This one is thanks to @FuzzyCreature :

I created a custom GPT with all 17,000 pages of the Weaponization of Government document that was just released.

You can use it yourself here: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-676718a7dd988191aff4125d419d1abd-weaponization-of-government-report-analyst

This is a long detailed list and will be posted in multiple parts due to its length.

The Barnes Brief: Daily Edition, Tuesday, September 16, 2025

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day 

The quiet observation in the early morning hours as the community awakes from the night’s slumber and with some just returning home from a long evening, the thoughtful observer in this American realist portrait where we see the world through the eyes of the observer, turning the observer into both observer and observed, conduit and source, connection to the inner world of our own in observing the outer world with her. 

B. Wisdom of the Day

“Under all conditions, well-organized violence seems to the near-sighted revolutionary the shortest distance between two points.” Leon Trotsky.

The Barnes Brief: Weekend Edition, Friday, September 12, 2025

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day

The brilliance of Banksy, the greatest public muralist alive, the pseudonym of the ubiquitous artist whose overnight artworks shape public conversation, sagely satirizing Britain’s judicially-sponsored censorship on the walls of the courthouse itself, whose state coverup only makes the point of the art that much more persuasive. 

B. Wisdom of the Day

“I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.” Gandhi. 

C. Cultural Recommendation

The respectable members of the Klan, whose political permission slip from the powers-that-be animated the sick, violent fantasies of it’s psychotic members. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216152554-behind-the-mask-of-chivalry?

The Barnes Brief: Daily, Thursday, September 11, 2025

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day

The famed painting of the painter who painted me before his time (or so the joke goes about his portrait of a patron saint of the arts that looks like a biographical portrait) depicting the horrors of politicized violence he witnessed first hand in the bombing of the Basque town during the Spanish Civil War. 

B. Wisdom of the Day

“I saw troops who had fought bravely denounced as cowards and traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed as the heroes of imaginary victories, and I saw newspapers in London retailing these lies and eager intellectuals building emotional superstructures over events that had never happened.” George Orwell, Spanish Civil War. 

C. Cultural Recommendation

Two brilliant books by Orwell, one capturing the insanity of the Spanish Civil War and its welcoming of politicized violence, as well as the nature of life for the impoverished in early industrial London & Paris. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7802296-homage-to-catalonia-down-and-out-in-paris-and-london?
