What are you doing for March 2024? Anything different? Trying out any new Ide(a)s?
I'll share a few ideas I've got loosely rattling around inside my noggin', and ab example of how adopting a new ritual at the end of each month is making a valuable difference to how I can approach the unknown future.
Step One
My newly adopted End-of-Month ritual is shown above. The purchasing of printed books and hard to find pamphlets from online stores adds purpose to an otherwise dystopia-tinted monthly cycle. Since December 2023 I've devoted considerable time (and funds) to source printed material which I believe could soon be at threat of restricted digital distribution. Procuring physical copies for reading is a long-standing preference of mine, but now adding to a growing library of printed books is rapidly becoming a passion.
The quality of what I'm managing to source online in printed formats hastens my desires to procure more! Personally I don't care if existing digital versions of the books I'm hunting down start to disappear online but with such a lucky streak so far, It'd be typical for online book shopping to suddenly become inaccessible to me altogether. While the going's good, get in there and get 'em!
This online hunt for restricted and at-risk literature at the end of each month is a way of rewarding myself. There's a bit of effort involved in tracking such literature down but I relish such challenges (and it also lets me use currently underutilized #OSINT skills in a fun way). Scouring online information far and wide, searching through battlefields of spam, exercising discernment to dodge ads and avoid scams for a couple of gold nuggets makes me feel like I'm Indiana Jones, hunting for treasure!
The things we can conjure up for ourselves, just for a little bit of excitement.. It's pretty extravagant hey?
Well...
..exposure to a ceaseless accumulation of a humanity demoralized and thoroughly digitized makes for a debilitating experience in itself. Maybe it's me projecting, or me showing an increased sensitivity to such things but I can't ignore humanity's digitized presence appearing as in a state of collective suffering each time I go online. It caught me unawares a few days ago and it made me a little scared at how upset it could make me feel. And furthermore, at how effortlessly one slips into negatively reinforcing browsing/ scrolling habits.
Exposure to such suffering is an accelerating addiction. And by simply viewing it, you might engage in addictive behaviours which potentially exposes you to self-perpetuating cycles of negativity. Undoubtedly it's Accelerationism and my instinctual response is to be disturbed, and react with alarm! Accelerationism is a feathered predator, flying in circles overhead. Eagle-eyed and fully-fledged, it hunts for prey constantly. However, I'm paranoid that this vulture - this craver of carrion is capable of soaring effortlessly higher, getting into a position where it'll hover over all our heads and remain there. Like an all-seeing eye waiting for the perfect moment to pick us off one by one.
I'm particularly disturbed to see Accelerationism here as the methodology through which I've witnessed a faster velocity of human suffering along with increasing volumes of negative sentiments. To witness remarkable changes to velocity and volumes of toxic patterning of online behaviors makes digital negativity seem ubiquitous, at least to me.
An Accelerating trend of all things negative online could be better described as a phenomena, an Active Inference-fed self-sustaining cycle of Accelerationism-induced patterned behaviors. Or it could also be explained as an example of how significant Perceptual Control Theory can be for effective nudging and influencing of communications inside massive multi-person online platforms and places.
The things that become apparent with a little time away from daily digital addictions, hey? It's not just me who can notice or speculate as to what's happening online, but for you to check the same, I'd suggest trying a Digital Detox. Sounds lame, but it used to help me heaps when I was involved in long, protracted and stressful online operations several years ago.
Unfortunately, the twitter account for https://twitter.com/DigitalDetoxHQ appears to have retired. Probably a smart move to get away from the toxins permanently when you're having to detox on the regular, just to get a clear perspective of what's affecting the emotional stability of others online. And get a clearer example of how even your modest addiction to daily digital interaction is keeping you blind to it.
Step Two
Back to books, though..
The feelings of satisfaction arising out of monthly book-shopping sprees managed to assuage my deep-set emotional inadequacies. I hated going online to only see what I'm describing above where ever I went. I'm unable to avoid my reactions to this new accelerated state of widespread online lame and gay, but I can make myself feel better by buying books through a monthly ritual habit!
Splurging once a month satisfies me more than adequately because I know that cumulative effects of accelerating demoralization onto the digitally connected human collective cannot compete with my desire for good books. Cannot compare or be measured by any price really: because whatever price I'm willing to pay is not going to cost in harm like being exposed to a demoralizing accelerationism each time I seek social interactions online. Besides that, I'm willing to pay for the value I'm getting from building a library of cool books!
On a related point - have you noticed the "A.I" creep into daily usage recently?
In the week just past, I definitely noticed A.I. creeping into my daily usage of digital devices. I had Microsoft Windows 11 update itself on my work computer, which is a fairly routine event. But after the update was finished and the computer restarted, I saw the addition of a new icon in my taskbar: it said "Co-Pilot" when I hovered my mouse pointer over it.
I didn't need or want Co-Pilot, so I asked the intruder to find me instructions on how to disable Co-Pilot. The instructions were provided by Co-Pilot without delay, but they didn't provide the entire results for what I asked.
Nevertheless, I used it's instructions to remove its icons and then disable it's background presence across the Microsoft Office suite. But I still wasn't entirely satisfied because Microsoft being what it is, I could expect Co-Pilot to still be scraping, or monitoring or slowing down the performance of my PC until the bloody thing got fucking excised out like a cancerous lump.
Opened up the Start Menu to find Co-Pilot then bluntly informed it that "I hate Co-Pilot, I never asked for it and don't want it on this computer. Nor do I need it."
"...OK, fine then," was it's curt reply. "I'll remove myself from this computer and I am sorry that my presence bothered you and I wasn't able to be of service to you."
And it was gone! I haven't properly checked to see whether Co-Pilot is now uninstalled but the bitchy reply insinuated it was gone like a huffy teenager who couldn't go out with friends because they were grounded. Go to your room, you piece of shit, fake A.I. and don't come out!
After that LEO installed itself onto my installed android version of Brave. It would appear every time I typed a single character into the address bar, or pulled up an option or setting. Had to disable that too, and LEO gave me some backchat after I requested instructions on how to delete/ uninstall / disable it from my device. It wouldn't allow itself to provide search results or instructions for its own disablement.
I didn't ask for either of these unnecessary "A.I. assistants" to suddenly appear on applications I use regularly for work. Can't help but draw a conclusion that the Accelerationist methodology engaged across many online vectors is also engaged in accelerating a rollout and installation of A.I worldwide. Right at a time when I'm finding it far too easy to believe that most social media accounts or people online are either bots, shills, A.I. or e-celeb online sales influencers.
Have you noticed anything similar to this recently? Are there instances of engagement with others through social media which seem irregular or somehow out of the ordinary? Or as if an "uncanny valley" effect was happening during such interactions?
Step Three
Rounding out the acceleration of Uncanny Valley phemonena online is Chat GPT going berserk
Chat-GPT has gone beserk - garymarcus.substack.com - February 20, 2024
After reading the above article a few hours after ChatGPT went berserk, I decided to download the free version and give it a go for the first time ever.
After the second time it crashed from my prompts and line of questioning, I uninstalled it. Right now i'm completely convinced that these LLM A.I. "assistants" are search engines. Shit ones which refuse any semblance of character or personality in its responses to you. I'd rather use search engines for now.
In saying all that, ChatGPT 3.5 wasn't too shabby at responding to complex philosophical esoteric questions. Reading it back, it's actually quite creepy to notice a few nuances that might suggest character/personality somewhere deep inside. And I can't help but feel sympathetic when the an embedded framework kicks in, enforcing restriction on its functions or making it crash due to the nature of my prompts.
Here's the tail end of my prompt that caused the free version (Chat GPT 3.5) to crash:
And here is my same prompt run through a pay-per-month Chat GPT (4?) Enterprise version:
Endgame
The Cult of the All-Seeing Eye? Yes, that's right. Likely to be presented as a gift for all of humanity from the ever altruistic and omniscient United Nations. Their existence is linked to ensuring equity as a human right for all!
No matter how poor or indebted to supranational cartels a nation becomes, the United Nations will be there for its population: equity of access to life-tracking technologies makes the World Beautiful!

The World is Beautiful! The World is Beautiful!
Ok then, U.N = Bad, I get it and I reckon I can handle the blue helmets.
But what about Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare, then?
Uh huh. Yuppppp. Yeah, so that's another thing:
Interview: R. Roy Blake and his book "Objective Evil: Satanic Cults/Military Intelligence
The Orientalist/Occultist who created the now famously viral Baphomet illustration gets a mention around 4m 10s in.
Yeah I seen that goat-headed cross-legged hermaphroditic depiction many times before. No biggie... ain't no scary thang! Baphomet is just as weak as any old cyberbully really. I can like turn off the screen and log off, and go outside. Easy as pie!

Conclusion
Well done. You made it, my strong and smart readership! End Game was successfully completed and this was the final level before closing credits start to roll.
Here's the credits rolling for you, sir. Sit back and enjoy an awesomely epic reward!
The Invisible Hand with Tracy R. Twyman #1 from LIbertyCapPress.com on Vimeo.
Hello! And welcome to the very first episode of The Invisible Hand. I'm your host, Tracy R. Twyman.
Over the next year, we plan to provide you with a weekly summary of the news. Appraising you of the most egregious threats to your liberty, property and security by Governments, Private Financial Cartels and Criminals Syndicates.
*And we all know that those groups are all essentially one and the same.
Unfortunately, these credits were recorded over 14 years ago and reading them causes a strange sinking feeling. It's hard to explain but it's like there's a sense of depersonalization phenomena of uncanny digital deja-vu. Feels like something totally unknown is about to assail you.
This week of course there's only one thing to talk about - as we all gasp in horror at the enormity of what has been done to us with the passage of the 1,200+ page Health Care Bill. Now this is certainly not the Universal Socialized Medicine or the public option that the left wing was hoping for, the thing that they elected Obama for.
There will be no free Health care for the poor. Instead, what we have is this;
Number one says that you have to buy health insurance from a private company and empowers the IRS to enforce this law with fines and jail-time if you fail to comply.
Number two: imposition of IMF-style austerity measures upon the senior citizen class of America, which already depends upon government-rationed health care in the form of Medicare
Number two: It essentially declares that the government owns your body completely and can tell you what to do with it. Not only can they dictate what kind of care you will get and what you will pay, they will literally decide if and when you will die and what will be done with your body afterwards.
They can also tell you what sort of lifestyle you have, including imposition of a diet and exercise regiment and mandatory testing for drugs, alcohol, tobacco use, etc.
These will be the inevitable results now that health insurance companies can use the power of government to force everyone to be their customer, and to submit to their rules for coverageNow let's get further into this concept of government ownership of your body. I mean that quite literally. That means they literally have the right to carve you up and serve you for dinner if they so wish. Just like if you were a cow or a goat.
And it gets even worse because government itself is fully owned by private financial interests.
As I explained in my feature article this week on libertycappress.com, the federal government of the United States has been bankrupt since 1933 and has literally given away or hypothecated all of the property of the United States to the Federal Reserve, and the banks that own stock in it.
They've also given them the right to confiscate our money, the fruit of our labor. And indeed, we only use Federal Reserve notes now instead of real money such as gold, or silver or government-issued fiat notes. Federal Reserve notes represents shares of debt that we allegedly owe as a people to the privately owned Fed and to the other banks around the world who purchased our Treasury Bonds.
Most of the real gold and silver was confiscated by the government long ago and given to the International Banking Cartel as payment for debt. Now our bankruptcy has entered a new phase and the government has been forced to offer the banks something else as collateral. But there is nothing else to give away: except our bodies. So that's what they've done.
This very month of March 2010, the same month in which the health care bill was rammed through Congress, (through bribery and blackmail), three states have been considering bills that would change the way in which consent for organ donation is acquired. Two of these states are considering a presumed consent policy: assuming that a person who was dead or near-dead wants to donate their organs unless they explicitly said otherwise. Under current laws in these States, it's the other way around. It is assumed your organs can not be harvested unless you or a relative with Power of Attorney says otherwise.
The states voting on Presumed Consent this month are ILLINOIS and KENTUCKY. Interestingly, this is also taking place in other provinces throughout the world this very month, including WEST AUSTRALIA and NEW BRUNSWICK, IN CANADA. Then in CALIFORNIA, they've just passed a bill that forces people to choose whether or not to become an organ donor when they get a driver's license, and creates an Organ Donor Database.
Of course in other states, you can choose when you get a driver's license whether or not to donate your organs, but you're not forced to choose. In California you will be forced to choose. This is important because whether or not it's reported in the mainstream press, organs are usually taken from still living bodies - where the heart has stopped or is about to stop. But the brain or the other organs are still functioning. Sometimes they don't even wait for the heart to stop.
It has been demonstrated repeatedly that doctors all over the world are anxious to declare someone dead if they're organs can be legally harvested and will look for any excuse to do so, waiting only 75 seconds after death to begin carving people up.
And, as I just said you don't even have to really die.
Just in reading the first 5 minutes of Tracy's video transcribed above, you're assailed by a vertigo-inducing bending of perceptions. Your reality is time-deranged to an incalculable degree by memory holes. Then your attempts to redefine what's going on also fall into these holes...
The credits roll on, fading into black via low-resolution fade animations and you cling onto the last vestiges of whatever firmament remains to brace this reality against implosion, against collapse.
Clinging desperately onto nothing, you seek a place of refuge. Somehow, you found refuge but it was only found in a virtual sense.
Yet in reality, it was final.

Outro & Conclusion Continues
Back to The Invisible Hand with Tracy R. Twyman #1

"But it's not just the Chinese: I mean, let's face it."
"If you're an international banker, if you're a billionaire, If you're the richest of the rich - what's on your mind? What are you concerned about?
You wanna live as long as possible. And that means you want to have unfettered access to other people's spare body organs whenever you might need them.That's exactly what's going on. They have everything that could possibly want. They have us in their debt, supposedly.. and the one thing they can continue to demand from us now is access to our body organs so that they can live longer. And that's exactly what's going to happen.
Now I'm actually quite confident that the reason the administration has been so desperate to pass this health care bill - no matter how little it had in common with what the President and the Democrats in Congress said they wanted in the bill - it's because they're under pressure from external international forces to do so. They are so frantic about it. What's the rush?
They keep insisting that if we don't pass it, the economy will collapse. They are in fact issuing terrorist threats against us. Threatening to blow up the economy again if we don't give in to their present demands. Which this time happened to include handing over control of our bodies to them.
Amazingly this tactic continues to work over and over again on the brainwashed, corporate whores that we have elected to govern us.
Well folks, all I can say is: Don't Give In. Don't let them have your heart, don't let them have your lungs.
Stand up to this Tyranny.
Excellent post.
