  • AI is very useful and powerful as a propaganda device and a system to generate and disseminate disinformation, misinformation and non-information very quickly and very efficiently.

    It was thought that the internet would do the same but that system only goes at the speed of humans and the whole system is regulated by humans … so as propaganda tool, it has worked better but not as well as predicted. Humans saw the the potential for abuse and fought back against it.

    AI is like propaganda on cocaine … and there is very little to stop it other than our awareness of it … but the majority of everyone in the world don’t care to understand what they are watching is real or not. What that means is that AI is set to reshape how everyone thinks and how we all see the world.


  • Investors are like parasitic leeches to any business model. As soon as you add them, the business has to grow in order to satisfy the leeches who provide no benefit to the model other than to be attached to it. If you ignore the leech, they’ll drain all your lifeforce, so your only option is to satisfy them and feed them. Unfortunately, they are also ravenous creatures who are never satisfied. If you feed them a little, they’ll want more next time in an endless cycle.

    Once you are infected by investors … eventually they will destroy whatever you created.






  • Burner phone … leave your main one at home … ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BRING YOUR MAIN PHONE

    Set up your burner phone with one or two accounts to things you might want to upload to … encrypt as much as you can. Do not load all your social accounts … only log into the bare minimum. If you are organized, log into temporary or fake or secondary accounts if you can.

    Start the day without any prior history, photos or content on the phone and keep as few contacts as you can … memorize numbers that are important to you.

    Always be prepared to give up or lose your phone.

    And as always … SAFETY GLASSES … bring a pair of industry rated CSA approved safety glasses (try to get a pair with a tint so you can pass them as sunglasses). Look for safety glasses with anything marked ANSI Z87+, sometimes written Z87.1+ (note the plus) rated or CSA Z94.3 rated are ensured to safely withstand a direct high energy strike.

    … additional things if you want to do more

    Bring a small new blank paper note book you can keep in a pocket with a small pen or pencil … you might be taking notes like license plates, name tags or names of people or places … its always faster to just write something down than in taking a shaky photo or tapping away a note on an app

    Wear a big scarf … for guys or girls … a scarf comes in handy for all kinds of emergencies including using it as something to cover your mouth, dress a wound, tie something or cover something up.

    Wear a good pair of running shoes … be prepared to run and be on your feet all day.

    Bring a small backpack and bring a couple bottles of water and some energy bars … keep it light because you’ll be on your feet all day and if things go bad, you might be targeted if you have a large pack … plus an empty pack can be used to carry things later if you need to.

    Dress for the weather … if its going to be hot, wear light clothing but if things go bad and you have to stay out over night or longer, bring a light jacket … if rain is forecast within a day or two, bring a small poncho






  • I’ve worked in construction and building for many years and from time to time I had to get safety training.

    Basically, any small object that is moving fast enough is dangerous. It’s not so bad if it hits your skin but it is absolutely dangerous if it flies anywhere on your head and face. You can lose eyes, teeth, hearing even have objects fly into your mouth and the soft parts of your throat and mouth. Remember that your face is basically an airbag to protect your skull - your brain doesn’t care what happens to your face because if anything damages the face or eyes, it will save the brain - so you might survive a shot to the face but does it really matter if you’re blind or maimed in the mouth, nose or ears. In war time, soldiers have been known to blow off the entire face, jaw, nose, eyes and all and still survive.

    The world is insane … we have OSHA standards that regulate what can or can’t be done in a work zone to keep people safe from harm and even death

    But when it comes to dealing with people in a public protest … all that safety goes out the window as police are allowed to fire small objects at unsafe speeds into people’s bodies and faces! Onto unsuspecting people with no training, knowledge or wherewithal to know that they should at least wear safety glasses.


  • To add emphasis to this because I really worry about these young people, here’s something I wrote in another thread …

    Safety glasses … any time you join a protest these days … wear safety glasses … any kind will do because it will give you a fighting chance at saving your eyesight.

    So many protests over the past few years have featured police forces aiming munitions, tear gas and other projectiles at people’s faces on purpose. These projectiles won’t kill you but if they hit your face can severely wound you or destroy your eyes and blind you.

    Wounding people as opposed to killing people is also a psychological tool used by security forces. If they hurt, maim or even cause people to bleed … then it has a psychological toll on those who see it. An even greater psychological hit for anyone would be to see a healthy strong, vibrant young 20 year old man losing both his eyes and blinded while everyone witnesses it and tries to help. It might only directly hurt one person but the event would psychologically affect dozens or even a hundred people who see it.

    One of the saddest stories I ever saw was the story of 20 year old Gustavo Gatica in 2019 who was part of a protest against the government in Chile. Police were actively shooting at protesters’ faces on purpose blinding many people in one eye. Gustavo was hit in both eyes and was rendered completely blind.

    It’s one of the saddest and most infuriating images I’ve seen in a long time … no matter where you are and you want to join a protest … wear safety glasses and save your eyes. Police might not try to aim for your face but if they do, they’ll just make the excuse that you shouldn’t have been there in the first place and blame you for your injuries.


  • I’ll keep repeating this because I think it’s important

    Wear safety glasses

    Not sunglasses, or shades or prescription glasses

    Wear actual industrial rated workers safety glasses.

    If you get those shots in your face, you’re going to lose an eye or both eyes. Safety glasses are designed for this kind of stuff and they actually work. It will stop those projectiles from damaging your eyes.

    Cops all over the world are known to purposefully shoot people’s faces and heads. After the fact they will just argue that it didn’t happen, it was accidental, it was chaotic, it was dangerous, etc, etc … it won’t matter after the fact if you lose an eye or end up completely blind.

    Wear safety glasses, they’re easy to find and easy to use.
