Tech Tyranny

I sit down to type today very conscious of the tyranny of the big tech oligopoly. This after watching the news concerning the Senate’s Judiciary Committee and a deep shiver went up and down my spine when Mark Zuckerberg all but admitted that tech companies are colluding and sharing information. That and evidently there is some sort of algorithm or software that is monitoring or sharing data between the big platforms that, in my mind, could be used for mass censorship, deplatforming, and essentially cancelling users without any due process. If I remember right the names mentioned on Tucker Carlson last night were Centra and Tasks. Mark Zuckerberg out and out lied when he said he was too familiar with Centra. Anyone looking at him could tell he was lying. Can I probe it? No, but I know deep inside he was.

Do I expect Congress to do anything about it? Let’s see, lame duck session, Senatorial majority in question, Presidential election in question, massive campaign donations to members of both parties, and who knows what sort of blackmail the tech giants and I would have to say no. Let’s hope for the survival of our democracy that President Trump prevails in his refutation and questioning of this election and that the control of the Senate does not switch parties because then for sure nothing will happen. To be honest I do not expect much to happen either way but at least there will be an outside chance that something will happen to Section 230 and quite frankly, in the case of Tasks, the potential for antitrust charges.

Of course Tasks was probably allowed by DHS, the CIA and or another three letter agency in the fight against terrorism. So, yet again something stinks in this exchange and it smells of corruption and abuse of power.

Speaking of the abuse of power I listened to an interview of retired Air Force LT General Thomas McInerny today and his discussion about voter machines and the software used to run these machines. You have got to be effin’ kidding me!!! There is no doubt now in my mind that this software to be used against foreign adversaries is quite possibly being used against the rank and file US citizen. I am spitting angry that no one is providing a platform for this man. Is this why General Flynn was falsely accused because he knew the potential and possibility of how this was being used? Was he the reason this was not used against the American people effectively last election? Is it because he has been effectively taken out this election cycle that it appears to have been used against us on such a wide scale this election? I wonder how much of this is being obfuscated and hidden under the guise of national security?!? I wonder if there is a connection between big tech and flawed software and hardware in the voting machines?

Now that I have vented and let anyone know how I feel in this moment what really bothers me is I wonder who is recording and archiving all of my movements, posts, searches, and etc. on the internet? I wonder if this will be used against me and my family in the future? Fortunately, I really have never trusted Facebook and even less Twitter and so I do not have too large a footprint on these platforms. But after learning of Tasks and Centra I have to wonder if cookies and other spyware have been put on machines without my knowledge gathering all sorts of data. I wonder how much the huge data centers in Senator Lee and Senator Romney’s Utah and in other states have regarding me? Yes, Mr. Carlson, the hair on my back is standing up, has been standing up and now that it is being confirmed what I consider to be righteous anger and fear have been building in my soul. Fear that I have no privacy and anger that I have no privacy.

Now, I suppose, I will have to actively seek out, find, and implement ways to limit my digital footprint. It is confirmed and though I have left some breadcrumbs just to see who might be watching my activities as I have suspected for at least a decade I can now confirm that Facebook and Twitter have. So, I now have to assume that Google, Amazon, the NSA, CIA and or FBI also have been tracking m and that certain groups probably even have record of my specific votes. It turns my stomach and further erodes my faith in the system which just seems to be so so very corrupt.

Additionally, I am still waiting for some consequences to be doled out to Comey and Clapper. Do I have a lot of faith that it will be doled out? No, and it further serves to make me sick. IF I had done what some of these people seem to have done I would be busting rocks in Leavenworth. But then again Hilary Clinton and all of her minions are still walking free so no big surprise.

November 5, 2020 Observations

So, on Wednesday morning the remaining states who had not been called were Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina and now maybe even Arizona but for the sake of this conversation I will not bring up Arizona. Except for Georgia every state has a Democratic governor. Likewise, except for Georgia and Nevada every state mentioned has a Democratic Attorney General. Does it make anyone else a little uneasy that the potential for these states that are closely contested to not get a fair representation on both sides of the aisle? Once again, the perception of fairness in the election is hard to maintain. Then with accusations of Republicans not being allowed to observe ballot counting in Michigan and Pennsylvania after massive ballot dumps one begins to question the legitimacy of an election that already reeks of illegitimacy. Especially when, as in the case of Michigan, one hears of a 100,000 plus ballot dump in which 100% of the vote went for Joe Bidden. The only thing I have to say to that is, “yeah right”.

Yesterday I took a drive around the Registrar of Voters in one of the counties in one of the contested states. The front of the county building which houses the Registrar of Voter office was filled with reporters and the parking lot their cars. I must admit there was a certain foreboding feeling coming from the space. I can only hope that strong, fair minded, objective people will rule the day in their counting and reporting of the election results. That all legal ballots are counted and that every rightful voter has their opinion recorded.

Random Musings 10.20.2020

Once again it is time for some Twitter (for those with a litigious bent there is a trademark symbol just after the “r” in the previous word) like random musings from the mind of a quiet, unassuming, at least in my own opinion, person observing the ramblings, rumblings and revelations in the media. Additionally, it appears that Twitter would most likely censor what I have to say any way and Facebook certainly would censor what I have to say.

I have been quiet the past couple of weeks because I, quite frankly, need a break from all of the junk on the news coming from both sides. However, I just watched the Clint Eastwood story of Richard Jewell, the security guard initially accused of planting the bomb at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Needless to say, the movie left me angry and reminded me and brought my mind back to current events. Specifically, what brought my attention back is how in the story and unholy alliance between and FBI agent and a member of the press unleashed a witch hunt on an innocent man. An innocent man who was smeared and whose family was put through a press fueled ringer. All this for a crime committed by a man who later plead guilty to the crime.

So, if this happened more than 24 years ago how am I to believe, in today’s world anything that the FBI or government bureaucrats say? How am I to be expected to believe anything that the media says? So, now we have the FBI who spied on citizen and President Trump based on trumped up (all pun intended) charges when they claim Russian interference is responsible for Hunter Biden’s computer being left at a computer repair shop? How am I to believe all the major press outlets print and digital with the exception of Fox News and the New York Post? How am I supposed to believe all who appear to be in an all-out blitz to prevent President Trump from being reelected?

Oh yes, has anyone else found it fascinating that COVID cases are on the rise within mere weeks of the election?

Governor Newsome is now recommending that Thanksgiving celebrations in California? I am shaking my head.

I also have been traveling and have in fact flow into and a little out of the swamp of Washington DC in the last week and perhaps this is why I can not longer avoid the news and have to write something. It seeps out of the television and where I am staying, I am seeing BLM t shirts and hats being worn by people openly. I have to admit that my first thoughts are to ask if the people wearing them understand that they are supporting a Marxist organization?

Also, I have been watching CSPAN 2 the last couple of mornings and have to admit that I am unsure what to say. On one morning being interviewed by Karen Tumotty of the Washington Post were the coauthors of a book called Presidents, Populism, and Crisis of Democracy: Terry Moe and William Howell. This morning a woman named Tara McGowen was one of the people being interviewed and each morning the named people were Progressive apologists and supporters of the Progressive movement. Again, I felt a visceral reaction as these people are quite eloquent and truly believe in what they are saying. To be honest this is what frightens me. This frightens me because I do not believe these intellectuals really give a rip about me nor do they understand the laws of physics. I think these people truly believe that because they say something it is true and if anyone disagrees with them, they will do whatever it takes to suppress opposing views. Perhaps, they are being paid by Facebook, Google, and or Amazon? This is a small example of the problem that exists in our institutes of higher learning. Their minds are made up and using circular logic they are professing to know what is best for me.

Good on the Justice Department for filing a suit against Google. I am still waiting to see how people who ran a coup against a duly elected President are going to pay for their crimes.

I think I may have a new byline for my home page, and it is going to be something like, “Eventually the laws of physics will trump the laws of man”. The question is when and in what form will the laws of physics push back and slap the laws of man in the face?

Health Care (Originally Posted June 2017)

I am so disappointed and tired of the health care debate!  It is just the latest example of the Kabuki Theater that is spewed out of Washington and the ruling elites, in my opinion.

First off I have to ask, “Where in the constitution does it say that we have to provide health care for all Americans?”  I could easily argue that anyone who supports any form of government control of healthcare is an enemy of the state.  They do not support nor defend the Constitution of the United States of America.  Though this is the subject of another conversation and quite honestly it is the conversation which should, in my opinion, be the matter that really is being debated.

However, moving along I have to say that Congress is completely and utterly failing us.  This latest version that is coming out from them is nothing more than a continuation of The Affordable Health Care Act in principal despite some of the details being changed.  Congress, it is my opinion that the only people who benefit from any of this health care is the Insurance Industry and the Media Complex.  The rest of America loses from the insured, the doctors and the hospitals.  Congress, I am a student of history and the decline of health care of this once great nation began when Washington began meddling in it with the passage of Medicare and Medicaid.  Congress!  Do your jobs and what you were elected to do and that is get out of our way!  Reduce government; do not increase it or keep it the same! 

It makes me sick that the insidiousness of the Progressives and Neoconservatives still hold sway over Washington.  Let me say that these groups are strangling the life blood of this once great nation.  I say to those who oppose these groups I am support you within the bounds of the US Constitution.  To those who are so corrupt and self-serving that you would kill the country that created you I am aware of you!  I see you!  You are the enemy!  You are the enemy within!  Anyone who says government is the answer to our problems outside of those prescribed by the Constitution of the land are seditious, treasonous, and should be held accountable! Congress, do your job!  Impeach those within government who do not take their oaths seriously.  It will be ugly but it needs to be done!  We are going the way of the Old World and those countries with no rule of law.  The further stratification of a society is in no way healthy for freedom and free markets.  It will not be easy and will require spines made of steel.  Someone or some people need to stand up and push back against those who corrupt and violate the laws.  Even those who would try to make laws contrary to the living law of the land.

Random Musings 7.1.20

Once again time for some Twitter (for those with a litigious bent there is a trademark symbol just after the “r” in the previous word) like random musings from the mind of a quiet, unassuming, at least in my own opinion, person observing the ramblings, rumblings and revelations in the media. Additionally, it appears that Twitter would most likely censor what I have to say any way and Facebook certainly would censor what I have to say.

So, Russia put a bounty out on American service members in Afghanistan? Why am I yawning at yet another Russia conspiracy theory from the mainstream media? Tell me something new you purveyors of timed or ill-timed propaganda, as the case may be. A couple of days later and it seems that this is all based on unsubstantiated facts. Oh! Shocking! What a surprise! If you detect sarcasm dripping from my words well then you are smarter than whoever dreamt those reports up.

Is anyone else growing tired of being led around by a bunch of bureaucratic medical doctors? Dr. Fauci is yet another example of a lifelong bureaucrat who is relishing in the spotlight and his power. However, I also believe that there is anecdotal evidence that he is a stooge of big pharma. I say this because of his reluctance to use or support any alternative treatments to combat the Chinese Flu. I also say this because he is insistent to point of irritation that we will not be able to return to normal until a vaccine is created, tested and approved by the proper government approval agencies or ministries or whatever they are called and that it is going to take a long long time to do so. In fact, it will be after the election and isn’t that so convenient. Ok, the last sentence was a bit of sarcasm and I heard Dana Carvey’s Church Lady character in my mind saying the sentence as I typed it.

For those who care my new mantra is that I will not support nor take a knee for Black Lives Matter because they are a Marxist organization. When are others going to start standing up to these leftist revolutionaries?

Is anyone else questioning, besides Tucker Carlson, the lack of leadership and response by any of our leaders to the riots and out and out treasonous calls by the radical left to abolish and replace our system of governance by violent means? I also must agree with, and question why are these people not being arrested and the book be thrown at them? Timothy McVey is no longer with us after he killed unarmed innocents in Oklahoma City. I would argue that there have been many unarmed innocents and wounded and killed in the last several weeks at the hands of these terroristic insurgents. Let me be one of the first to say that if I were in charge I would be sending the National Guard and or Police into Chaz and wherever else these Marxist have declared independence and round them up. I am sure there are plenty of laws that have been broken that they can be charged with. They are violating other right to the pursuit of life, liberty, and the pursuit of property (happiness). Then I would ask that the Justice Department purse the organizers and funders of these radicals using RICO statutes to break their financial support. All the while I would be telling the American people exactly what I was doing without revealing tactics and other protocols of course.

This all being said it is easy for me to throw darts so to speak as I am not in charge. I also do not blame the President because he must be tired and weary. He has not caught a break since he took office and quite honestly, I would not blame him if he decided not to run for office again. I hope he does, however, because if he does not win, I will be shutting this blog down because I will be in fear for my life. I firmly believe now that big tech is in bed with many entrenched Washington politicians and bureaucrats. The law of club and fang will be the law of the day as our constitutional rights will became history in not in fact but in application. No, who I am feeling even more anger toward are the so called Republicans who will not or cannot support the President. I do expect there to be support 100% of the time nor would I wish that. But to not stand up to the leftists who are hell bent on destroying our country and supporting the President’s calls to put them down is disgusting! What I do not think many in business and the government realize is that if these Marxist’s gain power (Biden will do their bidding) you can expect all institutions of our market economy and freedoms to come under assault. Yes, I said market economy to include Wall Street and the banking system. One only needs to look to Russia and China for examples.
