Greetings Gentlemen,
I am grateful to be apart of such amazing times as we live in now. The things we have experienced in our recent years, and will experience in the next few years will indeed, be some of the most interesting times of our lives, and I am optimistic for what is to come, and what our future, and even our nation will become.
Our nation has been demoralized, our families have been divided, our culture has been split into a million pieces and the creativity, the drive and innovation of individuals has all but disappeared.
If you are not familiar with the incorporation of the united states, that is a subject of research I welcome you to venture into.
We live in a corporate world, and it’s important I think to realize that the interest of any corporation is the corporation. It is a matter of fact that governments of the world have incorporated themselves, and it is useful to recognize that fact, and consider the implications of such when reading in order to fully comprehend the scope of EO 13848.
It should be recognized, and it should be directly obvious to anyone that the purpose of government is to serve the people in any nation. What is not obvious to many is that for over a century, our own government has operated on the corporate level, to the extent that people are represented as individual “corporations” as opposed to people. According to the laws of the land, and the rules of English, any name is written in the manner such as “george washington”. There is no capitalization in a name, indeed, there is no instance in English where a name can exist written in a manner that uses only capitalization. Certainly, you can be taught differently, and perhaps you may read differently. However if the foundation of your nation exists on writing written and represented by words that have meanings and rules different than the ones that exist presently, in order to properly interpret such a document, it must be according to the rules of that time.
If you take out your wallet, and look upon the name written on your identification card, you may find it written in such a way that says “GEORGE WASHINGTON”. It is important to recognize that is not your name. It is equally important to recognize that you are not your name, just as much as water is not the word water. When a judge, an officer, or any member of government asks if you are “GEORGE WASHINGTON”, or you hand your identification card over, you are representing yourself as an individual corporation, making contracts with another corporation. Any time you sign your name, you are signing into contract, placing your individual corporation as the debtor and your physical body as surety (collateral). This is why when you are “charged” by government in some capacity, if you do not pay their fees, your physical body serves the consequences as opposed to the corporate fiction.
I would like to bring attention to several details of EO 13848. The first is that it was placed initially by Donald Trump, and extended two times by Joe Biden.
It is titled as following: “Donald J. Trump, Executive Order 13848—Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election”
Let’s review Sec. 2. (a) Sec. 2. (a) All property and interests in property that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of any United States person of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in: any foreign person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Homeland Security:
Take note please in regards to “the following persons”.
(i) to have directly or indirectly engaged in, sponsored, concealed, or otherwise been complicit in foreign interference in a United States election; (ii) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of, any activity described in subsection (a)(i) of this section or any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; or (iii) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person whose property or interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order.
This is very broad when you consider the implications. It is worth considering the implications that this executive order, although established by the last President is renewed now twice under Joe Biden.
Now consider for a moment how many corporations are owned, partially owned, operated, or in some manner handled from over seas.
I am not pointing fingers at anyone, I am making no accusation nor endorsement of any person, I won’t say there was election fraud in any recent elections that would cause this EO to be triggered. Instead what I will do is simply point out what I have noticed:
Walmart has completely changed. They actually have good customer service now. They no longer try to dress people in rags, and they are providing quality displays and clothing. Furthermore, the self checkouts all have “Notes” as opposed to “Us Dollar” on the registers. You can consider those implications, I will just leave it there.
YouTube no longer shows recommendations to anyone with search history off and cleared. How could it before, and why won’t it now? Consider the implications.
Consider the main stream Media in the United States. There has been a very clear shift in what is being said. Consider the implications.
If you just look around you at all the subtle changes in leadership, and in corporations you will see a very clear trend. They are becoming better for the public, and especially being more transparent in what they do behind the scenes. Consider the implications.
I've been on the Internet since it was text only. I find it difficult to believe ads are effective anymore. I know I completely ignore those I'm not already blocking. They don't even register in my brain anymore. Maybe there are a lot of people still vulnerable to them, but it's got to be micro fractions of total views. I know they sort of fund the Internet (although porn seems to largely exist without them) and I don't see a valid alternative, but I also can't see how much longer they can be viable, especially when many people can't afford to buy things no matter how attractively they're advertised.
...porn seems to largely exist without them??? Um... maybe you have ad blocker turned on and forgot, or you are using some bespoke fancy porn sites for gentlemen with handlebar mustaches, but ads are everywhere? However, those are still the classic "fishing" style ads - these still work because porn sites are about the only sites of such specific and marketable interests (sex and sex-adjacent products and services) to bring in such volume that this method still works.
Porn sites would love to pull a social media and make it so every user has to have an account, so tailored fetish ads could follow the user instead of having to rely on user tagging to put the right sexuality of porn ad on the right porn. But the vast majority of users want to leave zero lingering (digital) traces of their deed, and porn is too easy to make and distribute now for the industry to engage in "UX-fixing" like social media platforms did.
So here's the thing - ads are much much much less effective than they were. These are numbers just for example - let's say that back in 2004, your webcomic about gamers on couches earned you one hundredth of a penny for every ad view, and one full penny for every ad click. Today you may be getting closer to one hundredth of a penny for every click, and... a thousandth or something for every view? Ten thousandth? Point is, the rates have gone way down, because humans are not really the users in modern internet economics - we are the product.
The market has become flooded with product (users), causing the individual price of each product to fall. The selling point for advertising on the net underwent a painful transformation from "reach a small dedicated niche audience that inherently has some leisure capital to spend!" to "reach literally everyone on the planet who could possibly give you money". Millions of middlemen in the system went under and lost their shirts.
But even with all of that, Google keeps it up because making fractions of fractions of pennies adds up with their massive volume. Sites and blogs and channels keep it up because 1) might as well try and get a little pizza money for "free", and 2) the service you're using will probably put ads up regardless, so you really might as well. Advertisers keep it up because, well, this is now where everyone is.
Besides, it's not like classic tv or paper ads translated into direct trackable purchases. Even an internet that uses ads less than it used to still gives companies so much more better data than tv ads ever could, and that's even before they introduced the nanobot swarm.
As for how they could even be effective... well for one thing, the economy is a shell game. Funny money exists everywhere, and this is just one facet. But also, if you are the age you indicate than you are well out of the most coveted advertising demo, 18-35. You are no longer in the Socially Incentivised To Be Dumb With Your Money age bracket, your societal role (according to marketers) is to raise the next crop of 18-35 year olds.
And 18-35 year olds? They are depressed, they are certain the future is only going to get worse, and many of them came of age in a time where they were isolated and disconnected but had regular government cheddar rolling in, and only one place to spend it. The internet. And during that time they gave their brain data away (and many had already been doing that throughout high school), and now the nanobot swarm knows precisely how they would spend their extra income if they actually had a decent amount. So their own brain data can be used against them with algorithmic persistence. Buying a 12 dollar trinket gives them an opioid burst instantly, then another one when it arrives in two days, followed by a short sequence of decreasingly powerful hits.
This is much more enticing than "save up to have stability in a future all but guaranteed to be chaotic and unstable!" The kids know they'll never see a dime of all the social security they're paying into. They feel stuck and squeezed and like they are a commodity or product for techbro billionaires more than sentient individual beings, so might as well spend your vanishingly small extra income on shiny things to look at while waiting for the grave to swallow you. Bread and circuses, etc.
I did not mean for this to get that depressing, but this is where we are.
