    Unfortunately, I saw too many US veterans, on sidewalks, holding signs, asking for food, in wheelchairs.

    I was working for the VA, mind you. And I saw them, and #AccentureFederalServices waste public money in egregious ways. I could not bear to see #AFS executives get fat paychecks and bonuses, while the veterans we were supposed to serve, went #homeless

    I turned #whistleblower in 2023, and the system came down on me like a hammer, hounding and persecuting me. I was illegally evicted, and made homeless.

    Finally, moved to #japan and filed for #political #asylum

    But the persecution followed me here, and shut me out of all refugee assistance organizations. I remain homeless and foodless, denied #HumanRights

    Eventually, there will be #Justice and the #Takaichi regime will be before an International Court, explaining why they denied me refugee rights, in violation of the UN Refugee Convention of 1951 and 1967.

  6. Subject: Follow-up to Blue Shield Executive Inquiries
    For: Readers interested in HMOs
    Short link: https://dansu.org/blueshield-260902

    On August 31, 2026, I emailed Blue Shield Executive Inquiries about the fact that a medical matter that should have taken 5 days has taken 5 months instead.

    My adopted son Harold, presently on a business trip in Germany, read the August 31, 2026 post. He said, “always the warrior”. That is polite, at least. In #whistleblower litigation from 2022 to 2024, Opposing Counsel Christine Long commented, on the fact I stand up to corporations, that I’m a “vigilante”.

    Note: I won that case. There was a defamation suit afterward that had been filed by a dead oligarch and crime lord, Henry Khachaturian. Christine dropped the defamation suit abruptly and wouldn’t even take a settlement. It seemed odd. Excuse the need for details but, if people are reading me now, I should explain things.

    My response to both Harold and Christine, friendly and unfriendly, is, excuse me, but is somebody supposed to just give up and let corporations walk all over others [not just one’s self] ? Let them smash up lives or cause deaths?

    Today, Blue Shield responded, politely enough. I think that all three of the organizations involved might be more responsive now that I’m going public.

    Note: The three organizations are Blue Shield, #HPMG aka Hill Physicians Medical Group, and #SuperCare [a DME vendor].

    The PDF linked below is my letter today to Blue Shield Executive Inquiries [followed by the letter from Executive Inquiries that it’s responding to]:

    https://dansu.org/images/about/260902-blue-shield.pdf

    I’d like to be clear that Blue Shield is much better than Kaiser. Blue Shield staff tries to do the right thing. #SuperCare is much better than #Apria [a different and quite murderous #DME vendor] as well.

    However, standards are relative. Most people are aware that #Kaiser and #Apria are patient death machines. It isn’t a high bar to do better than those two organizations.

  7. Cognitive Dissidence
    =================

    Obama sold us #Obamacare and #healthcare went from complicated & expensive, to complicated, expensive, & mandatory.

    Government subsidies ended.
    Net result: healthcare is worse than before.

    There were some benefits to Obamacare, or it would not have passed at all. Some people benefited, though for most others it made #healthcare worse.

    People: "We want #UniversalHealthCoverage ! healthcare is too expensive."

    Obama: "I will ensure that everyone has healthcare."

    People: "Hooray! Obama cares."

    Obama: "Now everyone is REQUIRED to have health insurance."

    People: "And the government will pay for it, right?"

    Obama: "..."

    People: "... right?"

    Obama: "No, but your preexisting conditions will be covered."

    People: "Yay!!!"

    Obamacare subsidies were set to expire, in his plan. Obama handed his opponents a ticking time bomb before leaving office.

    Trump just didn't renew this crock of a plan, because he is too busy doing other evil shit.

    Trump is a daylight robber.
    Obama was a midnight thief.
    Poor people got clobbered,
    electing either, as chief.

    Mandatory health insurance means more money for the "healthcare industry".

    Remember the 2008 market crash that wiped out millions of Americans out of their retirement savings and 401-K? There was corruption behind the scenes, and big insiders made money. It was Obama who stopped that investigation, and it was sneakily moved out of the news cycle.

    He fooled the masses with charm and attraction.
    Propaganda is a weapon of mass distraction.

    Watch what he do.
    Ignore what he say.
    Connect the dots
    and follow de monay!

    I used to laugh at the people who said, "Both sides are the same."

    In 2023, I was a programmer with federal clearance, working for the US Department of Veterans Affairs, through #AccentureFederalServices , through a contractor ( #GrayDigital ), when I called out corruption & became a government #whistleblower

    I have been #homeless since 2023, hounded by the law, a dozen rides in the back of cop cars, usually handcuffed. Kicked out of hospitals, banks, libraries, stores, & buses. 5 arrests ( 4 under #Biden, 1 under #Trump ), faced #police brutality, spent 6 nights in jail. The last arrest was extrajudicial, and I was not even brought before a judge after spending a night in jail, just told to go away.

    I slept outdoors in winters without warm clothes, in muddy orchards, in rain, on cold concrete city pavements, in sweltering heat. I was denied public defense in #courts, though I told judges I was homeless and food insecure. I fought in court, representing myself, while homeless. All charges were dropped. It was whistleblower intimidation. I had committed no crimes. I was assaulted in the streets by the security guard of a #Catholic charity. I have eaten out of garbage cans, & several times, gone hungry for 2-3 days at a time.

    In December 2025, I moved to #Tokyo to avoid persecution, though it followed me here. I'm homeless and hungry here as well, probably because the #Japanese government is reluctant to grant me #political #asylum.

    Every #Refugee Assistance Organization I contacted in Tokyo has turned me away.

  14. Emilia Jones – „Winner“ (2024)

    Als Dramödie funktioniert dieser Film nur leidlich. Das Lachen, das befreien soll, bleibt mir nämlich oft im Halse stecken. Um so mehr, angesichts der (Wieder-)Vereidigung des 47. US-Präsidenten. Ein Land, das zweimal denselben Fehler macht, kann eigentlich nicht mehr darauf rechnen, dass ich das noch mit Humor nehme. Aber trotz alledem sehe ich mir das sehr gerne an. Weil es politisches Kino ist, das wir immer dringender brauchen. Auch um das Lachen darüber nicht zu vergessen! Mit Emilia Jones, Connie Britton und Zach Galifianakis. (ZDF, Wh.)

  18. I am a federally cleared programmer, turned #whistleblower

    I spoke against the #VA and #AccentureFederalServices and pointed out corruption and mismanagement of funds. I fight for the rights of #veterans

    I have been persecuted, and homeless since 2023.

    I am presently in #Japan , seeking political asylum.

    My whistleblower story is here:

    whistleblower.lovestoblog.com/

    I thought that I would be safe from persecution, once I got to Japan. This turned out to be wrong.

    I ran out of the funds I came here with, in February 2026, and have been #homeless here since.

    I turned to every refugee assistance I could find: #JAR, #AAR, #RHQ, #FRESC, #UNHCR , the #Shinagawa City Ward Office. They all denied me assistance.

    Second Harvest gave me 5 food packages, over two months, each of which lasts 2-3 days.

    The #Takanawa #Catholic #Church was feeding me 1 meal a day, though now they have stopped even that.

    When I reported to Mr. Takaii, a priest at #Meguro Catholic Church, that I had been abused by a Catholic Charity in #Kona , #Hawaii ( documented in the link above ), he suddenly told me he did not speak any English, though we had met a few times, and had several conversations, and he speaks English fluently.

    This is probably because I asked him to respond to my critique of #Christianity in general:

    rant.li/ashwin/why-i-am-also-n

    The #corruption at the heart of the Catholic church and Christianity could not be more profound.

    The #Pope has condemned #war and called for #peace , and scored cheap #poltical points against #Trump , though he has not called on all #Catholics to resign from the military, and stop participating in war. His apologia are crocodile tears.

    I am presently hungry, homeless, and need of medical care.

    The Japanese #Immigration Bureau keep asking me why I have "overstayed my visa". I keep responding that while my asylum application is pending, I am not overstaying in Japan. Japan is in violation of #International #Law ( 1951 & 1967 convention on the treatment of #refugees ). They can easily extend my visa, so I can get medical care and food. I have reported to them several times that I am in pain, and need food. They keep on harassing me.

    It seems to me that the #JapanPM has decided to make same mistake that Japan made in #WW2 - siding with #corruption

    Please boost this message.

    Also please advise where I may turn for immediate help.

  20. Amy Goodman is on Jon Stewart's podcast this week, and it's well worth a listen.

    My first TV interview about Match Group was on her show, and it was a live one, just a few hours after the Guardian article came out. If nothing else, it taught me not to do any live interviews again! Still, it was an interesting experience.

    Note how well I curate my background with neat bookshelves, showing a load of boring books that I think reflect my personality.

  21. Ich stimme klar mit NEIN gegen die Klarnamenpflicht!

    Der Irrsinn von Aussagen, dass das Hass-Kriminalität bekämpfen würde, ist ziemlich realitätsfern, wenn man sich die Problematik mal etwas genauer anschaut.

    Kriminelle umgehen Verifikationen leicht
    Professionelle Täter nutzen gefälschte Identitäten oder ausländische Accounts, um Klarnamenpflichten zu umgehen. Betroffen sind vor allem „Otto Normalverbraucher“, während Kriminelle kaum gestoppt werden. Studien zeigen, dass #Hassrede durch Klarnamenpflicht nur marginal reduziert wird, da Täter schnell Ausweichstrategien finden.
    Quellen: Studie Südkorea, Expertenmeinung, Faktencheck

    #Moderation & #KI sind effektiver
    Automatisierte Systeme und menschliche Moderation können Hassrede schneller erkennen und sanktionieren, ohne die Privatsphäre aller Nutzer zu opfern. KI-gestützte Moderation wird bereits erfolgreich eingesetzt, um Hassrede und #Desinformation zu bekämpfen, ohne auf #Klarnamen angewiesen zu sein.
    Q: KI-Moderation, Forschungsprojekt HaSPI

    #Datenlecks & Angriffe
    #Südkorea führte 2007 eine Klarnamenpflicht ein, musste sie aber 2012 nach massiven Datenschutzverstößen wieder abschaffen. Hacker stahlen die Daten von 35 Millionen Nutzern (70% der Bevölkerung), was zu Identitätsdiebstahl und Missbrauch führte. Das Verfassungsgericht erklärte die Pflicht für verfassungswidrig, da sie die Meinungsfreiheit einschränkt.
    Q: Südkorea: Datenskandal, Verfassungswidrigkeit, Details,
    YouTube Video @[email protected]

    Überwachungsrisiko & Missbrauch durch Behörden/Unternehmen
    Unternehmen wie #Palantir könnten #Klarnamendaten für #Massenüberwachung nutzen. Palantir wird bereits von deutschen Polizeibehörden eingesetzt, obwohl Datenschützer vor dem Missbrauch warnen. Die Software ermöglicht die Verknüpfung von Datenbanken und könnte für politische #Repression genutzt werden.
    Q: Palantir & Datenschutz, Einsatz in Deutschland, Kritik,
    YouTube Video Doktor Whatson

    Einschüchterung & Chilling Effect
    Eine Pflicht führt dazu, dass sich Menschen aus Angst vor Konsequenzen (z.B. berufliche Nachteile, soziale Ausgrenzung) nicht mehr frei äußern. Besonders betroffen sind marginalisierte Gruppen, #Whistleblower und politische #Aktivisten sowie eine Vielzahl an Personen die teilweise als Autisten deklariert werden können oder Journalisten, aber auch andere.
    Q: Chilling Effect, Risiken, Piratenpartei

    Kein wissenschaftlicher Beleg für weniger Hass
    Studien zeigen, dass anonyme Nutzer oft weniger aggressiv kommunizieren als solche, die mit Klarnamen auftreten. Die Annahme, dass Klarnamen den Diskurs „zivilisieren“, ist nicht belegt. In Südkorea änderte sich das Verhalten von Hassrednern kaum.
    Q: Studie Südkorea, @[email protected], Faktencheck

    Verstoß gegen Grundrechte & EU-Recht
    Die Klarnamenpflicht widerspricht dem Recht auf informationelle Selbstbestimmung und eventuell auch gegen EU-Datenschutzrecht (#DSGVO). Das Unabhängige Datenschutzzentrum Saarland betont, dass eine solche Pflicht mit höherrangigem Unionsrecht kollidiert.

    #September11, 2001: Lessons Learned And Overlooked

    "It has been 23 years ago this week since the attacks on September 11, 2001 in New York City, the Pentagon, and Shanksville, PA, killing nearly 3,000 people and injuring more than 6,000. On that day, the United States had a choice: The #GeorgeWBush administration could have treated the attacks as a violation of US and international law, launched a criminal investigation, and brought the perpetrators to justice in accordance with the rule of law. Instead, President Bush waged #EndlessWars against #Afghanistan and #Iraq, pushed through Congress the USA #PatriotAct, opened the notorious detention center at #GuantanamoBay which remain to this day, rounded up Muslims and South Asians for #IndefiniteDetention, initiated a wave of #CivilLiberties and #HumanRights violations, and committed wholesale torture against detainees and others.

    "To assess the legacy of 9/11 and the lessons learned and the lessons overlooked, we’ve invited someone who was at the center of Bush’s #WarOnTerror. John Kiriakou is a journalist, former CIA counterterrorism officer, former senior investigator for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and former counterterrorism consultant for ABC News.

    "In 2007, Kiriakou blew the whistle on the CIA’s torture program, telling ABC News that the #CIA tortured prisoners, that torture was official U.S. government policy, and that the policy had been approved by President George W. Bush. He knew what he was talking about. In 2002, he was responsible for the capture in Pakistan of #AbuZubaydah, then believed to be the third-ranking official in al-Qaeda.

    "He became the sixth #whistleblower indicted by the #Obama administration under the #EspionageAct of 1917 — a law designed to punish spies. He served 23 months in prison as a result of his revelations.

    "In 2012, the #RalphNader family honored #Kiriakou with the Joe A. Callaway Award for #CivicCourage, an award given to individuals who 'advance truth and justice despite the personal risk it creates.' He won the PEN Center USA’s prestigious First Amendment Award in 2015, the first Blueprint International Whistleblowing Prize for Bravery and Integrity in the Public Interest in 2016, and also in 2016 the Sam Adams Award for Integrity in Intelligence, given by retired CIA, FBI, and NSA officers."

    #WikiLeaks founder to learn on Tuesday if he can appeal against his extradition to the #UnitedStates

    by Rafqa Touma
    Mon 25 Mar 2024 22.03 EDT

    "Fitzgerald said Assange and WikiLeaks 'were responsible for the exposure of criminality on the part of the #USGovernment on an unprecedented scale,' including #torture, rendition, #extrajudicial killings and #WarCrimes.

    "He alleged '#StateRetaliation' motivated the US prosecution and so was unlawful. Fitzgerald also warned that if Assange was extradited there was 'a real risk that he’ll suffer a flagrant denial of justice'.
