Well over 200 retweets for I'm greatly heartened. I've been a more or less lone voice in the wilderness on these issues for years, the dark green/digital link, and now everyone has arrived. The weak signals are strong now.

Welcome to the battle group.
Let me outline the cultural spot I occupy. 1st I really know renewable energy: I worked on rmi.org/insight/small-… 2nd I really know crypto: first year being paid 100% in digital cash was 1999. 3rd I really know refugees hexayurt.com/hexayurt_count… hard realism is the house style.
I spent 2002 to 2014 working on a wide variety of existential risk projects, usually with senior military leaders. Also deep work with charities. You can read about that period of my life here vice.com/en_uk/article/… this is all a lot easier now that more people have woken up.

@disitinerant @BretWeinstein A 1200 apartment block of SF would most probably be owned by a REIT which, in turn, is likely to be owned by a en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pension_f…

The billionaires Vs the multi millionaires *doesn't affect most of us at all* - the real bleeding is lower down the pyramid.
@disitinerant @BretWeinstein The real damage isn't done by Bill Gates or a handful of people that own vast seas of stuff. It's all paper money, and the underlying assets are used the same way as any other PLC.

It's the vast middle class and their political power which keeps the poor poor. The rich distract
@disitinerant @BretWeinstein The System is suburbia and the local landowners with $50m in assets, not a few astroid-sized outliers. It's the vast herd of top 10% that do the real pushing and the real beating down.

That's why we need systemic politics, not just an occasional French Revolution, to fix it all.

There's a funny thing I keep noticing. Really good stuff comes at two price points: *cheap* but you have to really do some digging, and 10x the price, and you just type it into google. Let me post a couple of examples in this short thread.
Fountain pens for a tenner google.com/search?ei=zigk… but it doesn't sing until you add ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr… total system cost below £15, and writes as well as anything you're going to come across. But the supply chain is fragile. Edge of a trade network, wobbly shipping, comms.
Backpacks, compare amazon.co.uk/AI-ONE-Tactica… to leaf.arcteryx.com/ch/en/shop/ass… These things are *remarkably* similar in basic concept, if not in materials and execution. One of them is 15x the price of the other. But there's a sea of 1900 molle packs which are in that general format.

There is no denying the entire crypto world has gotten a solid punch in the head for irrational exuberance. It's not the first time we've seen this, dotcoms went through it too. Then they took over the world, and began to bat on a peer level with nation states (see: Zuckerberg.)
And, let me tell you, it's a lousy time to be @mattereum. Massive, wonderful press coverage right at a time when half of our investors catch pneumonia. techcrunch.com/2018/11/11/mat… These are those rough times entrepreneurs look back at later, and then order two more drinks. :-/ hard!
Here's Fred Wilson from the last bitcoin crash avc.com/2015/02/the-ca… talking about Carlotta Perez and how crashes are integral to the innovation cycle. We've been here before: note how short the crash-rebuild cycle is compared to the dotcoms. We have *much* faster clocks today.

A thread about how to beat twitter censorship & tweet suppression if you are on the right and tweet about politics, I have been testing this through various threads so let’s beat them at their own game, now it is time to share the knowledge and see if I am proved correct. 1/10
My last thread deliberately avoided the use of any hashtags, after a single tweet I wrote (also containing no hashtags) received almost a thousand retweets and well over a thousand likes. This is because Twitter can monitor hashtags more easily. 2/10
If you are going to talk about a certain religion, never refer to it directly, everyone will know what you mean though, in exactly the same way you should always tweet about grooming gangs without mentioning where they come from, as again everyone already knows this. 3/10

Okay, buckle up kids, I’m going to tell you an amazing story of love, Fate, weirdness, hope, and how living with my Strange Metaphysics™️ ended up bringing me to exactly where I needed to be, and thus here Tweeting to you all on this humid AF Saturday afternoon in June. 1/
So I think the best place to start is: in the late 90s, I was the frontman for a rock band called Broken Messiah, & we’d just finished recording an EP. I was living in Maine at the time, with my best friend/bass player Chris. And as @Nirvana was one of our biggest influences, 2/
we had wanted to go to Seattle and try to “make it” there, like so many other bands at the time. I’d already been, to play at a tribute concert of a CD comp I’d been on(photo), but Chris hadn’t. We decided, because why not, to hitchhike there: to make a journey out of it. 3/

Haven't U wondered why HC funneled 300k to the McCabe family? Haven't U wondered why Turner placed client privilege files on these laptops to prevent the agents from viewing the files on the laptops?

So many laws were broken in this cover-up. Imagine if you had done this, the D's would call for your hanging

God - The bottom of the rabbit-hole.

We have spoken about the Deep State, we delved further into the Luciferian stuff, and now, the final frontier is God. Understanding this will make everything else make perfect sense

....

#qanon
1st, know that all religions have been hijacked by the Luciferian Cult so we have been fed invalid information. These Luciferians have also found a way to "disconnect" us from God. Fluoride was one way because our Pineal Gland is like an antenna that downloads info from God.

..
The God of fear, anger, jealousy, ect... is another gimmick the Luciferians laid on us by altering the Old Testament. Erase that entirely from memory & imagine God being LOVE incarnate. The only thing love incarnate ever does is love. Nothing more, nothing less.
