How Do We Escape the Panopticon?
Since their inceptions, companies like Facebook and Google have received funding from the government to build and deploy the technology that sucks up our data. Allowing the awful chimera of public-private partnerships to control our communications has been our undoing. To note an important example, Palantir Technologies, founded by Peter Thiel, is a creation of the Central Intelligence Agency. Palantir works on top of the infrastructure created by Alphabet and Meta and gathers online activity in order to profile every U.S. citizen. Democracy in the U.S. has undergone an existential crisis, in large part due to the fact that no one has any privacy on the Internet and all of our scraped data is centrally controlled by a few actors. Citizens are both censored and afraid to speak.

How did Israel manage to strike deep inside Iran’s airspace? This bold and unprecedented mission, named “Days of Repentance,” saw Israel’s air force travel over 2,000 kilometers to target Iran's key military sites with pinpoint precision, sending a powerful message to Tehran and beyond.

With F-35 fighter jets and over 100 aircraft, Israel demonstrated unmatched intelligence and military capability, avoiding civilian areas and hitting Iran’s critical defense infrastructure.

Is this just a warning, or does it signal a shift in the power dynamics of the Middle East? Join me as we break down every detail of this game-changing operation. Don’t forget to subscribe for real-time updates on Israel and the Middle East!

Breaking: Major National Cybersecurity Exercise on Election Day; What???
https://jonrappoport.substack.com/p/major-national-cybersecurity-exercise-on-election-day?utm_source=cross-post&publication_id=806546&post_id=150556404&utm_campaign=702469&isFreemail=true&r=djel3&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email&fbclid=IwY2xjawGEvKlleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHRQwcZzj1A3wccWxJA4jGB4fjXq6MZsGsC_7cecB6F7chin66jlFsw16Eg_aem_ll2ZyTijFGbjAitWxFAeFw

Background: “AFCEA [Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association International] Atlanta [Chapter] Homeland Security Conference on Critical Infrastructure, November 6-7, 2024, with a large scale cybersecurity exercise on November 5, 2024” (link in footnote)

—On Nov. 5, ELECTION DAY, there will be a special cybersecurity exercise at the Conference.

Get this. The exercise is described as a large-scale interactive event, with participants from federal, state, county, city government agencies, academia, and industry.

The exercise will simulate a cyber-attack on “critical infrastructure.”

That’s right. It’s a so-called “Jack Voltaic”-type exercise, which was developed to test responses to attacks on large infrastructures.

QUITE odd to schedule the exercise on Election Day.

FOR ACCURACY AND CLARIFICATION OF INFORMATION GIVEN]

(All my information is either from firsthand experience or from trusted sources working as boots on the ground.)

We need people with a national audience to put the word out.
East Tennessee to Morganton NC is completely compromised.

Towns like Old Fort, Spruce Pine, Asheville as well as Hendersonville and Boone are destroyed and will need months if not years to restore.

Towns like Lake Lure, chimney rock and bat cave are gone and will probably never be rebuilt.

I work for the railroad and the tracks between Morganton and old fort will take weeks to get back in service.

Between Old Fort and the Tennessee State line is completely destroyed.

The national news media is either lying or ignorant about the actual body count.

While I was delivering aid to Asheville a week ago 100 bodies was found in one area.

The death toll no doubt will be in the thousands.

Unfortunately desperate people are doing what desperate people do in the larger cities, reports of looting, mobs, killings and car jackings simply for the gas that is in their tanks. And they feel as though they have no hope because they have no power, No water, no sewage no roads no internet, no phone service and no timeline of when these utilities are to be restored. Many parts of WNC and ET and other parts of the southeast are now effectively a 3rd world country.

People are still stranded in the remote mountains communities with no power, water and cannot leave because the roads have became river beds.

As far as infrastructure, multiple dam failures lead to the tsunami like tidal waves and flooding of many cities towns and communities.

Where towns were, are now lakes littered with bodies and debris, where were roads and highways, are now dried riverbeds because when the water came it completely diverted gentle streams that ran parallel to the roads into roaring rivers that cut 30’ 40’ 50’ and 100’ gaps in road beds and completely washed away bridges.

All major roads in and out of Asheville was completely cut off for a 48 hour time period, many are still impassable.

I40 in particular took a tremendous hit, Old fort mountain took multiple mudslides, and through the gorge going into Tennessee the eastbound lanes fell into the the Pigeon River.

The both class 1 Railroads in the area have suffered a significant amount of damage and hundreds of miles will have to be repaired, undoubtedly some of it will be abandoned, leaving a gap in our local economy for the years to come.
There are stories about people being stranded, starving in the thousands, story’s of body’s
hanging from trees and lining the ditches of roads are everywhere.

Every morgue in Asheville is full beyond capacity, they are stacking them in the basements awaiting the delivery of refer trucks.

There is civilian helicopters flying aid in daily. I can’t speak for everywhere but assistance from national guard units and. FEMA in my area has been minimal, again that is my personal experience. I cannot speak for everywhere.

Please speak up for us because no one else is.

Mayor of California Charter City Defies Newsom’s Ban on Voter ID Laws ‘That Law Does Not Apply to Us’
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/10/mayor-california-charter-city-defies-newsoms-ban-voter/

A California mayor is defiant after Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law in direct response to the city’s attempt to secure elections.

The saga began on March 5, when Huntington Beach voters weighed in and passed ballot measure 1, the Voter ID and Election Rules Amendment.

According to Ballotpedia, the charter amendment authorized the city to require voter identification for elections and allowed infrastructure to support the initiative.

In 2023, then-Mayor Tony Strickland supported the measure in the face of pressure from local and state Democrats seeking to torpedo it.

The mood has shifted by the 5G (Standalone), is a deployment model of 5G technology that transmit apart from 4G LTE networks. Unlike 5G NSA (Non-Standalone), which relies on 4G LTE infrastructure for certain functions, 5G (Standalone) has its own 5G core network, allowing it to fully leverage the advanced features of 5G. Edge Computing: The architecture is well-suited for mobile edge computing, bringing data processing closer to the end user for faster responses.
