From: https://www.economics-prorok.com/2020/09/лерос-подал-на-зеленского-в-суд-за… AlexSeptember 3, 2020 at 7:49 am as a variant. Like Ukraine is not poor in programmers. The New Order: No Governments Jim was sitting in a cafe with a friend. She asked what he was thinking so intently. He replied: "I think about the moment when evolution becomes revolution." The shrewd girl asked: "So what kind of legal government are you going to overthrow?" In response, she heard: “I suppose not one can resist. Something like this begins an essay written in the early 1990s by an iconic character named Jim Bell. It was called The Politics of Assassinations. There, the mechanism of transformation of the planet Earth into a state without a government was described in detail. In response, the US government assigned Jim a number. He is now a federal prisoner, his number is 26906-086, and his estimated release date is August 3, 2009 ( any federal prisoner in the United States can be found at http://www.bop.gov ). What is so terrible that Jim came up with, for which he was imprisoned for 10 years in a country where the first amendment to the constitution declares freedom of speech? | | | | Google Translate | | | Death tote James Dalton Bell once thought: "There is so much freedom on the Internet, how can I use all this in real life?" And he came up with an organization that is most convenient to compare with a sweepstake. A typical sweepstake works something like this: it collects money from all participants and pays those who correctly guessed the result. "Tote" by Jim Bell is arranged a little differently: here the subject of guessing is the date of death of a person, and all participants are divided into three groups. There are "donors" - those who are dissatisfied with someone. There is an "object" - this is the one with whom the "donors" are dissatisfied. And there is a "predictor" - this is the one who predicts the date of death of the "object". The "sweepstake" collects money from the "donors" and pays them to the "predictor" who correctly guessed the date of death of the "object". Unclear? Then in order. First, let's discuss in more detail the roles of the participants. For example, a man in the street sits at home and watches the news, while a fat, arrogant and arrogant corrupt politician is broadcasting from the screen. And the man in the street understands that no democracy will help remove this bastard from the trough. What is our hero doing? He anonymously deposits a certain amount (no matter how much - even a dollar, even a thousand) to a special account, thereby becoming a "donor". All those who do not like this particular politician send money to the same account. "Tote" sums up the funds received and publishes information about the amount of money collected for accurately predicting the date of death of this or that "object". It turns out such a kind of unpopularity rating. For example, for an accurate prediction of the date of death of politician A, $ 100 thousand was collected, and for politician B - $ 800 thousand. This concerns the “donors”. We emphasize once again that all "donors" are anonymous.No one under any circumstances will be able to find out who contributed money and for whom. Now let's imagine a professional (or not so professional) hitman. He sits at home and studies the unpopularity rating. More money has been filed for someone, but his security is serious. And for someone less money, but it's easier to get to it. In the end, a compromise is found, and the killer becomes a "predictor". He plans to eliminate the “object”, then makes up a prediction, which he encrypts (this moment is very important: “Tote” cannot read the text of the prediction) and, together with a certain amount of money, sends it to the address of “Tote”. What does money have to do with it? The fact is that if the amount of the bonus for a correct prediction is significant, and the subject is elderly, there is a possibility that someone could try to guess blindly: they would simply bet on all days for several years. To do so would be economically ineffective,and a requirement arose to accompany the prediction with a certain amount. In practice, this amount could be, say, one thousandth of the premium. And the organization itself. It operates strictly within the legal framework. Indeed, there is nothing illegal in sweepstakes, and the organizers know even less about the participants in such a “sweepstake” than an ordinary enterprise of this kind. The fact is that almost all information that an organization receives is encrypted. As mentioned above, the organization does not know the content of the prediction. Therefore, he cannot inform the authorities about the impending disgrace. In addition, the conditions of the "Totalizator" do not require the violent death of the "object" at all. So, the organization accumulates funds of "donors", keeps records of them, constantly publishes (for example, on the Internet) a rating of unpopularity, advertises and pays remuneration to "predictors". Digital technologies Do you think that everything described above is the delirium of a sick science fiction writer? Not at all. All this has been technologically feasible for a dozen years. At the heart of such an enterprise is digital technologies - in particular, public key encryption systems, digital signatures, digital money, Usenet and anonymous remailers. Too hard? Again, they didn't guess. However, if you're really wondering how all of this could work, check out the sidebar. Read about digital money in the next issue. Society without fools And what do we get? If such a system works and the old system of states cannot oppose it with something equally revolutionary, then it is quite obvious that in the very first months of the operation of such a system, literally all public politicians will perish. And new ones will not appear: it will be clear to everyone that appearing on television means guaranteed death. There will be no politicians, there will be no government, there will be no taxes. There will be no army. But if there is no army, then someone will immediately seize such a country? Do not hurry. Historical experience shows that peoples do not bring their enmity to a state of general war. Wars are arranged by rulers. The clearest example of this is the situation with the German people after World War II and with the peoples of the Eastern Bloc after the fall of the Berlin Wall: as soon as the rulers disappeared, the conflict disappeared with them. So why not simply “order” the ruler of a warring country today? The answer to this question is obvious: only another ruler can make such a decision today. And the first thing he thinks about is: "And if they" order "me ?!" In the case when the “customer” is society, this is exactly how, with little blood, planetary catastrophes like the First and Second World Wars will be prevented. There will be no police. But if there is no police, then the bacchanalia of crime will come! Again, no. After all, instead of the police, another, much more reliable and incorruptible mechanism of public self-regulation will appear. The fact is that the lion's share of crimes are committed by two categories of criminals - drug addicts who need to get money for drugs at any cost, and professional criminals. It is known, for example, that almost all cars are stolen by the same people. With drug addicts it is quite simple: if there is no government, then there will be no ban on drugs and the problem will move from social to medical. Drug addicts will become what alcoholics are today. Only the average life expectancy of drug addicts, as we know, is many times less. As soon as the ban on drugs disappears, this business will cease to be super profitable. And pharmaceutical corporations with vast drug experience will quickly fill the market with very cheap and high quality products. Heroin will cost like aspirin. Drug addiction as a social phenomenon will be ended very quickly. It's just that all drug addicts will self-destruct. There will be no one to attract new ones. There will be no super-profits, no drug lords, no law enforcement mafia, which is vitally interested in the fact that drugs always exist. It's even funnier with professional criminals. Insurance companies will deal with them in no time. They will simply fund really effective services for identifying criminals, and the identified villains will immediately "order" in the manner described above. We are ours, we will build a new world ... This is the picture painted by the American visionary Jim Bell in his work "The Politics of Assassination" (the best way to look for it is using google.com, by the title - "Assassination politics" and the name of the author - Jim Bell). By the way, do you know why he was jailed for 10 years? For the fact that he identified the federal agents who were tracking him, and released private information about them on the Internet. The indictment also featured a "conspiracy to assassinate federal agents through The Politics of Assassinations." So, reader, you are holding a weapon in your hands. Be vigilant!
