I know some of you tire of my harping on Iran. Read this piece anyway, and think about how it can be applied here, CONUS, as the "good guys" (FreeFor) struggle against the "bad people" (OPFOR).
This piece is about Iran, but it is about directed history, public perception, and popular support. Pay attention, regardless of your feelings and opinions on the subject at hand. If I've torqued you off recently, look past that, and learn from this, whether you agree with the author or not. Tactics, not ideology.

On a somewhat related note, look at how a loose group of hackers is using the FBI's greatest tool against them. Consider this display of irony. Some question whether or not "Anonymous" is a "false flag". I doubt it, personally, but then, consider the lessons from the first linked article.
I think anonymous is the epitome of an open-sourced organization, and it is utterly trouncing its fixed enemy. Seems too-good-to-be-true, doesn't it? So did the "open-sourced" Lexington and Concord spanking received by the British at the hands of their colonial countrymen.
That's why the British chose the music they played at the surrender. "The World Turned Upside-Down".
Are we paying attention, FreeFor? Cellularity. Autonomy. Free will. Improvisation. Maximization of talents, and self-interest as the motivation to ensure security. Are we learning? I hope so.

Dominant Social Theme: Western Intel is not only invulnerable, it's doing God's work.
Free-Market Analysis: Anonymous has struck out at American intel, as the above AP story excerpt seems to confirm. Is this a trend or merely some sort of false flag – and what's the import?It begs the simple question-
We think it reinforces our perception that the Internet is a process, not an episode. (Emphasis mine: AP) And that's a fairly important perspective. It means that the current Western trend toward what we consider authoritarianism may be contradicted by the very technology that law enforcement is using to track the people that higher-ups consider to be bad guys.
Got CPX Foxtrot?
Well, do ya?
Resist.
Free-Market Analysis: Wow, an important article by Samam Mohammadi based on other equally important articles that Mohammadi cites. He basically lays out a case that Iran is a phony US enemy and that the Iranian Revolution was actually Western-inspired.

ReplyDeleteWe're inside the loop gentlemen - but we won't stay there without network effects.
Interesting. Some of the conspiracy theory info I've looked over seems to point to that, directed history.
ReplyDeleteAlso, what is cpx foxtrot?
Jim,
ReplyDeleteIt applies outside of conspiracy theory, as well, even to how events are portrayed to us, today.
It has a lot to do with the saying that "history is written by the victors".
Thus we are shown images of concentration camp victims, but never of Germans who were deliberately starved by the allies after WW2.
We are taught about Wounded Knee, but never about Fort Mims.
As for CPX Foxtrot?
You'll need to ask someone you know who might know. If he doesn't know, get him asking around.
When you get CPX Foxtrot, you'll understand why it has to be that way.

Open source movements can and do run circles around ossified, hierarchical organizations. 9 out of 10 such movements fail for lack of attention, if one looks at projects on sourceforge and the free software community, but the 10th changes the world. BSD. Linux. Apache. The FSF as a whole. The internet itself.
