_PSYOP-MILTON Will Become The Deadliest US Hurricane Due To The Illegitimate Federal Government & Its Criminal Agencies_

The presentation of the evidence that it's not purely a "natural" disaster. To say nothing of the politically-motivated Federal response, which is focused primarily on immigrants and other "oppressed peoples" [sic.]

https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/psyop-milton-will-become-the-deadliest

If these hurricanes were created/manipulated by the government, then that should spell bad news for the Exit & Build movement who thinks that starting intentional communities in the middle of nowhere will allow them to escape Agenda 2030. They don't need to send in the tanks anymore like they did with Waco and Ruby Ridge. They can charge the ionosphere and send in the storm of judgement to destroy your little community.

The good news, however, is that this is a perfect opportunity for the Tenther movement to get state and local governments to ban geoengineering and weather manipulation in their local areas, just like what Tennessee did a while back.

Mitra Q&A with @silverpill
Web

In your own words, what is Mitra?
> Mitra is a social media server for the Fediverse.

Why that logo? How did you come up with it?

> The outer shape is known as Rub el Hizb,
>it's an Islamic symbol. There is no deep meaning, I just saw it somewhere and decided to use it as a starting point. I experimented with many different designs and selected one that seemed most interesting and pleasing to the eye. You can spot a bunch of "M"s inside.

Why should more people become familiar with and use federated social media?

> You can have your own Twitter, Facebook or YouTube, connected to thousands of other small networks. Isn't that great?
>I think federation is the best architecture for a decentralized social network. The user experience is decent and the network can scale without compromising on decentralization, as was demonstrated by Email, XMPP and Matrix.

Why did you decide to build Mitra?

> Before Mitra I was working with blockchain technology. At some point I realized that decentralized financial infrastructure needs a social layer, and that existing solutions are inadequate. After doing some research on decentralized social protocols I picked ActivityPub because it was mature, well-designed and had a strong developer community with values similar to mine. The missing pieces were decentralized payments and decentralized identity, so I started working on these problems.

What makes Mitra unique compared to other Fediverse servers?

> So, one of my original goals was integrated payments. I tried several ideas and eventually settled on paid subscriptions. This feature provides a way to accept payments in Monero and publish premium content for paying subscribers.
> The second goal was decentralized identity, or "nomadic identity", as we call it in the Fediverse. This turned out to be a very difficult task, but I've made significant progress. Nomadic identity mechanism allows people to have an account that is not tied to any single server, but exists on many servers simultaneously. My implementation of this mechanism is not complete yet and currently can be used only by developers.
>Mitra also can federate over Tor and I2P networks.
>Besides that, it is very lightweight and easy to host, so it might be a good choice even for those who are not interested in subscriptions and nomadic identity.

What other Fediverse software would you recommend? (Servers, Clients, etc)

> My favorite server is Pleroma.
>I borrowed many ideas from it when Mitra was in the early stages of development.
>Streams
>is also very interesting. It implements nomadic identity in the same way as Mitra, and has many other nice features.
>Among web clients, my favorite was Soapbox, but its developer quit Fediverse (there is now a fork called Mangane).
>For Android devices, I recommend Husky.

In your opinion, what features are most important for censorship resistance?

> In my work I prefer to focus on the positive side of censorship resistance: digital sovereignty. A server that runs on your own hardware and that doesn't depend on any external services is practically unstoppable. This is already possible today with Tor and I2P, but requires specialized technical knowledge, and even if you have it, you can communicate only with a very small number of people.
>So the most important features are those that make this experience more accessible. Ideally, everyone should be able to send messages to millions of followers from a personal social media server that runs on the phone with unstable internet connection.

What are the biggest threats to online free speech, and what do you believe has kept them at bay the best?

>The biggest threat is centralization. It occurs on multiple levels, both technical and social, and every time there is a bottleneck, someone tries to use it to censor their opponents. What keeps it at bay are all those people who invest resources in building decentralized networks and circumvention tools, and those who make information about these tools accessible to the general public.

Are any of the alternative protocols (like nostr) meaningful competition from a censorship resistance perspective?

> Nostr seems to be the only meaningful competition, although it is still not big enough to matter. Other networks are even smaller, or not really decentralized.
>The current situation is really unfortunate because so much effort is wasted in technological dead ends. Fediverse is the biggest decentralized network and is perfectly capable of supporting decentralized identity, the purported lack of which is often used as an excuse to create a competing protocol.

How does a person, or even a small group directly oppose online censorship?

> Use decentralized networks and open source software. Educate others. Ultimately, this a collective action problem, and only together we can make censorship prohibitively expensive and therefore ineffective.

What are your short, medium and long term goals for Mitra?

> In the short term, I'll be working on several basic features that are still missing, such as polls, audience controls and moderation tools. Medium term plans include finishing nomadic identity system, improving premium subscriptions and implementing groups. I'm also planning to release a Rust library for developing ActivityPub applications. In the long term, I want to build a powerful social media server that has everything you need, costs nothing and can run in your pocket.

What motivates you to continue building Mitra into the future?

> I think a tool like Mitra is necessary, an no one else is working on that, so I have no choice but to build it myself.

Outside of just Mitra, how are you working to make the Fediverse even better?

> I proposed a number of standards for the Fediverse, covering message signing, quote posts, federated payments, data portability and other things. I also help maintain a platform for publishing those proposals (Fediverse Enhancement Proposals, or FEPs).
>Every Friday I publish a newsletter about the Fediverse: @weekinfediverse

What's the best way to support your work?

> Try Mitra. If you like what I'm doing, you can help by suggesting improvements, testing different clients, reporting bugs and spreading the word.
>If you're a developer, you can contribute to Mitra or implement my FEPs in your own project.
>I also accept donations. My Monero address is 8Ahza5RM4JQgtdqvpcF1U628NN5Q87eryXQad3Fy581YWTZU8o3EMbtScuioQZSkyNNEEE1Lkj2cSbG4VnVYCW5L1N4os5p

@Spingebill @ActivistPost If hurricane Milton impacts Orlando and destroys the Disney park, maybe they told the gov to do it so that they can claim insurance money before going bankrupt. :trollface:

Here is something that you almost never see on the modern, post-culture war Internet. There is this website known as "Terra Earth" which is a fansite for the unofficial Soul Blazer trilogy. On their forum, there is a subforum dedicated to conspiracy theories and debating heated topics. Best parts about it are:
1. All of these threads are contained within this subforum. You don't have to participate if you don't want to.
2. A site dedicated to a hobby has an off-topic forum dedicated to this kind of stuff. You almost never see this on modern Discord servers. People who post these kinds of threads usually get permabanned.
3. There is ZERO ideological bias. Everyone came to these threads with an open-mind and almost nobody had knee-jerk reactions. Everything is fair game. People may insult you, but this was before things like witch-hunts and lolcow drama became mainstream.

This subforum (and the forum as a whole) is nowhere near as active as it used to be (with each subforum getting a new post every few months), but the fact that it's still up shows how different the landscape the Internet was at the time. I mean, you even have one of the site's staff talk about how he thinks white pride shouldn't be considered racist (though in the same post, he also considers racial pride to be pointless, but still).

Using the term "Ponzi scheme" when what you really mean is "speculative bubble" turns a relatively intelligent post into retarded drivel.

Reminder that it is well documented that the government controls the weather. So it's likely intentional that they are creating these hurricanes and not giving anyone aid, so they can then build smart-cities, pod homes or whatever else they want on top of the ruble.
