The Truth is Paywalled But the Lies Are Free: Notes on why I hoard data

https://old.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/i7uvve/the_truth_is_paywalled… https://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/bavaria-to-ban-printing-of-hit… https://www.schoyencollection.com/23-religions/extinct-religions/23-1-sumer… " https://www.currentaffairs.org/2020/08/the-truth-is-paywalled-but-the-lies-… I came across a beautifully written article by Nathan J. Robinson about how quality work costs money to access and propaganda is freely given. The article makes some good points on why it is important for data to be more free, which I will summarize below: 1) Nobody is allowed to build a giant free database of everything human beings have ever produced. 2) Copyright law can be an intensive restriction on the freedom of speech and determines what information you can (and not) share with others. 3) The concept of a public community library needs to evolve. As books, and other content move online, our communities have as well. 4) Human creativity is phenomenally leashed when human knowledge is limited. 5) Free and affordable libraries are dying. This got me thinking about why I care about hoarding data. Data is invaluable! A digital dark age is forming around us and we can do what we can to prevent it. A lot of people here will hoard data for personal reasons. I hoard data for others. The things the people in this subreddit hoard whether it be movies, Youtube, pictures, news articles, websites, all of it is culture. Its history. Even memes and social media are not crap. Even literal shit is valuable to a scatologist. Can you imagine if we were able to find the preserved excrement from a long extinct animal? What one sees as shit, is so much more to someone else who is trained and educated. Its data. The internet and social media around us is Art and Culture from our time. This is history for the future to use and learn. Things go viral for a reason. The information shared in the jokes and content are snapshots of the public's thinking and perspective on the world. Invaluable data for future scholars. Imagine we found a Viking warship and on it was a perfectly preserved book of jokes. Sure many at the time might have thought they were shit jokes made at the expense of others. But we would learn so much about their customs, society, and the evolution of human civilization if this book was preserved and found. And the book's contents were made available to the world. Also a lot of political content is shared on social media and comment sections as well. Our understanding of politics will be carved up in units of memes, and shared on thousands of siloed paywalled platforms and mediums over time. And our role is to collect and consolidate them. This is but a small sliver of the documentation of how our world is changing around us. And we can do our part to save and make free to others as much of it as we can. "

Soros FOG plans 50 day "Occupy" protest at Whitehouse - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

[FOG = False Oppositional Group] Well "surprise, surprise", Soros' crew is now planning a 50 day "seige" of the Whitehouse, an "occupy" style "protest" to coincide precisely with the November 2020 USA elections - who could have predicted this? Who Stands To Benefit? Group Behind 'Occupy Wall Street' Plans 50-Day "White House Siege" Stacey Lennox via PJMedia.com, https://pjmedia.com/election/stacey-lennox/2020/08/12/who-stands-to-benefit… https://www.zerohedge.com/political/who-stands-benefit-group-behind-occupy-… Adbusters, the group credited with energizing the Occupy Wall Street protests, is now pushing a 50-day siege on the White House beginning on September 17. [https://www.adbusters.org/] This date is the same day the Occupy riots started in 2011. The group is an anti-consumerism magazine based in Vancouver, British Columbia. On September 17, 2020 we will lay siege to The @WhiteHouse for exactly fifty days. We need your wisdom and expertise to pull off a radically democratic toneshift in our politics. Are you ready for #revolution? This is the #WhiteHouseSiege 🔥https://t.co/gWw8jDJC05 pic.twitter.com/bTxyLvl7a7 — Adbusters (@Adbusters) July 28, 2020 You might call Adbusters the marketing wing of the revolution. It would be naive to think the use of the words “siege” and “occupation” are unintentional. They did occupy Wall Street for nearly two months from Zuccotti Park in New York City’s financial district. Protests continued through the first anniversary and have recurred at least annually since. They have an activist wing, the Blackspot Collective. They claim they have 13,000 activists in their collective and are explicit in their desire to overturn liberal democracy. Liberal, in this case, refers to our foundational ideas—free speech, individual rights and freedoms, property rights, and objective reality—not left-wing politics. https://www.adbusters.org/campaigns You would also have to be pretty wet behind the ears to assume some of the agitators in Lafayette Park recently were not their operatives. It is highly likely they used the Peaceful Protestors™ as cover to collect intelligence about how federal law enforcement operates and to develop plans. During the Occupy riots, NPR reported that Adbusters distanced themselves from the protests: Adbusters is an anti-consumerism magazine based in Vancouver, British Columbia. This summer, it proposed a Sept. 17 “occupation” of Wall Street, and the idea caught fire. Adbusters doesn’t claim any control over the protests. It wouldn’t give NPR an interview, for instance, for fear of overshadowing the movement. It sees itself more as an idea shop, sort of an “anti-advertising firm” that takes special glee in creating fake ads to subvert the message of real products https://www.npr.org/2011/10/20/141526467/exploring-occupy-wall-streets-adbu… With the new activist arm, this type of distance from any outcome of the advertised “siege” becomes much more difficult. The two groups share a website and make their association quite clear. Adbusters has a manifesto, and so does Blackspot. https://www.adbusters.org/listserv/the-metamemetic-insurrection https://www.adbusters.org/campaigns Adbusters provides the visual art to communicate ideas in what they refer to as The Metamematic Insurrection, or meme war: In short, we must rethink almost all economic, political, and cultural precepts we’ve taken for granted for generations. We must breathe fresh life into progressivism, revive its mojo, and return it to the visionary force for change it once was. Our strategy is to zero in on a new grand narrative, a once-in-a-millennium mind shift, a set of big ideas — metamemes — so fundamental, so systemic, so profound that a sane and sustainable future is unthinkable without them. [This is Brzezinsky-tier speak and Soros levels of chutzpa.] In short, they are shooting for an economic, political, and cultural revolution. When you watch the latest rant on Adbusters’ website, the things they hate become clear. Capitalism, individual freedom, and private property are the things they seek to tear down. You can see this clearly in their featured video. The background narrative is comedian George Carlin, so it is only fair to provide a language warning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OhxXy03frE It is interesting to note that woke CEO Jeff Bezos is featured. One has to wonder when these successful businessmen will understand there is no amount of virtue signaling that will save them from the mob. They are genuinely the frogs in the pot. Now Blackspot is much more direct in their language. They are explicitly calling for a collectivist and intersectional revolution. Note the reference to tactical briefings. Attorney General Bill Barr is not overstating the organization and training these insurrectionist groups engage in: Acting as one, we can overturn the failing neoliberal order, revitalize democracy and secure a sustainable future that computes. But only if we can summon the radical ideas and revolutionary spirit equal to overcoming these threats — existential threats that we all must face together. We’re at a tipping point. The internet has reversed a centuries old power dynamic. Billions of us now hold the most revolutionary tool ever invented in the palms of our hands. Backed by collectives like ours, the streets have unprecedented power. After centuries of rule by kings, emperors, tyrants, mad men, fascists, communists, Maoists, military dictatorships, corporations and white supremacists like Donald Trump, we can now take charge of our own destiny and start calling the shots from below. Today we are 10,000 strong. Tomorrow we will be 100,000. The day after next, we could amass a billion people — enough to spark a world revolution in how we live, love and think. Hysterically, the primary campaign of an anti-consumerism magazine touts the products of capitalism and consumerism as the means to organize a revolution. They’re filming the revolution with their iPhones and they are too steeped in their social-justice memes to see the irony. This unrest is going to put Democrats in a precarious position in the lead-up to the election. The entire party establishment has allowed Peaceful Protestors™ in places like Portland and Seattle to engage in violence and destruction without consequence. After Americans witness 50 days of escalating insanity in the nation’s capital in the lead-up to the election, support for law and order is likely to increase. The elites of the Democrat Party, including Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris, are going to have to denounce these radicals if they want to have a prayer in the suburbs. With Black Lives Matter endorsing looting in Chicago over the past weekend, leading Democrats kneeling in deference to their demands becomes absurd. https://reason.com/2020/08/11/black-lives-matter-chicago-publicly-defends-r… To remain silent in the face of more Peaceful Protestors™ in our nation’s capital should not bring them the electoral success they seek. Groups like Blackspot are trying to tear down liberal democracy, capitalism, and Western culture. Establishment Democrats are steeped in both of these. Insurrectionists may hate President Trump more, but only because he will not bend a knee. Rest assured, they only hate the Democrat establishment slightly less. Ultimately their revolution is less about justice than it is about power—and no establishment Democrat will inevitably be spared. They might want to take their eyes off their pursuit of power and recognize the real existential threat. It is not mainstream conservatives or even Donald Trump. Given recent events, there is no reason to believe they will see the truth in that statement any time soon. TAKE NOTICE, Juan: In the "gleeful wish" for chaos, you directly echo the Kabala playbook of "order" from literal chaos - and it sure as hell won't be _your_ preferred order that gets imposed on us all: rather, another "grand chessboard" cycle of usurious fiat enslavement of us all...

Countering anti-White racism - college admissions - positive steps - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 14 Aug '20

A smallish yet positive step in countering anti-White racism - ZeroHedge again with the scoop: DoJ Finds Yale Admissions Illegally Discriminated Against Whites, Asians https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/doj-finds-yale-admissions-illegally-dis… After more than two years of investigations, the DoJ has finally determined that Yale university's discriminatory practices during the admissions process amounted to evidence of discrimination against white and Asian-American applicants, in violation of a federal civil rights statute. The DoJ's two-year investigation concluded that Yale "rejects scores of Asian American and white applicants each year based on their race, whom it otherwise would admit." Not only did Trump's DoJ pick up the previously rejected 2016 complaint, breathing new life into a movement to return US civil rights policy concerning collegiate admissions back to the standard from the Bush era, which was "race blind" admissions. After many years of squawking about that standard being unfair, the Obama Administration ushered in a new "affirmative action" policy that called for quotas. Trump officially reversed the policy in July 2018. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-07-03/trump-reverses-obama-era-policies… "Yale’s race discrimination imposes undue and unlawful penalties on racially-disfavored applicants, including in particular Asian American and White applicants," Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband, the head of the department’s civil rights division, wrote in a letter to the college’s attorneys. The complaint was based on years of complaints from white and asian applicants who claim they were only rejected because their race made them "similar" to other applicants. Phrases like "she doesn't have the right profile" - with "profile" being used as a kind of dog whistle for "she's not the right race" - were uncovered in the records obtained by the DoJ from schools including Yale, Harvard and Dartmouth. [No bloody wonder Twatter recently perma-banned David Duke who has been leading the charge on this very actual racist and horrificly anti-White college admissions scam, which as Dr. Duke has pointed out prolifically in endless factual detail, has been in operation for decades due to the actions of members of this one little tribe which may never ever be mentioned in any negative light ever.]

Soros: Trump “remains very dangerous,” because “he’s fighting for his life and he will do anything to stay in power.” - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 13 Aug '20

Soros lays down the law for November: apparently according to Soros, Trump is "fighting for his life" in this upcoming election. It does not surprise me that Skull & Bones "graduates" would lay down such principles. Do not take November for granted folks. George Soros Discusses “Revolutionary Moment,” Market Bubble, Punishing Trump After Election http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/george-soros-discusses-revolutionary-moment-m… Don’t put any of this in a bad light. If you said it like it was bad, that would be an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. MarketWatch: … ‘We are in a crisis, the worst crisis in my lifetime since the Second World War. I would describe it as a revolutionary moment when the range of possibilities is much greater than in normal times. What is inconceivable in normal times becomes not only possible but actually happens. People are disoriented and scared. They do things that are bad for them and for the world.’ “Even in the United States, a confidence trickster like Trump can be elected president and undermine democracy from within,” he said. “But in the U.S. you have a great tradition of checks and balances and established rules. And above all you have the Constitution. So I am confident that Trump will turn out to be a transitory phenomenon, hopefully ending in November.” Until then, however, Soros warned that Trump “remains very dangerous,” because “he’s fighting for his life and he will do anything to stay in power.” He added that Trump will be held accountable for his violations of the Constitution if he loses the presidency. ...
