We Ain’t Buying It! - Economic Pressure on Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday - We Ain’t Buying It!
This action is taking direct aim at Target, for caving to this administration’s biased attacks on DEI; Home Depot, for allowing and colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties; and Amazon, for funding this administration to secure their own corporate tax cuts. We’ll send a clear message: until they cease collaborating with this administration’s harmful policies, our dollars will go elsewhere.

Al-Qa‘ida’s Recent Calls to Conduct Attacks in the US Highlights Its Enduring Threat to Public Safety
SCOPE: This product is intended to inform federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial government, law enforcement and first
responders of al-Qa‘ida’s recent calls for attacks against the United States.
Al-Qa‘ida’s resurgence of calls for attacks in the homeland highlights its persistent and enduring threat to the country, US
officials, and public safety. Al-Qa‘ida and its Yemen-based affiliate, al-Qa‘ida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP)—the only
affiliate to have successfully enabled an attack in the homeland—are likely seeking to leverage their media publications and
global conflicts, particularly where there is US support or military involvement, to inspire potential attackers.
■ In mid-July 2025, AQAP released the 10th edition of its English-language Inspire Guide—the second issue within a
month—celebrating recent attacks in the US and calling on its supporters in the homeland to conduct attacks, using
simple attack methods, such as firearms, explosives, knives, vehicle-rammings, or Molotov cocktails. The publication
highlighted that proper targets were individuals or organizations that support Israel, as well as law enforcement and the
government—almost certainly a reference that includes the USG—and that large protests or civil disturbances could be
good opportunities to commit an act of terrorism.
■ In June, AQAP leader, Sa'd Atif al-Aulaqi, released a video—titled Inciting the Believers—calling for attacks against the
US President, Vice President, Secretaries of Defense and State, members of Congress, their families, and at least one
private US citizen. In his speech, Atif urged revenge, that “reciprocity is legitimate,” and said there was no distinction
between civilian and military targets.
■ In June, AQAP published the 9th edition of its Inspire Guide, “A Message Beyond Bullets: Attack on the Jewish Capital
Museum in Washington, D.C.” The article focused on inciting lone actor attacks against the US and called for Muslims
in America to take action, likely an attempt to capitalize on the killing of two Israeli Embassy employees in front of the
Jewish Capital Museum in May.
Many of the suggested target themes in recent al-Qa‘ida threats are consistent with the group’s post 9/11 attack plots in the
homeland, which focused on aviation, symbolic or economic targets, US military or government employees and facilities, and
the US public. Since al-Qa‘ida’s propaganda and media often revisit these themes, they may indicate potential targets that
authorities, first responders, and public safety officials should closely monitor

Urgent Intelligence Alert: NCTC Confirms Al Qaeda Presence on U.S. Soil, Imminent Multi-City Islamic Terror Attacks
Sources tell me tonight that the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) has officially determined that Islamic terrorists affiliated with Al Qaeda have infiltrated U.S. soil and are actively planning a series of coordinated Islamic terror attacks. This marks the first time federal counterterrorism officials have openly acknowledged the immediacy of such threats, signaling a potential escalation in domestic jihadist activity not seen since the height of ISIS-inspired plots in the mid-2010s.
According to NCTC's latest assessment, shared in a classified briefing to congressional leaders and leaked today, Al Qaeda cells, emboldened by the group's resurgence in Afghanistan and the North and Central Africa, have embedded themselves across major urban centers in the US. This has been confirmed intercepted communications, financial tracking, and human intelligence. Sources tell me this is a sophisticated operation aimed at maximizing casualties and chaos.
Indicators of Preparation: Uniforms, Hospitals, and Deception Tactics
My sources tell me the attack strategy by Al Qaeda is designed to sow confusion and cripple emergency response. These terrorists have been purchasing large quantities of police and first-responder uniforms from surplus outlets and online vendors in at least five states. These acquisitions, traced through bulk credit card anomalies and CCTV footage, suggest a plan to impersonate law enforcement during the assaults—allowing attackers to blend in, direct panicked crowds, or even execute secondary strikes on fleeing victims.
My sources tell me the Al Qaeda terror attack plans in the US are focused on hospitals and medical facilities. NCTC even has evidence that these terrorists are “scoping" emergency rooms, trauma centers, and triage points in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Miami. The intent appears clear: disrupt healthcare infrastructure to prevent treatment of the wounded, effectively creating a "second wave" of fatalities through denial of care.
In the event of an attack, civilians could face a nightmarish scenario where friend and foe are indistinguishable, with medics overwhelmed and no safe haven for the injured. The potential for hundreds, if not thousands, of additional deaths in the chaos is described by one DHS source as "horrific beyond comprehension."
The plot's scale points to simultaneous strikes across multiple cities, echoing Al Qaeda's historical ambitions for mass casualty operations like 9/11 but adapted for urban guerrilla tactics. Targets could include soft sites such as crowded events, transportation hubs, and public gatherings.
We are under attack.
Al Qaeda Islamic terrorists disguised as first responders are planning to attack US cities and our hospitals.
Where are our lawmakers to address this growing threat of Islamic terror in the US?
The Podesta Plan
The Podesta Plan: An Overview
The "Podesta Plan" isn't an official document with that exact name, but it refers to a series of progressive policy strategies and wargaming scenarios developed under the influence of John Podesta, a longtime Democratic operative, former White House Chief of Staff under President Bill Clinton, and founder of the Center for American Progress (CAP). Podesta has played key roles in Democratic administrations, including as counselor to President Barack Obama and senior advisor to President Joe Biden on clean energy. The term "Podesta Plan" is often used in political discourse—particularly in conservative media—to describe what they view as left-leaning tactics to advance agendas through executive actions, bypassing Congress, or even through election-related simulations. Below, I'll break it down based on verifiable sources, distinguishing between mainstream policy work and more conspiratorial interpretations.
1. The Mainstream Policy Interpretation: Executive Actions and Progressive Reforms
Core Document: The closest to a formal "Podesta Plan" is CAP's 2010 report, The Power of the President: Recommendations to Advance Progressive Change. Written under Podesta's leadership, it outlined how a Democratic president (specifically Obama, post-2010 midterms) could use executive authority to implement progressive priorities like climate action, immigration reform, and labor rights without relying on a hostile Congress.
Key Recommendations (from the report):
Climate and Energy: Issue executive orders to reduce carbon emissions, promote renewable energy, and enforce EPA regulations on power plants.
Immigration: Expand protections for undocumented immigrants via deferred action (e.g., precursors to DACA).
Economy and Labor: Raise the minimum wage through federal contracting rules and strengthen union rights via NLRB appointments.
Overall Strategy: Emphasize unilateral presidential power, public mobilization, and regulatory rulemaking to "advance progressive change" despite legislative gridlock.
This was seen as a response to Republican gains in the 2010 elections, aiming to "tack left" rather than compromise. Critics, like those at the Hudson Institute, called it a "shocking agenda" for ignoring democratic checks.
Implementation Examples:
Under Obama, Podesta helped roll out the 2013 Climate Action Plan and the 2014 Clean Power Plan, which set carbon limits for states—bypassing Congress entirely.
In Biden's administration, Podesta led implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act (2022), investing $375 billion in clean energy, and worked on protecting these policies from potential reversal.
Why "Sunday"? No direct reference to a "Sunday" phase in the policy documents. However, Podesta's emails (leaked via WikiLeaks in 2016) mention Sundays in casual political contexts, like scheduling endorsements for TV shows (e.g., Meet the Press). This might be a garbled reference in your query, or perhaps tying into broader narratives (see below).
2. The Conspiratorial Interpretation: Election Disruption and "Color Revolution" Tactics
In right-wing and alternative media (e.g., InfoWars, hosted by Alex Jones), the "Podesta Plan" is portrayed as a deep-state blueprint for undermining conservative victories, especially Donald Trump's 2016 and potential 2024/2025 returns. It's often linked to:
Transition Integrity Project (TIP, 2020): A bipartisan wargame simulation (involving Podesta associates like Rosa Brooks) that explored scenarios for a contested 2020 election, including delays in results, faithless electors, and state-level challenges. Critics claim it was a "coup rehearsal" to delegitimize Trump, with stages like protests, military non-compliance, and invoking the Insurrection Act.
Alleged Stages (per InfoWars and similar sources):
Early Phase: Seed division through media and protests (e.g., post-2020 election unrest).
Mid-Phase: Legal challenges and "color revolution" tactics (inspired by foreign regime changes).
Final Phase: Military refusal to follow orders, framed as a "Sunday" escalation—possibly alluding to a dramatic weekend event like January 6, 2021 (a Thursday, but narratives evolve). Jones has described it as a "plan to ignite a new civil war."
Evidence? Largely drawn from Podesta's leaked emails (20,000+ pages released by WikiLeaks), which discuss campaign strategies, Saudi/Qatar funding for extremists, and internal Clinton planning—but nothing explicitly about a "civil war" or "Sunday" trigger. These interpretations assume bias in media and treat simulations as plots.
Recent Context (2024-2025): Post-Trump's 2024 win, narratives resurged, with claims the plan involves blocking climate rollbacks or sparking unrest. Podesta himself departed for UN climate talks in Baku on a Sunday (November 10, 2024) to safeguard Biden-era policies. As of November 28, 2025, no major "Sunday" events tied to this have materialized in public records.
Key Takeaways
If You're Asking for Policy Details: It's a legitimate progressive roadmap for executive power—effective but controversial for sidestepping Congress.
If It's the Conspiracy Angle: It's amplified in echo chambers like InfoWars, blending real emails/simulations with speculation. Substantiated elements (e.g., TIP) show planning for chaos, but no proof of active "revolution."

EEC memory
ECC memory is a specialized type of computer memory (RAM) designed to detect and correct the most common types of internal data corruption, often called "soft errors." It is highly valued for its data integrity and reliability.
🛠️ How ECC Memory Works
ECC memory works by using an extra chip on the memory module that stores Error-Correction Codes (ECC), also known as parity bits.
Writing Data: When data is written to the memory, an ECC code is generated for that data and stored in the extra bits.
Reading Data: When the data is read back, a new ECC code is generated and compared to the stored code.
Error Correction:
If the codes match, the data is read as accurate.
If they don't match due to a single-bit error (a common type of corruption where a 0 flips to a 1 or vice versa, often caused by background radiation), the ECC logic can not only detect the error but also automatically determine the incorrect bit and correct it on the fly.
ECC memory can also detect more complex errors, like multi-bit errors, although it may not always be able to correct them.
🆚 ECC vs. Non-ECC Memory
The key difference lies in the error-correction capability:FeatureECC MemoryNon-ECC MemoryError CorrectionDetects and corrects single-bit errors.Can sometimes detect an error (if it uses parity) but cannot correct it.ReliabilityHigher, minimizes crashes and data corruption.Lower, prone to silent data corruption or crashes from errors.Number of ChipsTypically has a chip count divisible by nine (e.g., 9 or 18 chips).Typically has a chip count divisible by eight (e.g., 8 or 16 chips).PerformanceSlightly slower (due to the time required for error checking).Slightly faster (no error-checking overhead).CostMore expensive.More affordable.CompatibilityRequires a compatible motherboard and CPU (typically server/workstation-grade).Works with most standard consumer motherboards and CPUs.
🌐 Applications
ECC memory is essential in environments where data integrity and system stability are paramount.
Servers and Data Centers: For mission-critical applications, databases, and continuous operation.
Workstations: Used by professionals (e.g., video editors, engineers, financial analysts) running intensive tasks where a single bit flip could compromise large files or complex calculations.
High-Performance Computing (HPC): In scientific and financial modeling where accuracy is vital.
For standard home use, gaming, or everyday tasks, non-ECC memory is typically sufficient and preferred due to its lower cost and slightly faster speed.

It's not really a 'corner case', and while solar activity can change the rate, it's always a risk and needs to be designed for.
It's commonly known in the industry as "SEU" - Single Event Upset, where a high energy particle hits the right place in memory and causes it to change state. You can't effectively shield against it, because these particles can pass clean through the earth without hitting anything.
It's not really a problem with 1980's vintage computer hardware, because the energy level of the memory bits are quite a bit higher and being struck is unlikely to cause it to change state. But as things got smaller, denser, and lower energy in the 1990s, we started to see events. GE had a couple of scary events with memories getting corrupted in their "FADEC 2" on the 737NG CFM56-7 engines - causing "loss of thrust control". GE responded by added frequent 'wrap around' checks of memory, which they carried over to the (even smaller/denser/more powerful) FADEC 3 (which is on all their current production engines except the CF6-80C2 for the 767, which still uses the 1980s vintage FADEC 1). When we were doing the certification flight testing of the 747-8/GEnx-2B, we were seeing random single channel resets at a surprisingly high rate - once every few hundred hours. GE said that was consistent with their predictions of how often we'd see a SEU on the FADEC 3 hardware .
