What to watch for in the incoming regime.

[Stirnerian]

Things to consider in the coming weeks:

* Melania Trump intends to take on "Internet bullying" as her pet project, the way Michelle Obama approached nutrition or Laura Bush assumed literacy as her pet cause.

http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/11/10/magid-helping-melania-trump-combat-cyber-bullying/

Who do you think will be the bullies?

* Most government statistics - FBI hate crime statistics particularly, courtesy of King James of Comey, but also unemployment and insurance rates - are going to be heavily manipulated, and this probably before the White Terror takes full hold. The liberal conceit that all socioeconomic problems can be resolved by appeal to the experts is going to be utterly discredited, to the extent it isn't already, by the use of Shadowstats in the incoming regime. Be very skeptical of sudden, rapid improvements in reported economic conditions.

Fortunately, most workers distrust these statistics intuitively.

* YouTube, the outlet de rigueur in the Bush Administration for Opposition activities, will be heavily censored, particularly once footage documenting the brutality of the fascist reaction begins emerging in earnest. I suggest keeping a cache of these videos downloaded to an external hard drive or flash drive. In the coming years truth will itself become a battlefield.

Don't wait. Save it now so that, in the future, they'll have to ask "who do you believe, me or your lying eyes?".

* I reiterate that the capitalist media relies on capitalist market mechanisms: Trump, the biggest draw ever to hold the office of the Presidency, will be in a position to dictate the terms of his coverage without any overt coercion. He will be relentless in freezing out the "biased, liberal media" whenever they contradict him, which is going to be increasingly less common.

I cannot repeat this enough: the news is going to be captured without a single gun being drawn. Make sure others understand this, and understand why. It isn't the result of a conspiracy; it's the natural function of the market at work.

Prediction: Steve Bannon, anti-Semite extraordinaire and Trump's pick for chief strategist, won't make it past the midterms. He's being promoted for no reason other than to serve as a fall guy in the service of Trump's "moderate" image - to give him someone to say "you're fired" to.

[contracycle]

You hope.

Trump is an idiot; there are also indications, from during his campaign, that he was at minimum a Breitbart lurker. If that's true, then it may actually be Trump that looks up to Bannon, that his appointment is deadly serious, and that he;s going to be the chief idealogue of the Trump admin, backed up by his own news site and Trump TV.

Trump's top advisor?!


Dear Chris,

Donald Trump just named a misogynist, anti-Semite, and white supremacist as his top advisor.

A President is supposed to serve all the people, but Trump has made it clear he will lean on the same kind of racism and sexism his campaign relied on. And he's starting by naming Steve Bannon, a notorious leader of the white nationalist movement, as his right-hand man.

For those who thought Trump would be more reasonable in office, this is a wake-up call--the horrors of a Trump White House are about to be real. To stop Trump from enacting his dangerous agenda, we have to expose the bigots that run his administration.

Will you make sure your friends and family know the truth about Bannon?

why are you leaking any type of names in your email posts

why are you leaking any type of names in your email posts


"Leaking" -- ?

That's a stretch. The contents make clear that this is information to share and make available widely. Their organization is not some underground-resistance group under a police state. Take a deep breath, get a grip.

[almost]

None of what you said equates to an exemption from information gathering and mistaken identity, etc... This is however besides the point, that you are leaking the names of others, some fairly specific. Your email spam posts don't appear to be anything other than you copying and pasting emails from newsletters you signed up for, probably through some imc call out, and trying to pass it off as breaking news. Does the fact that you have tens of thousands of threads on this forum, probably a handful with actual interest shown in the original topic, a handful out of tens of thousands, maybe prompt you to take your own advice and get a grip? While it is doubtful that anyone associated with these newsletters are involved in anything resembling resistance, it might be a wise decision to not broadcast names and other details that i've seen you leak in the past. That's not even something done outside of forums like this, people would recoil in horror that someone is leaking full emails all over the place.

I'm sorry you don't find my efforts useful, but I think you're also dramatizing something that's fairly innocuous. The NSA is said to have methods for finding this kind of information out, anyway, so I'd rather not be demonized here for just reposting that which is already in cyberspace, and on a mass publicity email, no less.

You may want to revive the following thread, considering your attitude:


POLL TIME!!! Are Ckaihatsu's threads / graphics useful?

It doesn't matter what you think is more-clever than their case building, or irrelevant to an investigation, you don't have access to that side of things, and cannot possibly know, making the leaking of information because you assume they already have it, a poor choice to say the least. On a more serious note outside of the context of this forum w/e that means at this point, don't broadcast emails and names/usernames/handles and def. don't with context. Whether it's the NSA or bored trolls or something half way, it's not wise. It was a bad idea in the 90's and it is a bad idea now. It especially doesn't matter if some people like your graphs. If none of that is selling, consider the appearance of continuous email posts, most without follow-up or personal opinion to fuel an actual discussion, and the dwindling urgency and importance perceived when viewing the horrendously compulsive act.

Your concerns about wanton distribution of private info are valid, and that's where I would see the 'line' myself, but when it comes to emails that are general-info and obviously meant for sharing / distribution, you're *not* correct.

You're also jumping to the conclusion that a lack of follow-up posts to news-type threads I've started indicates lack of interest in the news itself.

It's not 'compulsive' -- it's a routine I have decided to do so as to get some relevant news items out onto this board.

I personally appreciate your news posts, even though some to me(but maybe not others) seem irrelevant. They give an interesting insight into struggles one might not normally know are going on.

The idea that its wrong to share a newsletter, which is not exclusive to an "in" circle and is trivially accessible for anyone who presses a subscribe button, is an infantile idea which seems to only serve as a way of annoying the person who shares this newsletter.

Thanks, glad to do it.

'interesting insight' doesn't seem to fit correctly juxtaposed with any of what is probably close to thousands if not tens of thousands of existing newsletter threads, all containing a copy and pasted email with about 0 effort to create lasting discussion and a blatant disregard for other people's privacy in the present and the future. When you post something, especially an actual thread, you want to be able to convey why a discussion should happen because this is a discussion forum. I don't have a problem with newsletters but perhaps just sticky a thread with links to the various websites that host such things. The reason it is a bad idea to link names/usernames/handles/identifying information of other people, is because you cannot reel it in once its out. The ability to search and the ways to do it can reveal a lot of personal information about other people's pasts and who they were associated with, what they were involved with, and discovering these little bits of data are exactly how it's done. As suggested by ckaihatsu, most of these email postings are related to groups and events that have absolutely no interest in revolutionary action which is another question as to why these types of threads should be allowed let alone taken seriously.

You might want to let these groups know that security across the board is probably wiser, we don't know where we might be in the future. The state has also attacked peaceful groups.
You're also jumping to the conclusion that a lack of follow-up posts to news-type threads I've started indicates lack of interest in the news itself. well maybe it does indicate that or it indicates people's tolerance levels for banality have reached 0 and the presentation has failed, time to either increase the volume and gatling gun it to death or reconfigure some things.

The point of posting news / events is so that revolutionaries who want to relate to real-world events may do so.

I post news items as a matter of *routine*, and you're just characterizing it negatively.
