The fight for truth is not merely about holding politicians accountable—it is about exposing and dismantling an AI-driven propaganda machine that has been weaponized for political purposes, controlling public discourse and posing a direct threat to democracy itself.

Any federal employee in any of those listed agencies that had anything to do with censoring or “influencing” the American people, directly or indirectly needs to be fired.

Immediately.

Curious FEC & HAVA missing from the list, why? They were most directly in the 2016 and 2020 and 2022 elections.

I’ve noticed this with Grok. Its initial answers are all left-tilting. I keep challenging it and it finally relents and provides a more balance or even right-leaning answer.

Most of these observable biases are accomplished not by code but by neural network training data selection. In good old procedural code you could run under a debugger with source and find the reason for a result. AI neural networks provide plausible deniability — it’s a primary feature.

“Distilling” from already trained neural networks instead of expensive and slow from-scratch training is regarded as an advantage of DeepSeek, but it ensures once they get the bias they want they can keep getting it, with a plausible excuse.

And I don’t trust “chain of thought” narratives. Even with humans, the neurons involved in producing an output are not directly “observable” that way, which results in ridiculous explanations from people of why they believe and do things.

Looking at this, I wonder if I was targeted by an AI program on Reddit back in 2017, possibly during a development phase. Some fellow wanted to debate with me about Trump via private messages, and I agreed to. Then he'd send impossibly long messages that would take an hour to respond to. I told him I can't devote this much time, and that if he really wanted debate, we should take one point at a time.

But he'd ignore me and just deluge me with a list of counterpoints on various topics that sounded very rational, except I couldn't verify any of the information he used, because it all came from studies funded by think tanks in DC that were very obscure. And the sheer amount of verbiage... I remember thinking, is this some grad student on a sabbatical to have this much free time to argue with one person?

Eventually I told him this was just a waste of time, I'd already voted for Trump and was happy with my vote. But he kept sending these long, long messages, trying to draw me back in. Finally I just blocked him. But it was really weird. Now I wonder... was that an AI?
