  • Judging just from the image and title, I’m guessing they’re demonstrating this as evidence that there’s insider trading going on, as just prior to the US President making a huge announcement that rocked the economy, a sudden unusual spike in activity was recorded.

    This does not seem likely to be unrelated, given what this graph shows as normal activity.

    The author suggests humourously that this is evidence of precognition - of being able to predict future events using magic.






  • We must continue to build our defences against US aggression.

    They’ve already threatened to invade our allies on multiple occasions recently, and that’s on top of the deeply evil things they’re already doing, both to their own people and to others around the world.

    We must take them seriously and protect ourselves.

    They will come for us once they’re done crushing their own citizens, and once they’re finished securing their control over the global strategic and industrial resources needed for their future peer wars of domination against enemies and former allies.

    It’s sad, I know, but it’s the reality we live in now. We mustn’t live in denial just because the future is scary. They will continue to do evil things like this, and eventually come for us.


  • What I hate most about the Independent these days is that they’re a UK news agency for UK news reporting, but seem to want to heavily report on local USA news now.

    Not just big international news worthy stuff, but lots of small local area USA news.

    I’ll see some headline that sounds serious, only to open it and find it’s not referring to events in the UK at all, but in the USA, which is entirely irrelevant to me.

    Not sure why they pivoted to being a US news company, but I’m sick of it, so they’re on my blacklist now.









  • Did they actually have domestic concerns though?

    It looks more like their Dictator wanted to start another war (possibly to distract from his many crimes, or to distract from his domestic racist death squads, or to raise his side’s standing in the upcoming elections, or to distract as he works to rig said election), and did so because nobody can stop him.

    It seems to be very effective, people are paying huge amounts of attention to this, especially those who were on his side but starting to rethink their position given the continued fallout of the Files. Many of them have instead focused on him as a strong no nonsense wartime leader, which was, I suspect, the plan.

    Anyway, just a reminder that a few weeks ago he also promised to use his military to annex a European NATO nation if it didn’t surrender in full to him and cede itself to be annexed.

    Given that he’s started two crazy wars this year already, it would be unwise not to take him seriously when he threatens us directly.

    The point being, aside from everything else, Europe must not drop its guard against US aggression. They will eventually turn their military sights on us, and we must stand together.


  • Functionally it may be different, but if I’m sat at a table with another user, next to a criminal gun salesman and their customer, the salesman passes me a gun, and I pass the gun to the other user, who then passes it to the customer, am I not just as guilty of facilitating that illegal exchange?

    I understand that one could try to make that argument aimed at an ISP or internet infrastructure in general, but in this case the added element is that we are individuals, we know people are often using these services for illicit means, and we still choose to facilitate their use.

    Honestly I don’t know if I agree with my own argument 100%, but it’s something someone could argue, and it’s worth some thought before deciding to become a part of that shadowy community. Especially knowing there’s a good chance at some point you’re a willing link in the chain for criminal activity, even if it probably can’t be traced back to you.

    Hmm, food for thought I suppose.
