(2025-03-22 The PBC turned out to be a bullshit artist who is very much alive - the high dive was faked, and heโs caught up in some Qanon related litigation. Even so, a lot of this is worth reading, itโs background as to how we got here.)
Twitter was a sewer before Musk purchased it and since late 2022 itโs skidded further and further away from objective reality. Today reality hit back; a young man is in an ICU bed with a brain injury due to a head first dive off a building. The swelling is progressing and given how hard he landed it may be a kindness if it finishes him.
Since all parties involved are litigious dingbats Iโm not going to name names, but I will describe some of the entities and episodes involved.
Wikileaks - if itโs real stupid, but REALLY persistent, Wikileaks is involved.
Cicada 3301 - a strange attractor for geniuses and madmen.
Qanon - The Great Awakening pastebin is the least nonsensical origin story.
Anonymous - fellow members of the class of 2011 - 2012.
APT 28 Fancy Bear - Wikileaks previously, doing something new for 2024.
Legion of Doom - defunct, but members still active.
BunnySec - when stupidity becomes verminiferous, expect them.
Our young man circulated steadily for years, so like a Shadowrun character, he had a list of allies and enemies, as well as a much larger group of disinterested bystanders. Death is a notable thing, always a cause for someone Filing A Conjunction, and this one is worse because the online mischief task force I mentioned in Imminent Foreclosure: Kiwi Farms is indeed real AND on the move. Various assclowns are going to take this casualty and try to stick it to their opponents over the flimsiest of public interactions between them and the victim.
Attention Conservation Notice:
This isnโt well thought out. I woke up, looked at my phone, rubbed my eyes, dove back under the covers, and when I emerged two hours later it was still there. So I am โฆ sticking a pin in the timeline now, while people are still doing recon, the conjunction filing wonโt begin in earnest until theyโve slept on it. So this is highly meta and probably some self care tips will be included.
Battlespace:
The online world is a conflict zone, much like Kursk, and right now weโre into intense โshapingโ of the space. We nabbed PressTV a few months ago and there are half a dozen things simmering that Iโd like to see resolved before mid-October. None of them look likely to shift, but PressTV was like that โฆ until one day it wasnโt. So the grind continues.
Here are some of the more notable shaping events:
Dmitry Simes & Scott Ritter raided by FBI
Richard THOMAS Medhurst arrested by The Met
BreachForums getting their own medicine
Meliorator Social Botnet takedown
There are of course more, but in general online assets that could be used for election fuckery are in the weapons free zone and big players getting nabbed throws entire ecosystems into disarray.
Twitter Weirdos:
How do you start with a person who has a psychiatric diagnosis requiring ongoing medication and end up with a nation state intelligence service? Did you read Pissboy Punished Procedurally? I was a nobody, and I really was DEEPLY unwell in 2012, but after twelve years of disciplined efforts to recover *waves wildly at all the IIB things*.
A bipolar individual who gets fascinated with some set of events or players will get drawn into things, they can be used as an outlet, they can be weaponized against other players โฆ but then comes the day when some unknown player contacts them one on one and feeds them stuff burns the original handler(s) like thermite.
Twenty years ago if some crackpot was going on about the CIA or KGB they were likely just nuts. Theyโd find MKULTRA, launch headfirst down that rabbit hole, and they could be ignored. The problem now is that J. Random Oddball can quite easily be identified, contacted, and given some work to do. One of the #BunnySec vermin did this - spoofed being Guccifer2 during 2016, got interviewed by FBI, and despite being a diagnosed something or other, she parlayed that into a long run as a tool used to provide operational friction to others.
If you want to launder something preposterous into the global dialog, you gotta start somewhere. Social media made that MUCH easier than it used to be.
Stop The Squeal:
There are twenty six people in the MAGA Metldown graph whoโve served as a Cooperating Human Source to one degree or another. Kash Patel grudgingly gave up some details on one episode. Microchip is a real snitchโs snitch, I admire his utterly despicable nature. CHS6 here means January 6th, CHSGA is the Georgia cases, CHSCCJ is those associated with Charles Johnson, and there at the lower left you see Pissboy.
And this is just what we know from court. The FBI is running their largest investigation ever in connection with January 6th. Theyโve flipped a bunch of people theyโve arrested โฆ and some of them were handled quietly. My favorite example of this is Ali Akbar alias Ali Alexander. He went to ground in Orange County, didnโt do much for a while, but did get located.
I have nothing other than my own observations, but I am not gonna be a bit surprised if Mr. Stop The Steal becomes the target of a Stop The Squeal effort. If Iโm right that wonโt come until way too late and itโll be hilarious to watch the internet court proceedings as people dig themselves in deeper trying to argue their way out of it.
Nutrition & Supplements:
2024 is gonna take a whole 366 days and due to crazypants election time dilation itโs gonna seem like about ten years. The very best thing you can do is eat healthy stuff that you walked to the grocery store to get and I have a basket of recommendations for supplements that might help.
magnesium - #1 natural calming thing, but balance with calcium. I like Doctorโs Best Bone Builder.
kava kava - benzos are addictive, kava does much of what Ativan does without the hazard. NOW Foods & Supplements has a good price.
Ashwagandha - an adoptogen, Iโve only had one bottle of Bronson Ashwagandha, going to re-order while Iโm writing this.
delta 8 THC - gives me demon headaches so I avoid, others report good results.
L-theanine - the active stuff from green take, Natureโs Trove is good.
Taurine - good for you and your cat.
Noopept - a neuropeptide, which for me dispelled post-Lyme brain fog.
And before that, quit smoking, stop drinking, get highly processed food out of your diet, avoid corn syrup, emulsifiers, gluten if it bugs you โฆ ya know, do that old person obligate vegan before your digestive tract forces it upon you.
Conclusion:
Even if the high diver survives, heโll be a broken husk. I hate to see anybody suffer, but there are times when their particular cog being removed from the machine is better for all sentient beings. During the time Iโve been active online two people who hunted me have perished, two others have been sidelined by disabling brain injuries, and four others checked out, I think all with fentanyl, and only some were accidental.
So eat well. Take your supplements. Get some exercise. Have a look at Sounds Of Silence, Recognizing & Remediating Burnout, and Silent Lucidity. If you do not know the signs of needing to take a break youโd better get busy learning them. Having moved three months ago, my new environment is really conducive to healthy extracurricular activity, and my stress level is way down, even though overall tempo is up. I probably should contrive a break before mid-October, but not sure Iโm in the position to do so.
A hour off a day. A day off a week. A long weekend every month. And a week off every quarter. There are times where all hands on deck are actually needed, but theyโre not as common as someone new to the game would think. So pace yourselves โฆ
