clanky··on USDA suspends federal financial awards to Minnesota and Minneapolis
Ok so they clearly don't actually care and let it continue through the entire first Trump administration, and are doing this to punish the resistance in Minnesota.

You are posting as though these sorts of rules and formalisms still matter when they clearly do not.

I feel like the headline "suspends federal financial awards" doesn't really convey that this is intended to end SNAP benefits and leave many people without food.

We can't keep doing this.

Theory I saw on Twitter is that Russia's recent Oresnik strike was undetected, meaning they may have first strike capability.

Although I am open to the underlying thesis of this website I want to urge some epistemic skepticism. Many people who have been looking into this subject for years are saying they didn't know some of this material even existed. Maybe it didn't.

Although I am open to the underlying thesis of this video I want to urge some epistemic skepticism. Many people who have been looking into this subject for years are saying they didn't know this footage even existed. Maybe it didn't.

Ok but then why was Nikita Bier saying they were going to do this?
clanky··on Iran's flag emoji is replaced (X.com / Twemoji)
X is a tool of Western intelligence. The level of algo boosting for "the people of Iran are about to free themselves!" videos has been off the charts. JK Rowling and John Cleese are flogging it.

It's classic MindWar tactics of the sort that were pioneered by Michael Aquino. Convince the enemy they've lost before the war even starts.

clanky··on Surveillance Watch – A map that shows connections between surveillance companies
It feels like ever since Snowden we've been watching and mapping and uncovering, and none of it has accomplished anything and it has only gotten worse. Why would I even care at this point what the exact topology looks like? It's much more straightforward just to operate from the assumption that absolutely everything I do on an electronic device (and much of my biometric activity within close proximity of those devices) is transparent, visible, catalogued, and archived.

We don't need more maps to this stuff. We need to seize the hard drives, gather any evidence of venal or traitorous motives on the part of the executives and decision-makers who built the systems, and take sledgehammers to the drives and servers and hard drives and recording devices and Flock cameras and all the rest.

In reply to your after-the-fact edit: Hasbara is specifically an Israeli/Zionist phenomenon, not a Jewish one.

Sure

But what occupiers are you referring to in the context of Iran?

My original post up there has 8 upvotes at this point so no, no I don't think I will.

Well it only took 4 hours but there's the flag.

Okay fine:

Do I have evidence of a high level criminal conspiracy to which I have access to none of the tools or methods that could possibly obtain evidence, evidence that if it did exist would surely put my own life in danger?

No, no I do not.

Unfortunately many of these people revel in hypocrisy, and believe it makes them superior that they are willing to use it when others aren't. Nevertheless always worth pointing out!

Thank you for having the courage to post this. It's a relief to see that others understand we're not going to make it out of this by remaining silent.

You would think the fact that the ICE goons aren't actually being used for deportations would make these people start to question what they're actually for, but I guess if they were capable of that they never would have believed something like "migrants are the cause of America's economic problems" in the first place.

If it's helpful to note, Twitter was always intended to become what it has become. We need to return to organizing our own networks free of this control.

Yep. Iran was quite restrained in their attacks during the 12 Day War -- hopefully they made their point about their true nature to any Western observers who aren't completely plugged into the propaganda matrix. This time they need to shove 4 hypersonics right up Unit 8200's ass.

John Cleese, JK Rowling, and Eric Weinstein are all flogging this on X, it's hilarious. They've got all their best old codgers on the case!

It's about putting an unaccountable army of masked goons on American streets.

Yes in America you can have your pick of Pepsi Agenda or Coke Agenda as long as you don't do something like organize protests in Ferguson, at which point you will be murdered in your car and your death reported on page 30 of the newspaper.

It was completely impossible to post anything about Gaza on here through the entire course of the genocide.

It's not necessarily "right-wing" per se, for example during COVID questioning the party line on masks and vaccines could catch you massive downvotes and flagging. It's this technocratic neoliberal cryptofascist thing the people who have always actually run Silicon Valley adhere to.

I was shocked (and a little spooked) that this was allowed to remain unflagged: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46515191

> seems more like conspiracy theory

This is a very good demonstration of the epistemic purpose of this term and the uses it is put to.

It's funny, David Brin used to flog the idea of "sousveillance," meaning that mass surveillance was inevitable and couldn't be reformed but we could use it to hold the elite accountable. What a joke.

> The world may by some people's estimation be better without the deceased in it

The world would be better without those people in it.
