Two apparently unrelated actions by bad actors. Two paragons of user security. Two. Count ‘em.
The first incident is summarized in “Huge Facebook Leak That Contains Information about 500 Million People Came from Abuse of Contacts Tool, Company Says.” The main point is that flawed software and bad actors were responsible. But 500 million. Where is Alex Stamos when Facebook needs guru-grade security to zoom into a challenge?
In our first official Rising Tide Foundation Podcast, Cynthia Chung and I had the good fortune to interview China Rising Radio's Jeff J. Brown on all things China.
In this extensive discussion, Jeff goes through the historic voyages of Admiral Zheng He generations before Columbus which brought commerce, culture and trade to Africa, Europe and even the Americas in order to understand China's current Maritime Silk Road program and foreign policy philosophy more generally. We also discuss the rise of Mao, Sun Yat-sen's leadership inspired by the example of Christ and Abraham Lincoln and also China's incredible ability to leap beyond the limited minds of geopolitical manipulators like Kissinger or Rockefeller under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping in order to bring about the most dramatic rates of development and progress ever witnessed in human history.
I have decided to make this one issue of The Steele Report ($11/month) public because it bears on the national conversation we need to have about Constitutional Counties and evidence-based public decision-making. The 1% — and their DNC and GOP toadies — have sold us out. The secret intelligence community less NSA — and DOJ and the FBI particularly — have sold us out. It is my intent to end all political campaign funding until such time as #UNRIG Election Reform Act is passed at both the federal level and across all 50 state legislatures. Then we can apply holistic analytics, true cost economics, and Open Source Everything Engineering (OSEE) toward localization instead of globalization — Constitutional Counties with CountyCoin and CountyWeb, nurturing bottom-up Faith, Family, & Freedom rooted in individual health & mental sovereignty.
True historians are now reporting that a government that gives legal protection to dogs, rats, wolves and cattle while systematically rounding up millions of human beings for slaughter is not compassionate about anything but power.
