Speaking of... as per Trump's tweets, which I posted earlier, this is now a trend on Twitter:Trump pinned this video to his twitter:
One wonders if "Caesar" is rallying his legions to face down Pompey. How coincidental one of the snakes in Trump's inner circle is named Pompeo...
They never worked before and will never work in future, if one expects 100%. Human experience is complicated and there will always be exceptions. They can put high % and declare it as safe or ultimate truth and push it to acceptance. They use media (experts, religious leaders etc.) to promote oligarchy's agenda to coverup the mishaps. Ultimately it is the common people who suffer and they don't care. "Caring for people" is only for acceptance of their products.Hi @seek10. Your account of the absurd new requirements gumming up the works at your job due to the hacking scare reminds me of how people like Catherine Austin Fitts, who have a great deal to say about how A.I. aims to take over our lives, would seem to be a bit premature relative to how things actually work down here on the ground. I mean, she may be right on target with her prognostications, only she's maybe a few years in advance of where things actually are in the "real world."
The U.S. doesn't even have an advanced train system -- but the idea of self-running trains I'm sure is in the works. There's something almost comical in the aspirations of A.I. -- again, given the nuts and bolts of how things really get done. Not that it isn't important to understand its ultimate objectives. But we should also remember that controlling an entire population isn't as easy as they may want us to believe -- those of us aware enough to be tracking such things. If you can't proficiently solve even the simplest of problems -- as Seek10's hacking example demonstrates -- how are you going to succeed in mastering the control of each detail of human existence? There is a lot of hubris there, no doubt. Not that we should let our guard down or anything. Still, there are some serious "real world" hurdles for these "grandiose" planners.
Well, I hope you are right, but I fear that the PTB are just going to try and 'steamroller' it through, anyway. Like Covid-19 and vaccines. What a mess!I know I could end up with egg on my face with this 'prediction', but I figured I'd risk it anyway.
Oh yeah! We're already under Martial Law! How are things going to change, except in name?Something else to consider, @Jones, related to Martial Law is that the left is already imposing it without stating as much through the use of Covid-19 -- quarantine, mandatory masks, mandatory vaccination, etc., "defund the police" and funding of BLM & Atifa -- through which we see the eroding of private property rights, even just plain "civil" rights, etc.
Perhaps under formal martial law in the US, BLM and Antifa would fare considerably less well. As is, they seem to be facilitated under the de facto martial law in place now. Maybe the far right (Proud Boys, etc.) would be more likely to stand down and let the military take care of things — not that those groups have been very active compared to the leftists. I'm just speculating.Oh yeah! We're already under Martial Law! How are things going to change, except in name?
Gut wrenching. People power people!Ron (CodeMonkeyZ on Twitter) recently posted this video:
It is incredibly powerful testimony/warning of a guy who was high school age in 2000 during the overthrow of Milošević In Serbia. Highly recommended! Well worth the 10 minutes.

Well, in response to an alleged leak that Trump is considering using Marshal Law to reverse the election (#TrumpTreason has been trending on Twitter as a result), Trump had this to say:Perhaps under formal martial law in the US, BLM and Antifa would fare considerably less well. As is, they seem to be facilitated under the de facto martial law in place now. Maybe the far right (Proud Boys, etc.) would be more likely to stand down and let the military take care of things — not that those groups have been very active compared to the leftists.

While not capturing big headlines right now, BLM/Antifa are still busy in places. In Portland, the mayor has put severe restrictions on what the police can do. When they do arrest BLM/Antifa people, the DA just lets them go (hey, it's just a little assault, battery, vandalism, and arson). Meanwhile, the governor is enforcing an overly aggressive lock-down on regular people and businesses.
With all that in mind, maybe martial law would bring a little interesting variety to the mix. Not that I'm asking for it.
Does this tweet mean that Trump is going to do the opposite?
Yes, certainly, but if January 6 fails, wouldn't Trump, if so narcissistic, purely for self-serving reasons, pull out all the stops to save himself and his family from the prosecution that probably awaits him if Biden becomes president? I don't see him making some kind of deal to escape it, especially because prosecution (doesn't matter for what) has already been threatened by officials, and is loudly demanded by so many rank & file Dem voters, amplified by MSM.Martial law right now is uncalled for
