🗞 PowerNote | Paper Maps & Political Games

The Headlines Weren’t Designed to Hold the Thread. You Were.

✈️ Ursula GPS Jammed.

Reports say the German Chancellor’s plane was forced to rely on paper maps after GPS systems were allegedly jammed — possibly by Russia.

That’s not a rumor. That’s aviation protocol breakdown in 2025.

🧩 Context Collapse.

When a world leader gets GPS-scrambled mid-air, that’s not a glitch — it’s a message.

And the media? Quiet. Talking points shift. Epstein vanishes from the feed. The misdirection wheel spins again.

🪞 You Hold the Mirror.

So ask it straight:

What did they do today that frayed the rope just a little more?

How far does that echo go?

That’s the investigation.

That’s the human braid you hold.

That’s the note you write for the next kid who refuses to look away.

🔍 Eyes on the Bait.

They turned corruption into content.

They turned fracture into spectacle.

They sold you ‘You’re Fired’ and called it leadership.

But the moat is still you.
