Writer, publisher, broadcaster, free thinker. Our destiny is in the stars. Was at https://twitter.com/kevin_a_strom since 2014, terminated under Musk in 2023 within hours of an ADL demand. I prefer to use NOSTR, but I am also sometimes found on https://gab.com/kevinstrom Mathematics, physics, and genetics are the real words of God.

Ghislaine Maxwell belongs to the self-chosen "elite," and Ross does not.

I am always working on my weekly scripted radio show. And I just finished editing, and writing the introduction for, Revilo P. Oliver's book, _The Origins of Christianity_.

Israel's murder-the-innocent strategy seems to be to make as many people as possible hate them, all over the Earth, and as fast as possible too. It's working!

Some people have the courage of their convictions. And others have no courage and no convictions. Most are somewhere in between, but sadly their "convictions" are usually utter nonsense.

Yes, perhaps. My PC (designed by me from readily available components in 2019, with the goal of running massive VST audio racks and hundreds of open browser tabs without choking) is about the size of twenty full-size hardback novels. I bought a giant old "General Electric" logo originally from a communications equipment rack and attached it to the main side plate. Looks great.

In 1990, our data storage was *heavy* 3,5" hard drives that stored 20-40 Megabytes, and HD floppy disks that stored 1,440 Kilobytes. People with plenty of cash had CD drives attached to their computers. CD /writers/ weren't a thing.

In 2000, hard drives wete still 3,5", but they held a thousand times more data than before. Floppies were slowly on their way out; everyone had CD readers, most had CD writers and a few had DVD drives.

In 2010, 3,5" hard drives were still a thing and they stored fifty times more data than before. Everone had DVD drives, many had DVD writers. HDDVD and BluRay (storing 20-25 GB of data) had become a thing. The floppy disk was a relic of the past. Laptop computers (using 2,5" hard drives) were not particularly expensive anymore and had become commonplace.

2020: 3,5" hard drives are still a thing and they store up to ten times more than before. SSDs with no moving parts are now becoming widespread in sizes up to around 256 GB. DVDs are common roughly the same way that VHS tapes of the 1980s are, both in home mivie collections and bargain bins for a quid or two. BluRay won over HDDVD but is rarely seen outside of tv/move/entertainment systems use. CDs aren't used anymore except by old-timers; most people stream their music. The LP music record is making a comeback.

2025: Soon... Hard drives store at least one thousand gigabytes of data, and up to 30 thousand gigabytes for the best of the best. SSDs start at 256 gigabytes and go to 8000-16000 for consumers at least. BluRay discs have reached quad-layer, able to store 100 GB, but very few people care about them any more. DVDs are old stuff now that's found either in a box in your attic or the odd disney animation or "my little pony" video in the mess in your kids' room. If your computer takes up more space than a laptop or a lunchbox, then you're a geek or a gamer (or both).

Well I'm not a gamer, so I must be...

To "conservative" Christian Zionists: Who has killed more of their own children, easy-abortion Israel, or the Occupied Territories, where it is illegal? Who has promoted not only abortion but the perversion and sexual mutilation of children by the millions, even in America: the Jewish power structure which is centered in Israel yet controls most US media -- or the Palestinians, who are against such practices? Is it Tel Aviv or Gaza which is widely known as "the world's gayest city"? Don't make heroes of your enemies.

I see people being sent to prison simply for trying to give others financial privacy and freedom. Often they are charged under obscure laws banning "unlicensed money transmitters." I can see no valid reason why people shouldn't be able to transmit money to anywhere or anyone, without first obtaining a "license."

There's actually no such thing as "money laundering." Concealing the source of one's funds in various ways is done constantly by individuals, governments, "NGO"s, charities, activists, freedom fighters -- the list goes on and on. Each has its reasons, some I'd agree with and some I wouldn't. But they only call it "money laundering" very rarely and selectively. Like legally-defined "racketeering" (which usually isn't racketeering at all), it's just a way for the people in power to hurt someone they don't like or for career advancement in the System that misrules us.

After Darwin published _On the Origin of Species_, there were whole roomfuls of well-financed books and articles 'refuting' Darwin published, probably very impressive to the average person at the time. But they were all preposterously wrong, are all laughable today, and are all forgotten -- and _On the Origin of Species_ still stands as a work of genius, which greatly advanced our consciousness of reality. So also will the works of William Gayley Simpson, Revilo P. Oliver, and William Luther Pierce one day be regarded. And the snipes of the controlled media attacking their ideas, so famous today, will be utterly forgotten.

Perhaps our admirable developers will soon be able to code faster than the banker-owned state can act, as their numbers increase and the state's competence decreases due to its own DEI policies, etc. But I do see your point.

Plans to "flee"? -- perhaps that's just a smear word for plans to travel, which everyone has. When the evil minions of the banker-owned state came for me on false charges, they used my possession of perfectly legal Loompanics books on financial privacy and living in cabins in the woods as "evidence" to deny me bail.

I usually avoid clichés "like the plague," but there is one that is so apropos to your question. I will adapt it slightly to today's reality: He who makes the money also makes the rules.
