thought this had to be the smartest generation. A year ago, I caught up with some of my friends over 'discord' who are now in middle management in tech companies i.e. head of operations, customer support and they were telling me funny stories about the new generation and how illiterate they are with computers(some with IT degrees). They naturally thought that the new generation will technologically put them to shame as we did. This is the complete opposite some of the stuff they told me were the following:
        --> They didn't know what or how to open a command line on windows
        --> How to touch type
        --> How to use excel or powerpoint
        --> They didn't know how to troubleshoot when something went wrong with the computer i.e. using ctrl alt delete, task manager, end processes and if all else fails restart the pc. They just froze like a robot.
        Many others which I'm forgetting. We spent 3 hours talking about this.
        Outside their phones they were completely useless in terms of technology. It seems we went backwards
