It seems like anything critical of the deep state get immediately downvoted here and then floats back up after a certain time. There also no argument given as to why the downvotes occur. Maybe downvotes with substantive replys should carry more weight?
And theres always shareblue monitoring forums, which is deeply embedded with spooks.
Unelecteds heavily vote democrat/big government because of job security. They don't care about your rights hence pro-FISA. As a matter of fact it appears many of them believe your rights are afforded to you by the government, which seems very totalitarian.
If the President is elected, and the President holds the power to staff the executive branch (subject to the approval of Congress and the restraints on arbitrary exercise of the CSA of 1883 and CSRA of 1978), then in what sense is the bureaucracy uncontrolled by the electorate?
Or do I misunderstand the American system of government?
Many geosync orbits trace an asymmetrical 8 on the ground that looks like a keyhole. That's where the name comes from, from programs older than the TK sats.
"The CORONA satellites were designated KH-1, KH-2, KH-3, KH-4, KH-4A and KH-4B. KH stood for "Key Hole" or "Keyhole" (Code number 1010),[7] with the name being an analogy to the act of spying into a person's room by peering through their door's keyhole"
I saw that too but noticed that the claim didn't have a reference. That is what brought me to the NRO PDF, which ties the designation KH of the satellites to the Talent Keyhole security designation on page 15 [0]. One of the confusing parts is that the early Corona didn't have a KH designation initially because the Keyhole compartment wasn't created until 1960 [1]. Maybe the Keyhole compartment's name came from the analogy?
1. In 1960, it was broadened to cover all national aerial reconnaissance (to later include SR-71 sourced imagery) and the KEYHOLE compartment was created for satellite intelligence.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitive_compartmented_inform... compartment%20was%20created
Wonder if subsea map will ever be released like Google Maps. It's something I always wanted to see. I suppose it's more of national security threat since it allows adversaries to plot up subsurface routes, and can't exactly blur out features without giving away importance like on Google maps. Unless they're deliberately tampered to cause confusion... maybe that's enough motivation to release. Get foreign subs to bonk on undersea cliffs.
As a former eth miner and now crypto un-enthusiast, i was attracted to the idea of contract disruption and value transfers utilizing blockchain but ever since the entire industry has become scams, wall street and *bros, yeah I'd love to see it all crash and burn. Exposing tether would be a great start.
Yeah, no, the hate of crypto stems from a fairly well grounded understanding of the technology here. BTW, the good folks at FT Alphaville also mostly hate crypto - there, it stems from a good understanding of finance. Basically, everyone that understands the tech/finance intersection reasonably well hates crypto, with one important caveat best expressed by Upton Sinclair nearly a century ago:
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”
Its so crazy, and I've lived in rural areas, been hunting in Ozark woods, I've never gotten bit by a tick. A friend of mine was literally covered in them one day after shooting stuff, he put one on my hand and it jumped off. Needless to say he was jealous.
All of those before the simulation, seem like fairly useful metaphors, that describe something real about the world.
Indeed, there are many things about the world that go in cycles. Indeed, much of how the world behaves can be seen as acting according to exact, “mechanical”, rules (like, the laws of physics), etc. .
On the bright side, finding out that we are all in a simulation would at least provide the answer to the perennial question about the meaning of life, dohohoho.
There's a nice website, I've seen on HN before, that has a complete list of crypto scams and their total value. I wonder what the overall percentage of crypto transactions are for scams? 50%? more?
The only reason crypto is allowed is because it literally sucks money out of the real economy thus tamping down inflation.
> I wonder what the overall percentage of crypto transactions are for scams? 50%? more?
Less than 5% according to the companies like Chainalysis who have a vested interest in making crypto seem dangerous so they can hock their product (analysis tools) to law enforcement.
Money is (almost)* never sucked out of the economy with crypto, real or not because with every transaction, money comes out from the seller’s side. Same goes for real estate, stocks, and commodities.
*Exceptions:
-Broken stablecoin smart contacts or stablecoin wallets with lost private keys.
