In the 1930s, members of Technocracy Inc sought to replace market-based economies and political governance with a system where experts made decisions based on data, efficiency and technological feasibility. Technocrats aimed to regulate consumption and production based on energy efficiency, rather than market forces.
A movement that wanted to merge North America into one nation and extend its borders as far as the Panama Canal might sound incredibly familiar. But this group, called the “technocracy movement”, was a group of 1930s nonconformists with big ideas about how to rearrange US society. They proposed a vision that would get rid of waste and make North America highly productive by using technology and science.
The Technocrats, sometimes also called Technocracy Inc, proposed merging Canada, Greenland, Mexico, the US and parts of central America into a single continental unit. This they called a “Technate”. It was to be governed by technocratic principles, rather than by national borders and traditional political divisions.
Does Biden want to make the Democrats Happy?
Does Biden want to get the party energy up?
Fun facts:
If President Biden wanted to, before leaving office, he could legally,… release the tax returns of Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, John Roberts, and Ted Cruz.

WEBXRAY IS A TOOL FOR LEGAL AND COMPLIANCE PROFESSIONALS TO FIND PRIVACY VIOLATIONS ON THE WEB.
This, Libert says, is why he developed webXray, a crude prototype of which he’s demoing for me right now. It’s a search engine for rooting out specific privacy violations anywhere on the web. By searching for a specific term or website, you can use webXray to see which sites are tracking you, and where all that data goes. Its mission, he says, is simple; “I want to give privacy enforcers equal technology as privacy violators.” To level the playing field. A former Google engineer has built a search engine, webXray, that aims to find illicit online data collection and tracking—with the goal of becoming “the Henry Ford of tech lawsuits.” When you search online, is Big Tech watching? Absolutely, Tim Libert, an ex-Google engineer says.
Since 2012, he’s been researching the way the web tracks us. This week, he’s finally launching his own search engine to give power back to the people. What many don’t know is that a lot of this leaking data is not just harmful, but outright illegal. That’s where Libert’s webXray comes in. Its mission, he says, is simple; “I want to give privacy enforcers equal technology as privacy violators.” With webXray, Libert says anyone can get a sense of how sprawling the web of privacy violations being made every day really is, along with a premium tier for regulators and attorneys, who can use the tool to assess those violations and address them.
Every day, the companies that operate our most expansive and vital web infrastructure—Google, Microsoft, Facebook—track our browsing habits and gather extensive troves of data on us, based on what we search for and which pages we visit. When you search for where to get an abortion, is sensitive data being tracked and collected? Unfortunately, very possibly so. Is an addiction treatment page or trans porn site exposing your IP address? Quite likely. Every day, tech companies may violate those laws when, say, search engines and medical websites trample HIPAA by allowing search logs of users’ ailments to be tracked, documented, and sometimes monetized by companies like Google, or running roughshod over consent rules by turning a blind eye to advertising cookies embedded in publishers’ websites.
Tech Bros authoritarianism / fascism
strange ideologies behind Silicon Valley’s far-right turn is a must-read!
« Each patchwork would be ruled by a “realm”: a corporation with absolute power. Citizens would be free to move, but every other realm would also be ruled by corporate governments with chilling impunity. »
Tech bro geniuses just reinvented feudalism and think it’s the future
Peter Thiel has implied that giving women the right to vote was a mistake.
He’s also a billionaire, self-professed “Christian,” & longtime critic of “multiculturalism” who bankrolled JD Vance in 2022.
Some Christian extremists thus embrace him despite his homosexuality (he was outed by Gawker).
Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians – have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron. — Peter Thiel Featured in: Peter Thiel Quotes

THE 54TH ANNIVERSARY OF 😊EARTH DAY
1970 BELMONT PLATEAU, PHILADELPHIA
AND THE 4TH BTC HALVENING 🌻🔥🌈🌊🎯
Quite the coinkydink dontcha think?
I was on Belmont Plateau in Philly and seen all the halvenings.
US #Bitcoin ETFs took the price from $45K to 70K.
That’s an 80% increase within just 3 months. • Hong Kong approving spot $BTCETF next week • 4th halving in 8 days
– In total, a staggering $16 billion has left $GBTC, either exiting the market, or moving to other more competitive ETF products. -everyone hates @GRAYSCALE CEO

In 10 days, daily mining rewards will go from 0.5 basis points of total supply to 0.25 basis points. It’s a very, very small number. Meanwhile we are at <1% of global adoption. The demand for Bitcoin could literally 100x over the next decade. Forget about “supply shocks”.
You can assume WLOG (without loss of generality) that Bitcoin is fully mined. It’s entirely demand from here on out.

So Arizona applies an 1864 law to strip women’s rights and privilege rapists over women — and that’s apparently ok
But Colorado applied an 1866 constitutional amendment to remove an insurrectionist from the ballot — and that was apparently NOT ok?
Got it.
Owner Elon Musk has confirmed that he’s behind a secret account that engaged with explicit posts about former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison, posted odd responses to MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor, and interacted with off-the-wall FTX conspiracies, a lawsuit transcript reveals.
Musk is being sued by 22-year-old college grad student Ben Brody over posts he shared supporting a right-wing conspiracy theory that falsely linked Brody to a clash of right-wing groups in Oregon.
During a March deposition, Musk was grilled by Brody’s lawyer, Mark Bankston and admitted that he owns the @Ermnmusk X account.
@BoringSleuth Twitter takes FBI payments for censoring tweets that help swing Political preference their way. Then, at the same time, is betting on United States Government election outcomes using the Crypto site http://Augur.net. The bets are backed by evidence.

‘Far-right billionaire’ Peter Thiel revealed as FBI informant. October 19, 2023
Imagine THAT! https://www.alternet.org/peter-thiel-fbi-informant/ Johnson told Insider that he believes Thiel is primarily informing on foreign governments’ attempts to cement themselves within Silicon Valley. Johnson added that Thiel was explicitly told to not inform on former President Donald Trump or other US political figures.
@NerdNationUnbox https://twitter.com/NerdNationUnbox/status/1715020801173323867 Peter Thiel is cofounder of #Palantir which was a client of Bill Hinman’s Simpson Thacher. #Palantir signed a contract with the #SEC back in 2015 worth $43m and again, after Hinman joined the #SEC, worth $32m.
Thiel sits on the board of Directors for #Facebook… who led the Facebook IPO? Bill Hinman from STB
Not to mention The Thiel Fellowship award of $100,000 in 2014 was awarded to Vitalik Buterin creator of #Ethereum. Who gave #ETH a free pass? Oh that’s right Bill Hinman #ETHGATE #NoCoincidences
Now, Masters is running for US Senate in Arizona with more than $13 million from Thiel behind him. If Masters wins his August primary, he will face Mark Kelly, the former astronaut and husband of former Congress member Gabby Giffords, in one of several races expected to decide which party controls the Senate.
Thiel and Masters are willing to move fast and break things. But instead of disrupting taxi companies or hotels, they’ve got American democracy in their sights.
Arizona voters who want to comprehend just how unusual Masters is must understand the full pantheon of his influences. They include Curtis Yarvin, who describes himself as America’s foremost absolute monarchist blogger; Murray Rothbard, the reactionary economist who suggested libertarians use right-wing populism to push their agenda; and Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, whom Masters has praised (with caveats). Another favorite is Lee Kuan Yew, the late dictator of Singapore who oversaw a miraculous economic transformation while crushing the civil liberties of those who stood in the way.
But no one is as influential as Thiel, who confessed in a 2009 essay, “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”
