2000 Mules is definitive evidence that the 2020 election was bullshit. Just because the crimes can't be attributed to a single person or organization doesn't mean they didn't happen. Being non-attributable is the entire point. #Fraud #Election #OraganizedCrime
"Storytelling introduces a psychological attack vector where sapiens can be preyed upon. The most common way this happens in agrarian society is by telling stories to convince people to adopt belief systems where a select few people have abstract power. The problem is, abstract power is systemically exploitable. By convincing people to believe in abstract power, storytellers deliberately implant an exploitable vulnerability into people’s imaginations which they can take advantage of later" - Jason Lowery #Bitcoin #Abstract #Power
"The primary value-delivered function of Bitcoin is not about money, it’s about physical empowerment and physical balance of power." - Jason Lowery #Bitcoin #War
Nostr is not superior to Twitter/X, it's still a trust-based system with the exact same cyber security flaws, the bot problem is arguably much worse here, the performance/optimization of the software is much worse. Claiming Nostr is better because you are swapping out trusting Elon to trusting someone else's client is really dumb.
"Our computers never stopped being general-purpose state machines which produce artificial symbols and sounds and complex emergent behaviors via state changes. Without proof-of-real protocols like Bitcoin, these state changes are materially inconsequential, trivial to reproduce, thermodynamically unsound, and carefully designed by software engineers to present the illusion of something real, but isn’t actually real." - Jason Lowery, #SOFTWAR
"The “might is right” pecking order heuristic for establishing interspecies dominance hierarchies creates an amoral foundation which can’t be exploited. “Might is right” could also be called “physics is right.” Wild animals which use physical power competitions to settle disputes and establish resource control authority (what we call warfare when our species performs the same activity) let physics and probability decide their pecking order for them. By using physics rather than abstract ideologies to determine the pecking order, wild animals don’t suffer from the same vulnerability that sapiens routinely suffer from: population-scale psychological abuse and exploitation." - Jason Lowery
“There is a pattern that we see recurring throughout history… When survival is no longer at stake, selfish elites and other special interest groups capture the political agenda. The spirit that ‘we are all in the same boat’ disappears and is replaced by a ‘winner take all’ mentality. As the elites enrich themselves, the rest of the population is increasingly impoverished. Rampant inequality of wealth further corrodes cooperation. Beyond a certain point a formerly great empire becomes so dysfunctional that smaller, more cohesive neighbors begin tearing it apart. Eventually the capacity for cooperation declines to such a low level that barbarians can strike at the very heart of the empire without encountering significant resistance. But barbarians at the gate are not the real cause of imperial collapse. They are a consequence...” - Peter Turchin
The Rise of Drone Warfare at the U.S. Southern Border Recent developments along the U.S. southern border have highlighted an evolving security challenge: the use of drones by drug cartels. These drones are being used for both surveillance of U.S. border patrol and warfare due to infighting between these criminal organizations. Drug cartels have increasingly employed drones for reconnaissance, scouting the movements of U.S. Border Patrol agents to facilitate the smuggling of drugs and humans across the border. This tactical use of technology allows cartels to adapt their smuggling routes in real-time, avoiding interception and maximizing their illicit profits. The drones, often commercially available models, are modified to carry payloads, ranging from small drug packages to surveillance equipment. The escalation to drone bombs represents a significant shift in cartel tactics. Reports from the ground, especially from areas like Michoacán and Chiapas in Mexico, show drones being used to drop explosives. These attacks target rival cartels, Mexican security forces, and occasionally come dangerously close to U.S. territory. The use of explosive-laden drones introduces a new level of violence, turning what was once a tool for smuggling into a weapon of territorial warfare. U.S. and Mexican authorities are grappling with this aerial threat. The U.S. has acknowledged over 1,000 drone incursions monthly, indicating the scale of the issue. However, exact numbers are hard to pin down due to the lack of comprehensive detection systems tailored for small, low-flying drones. The response includes deploying counter-drone technology, like radio-frequency jammers, but the adaptability and low cost of cartel drones make this an ongoing cat-and-mouse game. The use of combat drones by cartels not only escalates the violence in Mexico but also poses a direct challenge to U.S. border security. It underscores the need for advanced technological countermeasures and increased international cooperation to tackle this transnational threat. Moreover, it raises concerns about the potential for these tactics to evolve further, possibly integrating more advanced technologies or even autonomous capabilities in the future.
