I was thinking last night, after I couldn't get onto Nostr Nests cause my paper-cup-and-string Nostr setup had failed me , is that this move by Apple , is indictive of a broader play by co-ordinated centralised authorities that dominate most of the activity on the web. There is a strong desire to redefine the web, and how users interact with it.

Whitney Webb , and her website UnlimitedHangout.com is an excellent source of information regarding global trends in power dynamics. She notes that there is a concerted "two pronged attack" going on at the minute by globalist institutions. On one hand, there is a concerted effort by governments worldwide to put everything on the internet, but at the same time , to alter the internet itself, to restrict it and "reign it in".

For example, they want you using social media, just not Damus, and so on and so on....

I am just going to blast through a quick series of topics that ran through my head when I heard of this Apple fiasco in no particular order.

-Cyber Polygon

-Digital Gulag

-Digital Identitites

-Cyber False Flag "Terrorism"

-RESTRICT act (US)

-Online Harms Bill (UK)

-Digital Services Act (EU)

-How Covid 19 weaponised the idea of "disinformation online"

I am a bit rambling now , but if you can imagine , that was just some of the stuff that quickly came to the foreground of my thought.

What do other people think?

It’s happening for sure. We need homemade hardware.

What do you mean man ? Like , scavenge hardware and repurpose it and stuff like that.

I have a reoccurring thought that won't leave me , and depending on who I talk to they either laugh at me , or get worried about it , and it is this:

I think that there is a very real possibility in the not so distant future , that in order to access the internet , you will need to use your bio-metric information. Your fingerprint or Iris.

This might sound looney tunes to some people , but this is a reoccuring talking point of the globalist institutions and power brokers .

The likes of the WEF has the power to ensure that the vast majority of the companies that manufacture the devices that we use on a daily basis like our laptops , tablets and phones incorporate this feature into the hardware.

It would make sense from their point of view to also outlaw hardware that does not incorporate this feature. (thanks to the WEF's "Young Global Leaders" programme , this is also very achievable )

Therefore, in this scenario, there will be a black market for hardware that does not have this feature.

Here in Australia they're talking about requiring KYC to access social media. Obviously it's just paper ID at the moment, but biometrics would be the obvious next step.

Nostr offers an excellent opportunity to circumvent what's coming. I just wish more people around here appreciated the importance of that rather than trying to make it acceptable to normies.

Man I'm hearing you loud and clear.

This shit is happening everywhere, but for some reason, some of the hairiest dystopian shit that I've seen is coming out of Australia. I think it was

nostr:npub12gu8c6uee3p243gez6cgk76362admlqe72aq3kp2fppjsjwmm7eqj9fle6 that was telling me that there is already a bank that has gone live with their CBDC project , and that they were using some kind of shitcoin or something ?

Is it true that the dole over there is a sort of a CBDC , like you can't buy booze and fags etc with it ?

And then you have the covid stuff , some of the stuff I was watching coming out Oz in 2021 was fucking hard to watch man. A man and woman getting handcuffed in front of their children for organising an anti-lockdown march on Facebook. A stretching across an entire street like fucking storm troopers or some shit .

Oz are good folk , I know they are, and this is happening everywhere , so I'm not having a go .

I remember there was a man in a horse in one video and he was trying to rally everyone against the Lockdowns braveheart style , man what a legend .

Yeah, Australia seems to be the testing ground for a lot of the globalist agenda. As Clive James once said, the problem with Australia is not so much that the population are descended from convicts but that so many are descended from prison guards. The lockdowns in Melbourne were an incredible indicator of just how far this country has fallen and what a lie our rebellious self-image is.

I haven't heard much about CBDCs here, but I know they're looking into it - same with the 15 minute cities stuff. The dole thing is something they only do in remote Aboriginal communities though.

So far, we haven't been locking people up for social media posts (though a few got arrested for trying to organise lockdown protests) like they do in England but there's probably a bunch of other fucked up stuff going on here that I'm overlooking. Australia is desperate to be taken seriously on the world stage so we'll sign up for whatever awful ideas are in fashion. Sadly, the covid response didn't surprise me at all.

One thing people do get wrong about Australia is guns. We don't have a gun culture like America obviously, and it's harder to buy one than it used to be, but there are still plenty of people who own them here. They're a necessity in the outback.

We have to stop using devices made by corporations as they are already loaded with spyware and unsovereign junk. At least assembling parts would be better and trying to build the hardware for us to operate a more decentralised web flowing on bitcoin, nostr and other freedom protocols. Because you ain’t wrong with all those triggers. They are coming. And they will throw the kitchen sink at it!

Sounds worrisome.

But #Bitcoin will fix this.
