technology is an important tool.

Just look how electric fences changed the game for cattle farmers.

I’m not sure I understand your point and if that is the case, I apologize. Aaron Swartz was all about freedom of information, not wanting any company or group to own it but rather for society to have free access to all of it. He was literally facing many years in prison for trying to get information to the people!

Perhaps I misunderstood your post.

Hillary put the 25-year old son of one of these sisters in charge of US policy for Libya and Syria. True.

The internet was not opened to man with the intent to give us international freedom. It was intended to track, profile, program, and enslave us better than the existing methods the oldfags were using at the time.

When you dig into it, the Epstein/Maxwell thing is the cancel culture.

There's just a hierarchy of "how high they let you go" tied to "how deeply corrupted you are".

This is what makes the sea of people that think it's normally to be in a constant state of blackmail/being threatened.

What if I wouldn't do business with you unless I knew your compromising material was held "in escrow" in the same place as mine? Or think of it like this, how long must two criminals pussyfoot around with each other to determine they are "cool" before engaging in felonious activity?

Some people use secret handshakes to establish and verify this level of "trust" - maybe for everyone else, there's a video tape with your name on it and a service that handshakey-types can call to verify you're "cool" to deal with?

Seriously, if I'm a morally corrupt (probably compromised) billionaire who is being instructed to back your campaign, why would I/we/they bother to invest in and back you unless they first had some compromising "insurance" on you? You wouldn't ever get out of the gate.
