This is sort of a refinement of the Farsight ethos. I don't really want to talk about Harvey and the board meetings and Ebonique and all this weird stuff that doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

However: I just want to boil down two political agendas afoot.

Smart cities are not a theory. The idea that people everywhere have no real sense of agency and basically live day to day on task based operations with zero real rights or property. Information is heavily controlled, and neighbors know almost nothing about one another. Furthermore, the aggressive destruction of cities to make way for this plan. Energy weapons burning down (yes with people in them) it's not make believe. So what's the counterstrike?

Media? By itself: Garbage. Just making people talk about it won't be effective. Riots? Too disorganized. Easy for the hypnotized slave military to shut it down.

But. The last real fear of the free world arising is the rogue nations with nuclear weapons. They are not the enemy, or the hero. They are an anomaly, both difficult to contain and rampant by themselves. The Enslavers want them contained of course, so they have a strategy. But that involves another volatile solution which is bunker busters. Now the population is not controlled by direct enslavement, just indirect implications. "yes the NASA pictures are fake because they have to be. Money has no benchmark because it has to. Protection is secret because it has to be. Global domination is necessary because neutral is dangerous" ... etc etc.

So if you throttle some of their indirect controls, the system goes out of wack. Specifically: the rogue nuke silos, met with aggressive Bunker busting. "Oh but wait try to just get the silos, ok? Not the underground cities." Well. What if you get the zombies a little too paranoid, and their counter-meaaure a little too aggressive.

Such a plan is bound to involve a fair bit of civilian death. But the result would be apocalyptic in the revelatory traditional sense of the word. Hades / occult - all ancient terms for a hidden underground.

Internet coverage of such revelations would still be crucial. For example if everyone depends on an ISP, it could theoretically get covered back up. But if just a solid number of people had peer to peer (routers that are LAN compatible and actively used as such) , you would potentially have just enough exposure and not as much control.

And yes, the threat of riots and massive decline in military / police / weapon-manufacture sign-ups would be relevant.

If you take nothing away from this thread, let it be this.

*Hold a LAN based router system with neighbors. Some idiots are going to mock this, let them.

*Maintain some sort of land. Here's a key. If you pay tax on it you don't own it, it's that simple. There is still an underlying legal system that lets you truly Sojourn the land (I'm not looking for exact semantics, look, own in terms of Oxford definitions k?)

*Some arms. I'm not saying a gun is protection against alien lazers or something. I'm saying the primary weapon against you is confused humans.

*Get on the political "Bunker busting" bandwagon. Not because it's the ideology of moral purity, but because it's the card that works. Sure, stay on the "catastrophic Exposure" bandwagon too. I don't care if that means you have to get on the trump train. I don't care if it's "'Merica first" or the sort of opposite like: "China reigns!" as long as it's about aggressive Bunker busting.

Or you can think I'm a rambling lunatic, well I didn't charge you money so what do you expect 😉
