Soul Cookies galore from India - build your own village roads, help others, create a world worth living in - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 05 Sep '20

Now here is a grass roots story of a Bollywood didn't-make-it-to-engineering actor whose heart was moved witnessing the struggles so many faced when India locked herself down pretty hard - he just got out there and started helping left right and centre, from food to travel to a tractor to thousands joining a job-search app he launched, Sonu Sood transformed over night from an actor to a real life hero, gettin' shirt done! We -can-, absolutely, create our world. No matter what "obstacles" you think you face, others face far greater challenges, so pray for them and get on and create your own world. Blame is not the tool to construct your world with. Creativity, action and persistence -are- at least some of tools you will need, to create your world. Just compare from literally a century ago, when we had steam engines and hundreds of men in order to cut e.g. a road or railway over a mountain pass, and yet now we have technology which can build superhighways easily: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VosNYbb4eA8 So, create your world ;) Bollywood Actor Sonu Sood Rises as Superhero in Real Life in the Age of Corona https://sputniknews.com/india/202009041080365324-bollywood-actor-sonu-sood-…

Re: NSA phone spying didn't stop terrorist

Quite a lot of smoke has been blown about Snowden's operation, including the latest court decision and report about stopping terrorist attacks. First, NSA never accurately discloses tthe effect of attacks, leaks, disclosures, public service announcements, job applications, FOIA responses, answers to inquiries, historical accounts, participations in conferences, educational programs, secrecy agreements, lectures, memoires of ex-officials, the gamut. Second, the Snowden operation's history, reporting, lawsuits,, books, articles, lectures, speeches, movies, interviews have multiple gaps, perforations, speculations, wishful thinkings, disinformation, lbald-faced lies, fictions, diversions,, pardon advocacies and possibilities, the gamut. Third, these kind of operations are ancient, repetitive, legendary, taught at spy academies, honed and advanced in the agencies, universities, copied from and fed to allies and opponents,, provided to publicity and media and educational iintitutions, exchanged with contractors and ohter spy agencies, leaked, dropped, hurled, left in bars and backseats and trains and bedrooms and forums and on dead bodies/ implanted on servers and clouds and classified trransmissions (iie, Manning's op and those regularly featured as from unhappy insiders, freedom fighters, natsec specialists, vengeful ex-mates and BFFs). Relevance here is the heavy use of inevitably-failure cryptography for classifying, advancing, promoting and disclosing these deceptions, along with the welter of tools for obscuring, enticing and decorating. Privacy a favorite of the 1990s-2000s. Notably, Jon Callas has recently joined EFF,

Trump: your 'Civil Duty' as a Trump voter is to test mail in vote system by "voting twice", mail + at the poll - [PEACE] + [MUCH LAUGHTER]
by Zenaan Harkness 03 Sep '20

03 Sep '20

OK, the BabylonBee.com is simply not going to be able to satirize this one, life in 2020 is just that far fetchedly humorous in actual real life :D So Trump calls on ALL red voters to TEST the dem-rats "mail in voting" system by VOTING TWICE! Literally can't make this shirt up :D This is a very rational move, because by TESTING the Demon-rat mail in voting system that the "Democratic" party is pushing so hard (and pre- sending out some 80 million blank ballots), whilst at the same time these demon rats are denying the possibly of any relevant level of "voter fraud", this "voting system of integrity" which the Dem-rats are so desperate for must, of course, be diligently tested by dutiful Trump voters, to, of course, ensure the integrity of the voting system. Now not that it would happen in these circles, but if you DID happen to have some feelz about how bad the orange man is for making this call, remember the very recent call by a prominent public Demon-rat who says as follows: Trump Leads Biden At The Bookies Amid Surge In Black Americans' Support https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-leads-biden-bookies-amid-surge-bl… ... it appears Democrats may be preparing for just such a scenario, as a top Democratic data and analytics firm told "Axios on HBO" it's highly likely that President Trump will appear to have won - potentially in a landslide - on election night, even if he ultimately loses when all the votes are counted. https://www.axios.com/bloomberg-group-trump-election-night-scenarios-a554e8… "We are sounding an alarm and saying that this is a very real possibility, that the data is going to show on election night an incredible victory for Donald Trump," Hawkfish CEO Josh Mendelsohn said. "[but], when every legitimate vote is tallied and we get to that final day, which will be some day after Election Day, it will in fact show that what happened on election night was exactly that, a mirage." How about that hey? If Trump wins on election night, it will be nothing but "a mirage" as day after day, week after week, Democrat mail in votes will tip each relevant state and ultimately Biden WILL win". How about that, hey? According to the Demon-rats, no matter what happens around November 3, there WILL subsequently be an endless stream of mail in Democrat votes for Biden, which will eventually win Biden the election! And so, is anyone surprised that a rational response was forthcoming? Hey hey, some might be surprised, but damn, dis one fine, fine piece of master-stroke response: Trump triggers cries of ‘voter fraud’ from Dems after suggesting his supporters could try vote TWICE to test NC mail-in system https://www.rt.com/usa/499749-trump-vote-twice-mail-in/ US President Donald Trump has proposed that voters in North Carolina cast their ballots twice to test the state’s mail-in voting system, prompting criticism that he promoted the same “fraud” his detractors insist was impossible. “Well, they’ll go out and they’ll vote, and they’re going to have to go check their vote by going to the poll and voting that way, because if it tabulates, then they won’t be able to do that,” the president told reporters during a visit to North Carolina on Wednesday when asked about his confidence in mail-in voting. Let them send it in and let them go vote, and if their system’s as good as they say it is, then obviously they won’t be able to vote. If it isn’t tabulated, they’ll be able to vote. That’s the way it is. Trump clearly tells his supporters to commit election fraud in North Carolina. pic.twitter.com/qDrgm1gLls — Ted Corcoran (Red T Raccoon) (@RedTRaccoon) September 3, 2020 I have one word: fire, trucking, brilliant, response! (See that? Count each of those 1 words :D ) Check mate, Demon-rats!! And let me just say to the tactical counter-ops guys on this one: well, fire, trucking, done. And we can be pretty sure that this integrity test will be occurring NOT just in North Carolina - the whole firetrucking country must be tested, since we KNOW there are different systems in different states. What can we say, but that this is merely a civil duty of each and every Trump voter, to mail in their vote, and to test their ability to vote on voting day. The timing suggests that to REALLY put these "wonderful Democrat promoted voting machines and systems for mail in voting" to the PROPER test, that your mail in vote needs to be mailed in about 4 or 5 days prior to election day - you really need to give the system a few days to properly tabulate your vote PRIOR to election day!

It's an Ill Wind
by Peter Fairbrother 03 Sep '20

2- It's an Ill Wind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XRc389TvG8 So now we know: first, that the UK government is actually deliberately trying to infect over 40 million UK citizens, and in doing so expecting, on their figures, 400,000 deaths. The reason given for this is to develop "herd immunity", where there are so many people who have had the virus that there is nobody for someone who later contracts it to give it to, as everybody has already had it and is immune. But the Chinese didn't do that. They implemented strong containment and stopped the virus dead. They didn't "lessen the peak", they obliterated the peak. There is no reason why we can't do that too. But the Government insists on buying herd immunity at the cost of at least 400,000 (more likely a million [1]) deaths. Why? The question arises, what good would herd immunity, bought at such a terrible cost in deaths, do? The reason given is that the Government believes that COVID-19 will turn into a seasonal disease, and herd immunity might protect us from it's return next year. There are three big problems with that - First, we don't know that it will return at all. Second, if it does return next year, it will have mutated - and like flu, it is likely that the herd immunity, so dearly bought, will not be effective against next year's version, if it happens. There is also concern about people in China who seem to have gotten the disease twice. We don't know why that is, whether it is two different strains of the virus (there are several hundred known varieties of the COVID-19 virus, it mutates fairly rapidly) or people getting the disease twice - however in either case that would lower the usefulness of any herd immunity. So, I don't see why the UK Government are killing 400,000 people. Apparently it isn't because the UK has a large proportion of older people. Older people who need extensive healthcare, expensive pensions, who tie up a lot of wealth and property - of the predicted 400,000 (million) deaths the vast majority would be of older people. This clearing away of unproductive and expensive (and wealthy) older population would more than balance the budget, releasing £10 billion per year in state pensions, £20 billion per year in heathcare costs, and so on. It would stop the disease in the UK fairly quickly, and it would be the cheapest option (ignoring the actuarial but not-real-pounds cost of the deaths). It would release several hundred thousand badly-needed homes (and cause a property price crash; the UK needs about 1 million homes, which is why UK property is so expensive) and would provide a more balanced population pyramid. So for the UK as a nation it would not be a bad thing (ignoring the deaths), and I fear some politicians may think "Hey, it's just the useless oldies, who cares?". But no. There is probably a sensible reason we don't implement strong confinement and stop the virus in its tracks, rather than letting it have its way. Unfortunately I don't know what that reason is. Peter Fairbrother [1] I calculate around a million deaths, but that is a bit of a back-of-the envelope calculation based on known death rates elsewhere and comparative population age spreads. Exact figures also depend on some assumptions about things we do not know about the disease. I have made what I think are reasonable assumptions. I don't know how reasonable the Goverment's assumptions are, or how they came up with the 400,000 figure.
