I think this may be of value here.

I think what you're doing with documents and indexes is a great idea. I also think that the web platform (as it works right now) is a poor medium for preservation of anything. We need some radically new ideas for keeping our information accessible to the people. (And no, I'm not talking about blockchains or generative AI. Those technologies are the opposite of what is needed.)

The links are going to become clickable, right?

Please put the entries with most-recent first. As the list grows, it would otherwise become increasingly difficult to get to the current items. Or make the list sortable either way by clicking on a button of some sort. Thanks!

Please add the Green Card application (link below) it is very relevant for the discussion about free speech and the green card. Part 943F under the security section of the green card clearly relates to Hamas. According to the administration, if Hamas supporters are in the United States under these visas or green cards, they would’ve had to declare this on their application. If they had declared it, they would not have been admitted, therefore they have perjured themselves by not listing Hamas as an organization that they support.

Ken Klippstein also has a document of which congressman came out and support of Khali and others commented on his post with an updated document as well. He asks why more people did not sign in support of Khali.

There is a simple question here about the government being able to decide which foreign nationals are allowed to be in the country. If you perjure yourself on the green card by not listing the organizations you support and are affiliated with then you are guilty of perjury, and your green card can be revoked.

If on the other hand, you list Hamas as one of your organizations, and you are admitted as a permanent resident, then you have not perjured yourself and there shouldn’t be a legal issue.

So this really is the question of whether or not the government has a right to enforce the laws regarding green cards and perjury, especially in the section about security.

Maybe it’s here but I don’t see it. I’d love a timetable for Thomas Crooks, the info that came out in the immediate aftermath, and related and ongoing updates on the investigation.

Arguably off-topic, Matt, but I don't know where else to put this: what’s happened to the well-known poll aggregator, FiveThirtyEight? Every time I’ve tried to access it in the last day or two—checking on President Trump’s approval rating, you know—I’ve been rickrolled to the ABC News page. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=538+polls+donald+trump&ia=web

I’d like to think that this isn’t some covert top-down attempt at Information Control. But from here, it’s difficult to tell.

update:, received my answer--Disney has given 538 the axe as part of a cost-trimming effort. Thank you to Substacker Daniel https://substack.com/@daniel446150?

It’s interesting to me that 538 was deemed a net loser by Disney. It would seem to be a low-overhead enterprise. But maybe it only draws a large audience in election years. Because of the aggregation, it’s been my one-stop for checking poll results for years. Ah, well. There’s probably at least one similar site elsewhere on the Internet. If there isn’t one right now, I’d anticipate that there will be.
