Wayback Machine Latest Victim Of Deep State / Big Tech Censorship

 

In what is turning out to be something of a latter-day dot com bust, many small to medium-sized tech startups are teetering on the edge of oblivion as the deliberate economic shutdown eats away at their capitalization and opens the door for the biggest fish in the tech space and others to pick the ripest fruit from the tech start up tree.

As opposed to the original, this start up bust is accompanied by a very precise view of market opportunities for interested buyers and investors, brought on by an equally deliberate reshaping of workplace conditions and societal interactions which are driving companies like Microsoft to “aggregate capabilities” in “cloud computing, collaboration, access management, and other business continuity tools that saw a surge in demand during regional lockdowns.”

The ride-share behemoth, Uber, for example, is reportedly in talks to acquire Grubhub and expand its food-delivery operations, while Microsoft just completed its purchase of robotic automation company, Softomotive. One global research and advisory firm that focuses on IT and finance has even put out a guide “on how tech startups can best prepare for being acquired by a larger company,” revealing that just 13 companies accounted for a full 60 percent of the $150 billion raised by tech startups between March and April.

Signs that yet another massive wave of consolidation in the technology sector is on the horizon and is already raising concerns throughout the industry, but the fact that it is occurring in tandem with a larger push by outfits like Twitter, Facebook and other huge tech players to stifle freedom of online expression and association should make us pay closer attention to the dynamics at play.

Censorship creep

Under the guise of facilitating conversation, Twitter unveiled changes to the reply feature that ostensibly gives users more control, but in reality, it broadens the ability to censor content. The new format, still in testing mode, will allow users to select who can and cannot reply to their tweets. This, of course, presents a serious problem from the vantage point of free flowing interaction and gives even more power to the most popular accounts to stifle undesirable feedback, leaving their viewpoints publicly unchallenged.

Another seemingly innocuous development in the last few days was the announcement made by popular podcaster Joe Rogan on his move to Spotify. The comedian and UFC commentator’s immensely popular podcast has been freely available on YouTube and other platforms since its inception, but his multi-million-dollar exclusive licensing deal with the music platform will further cloister content behind a single outfit and likely diminish its reach and propagation.

Perhaps the most concerning, however, are the changes taking place at one of the most important research tools on the Internet and, up to now, a venerable tool for online transparency: The Wayback Machine.

Content that the elite find inconvenient is disappeared from the Wayback Machine.  In the search results you can sometimes see a forest of spikes over the time line of WM sampling/preservation yet when you go to a particular instance of S/P you see a blank video screen with a message something like “We don’t have a stored instance of this item.”

Sure.  WM sampled and preserved it like crazy as its timeline of “hit” shows but somehow nothing got saved.  I believe that.

Government does nothing about tech giant censorship because it’s a way for the government to avoid the problems with the First Amendment.  Get a “private” entity (with government contracts reaching to the heavens) to destroy free speech and the government is good to go.  Honest opinion, analysis and speculation based on what little “secret” info is made available — necessitating speculation let it be said — becomes “disinformation,” as though adults are incapable of sniffing out the garbage.

The UK and the US have their “Integrity Initiative,” 77th Brigade, the BBC, White Helmets, the VOA, Chemonics, Crowdstrike, Cambridge Analytica, Avaaz, Purpose, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Dept. of State, the Atlantic Council, Human Rights Watch, the Washington Institute for the Near East Policy, the NYT, Wapo, CNN, USAID, Bell Pottinger, the OPCW, and the Democrat and Republican parties spew disinformation by the trainload but watch out for Joe Schmidlap in Dubuque, y’all.  A scheming disinfo artiste who has the Russian Embassy on speed dial.

We can spend future decades tinkering at the edges of what has given us this deep state swamp over past decades.

Or, we can focus on what has enabled the elite swamp to be seeded in our legal and financial systems; and, ultimately, to get itself declared equivalent to a Natural Person under Law, although it was only Property; and, to make its Money more powerful that Human Votes within our legislatures; and, ultimately, to neuter our democratic constitution; all of which, has rendered us nations of disenfranchised paupers standing at the edge of slaverry.

We need to take a hatchet and a blow torch to Citizens Unitedll the rest of these crypto – Marxist “defenders od democracy,” and, change radically the existing legal definitions of Corporate Standing.

That hatchet and that blow torch must come in the form of constitutional laws that state explicitly that a Corporation is “Property”; and, is, explicitly, NOT a “Person”; and, that a Corporation is explicitly, not equivalent, or comparable, to living, voting itizens, who are always Sovereign and Supreme within American Constitutional Jurisdiction.

Secondly, that Constitutional amendment must state explicitly that no Corporation shall have legal standing to be present in our legislatures for the making of NEW Law, unless summoned by the legislature; but, shall have full legal standing to be present within any and all Administrative Forums for the purpose of representing Corporate Interests under EXISTING Law.

Thirdly, these laws must state explicitly that corporate crimes that transgress upon; and impair legally established rights and liberties shall NOT be overruled by corporate policy; but, shall be punished by revocation of corporate licence.

If at any time over the past four decades, lawmakers had found the intellectual and moral courage to impose such laws and had appointed suitably qualified and experienced people to oversee the policing of Big Tech companies, we would not today have vertically integrated corporate monopolies involved in every aspect of our economies and societies, Corporate Lobbyists would NOT today influence every significant entity of national life and, we would not be disenfranchines by misinformation, content filtering and targeted ads. We would all have a reasonable chance of informing ourselves of what is going on in the world.

Without those changes to the way our nations are governed, made necessary by the planned shifting of the the major way we communicate information from print and broadcast news to The Internet, a medium that is so friendly to censorship and control of information it might have been designed with that purpose in mind, anything that our present leadership  achieves today to submit Corporate Power to the will of voters will be annulled almost immediately by changes to the algorithms.

Make no Mistake, this narrative might sound esoteric, or tangential; but, the people behind the Corporate Monopoly Power, that only recently gave us Citizens United, had the Moral and Intellectual wherewithal to spend the last hundred and fifty years working to put Citizens United in Place.

We must now know what we must do to reverse it; or, in a hundred and fifty years our Constitutional Rights will not even be a reference in any future version of The Way Back Machine.

10 Steps to Turn a Pandemic into the Brave New Normal

An op – ed from Catte Black (sounds like a fake name someone who doesn’t want to be identified might use,) in OffGuardian.

Picture: OffGuardian

Now, dear reader, I know you’re not a member of an institutionally sociopathic elite caste, trying to extend your power back to the good old days of supreme monarchs ordained by God himself.

But imagine you were.

Imagine you were one of the richest people to ever exist, and your vast network of wealth and influence was based on some imaginary money and the widely cultivated belief that “there is no alternative”.

Now imagine the lies which secure your position are suddenly and violently challenged. Imagine Yellow Vested protests in the streets of Paris, an independence referendum in Catalonia. Anti-globalists, on the left and right, surging in popularity all around the world.

Imagine Brexit and Bitcoin and PirateBay and the myriad tiny ways people won’t do what they’re told.

What you’re suffering from is a loss of control of the narrative. What you need, really, is a new story. Something to instil everyone with a sense of common purpose. To cause fear and panic, and distract them and keep them busy.

You need a threat, something that will make everyone “come together”. To put aside “divisions” and “hate” and all work together to face a “common enemy”

And enemies, like cakes and lemonade, are always far more satisfying when you make them yourself.

Here are the 10 steps you should employ, if you want to turn an unthreatening virus into a global power grab … Continue reading >>>

 

Brave New Normal – Part 2

y columns haven’t been very funny recently. This one isn’t going to be any funnier. Sorry. Fascism makes me cranky.

I don’t mean the kind of fascism the corporate media and the fake Resistance have been desperately hyping for the last four years. God help me, but I’m not terribly worried about a few hundred white-supremacist morons marching around with tiki torches hollering Nazi slogans at each other, or Jewish-Mexican-American law clerks flashing “OK” signs on TV, or smirking schoolkids in MAGA hats.

I’m talking about actual, bona fide fascism, or totalitarianism, if you want to get technical. The kind where governments declare a global “state of emergency” on account of a virus with a 0.2% to 0.6% lethality (and that causes mild, flu-like symptoms, or absolutely no symptoms whatsoever, in over 97% of those infected), locks everyone down inside their homes, suspends their constitutional rights, terrorizes them with propaganda, and unleashes uniformed goon squads on anyone who doesn’t comply with their despotic decrees.

I’m talking about the kind of totalitarianism where the police track you down with your smartphone data and then come to your house to personally harass you for attending a political protest, or attack you for challenging their illegitimate authority, and then charge you with “assault” for fighting back, and then get the media to publish a story accusing you of having “set up” the cops.

I’m talking about the kind of totalitarianism where the secret police are given carte blanche to monitor everyone’s Internet activity, and to scan you with their “surveillance helmets,” and dictate how close you can sit to your friends, and menace you with drones and robot dogs, and violently pry your kids out of your arms and arrest you if you dare to protest.

I’m talking about the kind of totalitarianism that psychologically tortures children with authoritarian loyalty rituals designed to condition them to live in fear, and respond to absurd Pavlovian stimuli, and that encourages the masses to turn off their brains and mechanically repeat propaganda slogans, like “wear a mask” and “flatten the curve,” and to report their neighbors to the police for having an “illegal” private party … and to otherwise reify the manufactured mass hysteria the authorities need to “justify” their totalitarianism.

Yeah, that kind of stuff makes me cranky. Continue reading

A Rant Against Renewed Climate Change Scaremongering

If I have to hear one more emotive plea from Pippi Longstocking lookalike Greta Thunberg about how my lifestyle is destroying the planet, or watch one more ugly, unwashed Extintion Rebellion crusty talking about how we the people must make sacrifices (so the elites can continue to fly around the world by private jet,) I’m going to fill Leonardo di Caprio’s trousers with cold porridge and make him wear them all day. I don’t believe CO2 will destroy the planet by the end of next week, you probably don’t either but opinion makers do, because it suits their material interests to persuade our social classes to volunteer for genocide, and that view is backed by political propaganda and mainstream media.

Look at the paens of praise that go up in response to news that China is building more wind turbines than any other nation. The news is presented as if China has ‘seen the light’ and committed in full to Kyoto, Copenhagen, Paris and all the other meaningless accords and agreements.

If fact China has seen a light, but a very different light to the one the west is looking at, they see a civilisation prepared to destroy itself for the mythical goal of ‘saving the planet,’ a planet that is perfectly capable of saving itself BTW, whether our descendants are around to enjoy it or not. And the Chinese see an opportunity to take advantage of our collective wallowing in guilt and end the dominance of the western nations. Russia is playing the same game, and our political elites, for the sake of creating a politically correct monoculture, are helping them.

The Green blob are wrong to blame us, we are not hypocrites but too many of us are prepared to believe what we are told, that consumption is good, that our lives will be enhanced if we have the latest iPhone (how many new versions have been launched in that brand’s short life,) that a new computer running Windows 10 will do all our thinking for us when in fact Windows XP wil do everything 90% of users want, and the power users will probably not be working on Microsoft’s clunky products. but people will probably have bought 3 new computers since XP was launched.

We are all being pushed towards electric cars “to save the planet” to the extent that not long ago the idiot Macron was being quoted as saying France will ban fossil fuel vehicles by 2040, a totally unrealistic target and unnecessary as research has shown over the whole life of a car from obtaining materials to scrapping and recycling, EVs have an only slightly smaller carbon footprint and manufacturing processes, particularly of the battery packs, dumps some very unpleasant chemicals in the environment in exchange for that small saving of harmless CO2. But there are an estimated 1.4 billion fossil fuelled cars in the world, and sales are falling not because large numbers of drivers are switching to EVs, (they’re too expensive and are inefficient, totally useless in a hilly area it seems,) but because people have rejected the planned obsolescence business model and are keeping their cars much longer. So the auto corporations and the tech corporations see future profits coming from scrapping those 1.4 billion conventional cars and replacing them with EVs.

If you want to blame someone for the state of the environment, blame the politicians, corporate businesses and the ‘scientists’ who have made all these polluting industries possible. And blame the organisations in government, business and advertising for promoting the lifestyles of the consumption led economy. But don’t blame the people for behaving in ways the propaganda has manipulated them to behave.

And get your yellow vest on (the protest movement is now entering its second year, get out and join the pushback. We can stop the global elites.

Vandalism versus Bacon

“The support shown by the ruling elites for the Islamisation of the west is more apparent in the unequal application of law, with far harsher sentences being handed out to Christian, Humanist or other persuasions than are imposed om Muslims for similar crimes.

Mainstream media are complicit in this of course, playing down the imbalance between criminality rates in various minority communities. As Marcus Tullius Cicero said over 2000 years ago, “Ever since our ancestors came out of the hills and forests to live as civilized men, it has been understood there can only be one law and it must apply equally to all.”

If we lose sight of that principle of equality before the law in an orgy of left wing virtue signalling, we have lost everything.

“Teenager sentenced for ‘mindless vandalism’ that desecrated church,” by Jenny Loweth, Telegraph & Argus, October 15, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A teenager who was warned by a judge that he was at risk of going to custody for his part in “mindless vandalism” that desecrated a church has been sentenced to a 12-month community order.

Muhammed Mughal, 18, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to criminal damage at All Saints Church, Highfield Lane, Keighley, on December 3 last year.

Mughal, of Cliffe Street, Keighley, was one of a group of youths who did £200 damage to the church, prosecutor Philip Adams told Bradford Crown Court.

They got into the building through an insecure fire door and committed “mindless vandalism.”

Distraction and diversion are always used to control the narrative. Look how quickly a news story that threatened the credibility of the political establishment and global elite has been swept under the carpet and forgotten. Makes you wonder what else is being hiddeen behind the smokescreen of war, civil unrest, humanitarian crises that never end or existential threats to civilization.

There is No Climate Emergency Say 500 Climate Scientists

We’ve been saying it since this blog began in 2005 and before, the Climate Change scare is part of a power grab by the global elites who, unterstanding that Marxism is the most elitist political philosophy since the Patricians ruled The Roman Empire, have embraced Cultural Marxism and want to enslave us all in a global, bureaucratic dictatorship.

Well OK, that’s maybe a bit extreme, but we all like to attract traffic to our blogs and sensationalism is as god a way as any. The basic premise holds true though: the unanimity of opinion on climate change, its effects and causes is not just exaggerated, not even a myth, it’s a fairy story as this report demonstrates …

500 Scientists Write U.N.: ‘There Is No Climate Emergency’


Picture: Getty images via Breitbart.com

authored by Thomas D Williams PhD for Breitbart.com

More than 500 scientists and professionals in climate and related fields have sent a “European Climate Declaration” to the Secretary-General of the United Nations asking for a long-overdue, high-level, open debate on climate change.

Just as 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg addressed the U.N. Climate Action Summit in New York accusing world leaders of robbing her of her future, scientists were begging the United Nations to keep hysteria from obscuring facts.

“Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific,” the declaration states. “Scientists should openly address the uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real benefits as well as the imagined costs of adaptation to global warming, and the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of mitigation.”

The scientists underscored the importance of not rushing into enormously expensive climate action before fully ascertaining the facts.

“There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent,” they declared. “However, CO2-mitigation measures are as damaging as they are costly. For instance, wind turbines kill birds and bats, and palm-oil plantations destroy the biodiversity of the rainforests.”

The signatories of the declaration also insist that public policy must respect scientific and economic realities and not just reflect the most fashionable frenzy of the day.
