Like his dad, an ex-Marine who worked as a welder on the space shuttle and Mars landers, Greenewald liked looking up at the stars. One day he decided to feed his curiosity by surfing the Web, which at the time meant dialing into America Online and waiting patiently. When he had a connection, he went to the Computer UFO Network, or cufon, a site that had been around since, believe it or not, 1983, disseminating “reliable, verifiable information” on UFO phenomena. cufon had just posted what it claimed to be a document from the United States government describing the sighting of a mother ship—that is, a large aircraft that could release smaller “parasite” aircraft—flying over Iran. Greenewald clicked. It was a report from... Greenewald sent a foia request for the missing files, but the CIA said it could not find them. Greenewald then sent a ninety-seven-page fax to the CIA proving their existence. The CIA admitted it had made a mistake but said that Greenewald would need to pay $425.80 for the remaining pages. For a while he called himself an archivist. “But at this point I don’t even know if that’s accurate, because it is more than that. I’m trying to educate the public on what really is there to be discovered. I’m not sure how to label it.”

General purpose hospital is utterly stupid thing to be flooding cases into under a mass affliction. Hospital are general triage and specialized case facilities. Flood them with disease transmitters and you end up wiping out the entire staff thus shutting the entire hospital down. Staff and facilities are far more valuable alive to handle the random shit that shows up at hospitals and do the specialized things. Instead focus care efficiently tuned to the mass affliction by diverting all the diseased people away from hospitals and out to warehouses, cruise ships, new rapid builds, etc full of cots, food service, mass produced respirators and other med gear and supplies, tv's, internet, books, showers, tent farms, drywalled family rooms inside, etc. Everybody there is already afflicted with the single underlying issue, so train them to self care and peer care for that, same as they'd get in the flooded out hospitals for that issue. Then move whatever number you can handle out to more complex "hospital" treatment sections of the same isolation farms as needed. And accept that big losses will happen. Flooding your hospitals is *not* going to change that, and *will* make things worse. Trying to wipe out all your hospitals, all your doctors, surgeons, knowledge, etc... is not smart. Civilization shutdown its mass facilities, wrote off and forgot how to deal with massive single cause casualties since 70 years quiet since last big wars, and other causes on that scale, many of which were easy... "stop the bleeding"... not "do not catch it too" kind of pandemic hasn't really been seen in 100+ years. Now all you have left in cities of *millions* of people, is under 500 beds total worth of proper isolation wards, those are largely meant for holding new unknown bugs and the recurring background noise of known nasties, with all other space on hospital land dedicated to five star baby birthing hotels, trendy cancer shops, pointless architectural atriums, big office rooms, etc. And all other space in the cities completely tuned to commercial purposes. With zero durables supply stockpiles, and no excess production capacity maintained on decade[s] span cold standby... because "just in time" wiped all that out. Deadly contagion is fucked up, expect that. You should have. People warned you.

Assassination Politics

Oh how so few are brave enough to even utter, or further speak on, such a cypherpunk subject, what pussies, the whole lot of them, lol. Previously it was noted that many may elect not to ever partake in any analysis, coding, deployment of an AP system as they might presumably think that as being against their NAP worldview. Yet others have noted aspects, rational as they may or may not be, of "the means to an end", being an efficient, acceptable, one time lapse in such supposed principles, or otherwise being reasonable, and even perhaps necessary, to attainment of any degree of positive outcome in their lifetime, indeed if ever. What valid revolution that hath no solid spark? Still others debate any need to proof AP concept at the highest level first, if ever at all, versus merely proving that any lower level as an effective "threat" "just works", should any "targets" therein abd after be foolish enough to not elect to stand down at that moment, thus raising the necessity of any next level coming into effect. Now... we see more of the technological componenets needed to build such a system are coming online in their first generation rollouts... - The Internet - Strong cryptography, ZKP, TLS, etc - Overlay networks, WiFi, GnuRadio, etc - Blockchain tech, contracts, privacy coins... Eth, Zcash, XMR, mixes - Bidding, markets, and wagering systems... OpenBazaar, Augur - Distributed Oracles in crypto networks... Chainlink Distributed Oracles... this last bit is perhaps quite key. It addresses some ways to obtain and push (or pull as the case may be with forthcoming development of anonymous virtual compute and fetching programs, "viruses" ie autonomously executing and surviving as instances inside larger overlay compute networks), generating a consensus view of the outside envrionment (weather, news, insurance premiums and payout, sports scores, etc) down into the blockchain contracts for execution based upon resolution and assessment of that external data. https://decrypt.co/resources/what-is-chainlink The "Chainlink" "coin" may be one such first generation of an Oracle network now online. Where users may push obversations of their real physical world down into the virtual chain for a consensus to be formed over. Even top worldwide real world ol school "news" organizations would eventually seek to be profitably compensated by the consensus for providing their objective "vote" or "view" on what happened in form of newsfeed release then summed as part of consensus of verifiers. This function, separate and unknowable from the consumers of such data and providers of same, with natural uses being AP, among many others. Today anyone can deploy a centralized AP, and payout and release coin funds based on what they alone see or deem as the true news. But in the future there will be a crypto consensus of truth taken over all the news from all around the globe. This may prove to be a quite hard to corrupt thing, on the order of the "difficulty" of say Bitcoin-BTC today. Point being, in the last few years, perhaps with Chainlink as a first example of an Oracle, technology is progressing to where it is now almost possible to create a nearly autonomous AP system. The AI bot is the last bit, where Ethereum and others are supposedly trying to create some pre-first-gen bot compute platforms for that, payment of gas of course provided by the AP bidders, a fee as with any mutual fund. The Future being unknowable and often very far away, and the post-freedom non-diversity of the "globalist political homogeneity" situation worldwide thought by many to be and becoming *extremely* dire, it would not be surprising to find some risk taking entrepreneurs seriously launching a more centralized version of AP using the admittedly poor first gen components already available to them today. After all, as some say, any effective AP, by its very nature of having already proven some minimal degree of function (say mailing of feces to journos for example documentary purposes), will surely encourage and convince all rational "targets" to stand down well before any physical harm befalls them, lest such degree of function indeed eventually be applied to an unfortunate end. And is such benign encouragement beforehand not indeed an embodiment and cherishment of NAP at its maximum, best, and rational limits? Many might say yes. You decide.

Globalism: MINDSPACE - From 9/11 to The Great Reset Matrix
by grarpamp 05 Jul '22

05 Jul '22

https://asiatimes.com/2020/09/from-9-11-to-the-great-reset/ https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/documents/21252030%20Agenda%2… https://www.bi.team/publications/mindspace/ " Something’s gotta give. And then, out of the blue, it did. A drive by design towards ironclad concentration of power and geoeconomic diktats was first conceptualized – under the deceptive cover of “sustainable development” – already in 2015 at the UN (here it is, in detail). Now, this new operating system – or technocratic digital dystopia – is finally being codified, packaged and “sold” since mid summer via a lavish, concerted propaganda campaign. The whole Planet Lockdown hysteria that elevated Covid-19 to post-modern Black Plague proportions has been consistently debunked, for instance here and here, drawing from the highly respected, original Cambridge source. The de facto controlled demolition of large swathes of the global economy allowed corporate and vulture capitalism, world wide, to rake untold profits out of the destruction of collapsed businesses. And all that proceeded with widespread public acceptance – an astonishing process of voluntary servitude. None of it is accidental. As an example, over ten years ago, even before setting up a – privatized – Behavioral Insights Team, the British government was very much interested in “influencing” behavior, in collaboration with the London School of Economics and Imperial College. The end result was the MINDSPACE report. That was all about behavioral science influencing policymaking and most of all, imposing neo-Orwellian population control. MINDSPACE, crucially, featured close collaboration between Imperial College and the Santa Monica-based RAND corporation. Translation: the authors of the absurdly flawed computer models that fed the Planet Lockdown paranoia working in conjunction with the top Pentagon-linked think tank. https://www.weforum.org/focus/the-great-reset https://intelligence.weforum.org/ https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/04/strategic-intelligence-widget-artifi… https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/06/now-is-the-time-for-a-great-reset/ https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/07/covid19-this-is-how-to-get-the-great… And that is more than enough to beautifully set up “the cure”: The Great Reset. The beating heart The Great Reset was officially launched in early June by the World Economic Forum (WEF) – the natural habitat of Davos Man. Its conceptual base is something the WEF describes as Strategic Intelligence Platform: “a dynamic system of contextual intelligence that enables users to trace relationships and interdependencies between issues, supporting more informed decision-making”. The Great Reset is immensely ambitious, spanning over 50 fields of knowledge and practice. It interconnects everything from economy recovery recommendations to “sustainable business models”, from restoration of the environment to the redesign of social contracts. The beating heart of this matrix is – what else – the Strategic Intelligence Platform, encompassing, literally, everything: “sustainable development”, “global governance”, capital markets, climate change, biodiversity, human rights, gender parity, LGBTI, systemic racism, international trade and investment, the – wobbly – future of the travel and tourism industries, food, air pollution, digital identity, blockchain, 5G, robotics, artificial intelligence (AI). The Great Reset presupposes that all stakeholders – as in the whole planet – must toe the line. Otherwise, as Schwab stresses, we will have “more polarization, nationalism, racism, increased social unrest and conflicts”. In the end, only an all-in-one Plan A applies for making these systems interact seamlessly: the Great Reset – shorthand for a New World Order that has always been glowingly evoked, but never implemented. There is no Plan B. Whether Covid-19’s ultimate “window of opportunity” presented itself as a mere coincidence or by design, will always remain a very juicy question. Already three months ago, Schwab’s book hinted that the more everyone is mired in the global paralysis, the more it’s clear that things will never be allowed (italics mine) to return to what we considered normal. What has been imposed as an ironclad consensus is that without a Covid-19 vaccine there’s no possibility of anything resembling normality. https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2020/05/15/how-biosecurity-is-enabli… What matters above all is the “window of opportunity” offered by Covid-19, boosting, among other issues, the expansion of what I previously described as Digital Neo-Feudalism – or Algorithm gobbling up Politics. No wonder politico-economic institutions from the WTO to the EU as well as the Trilateral Commission are already investing in “rejuvenation” processes, code for even more concentration of power. "
