[–] AcidicBasicGlitch@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Unsurprisingly the model for this meta AI data factory is almost identical to Musk's xAI data factories I've been trying to call attention to for months.

Giant data centers, build them where you think people will be less likely to have power to complain, pollute the shit out of those areas, and then ignore any regulations because you control the federal (and soon the state) government.

Soon coming to the UK as well.

From the SPN source watch page: https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=State_Policy_Network

SPN groups operate as the policy, communications, and litigation arm of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), giving the cookie-cutter ALEC agenda a sheen of academic legitimacy and state-based support.

Many SPN groups are and often write ALEC “model bills.”

In the states, SPN groups increasingly peddle cookie-cutter “studies” to back the cookie-cutter ALEC agenda, spinning that agenda as indigenous to the state and giving it the aura of academic legitimacy. Many SPN groups, such as the Mackinac Center in Michigan, have been accused of lobbying in their states, in violation of IRS rules for non-profit “charitable” organizations.

Louisiana Governor's Cybersecurity State of Emergency Renewal, grants the National Guard authority to undertake any activity authorized by law deemed appropriate in response in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] AcidicBasicGlitch@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

Pretty positive there is no actual plan to improve cybersecurity, it's a facade to quietly hand over power and control to the national guard to keep people in line.

The same day the emergency order was signed by the governor, he announced he was restructuring GOHSEP (governors office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness) under the National guard as part of his state DOGE plan to cut waste and save money.

The emergency order grants the director of GOHSEP authority to act however they seem fit to handle cybersecurity. But on the same day the director of GOHSEP was given a new title, and is no longer director.

The "acting director" is now Louisiana National Guard Brig. Gen. Jason P. Mahfouz

Yep, that is their schtick. The level of shadowy corporate money involved in this giant network hiding behind a facade of small government is insane. These are the people buying America and funding a war against democracy.

They have infiltrated at every state to push policy that promotes their own self interest, and to create their own corporate government all while screaming "I <3 transparency and small government!" at the top of their lungs.

Some SPN groups, like the Goldwater Institute in Arizona, also contain litigation centers funded by national foundations to defend or pursue the SPN/ALEC agenda.

SPN shares many of same sources of funding as ALEC, including Koch institutions.

The Kochs' Americans for Prosperity provides the "grassroots" boots on the ground for this agenda.

Although many SPN groups claim to be independent and non-partisan, they promote a policy agenda -- including union-busting, attacks on the tort bar, and voter suppression -- that is highly-partisan and electoral in nature. SPN President Tracie Sharp told the Wall Street Journal that she had always felt Wisconsin and Michigan were only "thinly blue," and that the GOP has been put on better footing by the unions' slide. "When you chip away at one of the power sources that also does a lot of get-out-the-vote," she says, "I think that helps -- for sure."[4]

The State Policy Network (SPN) is a network of conservative and "libertarian" think tanks hiding behind claims of transparency and small government while all promoting the same White House policies across all 50 states.

I won't link it here, but they are very easy to find. To find out who is pushing these policies in your state, you can go to their homepage and scroll down to their convenient drop down list to search for members by each state.

If you want to avoid going to their website, there's a good chance you can just find one near you by typing the name of your state + "policy institute" in a search engine.

These people are really not the most creative and the names and logos used by these network affiliates are nearly identical across several states.

As of March 2025, most are pushing the same copy paste messages, praising Musk and DOGE for doing such a great job cutting through ::insert:: "red tape" "bureaucracy" and/or "government bloat."

While SPN has tried to downplay their connection to the Heritage Foundation in recent years, an archived copy of their 2015 history page provides a much more transparent and direct account.

SPN's founder, South Carolina businessman Thomas Roe, was an early funder of the Heritage Foundation and served on the board of trustees for two decades.

Louisiana Governor's Cybersecurity State of Emergency Renewal, grants the National Guard authority to undertake any activity authorized by law deemed appropriate in response in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] AcidicBasicGlitch@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Here is a summary of everything: https://lemm.ee/post/59671562

But tldr for even that: One day last week the governor just declared he was suddenly moving the entire office that handles state emergencies (Governor's office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness-GOHSEP) under the control of the state's national guard.

On the same day he also suddenly announced he was Renewing a previous state of emergency that was created by the previous governor to address a cyber attack.

For some unknown reason that nobody has addressed, he added a new section to the renewed executive order that essentially says the director of GOHSEP has authority to do whatever he deems necessary to handle cybersecurity.

Except when he moved GOHSEP to be controlled by the National Guard, he also removed the director of the office and gave him a new title. So there is no actual director.

A member of the National Guard is acting director, so it would appear that the governor basically handed very broad control of cybersecurity to the national guard in a very underhandeded way hoping nobody would notice

I guess this got removed from the first place I tried to post it. Not sure why, but sorry if I broke a rule. This is not disinformation. All of my sources are always cited in a references list at the bottom of each blog post, but I will go ahead and add them here too.

I'm not trying to spam, but this is my home and I'm sick of watching corruption being carried out in public and ignored because it gets lost in all the noise. There is a reason they are quietly pushing these policies at state levels across the country while hiding it behind claims of small government and transparency.

By the time the federal government completely collapses they will have everything in place to start over with their new network of support built and ready to go. There will be just as much bureaucracy and bullshit as before, but we'll also lose the few rights and protections we had to fight like hell to achieve. I found this shit happening in my state, but I promise it is happening everywhere. It is growing so fast each day. Post what is happening in your state, because I guarantee it's something. Even if you live in a blue state, they have people there pushing for these same policies. Help me call this shit out!

Original Post with references list from blog added.

This all happened a week ago on the same day, but neither story really got much attention. Somehow nobody seemed to realize the order grants authority to the director of the office that is being absorbed by the national guard.

The former director is being given a new title and the interim director is National Guard Brig. Gen. Jason P. Mahfouz.

So, Louisiana, heads up I guess?

https://pimento-mori.ghost.io/comparing-edwards-original-state-of-emergency-cybersecurity-incident-with-landrys-renewal-2/

I also have been pointing out the odd timing of an allegedly bipartisan bill being put forward to liberate FEMA from the department of DHS.

The bill is being proposed by Florida Rep. Moskowitz.

If this bill succeeds, it means that FEMA no longer responds to an emergency situation as an agency. It will be changed to a cabinet position and under the control of a single cabinet member who answers to the president.

Given that the National Guard was just granted full control in any emergency situation, this means in an emergency, Louisiana loses protection of the civil rights office within FEMA that ensures full enforcement of federal civil rights laws before, during, and after disasters.

Its pretty scary to consider, and there are actually several reasons to find it suspicious.

I wrote a blog post about it: https://pimento-mori.ghost.io/states-continue-to-push-law-and-policy-that-coincidentally-aids-federal-government-agenda/

As well as a shorter plea on Lemmy to people in Louisiana desperately trying to get their attention: https://lemm.ee/post/59618046

You might be asking how a governor can have so much executive power over an entire office like that. Well it turns out that Louisiana's emergency management office has existed since the 1970s.

Funny thing about that, I just learned that it used to be the Louisiana Office of Emergency Preparedness and was under the direction of the Louisiana National Guard adjutant general from 1990 to 2006. However, if was changed to a cabinet position in the Governor's Office and became GOHSEP after Hurricane Katrina.

So, America, heads up I guess?

Clearly. Wasting stuff that's already been paid for bc it no longer "fits the mission" is probably the smartest way to save money. Thank God we have these elite minds guiding our way.

Comic books that didn't fit the mission

EV charging stations removed from every federal building

Clinical trials and experiments that were halted midway so they could be investigated for DEI

The only thing smarter than that would be wasting money on something other countries had already agreed to buy from us. Good thing our dear leaders planned ahead and destroyed USAID before all those American farmers got paid for their crops.

Y'all come on now... If anyone in Louisiana is actually seeing this, there is no way y'all are ok with that right?

The main link is a comparison of both John Bell Edwards original declaration and Landry's most recent renewal from the 20th.

One obvious difference seems to be that Landry grants to the director of the Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) authority to take whatever action he deems appropriate in response to declaration of emergency.

https://www.theadvertiser.com/story/news/local/acadiana/2025/03/21/gov-landry-louisiana-omv-emergency-software-failure/82590867007/

Allegedly it has to do with the office of motor vehicles. Wouldn't be a big deal, except on literally the same day, he announced GOHSEP is now under control of the National Guard.

According to Landry "This move not only delivers significant cost savings but also aligns with my belief in the importance of relying more on our National Guard to strengthen our state's resilience."

According to this article https://www.nola.com/news/politics/jeff-landry-restructure-gohsep-under-louisiana-national-guard-fiscal-responsibility/article_7e9e08f2-ee67-463c-a2b3-424f6165a087.html

"GOHSEP Director Jacques Thibodeaux took on a challenging role and served our state with dedication under difficult circumstances. We deeply appreciate his service," Landry said in the announcement.

Thibodeaux said in an interview that, over the next 30 days, he will help transition GOHSEP from a stand-alone agency to one under the purview of the National Guard in a role titled special assistant to the adjutant general of the Louisiana National Guard.

His plans after that are currently undetermined, Thibodeaux said. He noted that he's worked in emergency management for 40 years and is also a retired army soldier and retired U.S. Marshal.

"I'm gonna take (a) well-needed break and enjoy my family, and then I'll determine what's gonna be the next chapter," he said.

So it seems like the director named in the order, no longer exists. If I'm just dumb and misunderstanding this please explain it to me.

This bill from a Florida Rep is proposing to liberate FEMA to allegedly free it from DHS red tape, but was introduced the same day DHS secretary said during a televised cabinet meeting she plans to eliminate FEMA from DHS. With FEMA eliminated, a 4th office of civil rights under FEMA is also eliminated.

If this bill succeeds, it means that FEMA no longer responds to an emergency situation as an agency. It will be under control of a single cabinet member who answers to the president.

This means that in an emergency, we also lose protection of the civil rights office within FEMA. The FEMA Office of Civil Rights is committed to the full enforcement of federal civil rights laws before, during, and after disasters.

Does that mean it's 100% effective at doing that? Hell no. It means it's a seatbelt that only works sometimes, but these people are arguing we might as well just cut the seatbelts out of a cars for being inefficient and only working sometimes.

I am in no way arguing that FEMA doesn't need some serious fixing, but please understand that if we lose protection of civil rights during a disaster, we lose any expectation of rights being upheld by the National Guard, which is now in full control over an emergency response in Louisiana.

Hi, I posted about this yesterday, but people should be aware that the Department of Homeland Security is attempting to dismantle three civil rights offices for allegedly standing in the way of their immigration mission.

If that doesn't concern you on its own, you should know that the funny thing is, only two of the three civil rights offices are actually focused on immigration. The third is just general civil rights. So that means today it's this lady, tomorrow it's you or someone you care about.

Hey Louisiana residents, don't know if you've heard about Landry's most recent cost saving efforts?

I'm sure I don't need to tell you why this would be very bad in any normal situation, but given some other things that are occurring at the federal level with Homeland Security's Office of Civil Rights, it's even worse than that.

So, I wrote a brief post with some information about why that is, and why all Americans should be concerned by these actions: https://pimento-mori.ghost.io/states-continue-to-push-law-and-policy-that-coincidentally-aids-federal-government-agenda/
