Gabbard hearing went straight to Snowden

The US Govt wanted badly to join WW2 but public support wasn't there.

the Mcollum Memo outlines how support could be fostered and the Stimson Diary demonstrates they were aware of a pending attack.

October 7 1940 McCollum Memo:

It is not believed that in the present state of political opinion the United States government is capable of declaring war against Japan without more ado; and it is barely possible that vigorous action on our part might lead the Japanese to modify their attitude. Therefore the following course of action is suggested:

A. Make an arrangement with Britain for the use of British bases in the Pacific, particularly Singapore

B. Make an arrangement with the Netherlands for the use of base facilities and acquisition of supplies in the Dutch East Indies

C. Give all possible aid to the Chinese government of Chiang-Kai-Shek

D. Send a division of long range heavy cruisers to the Orient, Philippines, or Singapore

E. Send two divisions of submarines to the Orient

F. Keep the main strength of the U.S. fleet now in the Pacific[,] in the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands

G. Insist that the Dutch refuse to grant Japanese demands for undue economic concessions, particularly oil

H. Completely embargo all U.S. trade with Japan, in collaboration with a similar embargo imposed by the British Empire

If by these means Japan could be led to commit an overt act of war, so much the better. At all events we must be fully prepared to accept the threat of war.

12 Days before the attack on Pearl Harbor, Secretary of War, Henry Stimson wrote in his journal:

"(Roosevelt) brought up the event that we were likely to be attacked Monday, for the Japanese are notorious for making an attack without warning, and the question was how we should maneuver them into the position of firing the first shot without allowing too much danger to ourselves. It was a difficult proposition.”

That's the very reason I don't plan to ever own a Tesla.

if Subaru is doing this, I'd imagine most are doing this.

So it will be another venmo, cash app, or PayPal, except connected to your social media. What could go wrong? Surely there's no one that's lost their funding based on posting inconvenient truths...

Even better would be home nuclear generators.

Currently the have small scale modular generators for small cities but I think they could probably go smaller one day.

I learned how triggered I get when I see people call Snowden a traitor.

Courts declared the govt acted unconstitutionally spying on its citizens. Someone that risks their life to reveal that, is called a Patriot. If lives were put at risk for his action, blame the instigating government and their behavior, not the messenger.

Great episode!

Pretty cool to hear the behind the scenes of social media management and Jack's vision of bitcoin and open source free speech.

Is anyone aware of a WhatsApp style Nostr implementation?

The real town square is found here on nostr

was just going through my podcasts and realized I hadn't heard a new episode in months

I'm convinced that if the FBI posted evidence of a crime online, the ppl if the internet could solve the mystery faster than any organization.

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. I know, of course, that the past is falsified, but it would never be possible for me to prove it..."
