D What exactly is Deep State? Start with FISA. Up and Out Puerto Rico

Congress did not act today to continue funding the Child Welfare Act of 2026 was the headline on HNMNBie news network. Wonk felt numb, powerless. Nutrition, education, medical care, and what happens when these children grow up, damaged, stunted.

The stretch goal for Up and Out was to add 3,800 more candidates next year, less than 1% of the American children congress had turned their back on today.

Presence: Controller here, Wonk what's going on the US?

Controller, must be having a banner day, thought Wonk. Crypto currency was flying, his office in Zuk looked like a zero-one festival.

I don't know big C, I guess you are talking about the children? The irony of it is, it was a banner day for our legislators, they also managed to  extend the sunset on FISA, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, which was written to enable the federal government to spy on foreign agents here and abroad.

Maybe that was true in 78, but 50 years later they are in full swing spying on and acting against law abiding citizens that do no conform to the ideology of the day.

Doesn't the US have privacy laws?

Not like Europe, they call it undifferentiated bulk surveillance, taxpayer funded governmental acquisition of fiber-optic data stored and transmitted by nearly everyone in America. This includes all telephone conversations, text messages and emails, as well as all medical, legal and financial records.

For what?

Wonk replied, it's the age old story, they built the capability, might was well use the capability and no matter what the abuses, the party in power controlling the intelligence committee leading to spying on the minority party as they try to mobilize for elections.

And without oversight, it kept getting worse. Agents spying on their neighbors, or just the pretty little 13 year old girl on Wisconsin and 9th.

Controller paused. But it takes money, tons of money. And the United States is under a triple whammy of national, corporate and household debt means there really isn't anything to squeeze anymore. Well we do what we can. I was talking to Gizmo, can you start an Up and Out in and around Ponce?

Another one? We are already in one of the barrios, let me check my records, here, Sabanetos, focus is on graduating health care professionals. They are doing well, 2 went on the become MDs, a number of registered nurses.

We need one to focus on fire and protection, hopefully PSEs. Gizmo has purchased a couple pieces of property that could host a campus including one next to ITEC. It's already off the grid, solar shingles, powerwalls, rainwater catchment. And outside the reaches of deep state, other than signals intercept.

Why are you reaching out to me for this? Gizmo and I are cool, right?

If you weren't cool, we wouldn't be talking. This is my deal, I'm working a package, Angelica has signed on to help the Giz launch a line of self driving boats, coastal cargo and ferry style transportation.

Like the stuff in Madagascar?

Same models.

I see, there wouldn't be any RVs, or Carbanados involved . . .

We are shipping them in, economics don't support assembly on island.

OK, I get the picture. Send me the lease to look over, but I think you can count on Wonk Enterprises. Other than Gizmo, why Puerto Rico?

Look, Wonk, I can't say too much, I know your company is almost certainly going to put you in Blue Circle at the Green Bay meeting, but until then . . .

I understand. Abundance of caution.

That's the word! OK, I'm out.

= End Presence

Wonk, thought, and paced, and thought and paced some more. Gizmo the nomad much have made his decision to make his stand in Ponce. It makes a certain amount of sense, boatbuilder on as island. Since they had been devastated by hurricanes, they have no choice but to be self reliant. The US was pretty done with them, maybe it had always been that way. Gizmo was a good man, always willing to help others, Wonk decided to help out and in a big way. Time for action, he uttered the wake work for MiniWonk.AI

Hey MiniWonk. I need you to source some local talent in Ponce Puerto Rico. See if you can find some fire and rescue people that have either been injured on the job, or recently retired. Build me a team from Everett and we'll go down there to Puerto Rico. I want to fly on No Problem Airways.
