mircea_popescu: asciilifeform usg took opposite tack : instead of allying with underworld elite to keep underworld wanna-bes harmelss, it allied with underworld wannabes to "remove corruption" bla bla. as a result they got the orc cycle, as well explained by lafond and many others.

mircea_popescu: anyway. the situation is not stable, in the sense usg can't administer all this immense government with huge industrial interests in everything. which is why even china is giving it a run for its money.

mircea_popescu: but in any case, the process is wildly successful -- the whole "oh noes, corporate responsibility, banks stole our money" went exactly nowhere FOR THE EXACT REASON the usg "banks" play the role of the soviet planning committee. such can do no ill, by definition of state in socialism, and so... they WILL be rescued, with "money" freshly printed.

mircea_popescu: that if your google is successful, your google belongs to usg. which it was, and does.

mircea_popescu: anyway, there's still an open thread god damned it. so re "in the hope they'll achieve usg agency status" above : the final socialism, usg's "ourdemocracy" came up with a gamified nationalization process : they naturally confiscate the domain leaders in all domains, under the guise of you know, "pension fund investments" and "consumer protection law enforcement". ie, there's a faux money and a faux legal prong which make sure ☟︎

mircea_popescu: t space", in the hope they'll achieve usg agency status. which went nowhere, but then again there's no such thing as a buried corpse in socialism. it's not just craig wright that's still perambulating ; the original founder of webvan is still about. his business idea ? WEB POWERED DELIVERY OF GROCERIES! yes, 20 years later. no such thing as a burian in socialism.

mircea_popescu: anyway, to revisit the matter of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-25#1728843 : adrian sirbu, possibly the only romanian to have done anything since 1989 (he created the deliberate usg tool Pro Tv in 1995, a media company whose wikipedia page no longer mentions him -- very much a successful equivalent of the failed http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-05#1666048), has recently been accused of... you'll guess this not ? TERRORISM! ☝︎☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: yes to usg.

mircea_popescu: all usg colonies are ~same in this respect. if you're going to stay within the empire, live in rome.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-25#1728579 << gotta love how it's always "this usg agency scammed you, because it was called mp global AND NOT BECAUSE IT WAS AN USG AGENCY!!11" ☝︎

mircea_popescu: hopefully he has younger brothers, i can't imagine what possible use he can still be the usg turkfucker department.

mircea_popescu: whole of usg has like a developer and a half to carry the whole load of endless "agencies", mastercard sees five minutes of developer every full moon.

mircea_popescu: but the curse of stupid is amply distributed and heavy indeed. consider : for the past THREE YEARS i have been giving ANY WOMAN IN THE WORLD hundreds of dollars. this is more than ANY "organization" ever did for the women in this world, be it something from usg.alphabet, or usg.un bureaucracy or anyone else.

mircea_popescu: , notwithstanding he had proofs (but did he have proof those proofs were proofing ?!?!). in the end, after a lot of back and forth between various government agencies, they paid him 300k, "acquired" it (legally, of course, what usg steals is legally acquired, what slovak antique dealer owns is "mafia involvement") and then proceeded to sell it at auction. for ... 15.3mn.

mircea_popescu: hey, the euros are retarded. they end up footing the bill for usg red pseudomilitary adventures in the middle east via hosting refugees (hey, when's the last time anyone sent 10 mn syrians to live in new fucking york, instead of germany, france etc ?) and for usg blue pseudodiplomatic misadventure in the shape of paying more for gas, selling less machinery and total real estate collapse because no more russki suckers to buy u

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-19#1726724 << as far as i know (and what i don't know in this town ain't worth knowing) there's not at present any lubby deployed in usgistan internet "intelligence". ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-19#1726566 << nope. all it takes is for one hop to filter out the strange, and the whole usg sigint collapses in a pile of magic dust. ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: you know some switch you can rely on to filter out magic usg packets ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform understand though, they're ~already doing it~. usg SIGNALS can't hire outside of a pool of snowdens, mannings and reality winners

mircea_popescu: if blue usg can't pantsuit the conversation anymore, if the plebs won't sit put and eat their seoexpert/nfl combo, what could happen ?

mircea_popescu: anyway, the point here is that having lost any capacity to control the actual reality, the usg took the next possible defensive line, which is to say trying to control the conversation.

mircea_popescu: ie, you ~have alternative~ : join this usg corporation, wash toilets for a while, climb the ladder.

mircea_popescu: it's more to it than just that. up to say about the dotcom bubble, the Official Example of the USG Official Rooseveltian Doctrine of Social Mobility was...

mircea_popescu: this all ended in 2011, when a crack team of damien trevatt + gf (one jasmin choudhury ; split cca 2016 to whore out for deloitte uk) took over and pushed it in a "new direction", which consists of trying to make friends with the tedx zone of the blue usg. dood runs some minor conference organizer http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-11#1723924 item on the side. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: it was very much what you'd expect (somewhat anachronistically) of a "silk road 2.0" these days ; replete with moderators scamming users, various independent activities (what the usg calls illegal) and so forth.

mircea_popescu: funny shit, the ultra-pantsuit actually agree with the republic, usg worst thing to come out of fuhrerbunker.

mircea_popescu: (as per customary and recently discussed with keccak, the actual item and the item submitted to the usg braindamage competition differ)

mircea_popescu: (oh and since we're on usg tools : nominum, nsa's shell company used in the "community consensus" building of the reformed dns system etc, ended up parked in akamai's basement for "an undisclosed amount" earlier this year. which is how these work and why they exist in the first place.)

mircea_popescu: i think the evolution of the usg reclaimation of their own buterin waterfals is well documented by now, it's always the same thing.

mircea_popescu: hey, they waited, we let them. takes two legs for usg to walk on.

mircea_popescu: but back to the practical point : "retired" ben lawsky could not find a job with usg.comcast. leaving aside that argentine ben lawsky would not be retired by mp, because likely protected by complex orc tribal structure -- he WOULD very much end up at telco ag.

mircea_popescu: but anyone who is either french or lived in france any length of time knows that france is in fact just a dumber, shittier usg. though built way earlier, by FEWER locals.

mircea_popescu: this wasn't a copy job. this was "average human" reaching deep down and reconstructing usg.

mircea_popescu: i am satisfied they had NO FUCKING IDEA what the usg was.

mircea_popescu: which is my point here : globalism is an absolute necessity for usgistans. if you permit "independent", "sovereign", "national" whatever ourdemocracies you will get WORSE results than from the global one.

mircea_popescu: they creted their very own usg ; it works EXACTLY the same way as the larger one, except it's made by even dumber people / inbred islander idiots, and it shows. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: fuck the tards. there is 0 reason to work with the usg tendrils in any field and in any capacity.

mircea_popescu: but at least the usg is spending today and has spent for the past half century whatever fraction of a trillion each year in order to maintain the "public perception" that nukes actually do something. this way third worlders have something to elongate domain names with, and thereby IT HAS ALL BEEN WORTH IT.

mircea_popescu: usgtronic headcount is not worth money.

mircea_popescu: hey USG - take your useless sheep and drown them all for what anyone cares. seriously now.

mircea_popescu: basically the excel-powered secret agent strategy has become "try to disrupt bitcoin by creating fud on social media". which works to... disrupt usage by the usg's own muppets, the redditards, wikitards and assoerted other dust mongers ? which is somehow bad for bitcoin, or even noticeable or something ?

mircea_popescu: aha. so : there's a bit of mismatch here, whereby the republic is powerful and rich, whereas the perception in usg owned peon farms is disjunct.

mircea_popescu: it's why we need usg to protect us!!!1

mircea_popescu: they spend too much time on curated usgardens.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform obviously, you didn'[t expect the actual USG has any resources ?

mircea_popescu: or maybe he just cashed in whatever was left and paid usg for a new mortgage, or maybe was actually shot and left to bleed somewhere, or or or.

mircea_popescu: in other lulz, the cia's own manual of recommendable interaction with the usg reich : https://www.cia.gov/news-information/featured-story-archive/2012-featured-story-archive/CleanedUOSSSimpleSabotage_sm.pdf

mircea_popescu: "protected classes", ie usg-agencies doing "human services".

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=usg << not so. usg-tronic fails to appear.

mircea_popescu: all "us registered corporations" are simply agencies of the usg.

mircea_popescu: let's take the first one. why would $random city in $national country give up its taxi transportation system to the usg ?

mircea_popescu: indirectly via debt ie "bonds" underwritten by fed via usg.idiots 401k etc

mircea_popescu: contrary to usg media depictions, women that can fire infantry weapons are not usually women you'd like to fuck.

mircea_popescu: anyway, plenty of lulz to be had with the idiots. ask usgistani "extreme right" socialist flavour whether he'd shoot quadriplegic comatose septuagenarian white guy to save life of pregnant woman, race of father unknown.

mircea_popescu: there's entirely no difference between bush's "no kid left behind" and usgistani "fascist's" no derp left behind.
