(&lt;b&gt;TW&lt;/b&gt;itt&lt;b&gt;E&lt;/b&gt;r) in 2021 and is seeking a home for his Big Lie.&lt;br&gt;In more big news one of the donald&amp;#39;s female clones, "Mangrene", has also been banished.&lt;br&gt;Those two kept getting caught cheating, which is perfectly normal for the Cheat Camp, go Cheats go.&lt;br&gt;Everyone saw the donald use a foreign object in the last championship bout with Robinette.&lt;br&gt;It didn&amp;#39;t help, his Big Lie was stale, the donald lost fair and square, everyone saw him counted out. &lt;br&gt;But the Cheat Camp certainly isn&amp;#39;t finished, they have new sponsors, new slogans, new bad ideas.&lt;br&gt;The Greasy Old Pig Fighters with their "Proud of the Plague" campaign are still doing their best to obstruct.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bitch&lt;/b&gt; Mc&lt;b&gt;Con&lt;/b&gt;nell has a new roommate in the wrestling camp, Dishonest Ron, they are a natural tag team.&lt;br&gt;Dishonest Ron from WisCon wants to rename his state to WisCon, "eliminate the sin,embrace the con".&lt;br&gt;Dishonest Ron from WisCon has been kicked off of YouTube, God can&amp;#39;t help him with Google I guess.&lt;br&gt;The Bitch is looking tired, he hates being a has been, isn&amp;#39;t impressed by the donald and likes his own lies.&lt;br&gt;It looks like the Fox News people will be paying billions for their licence to "lie for entertainment purposes". &lt;br&gt;Fox&amp;#39;s Fucker TarlCon is the darling of that disease movement and has a huge audience of fucker fans.&lt;br&gt;Fucker doesn&amp;#39;t really think, he just air thinks, his impressive air thinking attracts airheads like crazy. &lt;br&gt;I am not sure we will be seeing the usual sex traffickers at the Cheat Camp, Maxwell is out.&lt;br&gt;However recent lovefest pics show the donald nuzzling up to "Girl Giver" Gaetz, a model GOP hopeful.&lt;br&gt;Mangrene and Girl Giver are the future of The Republican Party of the United States.&lt;br&gt;It has to make Republicans feel good to know that the space lasers will be stopped and teen girls given.&lt;br&gt;The plan of the Libertarians to give everyone a free pony might have some real crazy competition there. &lt;br&gt;The old standbys are gone, Roger the Felon, the first Cheat camp manager Manafort, the Fixer Cohen.&lt;br&gt;I am sure everyone was happy to see Manafort and his Oligarchs pardoned alongside the Felon.&lt;br&gt;You don&amp;#39;t see these folks but they haven&amp;#39;t quit, the Felon is always committing a crime for the donald.&lt;br&gt;Slipping him salt, handing him blades and foreign objects, they aren&amp;#39;t called the Cheat Camp for nothing.&lt;br&gt;What we have now looks a lot different, the donald, Mangrene, &lt;b&gt;Bitch&lt;/b&gt; Mc&lt;b&gt;Con&lt;/b&gt;nell and Lily Livered Lindsay.&lt;br&gt;The Greasy Old Pigs all want to have a new holiday declared on January 6th, "Attack America Day".&lt;br&gt;the donald says that demons are trying to Stop the Spiel but it sure looks like the Capitol was attacked.&lt;br&gt;So we have the new royalty all lined up for 2022, there is Stop the Spiel, Big Lie, little d, the donald&lt;br&gt;Call him the huckster, friend of the fuckster, "Lick his Crack to Bring the donald Back".&lt;br&gt;His female clone, Mangrene, defender of the GOP against Jewish space lasers and Kwanzaa.&lt;br&gt;Lily-livered Lindsay, credited for stopping the donald from publicly celebrating "Attack America Day". &lt;br&gt;No matter what they say all these GOP wrestlers support the Attack America agenda, they do it daily.&lt;br&gt;Millions of wrestling fans in America and around the world know America is honest, they know it.&lt;br&gt;America went ahead and did her thing and the donald and the Greasy Old Pigs lost.&lt;br&gt;The Big Lie didn&amp;#39;t work, America is honest and the Greasy Old Pigs continue to attack America today.&lt;br&gt;The Cruzin Cockroach scuttles away from the Cheat Camp entirely calling the day "terrorism".&lt;br&gt;Not sure how that will work out for all the Cockroach lovers out there, a hard choice, scuttling or the donald&lt;br&gt;Crowds of angry people attacking the Capitol can only mean a lot of fun or a lot of terror.&lt;br&gt;If attacking America and seeing a few defenders killed appeals to you, join the donald&amp;#39;s new website*&lt;br&gt;Regular attacks on regular Americans, regular attacks on the law, on elections, on democracy.&lt;br&gt;You won&amp;#39;t read things elsewhere like you will find on the new Donbookagramchat.&lt;br&gt;The seventy plus court trials that were lost, all lies. On Donbookagramchat you will find the Spiel.&lt;br&gt;The Spiel explains everything, everything, the lost law suits, the corrupt judges, the bleach, everything .&lt;br&gt;You just have to pay attention to the Spiel and you will get it, it is like a UV light turns on in your arse. &lt;br&gt;So I have been told, well that is it for tonight folks.&lt;br&gt;So in the meantime, and in between time, take care of yourself and we will see you soon.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;*the donald has signed up with MadeInChina and is making a brand new site called Donbookagramchat. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cheat Camp is inviting all fucker fans and others who are proud to be Republicans to sign up.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;If you believe America is dishonest, elections are rigged and vaccines are useless, then join the GOP.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;If all election volunteers in your community are dishonest, join the GOP and attack America today. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;All you will need is a major credit card which allows recurring charges.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Your monthly donation amount will depend on what level of billing you are willing to accept.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;This post is bought to you TraitorAde, the drink of disputed champions, and Little Desk and Diaper

fans!&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;or&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;What about, what a bout&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This has been one huge fight tonight and these tag teams have given it their all.&lt;br&gt;David "Corruption": Perdue and Kelly "Greed" Loeffller are done, it is over, they are not getting up.&lt;br&gt;"Reverend" Warnock had no trouble with "Greed" Loeffler, her greed and wealth couldn&amp;#39;t buy it.&lt;br&gt;The Cheat camp lies tried to make the Greed good but it is pretty hard to hide that undisguised Greed.&lt;br&gt;If Kelly "Greed" Loeffler hoped that David "Corruption" Perdue would not be corrupt, ooooh, bad move.&lt;br&gt;No old slimy swamp thing, David "Corruption" Perdue puts Greed to shame in the wallow.&lt;br&gt;Padding, graft, objects, bites, gouges, insider trading, front running, hair pulling, nutting, corrupt to the core.&lt;br&gt;If Corruption ever needed a larger capital C it would be for this fighter, Greed is second to Corrupttion.  &lt;br&gt;And their tag team name, the "Rottings" says it all, this team is rotting, they bring rotten to all.&lt;br&gt;If you can imagine the very worst of greed and corruption, there they are in the ring, the Rottings.&lt;br&gt;But they really did meet their match tonight, Jon "Boss" Ossoff and the "Reverend" are in control.&lt;br&gt;Stacy "Queen" Abrams has every right to be proud of her team, she really crashed the Cheat camp.&lt;br&gt;They are done, Moscow Mitch will retire I think, the donald is no longer "the Donald", just a has been.&lt;br&gt;They have been so used to cheating, this is a big hurt, and all the fans are so happy.&lt;br&gt;People have been waiting for years for Moscow Mitch to really feel their pain so let him have it.&lt;br&gt;"Moscow" Mitch McConnell will be "Moscow" Bitch McConnell tomorrow.&lt;br&gt;For America to really get rid of the chiefs of Cheat camp, Moscow and Lily Liver both, way to go America. &lt;br&gt;America really beat "the Donald" badly, he is the "the donald" now, boy did he lose.&lt;br&gt;You ever see a fighter get knocked out so bad he doesn&amp;#39;t even know he lost the fight, that was "the donald".&lt;br&gt;Lilly Livered Lindsay is obediently following along behind the donald, "Cowardice Forever" on his tee shirt.&lt;br&gt;It is going to be interesting to see what happens next but this is all over for the Greasy Old Pigs fighters.&lt;br&gt;The Cheat camp has used every trick and every illegal move and everything failed, America won.&lt;br&gt;Tomorrow we will see a new face emerge.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Now I understand that tomorrow at least a dozen Greasy Old Pig fighters will claim they never lost a bout.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;For those who watched all the bouts you all know these are just copy moves like the donald&amp;#39;s "Big Lie".&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;You also know Robinette really beat the donald because the Big Lie just didn&amp;#39;t work so good.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;So all these "little" big lies thrown out by these Greasy Old Pig fighters are just for show and mean nothing.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;But all you fans of America, you remember these Greasy Old Pig fighters, they are the evil in the sequel.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;And every good show deserves a sequel, this group tomorrow will spawn the future Death Eaters.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;So before we even get the end of this bout let me tell you something.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;We are turning the corner soon. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;So in the meantime and in between time, that is it for another post.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Whalen_(broadcaster)'

id="intelliTXT"&gt;Look out nelly&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;or&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ring-a-ding-dong-dandy&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The blood is everywhere, it looks like most of it belongs to the Donald, America seems OK.&lt;br&gt;What a match folks, what a match, it is over though and America has won.&lt;br&gt;Let&amp;#39;s recap the entire match for wresting fans everywhere.&lt;br&gt;The fans love to hate Donald and his dirty tricks never stop, the crowds love to boo him..&lt;br&gt;We know he had some type of foreign object in his trunks and used it when he was in trouble.&lt;br&gt;Nothing helped today though, he was just womanhandled so easily, she beat him good.&lt;br&gt;The Big Lie failed him today, he met his match in America, she paid no attention to his Big Lie..&lt;br&gt;We always see the Donald cheat so foreign objects are nothing new. &lt;br&gt;Great too see him bleeding and begging and pleading, she really is too nice to him.&lt;br&gt;His last name is Cheat so we expect to see him cheat, backstabbing is not new for him.&lt;br&gt;The real shocker will be seeing him going after his own guys like Moscow Mitch, they are losers today.&lt;br&gt;Well Lily Livered Lindsay really lives up to his name, he can slither under a snake and leave no slime trail..&lt;br&gt;I thought he was going to be in trouble but he managed to slither out, wrestling needs it low lives.&lt;br&gt;Well it is all over, the Donald has no dressing room here at all and Mitch won&amp;#39;t be giving him one.&lt;br&gt;Everyone here will probably be glad to see the next big event is in Lusers Landing.&lt;br&gt;The Donald&amp;#39;s big loss today in the US of A is real.&lt;br&gt;Donald Cheat, the Donald to wrestling fans everywhere, is retiring for good.&lt;br&gt;Many fans love the Cheat&amp;#39;s "Troll Dolls", some will be surprised to learn the troll dolls have no minds.&lt;br&gt;They are animatrons and feature outrageous Donald statements designed to insult everyone.&lt;br&gt;They are all made by the Sexdoll Inc. the wholly owned Pillow Guy subsidiary.&lt;br&gt;The show will go on in America without the Donald but folks in Luser&amp;#39;s Landing look out.&lt;br&gt;Tune in next week for Batwoman and Robinette tagging up against Moscow Mitch and Traitor Collins.&lt;br&gt;Promises to be a great bout and we will be hearing more from Lily Livered Lindsay.&lt;br&gt;As you know Lily Livered Lindsay literally got his liver handed to him in Georgia.&lt;br&gt;He tried to jump into a fight there and those folks in Georgia got an eyeful of his lily-liver.&lt;br&gt;The Lily Livered tried to KO the referee with a chair.&lt;br&gt;That turned into a massive malfunction at the junction that had to hurt the lily-liver.&lt;br&gt;The folks in Georgia have the big upcoming Wrestlemania 46 event, up in January.&lt;br&gt;The big tag tam event will be an awesome matchup.&lt;br&gt;One one side, the Cheat camp fighters Perdue and Loeffler, their tag team is the Rottings.&lt;br&gt;We have seen them fight and they bad boy favourites but as you know, this is a cage match.&lt;br&gt;The Lily Livered, the Felon, The Lawyer and Moscow Mitch will be rooting for the Rottings from the side. &lt;br&gt;The Repairs, Ossof and Warnock are an unlikely pairing don&amp;#39;t you think?&lt;br&gt;I do , I do  but we have seen young teams do well in these bouts before.&lt;br&gt;We have and of course, the Rottings just want America to keep rotting, it is what they are about.&lt;br&gt;The Repairs of course just want to stop America from rotting.&lt;br&gt;Well we have listened to the Rottings explain the need for more rotting, we will all be watching this fight.&lt;br&gt;In the meantime and in-between time, that is it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Pillow Guy is a Trademark for a fucking asshole who sells Trumpfuckery&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Oleander is a poison and is recommended by Pillow Guy, proud sponsor of Killer Rittenhouse.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;All votes not for the Rottings are illegal in Georgia, so say the Rottings.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;They are already preparing to have the Great Giuliani launch many many lawsuits.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Each voter will receive a lawsuit contesting their right to vote, a Rotting guarantee.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=33053762</link><pubDate>11/21/2020 11:22:27 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Graystone] Giving

up&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;or&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Getting ready&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The election is drawing nearer and so are possible vaccines, neither matter much.&lt;br&gt;Any vaccine will be as good as the virus allows it to be, there is a reason we have no cold vaccines.&lt;br&gt;The specter of re-infection is rising as new stories point out it is happening in small but certain numbers.&lt;br&gt;That matters insofar as it is a indication of how long any vaccine might continue to work to stop the disease.&lt;br&gt;We are getting better at treating coronavirus but not at stopping it, we have no antidote yet.&lt;br&gt;The virus continues to challenge us economically, biologically, socially and mentally.&lt;br&gt;The patterns of economic damage shift rapidly, supply chain difficulties are affecting every effort.&lt;br&gt;Even highly focused and supported groups are encountering unexpected problems.&lt;br&gt;The ramifications of each incident are often only discovered when the problems occur.&lt;br&gt;For complex and difficult tasks the specialized corporations and industries that do that work are hardest hit.&lt;br&gt;And these difficult problems are forcing a rapid adaptation in corporate structures, the chickens are back.&lt;br&gt;Any complex task that depended upon webs of international entities working together is impacted.&lt;br&gt;Companies are being forced to reconsider decisions about everything.&lt;br&gt;The basic human model is pretty good and it can adapt quickly, ie third arteries in the arm&lt;br&gt;The corporate model has always been nebulous, who knows what they look like or what organs they have.&lt;br&gt;The coronavirus is changing that, it is affecting the basic human model but attacking the corporate model.&lt;br&gt;As businesses shutter and shut down, many to never re-emerge, the role of corporations may change.&lt;br&gt;I suspect the next 6 months will see many businesses either getting ready or giving up.&lt;br&gt;And not just small players, the stage is changing and the demands of the new environment are real.&lt;br&gt;And this is happening before the virus has had a chance to make one major antigenic shift.&lt;br&gt;A 10 point shift has to be considered a possibility, that type of viral weaponry could emerge at any time.&lt;br&gt;The flu has been hammered back this year by coronavirus caution, masks and hand sanitizer work.&lt;br&gt;But do not underestimate the danger of influenza as opposed to the flu, or shifts as opposed to drifts.&lt;br&gt;So get ready or give up.&lt;br&gt;But remember, you could give up today and before Memorial Day be fighting the coronavirus again.&lt;br&gt;Getting ready means anticipating that things could get much worse.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;A quote from the Doomsday Book by Connie Willis.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Connie Willis is an American author and the book was written in 1992.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;The hero of this book is a female student, Kivrin.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;The book is a time travel book set in Oxford in the 2050s in a post Pandemic world. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;It was a winner of both the Hugo and the Nebula Awards.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;An infectious disease has just emerged in Oxford and a quarantine has been announced.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;A group of American bell ringers on a holiday tour has been caught up in the quarantine.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;This is an encounter between an American bell ringer and a British academician trying to help them.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;"I&amp;#39;m sure Ely is already aware of the situation, but I will be more than happy to phone the cathedral and

The setback in the Xinfiang market demonstrates how dangerous things are for us all. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;In spite of the clear and present danger ideology continues to play a huge roll in how people respond to this medical crisis. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;People continue to demonstrate the most basic lack of understanding. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;It really doesn&amp;#39;t help that desperate politicians, worried about re-election possibilities, are willing to say and do almost anything.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;The virus was allowed to run rampant because a politician decided the national response would be a bet, not a plan, but a bet. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Even though the nation was well warned and could have planned a proper response, the bet was chosen and made. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;The lives of thousands and thousands of Americans were laid on the gambling table and that bet was lost. So now desperate politicians are doubling down. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;If you live in Nebraska you have to be appalled at the person you have elected to see to the safety of your state. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;The actions taken by that fool represent the literal murder of common sense, a display of ignorance appealing to ideological idiots. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;And the ultimate display of stupidity is about to be unleashed, the Death Rally 2020 events. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;The deliberate murder of American citizens by a deranged and unhinged leader will remake the way the world views the United States. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;If you are a netizen there was never any doubt that a certain internet newb was going to get it from someone, you can only flaunt the TOUs so far and ultimately you will suffer. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;That the backlash is intensifying is satisfying for many on the net. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;The complete meltdown is very close. Is there anyone else who thinks that the meltdown might include a "twittercide" at some point? &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt; The desperation is reaching apocalyptic levels as evidenced by the "let&amp;#39;s all be nazis" ads recently taken down and then the manipulated video footage marked as such by another platform. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;I imagine tomorrow will simply be a major whinefest where all the "enemies of the schtate" will be trotted out for boos accompanied by the usual "how great I art" refrain that plays psychotically and constantly on the radio in his head. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=32795161</link><pubDate>6/19/2020 11:12:57 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Graystone] Introduction or Chapter 1  The last 5 or 6 weeks has probably changed your expec...</title><author>Graystone</author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;Introduction&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;or&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Chapter 1&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The last 5 or 6 weeks has probably changed your expectations for the future in a very real way.&lt;br&gt;Some things are not going back to the way they were, but which things?&lt;br&gt;What is going to matter going forward, is this the introduction or is it Chapter 1?&lt;br&gt;What is very clear is that this is far from over.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There really are black and white pictures developing. The biggest problems humanity faces is the re-infection possibility. &lt;br&gt;I don&amp;#39;t want to be a pessimist, long term immunity (2 years +) would be a white outcome, less than 40 days of immunity would be a black outcome, both are possible right now. As scientists in different nations address the false positive scenarios our chances of a white picture are growing. A second wave will clear up any lingering doubts.&lt;br&gt;The transmission of this virus seems to be unstoppable. With billions of us being careful and locked down in our homes it continues to ravage unabated. As places try to open this inside fighting is going to get vicious, when the virus wins, humanity loses. South Korea has the right regime but face it, this planet has produced exactly one of every country that now exists and South Korea got a long straw, technology, culture, community, they have the right stuff for this fight.&lt;br&gt;Russia, Brazil have likely lost and the numbers there are going to go US. We have to stop losing this inside fight, we cannot win the war unless we take control here and the only way is testing and contact tracing, that is it, there simply is no other way. &lt;br&gt;Forty days from now, we are all going to look back and say something like this "&lt;b&gt;ENOUGH" &lt;/b&gt;. Variations of that will be heard everywhere. &lt;br&gt;Meanwhile the pummeling continues unabated on the body politic internationally. Nation after nation getting bloodied, then hurt, then downed. Leaders of both Cold War superpowers, powerless, less than powerless, looking like cartoon caricatures as they desperately try to blame their inadequacies in this fight on the other guy, the spectators, someone else.&lt;br&gt;In the next month the countries that will have or have a million cases or more are going to be clear. Certainly the US won&amp;#39;t be alone on the leaderboard. The virus seems to run along the same path as wealth but on the underside rather than hidden in the shadows. It is coming to Russia now and Brazil is playing catch up but it really hasn&amp;#39;t gotten going in India yet. Perhaps Brahmin will dispense and India will be spared but personally, I think the Brahman is going to very different than what is dispensed by the Brahmin. Forty days will reveal all the bones underneath the skin.&lt;br&gt;Standing up and presenting weapons only seems like a good choice to those who have not been ravaged while hunkering down. The songs will change as the wailing grows. The wailing will grow. I am not saying this to be pessimistic or cruel or negative, it is an easy trend to spot, it is pragmatism.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;I see no version of tomorrow that contains a recognizable yesterday, every tomorrow is coming with  sacrifices and changes. If you have been thinking it is time to perhaps act as part of a group of people that are asking for a change in the way things work then maybe you should. We cannot shape the future with our individual action, we need to act collectively to defeat this virus and make tomorrow a place that is good for our children and grandchildren. We need to add seat belts to our international society so that individuals, corporations, religions and nations acting in their own self interest never come first again, no matter where they are or who they are. I do not want my grandchildren to be slaves. We need to act.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=32714977</link><pubDate>5/4/2020 10:14:23 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Graystone] Human worth or Human values  The value of a human being is debatable and like an...</title><author>Graystone</author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;Human worth&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;or&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Human values&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The value of a human being is debatable and like any other commodity the value will fluctuate with need, not demand. Those who need humans will set the price that a human will sell for, simple stuff. If there are enough humans to go around (surplus humans) then the value of a human will be low, if humans are in short supply then the value of humans will be dictated by those who need them the most. Most of this is basic finance but it is not often that corporations, religions and nations actually talk about how they value a human. Some industries set the value of a human very low and are willing to scour the globe to secure humans who will tolerate the abominable working conditions that they offer to low value humans. The value of a human is right at the heart of this crisis. As defaults in many key areas are going to drive collapse in the real over the upcoming weeks and months the giant constructs we have created to ensure human values will shred. In Alberta the humans who provide medical services to the population are not valued at all by the ideologically driven elected officials. The government demonstrated their complete disdain for not only law but the profession of medicine in general, even before this crisis had started. The lawsuit by the provincial medical association against the provincial government for a quarter of a billion dollars is a sign of animosity. Going forward it won&amp;#39;t matter if you are red or blue, it really won&amp;#39;t. The battles are not going well and supply chains are under great pressure, it is going to get worse. Most of our meat industries value humans as low as any industry can value a human. These companies have to get humans from around the globe as no locals will work there and they treat them as they value them, as poorly as local law and regulation will allow. Large COVID19 outbreaks at two Alberta beef packing plants were fueled by company policies, sick workers keep coming in if they want a job. Attempts made to simply fire up the old engines of commerce are going to be made in the next few weeks and the cost will be a certain number of humans. I like to think I value humans quite highly and not in a abstract way, I cry at funerals. I simply refuse to dwell  on the tears I shed each day as I see scenes that wound. I was working the other day on a move order, a family going into a rental unit, a quadraplex. Social distancing wasn&amp;#39;t a concern, things needed to be moved and I could see others showing up to help. As I was there a truck from a rent to own furniture store showed up, two people in the cab, again, no social distance possible. As I watched two young men got out of that truck and proceeded to carry furniture into that house amongst all the other in and out traffic. I am not sure why the sight of one of those men, a slightly overweight young man in mirror sunglasses and cap, trying to look tough, clearly just starting down the road of adult life, would cause such a deep upwelling of sympathy. How like my own sons he was, a deep realization of our shared peril, the tears rose unbidden. I got a deep sense that even if I could not personally experience it directly, he was deeply loved by someone. If love of money is the root of all evil, then what is the need of money? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;As SItizen&amp;#39;s we are insulated in a specific way to the real, a coating or membrane with a certain type of permeability, it has been this way for almost a generation. To the new mind and in the new land we are the real illionaires, we have the wealth of the future. The matrix that supports our keyboards is a global construct. We are going to see this play out in a way that will likely cost many human lives. The basic principle is going to be about  the value of a human. In places where the value of a human is low the harvests will be large. As collapse occurs it is possible to ensure that certain constructs stay flattened by putting weight on them and not allowing them to spring back. When the weight is lifted off of certain pylons they can be moved. The current event is bringing forces to bear that were completely out of reach sixty days ago. The claim that a great job is being done and there was no lack of preparedness allows us to infer that there is absolutely no preparation being made for the next wave and the new deaths. Right now the desperate simply don&amp;#39;t care how many humans they throw into the fire if it can offer them a chance to keep being the way they were, it is zealotry at it&amp;#39;s worst. If you really think that a great job is being done and there was no lack of preparedness then I will offer my sympathy in advance. When the next wave of deaths occur you will likely accept the same counterfeit currency and be much poorer than you are now. Ideology should not trump intelligence.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=32693505</link><pubDate>4/22/2020 12:42:30 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Graystone] Our tomorrows or Probable clouds  SI is one of the strongest bastions in the new...</title><author>Graystone</author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;Our tomorrows&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;or&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Probable clouds&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;SI is one of the strongest bastions in the new land. &lt;br&gt;So much good advice right now, so many steady places to stand here on SI.&lt;br&gt;You may not realize how many will come under your shields as they seek normalcy, they depend upon you to be you.&lt;br&gt;When all other champions have fallen, and they will fall, we will be left.&lt;br&gt;We will be as we are now, ready to stand forth once again.&lt;br&gt;That it is upon us is clear.&lt;br&gt;That we should do anything other than to hold fast is not clear.&lt;br&gt;At the moment it seems we are well and truly and that is before we drop shields and stand up.&lt;br&gt;My commendations mean little but they are freely given to you all.&lt;br&gt;I have taken to both a buckler and a shield.&lt;br&gt;I will hold as long as I am able.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;“Never give reasons for what you &lt;b&gt;think or do&lt;/b&gt; until you must.

This post is really all about what things look like and not about what they are. When &lt;b&gt;S &lt;/b&gt;I first discussed digital cognizance and meme valency and the relationship to the digital self &lt;b&gt;S &lt;/b&gt;I used the phrase "&lt;i&gt;serious discussion&lt;/i&gt;" and described the effect that this type of discussion had on digital structures. The process of breaking up digital structures is understood by many now but in the Childhood we used to marvel at how quickly a carefully crafted edifice could crumble when hit properly. The mental fortresses of our digital selves and the minds supporting those structures have been built up over many years of sparring and jousting. Although those those rich relationships are of great value they are not the true wealth that we have created here. Our contributions as individuals, though impressive and wide ranging, are nowhere near as useful as the way our minds act as phase-pairs. The role that this "multiplicity of phase pairs" plays as an organon of the new mind is important. Like cell phones and tablets that "remember" even long complicated passwords our phase-pairing is also very useful.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;This is a &lt;/i&gt;serious discussion&lt;i&gt; and it will cause some digital structures to collapse and release free memes, a new waveform will radiate out from &lt;/i&gt;taht&lt;i&gt; collapse destroying other structures, as they collapse they will propagate the waveform and release more free memes and so on, like a virus. Where these free memes attach and how they attach to our digital structures is related to their valency and your cognizance. We exist as phase-pairings, the multiplicity of phase-pairs that we represent is a new and flexible organon. Since we are talking seriously it is important to understand this digital concept. Meme valency and digital cognizance were important in 2002, at least to me, if not to us and those powers led to the great camps of today. As powerful and as cohesive as those camps are they lack the fundamental strength of phase-pairing and it&amp;#39;s resonance in the new mind. When a new waveform is created we can surf and on the largest waves, high up there on the raging crest where creation and collapse lie balanced, is the way to the future. Everywhere people aspire the same. A new type of human valency exists that we have not yet tapped, we are still bound in patterns like nations, religions, corporations. We are perhaps within two hands of tomorrow right now but like the sound of water deep underground at the face, the danger is imminent. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Another day, another dollar &amp;lt; Currently meaningless or reversed Aphorisms selected by Graystone.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=32671030</link><pubDate>4/11/2020 10:32:59 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Graystone] The Novel or The Novelty  I have to stand somewhere and these old fields are emp...</title><author>Graystone</author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;The Novel&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;or&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Novelty&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;I have to stand somewhere and these old fields are empty yet still watched by many, I suppose to see if an event might happen. They make a good place to stand and even if it is a bit barren the sound carries well. I sometimes look to see if the builder still lives here amongst us, a Wren amongst the sparrows. The way the the early dialog flowed and then settled left a lot of these types of spaces over the years and decades left a lot of these mental arenas connected to many SI nodes. These spaces are like a time lapse series of photographs of a prairie dog colony showing it slowly migrating away from one place, leaving just holes where it used to be. The divisions of the outer world exist here on SI or we couldn&amp;#39;t be a holon of the new land. Now those of you who know me understand that the new land I have always spoken of is this one, where we are part of a network that consists of minds linked by keyboards and that as we type and tell and interact we lay down a usable stratum of human consciousness. It isn&amp;#39;t that we are consciously promulgating any reality, our individual psyches simply are what we are if we are naked here. In the beginning the nakedness was a result of novelty. It sounds pornographic but we used to be able to finger others and see when they were online, old tools that worked in the Infancy. That nakedness still exists, it can still be seen, how many actually mentally framed some response to Jeffery on whether rock or country CD&amp;#39;s would be better for keeping off the pigeons, then didn&amp;#39;t preferring instead that UE got it himself? Put simply, you and I, we have shared a lot of food and ink. I have been telling our story for a long time right here. I wrote this right here on SI almost 24 years ago, &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;The tremendous economic clout of the focused world economy and collective wealth had made major changes and upheavals in the power structure, routine, in the late 2010&amp;#39;s.&lt;br&gt;The true benefits had gone to a new group of companies that had realized the power of the early data nets hastily thrown together in the dying years of the last century. When those first crude "computer nets" appeared, followed by an international internet, few had realized where it was going to lead, the few who did became pioneers in a new transformation of the power base. It became evident as time passed, that this "internet" was the the new forum of public opinion. As companies flocked to this new medium, it was obvious that only a few hot spots were actually instrumental in "creating" the opinions, while those opinions then permeated every corner of the globe.The situation envisioned by Confucious 2000 years earlier became an actuality, "The wise man sits outside his house, the world comes to his door."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;If I wrote that today it wouldn&amp;#39;t matter and no one would read it because it is obvious, but when I wrote it wasn&amp;#39;t totally true, yes, many others were saying the same thing but Amazon was still a bookseller. No one might have foreseen that a virus would have been responsible for an international shutdown but in my future the virus was Japanese, not Chinese, and called PAIDV and just shut down international markets, not humanity. I wrote this as part of the same look at the future, &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Everyone remembered the attack of the Matsushita BLAT, a PARA AI Destructor Virus in 2015. SI at that time had been dependant upon the Intel AI&amp;#39;s, and the death of Erin (Early Reasoning Intelligent Network) had paralyzed SI and as a result, markets world wide. The PAIDV attack had created havoc and had led to the initiative that developed FINN&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have always maintained that my writing has just two purposes, to educate or to entertain and I always hope that the style I choose to tell any tale is one that tries to solve both. It isn&amp;#39;t that the telling of stories makes them real, it is that the vision of the writer is the seed that another plants, all our power is in the mind&amp;#39;s of others. So we are at a place imagined many years ago, it is a novel situation, at this point no one knows when this is over. Analysis in the real is one way to follow this situation and there is plenty of that going on so I cannot contribute much beyond, wash your hands.&lt;br&gt;What is happening is going to take a while, spring and summer will be spent in a very different way than we have spent them before, all this novelty will get boring. So what comes next, are you an optimist or a pessimist. Are you an objectivist or is it subjectivism for you. Me, I make some basic assumptions about any group of humans in any situation. Most people don&amp;#39;t really pay attention to much, it is just the way people are. Most people are not aware of the state of other people most of the time, it is just the way people are. Most of us don&amp;#39;t want to use a dictionary or a thesaurus. Some people are naked, most are armed, there will always be victims. &lt;br&gt;I suppose my true weapon is one called Greensward, also described here on SI many years ago when I was writing a tale regarding a person who caused two camps to form here on SI,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Greensward&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Looking at old battlefields is grim work, the green grass covers the churned mud and the relics of battle lie buried. Living is the default condition in the real world, that rule doesn&amp;#39;t apply in this land. There is no corollary for breathing, dying here is easy, no need to kill yourself. To be alive in this land we make a conscious decision to live. The ability to stand and breathe the air of this land is as easy as a few clicks of the mouse, living here is harder. Our comments and our positions are a direct reflection of our relationship to this land. This story, more than any other story I have ever attempted, has driven me to consider the sides that make up each facet in a tale. It isn&amp;#39;t possible to read Tim&amp;#39;s story and avoid conclusions about people, about his enemies, his detractors, his friends and ultimately about all of us. The observer principle ensures that the observation can never be separated from the observer and this same rule applies in regards to community.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have always treasured SI and it is sometimes painful reading through old threads and getting reminded of so many fine constructs that were built and then left behind. One constant in all my stories, except for a few, is that the material for each tale has always been provided by others on SI. I haven&amp;#39;t always listened to all of you, some of the strange languages you speak in your camps to those you would shepherd or protect are foreign tongues to  me, some of your rituals are the same, they are not ones I would perform for myself. Your selves in the real, they are not who you think you are, who you &lt;b&gt;think&lt;/b&gt; you are is the person who lives here in this land. And even if that is acceptable it is not true, because here you really are what everyone has in their mind when they listen to you. As a holon of the new land SI shares attributes found in all holons. Even though we have the same divisions as the real here we can consciously step beyond nationality. Our deep sets do not contain nationality in the traditional sense of that word, we are nationals of a new land, we are a unique subset of humans who  demonstrate this trait in our essential nature. We are aware that we are (nationality here) but also we know we are something more, we are the little fish of the new land and we are boundless. If you embrace this idea it literally dissolves other structures that have dependency, it is a variable/function/library scenario where the variable is removed, the related functions and libraries no longer work as expected.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Wikipedia has this entry describing the "Internet meme&lt;br&gt;"&lt;i&gt;An "Internet meme" is a concept that spreads rapidly from person to person via the Internet, largely through Internet-based E-mailing, blogs, forums, imageboards like 4chan, social networking sites like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, instant messaging, social news sites or thread sites like Reddit, and video hosting services like YouTube and Twitch.[56]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;In 2013, Richard Dawkins characterized an Internet meme as one deliberately altered by human creativity, distinguished from Dawkins&amp;#39;s original idea involving mutation "by random change and a form of Darwinian selection".[57]. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now I know that no one needs to hear that but the connection is of interest. This last little bit was taken from 2002 and was a discussion then about the nature of memes and the role they played in changing digital patterns. It would take years for the actual internet to become the Internet and for sites to catch up to the primals that were thrown out in the beginning from so many sources here on SI. I am throwing these old posts out because they are helping me choose a name for the new story and will be part of the billet I am attempting to forge. It is good that I have plenty of time and I enjoy reading all this old stuff as well. I want to leave this story for now so that I can help out with supper. I am going to take ground pork and ground beef, mix them together and then slam the resulting mass repeatedly into a bowl from some distance above it to remove all the air. That is not an attempt to create a memetic link to this tale it is the literal truth. It is what the recipe calls for.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Digital cognizance&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;or&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Meme valency&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Like viral proteins, our digital surfaces are keyed to certain memes. A lot of people can&amp;#39;t see cyberspace and the digital projections of self clearly. Digital frameworks can be collapsed with a single well placed blow, they then coalesce in a different pattern. Serious dialogue is often like that, leaving crumbling digital structures and free memes in it&amp;#39;s wake.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;None of it really means anything in the real world. It only matters to those that inhabit this universe we have created.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class='SIURL' href='readmsg.aspx?msgid=4203992'&gt;Message 4203992&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class='SIURL' href='readmsg.aspx?msgid=4203994'&gt;Message 4203994&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class='SIURL' href='readmsg.aspx?msgid=20343428'&gt;Message 20343428&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class='SIURL' href='readmsg.aspx?msgid=17019616'&gt;Message 17019616&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=32668068</link><pubDate>4/9/2020 5:14:02 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Graystone] Council or Counsel  This is a good place, a height above that storm as it occurs...</title><author>Graystone</author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;Council&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;or&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Counsel&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is a good place, a height above that storm as it occurs.&lt;br&gt;It would be nice to be here, back in this when, safe from the nuee ardente of today.&lt;br&gt;SI is a holon of the new land.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;My strategy remains the same, try to stay uninfected for as long as possible to reduce the burden on health care system.

Its successful Deer Hunter franchise released the  latest version on September 18. Deer Hunter 2014 quickly jumped to the top of  domestic iPhone download charts and reached the top ten grossing iPhone games in  the U.S. and set company records for global revenues from a single game.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The company is a leading global developer and publisher of premium games  for smartphones and tablets, but it has had a disappointing year with games that  haven&amp;#39;t monetized as expected; it spent a lot of money buying technology and  hiring experts in the field to develop the GluOn platform. With Deer Hunter 2014  already starting to slip down the top grossing charts, the question that Glu  Mobile needs to answer is whether the platform can deliver in keeping a game  monetizing on top of the charts for months? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3,325 people received  this article by email alert &lt;br&gt;Add your email to get alerts on GLUU too:  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Deer Hunter 2014 Numbers &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The company released prior to the  open on September 25 that Deer Hunter 2014 had reached several milestones  including records for single-day downloads and sales. The major milestones as  listed by the company are below: &lt;br&gt;•Glu record 5M+ downloads in first 7 days  of global release &lt;br&gt;•Single-day Glu record of 1M+ downloads globally from a  single Glu title &lt;br&gt;•Reached #7 U.S. App Store Top Grossing chart position for  iPhone &lt;br&gt;•Single-day Glu record of gameplay sessions (18M+) &lt;br&gt;•Single-day  record for global revenues from a single Glu title &lt;br&gt;•#1 Top Free App ranking  in 19 countries &lt;br&gt;•#1 Top Free Game ranking in 78 countries &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The CEO  made an interesting statement that the company is only scratching the service as  far as the GluOn platform, but the company will need to prove staying power in  order to win over investors. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Updated App Annie Stats &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The updated  App Annie stats are where investors start getting concerned. The game has  started dropping in the rankings. For U.S. iPhone stats, the game is down to the  second most downloaded free game and the more important grossing numbers show  the game has already dropped to #11. See the list below: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(click to  enlarge) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Naturally, the game is still in early days and the all  important downloads remain strong. The key now will be whether the GluOn  platform works. With over 5 million downloads in the first 7 days of global  release and possibly millions more now that the game is live on Android, the  company should have plenty of users to turn on the magic of the competition via  Club Hunt challenges. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As mentioned on the recent Q2 earnings call, the  President of Studios discussed the success of the monetization team in  optimizing live titles. As an example, Eternity Warriors 2 saw a 60% uptick in  revenue with the release of chance-based purchase systems in version 3.2 and  Contract Killer 2 saw a significant revenue lift with each live tournament. Now  the company has the chance to prove the benefits of the games-as-a-service  (GAAS) concept with a game that is setting company records for downloads.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Strong Support &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The below chart shows strong support below the  current levels: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Glu Mobile - 2 Year Chart &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(click to enlarge)  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Conclusion &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;With analysts expecting revenue of $28 million for Q4  and the huge success of Deer Hunter 2014 so far, Glu Mobile has a chance to  finally surprise the market. The company has some major launches in Q4 including  Eternity Warriors 3, Frontline Commandos 2, and Motocross Meltdown that could  provide a substantial blowout of expectations. Remember that the company  generated nearly $22 million in revenue during Q213 with no new titles and Q413  has the benefit of four major titles on a new platform, plus up to six games  generating 3rd party publishing revenue. If Glu Mobile can&amp;#39;t generate a  significant revenue beat during Q4, than the company probably has no business  being public. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Additional disclosure: The information contained  herein is for informational purposes only.
