Hey so Michael Flynn is continuing to openly embrace the non-Christian "Church Universal & Triumphant" / I AM cult. We told you last year this was the gold-obsessed cult behind all this crap, and it's still true.
Here's info on CUT. Malcolm Forbes sold his Montana ranch to Elizabeth Clare Prophet.

And if you have not read up on the "I AM" cult, where Prophet got her ideas from, please educate yourself.

And lastly, know that the gold-obsessed Ballards ripped off William Dudley Pelley's "Silver Shirts" cult when he created his knock-off version, "I AM."

American fascism is nothing new. We're just dealing with its 21st century adherents.

Now that we are talking about getting FB to meet a bare minimum standard of not HARMING society, I’ll throw out the next demand: do something to HELP it.

FB (and don’t get cocky, Twitter, you’re next) possess massive datasets that can be used to better society…
To better understand and improve issues like racial division, income inequality, violence, and upward mobility.

If local city governments had access to insights derivable from social datasets, policy could be dramatically improved.

Obviously, people have privacy concerns…
However, making data available in anonymized or summarized forms to trusted parties is more than doable, and standard practice.

And let’s be real: why should FB/TW know more about our cities than *we* do? It’s uneconomic and unreasonable to ask others to duplicate this data.

BGP is how the Internet knows where to find IP addresses.

DNS is how it turns domain names into IP addresses.

FB screwed up their BGP, which erased their servers — including their DNS servers — from the Internet.

So, temporarily, it appeared that FB didn’t exist at all.
BGP = Border Gateway Protocol. It handles routing between “Autonomous Systems” (really, big blocks of IP addresses) by telling routers which other router to go to to find specific big blocks.
DNS = Domain Name System. Without it, we would access everything online by IP address. DNS makes the Internet human friendly-ish. Anytime you use a domain name, on the web, email, whatever, you rely on DNS. If it is screwed up, you can’t use domain names.

1/🧵 💵 The US dollar is being held hostage. If we fail to raise (or eliminate) the debt ceiling, the dollar will be crushed. Only psychopaths would let this happen; but similar hostage situations have occurred before.
2/In 1892-1896, funds were desperately needed to relieve the plight of farmers affected by drought in the American west. Gold-fetishists refused to endorse “bimetallism,” but which would increase money supply by adding silver as currency.

3/In 1933, Roosevelt needed funds to pay for the New Deal, but the US lacked sufficient gold to back proposed programs. So he decoupled the dollar from gold and banned hoarding it, by executive order. The New Deal proceeded, shortening the depression.

According to Epik's data, their top-earning domain was 'noprescriptioncontacts\.com'; the reason it received so much traffic is because they direct a TON of other domains to it via domain forwarding. Many of them are related to pedophilia and bestiality. Image
The below domains, of 7,243 total, redirected to 'noprescriptioncontacts\.com' and contributed to Epik's revenue stream. This at least gives some sense of one of their strategies for building traffic and revenue. And apparently pedophilia and bestiality are fine. Image
One table appears to show a list of domains that Epik brokered for sale via escrow. These were the top domains over $1M in apparent value. Image

Seriously, if you want to understand one major source of where QAnon sprang from, read this.

And also know that Ballard was ripping off William Dudley Pelley’s silvershirts who did fascist grifting before him. This all goes back ~150 years to Theosophy.

The part the article doesn’t mention is that it never went away. It flourishes in new forms, in Ojai, in Montana and the west, and via people like JZ Knight. It is *everywhere* when you dig into the networks behind QAnon.
A couple of people had trouble with the archive link; use this LA Times link instead.

I’m here at the US Capitol this morning to observe what, if anything, may happen here today. Word is this will be a quiet day. I will report anything newsworthy or notable on this thread. Image
Anemic showing so far. More cops and media than demonstrators. Also a lot of dump trucks and snowplows. ImageImageImage
LARP Moses is here. So far that’s about the most noteworthy development. He was talking about drinking beer. Image
