[This is the thread to discuss the current corona virus psy-op.]
From Las Vegas, Pittsburg, Thousand Oaks to Russian Collusion and the Khashoggi assassination, false-flag hoaxes, conspoofacies, fake murders and other manufactured events are running non-stop around the world and around the corner.
A reader wrote in to suggest opening a comment section devoted to discussing current (faked) events. I thought it was a good idea and would provide a place where people could chime in on what’s going on in the news and even offer evidence for why they think the event was faked, hoaxed, manufactured, etc. (or why not). Have at it, unless you think it’s a waste of your time–in which case, don’t!

Today I ran into an acquaintance, a tall fairly rugged Vietnam Vet, who was crying about the new strains of the “virus”. I said “you know what the real virus is? The TV/media.

This Vietnam Vet was a medic in Nam and now he’s afraid of a virus and thinks it’s okay to shut senior sports down to save the vulnerable and the sickly. I replied “if one is sick or scared, stay home. but don’t punish the healthy.” And then I got tired of seeing my hubby look at me sideways so I moved on. 😉 Indeed, the best thing one can do for oneself is throw out the TV.

I cancelled my cable in 1997 and used ‘rabbit ears’ until 2000, when the tv expired. No regrets. I now treat all media as owned and controlled by the PNavy, so I am overly cautious when reading or watching any of it.

Well Netflix is a platform and has no ads, so you actually just CHOOSE what you wish to watch. It’s pretty simple, really. Yes, they do produce some shows but they also simply stream other shows, so it’s nothing like broadcast TV with blatant, constant propaganda. Same with Hulu and the others – you can select what you watch and there’s no ads. I don’t pay for any of those services but it’s just entertainment.

Yeah, I mean HBO made some money on Game of Thrones, since their subscriptions skyrocketed briefly, but given the massive expense of that visual masterpiece I can’t imagine they actually turned a legitimate profit.

But no plot? And the only theme was basically “enjoy misery, torture, and disappointment”. It was pathetic. I didn’t pay for it, and a good thing too.

Well that’s the thing – everything will NOT go into the cloud, simply for that reason – that some people refuse to pay those streaming entities.

All of them. So you don’t have to be one thing or the other, you don’t have to ONLY stream (rent) films. You can do both! It’s pretty easy to do. You can even SAVE streaming shows directly (from a browser) if you like.

Okay, while I agree about the propaganda of the CONTENT, either you have never used an online streaming service or you just… have never used one. Because Netflix has BY FAR the best UI, cleanest playback, and widest array of content. Sure, some (even much) of the content may be garbage and/or prop pieces, and I’m really not trying to defend the ENTITY of Netflix at all.
But I will defend the tech itself, because every other streaming site including YouTube is outright clown shoes in comparison. The controls either suck or are nonexistent, such as YouTube/Vimeo, or little things are discarded like CLICK TO PAUSE/PLAY (Hulu doesn’t have that), or the browsing experience is hit-or-miss at best. Netflix nails all of those.
So let’s just say all these sites went down or were jettisoned by people who refused their propaganda. Which I’m actually fine with. But then let’s say you all wish to watch those old movies and shows we all love, but guess who has them? Me. And then let’s say you wanted me to serve them for your consumption, either paid or not. Which I’m fine with as well.

I thought “huh, that’s interesting” and about three seconds later my eyes were stinging and watering and I couldn’t see anything. It hit everyone from children to grandmothers within at least 30 feet. After that everyone including myself scattered to find some way to wash out their eyes.

To me he was always of jewish ancestry, his family intertwined with jews like a wreath of laurel and from start to finish of his presidency his empty promises easily dropped at desperate people who voted for him without much concern or shame. All that has now changed, his 4 years in office are not irrelevant, but I see his ‘acting’ tactical perhaps. Interestingly, I found myself at odds with those same people yet again.

I am interested in Miles theory that this whole thing is about the old guard against the new guard.
The new guard, in my opinion, has pretty much infiltrated every govt institution, many big business organisations as well as the media. The new guard then has almost total control over what we, the people, see, hear, think.
The old guard, and I guess that’s the way it was up until the 60’s, and the way they like it, keeps itself under the radar, preferring to work through the normal political and business channels but secretly rather than in full view as the new guard seems to do.
Therefore, it seems to me that, since the new guard has total control of the old guard’s traditional means, the old guard have limited means to defend themselves or to attack their opposition.
This would explain Trump’s difficulties in getting any action performed, fighting back via the current systems, or getting supporters within the system to come out publicly for him.
My query is, understanding the above, how will the old guard take up the fight, what means can they use to do so and how will they use Trump and his followers i.e. those who voted for him, to carry out the fightback and destruction of this new guard?
Very interesting times we live in! Wouldn’t have missed it for quids!

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/09/media/reliable-sources-january-8/index.html

If Woodstock was the “first wave”, then the “free concert” given by the Rolling Stones in Altamont, Kalifornication was the blackwashing “second wave”. My first ex-wife and I traveled from Berkeley to the Altamont Speedway by car, ending up walking several miles. The Grateful Dead loaned the event their sound system (very impressive!) but did not partake in the festivities. As I now vaguely recall, Santana led it all off. The Jefferson Starship may have played later.
Surely Wikipedia has the sordid story in full, accurate detail. /sarc

Owing to my recent conversion to Branch Covidianism, I am compelled to offer this public statement:
My fellow Earthlings, I’m sorry.
I realize now that I’ve been looking at things all wrong. The coronavirus really did just pop up unexpectedly, and the fact that governments around the world are busy using it as a pretext to erode our rights is not an indication that they had a plan to do so, or that they had a hand in creating the situation, or that they’re lying via statistics (the worst kind of lie) about the severity of the situation, or that they ultimately plan to enslave us, in any way. In fact, the most powerful people on the planet are working day and night on our behalf, as we speak, to ensure that we deal with the situation in the most sensible, scientifically accepted way possible. I am certain of it.
I am equally certain that masks work to slow the spread of the virus, and that any ill-effects we may experience from doing so are totally worth the tradeoff. I promise to avoid all studies or expert opinions that suggest otherwise in the future. And I understand that it doesn’t matter if I have to change the mask half a dozen times a day or more because it will quickly become saturated, making it objectively worse than it was when dry. And it doesn’t matter that it’s dehumanizing us at the very moment in time when our entire nation seems poised to go at one another’s throats. Those things aren’t important. What we need most right now isn’t a human face on our neighbor. What we need is a uniform sense of compliance and submission, and that’s what I’ll strive for going forward.
I wish to apologize to all the scientists who work so hard to create the scientific consensus. I’m sorry I ever viewed you as a bunch of toadies who were unwilling to speak up for fear of ridicule or shunning from polite society. Likewise, I wish I hadn’t taken the rash step of thinking that perhaps all that corporate funding might have had an influence on the outcome of your various peer-reviewed studies. Had I never gone and taken the time to read those studies for myself I might never have come to such a conclusion. Alas, while it would have been best for me to have embraced the consensus early on I chose the more bitter path of self-reliance and am thus the broken man you see before you today. Please forgive me.
I now understand that I shouldn’t have taken offense at the term lockdown. I was completely overreacting and I apologize. In times like these we should all come together, should remain almost captive, as it were, to the reality of the situation. In that context,the term lockdown is entirely appropriate and I apologize to any screws I may have offended with my self-righteous crusade to always be right about everything.
I also apologize for analyzing data from the establishment’s own sources and coming to my own conclusions about it, rather than relying on the expert explanatory powers of established professionals. I should have ignored the data itself and concentrated on the abstract when it crawled across the Fox news ticker. I deeply regret finding obvious errors of omission as well as misused variables or the like, in the establishment’s own conclusions from that data. Again, virtually any mainstream news ticker could have corrected my mistake, had I bothered to look at one. I failed to do so and that’s on me. Sorry.
I’d like to apologize, as well, to Mr. Bill Gates. Can I call you Bill, Bill? Bill, I’m sorry. I’m sorry I thought you were a creepy fuck. I thought my observation was based on objective fact but it turns out it was simply my gut instinct. I have no idea why it triggers like that every time you opened your mouth, but that’s what happens. I wish I could say it won’t happen again but to date no one’s been able to figure out the cause. We’re working on it, but the propects for success aren’t all that good. I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, again, I’m really sorry. I know you aren’t a self-promoting megalomaniac straight out of a Bond movie, and I’ll do my best to stop thinking you are.
I also need to apologize to the Intelligence communities of the world. It was foolish of me to think that any of you would ever do anything bad to any of Us. I should have realized sooner that you only ever do bad things to Them, not Us. And They deserve it, let’s face it, whereas We’re the good guys. If you have to do some things, maybe some unethical things, some things that might not sit well with some people, well, you do what you have to do. To Them. Never Us. Except for that one time, I guess. Well, and that other time. And the other one, and that other… oh and that really fucked up one that lasted decades an-…. I’m sorry. Grr! So hard! Okay, okay… I’m really, deeply, super-truly sorry I ever doubted you guys. Keep up the good work!
And finally I need to apologize to my fellow citizens. I’m sorry that I ever presented you with a viewpoint that conflicts with your own. I regret that in doing so I was simply spreading now-obvious dis- and misinformation, and probably Chinese propoganda to boot. I’m sorry I ever directed you to unsanctioned information sources. It was never my intention to undermine our democracy, yet by reminding you that there is a great variety of source material directly available to you sans corporate spin I did just that, as I now clearly see. Obviously it would’ve been better for me to simply circle back around to an acceptable source of unbiased info such as the CDC, and I wish I had done so. I’m really, really sorry.
In conclusion, I hope that you can all forgive me. Or, failing that, that you can at least understand that my lapse was only temporary, and that my feet are now firmly back on the right path, leading me forward towards a glorious and oh-so-bright future. In that vein, I offer in closing (with all necessary humility) this suggestion for a new Pledge, in the hopes that it will enable us all to reach a more hive-minded form of consensus, sooner rather than later:
I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the Corporate States of America,
and to the Corporation of D.C.
for whom They work;

Miles, ‘A paper moon on [over] a cardboard sea’ is a beautiful phrase of thought to return from our ideals back into the approximation of the real world where the healthiest route through to ones’ fullness is then set in course, and then only made possible. Or as Carrie Kilgore puts it ‘… we’ve all had the experience of suddenly finding ourselves believing in something beautiful but flimsy. Our imagination can launch us skyward, but if we don’t return to earth we can lose ourselves. But coming down from a false heaven allows us to connect with our fellow travelers in a new, enlightened way.

Sunshine mentioned (just above) the Alison McDowell interview, in which she describes some of the wondrous things blockchain will make possible. On her website, she has posted a “briefing paper” on this subject. The introductory paragraphs point to black communities, but the whole paper is a tour de force in exposing the upcoming human capital bond markets, and other ways of exploiting humans for privileged profit. Here are quotes from her article.
“Advances in digital identity, e-wallets, automated data-capture; Ethereum smart contracts, artificial intelligence, behavioral analytics, machine vision, and bipartisan support for “evidence-based” results are allowing new markets in human capital finance to finally come online at scale. The Davos crowd calls it stakeholder capitalism, and it is aligned to New America’s Bretton Woods II impact investing agenda. What it aims to do is pull the global “un-banked” into the marketplace – not as independent economic actors (homo economicus), but rather as commodities, livestock to be managed by emerging Fourth Sector Benefit Corporations.”
and…
“Examples of blockchain ID social impact projects include the Amply blockchain identity app for toddlers attending daycare in Cape Town; blockchain babies in Tanzania where compliance with pre-natal appointments can be tracked for “impact;” DAPP blockchain software that uses machine vision and videos to trigger tokenized payments after documentation of proper parenting in poor households is uploaded; and the blockchain birth certificate program the state of Illinois launched with Evernym.”
and…
“On the basis of such equations global investors are financing data-driven “solutions” for social problems with the understanding that they will continue to make money on poverty, misery and trauma as long as it remains well managed. In addition the people being run through such systems are turned into commodities for mining, not for their well-being, but to remake them as interoperable data on dashboards for investment portfolios. This is where we have landed. If we don’t resist now, our fate will be sealed. Life reduced to metrics stored by the National Interoperability Collaborative by Stewards of Change for artificial intelligence predictive profiling.”

As the article points out, it can be used to put humanity under the control of algorithms that dispense rewards and punishments based on whether or not we’ve satisfied some pre-specified requirements — and we will not get much say over what those requirements are. I was however surprised to see how it is already being employed in 3rd world settings.

You forgot a crucial detail there with your “apps” and “banks”, they are centralized entities and they can pull the plug on you any moment.
any day they could decide to censor you, block your account or confiscate your funds.
they can go into maintenance, they can shut off service in your region and of course you need to make an account and you pay fees to use their “service”.
you dont have any of that with BTC, so like you said:

Of course they allowed you to own gold again in ’74 but only after Nixon decoupled the Dollar from Gold in ’71.
since then they are robbing you through massive inflation.
so ironically its the other way around now, from “owning nothing” you can actually own something because as long as you have the private key and keep it secure nobody can take your BTC from you and they also cant change its economic parameters and inflate it or change it from the ground up because of decentralization.
thats a huge advantage.
now imagine you had to flee your place for whatever reason, what is easier to smuggle out of the country? a key you can memorize in your head giving you global access to your funds or physical goldbars that wont even make it through customs?

internet and electricity doesnt shut down globally at once if it did you would have much bigger problems, outages are usually just regional and short term.
But if it happened and you really care to be online all the time you can buy a generator, satellite internet and with that crypto would still work.

Bitcoin wasnt invented so you can buy groceries with it (same way you dont go to a store with a goldbar to buy the milk).

The actions of the central banks in inflating the US dollar (and other currencies) incentivizes moving to Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies as a store of value. The average person is losing more faith in fiat, and while gold was historically used as a hedge against economic uncertainty, cryptocurrencies are gaining a lot more traction, especially with the younger generation. Both have problems, in that they are deflationary and already owned in large part by the elite. Since the elites would like to move to a digital currency, anything that normalizes that or speeds adoption plays into their hands. Money in your bank account will be stolen through inflation; money you put into property will be stolen through property taxes (not to mention all the other ways the elites can cause land to be devalued), etc. Bitcoin’s price is based entirely on FOMO, and the bet that cryptos will someday have wider adoption. What difference does it make if money is stolen through cryptocurrency, really? What is the best way to store capital earned over a lifetime? Obviously investing in experiential, intellectual, or social capital is imperative, and will pay excellent returns, but financial/material capital is also necessary.
Bitcoin has the highest market cap because it was first, not because it will persist longest. It was the proof of concept for a digital currency, but since it was launched in 2009, millions of man-hours of programming and mathematical research time have been devoted to improving cryptocurrency protocols to increase usability and number of use cases. Bitcoin itself is too slow and inflexible to be of any lasting value. The second generation of cryptocurrencies (e.g. Ethereum) introduced smart contracts that allow for various transactions to take place without the support of a trusted third party (for instance, Kickstarter’s functionality could be implemented with a smart contract). Third generation cryptocurrencies are attempting to solve problems of scalability (transactions per second, storing the blockchain as it reaches terabyte size and above, obviating the incredibly expensive proof of work consensus mechanism, etc.) and other issues. There is still a lot of work to be done before digital currencies could be feasibly deployed as a global currency – though I believe it will be done through the dominant blockchain model. Cardano, a digital currency founded by Charles Hoskinson, one of the co-founders of Ethereum, is being developed through collaboration with cryptographers in top universities worldwide. Wolfram Research, founded by spook Stephen Wolfram, is now working closely with Cardano. The families are investing a great deal in getting their blockchain currencies off the ground.
I believe that the elite are funding Cardano to develop the necessary technology and mathematics to make a global digital currency a reality, and not as a pump-and-dump scam. However, it is true that Intelligence can secure funding for black ops by developing a garbage cryptocurrency and selling it to feckless speculators.
In terms of legislation, the US Treasury Department under Mnuchin is seeking to add rules requiring that cryptocurrency exchanges identify owners of private (unhosted by an exchange) wallets when making large asset transfers. The vast majority of cryptocurrency trading is already done through exchanges, which defeats the purpose of a decentralized currency, but this kind of legislation would further imperil the potential psuedonymity currently offered by cryptos. I would expect to see more of this kind of thing in the future, until cryptocurrencies are as completely controlled as fiat dollars are today.

The more I learn about Bitcoin the more amazed I am that anyone uses it.

Now I’ve heard stories from friends about how they know of people who got rich on Bitcoin. I’m sure a relatively large amount of people have had other people’s FRN value transferred to them through Bitcoin. A lot of other people have lost money on the gamble. People have had their money stolen off the exchanges, most likely with the help of the anonymous owners of said exchanges. That’s an execution worthy level of crime, period. Millions… billions right back to intel and their spook baby hackers and system admins.

@Fredster,
We don’t need your BTC evangelism here. We’re not dupes.
BTC is digital. That’s the first and biggest strike against it. It’s way easier to track and control than paper currency. The so-called decentralization and anonymity of BTC is a total illusion.
Its complexity is also a huge barrier. The average person doesn’t understand how it all works – mining, blockchain, ledgers, digital wallets, etc. Nor do they know how to buy, sell, and use BTC.
Like precious metals, the banks own most of it. At any moment they could choose to dump it all on the market and crash the value.
Because of its arbitrary scarcity, it’s also highly deflationary. Deflation creates just as much instability and misery as inflation. Deflation just means the cost of everything else – including human labor – goes down. Deflation = depression = bread lines.
It’s also intended as both a medium of exchange and a store of value. These two functions should always be separate. That has been one of the major flaws of gold currency from the get-go.
BTC evangelists are trying to solve the wrong problem by having a money that is outside of the government’s control. The obvious fact is that money is ALREADY outside the government’s control, since the Federal Reserve is a private entity owned by its member banks. What we need is for the government to START controlling the money supply and issue money not as interest-bearing debt but as a usury-free medium of exchange tied to real economic activity.

the propaganda of Government controlling the money supply is starting with the ‘Modern Monetary Theory’. Government couldn’t run a bath. Gold/silver worked perfectly well and this is proven by data between 1750 and 1914. What failed was having a fixed ratio between gold and silver. by removing gold and silver as money in the public domain it has facilitated the growth of Government as the conduit to the families controlling the masses. The families may well have run the shoah before 1914 but they sure as hell do post 1914 and the disintegration of ‘money’ to be ‘currency’ and therefore a Sh1te store of value over time has been an integral part of that process

A return to gold-backed currency would not be any better than our current system. To what “data between 1750 and 1914” are you referring? There were many booms and busts during this period, not to mention riots and misery due to the industrialist wage-slavery system, which operated on gold-backed currency. You have a tall order if you’re trying to argue that this was a stable era for money and labor.

If money is money because it has intrinsic value, what would be of value to be considered money nowadays? Is it time itself? Maybe. Or land, or knowledge or novel idea?

It should be something practical. Something inclusive (not exclusively digital or paper/coin, but both and more).
Question also worth asking is, could we go along and prosper only with currency, but without any money? Actually we already have such a currency (fiat) quasi situation without money (backing). Well it is not completely without backing really, because we practically still have money that is backed by rough force (violence if needed), that is, militaries around the globe guarding monopoly robber-barrons’ game. But could we go de-facto without any backing for the money, only with the currency? What would currency had to have beside practicality? Well…only thing that currency needs is trust and practicality. That means constant quantity, no derivatives and no issuers, only creators. And who would that be, the creator of currency? Well…in short – you.

Just an update on the Prius/Tesla question, the Prius is a hybrid as someone mentioned earlier. That means it has electric motors and batteries but it also has a petrol engine for additional power and to charge the batteries as you drive.
The Tesla has only electric motors and a battery pack. It must be charged via a charging station or special outlet in your garage at home.
The Prius has been around for a long time and has become very popular. Millions have been sold all over the world.
However, the Tesla is a low volume vehicle and sales would be miniscule in comparison.
The biggest disadvantage of the Tesla is the lack of charging stations beyond the city limits. This is being addressed but still people are wary of driving long distances in a Tesla. The Prius doesn’t have that problem because the petrol engine will keep the batteries charged.
Most other car manufacturers have since released their versions of the hybrid as well.
Tesla leads the way in the full electric vehicle development but the market remains small.
Manufacturers are also looking into other types of power such as hydrogen fuel cells but these are still a way off.

The primary selling point of Teslas are their self-driving capabilities. That’s extremely difficult to implement safely (remember, AI doesn’t actually help) and it’s still in development.

I don’t have a car because I get extremely distressed by the responsibility for everyone’s safety when I drive one (last time was around 5 years ago actually…), and that’s why I personally would prefer a self-driving Tesla over a normal car.

But to leave that responsibility totally to a bunch of computers responding to sensors which can fail at any time requires 2 or 3 back up systems which adds to the already high cost.
It is just another means for the manufacturers to squeeze more money from their customers like they do with electric cars and diesel engines.
