Great clip, Joys1Daughter, and a good reminder that we are up against a massive and powerful group of people who have corrupted nearly every large organization and millions of individual people to the will of [their] Cabal.

As you point out, humanity has been under the boot heels of a group -- multiple groups, really -- of psychopaths for centuries.

I do believe that the specific set of plans we are seeing unfold NOW were crafted and set in motion in the last hundred years or so, if only because so much technology has emerged recently that shapes the battle space. And tech becomes more powerful exponentially, which humans have great problems grasping; it is non-intuitive.

I read an article in PC Magazine back in the '80's titled The Miracle of the 20MB Hard Drive -- link is to a search that failed but which provides ample evidence that 20MB was a typical hard drive size then. And those drives were 5.25" monsters that weighed about as much as an entire MacBook Air.

Today, the drive on my LAPTOP is one Terabyte -- there are a thousand Gigabytes in a Terabyte (or 1024 of them, but let's not get picky) and a thousand Megabytes in a Gigabyte, so a Terabyte is a million Megabytes.


It would take 50,000 20MB drives to equal the capacity of a single Terabyte drive (really: Imagine a pile of 50,000 5.25" hard drives). EDIT: At this point, I wrote a correction, thinking I'd got the number wrong, but u/enough_of_the_racism pointed out that . . . my numbers were right the first time so I've over-written the original Edit here. 50,000 20MB hard drives per TB it is. Thank you, u/enough_of_the_racism/.


And there are 1 Terabyte CAMERA CARDS now, and they're cheap. Hell, there are 4 TB camera cards, and even THEY are cheap, unless you want one fast enough for saving real-time high-resolution video.

Here's a short tour through hard drive evolution, from the mid-'50s when a 5MB drive was bigger than anything in your house, to 2016 when the article was published.

And . . . now I'm suddenly aware that I've rambled on far longer than makes any sense. My apologies.

My point was that the PACE OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE has taken even the Cabal by surprise, and that this may be one reason that NCSWIC.

Here's a computer-related post, from yesterday, that expands on that in an encouraging way: https://greatawakening.win/p/17rSxPr0k7/game-theory-and-ai--they-want-to/

EDIT: OMG, I got the decimal in the wrong place. 1000(MB) x 1000 x 1000 / 20 = 50 MILLION, not 50,000. Yes, that's FIFTY MILLION 20MB DRIVES to equal a single Terabyte drive.
