Globalism: MINDSPACE - From 9/11 to The Great Reset Matrix
by grarpamp 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. "

Mail and delivery services worldwide are now doing similar, including requiring and recording government photo ID to send parcels and letters, storing all camera footage, facial, and ALPR logs, of the facilities forever, etc.

This comes across as quite philosophical, though it's hard to parse being heavy pidgin. In any case, nice to see an attempt at a philosophical analysis: Kenosha: A Pale Cleansing or Fiddle with It to Realize? http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/kenosha-a-pale-cleansing-or-fiddle-with-it-to…

I am unable to torify my fetchmail anymore, because Torsocks prevents setguid programs from running, which does not interfeer with fetchmail but does interfeer with procmail. Does anyone know a solution? I am still able to send torified, but am unable to recieve torified via pop3 and I do not want to continue this behavior. -- |-----/ | Se7en / The One and Only! | se7en(a)cock.email / | 0x0F83F93882CF6116 / | https://se7en-site.neocities.org

Cryptocurrency: Costs of Fiat are Unsustainable Not Crypto, VZ Bitcoin Satellite, CloudFlare

The libertarian sort of nature of cryptocurrency will continue making larger impacts as time goes on. And thanks to decrypt.co for not using CloudFlare to block Tor users from reading their site. Too many crypto news aggregators and crypto services sites seem perhaps not aware of what their CloudFlare settings are doing in that regard. That's the whole point with satellite, privacy coins, etc... to route around silly censorship blocking. If people like decrypt.co, send them some satoshi for bandwidth, and get them setup with their own .onion / .i2p. > I must say congrats to Venezuela for the idea to > communicate via a satellite in space, > when Internet connectivity sucks. Yes, the leading distributed permissionless uncensorable privacy cryptos are all making cool progress in Venezuela, and in satcom and other comms, as posted in various fora... https://old.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin+Bitcoincash+CryptoCurrencies+CryptoCurrenc… https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/2020-September/082278.html > While I must admit that I am no longer a fan of crypto > currencies (huge global energy resources waste IMHO) And what analysis are people basing that on? It is clear that people are forgetting to add up ALL of the global resources wasted on supporting Fiat Currencies. That is an understandable oversight given that all of the major media and fraudulent anti-crypto "research" reporting on "energy resource waste"... (their analysis is funded by obsolete Banks Governments Corporations all dependant on each other to exist in Fiat)... typically only adds up the mining costs, and fails to do a comparison to Fiat at all, let alone a high quality honest comparison that strives to include... ALL of the... Electricity used by paper bill printing and coin stamping machines globally. All their shredders and smelters and mining and tree sawing and paper making chemical processes deforestation, the distribution channels, and gasoline, diesel, coal, oil, lubrication, maintenance. Pollution costs, lung cancer costs, physical waste costs. Safe storage and transport costs for "money". Printing employee costs, wasted closed market government dictated health care costs. Cash register, security cam, alarm systems electricity. And all that and *much* more is just for physicality of producing and handling with it. Then they did also forget to add up ALL the Bank building costs, maintenance, daily commute costs, wear on and pollution from their tires. The cost fees they steal from you to "hold" your money and move it around for you, 2 and 20 management, and the costs to get it back when they censor and lock your flow. All their computers on their desks, all their lights, all the electricity and chems used to process their feces that flow down their toilet sewers before it hits the river, oopsie. They forgot ALL the existence of Government "laws" around money... all the "law" editors, publishers, glitzy marble government buildings, $170k/year salary that Government "representatives" steal from you to waste hours debating Fiat on their floors, and dabbling in politically immune corruption. Cost of all the Fiat Bank lobbyists, their air travel, and so much more. Cost of prisons and loss of all your assets and property for using it to buy and sell harmless plants, or to exchange cryptocurrencies with each other without a "license". Then add up the entirely Government "leader" initiated WARS over monetary trade imbalances, to take out other "leaders" and easy centralized Fiat targets. Their epic initiations of murderous immoral force to steal more resources and trap up people to fund the "growth" needed to offset the crippling debt inherent with how Fiat is created by Central Banks and Govt without imploding. Go ahead... add it all up, ALL OF IT, all that wasted energy in the entire Global System of Fiat that is rapidly becoming obsolete by cryptocurrency. Fiat currency is so wasteful that it makes even a world based only on Gold and Silver, sans Govt involvement, look resource cheap in comparison to Fiat's all-in costs. Nor do people realize that in the long term, cryptocurrency can, does, and will run on little more, relatively speaking in comparison, than sand (silicon) and solar power. In fact, solar's free clean renewable input will be among few competitive ways remaining, with wind, and nuclear a bit more. And without Government in the way propping up energy legacies, and with open markets and self and other unsystem schooling options, uncensored peer to peer comms around the world, allowing people to see through GovCorp secrets and lies, and make new enlightened choices for their own Earth environment... crypto continues to look very good. Anyone trying to step to cryptocurrency talking the typical dishonest limited scope "energy waste" weaksauce will get destroyed by even armchair estimates of all-in costs.

Cypherpunks: There Are None Here (ex: Privacy 1984: Predictive Policing on the Rise)
by grarpamp 19 Apr '21

19 Apr '21

> grarpamp, your posts are awesome work! Thank you. My posts, while noting obvious news for those without insight, are otherwise complete garbage, and are rightly offtopic filtered straight to trash by most. Further, hardly any discussions ever ensue from anyone's post, quite a very sad state of affairs given the variety of relatively charter relavant topics posted by whoever, for which 90% of your posts are completely offtopic and should be shitcanned by readers as such. Anyway, it is quite reasonably doubtful that any so called "Cypherpunks" or "Crypto Anarchists" or even any lesser Libertarians even exist here, at least effectively none who are remotely capable of bringing that game out to the public speaking activism sphere on how, among other things, that Peace Love and Crypto-Anarchism could work to bring a better world regarding any number of charter related topics, perhaps starting with simple AnCap Voluntaryism, or even just basic An-*. No, the list is more full of disgustingly silent Leeches, Journos searching for their next story, harvesting bots, sadistic Agents looking for their next entrapped life ruining and pointless bust, and GovCorp surveillance to preempt game and get 1-up headoff lead on future developments in history. > prayer, or more prayer Prayer is for the meek who shall not inherit anything in this Earth but their own sheepledom. Cypherpunks are not sheep, they write code and execute [on] program. Stop being fucking sheep.
