The Fed's DCoin - dissertation - diddling $$ "facts" - more "not"QE helicopter money mo/mo than 2008 - [MONEY]
by Zenaan Harkness 05 Nov '19

05 Nov '19

So the Fed's helicopter money (for now for "banks only" still) QE program is in top gear already, with endless headlines about "not QE" and "everything's fantastic, just a little insurance money printing". But of course, between the lines, the fact is that in comparison to QE-1, QE-2 and QE-3, this QE-"officially not QE", aka QE-4 aka QE-infinity, is now pumping out MORE "not QE, just insurance" dollars than at the very peak of the post-2008 global financial crisis QE money printing exercises, on a month for month comparison basis. We're "not doing QE, please believe" and yet the money printing, just a couple weeks after "NOT QE!" started, is already above previous all time highs. "Not QE"? Now -that's- hysterical muh grits :D More like "this is QE infinity helicopter money, we might have to do QE for the people soon too (MMT, people's QE, "a living wage for all", UBI, universal basic income, etc), as this is the last dying gasp of the present methematically intended chaos so grab it while it's hot, mkay?" :D Literally if any of us did such money printing, this would be called counterfeiting. But this is the inglorious "Federal Reserve Bank" which, for those who got the memo, is neither federal, nor a reserve, bank. The Fed' is a private bank. Further, the Fed' and its "federal" minions, are beholden to the BIS, the Banco de Internationale Settlemente, or in English, the Bank of International Settlements, which, of course, is another private bank! HA! I know, I know, "if only I'd thought of that" you're thinking :) The BIS, le banc de White Knight, the ultimate granter of SDRs (special drawing rights aka "print to yer heart's content" money printer-feiting), the last hope of the mega oligarchs and Goldman global hedge trimming money sachs, diligently developing a new global digital coin: "why thank you my dear cypherpunks, you have certainly been generous to provide a genuinely global coin minting tech - we are most pleased, now, kindly, do fuck off and pay your taxes!".

But for those who don’t have their head in the sand, clinging desperately to the “hope” offered by the misdirecting Orwellian propaganda, it’s difficult to ignore the message signaled by the legendary levels of insider selling. Someone is not telling the truth – The Fed once again last week increased the size of both the overnight and “term” repo operations. Starting Thursday (Oct 24th) the overnight repos were increased from $75 billion to “at least” $120 billion and the term repos (2 week term) of “at least” $35 billion were extended to the end of November, with two “at least $45 billion” term repos thrown in for good measure. The Fed is also outright printing helicopter money for the banks at a rate of $60 billion per month (via “T-bill POMOs”). At the height of the last QE/money printing cycle, the Fed was doing $75 billion per month. So whatever the problem is behind the curtain, it’s already as large or larger than the 2008 crisis.. ...

Call for ideas: How do we deal with the forged Cypherpunks email archive?
by jim bell 05 Nov '19

05 Nov '19

The response (or, perhaps in many cases, the lack of it) on this list to the discovery of the amazing fraud of the forgery of (at least) the 1995 version of the Cypherpunks archive has been, well, amazing. I get the impression that there has been a certain...lack of enthusiasm for this task. At least, not nearly enough useful commentary. No, I don't necessarily expect that the forgers are still here, but maybe their ideological and political 'allies' remain. Put simply, maybe 'statists' didn't and don't like AP, and they want to do anything possible to delay or defeat it. And, they know or guess that some of their ilk were presumably acting in 1995, engaging in discussings that the government (?) eventually wanted to conceal. They did not want to leave a not-so-paper trail. Their ideological brethren on CP, today, if any, want to continue to conceal and protect those 1995, and the data forgery that subsequently happened. Take this with the levity I intend. I ask that each of you provide suggestions as to what to try. But I don't want to give you an easy out by saying that if you cannot think of anything you, personally, can accomplish, you are excused. If you have a good idea, and you throw it out to us, somebody else might like it, add to it, and maybe even accomplish it. Think of this as brainstorming, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainstorming . At the same time, some of you might be reticent: Eventually, I believe we will identify those responsible for misconduct on the list in 1995, but also those people who forged and faked the archives. I want to expose the people who, now, are in league with them. Think of this as a Rorschach test. You will likely be judged, by others, based on the credibility of the proposals you make. I have already identified the problem, and made a number of suggestions. I'd say it's YOUR turn. >From the article on brainstorming: "Osborn's method: Osborn claimed that two principles contribute to "ideative efficacy," these being: - Defer judgment, - Reach for quantity. [6] Following these two principles were his four general rules of brainstorming, established with intention to : - reduce social inhibitions among group members. - stimulate idea generation. - increase overall creativity of the group. - Go for quantity: This rule is a mean of enhancing divergent production, aiming at facilitation of problem solution through the maxim quantity breeds quality. The assumption is that the greater the number of ideas generated the bigger the chance of producing a radical and effective solution. - Withhold criticism: In brainstorming, criticism of ideas generated should be put 'on hold'. Instead, participants should focus on extending or adding to ideas, reserving criticism for a later 'critical stage' of the process. By suspending judgment, participants will feel free to generate unusual ideas. - Welcome wild ideas: To get a good long list of suggestions, wild ideas are encouraged. They can be generated by looking from new perspectives and suspending assumptions. These new ways of thinking might give you better solutions. - Combine and improve ideas:As suggested by the slogan "1+1=3". It is believed to stimulate the building of ideas by a process of association.

There is one particularly notable nation which "has NEVER ONCE, in its entire history, fought along side American troops, in any major conflict.

And to highlight the comparison, chad-monger DSBBS stormer bro "anon" high lites up the rite royal right for ya, punk! : "This cliche is up there with “this zioshill fought for your freedumbs by slaughtering a million Iraqi civilians, over the WMD hoax.” Israel has NEVER ONCE in its entire history fought along side American troops in any major conflict. Not in Korea, not in Vietnam, not in Iraq, not in Afghanistan. You know who did fight alongside us in those wars, and in both world wars? Australia. Australia is our greatest ally.

Along with backing us up in every war, Australia has never gotten caught spying on us, they’ve never attacked our ships, and they’ve never sent Australian dual citizens to take over our foreign policy and send us to fight wars against New Zealand or Indonesia. I would also feel much more comfortable sending billions of dollars to Australia, if we’re going to send billions of dollars to someone. At least they might use it for something good, or at the very least, not use it to harm America and Europe. Plus, Australia has given us some of the greatest culture.

Sim Theory

So many people have proposed we're simulated... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis Now why would such an extremely advanced civilization / collective want to simulate us? Is this an unanswered question? Certainly they have long since - solved biology, live forever, down/up load their brains against trauma - solved life and mobility throughout their universe - lost and forgotten their prehistory - etc They could sim anything they want. So why sim us? Because something happened to them, something very big, something serious and existentially threatening. And now they're *desperately* trying to learn about death, life, humanity, the individual... something they lost but is still encoded in them just enough to let them think of making the sim...

Quantum Computers
by jim bell 05 Nov '19

05 Nov '19

https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-09-06/quantum-computers-are-co… [partial quote] Quantum mechanics, Carl Sagan once observed, is so strange that "common sense is almost useless in approaching it." Scientists still don't understand exactly why matter behaves as it does at the quantum level. Yet they're getting better at exploiting its peculiar dynamics -- in ways that may soon upend the technology business. One of the most interesting applications is in computing. In theory, quantum computers could take advantage of odd subatomic interactions to solve certain problems far faster than a conventional machine could. Although a full-scale quantum computer is still years off, scientists have lately made a lot of progress on thematerials, designs and methods needed to make one. And that could have some striking benefits. Quantum computers could simulate how atoms and molecules behave, to the greatadvantage of chemists and drug designers. They could solveoptimization problems -- say, how to efficiently route airplane traffic -- far faster than current technology can. They could speed advances in artificial intelligence, improve sensors, and lead to the design of stronger and lighter industrial materials.[end of partial quote] Jim Bell

women’s desire “is not relational [but] narcissistic” - the phenomenal popularity of the "rape fantasy" - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 05 Nov '19

05 Nov '19

So E. Jean "most people think of rape as being sexy" Carroll is back on the 16 minutes of fame trail after her "Trump raped me" book bombed: 'Rape Is Sexy' Trump Accuser Sues President For Defamation https://www.zerohedge.com/political/rape-sexy-trump-accuser-sues-president-… ... is now suing Trump for defamation ... I guess since the book did not make any money ... But the deeper qwestion here is why women are overwhelmingly tittilated with the "soft rape" fantasy, and the tl;dr appears to be "narcissism": Don’t Call Them “Rape Fantasies” Women: Ever had exciting fantasies of being sexually “devoured” by a stranger? https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/evolution-the-self/201411/don-t-cal… Study after study has revealed that one of women’s most popular erotic fantasies is being raped. Yet the fundamental dynamics of such fantasies has almost nothing to do with such a heinous act—which isn’t simply aggressive, but coercive, violent, and at times even life-threatening. After all, a woman feeling scared out of her mind is hardly conducive to sexual arousal. Additionally, women are frequently embarrassed, or ashamed, about the fact that such lascivious imaginings can actually turn them on. So what exactly is going on here? Why is it so exciting for many women to fantasize themselves as the recipient of a male’s unbridled, out-of-control lust? This post will attempt to clarify a topic as intriguing as it’s controversial. (Not to mention, absolutely mortifying to feminists!) Many of my ideas here relate to the findings of two contemporary female sexologists, as interviewed in a recent New York Times article (09/24/14) called “What Do Women Want?—Discovering What Ignites Female Desire” by Daniel Bergner. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/25/magazine/25desire-t.html?pagewanted=all&_… Not cited in this piece is a famous quote from the conversationally gifted Madame de Staël (1766-1817), whose prescient words on the subject I regard as seminal. “The desire of the man,” she opined, “is for the woman, but the desire of the woman is for the desire of the man.” Without being overly simplistic or reductive, I think this timeless reflection goes to the heart of why women’s imagining what’s best appreciated as a “safe rape” [talk about oxymorons!] is so common a theme in their fantasies. And it’s no less common in literally thousands of romance novels, composed especially to titillate an almost mind-bogglingly large female audience. Bergner, interviewing Marta Meana, a psychology professor at UNLV, quotes this researcher (who, by the way, explicitly deems herself a feminist) as regretfully being obliged to admit that for women “being desired is the orgasm.” Further—and in stark contrast to virtually everything that’s been written about the close tie between female sexual interest and emotional intimacy—Meana asserts that women’s desire “is not relational [but] narcissistic.” It’s mostly about externally validating, or strengthening, feelings of self-love through experiencing her physical being as the coveted object of both a man’s sexual needs and adulation. And here Meana cites the research showing that in comparison with men, women’s fantasies attend less to giving pleasure than getting it, concluding that when it comes to desire, “women may be far less relational than men.” ...
