Jim Bell's response: It sounds like there are MANY stories here, but at least one of them is that the FBI has apparently been ‘sitting on’ this information since December 2019. To help Biden win, we can conclude. “The Deep State” strikes again. But this story should have been released months ago. 25 years ago, I invented the Assassination Politics idea, which became the AP essay. https://cryptome.org/ap.htm Since then, I have virtually NEVER named specific people, or small groups of people who should be targets of AP. For reasons that I have considered obvious,
I would have thought "preservation of self's liberty" would have struck you clearly by now :/
I have long believed that people are usually able to decide for themselves who the real enemies are, and when the time comes, they will do so. But there is now an emergency. At that time, 1995, if you had asked me, I would have predicted that all of the first 1000 targets of AP would be government employees, mostly higher-ups. But now, Twitter and Facebook and YouTube have clearly and unambiguously declared war on at least half of humanity. And the other half are too stupid to realize why they shouldn't be celebrating. By doing this, they have irrevocably crossed a critical and seemingly uncrossable line, which as Saager says, cannot now be uncrossed.
In the sense that now they have actually done the censorship they've done, and that's a historical fact, yes they cannot uncross that line, but to many on this list, their crossing of that line was obvious years ago... On the other hand, an alternative, this time P2P, social media non-platform, may well solve this problem.
Ask me today who could the targets be, and I would ask: “How many people are in the top 3-4 layers of administration of the companies Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and quite possibly Google as well. Since they are openly declaring war on us in an ideological war, I believe we should accept THEIR decision and be forced to be openly at war with them. Yes, it’s THAT serious! At this time, THEY are the most serious threat to our society.
I agree the situation regarding freedom of speech in the public town hall, and its attack by the Valley's behemoths, is serious. I would have thought you'd learnt your own lesson on naming things in the way you name them, but what would I know... On the specific topic of AP, there is an old biblical adage that those who live by the sword, die by the sword. It's a mataphor, example, allegory, principle (some might call it karma). Perhaps living by AP is not quite the wisest move. Don't mind me, I's just a bumblin hippie wanna be...
