BLM rolls out Pavlovian punishment psyops via silent partners

Perhaps a pattern is emerging from the next wave of Leftist psyops. Perhaps the so called peaceful protestors are transitioning into overt terrorists through silent partners.

No need to scrawl graffiti or burn anything down when looters and violence can make a statement in response to any given cherry-picked story highlighted in the media without any overt branding or declaration.

In what may be a Pavlovian twist, we now witness a recent string of high volume lootings and an SUV plowing through a Christmas parade.

Is it pure coincidence that these criminal events occurred immediately following the Rittenhouse trial?

Or more likely, the increase in violent crime and theft is due to suppression of police. That's a no-brainer. The timing certainly could be coincidental, but it's hard not to connect the big lootings with the protests because they go hand-in-hand. 

Similarly remarkably coincidental, the string of mass shootings that accompanied the beginning of Biden's term and rollout of his agenda, which of course includes gun control. 

I've predicted that following the Rittenhouse verdict we may likely see a rise in mass shootings, and here comes the first, just on the heels of the Waukesha SUV incident which is all but forgotten.

I previously mentioned learning of how a psyop is intended to measure response so as to identify an enemy's soft spots and recalibrate for the next attack.

Following the Rittenhouse verdict, the Leftist media concluded that the trial enables 'open season on protestors'.

It's the same logic as claiming that black boys can't go for a walk down the street (or a jog) without fear of being shot by police or white supremacists. 

The vast majority of so called victims are proven guilty long after media signals injustice and a mob arrives on the scene to burn everything to the ground.

Now, we will watch the new wave of BLM and associated attacks unfold in Psyp V.2 - accompanied by  an pandemic-justified government overreaction and lockdowns, recession, inflation, police suppression, grant immunity to those who commit the most crime, and immigration overload.

1. Punish any opposing view point with violence and criminal attacks.

2. Accompany 'protesters' with weapons and gradually transition them into armies until the protests become invasions. 

3. Drive fear through covid, violence and extended unemployment to kill retail, create outrage to bolster media viewing and keep people in their homes to increase online consumption and push for virtual everything - to the benefit of tech companies and online retailers. Leave all perception to media communications to prevent normal social exchange and public activity.

4. Control 'red states' with celebrity liberal candidates - e.g. Matthew McCunt-is-he in Texas, and Dwayne Johnson in Georgia (likely running for President, but let's see if he considers being a governor now that he owns property in Power Springs, GA). Watching for more. Update: McCunt-is-he is no longer running in TX.


Here's what I'm talking about:

https://nypost.com/2021/11/21/armed-father-daughter-duo-seek-to-protect-anti-rittenhouse-protesters/


These riots should have been shut down a long time ago. Mayors not only allowed this to happen, they encourage it, they fund it.

How can a city not be responsible for allowing such violence? Burning buildings down and destroying vehicles is violent enough, right? Isn't that a little dangerous, or is it okay as long as it's just inanimate objects that might contain living beings? 

Consistent with the 'open season on protestors' narrative, going forward, we can expect rioters to be armed while they burn everything to ground and loot. I'm guessing they won't exercise the same trigger control as Rittenhouse. 

Isn't this the pathway to being an army instead of being protesters? 

Good luck to anyone in their way, and good luck to the national guard.

I guess if this is the new standard, Portland police had better show up in tanks.

Some might say all of those groups will eventually be supporting the protestors anyway. Well, not those in their way, of course.

With CRT now being heavily programmed into our major institutions including schools and corporations, we have a concerted brainwashing intent on establishing preemptive surrender by confession to what is considered an ultimate social offense - confession of racism, and agreement that racism is an exclusively white phenomenon. 

The current administration promotes the idea that white supremacy is the greatest terror threat in the U.S., a claim that flies in the face of statistics that show police shoot more whites than blacks, and that 70% of violent crime is committed by blacks and hispanics. 

With the recent Waukesha attack, Darrell Brooks Jr. makes a clear example of organized groups of blacks with violent intent towards whites, associating himself with the Black Hebrew Israelites, a known black supremacy group like the Nation of Islam

I began writing this speculative entry prior to Brooks' identification, it was easy enough to predict.

Blacks who embrace the momentum of BLM are merely tools of a much larger machinery. Does anyone actually believe the heavy corporate funding is because these entities actually give a damn about black people? The funding is massive, and without it BLM couldn't exist, much less be a global phenomenon, and to the point that they put their attention on Israel rather than concentrating on matters here in the U.S. It's not about black people. It's just a vehicle for creating a disposable army and media sensation.

Moreover, I'm less concerned with focusing on what amounts to marginalized 'racism' and more interested in identifying who is actually driving a racial narrative for the sake of dividing our country, suppressing police and incentivizing criminal behavior, demonizing and demanding surrender by those who constitute the majority of the population, and using COVID to establish illegal precedents for controlling the population. All while pushing the country into yet another recession, as Chinese investors pour in and buy up real estate.

Figma competitor, Penpot

 

https://penpot.app/why-beta.html

"It's Open Source. It's free," says a web page at Penpot.app.


Slashdot reader kxra writes:Penpot is a free-software, web-based vector design platform using .svg as a first-class filetype used as the underlying storage for all designs.

As more design teams around the world move to the convenience of multi-device synchronized and collaborative web apps, this is a welcome respite from proprietary vendor lock-in by the likes of Figma and Canva. Penpot has finally launched as Beta, with competitive features such as a template library that all creators can pull from.

It's created by Kaleidos Open Source, the same team behind the project management tool Taiga for Agile teams which is taking on the likes of JIRA and Confluence with FLOSS.

"Not having a free & open source UX/UI tool that would make devs participate in the design process and bridge the gap between UX/UI and code was a terrible itch for us..." explains the FAQ at Penpot.app. But it also answers the question: why Open Source?Software Technology has the unique advantage, compared to other industries and intellectual property, of having almost zero cost to replicate itself, thus providing a wonderful chance to massively distribute the tools for a more digitally sovereign society. Besides the pure license aspect of it and its legal framework, Open Source fosters more engaging communities where the lines between user and contributor are often blurred...

Penpot requires a browser, that's it. If you want to host your own Penpot instance, that's fine too. We plan to release a native app bundle later this year.

There is a theme here. Universal access. That's why we love to call our product Penpot, there's nothing more personal and yet more universal than a pot full of pens. It's all about choice.

Psyops in the United States

 

Search 'Psyops' online to find:

"if a PSYOP instructs people to surrender, military officers can measure success by how many surrendered and attributed their surrender to the PSYOP instrument."

One might assume that the purpose of BLM, critical race theory and the trans movement as instruments to create fear and intimidation and submission to further a political cause, specifically for cultural division ala "Divide and Conquer".

A more complex consideration is that the BLM and other radical leftists psyops are intended to further measure American surrender capacity, or even gullibility, or suggestibility.

By pressing the American public with extreme demands and seeing what takes and what does not, a tester may determine the full spectrum of tolerance and gather data and statistics on what will be effective.

Further, the notion that a psyop is an instrument of measure suggests the presence of a psyop is a pre-attack indicator, meaning the U.S. is likely heading for a measured attack.

If we consider on many levels the combination of events and media, a time line shows a wide range of influences that are making American culture vulnerable. 

Rough starter timeline:

98-2000: Internet rise of dot coms, book-cookery, Clinton admin

2000-01: Bubble burst

2001: 911, Election of W Bush

Digital kills print and music industries, newspapers, film dwindles

Rise of television, reality tv, porn, internet media, gaming, ecommerce

Fall of physical retail

2009: End of W Bush admin, Election of Obama

Recession, H1N1 and SARS COVID-2, BRICs market attempts to topple US Dollar with new, unified currency

2012-13: Trayvon Martin death, birth of BLM

2016: End Obama admin, Election of Trump

Economic prosperity, 5G rollout, 

2018-20: BLM peak violence, COVID 19, Rise of Critical Race Theory

2021: End Trump admin, Election of Biden, end of BLM US activity

Recession...

...next obvious moves: 

Arbery/Rittenhouse verdict outrage, banning of assault weapons, resurgence of BLM and likely violent escalation for psyop #2. 

Next COVID winter wave, excuse to tighten government control.

Escalation with China surrounding Taiwan.

Increased Chinese presence and acquisitions in the U.S.

Modular Restaurants

 

Stanford Engineers Team Up With Michelin-Star Chef To Build Modular Restaurants (techcrunch.com)28

Stanford engineers Alex Kolchinski, Alex Gruebele and Max Perham paired up with Michelin-star chef Eric Minnich to start Mezli, a company building fully autonomous modular restaurants. TechCrunch reports:Mezli's prototype robot restaurant is making a minority of the bowls served to customers and is supplemented by a human-powered kitchen. It is up and running and serving customers from the company's KitchenTown location in San Mateo. The machines take up a 10-foot by 20-foot space and are freestanding. They are loaded with ingredients, initially offering Mediterranean-style grain bowls, side dishes and drinks. The bowls start at $6.99. Diners can order directly from the restaurant or order online and pick up the food or have it delivered. The test location is already showing promise: 44% of customers who have tried the food have become repeat customers, Kolchinski said.

The company is now working on its third version of its prototype that will be ready for a public launch next year, he said. That momentum is backed by a $3 million seed round from investors including Metaplanet, roboticist Pieter Abbeel, restaurateur Zaid Ayoub and Y Combinator. That new funding will enable the company to add more talent, parts, food and operational expenses. Once the company can scale, Mezli will be able to mass produce thousands of the modular restaurants and deploy them in a fraction of the time and money it takes for traditional restaurants to get up and running, Kolchinski added. "We will be scaling up to a few locations and then mass producing them," he said. "We expect to hit 1,000 locations faster than other restaurants due to our mass production method."
