Bonus points for the Parenti reference. Solid gold, that man.
Did you roll your eyes as hard as I did when the latest Facebook feeding private (lol) Messenger conversations to the Feds came out? This stuff has been going on since the 90s and people are somehow surprised every time. Me, I just assume they're listening, and proceed from there.
It is the fact that they always listen that allows them to make a judgement about your threat level. If the listening results in a calculated threat level then they will come visiting.
That's part of it. I suspect they also use it to keep a finger on the collective pulse, which then gives them an idea of just how far they can push things.
Guerilla tactics have been successful since time began. Everyone innately understands and routinely practices subterfuge, but organizing it requires a new layer.
Deceit is considered bad. But it's good if it serves a noble purpose. We must learn the difference.
Let's be fair, though: if generally people believe the government doesn't lie, because that would be illegal and the government doesn't do illegal things, (or whatever reason, that's just the one I hear a lot) then there is value in showing people how often the government lies. Since we have to take collective action to improve government it is important that we collectively have a good understanding of how it works and how it behaves. Simply saying "Well, yea, of course they lie" feels nice, but it doesn't really help other people understand things. When a student tells me "Holy crap, the price of this concert ticket doubled after the announcement that the concert sold out!" I shouldn't say "No shit... what the hell do you think we have been talking about in class all week?" It is probably better to point out that they are correct, and demonstrate that their observation can lead to insights into other phenomena.
That's a good point. Making a big fuss is often not the way, but rather showing the issue and talking about it. Probably one has to have some rapport with your interlocutor to work from, or else no amount of stoicism will do any good. If they don't trust that things you thing are worth talking about are worth listening too, well you can't get anywhere.
The philosopher in me wants to object that this goes against the principle of parsimony. The objection would say that the most likely conspiracy theory is the one that allows us to keep the most of our old beliefs, which are reliable because they are tuned to the way the world is. But then I think the post has a response: what if our beliefs are so warped and corrupted from decades of official lies and degeneracy and propaganda that you would be better off starting from scratch? So this is sort of like Descartes concluding that his beliefs were unsalvageable and he needed to start from scratch. Except via conspiracy theory. Cool.
if I was managing a moonshot, and I knew from photographic surveys, some of the strange things, that exist up there, I would hire Stanley Kubrick, to make realistic footage, that I could use to prevent my adversaries from knowing the truth, of their own true history. So the moonshots are a both and situation. Yes the moon has been thoroughly explored, at least. Yes Kubrick made the films. His motivation was a promise from the powers that be that they would leave him alone to make his movies without interference. I think he made the right move. The powers that be became interested in him because of Dr. Strangelove. They were astonished how accurate the B-52 cockpit was. They were alarmed about how accurate his airplane sequences were.
Precision is less important than accuracy. Computers that produce 10 decimal points of precision for inaccurate results frequently mislead naive managers. Slide rules require the engineer to understand the complex mathematics that calculators hide.
Looks interesting but the author seems to misunderstand engineering. Sometimes precision is required, usually not. The engineer's job is to fulfill the requirements correctly at the lowest cost. Precision is expensive.
I firmly believe that certain easily debunkable conspiracy theories are state-sponsored psyops with the aim of confusing, dividing and discrediting any and all dissenting voices. I recognise their propaganda tactics (shaming, out-of-context presentations n isolation, etc).
People aren't buying the exaggerated epidemic narrative? Why not associate them with the easily debunkable flat earth nonsense (see space busters, for example). Blatant state propaganda assets.
The government appears to create fake conspiracies in order to discredit real ones. Flat earth always seemed to me a weapon against those that seek to look beyond official narratives.
We'll have him in that Darkened Government Control Room staffed by unbelievably good-looking women wearing tanktops. One will have a satellite visual feed on her monitor, already at maximum resolution, on which he will point to a blurry figure and order her to "Enhance".
Yes, yes. And in the next scene, a heavily backlit John Lithgow can appear on his cellphone teleconferencing app and say, "This goes much deeper than you think."
Then one of the black tank-top supermodel/physicists can "go rogue" and karate their way out of there., scored by a pulsating Daft Punk track. I think the guy who mows my lawn knows their email addy.
If the Americans had faked the Moon landings, the Soviets would STILL be hooting and jeering about it!
As for "No Virus", I don't believe that. What I DO believe is that "virus" is over-used as a cause for things that our "learned men" don't really understand. "Here, we can fix that with a shot...roll up your sleeve". Ummm...NO Go back and re-do your research. I'll actually respect you more if you come back with "I don't know" than with some BS "It must be a virus".
Peter Duisburg opined that whenever there's an outbreak of illness, infectious disease trumps toxicology as a causal factor. Infection is sexier so the medicos tend to gravitate towards it. Bias is often how we get avoidable errors.
The real 9/11 conspiracy is hiding in plain sight. A few rogue Saudis were behind it, and Bush, the national security state, and the media covered for them to protect the royal family and our access to their oil.
If the point was to drag us into a war with Iraq, don’t you think the deep state would manufacture evidence linking it to Sadaam, rather than tell us openly that 15 of the 19 hijackers we’re Saudis before quickly changing the subject?
Speculating on conspiracy theories accomplishes the goal of the entire existent of conspiracy theories. They are myths designed specifically to detract from the focus on reality, to distract from the simple truth that our nation is run by intelligence services, it compliments the fact that everything the American public believes of relevance is a lie. Funny how so many of these are late stage modern myths conjugated from nothing by people who have a professional interest in stoking lies and misconception. The Flat Earth nonsense is a perfect example of a lie created as a distraction from reality, it is a pysop that has been very effective but of course that is also a conspiracy theory.
Bitcoin mining is actually using machines an ancient Vedic ritual.
The Vedic ritual consists of two tones: an ostinato pulse, and ascending high pitch. The ostinato pulse is meant to be a series of “Ohm” chants representing the fundamental sound of the universe, the laws of physics faithfully executing, over and over, a cycle.
The ascending high pitch represents the increasing complexity of the universe over time.
As such, the purpose of the ritual is to both celebrate the universe’s increasing tendency of coming alive and encourage more of that sort of thing.
The ostinato pulse, the low frequency cyclical drone, is bitcoin’s 10 minute block period. So low frequency that you can’t even hear it.
The increasing tone is bitcoin’s hash rate. At this point we are talking a number around 200 million trillion times per second.
So think of prayer wheels or prayer flags, powered by billions of dollars worth of power over then world. People think this is new, but no, this stuff is as ancient as the monks chanting deep under the earth to power the laws of physics. There’s nothing new about bitcoin. It’s older than time itself, literally. That’s why it fits together so perfectly.
One of the common experiences on hallucinogens is the feeing of being “at one with the Universe.” No more us v. Them. I think it was Alan Watts who described our Un stoned view of ourselves as bags of protoplasm in a hostile Universe.
The viruses and the exosomes — what is the difference? One of the most striking quickly-censored Covid-era videos circa 2020 was a researcher showing us electron microscopy photos of exosomes and the supposed Covid virus — and they looked the same!
Some estimate we have as many bacteria as cells in our body, and we have at least 10X as many viruses. They are part of us, not separate from us.
Anyway, this is a small elaboration of what you write, which is thought provoking and entertaining. And I do love your artwork.
As a kid, I remember loving the cover art of albums and especially of science fiction books. I checked out many “John Carter” novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs from the library, based upon their covers (but never read any of them, finding them horrifically written.) It was the science fiction art, the rockets and weird worlds and mostly naked women, that excited me and still does today.
My favorite is the symbiotic viruses conspiracy. In fact, I would be surprised if there wasn't at least some truth to it. Very nice. I also appreciate the need for an alternative vision to the WEF. I feel like I can see it, but not nearly as clearly as the neoserfdom the Davos crowd lusts for
I recall a Sci-fi novel set in a dystopian Europe, set 2030-ish, with mercs & skullduggery. A memorable quote "we serbed the village". But the kicker was "infectious memes", as in mass radical transformation of belief systems, political support etc, via a wetware virus. Given the sales of Catch-22 novels (cinematic bonmot) we all realise that The Human Psyche has been cracked, scrambled then poached (sic). Iyamanopenbook.
& THAT was the plot; how good is my Interface Security? Coz next minute you & your mission have just flipped. That's the milspec guys. Civs are xxx (data) dumps (porn malmot🤫). & re my Catch 22 reference- refer to toilet roll frenzy as test pattern...
I haven't read enough of your work to know if you have included anything about the lack of imagination in the NWO 3 stooges virtual ' visions' of tech enhanced humans? I see these players using historical authors like Huxley and Orwell in their tyrants handbook but I find no mention of Issac Asimov's foundation series. Is this possibly because the annoymous mathematical prediction library in the books could not account for the anomaly of ' The Mule ' because the mixture of flesh and tech was not predictable?
Personally I think the stooges vision has this major flaw and one other; that I do not believe the flesh can be separated from the soul for very long before becoming meat. Just because we cannot measure or test or record a soul yet using the scientific method, does that mean it it only exists as a mental construct? ESP in rabbit testing was observable but not provable as to the WHY of any of it. This leads me to my next question. Does science ever really explain WHY something is or does? Observations of repeatable events only prove themselves given the boundaries of the testing. Observations answer some Of the WHAT questions but 'WHAT is' is not 'WHY is'. Logic based around justifying a limited set of conditions and conclusions seems to me a pointless exercise. But I am biased because I don't like what untested scientific hubris has done to this planet. Science fiction can definitely predict horrible futures badly. If scientists had a real look at nature they would be humbled, and would see that they know virtually nothing about the world or themselves. This excitability about star trekking across new frontiers while trampling over nature whilst attempting to imitate it, is so
unimaginative and quite frankly sad on all counts. Sorry to get carried away...but what good has science done since shit removal and hand washing? Compared to what it has destroyed....

All users agree to it in terms of service. I'd suggest they read it, but most wouldn't understand it.
I assume they would be listening if they thought I was a threat but I'm too small and insignificant for them to bother with.
It is the fact that they always listen that allows them to make a judgement about your threat level. If the listening results in a calculated threat level then they will come visiting.
That's part of it. I suspect they also use it to keep a finger on the collective pulse, which then gives them an idea of just how far they can push things.

And the same crowd that wanted to "defund the police" are hiring 87,000 more cops, now that they're in charge.
So far I have not seen anyone point out that 87,000 new IRS goons, is ~25% larger than the US troop commitment on D-Day.

Now this is an interesting take.
Want your hair to stand up? Read the astronaut transcripts; the excerpts from transmissions, where the guys were gobsmacked by what they saw.
Maybe it’s a bit scary for some to face the fact that in 1969 the USA sent men to the moon and brought them safely back.
That was back when results mattered more than equity.
.. and did so using 'slide-rule' calculators to achieve precise outcomes of complex mathematics that they 'learned' in schools that 'taught' it.
Precision is less important than accuracy. Computers that produce 10 decimal points of precision for inaccurate results frequently mislead naive managers. Slide rules require the engineer to understand the complex mathematics that calculators hide.
Exactly. Analogue has underappreciated strengths. It sharpens the mind in ways digital cannot.
Just read this- highly rec'd!

Okay, JC, you can go on break right now to write the screenplay for the Giza Antarctica Luna pilot.
I want it on my desk in 30 days.
June Lockhart and Mark Goddard are already on board, pretty sure I can sign Billy Mumy and Angela Cartwright.
It's mildly surprising that movie hasn't already been made.
Can we add a B plot that involves a bewildered John Cusack searching for his estranged daughter? My life coach plays golf with his agent's assistant.
Done.
We'll have him in that Darkened Government Control Room staffed by unbelievably good-looking women wearing tanktops. One will have a satellite visual feed on her monitor, already at maximum resolution, on which he will point to a blurry figure and order her to "Enhance".

BTW I've always wanted to visit Pellucidar.
The idea that Ivan would have let Uncle Scam get away with a hoax of that magnitude is one of the largest plot holes in the narrative.
who benefited from the arms race and the space race, was it different type of people?
The Russians didn't call out 911 being an inside job.
The real 9/11 conspiracy is hiding in plain sight. A few rogue Saudis were behind it, and Bush, the national security state, and the media covered for them to protect the royal family and our access to their oil.

Always good advice.
