What Will Not Recover: Government

Jeffrey A. Tucker

American Institute for Economic Research

So where does the public stand now on lockdowns? It’s not easy to find reliable polls. We do know that 3 in 4 Americans are willing to tell pollsters that the country is headed in the wrong direction.

In the long run, governments need to seek the consent of the governed. They can rule through police powers only in the event of panic. It works for a while. But when people start thinking normally again, the scale of what has happened will dawn on people. Then there could be hell to pay.

Advanced Cyber/IO, Commerce, Corruption, Idiocy, Ineptitude, IO Impotency

Google Version 2: The Calculating Predator is the public version of a series of reports prepared for clients in 2005 and 2007.

The topics covered in the monograph, published by a now defunct
publishing company, included an a review of Google's database technology Bigtable which remains today the core data management system after more than 15 years since its invention, Google's artificial intelligence activities, a review of Google's video technology, its programmable search engine (a system likely to be of interest in upcoming government investigations of the company), and technologies enabling Google's “walled garden.”

Meet Cybereason: The Israeli intelligence cyber-security front company that has been “simulating” the cancellation of the 2020 election

Cybereason's announcement of its hire of Andrew Borene coincided with its launch of its new “U.S. public sector business,” meaning that Cybereason now seeks to have its cybersecurity software running on even more of the U.S. government's most classified networks. Cybereason, for years, has already been running on several sensitive U.S. government networks through its partnerships with IT contractors for intelligence and defense, such as Lockheed Martin (also a Cybereason investor), WWT and Leidos. However, Borene's hire and this new publicly announced pivot towards the U.S. public sector clearly demonstrates the company's interest in further deepening its presence on U.S. government networks.

Amazon: A Burr under a Presidential Saddle?

This may just be an example of how a national scheme plays out on the local level. The Portland Press Herald reports, “Amazon Gets Priority While Mail Gets Delayed, Say Letter Carriers.” Mark Seitz, a Portland postal service veteran and president of the Maine State Association of Letter Carriers and the National Association of Letter Carriers Local 92, filed a complaint on July 13 with the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General. Corroborated by two colleagues, Seitz alleges Portland’s Postmaster James Thornton deliberately delayed first-, second-, and third-class mail by ordering Amazon’s fourth-class packages be sorted first. Willfully delaying mail, it turns out, is a federal offense. Interesting.

New Ad Depicts 2020 Election as a War

The year 2016 brought BREXIT and the Trump election. Socrates was then forecasting that the 2020 presidential election would be the most corrupt and violent in American history. That forecast appears to be on point. This new advertisement supporting Trump by an external group is very telling. Socrates has also shown that this COVID-19 pandemic has been manufactured and by no means has the entire society ever been locked down in a quarantine of this magnitude.
