My assumption is always that nothing is private on the internet. Even if a genuine person or group set up a private network how could you be sure that it wouldn't be hacked or infiltrated? Fortunately in my own case, I have nothing to say privately that I wouldn't say publicly even, of course, if what I want to say publicly doesn't go down too well in certain quarters. I do feel for people who want to engage in some privacy though. Maybe they're better off messaging by pigeon :) but then they'd probably be on to that too.

So at 9:22am Marina Matsapulina heard a much louder noise?

It's always layer upon layer of magic propaganda dust, isn't it?

Ultimately, I think Telegram gained legitimacy for the same reason some portray Putin as an antidote to the globalist agenda (a.k.a “Putin fighting the globalists”).

Putin is a corrupt tyrant but he is also Russian which people instinctively assume means he is in opposition to the western elites.

Likewise, Durov is a billionaire tech mogul (founder of VK, the “Facebook of Russia”) but he is also Russian which people instinctively assume means he is in opposition to the western “Big Tech” players.

We MUST move beyond our collective obsession of picking sides based solely on one’s nationality, religion or skin colour.

Our collective enemy is most often referred to as GLOBALISTS. There is a reason for that name!

Isnt that extreme tho ? Its important to live well locally but we always did pay some heed to global issues . I think we've always had to balance localism with globalism . Equally we've always needed 'masons' of some kind or another . Society needs ideas people and people who construct its structures to some degree. The issue seems to me to be about balance and we are losing the healthy balance at this point.

Why do we need globalism? Give me one reason!

Do you understand what Globalism means in this context?

Expand full comment

some degree of thinking and planning globally is obviously needed. if you spray something over your sky it will end up in my sky.. if you kill all your fish they wont migrate to my rivers .. some significant degree of global networking is needed . its about balance.

What you are referring to is global cooperation done on a voluntary basis.

This is definitely needed and I have no issue with that but that's NOT "Globalism".

Globalism is a single agenda forced on all the nations of the world and their people through globalist institutions in order to enable a small elite to TAKE OVER THE PLANET with the ultimate endgame being the removal of nation states and establishment of one world government/governance system.

If you think the above has any benefit or role to play in the future of our species, I'd be very keen to hear your reasoning.

its about degrees of global effort .. I'm like a LoTR character thinking its better to have a group of differing cultures unite rather than one corona ring to rule them all ... but there will be a need for certain global efforts. What I dont know is if they tried all that and see globalism as our last chance to get things right .

cooperation hasnt worked so far has it .. its a lovely ideal . the trust doesnt exist so it would be naive to bank on it. some things would need to be firmly entrenched to make people accord. How much of that I dont know. reading the various sums it looks like we are doing very very badly at agreeing to cooperate. How much globalists have contributed to this i dont know.. but i know we are messing up a tonne of things globally and we'd need to be very committed to start solving that . I mean what do you do if one country decides to build a huge dam to get very energy rich and turn its neighbours into a desert ?? you can say ' be nice' or 'play fair' .. but would people ? clearly some global rules need to prevent excesses .. but how ??

Look, you make a valid point but what enforcement mechanism do you propose...and who enforces the enforcers?

Either way, whatever we have now cannot continue!

And before I forget: substack is a honeypot. Is nothing sacred 😂

Expand full comment

I once heard that Substack is a kill box and that makes total sense to me. I don’t believe that there is a platform that allows pretty much anything that is not controlled by the globalists. We are just in a controlled area that’s all; reach and ‘contamination’ are limited. Still, you can accept that and still make use of it.

I call Substack a ghetto. Here we are corralled together - out of the public view - harmless to the totalitarians.

Expand full comment

Yes, spot on. But it has been tremendously useful to me personally because I’ve seen/read stuff that I wouldn’t have had access to anywhere else. So, I can live with that.

I had a back channel providing me with content from Telegram, I admit. There have been some awesome activists there from day one. But I prefer the team here.

This is a beautiful and thorough post, many thanks!

I lost count of the number of times I warned against Telegram. My son (computer coder) looked at it and said it was wide open - not at all encrypted and he forbade me to open an account.

Later - I searched Telegram Terrorist and the number of arrests and court cases which came up was eye-watering. People were getting busted everywhere for posts written on Telegram.

I feel very sorry for anyone who fell for the hype. Hopefully, they will not be so easily fooled in the future.

As for Pavel Durov - I bet he is NOT in prison! He is probably staying with Macron in some fancy chateau, sipping champers and laughing all the way to the bank, like all these wannabe globalist totalitarian predators.

Interesting that he is called the 303rd richest person in the world. There's that '33' again. Total spook.

Saying Durov is an honest developer of secure apps is like saying Sam Bankman-Fried is a trustworthy banker (if such a thing were even possible.)

I thought the whole arrest thing was a psyop from the beginning. Just my good ol’ gut reaction. He even looks like a AI creation. 🤣

Agree. Quit Tg soon after someone exposed that backdoor for hacking. No “billionaire” (so they say) gets there by honest, uncompromised means.

"Privacy" is a joke. There is none. Hide in a cave in the Yukon with a cellphone and "we can pinpoint your location within five meters". Proton is a joke. Switzerland! Yeah, sure, we can trust the Swiss! For what, chocolate. I use Proton but only due to my loathing of all thing "Alphabet".

Putin was himself a young global leader so it's just entrapment schemes, it seems.

Telegram, eh ? A bloke on Insta wanted me to use Telegram to chat with him, coupla months back. I suppose there must be people who're so desperate they hit on old ladies. [grin]

I got a dick pic from someone in private messaging here, on Substack the other day! At 72, it was the first time anyone has sent me one. I was in fits of laughter! Made my day! 🤣😂

signal ?

Assange's circle recommended it too i recall . Thing is if the very rich want to bully everyone what likelihood is there for an app to be libertarian ? parler was shut down and i worry with these smaller companies that close down what becomes of the data they stored ?

Expand full comment

All data is taken... and many libertarian's are not what they claim to be, especially the famous ones. Meet them in person ( not on-line) and watch them for a few days, look at how their conferences are run and follow their $. As far as Assange's circle, how was it he got so mainstream by the Guardian, Newsweek and more? How many others are really what they appear? Maybe too he is not what he seems. Pamala Anderson and all her visits may be a "signal". Who knows but there are many in these movements that are used for other agendas: Dali Lama CIA payroll, Gloria Steinem and more "heroes" used for mass psyops... and what happened to every movement, even most churches? So many used for the bread and circus to keep us in false hopes and fantasy. No app is "safe" we have been lied to the whole time. I wish it was different, believe you me.

The data is being stored in all the data storage places around the world. Check it out, they use massive water and electricity, not very "sustainable" as the Davos/UN/WHO claim we need to be...

Simply another example of different ways to herd ( and steal all data) of the "rebels"... most of the "freedom fighters" I have tried to talk to this about in person did not care... later realized duh, they make quite a good living on selling freedom and pretending to be crypto and homesteading lovers, yet never ever would they listen or care about data and what happens to it. Unfortunately this whole web is a DARPA project and everything is taken to build AI, everything. Check out the massive data centers built and the ones around the world being built... and thank you for writing this!

Best privacy, in person with no phones or computers or anything... this is a web for a reason and it's trapped most of the world...books, face to face conversations, paper and pencils can also be nice.

If you spend any time with any of the tech companies, look behind the curtains at the tech conferences, you will see it's ALL a military operation and has been since the start.

There is no privacy online it is all controlled ultimately through DAARPA and intelligence agencies. People are never gonna wake upntgo the fact that ofbyounwant to bring down the NWO then there is a very simple answer as to how to do that. Ditch your smartphone .

Thank You! I smelled a rat when They first "arrested" Him and looked around, finding His WEF background and felt the rat smell was spot on.

Theres a reason social media is Free and its not cuz they want to hear peoples opinions. Its so they can trend and track the users postings any way they want and do with that information what they will. Avoid Social media platforms as they are means to entrap people angered by the willfully unaccountable clowns foisting garbage policies on their national publics.
