HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT THREAD:

Imagine that you could throw a spanner in the works of Big Tech tracking you and everyone you know, and that you could do it for free, and in seconds.

Would you do it? Are you ready to make change?

We're gonna find out. Read the thread, friends.

1/ Image Today our team introduced Panquake Me, a one-click free service available NOW that transforms the links you share online by:

* Shortening your link
* Cleaning nasty Big Tech web trackers out of it
* Archiving the original content

Behold the cuteness:

Ppl constantly ask me for my opinion on what is going on. When I give it, many assume I am coming from a fixed position. Actually, every single day I consume the following:

Fox, CNN, ABC, NBC, BBC, DW (German), Kyiv Independent, NZ Herald, TASS, PBS, RT

+ @ASBMilitary & co

1/? I also watch all the press conferences, be they pro or anti Western position

When you review such a spectrum of media content on a regular basis you see the way single events are skewed not just by one of two sides, but by every single outlet

They ALL have their own slants

Here it is! January Public Delivery Thread!

Sorry this is a couple of days late due to IRL hiccups with filming but the presentation was prepared on time so all stats are accurate as of Jan 31st

Read on for all the news about our progress over the course of the last month

1/ We are in Phase 3 (of 3) for funding @Panquake. Once we hit the target, we won't need to fundraise anymore & BETA will be delivered!

We're still accepting BETA applications here: panquake.com/5000

@tl_eng catapulted forward with @seanodiggity's GETTR investigation

Went to check out GETTR.

First thing I see: the site uses tracking cookies.
Second thing I see: it collects email addresses & phone numbers.
Third thing I see: Advertising on its dashboard.

That isn't alternative social media.

It's the same old data surveillance rehashed. Having a closer look. Here's their privacy policy. Which is basically an anti-privacy policy.

GETTR is registered in the United States & thus subject to US jurisdiction.

So, it's Parler 2.0.

Last week, we hit our Phase 2 funding target of 167k and launched Phase 3, where we will raise an additional 500k to complete the service delivery of the product. More details about this later.

Incidentally, to celebrate Phase 3 I got some cool new graphic templates :P

This Twitter thread is going to raise half a million dollars

Panquake Phase 3 - Final Funding Round!

In Phase 1 & 2 you helped us establish a multi-national company & funded our BETA product build

NEXT: we'll fund hiring & training support staff & launching/marketing Panquake! Each time a Phase 3 donation is made, I will announce it on this thread.

This thread will remain pinned to the top of my timeline until Phase 3 is complete, so that our many thousands of supporters can keep track of our progress!

Who would like to kick this off? :D

Anti-competitive behaviour, a genuine mistake or AI incompetence?

The platform you're using right now granted the platform we are building a new name

Then when we used it, instantly & "permanently" banned BOTH our old & new account

Will they fix it? That's up to you. Retweet! It is the nature of the AI beast that prevented me from using any keywords that might stop the above tweet being seen.

But here's the receipts..

THREAD

I see you and I hear you:

Everyone who is seeing the writing on the wall and screaming for Panquake even more urgently than ever before

So here is a few notes about what is happening with the project right now behind closed doors....

1/
The reason I am so quiet on Twitter is because we are busy accelerating the Panquake build to our maximum capacity. Our dev team (which spans 5 time zones) spends hours & hours every day implementing functionality, building out infrastructure, documenting & release planning

Nearly everyone understands how dire the world situation is & how dark the future is but far fewer connect those realities to an extremely advanced underlying system of control that exists to ensure that no one - individual, organisation or population - can diverge from this path What I am telling you is that we are living in the net effect of that system having control. Some will tell you that system is capitalism, others will say it is technocratic, or geocentric, or just a moral deficiency, the nature of humankind, but it's not - its an architecture

PSA: Talk Liberation Investigates is currently working on #WLDragnet Part Two

A long form deep dive investigative piece exposing Pentagon & DoD contractors, US Air Force Cyber Command & private sector

Throughout this process we're being attacked & smeared relentlessly online. Hashtags we post to are bombarded for hours on end with the most depraved lies imaginable, to the tune of 100s of smear tweets per day.

Our reputations are attacked. Our friends & colleagues are being smeared just for knowing us. Every possible tactic is employed to distract us

THREAD: Now complete, w/ new images, evidence & quotes:

#WLDragnet Part 1. Social Media Mercenaries: CIA & DoD-connected Organizations Mapping WikiLeaks Supporters
talkliberation.substack.com/p/wikileaksjul…

Part 2: Social Media Mass Surveillance COMING SOON!

Key Pt 1 findings in the below thread How vast is the US-led intelligence operation targeting WikiLeaks? To whom was ex-CIA Director Mike Pompeo referring when he coined the phrase ‘Assange and his ilk’?

These are the initial questions addressed in this groundbreaking series from @tl_eng by myself & @seanodiggity

Some quick points you should know about the current status of #WLDragnet

* Our most significant, far-reaching evidence & conclusions are not yet in the piece but will be soon

* We worked day & night on this release to try & prepare it ASAP, but the scope of it is enormous

1/
* Remaining to come: comprehensive testimonies of affected WL supporters, data analysis related to that & trail of evidence that leads far beyond NodeXL or Graphika & straight to US military agencies targeting Julian

* The implications/impact is global & not limited to WL

Dear @KiwibankNZ

As a foundation customer & a business owner I need to know when your IT department is going to UNBLOCK your international customers like me from accessing our own accounts & our funds

You haven't tweeted in days & I still can't access my accounts a WEEK later Image That means:

1. I can't access account balances
2. I can't transfer money between accounts
3. I can't pay staff
4. I can't make international money transfers

And I have ZERO word from you on when this will be fixed. Not good enough.

Full thread below detailing all the news, updates, progress & more of our incredible next generation social media development project!

Follow along with me and please share to help spread the news that it's out :) Video link at end of thread Thanks to the generous support of our community, Panquake now employs 9 full time staff! We've regained all the ground we lost from PayPal censoring us & withholding our funds, & we've raised another $4,551 on top of that, picking up 127 new donors & 113 new @pan_quake followers

We didn't hire a PR team or ad agency. PQ started w/ just volunteers then slowly hired devs, designers & other staff over time as our crowdfunding grew

We're ppl-powered & not corporate-powered which makes us responsive. So ask me anything, I'll respond!

The short answer to what Panquake does, is it's a short messaging system.

Gives you a few more characters than Twitter, but doesn't allow paid advertising, moderation is visible to the whole network, content is published on blockchain so you can prove it hasn't been messed with
