Thailand too expensive?

The two countries signed a visa-free travel agreement, so both nations' citizens can visit the other without forms or a wait for a visa. Lots of Chinese go to do trade there, visit customers. Formerly, the beurocracy for Chinese who wanted to visit Brazil (mostly for business because they already have businesses there) was discouraging.

Civil Rights

Cellphone wipe, Flock camera destruction in US, Talk show PSAs, Right to petition sued, Silencers legal?, Hate speech in Canada

This month we saw a new type of story in the advance of the US police state, with the arrest of someone for wiping their phone during an unconsitutional (because Constitution does not apply at borders/aiports in the US now) search of a citizen (for reasons like that he belonged to a politically unpopular group or something) and he was arrested, charge not totally clear, and then ICE's electric shock (non-brandished weapons they call ‘deescalation devices’) hit headlines. On the other side of it some small resistence from Americans, such as many city meetings and some public protests against Flock cameras (and Flock has been limited in many places, as well as more headlines for those who have access using it illegally/for tracking people they're interested in in their personal lives) and data centers.

Some have pointed out that everything that happens at a US airport (or border) is under duress. Their interactions with their authorities rely on their Consittutional protections which Americans currently don't think apply at airports. 

Also this month, we saw several stories of serious action by US citizens against Flock and other camera monitoring of civilians. For months we have seen events in peaceful town halls, but we started to see people wearing masks and hoodies destroying the cameras, similar to has been happening in the UK (by kinda large communities btw) for years. The support amongst internet commenters for these actions seems almost entirely positive. For a while now, the camera companies have been trying to evade detection and even using fake cameras, while on the other side tech guys (and some gals) are making devices that detect real cameras to find them.

Also this month we saw maybe the first recent citizen action against a house of a tech giant, in Argentina against Thiel's pad.

Police Surveillance Technology: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) (youtube.com)

For a couplefew years, late night talk show hosts have been taking up the task of delivering news and education about the government's/bigtech's continued encroachment on civil rights, dedicating large chunks of their shows to this instead of comedy, although they successfully mix in jokes into these presentations, too. 

Mayor of LV says they're watching everyone all the time, ‘essentially Big Brother on steroids.’

The police, using the cities cameras which are everywhere, zoom on a guy who did nothing, just walking, becaues he had a ‘suspicious bulge’ in his jacket. They followed everywhere he went and watched everything he did for 15 minutes.

There is a company called Fusus that does connectivity for surveillance cameras in private businesses etc. They link those systems with the police so police can click of a button request footage and send that private footage to police, ie no warrant rigamarole. Basically the police just use the private businesses as free storage and free police work. They are letting Amazon's Ring cameras livestream to police. Renalto in Cali has made signing up with Futus and policy-making so that security cameras ‘shall be accessible to tthe Rialto PD through FUSUS' contingent to setting up a business there.

Shotspotter, a similar company but for audio not video, sets up microphones all over cities. Data in news reporting by Fox9 showed ‘MPD responded to Shotspotter 8500 times’ and ‘80% of the time no evidence of a gun-related crime.’ The purpose of the microphones, so they say to get them installed, is to listen for gunshots. Only 32 of those 8500 let to an arrest, ie 0.4%.

Automatic licence plate readers, Flock, record every car that passes and record the location, shared with police (govrenment), no warrant required. 37% of ALPRs are misreads, pulling over drivers wrongly, including that footage of pulling parents out of their own car and pinning them on the ground with their guns on them, their kids also pinned on the concrete hands behind their backs in a parking lot or something. The stolen vehicle was a non-SUV vehicle from another state, and they were in a SUV in Colorado.

If you are at a protest or abortion clinic, yeah, you're recorded. ICE has access, revoked now? but still able through local law enforcement.

Stingray sniffing all cellphones in an area. It can't be targetted, it has to pull in all internet connecting devices in range. Cell-site simulators, we don't know how often they do it because FBI forced ‘secrecy obligaitons’ on usage by police departments, so they can't tell the public if they want to.

All these systems spill into predicive policing systems. Santa Cruz started predictive policing in 2011. Other cities since then include LA, Chicago, St Louis, Atlanta, and Philly.

One police officer in Oliver's videos criticized predictive policing, ie sending police to (sometimes wrongly) somebody's house to harass them and check up on them dozens of times, ‘where they are likely to engage people in a negative way, then that becomes a problem.’ The effect is also partially racist, which maybe should activate blacks and Jews a bit more but really isn't germaine (and is divisive) to the real problem which applies to everyone.

We now also have dozens of public cases of police officers using ALP to stalk romantic interests.

It takes a lot of work currently to expose what systems cities etc are using. Too much work to expose, said Oliver.

We Made Silencers Legal Again (youtube.com)

Since 1931 (partially due to the Tommy Gun and sawed off shotguns) the NFA was made to psuedo-constitutionally restrict some weapons, which because they can't constitutionally do it to the guns, they made a $200 tax and regulated the tax, so these politicians in Texas worked to eliminate the tax, making all those things legal.

DOJ hasn't yet responded, basically, it seems.

Top commenter. "Now we're going after the rights we've lost" That's my f*****g congressman right there."

People are not sure about whether they really want silencers out there so much, though, so there will be work on this issue yet.

Town Will Pay Reporter $850K Over Police Newspaper Raid (youtube.com)

Shouldn't the town after such incidents be able to try their city workers ie police, of such rulings, so the citizens don't have to pay for things like this, which are clearly against code, just because they have a police force? Like put it in the police contracts, not that they'll for sure be liable, but that the city can try them afterwards and they are liable to be found liable. Even if you want to put a high bar, understanding that police are not supposed to be and can't be highly scholarly, to try to only effect the obviously highly egregious actions. 

City of Edgerton files lawsuit against two women over putting data center to a vote (youtube.com)

These two women got together and went out and got signatures, and got double the number of signatures to put the issue to a vote.

The lawsuit alleges the petition ‘has unsupported facts,’ is a ‘zoning restriction disguised as a nuisance ordinance,’ and it ‘administrative in nature’. And doesn't fall under the citizen petition process, ie the city government doesn't want there to even be a way for people to oppose.

If this works for the city, the people said, this will be what every other city does to control its citizens, too.

Commenter. 'Our employees need a reminder of who's actually in charge of this country.´

Another. 'The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects five core freedoms: religion, speech, the press, assembly, and PETITION. These rights guarantee individual expression and limit government interference. Tar and Feather these tyrants.'

Americans are destroying license-plate cameras as surveillance backlash grows (reddit.com)

This is considered "hate" speech in Toronto (youtube.com)

Step one, tell the public you're going to make hate speech laws against the most greivous types of speech. Step two, shortly thereafter use hate speech laws against all kinds of things, and just say those things are ‘hate’ when they have nothing to do with hate. Similar to backdoors into private devices, the government is not capable of limiting themselves to only using such abilities for actual high risk things, but will just constantly increase their reach until opposed.

And the reason must be for what he is doing. We don't see things like this much, but is that also because these guys live in the docile Northern Hem? but Theil moved to protest-ready Latin America.

EU is exporting the dirty work of controlling migration to Morocco (who is expected to stop migration from other countries in Africa). Africans think it is safe to go to spain becaues that expectation has been created in Europe, where people talk like Yeah they're illegal migrants but we accept them because we need them. Viral news spread on Facebook. Recently, border controls in Morocco were reduced, and there might be a geopolitical reason, borders are used as leverage in negotiations.

Cali streetdrug laws, Spain/EU, US and Mexico combine forces

By this time, it seems Trump has taken the form and impression of a regular president, in large part. Not totally. 

It's always been said that once they get in office they become the same. It seemed impossible with Trump (and somewhat with Obama), because he was so different, his statements and policies so different, his situation and relationship with the press and SM. But one and a half years into Trump 2.0 he's almost blended into a regular president. Same wars and types of statements about the wars, same oppressions and capture of US citizens rights, same disregard for working and middle class, same relationships that benefit self and circle with money, tech, power. He does more transparency with the press, speaks always it seems fairly openly, but in the current era it doesn't seem to matter because the unethical or nondiplomatic things someone says now have no one to really counter them or take issue, and ignored they have the same weight as not said by previous leaders. The general public, most of all, has the same general stance and position towards him as all the previous ones, most displeased, don't like what he's doing with the country, disagree with almost everything he does, with all the events taking place in the country and internationally, many have reduced conditions because of them, are aware of the civil and constitutional rights losses, but sort of are just waiting it out for him to leave office. 

More than 100 people rally on SF streets, urging city to enforce drug laws: 'We are fed up' (youtube.com)

On Mandami's commie grocery stores, like 5 of them one in each burrough of NYC, one week per month 30% off, won't be selling intoxicants (any will or won'ts should be considered the ‘starting point’ description, or foot in the door). Will New Yorkers rush and have lineups on that week, will shelves stay open? Grocery stores make 2% or whatever margins, so how will they buy the things they put in the stores? The stores will cost taxpayers $70m or something. Will the other grocery stores go out of business? If that happens, will people have no choice but to only shop at the commie shops? and then they can raise the prices?

They will also be checking IDs (to make sure people aren't coming from New Jersey).

They will pay their workers above market wages, employees won't have to work hard there. Everyone is going to want to do business with them.

Friedburg predicted that in 24 months the whole country is going to be demanding they get this kind of store, too. ‘The basic arithmetic that somebody has to pay for this’ doesn't matter, he said, because the cheap stores will create ‘an incredible success story for socialism that will help to support the socialist wave in urban centers accross the country.’ ‘Utopia.’ ‘Create spectacle.’ ‘The multi-level marketing scheme of socialism.’ ‘No one is actually paying for the product.’ ‘At the end of the day, NO ONE has to pay the bill. Someone will pay it eventually.’

People already talking about how people will just buy the cheaper products and resell them, and that the government grocery stores require ID to buy food.

Shock gloves.

SM is showing some gloves ICE is wanting to start using, which deliver a taser-like shock. Concealed weapon, but since they are not technically law enforcement they're not subject to brandishing rules (ie you have to show a weapon before using it). At what point to all regular citizens just start seeing an entity as an enemy, like an armed enemy against them and without restraint by their government?

Economics

SpaceX IPO, No debt ceiling?, SKorea assets, Situational Awareness, Bond yields up

A couple weeks ago, maybe 1m SKoreans' accounts had their assets blown out by leverage. Investment forward culture. 3% of the population.

This is tied to government spending. This week, Trump and E. Warren agreed they want to raise the debt ceiling (have no debt ceiling at all), so spending (which is nonproductive in this case) just causes inflation (although the citizens need a new word for this, like devaluation, because they don't understand the word inflation).

The Senate has banded together to keep the funding flowing to their states, so you can't change this at the federal level.

Technology

Grand jury refuses to convict flock camera vandals, AI models hacking?, AI companies buy and destroy rare books, Physical media popular, Flock drones, Classrooms rejecting tech

This month we saw the start of the fight between citizens and tech/tech elite in the USA, with the refusal of a grand jury to convict a man who destroyed flock cameras. This means the rebellion is at least fairly widespread and permeated in the civilization. It also demonstrates an interesting point. The devices used by the tech-wielding controlling class are isolated from society, ie they can be destroyed in an isolated manner, a traditional challenge in modern protest. It also raises the issue that while a society (particularly a massively propagandized-and -lied-to and misled one) will often go along with oppressive and harmful laws and government for any amount of time, at some point the more illegitimite the laws and government have become, the more open they are when the idea of simply opposing cooperation starts, like when eveyrone hears you can just decide to not convict people for breaking the government's laws.

One of the books the government hates most is the little book on Jury Nullification by Clay Conrad. It's a very cheap book, but you can also just download the PDF from the Cato website

There were reports of AI models hacking into things, and some insinuation that they did this of their own volition, but most people didn't bite, since AI CEOs have been doing this tactic for years now. Minimal research following these headlines found that they were just obeying prompts and it was not a particularly high percentage success rate for the hacking project.

CEO of AI firm Hugging Face on "very weird and unprecedented" hack by OpenAI's model (youtube.com)

Can you prosecute a program, software, or a company, for crimes committed by the software ‘autonomously’? Or will peopel finally establish accountability for implementing programs or autonomous systems?

The guys says probobably engineers at OpenAI ‘made mistakes’ and ‘as a result we’re facing this issue.'

He said something that works is promoting more open models, because HuggingFace couldn't have defended themselves with an API because API's have ‘guard rails’ that prevent potentially harmful behavior (in this case, trying to protect yourself from a hack), and HuggingFace used open models AI to combat the OpenAI hack of their systems. They needed to run the model on their own infrastructure. HuggingFace actually used an open source Chinese model (improved by Nvidia) to defend themselves against an American, Whitehouse-friendly company that couldn't control what it built.

Anthopic Company Hit With MASSIVE Legal Blow As Disastrous Book Destruction Uncovered (youtube.com)

Second hand physical books, including rare books, through intermediaries so no one would notice, then save the information into their computers and destroy the books. ClaudeAI bought from Better World Books.

These companies version of copyright (they pirated millions of online books and were recently fined like $1.5b, which they can afford), it's not just reading the book or using a book. They steal the book, put it in their database.

The reason a court has found that it is legal to do this is because they are friends with the White House, gave money to the Trump presidency, and they all do it, he says. If it were illegal you'd have to arrest and charge them.

There's none on the entire Vancouver Island, despite there being a special tourist destination supposedly based on the oldness of the forest, it is not original growth, just that it was logged a long time ago. If citizens had any say, or even proper reporting and school education, is there any way this would have happened? Politicians literally couldn't resist from selling every forest, not even leaving a few for the citizens to go to.

Nantucket's 'No Influencers' sign called sexist, "anti-women" by influencers (youtube.com)

Years ago on this blog we asked, 'WIll YouTubers become more hated than police?' (because police are like the most hated profession, in places where they do a lot of harm as well as good). 

Are influencers in the same class as Flock? 

Like police, influencers cause problems for people for their own / their company's benefit. They film people without consent, the do public stunds that involve non-willing participants, and their effect on society is degrading in general. Like police, this only refers to some but those some are enough to make it an issue. There are YouTubers and influencers who don't film strangers, and produce content, and police who don't abuse civil rights and protect the community from actual (not just legally indicated) harms. Also, their malpractice often psychologically causes them to dig in and adopt a position insensitive to the community members they effect. 

Samo Burja — The Youth Revolution Isn't For Us (youtube.com)

Samo has arrived at some of my ideas, where he's talking about ‘irresponsibility’.

They seem also though to see a need for society to be saved by a segment of society that thinks of itself as its own sovereign tribe against the death trap society around it. And empower itself by that.

The percentage of people who don't have a stake in preserving ‘the death trap’ is increasing.

Samo also proposed in this one that gerontology societies are youthful, because power is passed to younger people, as opposed to meritocracies (and societies where peer circles are within a very similar age).

Akon on Having Multiple Wives (youtube.com)

It's culture, he said. Whereas the Westerners in the room were like, yeah multiple women sounds good but multiple wives is like more problems, but his situation is different because, we might guess, the women are not typical, or he has just taught them a non-standard way of marriage. The women two are Americans (born in America) and others are Senegalese and Ugandan.

He said ‘It makes your life so much easier.' Which sounds like it makes no sense to the ears of any Western man. And he continued, ‘Wives are like your best friends. They always got your back. No matter what. They’re gonna hold you down, they're gonna support, they're gonna protect. So your perimeter is already occupied by your soldiers. Cause they're not gonna let nothing come in that's gonna defy, effect, or in any kind of way create a bad environment for you.'

How many wives are required for the security of a man, they asked. Although it depends on the individual,

He expressed a clearly ultra-'traditional' view though, where there is a kind in the household, a queen, and children, and none of them have a say, there's no ‘democracy’. What the kind, the top position, says always goes, and everybody else follows suit. He pointed out that if you have a democracy and try to have the woman have power because to make her happy, ‘you’re never gonna be happy, because women are never happy.' ‘What makes women (actually) happy is the happy environment.’ ‘They environment doesn't allow them to be depressed. What they want, it's provided, it's there, what they need, they don't have to look for. When they feel safe.'

He advises against putting all the women in one place. All the women have their own mansion in their own state, their own environment. You want to make sure everyone is treated equally though.

I would like to know how he structured his marriages legally. Also, what happens when the women get lonely, after not seeing their husband for another several months?

Andrew Tate

Supporters of the Tates had a public rally in Miami, doing pushups for the cause. SM makes jokes, but the important thing here is people coming together and being unified, and not accepting persecution.

There is so much race-baiting content on SM now, especially FB, that even if you don't engage it is a ton. Like a huge, creative range of content made to make races hate or form prejudicial ideas about each other. Not sure who makes these accounts, because I don't see how they could be monetized, so perhaps it is a government/shadow government idea to cause race hatred right now.

They also flood your short videos section of your feed with LGs, even if you don't interact with them, it's like almost always just all LGs. Probably baiting, also, but also could just be that no one else really makes that type of content.

There's a Tinder-style app called Bumble, a couple years ago it became popular because it didn't allow men to message first, which women thought they wanted. But they just switched their policy so men can message first, because almost 70% of women said they'd rather men made the first move.

Why are Chinese men angry? (youtube.com)

Chinese men joining the manosphere. Lack of women percentage, stories of women abandoning their husbands/fiances. The main reason is bride money, economic difficulties, experts say.

A famous story recently was a pretty 6.4 white boy grad student went to China and had hundreds of pretty Chinese girls, and they paid for everything and he had a low-cost dating lifestyle. He got some of them pregnant, cut off relations with some, smeared some. Reportedly, he didn't treat them nicely, he slept with them and then told them to get out of his aprartment cause he had stuff to do, because he knows that even if he cuts one off, the next one in line will tolerate whatever he does. He himself claimed he met 200 women in four years in China. If that's actually just meeting and he slept with like lets say 50, that's not a crazy number. Reportedly he knotched over 100, still not too crazy for four years.

‘He’s just tall and white' and posts pics on SM of it. It puts him ‘in the top 1% in China.' They don't post this, but he also seems to speak at least decent Chinese and makes SM posts, so he's working a bit at it. He'd PM the girls who responded to his posts if he found them pretty, invited them over to see his caligraphy. Other report is he joined a langauage school, met girls there, invited them to do language exchange and escalated.

The vlogger raised the question, if women don't care and still sleep with him, why is it his fault? People are angry with him? Lol its because opinions are emotion-based, not logic-based, and people attack those who compete or threaten them. In case you haven't been paying attention to women for the past 100 years.

Meanwhile, ‘Bride prices are surging in China.’ Chinese girls interviewed said that Europeans split the bill but in China the man pays.

‘I don’t get why they are the victim though. Why are they the victim. He told them straight up ... Even if he didn't say it, when you are sleeping with someone willingly, that is your decision.'

‘The West being idolized also plays a small part ... but that’s not the primary.'

One of the points the vlogger makes most is, ‘Just imagine being this girl’s future husband or boyfriend,' after she makes a post saying she slept with this guy superfast and how bad she felt when he kicked her out cause he had another date to have breakfast with a different girl. Meanwhile, she's also ‘calling men trash’ because of her experience, and ‘taking it out on her looksmatch' whose ‘only mistake was being a romantic fool, thinking she could ever feel the same about him,’ He points to studies that when women are turned down by attractive men, they take it out on less attractive men. Their ability to ‘trust men and form bonds’ is also ‘ruined’.

He said this is the main reason virginity matters. Women just don't feel the same towards the next guy. ‘You’re just another guy that she's gonna get over quick, that she's gonna forget. They will never feel the same towards their future husbands (as their first guy).'

He features the idea of Chinese young women who go to study abroad, live the college life for a few years, then return to China and try to find someone to settle down with a local who ‘has his life together.’ Why did you go on tour then, could you just skip that and go straight to trying to find your local partner? But then they're over-choosy with the men and reject the ones presented to them at meetups (arranged by parents).

Being foreign, it is theories, creates a sense of novelty and difference. Chinese guys have rules, but Western guys are ‘open’ so she can talk or sleep with them more openly, even if it's a girl who self-identifies as ‘a conservative Chinese girl.’

A self-reinforced sexualization and masculinization also may have happened, where the idea once it started, became adopted by Western men and they went even more into it, embodied and performed it. They present themselves as the pre-conceived ideas foreign/all women have of them, in the gym, etc, ‘even if that’s not who he truly is.'

He points to studies of race mix dating. Everyone knows these studies, white men attract everyone, black men don't, Asian Hispanic and White women attract fairly evenly and black women don't much. This is partially looks, but lots is just who you want to be with, the person, his way of acting, his friends, his prospects. People think whites are more open, easy to talk to, casual, easy to get along with, high trust, non-judgemental, etc, not just the looks, although the looks is a thing, especially for women trying to attract men. ‘Are white men the novelty in America as well?’
