The Man Who Told Us the Truth started out as just another smartbot in the administered intelligence world. One imagines the system accidentally failing to hoover up some bit of ts own metastasizing malignancy, maybe nothing more than a routine additional straw -- which, for Our Man, then turned out to be the last straw. History works in the oddest ways.<br /><br />Far more a matter of accident than of any imaginable purpose. <br /><br />Not that all the imaginable and real purposes aren't problematic enough as 'tis.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-36334639871457284352013-12-05T10:29:15.019-08:002013-12-05T10:29:15.019-08:00The break in the first line is just right.

The destruction of civil liberties didn't really take that long -- more like one of those "half" or "baby" marathons. And I don't even like to think about the maelstrom awaiting us at the finish line.<br /><br />Annie, the unwanted intruders runneth over at my place but there's always room at the party, so next time your little robot friends from LM drop by, send 'em on over for some bar-b-q and beer with the daft old folks and maybe even a little crazy fun on the python browser forced-feeding-tube shoot-the-chute.<br /><br />(Hmm, better make that whipsnake browser -- easier on the keyword surveyor bots, wouldn't want to get 'em confused before they've digested that healthy breakfast of ten billion killerbytes of useless "intelligence" -- just add a tall glass of milk and a sharp extortion strategy.) <br /><br />Well, Nora, all I can say is when the storm troopers arrive to round up the authentic butt pain victims and herd them into the boxcars, I'll be missing you.<br /><br />The matter of what is one's own private business seems hardly to be an issue anymore. Indeed there doesn't seem any longer to be such a thing as one's private business. Since early last summer, anyone who isn't worrying about this loss is very likely exploiting it.<br /><br />The world gradually draws into<br />a global unit, knitted<br />together by the networks stitched<br />into everyone's private<br />arrangements.<br />There is increasingly the threat<br />of an objective penalty<br />for being excluded <br />from the game,<br />from these networked arrangements.<br /><br />At the same time<br />seeing these arrangements<br />clearly and objectively from the inside<br />is impossible.<br />Only by being cut adrift,<br />stranded<br />on the outside,<br />does one begin<br />to make out the workings<br />of the game -- <br />to make out that it is a game<br />and not a "natural" state of things.<br /><br /><a href="http://tomclarkblog.blogspot.com/2013/07/network.html" rel="nofollow">Network</a><br /><br />But it seems there remains a bit of the devil in every human animal, even the most miserably cowed, a strange small still voice which, when faced with the overwhelming control mechanisms which demand one to shut up for one's own good, chafes at the bit, just a bit...<br /><br /><a href="http://tomclarkblog.blogspot.com/2013/12/sheepish.html" rel="nofollow">Sheepish</a>TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-19741905655183061102013-12-04T14:34:43.916-08:002013-12-04T14:34:43.916-08:00maybe that LM Wisdom really works like they say bu...maybe that LM Wisdom really works like they say but it didn't stop those boston marathon guys<br /><br />i assume there's a file of everything i write and every website i visit<br /><br />i incline to the opinion that all this info is being collected for its potential use as blackmail <br /><br />may all potentially sentient beings be well, happy, and at peacemistah charley, ph.d.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06303695341246058680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-62177053247972845442013-12-04T12:24:22.742-08:002013-12-04T12:24:22.742-08:00I began noticing Lockheed Martin visiting my blog,...I began noticing Lockheed Martin visiting my blog, several times a day, every day for about two months - only it was not a person, it was a bot. So I looked up the IP, did some research and found out LM uses a software known as "Wisdom": <br /><br />From their website: "LM Wisdom is a predictive analytics and big data technology tool that monitors and analyzes rapidly changing open source intelligence data (newspaper feeds and social media content for example). This type of content has the power to incite organized movements, riots and sway political outcomes. LM Wisdom turns this data into actionable intelligence for our customers."<br /><br /> They seemed particularly interested in a post I did once a long while ago re: "Stand Up for Tibet". I emailed a friend to say I was thinking of writing on my blog about it, and whaddyaknow, the next day Lockheed Martin stopped visiting. Quel coinkydink!

Is it strange that I always assume I'm being watched nowadays? And that I still Google things like "mysterious butt pain" at five a.m., knowing full well it could go on my permanent record?

There is the echo of the Grace Jones album, and heaven knows what else. The silver bullet left by the masked invader under the surrealistic pillow in the sleepover tent at the USA gun show will find its target in somebody's nightmare. But this whole subject is of course untouchable. The nonchalant traffic in arms discovered at gun shows on an <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baPgr_tw79Q" rel="nofollow">"undercover tour"</a> by Colin Goddard, a student shot four times at Virginia Tech, is an eye opener.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-33645658444190722512013-12-04T05:31:28.754-08:002013-12-04T05:31:28.754-08:00I feel unsafe and it’s been a long time, unfortuna...I feel unsafe and it’s been a long time, unfortunately, since I’ve really had any fun. I would like to believe that this is temporary, a phase, but I’m worried that it isn’t. I know that a lot of things were said after the passage of the Patriot Act about diminishing freedoms and abridged rights of free speech, but I didn’t notice anything salient in that regard affecting the population at large or me personally. I do now, however, and apart from this space and on my own blog, I pretty much keep my thoughts to myself in order not to be disagreeable or possibly be noticed or reported. Out of step as I am, I no longer step out. All three photos are amazing, but I especially like the second one with the “Island Life” sign on the left-hand side juxtaposed against the large gun show billboard. The funny thing is that most people driving by it wouldn’t notice it or, if they did, wouldn’t remember it. There’s too much information out there and people pitch their tents and enclose and cocoon themselves in a million different ways.ACravanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315707533118640284noreply@blogger.com
