Look for the .zip file in the Piles folder, HTML of Reddit commenting to grep and analyze leading up to Pentagon / Department of War annexation of Venezuela. Some comments already removed that are now saved as .html files inside the .zip package. USA mind-fucking of the population via social machine systems.

 

Betterment and Praxis - what I spent since New Years Eve doing, analyzing the build up to the Department of War annexation. Happy New Year.

MARSHALL MCLUHAN IN CONVERSATION WITH MIKE MCMANUS
September 19, 1977

  • "Yes, all forms of violence are a quest for identity. When you live out on the frontier, you have no identity. You’re a nobody. Therefore, you get very tough. You have to prove that you are somebody. And so you become very violent. And so identity is always accompanied by violence. This seems paradoxical to you? That ordinary, ordinary people find the need for violence as they lose their identities. So it’s only the threat to people’s identity that makes them ... — terrorists, hijackers: these are people minus identity. They are determined to make it somehow, to get coverage, to get noticed."

  • "Everybody tends to merge his identity with other people at the speed of light. It’s called being mass man."

  • "Invading privacy — in fact, just ignoring it. Everybody has become porous. They got the light and the message to go right through us. By the way, at this moment, we are on the air, and on the air we do not have any physical body. When you’re on the telephone or on radio or on TV, you don’t have a physical body. You’re just an image on the air. When you don’t have a physical body, you’re a discarnate being. You have a very different relation to the world around you. And this, I think, has been one of the big effects of the electric age. It has deprived people, really, of their private identity."
