Adapting to the new electronic exiling
1/17/2021 | me

Posted on 01/17/2021 6:52:33 AM PST by dirtboy

It wasn’t enough to cut off Parler from App Stores and deplatform Parler from AWS. Now the CEO of Parler and his family has been driven into exile by death threats:

And exile is exactly what is being done to conservatives to varying degrees now. We can’t speak our minds without fear of job loss, banking cutoffs and physical intimidation. And when they get done with the big fish, they will start marching down the food chain. It's how fascists roll.

The left accuses us of secessionism, but how can exiles be secessionists when they have been driven from the public square?

We have to figure out three things, in this order:

1) How to initially adapt to this new reality of electronic (and sometimes economic and physical) exile.

2) How to build our own infrastructures to prevent electronic exile, and

3) How to use red state governments to start reversing these pressures.

Please add your comments – I do not pretend to have the answers, I only came up with these questions.

Realize that secession can now be electronic as well as physical, and the corporatists and the left are driving home that reality.

But more important: center-right outlets need their own web services and hosting companies. Go Daddy already knocked out AR-15.com — so its just Parler.

That is why I put in question 2 - how do we build our own infrastructure - including banking - that cannot be shut down?

Robert Unanue, Goya Foods President and CEO, said on Friday the political left has weaponized the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus to take away God, culture, history, and liberty from the people of the United States.

“The problem is it’s a political year. They weaponized coronavirus. Unfortunately, they shut down this economy. The worst thing we could do is shut down our economy, kill our spirit. We need a reason to get up in the morning: God, family, work. And they are taking away our spirit, they’re taking away our ability to work,” Unanue told Fox News on Jan. 15.

“We’re one nation under God. We’re not one nation under Twitter. We’re not one nation under big media and or under central government. We’re trying to have media, Big Tech control our lives, the government control our lives,” he said.

“They want to cancel God. They want to cancel our speech. They want to cancel our culture, our history, our liberty. They want to control us, the few controlling the many like a bunch of sheep. None of these people care about us, we can not move away from God. We need to love and to build, not hate and destroy,” he added.

They will only be able to push real American patriots so far, and then the real ugly will start. I seriously doubt that real Americans will roll over and let the liberal left pat their stomach while they destroy the liberty this Nation was founded on. England did it to their “subjects” long ago, and the lying left godless hoard thinks it is within reach here.

The government will shut down any competition, especially banking.

Tenino, Washington is doing a reprise of wooden money for its residents.

We were able to create and field a national resistance party in 2008-10. We can do it again. We had reliable lines of communication then though. We need that commo back up and running immediately if we're going to have any chance in this fight. If we hope to fight at all, we need commo.

"banking"

I doubt a banking system could be created as it involves too much trust (in both directions). Plus, any cash pile up or computer system could easily be raided by the regime of concern.

Any "legitimate" bank in the US must follow the regulations hence would not do you any good, unless you can create a legitimate one with a parallel system for patriots. Again though, one bust and it's over.

Perhaps the best bet would be to piggy back on existing systems, though these folks may be hard to find because there is no reason for them to trust you - how do they know you're not working undercover for the regime?

Over time, I have come to despise Google most of all, and have actually begun to fear its effect on mankind. I fear that effect because the vast majority of people out there who use Google view it as an unbiased font of information. And Google is heavily leveraging AI and and looking, as described in the "Selfish Ledger" video below, to use it in even broader and in my opinion, more sinister ways.

I have some professional experience with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its use, and one of the key points of using AI is to remove a block of human thought that might have to be used to make a decision, and to offload that "block of human thought" into an engine that can use AI to produce a result. That alone sounds bad, but AI in and of itself is not bad. Think of it as a black box where there is a relatively simply input (question) by a human, and a relatively simple output is produced by the AI machine. In the example I give below, the simple question by an ED physician might be "Who should I treat first in my Emergency Department?" could, with the assistance of AI and a LOT of other seemingly unrelated or complicated data inputs, be answered or at least have a suggestion created. So an ED physician, PA, or RN who is setting the priority or helping to set it might be aided by a AI generated list.

There are millions of options where AI might be used the help humans. For example (and I am just making this up) one of the key things that needs to be done in a hospital emergency room is to determine who needs to be seen first. We have to look at the person with a possible brain bleed before we address the person with a finger laceration that needs sutures. Highly trained and competent humans do this in their heads now, and it works generally well, but the efficiency and accuracy of that thought process can be affected by a lot of things ranging from a distracted ED physician because he is getting divorced, to a flood of trauma cases coming in.

Additionally, what might not appear to be a patient you need to examine right away could actually be a ticking time clock due to a variety of unseen things, medical history buried in the chart that is not seen, or factors in the patient's present state where the patient is heading for an unexpected crash, even though the patient is smiling at you from their chair in the waiting room.

There are various ways AI could be leveraged to help in the triage process. That smiling patient may have a complicated medical history that no human has taken the time to comb through, never mind correlating various factors that to a normal, even highly skilled ED doc, may be completely unknown. Using AI and deep learning to look for patterns unseen by humans (or not obvious to them) could generate a pick-list of priorities for the ED personnel that would use as a simple starting point.

The key is, AI and Deep Learning would used to assist a human, not make the decision. So AI has great promise.

But like all tools, there is a duality to it. In the same way that a hammer can be used to build a beautiful cabinet or to bash in someone's head, AI can be used for many useful things, as well as many bad or even evil things, as Google alludes to in its "Selfish Ledger" video.

I explain my deep concern about Google to people this way:


If you go to a library, and you ask the librarian for a specific book, she might offer (in her role as a librarian) to find it for you.

But instead, she returns with a completely different book which she fully expects you to accept instead of the one you asked for.

And when questioned, she says you are too young for that book, it was written by a 'disreputable' person, it has bad ideas in it, or...she simply thinks you should read the book she brought back for you instead, since that is more 'appropriate' for you.

Some people might scoff at that, but in defense I draw on Bill Whittle's criticism of Google based on their leaked internal video called The Selfish Ledger.

This video, not intended to be seen by other than the top executives at Google, was leaked to the public by an unknown employee.

Bill Whittle did a masterful video recently called The Stolen Election Part II: Stoners and Reptiles

The whole video is worth watching, but his interpretation and presentation of the Big Tech interference in the election is critical. Near the end, if you go to the 14 minute mark of the video, he discusses a video, created for top level Google executives (and meant only for their eyes) that was leaked to the public called "The Selfish Ledger".

Bill Whittle calls it the most frightening thing he has yet seen from the Left, and I agree with him.

It describes how Google views our "ledger" to be compiled by the compilation of our online activities into a "fingerprint" of who and what we are, and likens it to our DNA that identifies us, and how they wish to alter that DNA-like "Ledger" to manipulate people to "think the right way".

Chilling. Even though you sound like you understand this aspect of Google fully, I highly recommend it.

We’ll be lucky if we can get a nationwide communications setup up and running before 2010 let alone a new banking infrastructure. There’s also the problem that we aren’t on the best of terms with the GOP establishment. They don’t want us rising up again as we did in 2009. Underground newspapers, archaic as they may be, have been effective in the past but we would need underground newspapers in every state with distribution in a lot of major cities. I can see that working actually. That’s some serious resistance right there. Call it the “Free Republican”.

Try to support local businesses more and big box stores less.

Shop at the local grocery store instead of Wal-Mart or Costco, or at least patronize them more.

Buy an appliance from a local store, and not from Lowe's. (Actually did just this yesterday)

Buy things used. Starve the beast that is Amazon, China, big-box traitor stores.

And it's hard to be 100% on some things, but 50% is a lot better. Maybe you can't afford to completely give up Costco, but can spend half as much there and half at a local store.
