This training tabletop exercise is based on a fictional scenario. The inputs experts used for modeling the potential impact were fictional. It is a teaching and training resource for public health and government officials.

The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hosted Event 201, a high-level pandemic exercise on October 18, 2019, in New York, NY. The exercise illustrated areas where public/private partnerships will be necessary during the response to a severe pandemic in order to diminish large-scale economic and societal consequences.

Quote:CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida — NASA's Psyche spacecraft launched this morning (Oct. 13) from Pad 39A here at the agency's Kennedy Space Center (KSC). The asteroid-bound probe lifted off atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, marking a list of firsts for NASA and the launch vehicle.

Not including SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster, which launched past the orbit of Mars on Falcon Heavy’s debut test flight in February 2018, Psyche is the rocket’s first official interplanetary mission. It is also the first NASA mission to launch on a Falcon Heavy.

Liftoff occurred at today 10:19 a.m. EDT (1419 GMT). The triple-booster rocket ignited all 27 of its first-stage Merlin engines, which produce up to 5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, lofting Psyche skyward to begin its 2.2 billion-mile (3.5 billion kilometers) journey to its celestial namesake, a bizarre metallic space rock in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Psyche marked the fourth launch for each of these side boosters, which will be refurbished to fly on future Falcon Heavy flights. One of those flights is among a list of several contracted for upcoming NASA missions. During a prelaunch press conference on Wednesday (Oct. 11), Tim Dunn, senior launch director for NASA’s Launch Services Program, said that the side boosters flown on Psyche will be reused on a Department of Defense (DoD) launch later this fall, and then again in 2024 on the Falcon Heavy launch of NASA’s Europa Clipper mission.

Psyche is headed for an asteroid of the same name, officially designated 16 Psyche. Of nine metal-rich asteroids known to exist in our solar system, Psyche is the biggest, Nicola Fox, associate administrator for NASA's science mission directorate, said during Wednesday’s briefing.

"Psyche is by far the largest, and that's why we want to go to it," Fox said, "because the smaller ones are more likely to have been changed by things impacting them, whereas the big one, we think, is going to be completely unchanged."

At its widest, the asteroid measures 173 miles (280 km) across and 144 miles (232 km) long, according to NASA’s website. For scale, that's larger than the state of Connecticut. Scientists don’t know exactly what 16 Psyche looks like, but they have been able to determine that its surface is covered mostly in nickel and iron. The asteroid is believed to be an ancient protoplanetary core, and researchers hope an up-close examination of the metal space rock could teach us more about planet formation.



The spacecraft won't rendezvous with 16 Psyche until July 2029. On the way, the probe will steal some of Mars' gravitational energy when it performs a flyby of the Red Planet for a velocity boost in May 2026. After flying for 2.2 billion miles (3.5 billion km), Psyche will enter orbit around its target asteroid, where it will spend about a month undergoing systems checks and calibrations to prepare to begin its operational mission.

Beginning in August 2029, Psyche will spend 21 months mapping and analyzing the asteroid's surface from multiple orbits.

*You are not prepared for the bitter flavor of psyops being run right now*

Quote:The Israel Defense Forces’ Spokesperson’s Unit conducted a psychological warfare operation against Israeli citizens during the May 2021 Guardian of the Walls campaign in Gaza, with the aim of boosting public awareness of the IDF’s offensive maneuvers and the “toll” these moves take on the Palestinians.

Soldiers used fake social media accounts to conceal the campaign’s origin. They took to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok and uploaded images and clips of the army’s strikes in Gaza using the hashtag #Gazaregrets with captions such as “Why do they only show Israel being attacked instead of our own strikes in Gaza? We have to show everyone how strong we are!” and “Share so that everyone can see how we retaliate big time” or “Making sure Gaza regrets...Am Israel Chai.”

Haaretz has learned that this “propaganda campaign” was launched several days into the fighting, after the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit felt that the Israeli public was more impressed by the rocket strikes launched against Israel by Gaza than by the IDF’s actions inside the Strip. According to internal discussions, the unit’s use of fake accounts – “bots” – was meant to prevent its “attribution” to the army. This, the army hoped, would make it look authentic, as if it originated organically from the public.

To echo the campaign further, the Spokesperson’s Unit discreetly teamed up with two popular Israeli Instagram accounts – @idftweets and @pazam_gram – which have hundreds of thousands of followers. On the first day of this campaign, @idftweets shared posts and stories of an IDF strike with the hashtag #Gazaregrets. The content received hundreds of likes and enthusiastic comments like “kill them all” or “why are any buildings still standing in Gaza?” @pazam_gram followed suit with stories on their accounts.

Quote:October 11, 2023 / Joseph P. Farrell

You may be wondering why I am posting a blog about NASA's Psyche asteroid mission under the "Babylon's Banksters" tab, and not under the "Cosmic War", "Call it Conspiracy" or "UFOs" tab.

Well, if you think about it, it's "just in time," kind of like those Hamas rocket attacks on Israel which are strangely "just in time" as support for the Zelensky clown show and the Billions and Billions of dollars (said with Carl Sagan voice) to prop up his regime and the West's fruitless "war with Russia" are going down the tubes, no thanks to the entire Canadian Parliament applauding Ukrainian Waffen SS veterans. Need to keep funding the military-industrial-dispensensationalist-Armageddon complex?

Just get Israel involved and don't ask too many questions about how in the name of sense such a surprise attack could be launched without Israel's supposedly crack intelligence community knowing about it. The military-industrial-dispensensationalist-Armageddon complex may question the wisdom and utility of billions in aid for the Ukraine, but it will never do so for Israel.  The attacks are just in the nick of time too, because the whole Ukrainian thing was beginning to unravel rather ignominiously.  (Victoria, Volodymyr, and Justin all deserve each other. Perhaps we can find them a nice isolated island somewhere.)

Anyway, speaking of "just in time," I've been commenting for some years that the financial systems (both the public one and the hidden one) are in a bit of a mess, because in the public one there are all sorts of derivatives sloshing around on the books, with a notional value of somewhere in the quadrillions of dollars which is, of course, a few multiples of the gross domestic product of the entire planet. (In the hidden financial system, of course, they have had a few bumps along the way, like trillions and trillions of dollars in bearer bonds going public, but we can all relax, because Government Spokesmen and Academic Experts have Assured Us that these bonds are all counterfeits and fakes.)

But anyway, back to those derivatives: That's the little story most of the financial analysists out there continue not to talk about, while they're scrutinizing bonds, gold, silver, commodities, equities, basis rates, LIBOR and all of that stuff. The attitude reminds of me of someone visiting the living room of a small but tastefully appointed cottage, and admiring the antique thimble collections and intricate porcelain knickknacks on the knickknack shelves and talking about them incessantly, while ignoring the huge bleating elephant squatting in the middle of the room on the throw rug. The rickety shape of some banks and the collapse of others has nothing to do with the elephant, you see, and everything to do with the knickknacks.

But the elephant is there, and sooner or later one will have to deal with it, which is, I rather suspect, what the following story (shared by V.T.) about NASA's upcoming Psyche asteroid probe mission, to be launched this month, is all about:

NASA's '$10,000 QUADRILLION' asteroid visit will launch next week: MailOnline's step-by-step guide to the Psyche mission to a 4.5 billion-year-old rock packed full of precious metals

Now... wait a minute. For those of you who are regular readers of this website, you may recall that when these fabulously gimongously rich asteroids first began to be talked about as subject for potential space mining enterprises, that this talk began to occur right about the time of the big financial meltdown of 2008-2009. Within a couple of years of those dates, the bearer bonds scandals broke, and at right about the same time, those asteroid stories began popping up right when some people were saying the notional value of the derivatives was between 14 and 17 quadrillion dollars.  (For starters, consider this blog I wrote about two years ago:

RICH ASTEROIDS ARE BACK IN THE NEWS

And then just do a website search on this website for "asteroid" and you'll see I've been blogging about this idea for a while).

What interests me here is that the value of these asteroids keeps going up... at a rate higher than the inflation that Bai Den Dzhao's "Bai Denomics" is bringing us. The process began with the "discovery" that some of these asteroids were worth about 14-17 quadrillions of dollars, as noted above. For those who like the numerals, that's $14,000,000,000,000,000-$17,000,000,000,000,000, which was "coincidentally" just about the same amount as the amount of derivatives in the system. Oh... did I mention, that the first bearer bond scandal was for a mere $134,500,000,000.oo?  "Coincidentally," as it was pointed out during an Obama press conference, that just happened to be the same amount in the Troubled Asset Relief Fund of the Bailout legislation.

But in my article, the estimated value of some asteroids had now risen to 700 quintillion dollars, or as I noted in the blog: "That's $700,000,000,000,000,000,000. As the article notes, that's 'enough money to give $93 billion to every single person currently on Earth.'"

Yet, now, the valuation of the asteroid that is the target of NASA's is stated by the Daily Mail article is said to be "$10,000 quadrillion", or "10,000,000,000,000,000,000." That's ten quintillion dollars. Not as mind-boggling as 700 quintillion dollars, but it's still large enough to make those early 14 quadrillion dollars estimates seem like pocket change...

So what's the scenario?  As I've suspected all along, this is Mr. Globalooney's way of wiping all those derivatives off the books, and he has but a few options (other than outright global debt jubilees), and they are (1) actually go out there and mine the asteroids.  That will take lots of time, investment, and money, and let's face it, is not feasible nor cost-effective nor safe with chemical rockets. Or (2) they can collateralize future mining expeditions based on their notional valuations of said asteroids, and create all sorts of financial instruments (and chaos) based on that collateralization, which I've argued to a certain extent they've already done, especially in the suggestive clues to be found in the first of those bearer bonds scandals, namely, the one that made it into an Obama press conference, or (3) they can claim to have gone out there and mined said asteroids without actually doing so (especially in conjunction with number 2 at some point, or (4) they can claim that ET is out there mining said asteroids, and has been secretly trading with us but now we're taking the trade all public, or (5) we want those asteroids but were going to have to fight ET for them, but were going to finance the fight based upon a future victory and those very collateralized space resources.

Think of it as a kind of "space version update" of the idea behind Confederate currency, with a similarly updated declaration on its notes: "Ten years after the conclusion of a treaty of peace between the United Earth Global Government and the Federation of Squish-headed Extraterrestrial Cephalopods, the United Earth Global Government will pay to the Bearer on Demand 500 Bullion-backed (but non-convertible) Zappocoins."   And while we're at it, here's another little question no one seems to be asking: Just who is doing the value estimates on these asteroids, what are the criteria they're using, and for whom are they doing it?  Those questions imply another: Is there already a hidden asteroid-assay operation and mining rights market? If so, who's running it?

The question is, how do they keep the financial system from collapsing until then?  That's where the military-industrial-dispensensationalist-Armageddon complex comes in...

...and you just know that some lunatic Mr. Globalooney is going to propose doing both at the same time at the next Davos meeting... after all, if you have an asteroid-assay and mining rights market (apparently well-hidden), then that makes current collateralization of future efforts possible... and all those bearer bonds scandals  begin to look like chump change...

If you want to know why no contemporary economic models are making sense (other than a couple of people), it's because they're ignoring three things: the derivatives, the bearer bonds, and space, because once again, in my opinion, they're all related.  What will be interesting to watch out for now will be what NASA says - or doesn't say - once the data from this mission actually starts coming in, and whether that data release will be reflected in financial markets moving in correlated ways.

There are many news reports of battery powered buses and cars going up in flames.. Water will not put the fire out so your best option is "Run Away!"

There are several videos of E-Bikes, cars and busses doing the meltdown.. something to think about IMO.

The Case For Leaving Twitter by ADepressedPossum

Paradox Of Tolerance

By now, most people have heard of Karl Popper’s paradox of tolerance. The philosophy that in order to maintain a tolerant society, we must be intolerant of the intolerant.

To go with the old Nazi bar analogy: you open a new dive bar, and in the opening crowd comes a few Nazis. They’re comfortable making their views known, and using the bar as a platform to recruit others. The tolerant thing to do, is to give them as much right to their views as any other. The right thing to do, is to remove them from the bar. So long as they remain, they will recruit compatriots, push out regular patrons, and before long what you will have is a Nazi bar.

But here, I want to introduce the opposite, the paradox of intolerance. Assume the same analogy, but you don’t own the bar. The bartender isn’t keen on kicking out paying customers. In this case, you have only words. You attempt to organize a protest to shout the Nazis out of the bar, but in turn, they do the same. They bring in Nazis from all over the country to engage in a war of words. What you have now, is an even bigger Nazi bar.

In case you haven’t guessed, the latter example is social media. When you attempt to utilize the paradox of tolerance, but lack control over the space, what you get is just more intolerance. Everyone is forced to engage in intolerance be it for, or against the bad actors, but at no point will the intolerance ever result in the creation of a tolerant space. Now, you might be saying, isn’t that better than just letting them go unchecked? I’d argue not, and please allow me to explain.

The Bullshit Asymmetry Principal

So the law goes, “it takes exponentially more effort to refute bullshit than to create it”. But, personally, I think there’s more to it. The human brain is wired in such a way that we prefer comfortable lies to painful truths. It’s how much of the far-right works. They love the term “facts over feelings”, but the far-right has never been anything more than feelings.

Let’s take a common right-wing populist stance: immigrants are stealing your jobs. Are they? No. Every single bit of science, every study, every paper, points toward immigration growing the economy, making life better for everyone. So then, why is it such a popular belief? Well quite simply, it’s more comfortable to separate a group into “others”, then blame them for your own problems. Why didn’t you get that promotion to regional manager? Was someone more qualified given the job? Or was it because there’s too many immigrants and the industry is just too competitive now. Sometimes the wrong answer is the preferred.

Our egos are always leading us away from the truth. It hurts to acknowledge our own flaws, so we gravitate towards any way to blame others. And the far-right, they do blaming others better than anyone. Your personality isn’t why you can’t keep a girlfriend, it’s the women, they’re asking for too much. The immigrants are taking all the jobs. And the gays? They’re radicalizing your kids. All it takes is one Andrew Tate to destroy the minds of an entire generation. The bullshit is not only asymmetrical, it’s addictive. It feeds right into all our insecurities.

Ragebait

Call-out culture has been a powerful tool in accountability. If someone says something objectively questionable and faces backlash, it may cause them to reconsider their position, or at least not make it public in the future. Unfortunately, it’s become all too predictable. Right-wing grifters know they can spread their message by intentionally making posts that are disagreeable to all but the intended audience. Everyone else will quote-tweet their posts to dunk or debunk them, spreading the message far and wide until it reaches its target.

Essentially, when you try to debate feelings with facts, you are playing checkers into their chess. If the target were looking for facts, they’d unlikely be gravitating towards far-right content in the first place. They’re hurt, and they’re looking for someone to blame. The last thing you want to do is point them towards whoever is going to show them who. Many activists feel as if they’re convincing people by calling out far-right misinformation, but in doing so extend its reach, helping it find its way to the people who wanted to hear it.

If you were to make the case against any far-right talking point in a vacuum, depending on your communication skills you could probably convince at least a couple of people. Unfortunately, this is almost never what happens. Many right-wing talking points are so silly, so ridiculous, that you’d look a fool to even debate them. If I randomly start a Twitter thread denouncing the existence of jewish space lazers, I’d look like a complete lunatic. I need a trigger, a post or an article making the claim I wish to debunk. And this, is how the paradox of tolerance fails.

Negative Engagement Farming

In needing to prove to my audience that “yes, someone really said that”, I must boost the original content. I need to show my followers that this is a real argument that must be debunked. Deep down, I know it’s not. I know it’s dumb, I know nobody who is capable of rational critical thought is buying into it, but we love to take the moral high ground, the air is so clean up here.

People taking time out of their day to deconstruct and fact-check every nonsensical take not only spreads the original, but adds credibility. It’s the forbidden knowledge phenomenon. People are drawn to conspiracies because it gives them the feeling of superiority that comes with possessing information that experts don’t want them to have. If this claim isn’t credible, then why are so many people desperate to discredit it?

When you quote retweet that racist, misogynist, transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic nonsense you allow it to proliferation. A quote-tweet is a retweet. Take a post that nobody in a million years would retweet, give them a quote-tweet button instead, and it’s going viral yesterday. The debunking is just preaching to the choir. For every fence sitter you may convince with facts, 5 others are lured to the other side by feelings. It’s no coincidence that far-right content is spreading like wildfire on Twitter. It’s not suddenly any more popular an ideology than before, you’re just placing it in front of more eyes.

Every quote tweet call-out, every article debunk, every intolerant reply, you’re just boost them in the algorithm. It comes back to the age-old saying “there’s no such thing as bad publicity”. You tell yourself if you fact-check them hard enough, embarrass them thoroughly enough, then they’ll stop. But this is their entire marketing strategy, why they hell would they stop? It’s bait, it was always bait. The more baity the better.

Do we honestly believe an account named “Nick Adams (Alpha Male)” was not aware what they were doing when they Tweeted “Alphas don’t need to announce they’re alphas, everyone just knows.”? The bait is so low quality, so obvious, but people simply cannot help themselves.

Twitter’s Home-field Disadvantage

With Twitter specifically, you don’t just not control the space. The owner has made it clear they are on the side of far-right reactionaries, and are skewing the algorithm in their favor. Any possible ground you think you’re holding can just be taken away with the click of a button. You’re not fighting a war, you’re not stopping Twitter from falling into the hands of the far-right, you’re selling burgers in a Nazi bar, paying more than you profit in rent. Every dollar Twitter makes in ad revenue is a dollar against everything you stand for.

People don’t come to Twitter for its far-right hate content. Nor do the advertisers come to market to them. If that was what the masses wanted, then Parler, Gab, TruthSocial, amd 8chan would all be far more popular than they are. The fact of the matter is, people come to Twitter for news, culture, discussions. By staying, you don’t hold any ground, you maintain the viability of a platform hell-bent on promoting far-right ideology. So long as there’s content other than hate, people will have a reason to stay.

I can say with almost 100% certainty, Twitter is dead. Its business model was not viable back then, and its definitely not viable now. Twitter will collapse. It’s not a question of if, but when. At the end of the day, you’re going to have to rebuild your followings elsewhere. The only question is, do you start now, encouraging your followers to migrate while you still have access to them, or do you prop up this system until the very end?

With every passing day, the platform become more and more extreme. The algorithm is twisted to amplify far-right authoritarianism, dangerous conspiracy theories, and hatred of minorities. Twitter will go away, but the damages it has caused will not. The platform cannot survive without you, but it can survive in spite of you.

Fear Of The Unknown

I’ve talked about how the far-right favors feelings over facts, but let’s think about ourselves. Why are we still on Twitter? Do we really believe we’re fighting the good fight? Or is it just convenient. Subjecting oneself to the constant hate and vitriol is not healthy. It’s psychologically damaging. It’s like a trauma bond in an abusive relationship. Maybe we’re scared to leave? Maybe we don’t want to find out how many of our friends and followers won’t join us at the new place? But then I’d ask, were they really friends or followers to begin with?

By establishing an account elsewhere, you give people the reason they need to leave. Some may be stubborn and stay, but ultimately, the platform will eventually collapse regardless. You only get to decide whether you start over from scratch and risk getting lost in the noise, or have a well established presence on other platforms for others to gravitate to.

I’ll leave you with that thought, and ask of you the following: if you see someone talking about “fighting for Twitter”, please send them this.

Quote:For the first time since 1973, Israel has officially declared war. This is in response to terrorist raids where Hamas killed hundreds of civilians, with death tolls still rising. The United States has committed to stand alongside Israel in the war. Yet there are reports of U.S. funds having been used by Iran to bankroll the attack, rumors of U.S. weapons from Afghanistan having found their way to the Hamas terrorists, and questions of hidden agendas or alliances tied in with the conflict. In this episode of Crossroads, we’ll explain the deeper context of these issues.
