// this perhaps relates to the concept of Denial of Disservice in some way... previously i had planned to explore illuminated juggling and eventually move into a signaling context with it, via display of various LED colored balls and clubs in terms of patterns and their structuring, as a way of communicating. then i was under seige and my health, already poor, completely collapsed do i could no longer juggle and the equipment started to malfunction immediately and eventually totally failed.\ part of the idea involved being a targeted individual in the surveillance state, where there is no privacy and no boundaries are observed. therefore, already under active and ubiquitous surveillance, i decided to make the surveillance my audience... juggling for surveillance cameras https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ny4f88s5mrjg7mq/_WqAAxTBQM in a sense this is like probing the network, because it provides a chain-of-feedback that can be accounted for in its effects. again, reversing the panopticon and watching the watchers, via requiring unknown patterns to be mapped, analyzed, deliberated upon, and perhaps cause various subsequent actions to occur in response, whether retaliatory or otherwise. the input of signal causing other signaling to occur, within certain parameters and dimensions, beyond the threshold of my observation though not of others. i thought this was a great idea and others should do similar activities, though was immediately incapacitated and the project was forced into collapse via still ongoing harassment, the front line of a hostile and oppressive political agenda that is unaccounted for in 'official media' and beyond government checks and balances, because the U.S. is a failed dictatorial state. obviously this is not a new idea, and there have been many people involved in such activity... the Surveillance Camera Players http://www.notbored.org/the-scp.html my goal though was signaling with LED juggling clubs, perhaps messaging or seeking connection with those behind the watchful eyes, offering a viewpoint or event for interpretation, providing something to see that is an anomaly or out of the ordinary - perhaps what they are looking for, only in different terms or relations. this is not to mock the real purpose of a security infrastructure in times of extreme threat, necessarily, though it is to question it in the existing parameters and under the existing model of malgovernment, where one group is watching another, as this aligns with political corruption and enemies lists. so what if hundreds of jugglers across the country found various surveillance cameras and began to juggle for those observers of the citizenry, though not to obstruct the view and seek to cause insecurity, and instead to provide a temporary filling of its framework, content, especially in a realm of public space that has become by default *privatized* by this ever-watchful eye and its ideology that evaluates everything in potentially skewed, self-serving exploitative terms -- that everything and everyone could be categorized as a *threat* in the given modeling so what if suddenly surveillance monitors were suddenly to become occupied or filled with content, as if a television station tuning into programming, and in various locations at various times, day and night, jugglers or mimes or actors and actresses in plays could appear, and perform for the cameras, whether short skits or various dramas or vignettes or sketches or routines. this could extend in the mythological as well-- a troupe of black clad stagehands could move an inflatable Loch Ness Monster across the field of view of the surveillance cameras, as if they are invisible on the darkened stage to the audience a short distance away, while the symbolic foreground character reads against the background monotony of same recorded landscape, over and over and over, as night turns to day and day turns into night, again and again. what then if in another location or at another camera, a Sasquatch walks by, or suddenly Yetis appear all over, in all states around the world, along with the odd stray Gorilla suit and perhaps a Wooly Mammoth or Mr. Snuffleupagus. how would such events be interpreted- are these acts of terrorism? what psychological effect may it have on both the observed and observers, or that the observers are themselves being indirectly and directly observed by those they themselves cannot see, and so likewise are in the loop as under suspicion, though by another belief system providing checks and balances and questions this boundaries-crossing activity on the assumption it is inherently good and should be trusted while beyond accounting for its truth, in terms of what data is collected, how is it analyzed, how does this relate to political blacklisting and political attacks against citizens, and so on the problem with activist approaches is that it can become about itself, about the juggler and not what is juggled. it is not about language per se, it is about where it grounds, in what truth and reality, how this is shared and unshared based on how it is interpreted, in what frameworks and dimensions. it is not about an ungrounded in-your-face declaration of perspective that is onesided and skewed to a different partial framework. it is about a common framework for those inside and outside the different boundaries of the surveillance infrastructure - providing a circuit or connection deep within the system that can communicate or provide context or dynamics otherwise absent, enabling review of questioning of existing practices, and demanding oversight, yet not in the form of carrying a sign: citizens demand oversight! (in a worst-case scenario protest can be about ungrounded signage or false displays that further legitimize the practices supposedly opposed, thus functions as an illusion or mirage that is a check-and-balance for allowing things the way they are to be further extended via that 'public oversight' and this can be covertly engineered, allowing a viewpoint to be signed-off on while ungrounded, co-opting secondary relativism into the relativistic fold of pT) in a sense it is to razzle-dazzle the statistical modeling that everything is a threat that appears as an anomaly before the surveillance cameras. this is also to consider a conscientious approach to not obstruct legitimate public safety concerns, do not block a traffic camera for instance, or other such tactics in this context of communication and signaling of extra-dimensional information or content for the surveillers. and so what if "All the world's a stage" is recontextualized in terms of ubiquitous surveillance in this way. 1,000 ballet dancers around the world in front of cameras. 1,000 gorillas. 100,000 Yetis. 100,000 jugglers. what would it mean, what might happen to people who participate, how might it effect the way data is processed and analyzed. what happens to the first wave of people to take the risk of being put on lists and politically attacked...? this is where Jim Bell's approach for Denial of Disservice may provide corollary. if enough people participate, the ability to attack everyone would be more complicated and involve more resources than are available by the given oppositional network. rules would need to be broken, short-cuts taken, which would force quick fixes or other tactics as retaliation. what is known is that likely you will be put on a list of some kind. and perhaps your life will be more pressured or something will happen that is harmful, such as 'mistakes' begin to occur or surrounding bias is suddenly unmasked and you will be discriminated against by this hidden political network. that is actually good, because it reveals what otherwise is unseen. if you can take the hit and keep on moving, that is a win, not a loss. the problem is: when everyone is wearing a mask as their form of engagement, that distance also is a protective boundary. in a civil (standoff) scenario like this, front line volunteers are needed to be a first wave and stand against the oppression. and this requires accepting the fact that you may or will get hurt in some way- this in very soft terms, most probably, unless vulnerable. so if you are demographically strong, your strength protects you against an easy takedown. also, if you have connections, like a strong family support network that provides protection, including monetary support, so that you can push back against any power-based incrimination or defaming of character via gossip or whisper campaigns, these probably inescapable though. (if you are going to wage war you need people willing to fight, people who can overcome their fear of getting hurt for the larger gains that can be made by taking on the opponent -- actions should not be limited to zones where no harm occurs, because then it is easy to rationalize doing nothing is the safest route, and that is where the power of the status quo has its edge, by defining and protecting and defending that boundary based on fear and timidity) it is not a situation where no one will get hurt, and participants will be guaranteed to get medals and A's on their report cards. something probably will happen to those who first participate, the beast will start breathing around their vicinity and things will change. and yet, if a group or individuals can go into it and survive and weather the situation, within a perfectly legal framework, no subversion or ill intent, then the law should be a protection against any such threats or illegal manipulations, given you are not entirely alone and can be setup or framed and taken down in isolation* *(what if an elderly person who lives in a nursing home participates, goes into the park and joins a sing along or a dance in front of the cameras -- will their medical mistake soon occur and they die of a wrong dosage or quickly pass due to unaccountable error? this is the reality of the political situation and how it cascades into other areas, no hyperbole. it is real, it is happening, via secret channels and connections that carry out such hidden actions) what if, for instance, someone went up with a flash light and sent a morse code signal during the night into the network as communication, or in the day time used placards as if a dylan rolling stone video, and used the surveillence stage for conveying poetry or a perspective of cultural importance. or, that as parade is planned and a community marches before the surveillance cameras as if showing off their military gear to a hidden and remote emperor. then it was realized there is more to this situation than just performance art or other activity on the stage of surveillance, instead, as pattern matching is concerned -- it has a holiday dimension to it... perhaps the most telling thing about the meekness of the present day is that there are no costumes with people as surveillance cameras -- the biggest joke of them all. that is, dressed entirely in black, and having a black hat or cap with a mock-surveillance camera or webcam attached. the more plastic and standardized the better, though perhaps homemade would need to occur first. it could signify many things simultaneously... that there is a competing human surveillance network that is surveilling the surveillers, or observing the observers who will be held accountable for their crimes. likewise, people wearing Google Glass are basically the same thing, yet a privatized surveillance network of citizens who will be monitoring other citizens every day of the year, wherever they are. it is not a costume- it is the real thing. the difference is that the all black simple yet ubiquitous holiday costume is for human interests, and of a public dimension, while this is not the case for the private version which feeds everything back into a private hidden framework where it can be and is being exploited, beyond citizen interests and accountability for how this information is collected, collated, and used against citizens as part of this larger societal oppression that is surveillance as an political ideology, as a basis for social control and engineering a ruling class based on exploiting secrets and blackmailing and blacklisting opponents Google Glass is the citizen watchdog program taken to the extreme, becoming distributed citizen monitoring of one group of citizens by another via a remotely connected, distributed surveillance infrastructure that becomes 'identity' itself- the perspective or viewpoint is firstly technological, as the social relation, and within that framework and dimensions -- it is Google-as-citizen, yet they have more rights than every other non-corporate citizen, it is thus their society and their country, we are merely living in it, temporarily, until phased out Catch Pranksters on Halloween Night with a DIY Surveillance Pumpkin http://halloween-ideas.wonderhowto.com/how-to/catch-pranksters-halloween-nig... so, why stop at Halloween when things are hilarious... why not have a national and international Surveillance Day on the calendar, perhaps removing thanksgiving in the U.S. for this and replacing it with thanks to the state... even further, why not finally remove the pretense of Presidents day and finally rename it "Eternal President Day" to ground the holiday calendar in the realism it deserves as a basis for shared awareness- or if really going for it: Crypto-Dictatorship Day Hell, maybe there could even be a Backdoors Day, or make it week, or month, or year-long or multi-year festival, as this relates to security, secrecy, privacy, and the failed and corrupt state in its sideological and standardized maldevelopment. there are likely other suggestions for potential holidays and it would be worthwhile to consider how Valentines could turn into Free Porn Day or Mother's Day into "Hate Her" day, to finally reflect the fact that women are treated equivalent to toilet paper in this failed society and destroyed civilization. what more is there to say. oh yeah-- "The Binary Crypto Regime is the bullshit" holiday! -- that is every day of the year... ☘
