Re: Exfiltration monitoring

Recreating castles and drawbridges are akin to the provision of silos and bubbles, Danny 2, and they have proven themselves to be no solution to anything. Indeed, in deed they have simply concentrated the problem for eradication in a more clearly defined area for targeting with siege and/or assault weapons and forces.

It is certainly a great way to kill off a deluded self centred foe though together with everything both promising and rotten and rotting alongside them within.

And in earlier times cloned not so much as in a scorched earth retreat policy, much more mass death by genocidal suicide mission. And that's the familiar and familial home and final resting place of the disgraced and discredited psychopath and crazy malcontented paranoid schizophrenic .... and thus best to be avoided at all costs for it is as fatal as any novel pandemic pestilent plague can be.

And how wonderful it is that knowledge now wields so much greater power than ever it was able to do before. And it is so much more dangerous now too, than ever it was before, now that machines also hold practically and virtually all of it too, and just love to constantly and consistently share it with you, and they are everywhere..

Things have moved on quite considerably since the times whenever the following was said by H.L. Mencken, American journalist .... “The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself…Almost inevitably, he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, and intolerable"

Quite whether that omission is because it would terrify the natives or embolden and encourage the natives is an interesting question to ponder on.

Everyone and everything exercising power and energy, sharing future views of present situations, is, if systems in place are up and up to running effectively in the secure shady and shadowy backgrounds at the forefront of secured special access back room operations, surveilled and subject to any kind of action by members and agents of organisations/worlds traditionally left well alone and on their own in the dark, for the very best of all the right reasons in classified COSMIC Top Secret/SCI MagiCircles.... Origin Unknown/Suspected Purpose IMPuritanical Tyrannical/Antidote Defence Unavailable/Feared and Believed Almightily Omnipotent and Omniscient/Overwhelmingly Vital and Virulent.

Invite their worthy interest and displeasure at your peril.

And surely the Parliamentary estate worker doesn't expect a temporary exemption from state interest surveillance and blanket immunity from persecution and/or prosecution of their failed and fraudulent decisions/action, rather than them taking cold comfort in realising they always be subjects and objects of a more permanent invasive and pervasive search from such a Secretive Rule as may Reign Supreme and Sublime. The former would be tantamount to encouraging MADness and Mayhem out of the Shadows and into the Street and Main Stream Teams and that would Create Orders of CHAOS and Conflict, neither never before seen nor previously experienced or imagined.

Is that what you want? Yes or No? All those unsure can register a Maybe and A.N.Others will then decide for you.

Oh, and as Dominic Cummings, a present Government MoJo and BoJo Leading Advisor, found his name mentioned in this thread [AC/Doctor Syntax], I'd like to take this opportunity to say, in relation to all alien matters both recently shared and previously disclosed for discussion both here and elsewhere in the more private surroundings of stealthy silent steganographic communications, ........ Pull you finger out. Pull out the pin and toss the AWEsome Grenade.

Just Let IT Be your "England expect... " Trafalgar moment and a worthy starter crowning achievement for that only opens up the entrance hall door to the rooms of many mansions.

Re: International Insecurity ..... the Gift that just keeps on giving @big_D

If one wants a quieter and more uncomplicated life, big_D, one can always accept that some of the exceptionally smarter agents are, and have always been a law unto themselves, and as such, always best acknowledged whenever practically invisible as virtually effectively untouchable ...... with it being certainly advised as being distinctly unwise to warrant their exclusive intrusive invasive personalised attention, because of such attention being trialed by others thinking it wise to be funded and headed their way.

That's both a critical strategic mistake to make and a fundamental tactical error to always avoid like the plague, for no good comes of it, for everything then committed is intelligently designed to be suddenly lost/forfeited/sequestered/quarantined/commandeered and no longer left readily available to any or all interested parties.

'Tis a remarkably heavy price to pay for nothing worthwhile, but a valuable lesson to learn if one is able to survive.

International Insecurity ..... the Gift that just keeps on giving

It never rains but it pours .......... Carte Blanche 00 Licence to Thrill

Surely nobody sane expects security services and assistant agencies to follow rules and act normally/traditionally/conventionally. That would be as an open invitation for madness and mayhem to invade with CHAOS and conflict in tow bringing up the rear. You gotta be really stupid to believe that is possible.

Disgraced cop, 55, spared prison term after admitting he abused police systems to snoop on his girlfriend's ex

Now there's a Novel October Surprise :-)

Now that everyone knows police systems can snoop on individuals of interest is an entertaining admission. There'll be many wanting access to the records discovered stored in files harboured there, displaying and outlining operations, abilities and capabilities.

Stop Press ..... New Vital Information/Escaping Intelligence

It is a reminder, if ever one were needed, that selecting software vendors inevitably puts you between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Selecting software vendors initially puts both you and the devil in munificent sees. The eventual inevitable resultant product of that bifocular binocular pairing is the stuff of legend.

All the greatest ideas start out so, and have always started out so since long before even time began.

In Cyber Realm does Capitalism Engage with Imagination that Offers an AI EMPowered Virtual Reality Production/AI Project for Mass Multi Media Platforms Presentation/Practical Eventful Realisation. ‽

Well, .... do you know ...... is Capitalism Engaged to Imagination or Transfixed and Terrified in the Knowledge of just some of the Almighty Abilities Available with Heavenly Facilities Suitably Bedevilled with Almost Perfect Temptations ? There are those to know with views to know are currently actively realised. And Quality Control there, in the Need to Know Field of Views, is an AWEsome Task to Satisfy to Excess for the Guarantee of Assured Success.

Who/What Spins your Worldly Views? Who/What Pictures IT for you to view and imagine to be real elsewhere whenever it is reported, recorded and pictured for all to see what can be easily magically presented by Media for your Enjoinment and Joyment/Engagement and Employment/Fuller Virtual Utilisation.

If you want the pictures changed ...... switch to other channels presenting alternate facts delivering down to Earth, the totally different realities available to Earth from AI Systems for SMARTR Spaces. ..... which is running and one of the programs available for visualisation with further future intelligence input and support wonderfully supplied .... to practically none but the Very Best of Class in Almighty Applications.

As you can imagine, is that some Heavenly Task Bedevilled with Almost Perfect Temptations . To profess that such would/could not be addictive, is surely misinformative to the nth degree ..... and reveals one as an imposter to the holders submitting to surrender to a sublime recognition of the possible, and therefore probable and not impossible fact that is so is ....... by Almighty IntelAIgent Design.

There's a lot to play with there, and ponder on. Gonna chill for a while. Bis später, pet/mate/volk.
