ParticipantYeah I just assumed the opening ceremonies at the Olympics would be Satanic, skipped it, and figure I can fill the blanks in myself.
Just think Eurovision/London Olympics/CERN/that one tunnel opening in the alps and you’ve got it. How much satanic ritual do I need to see in one lifetime? Satanism’s so passe.
And the Satanists are a bunch of boring predictable killjoy puritans anyway. Rather go to heaven with the Babylon Bee writers than sit in boring authoritarian hell with unimaginative humorless satanists

ParticipantI find it curious how the need for a visual representation of the music leads to an image of a piano roll rather than traditional music notation…when, in actuality, music notation visually provides more information, is portable between instruments, and is designed for humans, rather than being a machine language. A piano roll is more akin to a computer’s software.
AGREED. Moreover, the machine language feeding INTO the human hands feels a bit wrong. If anything, the piano roll ought to be going the other way, feeding out from the human performance.

ParticipantPoint taken on what the site discusses. I was all-in back in, what. 2005 on Peak Oil. Prepper/Doomer, plugged into alternative news, knew the 08 financial blowout was coming well in advance, etc.
The total liquid energy production chart seemed to show a definite peak right around there, 2005. As far as national debt or underlying real economy vs markets, we’ve found we weren’t quite right there either.
Turns out peak oil wasn’t in 2005. Somehow.
And turns out markets are really just centrally planned. If the central planners who feed in or draw out liquidity decide today the market crashes, it does. If world events are such that it SHOULD crash and they decide it won’t, it won’t.
The real problem is people aren’t free to problem solve. Full spectrum at every level simultaneously, individual problem-solving is being blocked. From being free to even understand problems to discussion to trying various things. Homeowners would be hard pressed to be able to change the height of their porch railing.
On top of all the stopping-things, there’s a very VERY significant element of constant demoralization. Civilization-wide. Actively applied and reinforced, not just an organic trend.
I’m still interested in all the old stuff from 2009 TAE, but I’m concerned with THE major trend that stops us from addressing all this – and in 2009 I’d never have thought I could refer to them this way – lesser issues. How do I define it exactly? That which blocks, disorganizes, misleads, and demoralizes continually, actively? This undefinable blob of… something? Not just the bureaucratic “Blob” of Kunstler.
I guess we could keep referencing Shadowstats figures vs official ones, # in workforce vs unemployment %, stuff like that. Old hands all know this stuff is happening but if anyone new wanders in, it would be informative.

ParticipantThe notavax and masks were pushed on totally marxist “reasoning”
You don’t do it for yourself – you do it for everyone else
Everyone else’s safety is your responsibility. No such thing as informed decision for YOUR OWN safety or well-being.
Notavax might not protect you, might injure you, but it protects everyone else. Mask might not protect you, might psychologically damage your child, permanently damage your lungs with microplastics, fill your lungs with mold, make you O2 deprived, but protects everyone else
It was literally indoctrination into counterrevolutionary (counter the vastly superior AMERICAN REVOLUTION) continental european shitlib socialist marxist “reasoning” Everyone exist for everyone else. — stop making Ayn Rand right.
What’s “Good” – not you. Everyone BUT you. For every single person. People are individuals and every single individual is worth nothing, does the opposite of their welfare, should have no will of their own, for the Community – which is not-you. Whoever you are. In fact, YOU is bad. YOU making a decision, doing your own research, acting in your own best interests. Most awful thing ever. For every single person. The individual is the smallest minority and a society that does not protect that, does not believe in protecting minorities.
And then thoroughly indoctrinated HR departments see jobs as “resources” and “access” as opposed to an exchange of value – they “reasoned” that people who don’t act for the “community” shouldn’t have “access” to “resources” – when in fact a worker HAD to be an added value for the company. That’s the most basic description of the exchange being made for pay. So they took added value away from the company, because of how capitalist they are. Based on marxist reasoning. Nothing’s going on. Or if it is, it doesn’t matter. Or it’s a good thing actually. Or of course it is going on, idiot, everyone knew so it’s nothing special

ParticipantEquity in Theory – they are ALL stealing.
Look over the fence at all the people who paid for the game.
Be DECENT and pay to see the game — or if it’s so easy to put on a game that it is not worth your money, go ahead and do it yourself, but stop stealing. Or surely your local tball or high school baseball will do – if you genuinely have that common touch.
They want the entertainment from the game without any resources going to make it happen. They want free shit and monkeys to fly out their butts.

ParticipantI know socialism.
Ah, so you are sheltered and speaking from ignorance. Marxism changes its terminology and approach somewhat both over time and geography. You can begin to remedy your out of touch understanding of socialism by watching this series — it’ll catch you up with the CURRENT day – not half century ago – information you need.
It is by no means definitive, but the info is given within a narrative and gives a real world example of how things play out – you may recognize 2020 in it.
I’m sorry but until you can competently discuss current year marxism, you really don’t have anything valid to say about it.

ParticipantA sheep (US pop) spends It’s whole life fearing the wolves (Comm/soc)
only to be eaten by the (that’s where we disagree)we disagree that it is/isn’t happening OR that it is happening but isn’t what it seems?
If your argument is it isn’t happening, then you’re a very sheltered unaware person OR a bad faith actor.
If your argument is it isn’t what it seems then it follows marxism is happening, but it is just a cat’s paw for someone else
BUT all these elites with control over Vanguard and Blackrock etc went to the same universities which had adopted marxism, everything past is evil, everyone past was an idiot, USA = evil, constitution = evil, socialism is the best – nay, the only good economic system etc. Then all these elites from the Good Schools ended up in the same tiny circles and reveled in smelling their and each others’ farts for a few decades or so.
It is very much NOT inconceivable that the trust fund kids are funding the marxism. To the extent that the curtain CAN be pulled back, it is apparent this IS the case – the only question in these cases would be, is it being done sincerely or cynically?
All the major institutions are being dominated by current year marxist thinking, the current party in power in the USA, and western economies are moving in sync towards a Climate Change holodomor. And climate change is wokeist, wokeism is marxism. Climate change is critical theory applied to climate and that’s marxism. So the only question remains is it cynical or sincere in its use.
I ultimately don’t CARE if it is being advanced for sincere or insincere purposes. My objection to it is pragmatic, not ideological. I care about the actual stupidly damaging effects on society and civilization.
So anyway, all you seem to be bringing to the table is a re-frame of perception OF other people as “fearful,” the implication being they’re delusional, not in their right minds, etc.
Since this isn’t an argument, you don’t appear to be engaging in a discussion with me – or you would fight your corner, make an argument – so it’s for perception-management of onlookers, other readers, lurkers, etc — which is inherently contemptuous of those readers.

Participantwtf even was the occasion for removing the wedding ring? You put it on and leave it there. Was he changing the oil of his car that day? DIY- switching out a garbage disposal?
Why was Jill in France that same weekend they whisk him away to Delaware for His Covid Isolation (AND crowdstrike happens) Wouldn’t she be WITH him for such an event as making a DECISION and announcement to not run? I’ll just run off to Paris while you tweet your thing honey.

ParticipantBiden’s Step-Down Speech:
–Why was he not wearing his wedding ring?
–Why was he wearing that tie that caused horrible interlacing?
–why was he sometimes looking up at almost a 45 degree angle away from the camera for his lines? You can put a teleprompter right in line the camera so the person can be speaking TO the camera
To me, this smacks of – only a few “important” people were arranging for this speech. And I know from the corporate world, when you’re important, you’re too important to specifically do things – you only do things generally. That’s THE mark of importance!
If “little people” with all the little detail-work knowledge were there, that tie would not have been on the air, someone would have noticed the absence of the wedding ring, would have gotten a teleprompter into the room and positioned it correctly.
wtf was he LOOKING at, someone holding a cue card over their head???
Why did his face look so weirdly smoothed? The AI face replacement and Tiktok face filter examples I’ve seen have a smoothed quality to them.
Someone who is NOT “little people” with the specific detail knowledge and willingness/duty to attend to those details ran the step-down speech. (what you’d expect if a group of “important people” are doing something naughty and keeping all potential witnesses out of their activities)

ParticipantPoof! GovTrack Scrubs Kamala Harris ‘Most Liberal’ Senator Ruling From 2019
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/poof-govtrack-scrubs-kamala-harris-most-liberal-senator-ruling-2019Now, GovTrack – which tracks the voting records of House and Senate lawmakers, has scrubbed a 2019 analysis which ranked then-Sen. Harris as the “most liberal” US Senator.
The original link to the page leads to a “Page Not Found” error.
Fools, we’re GovTrack, what we do is not-track and remove stuff if we accidentally track something.

ParticipantIf Joe Biden didn’t cause that letter to be written and signed with his name then whoever DID write it is guilty guilty guilty
IMHO The roughly 6-8 people who conjointly signed it, each one doing a pen stroke, to share the guilt.
Like all the conspirators stabbing Caesar – “now we are all in this equally.”
Aside from the observable characteristics of the “signature,” multiple people explains why a forgery wouldn’t be better. It sucks because if you have 6 or 7 important people in front of you, you cannot boss them around making them sign over and over
“No. This time get it right”
You don’t dare.
I imagine a bunch of the middle managers – or worse yet, project managers – from the call center assembled into a room to forge a signature together. Each one looking to climb up the corporate ladder on each other and each one avoiding causing ANY offense that could pose a danger to later advancement/”cooperation”/networking.
You cannot make them practice, pass judgment, cajole them, bully them, correct them. Certainly not directly contradict. UNDERLINGS you can say practice until it is right, this is not good enough. So it wasn’t a leader and underlings. Nor loyal friends or allies that could work together with technical competence. A bunch of dangerous people potentially dangerous to each other somewhere down the line.

ParticipantThe Cost Of A Hoax
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/cost-hoaxThe 2021 scandal sprang from the alleged discovery of 215 graves of indigenous children. They were said to have died under suspicious circumstances at the Catholic-run school and then buried in unmarked graves behind the facility.
When the story broke, the press fell over itself in a race to sensationalism.
Actually, no graves had been discovered; their existence was extrapolated from “anomalies” in the earth found by ground-penetrating radar. Such anomalies are commonplace, however, and usually indicate a tree root, a large rock, or some other innocuous presence.
Sir. No. You’re having trouble with words. Anomalie means something. You’re still working for THEM as you “debunk” them.
Common things like tree roots and rocks – often found in the dirt – are not and cannot be anomalies.
More correctly, the “scientists,” government, media, and educational establishments of Canada all decided to interpret THE NORMAL WAY DIRT IS in a way that could label Catholics, Christians, Private Schools, Religious Schools, White People, and Canada as inherently genocidal in character.
So long as you slander a big enough group, you never ever pay? How much damage was done? How do you even calculate it. Immense. And this was just ONE of a bagillion instances, ongoing with increased intensity for decades.
Yeah, the Home Depot lady should get no mercy.
There OUGHT to be mercy, but that presumes everyone INSIDE the system TOGETHER, following the same basic rules of civility.
She gave in to evil — as defined from WITHIN my cultural, civilizational values. “Oh, but from outside that, they would—” DGAF, you just declared yourself to be evil as well.
We will not be able to get back to civility, to free speech, to get away from chaotic Mean Girls x9,999,999,999 as a way of running society until people are willing to perceive this inside/outside distinction and behave accordingly.
An unspoken rule – being aghast at the use of power. Insisting it is always evil. Or that its use at least makes it amoral. Converts any moral act to “just ABOUT power” because power was used.
No. There is an inside and an outside. You want to be outside, overtly tearing away at even the most basic fabric of decency? (“who is to say what decency…” — okay you are one of the barbarians from outside now) Then learn, over and over, why there is a civil society, free speech, and basic human rights. Learn it all over again, over and over again, until you say “let’s be nice to each other again – by the definition that is proven over centuries to work”

ParticipantHow the U.S. Air Force Turns an F-16 Fighter Into a Drone
https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a29847417/f-16-drone/Unsurprisingly, it’s relatively easy to turn a computer-controlled fighter into a drone.
In 2010, the Air Force began converting F-16s to QF-16s (Q standing for drone). According to Wired, this year 32 of the drones were pulled from Davis Monthan and modified using a Boeing-designed Drone Peculiar Equipment kit. The F-16 is relatively easy to transform into a drone because, instead of older aircraft such as the F-4 Phantom, the F-16 was a fly-by-wire aircraft in which onboard computers translate the pilot’s commands into action. The F-16 was one of the first jets in which computers, not pilots, issued direct controls to the aircraft. Tapping into that system is much easier than installing physical actuators that push manual flight controls.
The Air Force’s “Skyborg” AI software, meant to act as an R2-D2 to a pilot in a manned airplane or a computer wingman in a separate, unmanned aircraft, could also be adapted to the QF-16, turning it into a weapon-carrying wingman for a F-22 or F-35 fighter.
The U.S. Air Force has plenty of F-16s in the Boneyard—at least a hundred are lined up in neat rows right now in the Arizona desert.

Participantif someone had a computer based deadman switch, and you needed extra time to “convince” someone of something – past the point where they could hold out, which, of course, would be past the point their deadman switch was set for if they were common-sense planners – would a massive worldwide IT outage help with that?

ParticipantJust want to reiterate from the other day:
–why is Joe Biden’s signature so different?
–why so many more individual pen strokes than his usual signature?
–why is it so much longer than usual?
–why is the N at almost a 90 degree angle to the rest of the signature?
–why is the signature underlined, which Biden has never done?It was forged by multiple people so that the conspirators share equally in the crime, each person responsible for one pen stroke. Like every conspirator stabbing Caesar, so they share equally in the crime. We are all committed together.
Why does it look that way? Because they were clustered around a table or desk, not everybody could get in at the same angle. Somebody was at the end of the table/desk when they signed the N, thus the 90 degree turn in the signature that would never ever happen with a single person signing.
I count 7-8 pen strokes. The underline is either to provide enough penstrokes for all conspirators to participate equally in the forgery or the ringleader giving a little emphatic flair for their fellows “the die is cast” “It is done”
So anywhere from 6-8 people involved in faking the Biden step-down letter signature.
Last seen in public Wednesday 7/17/24
Last public statement saying he was not dropping out Friday 7/19/24 around 9am
Campaign manager was still saying he was not dropping out less than an hour before the “letter” was released!
Biden departs Wednesday 7/17/24 to, as the news media says, for “his Covid self-isolation”
Crowdstrike hits very early morning Friday 7/19
One last statement he isn’t dropping out that same morning – was it already pre-scheduled? They do that with tweets, youtube videos, etc…
And then no new news until 7/21. When “Joe Biden” breaks up with the US via text msg less than an hour after his representative communicates “I will never ever leave you”
Did Crowdstrike provide cover in some way? The timing of a coup and a ginormous IT outage lining up is non negligible.

ParticipantI was checking the timeline – looks like the last we heard from Biden that he was staying in the campaign was around 7/19 around 10am EST? Not totally positive but everything I found points to that.
His campaign manager was saying he was still in the race and not planning to bow out less than an hour before the twitter letter.
I was checking to see how Covid “self-isolation” fit into that time frame but got these results from AI in a “Biden Covid” search – It was still 7/22 everywhere in the US when I was getting these results
From Brave Browser search AI:
July 23, 2024: Vice President Kamala Harris shared an update on Biden’s condition during a speech at the White House
From Bing Copilot AI
On July 23, Vice President Kamala Harris praised President Joe Biden’s legacy in her first public appearance since he announced his decision to step down from the 2024 presidential race. She highlighted his accomplishments and expressed deep gratitude for his service to the nation. Harris emphasized Biden’s honesty, integrity, and commitment to the American people
She also mentioned that Biden’s decision to endorse her as his successor was one of the best decisions he has made, and she called on supporters to back her in the upcoming election
I probed for more detail on Biden’s future activities and got
On July 23, 2024, President Joe Biden made a significant move by calling into Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign headquarters. During this call, he thanked the staffers and emphasized that their mission remains unchanged despite his decision to step down from the 2024 presidential race1. This gesture was part of his ongoing efforts to support Harris and ensure a smooth transition as she steps forward as the leading candidate for the upcoming election.
What the hell, let’s check the more distant future. I got:
As of July 27, 2024, President Joe Biden is continuing to recover well from COVID-19. His symptoms have almost completely resolved… …Despite his recovery, President Biden has stayed out of public view and continues to perform his presidential duties remotely13. The White House has not yet announced when he will resume public appearances
What did Joe Biden do on 8/27/24, Copilot?
On August 27, 2024, President Joe Biden actively participated in the formal nomination process for the Democratic Party. During this event, he delivered a heartfelt speech, expressing his gratitude to the party and its supporters for their unwavering support throughout his presidency. He emphasized the importance of unity and the need to continue working towards the goals they had set together1.
Biden also reiterated his full support for Vice President Kamala Harris, highlighting her leadership qualities and urging the party to rally behind her in the upcoming election1. His actions and words were aimed at ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining the momentum of the Democratic Party’s campaign.
What was Joe Biden doing on 9/24/24?
On September 24, 2024, President Joe Biden was actively engaged in his campaign efforts. He held a significant campaign event in Detroit, where he addressed a large crowd of supporters1. During this event, Biden emphasized the importance of unity and the need to continue the progress made during his presidency. He also reiterated his support for Vice President Kamala Harris and urged the Democratic Party to rally behind her in the upcoming election1.
Biden’s speech focused on key issues such as healthcare, the economy, and climate change, highlighting his administration’s achievements and outlining his vision for the future1. This event was part of his broader strategy to maintain momentum and support within the Democratic Party as the election approached.
Even if it is hallucinating based on wrong dates, what news reports could it pull from in the past that have HIM campaigning for HER?

ParticipantI count probably 7, possibly 8 people doing the Twitter/X Biden dropout letter signature
jb-hb
ParticipantWhere’s Joe?
Joe Biden resignation — swore what, 24 maybe 48 hours before he wouldn’t quit, representatives of his campaign saying same? A LETTER comes out on Sunday on X, not on official letterhead, saying he is dropping out?
And he hasn’t been seen in the flesh. My wife said maybe he is too distraught. Hell, Nixon was distraught and said a thing or two at the podium.
People are asking – is this signature on the dropout letter a forgery?
My question is – why is the forgery so BAD?
One thing this guy points out is how Biden signs his signature in just a few movements whereas the “signature” in the Biden dropout letter has MANY discrete bits of picking the pen up and putting it down never seen before in a Biden signature.
He cites signatures as recent as a month ago. He has NEVER signed it with this many separate pen strokes.
Additionally, the signature is a good deal longer spaced than he has ever done.
And his N at the end is jacked up, looks kinda like an S. You can see where the pen came down again to do JUST that letter and it looks weird because it’s an N rotated almost 90 degrees.
I’ve got a simple answer to all the discrepancies:
This is a signature by a GROUP of people standing around a desk or table. Shoving the paper around to each other, each one partially signing it. So that they share the crime equally.
Haven’t seen this proposed anywhere yet. After a couple minutes reflection, It occurred to me it is the same dynamic as all the conspirators stabbing Caesar. Not because they wanted to stab him a gagillion times but that they’d agreed to share the crime.
Therefore, to determine how many people are in on this “resignation,” count the pen strokes.
(why the underline? he’s never signed with an underline ever — the underline was for the last person so there’d be enough for everybody- having to do an extra pen stroke at the end ro have enough tells you that each stroke WAS a different person)

ParticipantIf I didn’t disbelieve you, then I’d assume you were extremely, extremely sheltered and behind the times, possibly retired already for decades and thus out of the loop as to who and what are being affected by what. And/or I might also assume you weren’t up on current marxist theory, terminology and so on.
IF you were a good faith actor, then I’d say watch the benjamin boyce series on Evergreen college to get close to current day and then get back to us from there. IF you were talking in good earnest
https://youtu.be/p5Wny9TstEM.But you are uncannily unaware, but by total avoidance/omission. As if you know what not to know. While always knowing what to jump in to defend. While not “knowing” what it is so it cannot be up for debate. But always knowing to say authoritatively “That thing isn’t happening” or “It’s nothing”
And I’ve gone out of my way to explain various effects as you’ve flipped between “nothing is happening” and “it’s happening but it is just a distraction/no big deal/etc” and while you seem to have excellent memory in other areas, every argument of this type necessitates total amnesia.
And pretending amnesia in hopes that, for “civility” others play along is begging for special treatment. And actually uncivil. Discussion is civil. Bad-faith anti-discussion-simulacra is anti-civil. Looking to take every advantage of civil society while having contempt for it. It’s only a cheat code for as long as people think they can afford tolerating it – as sort of a luxury. Charity from dominant victors who can afford it and want to be magnanimous. Towards people, ideologies, etc that can’t do any harm. A strategy that only “wins” while it is losing.
And you’re going to enlighten “members of this panel” that their system isn’t perfect? Isn’t Capitalism? You have total amnesia on what those panel member’s complaints ARE then. Conveniently and forever.
So where are we now?
1. It’s not happening
2. It’s happening but it’s no big deal (a distraction perhaps?)
3. It’s happening and that’s a good thing
4. Everyone knew it was happening this is no surprise to anyone what’s the big dealjb-hb

ParticipantThe Eric Weinstein thing – “Democrats don’t think of themselves as Communist”
right, right. They ONLY have been, turned up to 11, promoting current year marxist policies and discussing everything from within the current year marxist frame using current year marxist terms, adhering to marxist definitions. Pushing them into media, news, education…. it’s nothing, really. Just a misunderstanding. A decades-long misunderstanding that’s been turned up to 11 for at least 10 years.
…but they never SAID they were Communist. They didn’t SAY it.
If you call them socialist, then they might say well no not really per se but… And if you call them Communist THEN they’ll say oh no I am a socialist it is different.
It’s like I always ask — socialists here who say oh no I am not Communist, I’m different, what’s the ideal % of GDP that should be government, at what point will you declare “You’re ruining my Socialism! STOP ruining my socialism!” and fight tooth and nail to bring the % balance of government vs private back to your ideal balance?
Never, right? Maybe stay silent and nod your head. Let someone else do the heavy lifting. Maybe wait for key moments to say “Well, they have a POINT there…”
Communism is just 100% Socialism. if you aren’t looking to stop anywhere short of 100%, then you’re Communist not Socialist. But if you won’t openly advocate for revolution all the way to 100%, then you’re just a cowardly Communist.
Current year marxism – all the Frankfurt School fellows, false consciousness ported over to race, sex, environment etc, intersectionalism etc — if you are Communist and current year marxism ISN’T the true communism, same kind of question for you I have for the Socialists – if that ISN’T Communism, then where’s the crusade – “Stop! You’re ruining my Communism!”
Kind of like AFKTT – IF the Climate was ACTUALLY his primary concern, then every time some faker lied with a model or fake data or unscientific measurement-taking, he’d say “STOP! Not a step further! You’re ruining my Climate Meltdown!!!! Not a step further, you lying bastards!” He’d want to clean up his own house above all other houses. He’d be pissed at those who mess up his own house above all others but he never ever is. Cosmic Coincidence.
If you’re Communist and never ever have a problem with them Ruining Your Communism but DO always jump in in defense of current year marxism, and only ever say “nothing is happening” ….as a very obvious defense OF WHAT IS HAPPENING, then you’re just another type of cowardly Communist who won’t fight their corner either.
Anyway, Weinstein knows better. His brother was put through absolute hell. Practically the only one who knows better IS Brett Weinstein. What caused Evergreen to self-destruct and seemed crazy back when it happened is now gospel to the Dems. It’s way, way too late to warn them they might SEEM marxist. Even if some of the upper Dems thought it was merely pragmatically useful, you have a generation of young adults who don’t get that as a joke AT ALL.
You Dems went nuts with marxist critical theory – Ibrahim X Kendri and Die, Anglo etc just for example for YEARS. Too late unless you heavily, HEAVILY disavow over and over – I would need to hear it JUST AS wide-broadcast and repetitive and via every HR dept consistently for YEARS to allow the Dems to stand down from this. I’d need to see the dems not only promise, not only try, but ACTUALLY roll back the changes they made. They never will try.

ParticipantSecret Service epically screws up on purpose or accident protecting Trump
Biden: Oh shit. Those guys are supposed to protect me too.
Biden: Makes heads roll, fires the people in charge, fires incompetents.
Wait no. Leave everything in place. As if he knows… what would he know that would prevent him from immediately firing people or requiring resignations? …not to do his duty, but because a functioning Secret Service would be pure self-interest and self-preservation?

ParticipantAs a Weinstein, he DEFINITELY KNOWS BETTER than to be saying people might think marxism…
His brother was at 2020 1.0 at Evergreen College, at the epicenter of that marxist shitstorm. 2020 was just Evergreen spun up from regional to national level.

ParticipantSecret Service deploys no EW against drones?????????? No jamming to interdict the event location?
?!?!??!?!?!?
Not even against consumer grade drones? ANYBODY that buys a drone at Walmart or Amazon and wants to attach fireworks, steak knives, a zip gun, whatever, is welcome to take their shot?
And with the range of reception – or perhaps extended range with relays – you’d think it would make people pretty brazen. They would at least think they could make an escape. Run a long (LONG) LAN cable to your drone remote and I’m not sure why you wouldn’t.
No Secret Service waiting with an AA12 or Benelli automatic full of birdshot? I guess not.

ParticipantI learned a new term yesterday.
I already knew about anarcho-terrorism – a government encourages lawlessness, then selectively enforces the law/selectively refrains from enforcing and does so in a targeted fashion
The new one for me – stochastic terrorism
This is where you do not specifically do something, but create so many chances for a targeted, specifically desired something that it is bound to happen eventually.
10 years of “He’s a racist bigot misogynist nazi! He’ll become a dictator if he ever gets elected!!!”
“Actually no, nothing as pleasant as that. He’ll start mowing down _____ type people in the streets, send them all to literal guillotines, end all Democracy, cause WW3, is Hitler”
“Actually no, he is an EXISTENTIAL THREAT” ie a threat to your existence. (to ALL existence even?) Trump is going to KILL YOU. Your existence will terminate.
For anyone who believes their institutions – of which The Press and the major news networks and newspapers new are the major source of information – they know – KNOW – Trump = Hitler and Hitler is the most assassination worthy person in history (as far as they know) and in fact the Germans were all deeply guilty and shameful for not assassinating Hitler – why oh why did nobody assassinate hitler????!!!!!?!? Not just most-assassination worthy – Hitler was someone for whom it was COMPULSORY
Well, you could read one of hundreds of available books in which Germans of that time period talk about the difficulties involved – not only methods, but how he was killed could have significant and starkly differing consequences for years and decades to come. Being germans themselves, they DID weigh, with gravity, with an awareness of responsibility the consequences to their own nation as well as the world.
They might, if they cracked open a book, find that many MANY attempts were in fact made and 80,000 Germans died resisting the Nazi government – we have many wars in our history we think of as significant with a lower body count. JUST the Nazi government fighting Germans who didn’t want to go along was a war all by itself. (froths at mouth – nobody tried to stop hitler!!!)
“Hitler” rather than Hitler, is all one’s jealousies, disappointments, bitterness, guilt, shame, rage, failings, indecency, the unbearableness of being etc basketed up together and thrown onto someone else. Obviously Trump does not resemble Hitler. Eats red meat, drinks alcohol, doesn’t micromanage, not looking to abolish private gun ownership, has more than one testicle, and when a gay nightclub was shot up in Florida, he said “Look what they’ve done to us.” ….US. How much crossover is there between Mein Kampf and Art of the Deal vs crossover with HIllary Rodham Clinton’s What Happened? Can we do some sort of AI analysis of Biden speeches during his presidency vs Trump’s and see which has more Fascistic tendencies?
But anyway, stochastic terrorism — din du nutttin – BUT made it 99.999% likely to occur.

ParticipantHow many smartphones had Siri, Bixby etc turned on, thus, the sounds of the shots passing through the internet from always-on listening?
How many people sent video recordings via the internet with the shots, time stamped from when the video was taken?
Does the NSA gather telemetry/position of cellphones? Yes they do.
So they have a cloud of 100+ microphones with time and position data. They know where each shot was coming from already.
If I can buy a $9.99 plugin for recording that subtracts the jackhammer outside, my loud box fan, and the neighbor doing a remodel, leaving only my singing – based on neural net tech – then I think they already have a program they can plug such info in that spits out a result. If audio processing is on a miraculous level for the masses, what do THEY have? SURELY something this practical.
Frames per second means there are gaps in time between each picture, which, depending on the frame rate, indicates a greater or lesser chance of the bullet passing by within a gap between pictures. But if a frame being taken lands on that specific moment the bullet IS in… so maybe. maybe someone caught it.
Of all the different videos being taken at the time with non-synced frame rates, the actual frame rate of all the cameras put together was far higher than a high quality lab camera. Part of the incredulity, I suspect, comes from thinking of the scenario as a SINGLE camera set to catch a single bullet. This was not the scenario. It was a, what, 100+ camera array with multiple cameras burst shooting at the location.
I just happened to have my finger on the shutter and I heard the pops and just kept shooting. I didn’t know what I’d captured, but when I got to my laptop, I can see that bullet flying behind his head, because it’s definitely not in the frames right before it and it’s not in afterwards – it’s only that one frame. I was shooting at 1/8000s – it captured that streak behind him
retired FBI special agent and firearms expert Michael Harrigan said the photo “absolutely could be showing the displacement of air due to a projectile”, and some ballistic math suggests that 1/8000s shutter speed would make it possible to capture the bullet in those particular circumstances.
An example
“… you can actually see the bullet trace as it zips through the air on it’s way to the target. ”
seems like exposure rate might not be an impedimentThe biggest red flag is that ALL of it is too perfect – how Trump’s ear got hit, how the shooting came to happen in the first place, perfect pictures, perfect story of the firefighter father placing himself in harms way and dying, the fist pump with short bodyguards ducking low in such a way that they created the perfect picture through their own cowardice and incompetence, etc etc.
Yeah, ok, bullets do miss by an inch. Cameras probably DO catch bullet trails rarely, yes.
Are there historical instances of this, like failed false flags? Japan goes to bomb Pearl Harbor, the US leaves it wide open in multiple ways, but the Japanese miscalculated their fuel and all the bombers fell in the ocean just short of the beach?

ParticipantNONE of the wealthy I can point at got their fortunes from ANYWHERE but government.
a very illuminating book – The Arms Of Krupp
https://archive.org/details/armsofkrupp158710000mancthe parallels between the Krupps and Atlas Shrugged are remarkable. Hank Rearden, slaving away at making Rearden Steel and driving fine automobiles in grey suits seems to be a mishmash of Alfried and Gustav.
Gustav slaved away in much the way Hank Rearden is depicted slaving away to discover Rearden Metal – but to make steel artillery. He really REALLY slaved away until he had just a few furnaces and a humble cottage before he mastered it.
Alrfried ran the business through WW2. Fine grey suits, fine sportscars. Very competent manager. (also relentlessly used the slave labor system)
Various times, these self-made captains of industry (who rose to wealth on government contracts) have total freakouts when it starts to look like the government might NOT spend money on something or might not spend it with them.
Before reading this book, my outlook was more along the lines of, ginormous businesses and the super-rich bend the rules, get favorable laws passed, regulations, that sort of thing.
After reading the book, I realized how many rich people and ginormous businesses are fed money directly from the government – and then thinking how many contractors and subcontractors that depend on them, essentially the government is responsible for an even greater % of the GDP than people think.
For anyone who would appreciate a disillusioning view of industry – as a perfect counterpoint to Atlas Shrugged – I’d recommend it. If you read it right before or after Atlas Shrugged, some of the comparisons are downright uncanny. Maybe Rand hung out with the Krupps.
Post-WW2, the last Krupp sells off the massive business to, at least ostensibly, enjoy a self indulgent gay lifestyle in Brazil – but also the Krupps transferred all their wealth in industrial base into shadowy finance. Joined the Rothschilds and Rockefellers for all I know.
