Trump identified and rode the wave of public sentiment that existed after two administrations that pumped the security state intrusions on law abiding Americans.
The wave of public sentiment is not Trump specific. Trump was a useful tool.
Trump protected those in office from the wave of rising populist demand. The dam that held it back. Ashli Babbitt is for us to hold high to demand election transparency. The cudgel we use to insist for the next four years an illegitimate administration is in office. Trump muddies that next-step campaign to transform into a Civil Rights movement.
Brand wise the target hearts and minds to capture are the moderates.
The tech cartel tries to eliminate any moderates. Through personal attacks, bullying, intimidation force all of society into two camps of extremists. Orchestrate escalating violence through that route. They're making the same 1920's assumption of street violence in Germany that forced to choose, most of society will side with the authoritarian socialists.
Aim for reasonable. Unmoving moderate views unresponsive to personal attacks and violence. That strategy casts a wider net for moderates in society that just want to be left alone and protection from the violence. Assures a larger pool than extremists will ever get.
A holy martyr is a sympathetic figure. Attacking that brand to imagery around firearms plays into what authoritarian leftists are trying to create. Their flash point that favors the infrastructure they hold today. Need to erode that infrastructure and push back to suck the wind out of their sails. Slow. Methodical.
Buy a raspberry pi. Break it. Code enough to tinker and reverse engineer a bit, and coddle together convoluted crap that achieves a desired result. Learn enough to tinker on devices and disable the phone home crap.
We've entered the cyberpunk future.
Demand for after-market modifications has never been greater.
It's your job to turn Ashli Babbitt into a holy martyr to rally around.
She's become dangerous as a symbol to rally around for transparent elections. The media knows this. They're in the business of weaving narrative and know what they can do if only they got their own such symbol to work with. Thus, they know they have to destroy her character to prevent use. The internet is already producing memes and flags to incubate a holy martyr figure out of her.
Ignore it. Use the symbol. It's a useful tool. You see leftists do this all day. Caught dead to rights. "No I didn't. Racist." They craft pseudorealities and hammer that unflinching from hypocrisies that creates. An activist-industrial complex exists today that have developed method of storytelling to achieve a result. We're at war. The war is based on who can most effectively tell stories that guide wider public behavior to the desired outcome, in this case the leftists are engaged an in anti-cultural revolution against populism looking for permanence of power for the most powerful as it stands today.
You need to play too. Because a strategy works for your opponent does not mean it will work for you. Example being if your opponent is standing at the top of the hill throwing stones down at you, also picking up those stones and throwing it down hill too misses the target. Need to craft your strategy to your strengths and their weaknesses. The strength here is that the show of Clown World from their mission driven storytelling turns into purity tests and spins people off for its insanity. As a system, over time those who snap out and can see the false realities grows over time. Job is to provide a soft landing for those thrown out on their ass. This is where Win crowd did a great job. By laughing and having a good time, rejecting uptight PC, offering anyone who comes a beer and to join in, this is a good recruiting system that grows. "To what purpose" to use that growth?
Slap a standard of the holy martyr in front of that body. Take away the sting of being canceled with a network of anti-fragile people and businesses who demand professionalism in the office (no activism crap) and refuse response to cancel culture. Saw the suggestion from the lgbt community that a full blown Civil Rights movement is needed. Commitment to peaceful rallies. Unrelenting in the face of beatings and legal persecution. Eat your arrest and keep coming. There's far more of us than the small group of psychopaths wielding the whip on the left. The majority of clown world leftists are cowering to avoid being hit with the whip. Stand and eat the whip and they realize, well shit there's a lot of room to call this out. The small number of people with a whip are too busy with those taking the hits. All at once can push the Cathedral out the apple cart.
As Michael Malice observes, this is the Cathedral's last stand. They're whipping as hard as they can. Threatening to burn down all your savings in this divorce, kill the children and the dog. Call the bluff. Get it done.
No violence. This is 4G information war. They'll send agitators to events to try and create more Charlottesville. Have to turn that footage into good people getting pummeled over and over. Cuts through the slander and shows the tyranny that turned inward. The activist-industrial complex is pouring calls for violence into the corners we organize, push back on that. Civil Rights movement.
We need to elect somebody that ALL people can agree with.
This is what it looks like when somebody that ALL people can agree with gets in.
Had Bernie won office, he would be steamrolled just the same. Identical playbook. Slander. Unhinged propaganda. Constant lawsuits and harassment.
I came through from the walk away crowd. After watching the internet hate machine of blue checkmarks slander and rail against Bernie for sexism, Russia ties, homophobia, he was cowed and pushed aside in 2015. Without missing a beat, that hate machine turned its attention to Trump. I saw the same personal attacks. Russia! I couldn't believe they were lazy enough to use the same Russia attacks on Trump. Then it got so much worse. They took the same transparent personal attacks, and took them so far beyond what I thought possible.
This is it. You elect the second coming of Christ, they're going to be treated like Trump and half the country will hate them by the end of it.
Hopefully this experience has been educational. Transformed forever a larger block of the population just as the Bush/Cheney > Obama cycle transformed popular awareness as to the complete lack of difference between parties in terms of security state. As the population becomes more resilient to lies, eventually we may start noticing that when the right people slander a person they must be a good guy.
There was comment that 4chan has trolled Lin Wood by sending increasingly unhinged intel drops. This was a joke. Made me laugh, comes off plausible.
Putting best possible interpretation on it, it's possible wherever these intel drips originated from it was good information. Maybe bad actors got involved. Foreign intel and started offering their own intel drips and poisoned the well. Maybe our own intel played 'Moby friends' and fed a bunch of crap to shape a preferential outcome. Maybe teams in the tech cartel have their internal tools built out military grade information tools and ran their own op.
All sorts of ways that could go down but it's a facepalm territory when unverifiable protonmail screenshots wind up in the mix of info he put out.
My pet theory was he was trying to bait dominion to sue him, potentially opening up discovery. His expertise being libel cases, I presumed maybe he's set up a minefield and stood there blustering and taunting away baiting someone to walk on out and play. By this point I think my theory has evaporated.
Was a good comment from the lgbt community suggesting this has to be treated as a civil rights movement. Massive, sustained, peaceful demonstration. Take those lumps. Suck it up. Keep moving forward on offense.
Defense does not provide for a win condition. At best you have perfect invulnerability survive another day. Maybe.
Offense is required to win battles. This is 4G information warfare on a massive scale. Have to familiarize and build networks using the right tactics for the fight at hand. Approaches to traditional warfare getting cut off rapidly. Need to build up networks to become anti-fragile supporting one another, build out that personal sovereignty, need cash. Ultimately need to find that next genius to challenge the current system and align networks to push them into destabilizing the current order of things. The world is in chaos. There's change occurring everywhere and that means opportunities for disruption. There's no fast easy fix out of this, requires slow painful growth to build out of it. Consider Gab's continued grind. Spiritually, that's the path.
Silk Road and Ross Ulbricht was taken down as a result of Tor getting nuked. In months preceding there was an absurdly large influx of new nodes on the network. Tech publication speculated maybe an attack on Tor had occurred exploring theoretical ways to do it. During Ross Ulbricht's prosecution it was revealed that the FBI paid a university to develop a way to crack Tor. Womp womp. Was pretty significant controversy resulting from university involvement in cracking an encrypted system in partnership with the FBI. Apparently there's ethical lines involved there.
And then the internet and Tor went on as if nothing had happened.
It's just like all the times Facebook screwed over their users through three-card-monte with the Terms & Service to expose massive amounts of data to sharing that had previously been set specifically to private. After the bloodbath, the public herd continues grazing as if a predator hadn't just ripped some of them to shreds right on the prairie.
Ulbrght case was the end of the warrant canary, in case anyone paid attention to these things. Tor's been compromised since then.
The internet has never been filled with so much false information.
The chans autist meme was due to crowdsource ability of distributed professionals able to sniff things out more rapidly than any paid team, because they were doing it for fun on their own time for lulz. The moneyed interests solved that.
For whatever reason the internet has spammed with false rabbit holes that waste time and lead no where. Often provides opportunity to slander people on the right trail as conspiracy wingnuts. You've got to watch and pick your shots carefully now, track the rabbit and visibly see it go into the hole and unload all your ammo on that one.
Twitter, the platform the transformed itself to host, fund, and help organize defund the police rallies for the last six months, now wants police support? These are the 0.01% highest paid most privileged people in the country. Shit. Don't deny them the ideal experience they've clamored for.
Good time to point out that linux phone options are available now. They've iterated on ubuntu's earlier linux phone attempt. They're basically a linux OS running on your phone. If you ever picked up a smart phone and wondered where the hell the file system and wanted that control to quickly add your own tools on the thing, it's a great option to break away from the 'free but spyware' model.
Branding can be improved. Elon's project should just brand as the internet. A place where people can build. Because it's the internet.
Tech cartelization resulted in a form of New-AOL / Cable Television merger. They're trying to force their gated content creation community similar to what cable war before everyone cut it. The tech cartel are extremists trying to brand anyone not along for their batshit insane ride as horrible people. Go after that brand. Offense.
'Freedom Internet' capitulates ground without a fight that there's different types of people. The internet is for everyone. The tech cartel broke it with extremist crap, they've been allowed too much leniency to slander anyone that breaks with their cesspool.
You may recall this was what the online pulse felt like just before Charlottesville. Hence numerous groups that disavowed and strongly recommended skipping that one.
In this case, despite the smell of agitprop it was necessary to attend.
Chipped away slowly is the only outcome of defense. To win battles requires offense. Jan 6 was an event that there had to be a visible show of heads. Mom and pop protesting for fair election free from incident. It's possible there's such well funded activist-industrial complex today that large groups gathered for protest may no longer be possible, due to how easily a small number of agitators backed by media can spoil the day. I don't know the answer there besides continue to build infrastructure behind the scenes to forcefully push another narrative. Need the legal and money backing. Build networks and look for new useful alignments, while looking to circlejerk and disrupt the network alignments in the activist-industrial complex. We're in 5G info war. Network alignments are everything.
Leading up to Jan 6 disinfo agents hammered the site to agitate armed conflict, circlejerk to disrupt effective planning, encourage people bring firearms into DC. The entire activist-industrial complex and their media backers seemed to be here pouring gasoline to try and create a media spectacle that could be useful to abuse those demanding a fair election.
Their operation is over. The footage captured is in the hands of their media people to squeeze as much political gain as they can from it. Now we see the natural pulse of the people here shining through again.
Notice the patterns. What it feels like when the wind suddenly changes direction, unnaturally, in a forum. What it feels like when the digital brand management teams move on again. You don't get dramatic shifts in the type of submissions from organic activity.
If 10% of those visits donated $1.00, I'm sure their servers would appreciate it.
As you flip pages of the history book consider that everyone living the paragraph felt as you do now. Intense nuance and melodrama condensed to a few words on a page.
The tales that come out of the firefox office are amusing. Went from interested to stumble on their offices near my own to completely flipping my opinion of the company in short order. Happy to be far and away from that city now.
I am Jack's bemused smirk after all the meetings I observed, "really? we're just moving that critical and often secure function over to AWS when we've got a workable solution that can be scaled up (if more slowly)?"
Wonder if those conversations go into the cognitive dissonance or if the lightbulb clicks for anyone.
The stop the steal and walkaway networks are useful for their ability to put feet on the ground around the country when needed. Those networks were targeted to pull support out from under them this week. Rapidly providing replacement services to stabilize those networks provides a quick foundation useful for the next four years.
Eternal September always comes.
Early adopters set up culture norms and content in communities as hobby space, tame the uninhabited difficult to reach spaces. Individuals pivot most rapidly.
Corporations come next seeing the cool things built in that wilderness, they market to the normies and get paid to carve roads out to that space where rapid growth occurs. Corporations are slower.
Governments are slowest of all. Eventually the power structures whatever may be take note of the party on the fringes of their reach. Beyond a certain threshold there is little difference between government and corporations, there is blurring at a certain size in growth where incumbent networks of power come knocking at the door and demand alignment for the business to continue to grow. Hire government employees on as board members, or padded director roles whose actual work is mostly their remaining contacts in government, the networks merge. Eventually that process turns attention to the party being had with the cool things built by early adopters. They exert their power and take control.
We've gone through all three phases with the internet at this point. Authoritarian government influences choke tighter and tighter. To the point they're now at war with the early adopters. Clearly at this point anything of value in those spaces has been overcome by Eternal September. Frankly, when Corporations pave the ease of access is the flood of Eternal September that overwhelms cultural norms of innovative and productive spaces.
The early adopters move fastest of all. When a site goes down they strap on what was good and useful of the existing space and sail back out to the stars. Into the difficult to access spaces out of reach and begin building up iterating what was learned from the prior experience. America's innovation is that it's a country built on this principal. What fails and is overrun is iterated into the next thing built up.
We're the early adopters. Simply move out to spaces more difficult to access and resets the window to organize and develop. Today we're in 5G information war space. Now is the time to learn to organize and develop those networks with redundant communication systems that cannot be dismantled. The lesson learned for next iteration is nothing out of Silicon Valley's tech cartel can be relied on, or anything where China or the Cathedral has influence.
Our elites suck. There's no love of its people as seen in Florence. No investment in the beautiful or praise of excellence. What is needed is money, a challenge to power patron to beautiful things and promotes excellence. The opportunity for disruption is ripe for providing the soft landing pad for American talent being flung off of the purity spiral hysteria of self-destructive leftists (bandits). Stop the steal was successful for building our large infrastructure that could be used to mobilize quickly across the country. The communications purge tried to eliminate those connecting nodes, but provides a useful platform going forward to further build out. Funded bail funds, network of lawyers, and form of corporate pressure needed to build up that network of next steps. There's opportunity to disrupt ad networks driving much of the insanity from the tech cartel. Ad networks are godawful in their invasive spying, demands to remove anti-malware blockers, and refusal to dodge accountability when their networks are compromised by viruses. Strict self-policing ad network that demands high standards against obnoxious, data tracking, predatory practices is needed. Brand that network as trustworthy, championing our values, provide hook that that network can be greenlit by users as a trustworthy source. The cancel culture pressure largely targets marketing space to bully and intimidate companies into compliance.
I'm bullish on America. Huge opportunity for building something unexpected. Wave of innovation around the unexpected. When inconvenience outweighs the inconvenience of building replacement services, we see a boom of human productivity race to provide new options. Have we ever had so many talented people as inconvenienced as what we see right now?
Build your way out of it.
Parler is built on AWS. They will run into the same roadblock for that reason. Amazon can crush them at any time.
Parler is subject to media hit piece one after another calling it a cesspool of hate and bigotry. That description fits Twitter, Facebook, and Google search results to far greater degree because of the scale of the tech cartel's market share. It's an empty slander tactic used to destroy competitors of the tech cartel.
Gab is subject to hit pieces and slander calling it a cesspool of hate and bigotry. The treatment is exactly the same by the media. All competitors of the tech cartel are slandered. It's a tactic to destroy those competitors. That said, Gab is not constructed on AWS. They built up on open source tools that can be forked and repurposed. They're slowly adding on to servers they control so they're not dependent on cloud service hosting, it's slower and more expensive method. That's what building our way out of this looks like. Building out way out of this is the long-term path out of this corner. For that reason, dollar-for-dollar Gab is a good investment. The tools they develop is shared broadly. They've got the right mindset for the long-term goals for space outside Cathedral control.
Why would you let the Cathedral control education of our youth? They've been allowed to destroy institutions to develop strong Western men (e.g. boy scouts). If we were to re-imagine a boy scouts for our world today it would put heavier emphasis on 5G information war strategies and tactics, aligning networks, attacking intersections between networks your opponents have aligned with, sufficient coding skills to toss up your own small social network quickly making garage servers cool again, potentially sufficient crypto to be able to set up local network currencies. Persuasion, at least sufficient to see techniques used to program normies and cut through blankets of narrative, inject your own narratives.
The third Awan brother issued statement today:
"No trouble. I've requested cloned laptop from Pakistan who already paid me for use of their cloud intel storage. Just wide the drives if you would. Giuliani's fetish for laptop videos makes me uncomfortable."
Can't wait until this individual is caught and locked away for decades for the attack they tried to pull using this rally as cover.
State Department is stuffed full of Google alumni, so.. there's that.
Beyond a size threshold the line between corporations and government blurs. Within a single corporation you can find many fiefdoms of power structures. On the larger government scale that same thing occurs. Obama alumni rotated out of power into roles in tech cartel companies. You had rotation from Google and other corporations into government jobs. The shuffling about and blending of the two and at the highest levels it's all near indistinguishable.
At the lowest rungs of this there's an event horizon of sorts. A company can grow only so far before it takes note of those government fiefdoms. Eventually they take note and those with power and influence over gates that company must pass through can shake it down, initiate stage of learning to work together, or the doors can be closed entirely and that company can no longer grow beyond that point. Raids on Juul offices immediately after they got loaded with VC capital for example was signal to the feeding trough for government fiefdoms able to get a hand on that company. Recall when Lavabit got shaken down and refused to turn over encryption keys, in one humorous take printing out some 100-page encryption key in response to court order, before ultimately shutting the company down rather than comply.
Interesting to watch. Good forces to be aware of in order to frame your understanding of the world and interactions between business and government. Darren Beatty is a good follow for expertise in exploring that boundary.
