Reply to Read about the I2P 2.4.0 Release at the I2P support forum by idk

Love to test, tried to clone the git repo and it didn't work, says not found, assume this is the issue:

Captchas and Internet ID for all! 🫡

At least this is the likely corporate "solution", for AI's internet pollution.

Cryptography...

Or a vouch based system of sorts where applicable.

This is a real problem.

An asymmetric warfare attack on internet anonymity and networks (in the long-run).

Reply to Banks Have "Right" To Monitor Your Social Media by righttoprivacy

Sad thing is, as we've seen in recent years, banking can be completely political. We saw those Canadian truckers and their supporters get their bank accounts frozen, we've seen merchant account platforms like PayPal and Stripe close access to companies based on frivolous reasons.

Cash is still king.

I definitely recommend listening to the entire testimony. Once past the normal boring introductions and listening to the three witnesses it gets really good.

Could it be a giant psyop? Sure. Three witnesses were highly credentialed and under oath, but that could be all part of the 'bigger plan' if a giant psyop. If it was, then what for? This hardly got any main stream media coverage so if it was a coverup for something else, it was a piss poor coverup since the only news being regurgitated that day was of our imagining politicians freezing in place (Mitch McConnell) and how hot it was outside.

Yeah, I'm not sure why this wasn't publicized more or why even on reddit it never made it to /r/news, for example. Most the articles I did read or skim through were vague and didn't really touch base on much of the key points or claims made. Only places I could find on reddit giving an honest go-over was places like /r/conspiracy or, of course, /r/ufos .

I'd say to date it's the most credible and open discussion on the topic. The links you shared are certainly good reads, but submitted by people with unknown credentials and without being under oath in front of congress, though what they stated is very similar to what was shared on Wednesday before the world.

A personal experience of my own: As a kid in the early 90's, and in a very rural part of America, I always had a clear view of the night sky. My childhood was spent outdoors, climbing trees, building forts in the woods and just laying down in the yard at night staring at the stars.

I very distinctly remember seeing a large triangle shaped object one night, with the blunt side moving forward slowly and the pointy tip being the rear of the... thing. It seemed low to the ground (a few hundred feet maybe) and I recall a light in each corner and it moving slowly, that's it. I've never seen anything else in my life since then like that, and then probably about 6 or 7 years ago while sitting around a camp fire sharing some beers with some hikers (strangers) at a shared campsite we all happened to stop at one night while hiking a long trail in the region, we start swapping stories and someone else from the same general area as me mentioned seeing the exact same thing one night during the same timeframe (early 90's), this was mentioned before I had said anything at all. What he described was exactly what I had observed all those years prior.

There is also a military installment nearby, so the 'easy explanation' is that it was simply some experimental military craft that can move slowly, quietly, and 'backwards' (blunt side forward, pointy side backward). We'd occasionally have the house rattled due to sonic booms from military test flights back then, so there was definitely military activity and training in the area during this time period as well. Still eerie to think about it all these years later.

Had a family member in the Air Force who spent a lot of time out in New Mexico, and closer to his death he'd tell some stories. Many seemed like tall tales, but this is a man who wasn't much for gloating or bragging. I think a lot of what he shared was more, "heard through the grapevine", so to speak. He wasn't a front line grunt by any means, but certainly wasn't high up on the totem pole either.

Who knows.

Just seems implausible to think that we're alone and that the elements we require for life are the same elements required for other life. I hope we see more discourse and open transparent discussion on the subject from the government moving forward though!

As Mulder put it (X-Files): I want to believe 🤓

But very distrustful of the recent flood of coverage, and some moments of testimony aren't as convincing as others.

Without hard evidence: I like to consider any possibly beneficiaries.

(though maybe I should probably watch entire testimony before making a judgement)

One really comes to mind: could really help raise military budgets. 😉

I think this is huge news, but I'm surprised that not many people seem to care or just brush it off because there's no smoking gun (authentic videos, photos, etc.). The best we have are the Navy videos that the Pentagon released a while back.

If you want to dive into the rabbit hole, here are some stories from people who have supposedly worked on these retrieval programs:

I wouldn't be surprised if people like this now start to come forward to Congress. Ross Coulthart seems to know of others that want to talk.

Some of the implications of this shit is scary as hell and I don't think our governments will use any of this technology to "help people" or "advance the human race". They just use it to build better bombs and craft to kill "the other guy" (China, Russia, etc.).
