    Biggest piece of suspicion to me was that he conveniently left a huge trail of internet breadcrumbs for everyone to follow his reading history, twitter posts, media posts, comments and social media posts all over the place.

    The suspicion is that for what sounds like a modern capable internet savvy individual who knew how to get online … why would he leave a long trail of data in his real name everywhere?

    Most people I know would never leave a long trail of content in my real name on the internet for people to easily follow.

    As an Indigenous Canadian … when someone asks me where something, someone, some town, some location, the sun or a celestial object is located … I turn my head and point with my lips.

    And my distance measurements are usually answered first by asking ‘why?’ … and if they give an acceptable response, I’ll tell them the distance is either … ‘not far’ … ‘far’ … or ‘very far’


  • It’s to the point right now that a young person 20 years of age could spend a decade just watching all the old classics from the past 80 years to enjoy great films. If they stopped making movies tomorrow, there’s more than enough content now for people to watch.

    My wife wants to keep watching the latest stuff but if it were up to me, I’d just take the time to watch at least all of the AFI top 100 films… last I checked I think I’ve only seen about 30 of them and I thought I watched a lot of films. My last rough count of watched films that I could list was over 1,500 films. And I still have a waiting list of hundreds more I want to see.

    I’m a Trek fan and I thought I watched lots but I’ve only seen about half of all the TV series and most of the films.

    That’s also not counting all the other TV series I’d like to see from the past … MASH, All In The Family, Adam’s Family, The original Batman series, The Munsters, X Files, Walking Dead, Arrested Development, Battlestar Galactica, Twilight Zone, The Office … and on and on

    If my spouse wasn’t so stuck in watching the latest stuff I’d probably be happy just spending my time catching up on everything I wasn’t able to see for the past 30-40 years.



  • Human greed is the common point of failure in any of societal systems. In any system … capitalism, socialism, religious, commune, authoritarian … the common thing that holds it together is concentration of power. The problem that it suffers from is … concentration of power.

    No matter what group you create, power eventually gets concentrated to smaller groups of people and it only attracts a certain group of individuals who only understand the need to want power and control over everyone and everything to the detriment of everything else.

    Once we find a way to build a societal system that is able to distribute power and keep any one or group of people from dominating everyone else, then we might have a chance of developing a sustainable civilization. In the meantime, no matter what you want to call it or do with it, if the end process just concentrates power to a small group of fallible ignorant humans, nothing will ever work.


  • I’m indigenous Canadian, brown skinned long haired big tall dark 100% Ojibway Cree on both sides of my family from northern Ontario.

    Unless you are white Caucasian, dealing with law enforcement is always a risk. As a teen and young man, I was always a suspect every time I dealt with the police, a criminal that had to prove on my own that I wasn’t. And I was one of the lucky ones because I had a lot of older family look out for me. So many of my friends who didn’t have the same protection just ended up miserable as they got trapped inside the system. They grew up being treated like criminals that no one was surprised that they became criminals.



  • There are non-profits around every community and city and settlement pretty much throughout the world … they’re called libraries that house plain old paper books that are more or less free to read for anyone interested.

    Most of the useful, relevant, education, informative and useful content we need as individuals is already freely available in open source books and reading material in license free ebooks and websites - the internet archive has a ton of content - wikipedia is also a great resource and if it doesn’t have the relevant or objective information you want, it is usually a starting point for the reader to find more.

    The majority of the rest of the internet … I’d say about 80% to 90% of it is just useless mindless repeated, rehashed, reposted content from what is already available in libraries … or it’s just useless entertainment nonsense to fill people’s time with bits of information to make us laugh, smile or worry.

    In international political language it’s called plausible deniability … they want to give advice direction support or even supplies to guide and show you how to do something and even point you the way, but if you get caught or get in trouble … they throw up their hands “I don’t know this guy, never heard of him and what he did was terrible, what’s wrong with people that they’re driven to do these things?”
