The metaphorical Jack had a great idea, open a coffee shop where the beverages were free and use internal advertising as the income subsidy to operate the business. Crowds came for the free coffee, comfy couches, fellowship, conversation and enjoyment.
It didn’t matter where Jack got the coffee, how he paid for it, or didn’t, or what product advertising the customers would be exposed to while there. Few people thought about such things. Curiously, it didn’t matter what size the crowd was; in the backroom of Jack’s Coffee Shop they were able to generate massive amounts of never-ending free coffee at extreme scales.
Over time, using the justification of parking lot capacity and township regulations, not everyone would be able to park and enter. Guards were placed at the entrance to pre-screen customers. A debate began.
Alternative coffee shops opened around town. It was entirely possible to duplicate Jacks Coffee Shop, yet no one could duplicate the business model for the free coffee. Indeed, there was something very unique about Jack’s Coffee Shop. Thus, some underlying suspicions were raised:
The only way Twitter, with 217 million users, could exist as a viable platform is if they had access to tech systems of incredible scale and performance, and those systems were essentially free or very cheap. The only entity that could possibly provide that level of capacity and scale is the United States Government – combined with a bottomless bank account. A public-private partnership.
If my hunch is correct, Elon Musk is poised to expose the well-kept secret that most social media platforms are operating on U.S. government tech infrastructure and indirect subsidy. Let that sink in.
The U.S. technology system, the assembled massive system of connected databases and server networks, is the operating infrastructure that offsets the cost of Twitter to run their own servers and database. The backbone of Twitter is the United States government.

♦ June 2013: […] “Cloud computing is one of the core components of the strategy to help the IC discover, access and share critical information in an era of seemingly infinite data.” … “A test scenario described by GAO in its June 2013 bid protest opinion suggests the CIA sought to compare how the solutions presented by IBM and Amazon Web Services (AWS) could crunch massive data sets, commonly referred to as big data.” … “Solutions had to provide a “hosting environment for applications which process vast amounts of information in parallel on large clusters (thousands of nodes) of commodity hardware” using a platform called MapReduce. Through MapReduce, clusters were provisioned for computation and segmentation. Test runs assumed clusters were large enough to process 100 terabytes of raw input data. AWS’ solution received superior marks from CIA procurement officials”… (MORE)
♦ November 2013: […] “Twitter closed its first day of trading on Nov. 7, 2013, at $44.90 a share. In the years since then, it briefly traded above $70, but more recently, it has struggled.”
Jack’s free coffee shop has been for sale, but there’s no viable business model in the private sector. No one has wanted to purchase Twitter – it is simply unsustainable; the data processing costs exceed the capacity of the platform to generate revenue – until now….
And suddenly, the people who work in the backroom of Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop don’t want Jack to sell.
Twitter is not making a decision to decline the generous offer by Elon Musk because of stewardship or fiduciary responsibility to shareholders. The financials of Twitter as a non-viable business model highlight the issue of money being irrelevant. Twitter does not and cannot make money. Growing Twitter only means growing an expense. Growing Twitter does not grow revenue enough to offset the increase in expense.
There is only one way for Twitter to exist as a viable entity, people are now starting to realize this.
What matters to the people behind Twitter, the people who are subsidizing the ability of Twitter to exist, is control over the global conversation.
Control of the conversation is priceless to the people who provide the backbone for Twitter.
Once people realize who is subsidizing Twitter, everything changes.
That’s the fight. (more)
♦ 2021, Public-Private Partnership – The modern Fourth Branch of Government is only possible because of a Public-Private partnership with the intelligence apparatus. You do not have to take my word for it, the partnership is so brazen they have made public admissions.
The biggest names in Big Tech announced in June their partnership with the Five Eyes intelligence network, ultimately controlled by the NSA, to: (1) monitor all activity in their platforms; (2) identify extremist content; (3) look for expressions of Domestic Violent Extremism (DVE); and then, (4) put the content details into a database where the Five Eyes intelligence agencies (U.K., U.S., Australia, Canada, New Zealand) can access it.
Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft are all partnering with the intelligence apparatus. It might be difficult to fathom how openly they admit this, but they do. Look at this sentence in the press release (emphasis mine):
[…] “The Group will use lists from intelligence-sharing group Five Eyes adding URLs and PDFs from more groups, including the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and neo-Nazis.”
Think about that sentence structure very carefully. They are “adding to” the preexisting list…. admitting the group (aka Big Tech) already have access to the the intelligence-sharing database… and also admitting there is a preexisting list created by the Five Eyes consortium.
Obviously, who and what is defined as “extremist content” will be determined by the Big Tech insiders themselves. This provides a gateway, another plausible deniability aspect, to cover the Intelligence Branch from any oversight.
When the Intelligence Branch within government wants to conduct surveillance and monitor American citizens, they run up against problems due to the Constitution of the United States. They get around those legal limitations by sub-contracting the intelligence gathering, the actual data-mining, and allowing outside parties (contractors) to have access to the central database.
The government cannot conduct electronic searches (4th amendment issue) without a warrant; however, private individuals can search and report back as long as they have access. What is being admitted is exactly that preexisting partnership. The difference is that Big Tech will flag the content from within their platforms, and now a secondary database filled with the extracted information will be provided openly for the Intelligence Branch to exploit.
The volume of metadata captured by the NSA has always been a problem because of the filters needed to make the targeting useful. There is a lot of noise in collecting all data that makes the parts you really want to identify more difficult to capture. This new admission puts a new massive filtration system in the metadata that circumvents any privacy protections for individuals.
Previously, the Intelligence Branch worked around the constitutional and unlawful search issue by using resources that were not in the United States. A domestic U.S. agency, working on behalf of the U.S. government, cannot listen on your calls without a warrant. However, if the U.S. agency sub-contracts to say a Canadian group, or foreign ally, the privacy invasion is no longer legally restricted by U.S. law.
What was announced in June 2021 is an alarming admission of a prior relationship along with open intent to define their domestic political opposition as extremists.
July 26, 2021, (Reuters) – A counterterrorism organization formed by some of the biggest U.S. tech companies including Facebook (FB.O) and Microsoft (MSFT.O) is significantly expanding the types of extremist content shared between firms in a key database, aiming to crack down on material from white supremacists and far-right militias, the group told Reuters.
Until now, the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism’s (GIFCT) database has focused on videos and images from terrorist groups on a United Nations list and so has largely consisted of content from Islamist extremist organizations such as Islamic State, al Qaeda and the Taliban.
Over the next few months, the group will add attacker manifestos – often shared by sympathizers after white supremacist violence – and other publications and links flagged by U.N. initiative Tech Against Terrorism. It will use lists from intelligence-sharing group Five Eyes, adding URLs and PDFs from more groups, including the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and neo-Nazis.
The firms, which include Twitter (TWTR.N) and Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) YouTube, share “hashes,” unique numerical representations of original pieces of content that have been removed from their services. Other platforms use these to identify the same content on their own sites in order to review or remove it. (read more)
The influence of the Intelligence Branch now reaches into our lives, our personal lives. In the decades before 9/11/01 the intelligence apparatus intersected with government, influenced government, and undoubtedly controlled many institutions with it. The legislative oversight function was weak and growing weaker, but it still existed and could have been used to keep the IC in check. However, after the events of 9/11/01, the short-sighted legislative reactions opened the door to allow the surveillance state to weaponize.
After the Patriot Act was triggered, not coincidentally only six weeks after 9/11, a slow and dangerous fuse was lit that ends with the intelligence apparatus being granted a massive amount of power. The problem with assembled power is always what happens when a Machiavellian network takes control over that power and begins the process to weaponize the tools for their own malicious benefit. That is exactly what the installation of Barack Obama was all about.
The Obama network took pre-assembled intelligence weapons we should never have allowed to be created, and turned those weapons into tools for his radical and fundamental change. The target was the essential fabric of our nation. Ultimately, this corrupt political process gave power to create the Fourth Branch of Government, the Intelligence Branch. From that perspective the fundamental change was successful.
…It’s all Connected Folks, SEE HERE
[…] “The vision was first outlined in the Intelligence Community Information Technology Enterprise plan championed by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and IC Chief Information Officer Al Tarasiuk almost three years ago.” … “It is difficult to underestimate the cloud contract’s importance. In a recent public appearance, CIA Chief Information Officer Douglas Wolfe called it “one of the most important technology procurements in recent history,” with ramifications far outside the realm of technology.” (READ MORE)
One job…. “take the preexisting system and retool it so the weapons of government only targeted one side of the political continuum.”
That’s serious stuff, but it won’t stop the Chinese. They will steamroll our IC along with the rest of our country if we don’t do anything to stop them.
Too many of our treasonous citizens, private and public institutions find it very profitable in helping to fuel China’s steamroller.
Been trying to figure this out for awhile… how the World Economic Forum vision both uses and opposes governments (systems) like China.
Sometimes I think the WEC folks see their vision for world order proving so dominant that China will have to play by their rules.
BUT… maybe this is 1984’s “never ending war” between frenemies; an opposition necessary to both sides.
From the communist vantagepoint, the two visions of world order are only the temporary but necessary components of a dialectic that will lead to/reveal the synthesis that becomes the communist vision realized.
Best exploration of this that I’ve heard (though discussed mostly in a domestic context) is American Thought Leaders’ 2nd episode with James Lindsay. VERY THOUGHT ENGAGING, and a necessary exercise for people versed in classical reasoning.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/premiering-700pm-et-part-2-james-lindsay-the-woke-war-on-reality-and-a-strange-fusion-of-fascism-and-communism_4289239.html
Some say 1984 was inspired by James Burnham’s “Managerial Revolution“(1941).
Orwell criticized him and his works in detail before he wrote 1984.
Burnham worked for the C.orporate I.nvestment A.gency.
A high priest of multinational/oligarchical collectivism…
“Effective class domination and privilege …can be done through what might be called corporate rights, possessed not by individuals as such but by institutions: as was the case conspicuously with many societies in which a priestly class was dominant…
“…in a managerial society, no individuals are to hold comparable property rights, how can any group of individuals constitute a ruling class?…
“…the institutions which comprise the state – will, if we wish to put it that way, be the ‘property’ of the managers. And that will be quite enough to place them in the position of the ruling class.”
“…from several different but similar directions, by, for example: Leninism-Stalinism; fascism-nazism; and, at a more primitive level, by New Dealism and such less influential American ideologies as ‘technocracy’. This, then, is the skeleton of the theory, expressed in the language of the struggle for power.” – (The Managerial Revolution – 1941)
Not quite the oldest sin. The oldest sin of all is the one Eve yielded to in the Garden of Eden:
“Ye shall be as gods…”
I’m sorry but after 4 years of worrying about China I have had an epiphany. Sure the CCP is corrupt and has purchased plenty of influence on our politicians. They are an authoritative regime that I have no desire to live under…..except we already are.
The biggest danger to this world right now are the globalists/NWO/Davos/WEF. They have run the same course as former totalitarians with the illusion they do not exist. Many of them are Communists as Klaus Schwab keep a bust of Lenin nearby. Most of their strength has been gained by an inverse sort of Fascism partnering with mega corps.
Point being, I don’t really think they are all that ideological in a classical sense. They just want total control. In that sense they are no different than Mao or Stalin. This is what all the fuss in Russia/Ukraine is over. Davos is scared the euro & dollar are going to lose to a BRICS commodity based currency.
I agree, China sucks but they are not our first concern. Enemy number one is already inside the gates.
Ccp and Davos Crew are not separeted entities. More likely, they are just two fractions of the same organisation who are apparently( possibly just optics) in some kind of power grab contest for world domination. I would not jump into conclusion of positioning either of those to be less or more of a treat. Even they seemingly play for opposing teams, i have no doubt they do bow to the same master and should be observed as such.
Are you joking? NAZIs and Soviets couldn’t breathe the same air for long either. When the purpose and goal of each side is a global domination and totalitarian rule, there can be only one.
But they will join forces to finish us off first.
Schwab’s teacher at Harvard was Kissinger, credits him as one of the most influential in his thinking.
No surprise there.
Good old Kissinger. That rat is the one who talked Nixon into making nice with China. And here we are. And the old Buzzard is still alive.
Nicely put and I believe spot on. I too have evolved in my thinking. The people that own and control these mega (multinational) corporations are the same people who own and control our government and all western governments. They are the multinationals, globalists, communists, parasites, the ones without a nation. They are highly intelligent but evil. These people control all of our institutions that is why your kids are so messed up after years of programming by television, school and especially college.
This is another reason why Elon Musk should take Andrew Torba up on his offer to join with GAB. Torba allows discussion about these things and has his own network. I think the only things Torba doesn’t allow are profanity, and pornography which I think is great. Torba is a Christian. Elon would make money and help save humanity from these thugs.
I feel like Torba’s user base will always be limited and probably lacks the growth potential to be comparable to that of Twitter/Facebook. While he himself welcomes free expression and a place for everyone, his existing users aren’t nearly as warm and inviting and will quickly drive away non straight, non Christian users along with moderates and those who are not opposed to gays/non Christians.
Torba also tends to be a cry baby and consistently worries about who won’t join his platform and what other platforms are and aren’t doing. Would Musk have patience for that?
If Musk took up Torba on his offer, Gab’s user base would immediately begin to change. Still, there are some bigots of various stripes there and it doesn’t take many to drive away the mainstream. Even though it’s a small percentage, legacy media would be all over it pulling up various posts and comments.
Still, I’d love to see Musk try. Maybe he’s got the stones to say something like this to the public at larger “Listen, we all know there are people with these views in society and pushing them into the shadows has not and will not make them go away.” Let’s shine a bright light on them as well as on everything else.
Free speech.
Their only loyalty is to money and power.
I think it is worse than that. They have an ideological side too, and is primarily coercive utopian.
They have convinced themselves they are doing this for the good of the “world” but only so long as they can remain at the top of the pyramid and shrink the base of the pyramid “for the greater good.”
This is far more dangerous than just common greed.
They long to bestride the world like a Colossus.
Indeed, Charlie’s in the wire.
And the phone call is coming from inside the house
And FYI….our IC or particularly the Five Eyes; throw France & Germany in there to, is the bureaucratic (enforcement) arm of Davos. There’s good news and bad news and they’re both the same. America’s and Europe’s Ponzi scheme currency is reaching its climax. The Davos crew wanted to desperately control the demolition of the system. If you ruled the world with money wouldn’t you? They want to make sure they are on top of the pile when the house of cards falls. I think Putin and Xi said no, it’s our turn now.
China is as American/Western-made as the Tech Geniuses. Western Elites partnered with + established Elites worldwide to prepare for The Great Reset. They are all working together to carry out The Great Culling. Time will show – Putin is among them.
This “opposition” on the global stage is as phony as in Congress. It’s Kabuki Theatre. Thesis – Anti-Thesis – Final Solution…
We are the Final Solution stage now.
Get your things ready for the camps + ovens…
We are going to the beach ⛱️. Semana Santa! Cheers
I think you need to understand that there are essentially two communist camps:
1) Globalist network
2) China (and friends)
The fact that politicians in the US have been feeding from BOTH the corruption of China and that of Soros/Blackrock/et al does NOT mean they are one and the same.
Consider the socialist political movements of Germany and Italy (axis) versus the socialist movement of the Soviets. Were they the same? No one would argue that. There was a temporary agreement in place but it was short-lived as we know.
China is a problem. But the power and influence of China is a second-place enemy compared to the globalist network. THEY are the driving force behind the cultural and now economic attacks against the US and every first world country.
We are the Chinese.

What happened to the Dr Shiva lawsuit against Twitter?
There are tons of things you can add to that question.
Are those the new age Three Stooges in the opening story picture? Nah, just 3 regular idiots.
Twitter, Facebook, & most other social media platforms have been selected & boosted by the Obama administration. The main tool was Obamanet (hijacked net neutrality), which prohibited the users from using their internet access as they wish.
https://defyccc.com/category/net-neutrality-fraud/
The beneficiaries were Google and other centralized Silicon Valley platforms. Also, Obamanet has violated the IV Amendment. To access the Internet, the citizens have to allow “the Internet” (i.e., the Big Tech “branch” of Democrat government) to access their houses and persons.
Also, the Obama administration opened thousands accounts on these social media platforms, ASSENTING to THEIR TERMS (with insignificant modifications)

CUT THE CORD!
So, regarding Elon Musk…the enemy of my enemy is my friend? I am still trying to figure out exactly WHY he has suddenly decided to stand up for free speech and take on the IC? Is he now a “good guy” or just a bored billionaire who wants to poke a finger in the eye of TPTB?
While taking taxpayer money to launch satellites for the government to spy on us and monitor internet activity under the auspices of bringing access to underveloped areas.. It is interesting. Why indeed.
Just my two cents…. Elon likes a challenge. He probably does know how to make it profitable (why risk $40+ billion). And if he can’t buy it, he can certainly blow it up (what’s happening now). I don’t see current Twitter coming out of this procedure alive. Either it will be re-born or it will die. In either event, I don’t care. I do not trust Elon. And he hasn’t earned it. And thank you Sundance for another illumination.
Musk is a very successful corporate rent Seeker. He has billions of dollars thanks to the American taxpayers and taxpayers of several other countries. For example, Sweden stopped subsidizing the Tesla cars and they went from about 4,000 sales to I think three. Something like that.
He seems essentially amoral. Perhaps he is bored. I am enjoying watching Twitter’s discomfort however.
Why has Donald J. Trump not simply exposed this in a speech?
Because he did not/does not know?
If so, why not?
Trump is amazing. But he is not perfect. He makes mistakes, too.
“He makes mistakes, too.” Duh… Who the hell doesn’t?
tlhoward, do you remember what happened when DJT mentioned i-mectin, light and other therapeutics re C19 in public in early 2020? There’s your answer.
The same reason the Kennedy assassination docs are still sealed. Trump listened to someone he shouldn’t have instead of trusting his gut.
Because he’s not ready to die just yet. Anything Trump says would become a flood of information which would result in everything we saw during his campaign and first term x1000. Trump has always been careful about some of the things he said. His famous debate comment “because you’d be in jail!” was one of the few times he removed the filter.
While the majority of us here understand a s-ton more than most, let’s not imagine it’s common knowledge and understanding that could be accepted by the masses.
We’re in difficult times now. The suffering of the people in the first world around the world is causing people to rethink their support of various agenda and ideologies. And more importantly, causing people to reconsider their not wanting to get involved position for life and living in the world. We must all become a little bit more activist — unafraid to speak the truth.
He’s exposed the IC spying on his political campaign in many speeches.
Trump’s silence should be considered against the “security” he lives under; not only the visible Secret Service for his protection but the full array of tax payer funded administration to silently and invisibly protect Administration.
Trump is severely restricted in what he can say, write, post, who he can talk to and where he can go. That comes with being a former President. You lose your freedom of speech.
We must not forget how much he knew before he reversed the cash flow from their tax exempt foundations, families, donors and investments so we could know too. Did we know the depravity of their minds, the ugliness in their mouths and the black goo covering their hearts?
Did we know their souls were in servitude to organized politically endorsed crimes? That the NWO people hated the population and planned to kill them off with bonafide poisons and chemicals they released in the air insisting it was a disease? Indeed, their weapon against the populace doesn’t make you sick, it’s designed to kill you; unless you’re able to fight it yourself.
They’ve only doubled down. IF there’s no “cure” for the conditions exposed, the war will turn from words and numbers to bullets and bodies. The two mindsets cannot live together.
Trump still gets intelligence briefings; add his WH experience, sabotage from inside the oval office and the death threats. He’s under control, by his and our enemies. Amazing story.
They likely rage at his rallies where he “tweets” anything he wants to say directly to tens of thousands for an hour straight. He adapts well. What we should investigate is why Trump’s new social-political voice platform of Truth is besieged with tech issues ( not hard to guess why) preventing the platform from working as expected.
Twitter banning just keeps getting worse and worse …

I must admit that Obama did more damage than I gave him credit for. I’m sure most of it was the brainchild of the likes of Soros and Gates types. And oh yeah they’re looking for Neo Nazi militia types. See this makes it okay in the eyes of Joe Normy. Unless those groups are in the Ukraine. Then it’s ok.
Same here, it’s more obvious every day the deep destruction that administration set in play that was kept from anyone outside of DC knowing—
“Fundamental Change” = Commie Revolution.
Ergo, CCP (666) the boss of all Commies in the world today has Hussein’s back.
It’s been obvious for years now that Google, FB, Twtr etc. are all Intelligence operations working under cover of being private corporations.
It’s hard to wrap one’s head around it but once you accept that the representative republic the country ostensibly purports to be is cover for an autarchy with roots back in the City via CIA, banksters et alia, clearly Putin’s moniker ‘The Empire of Lies’ is right on the money.
Not only are those ‘private companies’ owned by the feds, they (the deep state) are nationalizing all the private assets through their agents such as the ‘private equity funds’ like Vanguard and Blackrock. The feds give their agents unlimited credit (out of thin air) to buy up private assets. In the near future, we will have pure communism not implemented by guns but by using increasingly fake currency exchanged by the clueless for their real property.
And they want to keep this going for 3 more years. Then the Sri Lanka’s of the world will be in their cuffs as well (IMF). Only problem is their war is not going as planned. Way to fast. They have to slow it down. Remember the 60’s? Duck and cover.
Obvious cooperation and coordination between feds and WEF since so many YGL were installed as so called “entrepreneurs “.
It all started with free email accounts.
Truth is treason…in the empire of lies.
Putin is only 1/2 right, but he’s not American.
“Joe Biden should recuse himself from anything having to do with Ukraine because of how much money they’re getting from Ukraine. They’ve taken in a fortune…” – Donald J. Trump 3/26/2022
T is not possible in a healthy society, for it requires the citizens to cower in trepidation near every corner…something healthy and secure people do not do.
No healthy society can be held H to T, for it is a mind game with infinitesimally small statistics.
Thus, where does the government need to eavesdrop? If anyone is planning a T engagement, the only one that can amount to a national interest is one with N or B capability. Those are contained environments with respect to the population at large. There is no need to surveil the entirety of the USA’s communications to filter down to whatever is of interest.
One only need to look at the meteoric rise and power of social platforms – from some hyper active bright comp-sci kid in a dorm room writing software to rate chicks because he was ticked his girlfriend dumped him because he was being a loser tool, to some of these guys who’s names I can’t pronounce – are fostered and subsidized by The Swamp Dwellers in various government organizations…because…Data. Mining data on citizens is what government needs to maintain control, like a locust swarm over the landscape, it devours everything in its path. They hate us. Means to an end. Musk is getting close to breaching the hull of government iniquity, meaning said agencies will throw everything at him. Like they were with Trump they are also afraid of Musk. The difference with Musk is he has the means to not care. He will win.
Sorry, but don’t trust him. Maybe I’ve got a thing about billionaires whose products are massively subsidized and in any case the whole electric car thing is entirely unnecessary, inefficient and if they become widely adopted users will have far less freedom to travel because of reduced range, possible social media score limits etc. The whole thing feels like a Deep State type scam.
Or maybe I’m just jaded after living over 60 years with non-stop outrageous lies about just about everything?
He will win if they don’t kill him first. They can’t kill all of their advisaries, but when they run up against ones the like of Trump and Musk, that they can’t control or scare, don’t bet they won’t.
Until they sanction him.
…Or federalize (aka stealing) his companies
Don’t think Zuckerberg originated the idea or implemented it. He’s just the designated puppet.
I left twitter last year. I will soon have my own Digital Dump Day, (D3), on which I disconnect from the rest. How about you?
We can form networks of productivity and support without these jokers. And if you really wanna drive them nuts, embrace and promote righteousness.
IDK, is stuff like CTH social media? I haven’t joined social media, my definition, since dropping ICQ in the late 90’s. Never joined anything like those being talked about today. Had my own web site, hosted out of my wallet and coded by myself, back then and that’s where my content went.
Any interaction with big tech is purposeful. As is this post. Since I know it’s monitored. Some of us are rabbits to the wolves. It’s killing the wolf that’s important. We’re expendable. Such is the nature of war and don’t kid yourself, we’re at war right now, today. Some of us are already dead, the paperwork simply hasn’t caught up with the decision yet. It’s coming though. Covid was a great example. Expect more of it.
Unplug, focus on family and faith. Survive. God be with you.
If SD’s premise is accurate, then all commenting systems are money losers and subsidized for the IC. That includes this one.
This one is not included.
This commenting system is proprietary, locked and secure from the issues discussed. It is also paid for to retain privacy and control, and runs independently of Big Tech.
So then they were violating our 1A rights all along. Shocking.
The DoD was pushing for all spectrum collection on all people. This was under the Total Information Awareness progra. That got shot down in the public square.
DoD shifted to starting up a voluntary program called Lifelog to try to capture daily activities of individuals. Feb 2004 DARPA’s Lifelog program ended:
https://www.wired.com/2004/02/pentagon-kills-lifelog-project/
Interesting that on the same day that Lifelog ends, TheFacebook is created:
https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/facebook-launches-mark-zuckerberg
The intel community convinced milkions of individuals to out their daily life out there for the IC to collect, analyze and experiment on. See the Facebook emotion experiment for example:
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-28051930
This is just what we know…what do we still not yet know?
Remember that the face plant executives will not allow their children to use face plant . . . they must know something.
My opinion is that his is your best and one of the most concise of your postings, Sundance. I think we are on the right track with this thesis. Keep looking for truth in this area and we will find a government that has no intention of being the servant of a nation of free people. I wish I could round up the informative facts as well as you have already done. I know there is a lot more to get to the truth and I am sure you are as well aware of this as anyone.
Thanks for sharing this before all of the pieces are making complete sense to you. I believe the future of our Constitution, still the greatest political document in history, is in grave trouble right now. We have to find the path that can work for freedom loving people everywhere. The USA has always been on that path and now it seems we have lost sight of the direction we should be going and need to understand the facts that are piled up in front of us. God help us if we can’t.

This is dangerous for Musk. The dark secret is that twitter is funded and runs on US gov servers. It’s controlled by the deep state. Facebook also, they were created as the ultimate spyware to know everything about the citizens. It was developed by Darpa under the name lifelog. They supposedly shut it down in Feb of 2004… funny thing Facebook launched right after in 2004.

The Pentagon canceled its so-called LifeLog project, an ambitious effort to build a database tracking a person’s entire existence.

DARPS cleverly outsourced their spyware to what most folks call the private sector, thus gaining arm’s length deniability.
It is curious that the Saudi’s were the first ones out to say that Musk’s offer doesn’t represent the underlying value of Twitter.
I would imagine that if the US government directly provided the infrastructure to Twitter the the government would have some liability when Twitter censors people like Donald Trump.
What if the IC outsourced that role to the Saudi’s? Is that possible? During the Trump Presidency I recall Sundance referring to significant IC capability in Saudi Arabia. Is this where the infrastructure is housed to provide the US Government and specifically the IC plausible deniability about what they are doing? Is this why the Saudi’s turned down Musk’s offer?
Excellent article. This is the type of work that helps change the trajectory of movements or builds the momentum.
Thank you, Sundance
I’ll never forget the trip that Obama made to silicon valley to speak with Jack, and zuck, et. al. We can only imagine what went down in those meetings but that was the beginning of the end and the crap state we now live in.
The trillionaires dinner? I remember that photograph. Practically everyone at the table was a multi-billionaire.

It’s election interference to search ban and shadowban me while allowing my opponents to be easily searched. Things like this can swing races. This is why it’s critical someone like @ElonMusk makes Twitter a free speech platform with transparent algorithms + no political bias.

I have strongly suspected that China has been using the COVID epidemic and subsequent lockdowns as a cover for a good old “we’ll kill enough of all the right people this time” communist purge using the power of artificial intelligence, mass ubiquitous surveillance(aka. Your cell phone, stupid), and their social credit scoring system built by the tech giants like Google. Their social credit score system is fed a complicated search algorithm to flag potential troublemakers and their families based on social networks, surreptitious video and audio recordings made via cell phones, web postings education records, financial records and past behavior patterns. Once flagged you and your friends and family get put on the COVID purge list. When your province has an “outbreak” everyone gets notified by cellphone to report to their local COVID testing center. The “bad people” all miraculously pop positive and get whisked away to a safe and secure quarantine camp where they are kept mostly incommunicado from all external communications. You know, in case COVID, becomes contagious via the transmission of the electromagnetic spectrum or rampaging electrons. A few months or weeks later the state tells your distant next of kin they can report to the Wu Flung Dung funeral home to pick up your ashes in a pretty red paper sack. Unclaimed cremations get flushed, landfilled, or composted. If you followed the news at the time of the sulphuric dioxide emission spikes around the Wuhan province early on along with the news of 15-20 million fewer cellphone subscribers in that same area at the same time you know I’m probably right.
When the commies got caught by the satellite sensors they have probably either bought off or threatened the companies publishing the info or just moved to a less emissive form of body disposal like sodium hydroxide baths that dissolve the corpses or even an industrial rendering solution similar to what is done with Downer livestock. They pitch the body in a giant meat grinder and dump the output into a giant heating vessel. The various fats and proteins are heated and denatured into their constituents and left to stratify out in the column shared vat. Each layer is pumped off and reused for food additives, cosmetics, industrial compounds, drug ingredients, etc…. Mike Rowe did an excellent Dirty Jobs episode on the livestock rendering process if you need nightmare fuel for your imagination.
The lock downs and “quarantine camps” in the various so-called western democracies were part of what the military calls an IPB of the battlefield. It’s psychological warfare and intelligence gathering operation to mentally condition the populace to “get on the rail cars” with minimal fuss later on when the final solution is implemented. They wanted to know how people would act and how far they can push the population towards complying with completely bat crap insane This Is All For Your Own Good edicts. I don’t know about you but I’m not shocked or surprised how smoothly it all went for them. I’m pretty horrified by what that means for us as a country.
Well, I’ve been saying for a while now that ‘billionaires’ are selected and not ‘self made’, this seems to be more evidence for that. Having picked the scab off of twitter to see what’s underneath, it seems people have noticed and once seen it’s awfully hard to unseen – excellent work Sundance! This has even been picked up by Clarice Feldman in her Sunday piece over at American Thinker.
Read a while back that a majority of the on line social media started out as DARPA projects. They put a human face on them to distract us from the real power that runs them
How many of the Tech Geniuses fit this pattern? What % of them — were never geniuses? Bill Gates + his crew did not invent DOS or Windows. He wasn’t a business genius. His mother was on the board of the United Way with top shots at IBM who ordered a crew of their best minds to fly to Gates to establish Microsoft. Steve Jobs was much the same way. — It seems DARPA or some other org controlled by the Elites talent spots a young person who fits a personality profile — uses them to buy up the inventions + ideas of others – then funnels funding + expertise + other forms of government aid to build an Empire making the questionably “talented” youths into some of the richest people on the planet —- who will do as told…
Bill Gates stole the software that made him famous.
I’ve said it for at least 10 years now; if anyone thinks Twitter, Google Inc. and Facebook were ‘organic’ start ups, you’re not looking at the big picture. My space was an ‘organic’ startup. Where is it today?
Given that both partners are in the information gathering and distribution business, it’s a perfect match.
Always remember that our government is no longer of the people, by the people, and for the people. We are all being watched, read, and followed every day. Be careful of your posts, and leave your phone at home.
If you take it with you, get a faraday bag. Or it’s easy to make one.
Sundance is wrong about when the intelligence community and our surveillance state started. Many claims came about from revelations of the existence of NSA and even CIA activities in the US in that regard. Echelon day was a techy grass-roots operation to fight back against the keyword searching known to have been going on within our phone and internet networks (not yet 100% unified at the time). This predates 9/11 by a long time but has been in operation well before it was known to a public that didn’t understand enough to care.
This happened under Bush Sr. This continued since then. The overt weaponization of government function against the people became very clear under Obama but it was definitely happening prior to that as well.
The Patriot Act was an attempt to make legal the operations going on for a least a decade prior. I say attempt because the constitution is still tool which will render these programs illegal if only we had people willing to call it out and act on it.
The very real issue here is a neglect of history and a refusal to observe constitutional law by our entire “government”…
Research SCOTUS case 88 US 162, Minor v. Happersett… scroll down to the 9th paragraph of the opinion of Chief Justice Waite….
Realize that no piece of legislature, no white paper from the congressional Research service and no executive order can over rule, change or modify a SCOTUS opinion…
Only SCOTUS itself can do that…. and that’s never happened.
Our entire government committed high treason when Obama was installed…..
Edward Snowden tried to warn us in 2013…….
What is twitter’s supposed source of revenue? Enough ads to support an enterprise value of $45 billion or so? Uh huh.
Thank you Sundance. You’re an expert window washer. I thought I had cataracts.
Absolute and chilling truth. Full circle. Now we all know the answer to the question we have been asking since 2016, why.
the scientist have been trying to control our minds almost from the beginning of time, they have found that harder than they expected so they just found a side avenue to control us. Set up a “social” site (we all crave inter-reaction with one another) then set back & let us all reveal our every action & inner thoughts while they set there on our shoulder learning ALL they would ever want to know about us.
Maybe I’m mistaken but isn’t Musk a billionaire because he was subsidized into business by government and the same goes for Amazon who didn’t make a profit for almost the first 8 years in business. We already know the the solar panel businesses were subsidized by government as are private individuals who want to buy them for their home. The government uses our money to support all the avenues that are ruining our country yet no one calls for a boycott of sending our tax money to a rogue government run by a Marxist cabal. Of course no one wants to be the leader of such a revolt but you’d think American’s by the millions might stumble on the solution on their own. As has been long noted by many…they can’t arrest all of us……..yet.
I am in what I now realize is the enviable position of having no connection whatsoever with social media.
NOW DO FACEBOOK or shall we say LIFELOG which DARPA shut down the same day that FB incorporated
Using private contractors allows nefarious activities to occur and not subjected to FOIA and/or IG oversight. Geeee, whatever could go wrong?
Bush and his corrupt 9/11 cronies set the stage for this…. This was/is ALL by design.
And, those hanging chads were also by design to convince tax payers to usher in electric voting/tabulating – Control the vote, control the Citizenry.
nailed it.
Contradulations.
So the 3-letters agencies are basically anti-white agencies as they target only white advocacy movements and never non-white advocacy movements;
So it’s whites vs satan.
On another site I suggested that Twitter and Facebook be changed from .COM sites to .GOV and their employees folded into the GSA and their wage scale. Under GSA, the speech police are little more than clerks / terminal operators (GS5-7 ish) and would earn $20K / year. That ought make the rats desert the ship in a hurry. It amuses me to imagine a complaint to ICANN or DOTGOV (dot GOV) for all the violations of a GOV site masquerading as COM and vice versa.
Very appreciative of this article, Sundance. It echoes a sage word of advice I heard from a young Christian YT influencer:
If the service is free, you are the product.
And the mouse trap works because the mouse believes that the cheese is free.
However, after the events of 9/11/01, the short-sighted legislative reactions opened the door to allow the surveillance state to weaponize. There was nothing shortsighted about this plan. 9/11 was the false flag excuse to shred the constitution. “It’s for your own protection” they claimed. In fact this was the opening move in the creation of the totalitarian state we are now subjects of. Western civilization is not the white hats any longer.
IIRC, the OPM (Office of Personnel Management) security clearance data for over 4M Americans was compromised during the Obama administration, ostensibly leaked to the PRC. Aside from the nuclear stuff, it was the most serious compromise of national security data that I can recall.
IF such a leak were intentional, it provides plausible deniability for ethically compromised IC agencies to exploit this OPM data in rooting out political opposition to the Commie-crats.
Gotch’ya “smidgen” right here.
