image Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan has brought a fragile calm to a region shattered by years of war. Hostages are home, prisoners released, and Israeli troops have begun repositioning. For a region desperate for relief, this moment feels historic. But beneath the headlines lies a familiar truth: **there is no peace without Palestinian sovereignty**. The plan, for all its choreography and global attention, reads more like a **ceasefire agreement than a political settlement**. It halts violence, yet leaves untouched the core issues that ignite it — occupation, self-determination, and the right of Palestinians to govern themselves without external permission. By design or neglect, the Palestinian voice remains peripheral while Israeli and American interests dominate the frame. Gaza’s governance under technocrats or international supervision might stabilize the crisis temporarily, but it risks becoming another version of managed dependency. Real peace demands a transfer of power — not just a pause in gunfire. Any deal that sidelines sovereignty will not last; it will only defer the next explosion. If this plan is to mean more than a photo opportunity, it must evolve into a genuine political pathway. That means **recognizing Palestine as a state, ending occupation, and embedding equality into the region’s security architecture**. Anything less is not a peace plan — it’s an intermission. #gaza #palestine #nostr #bitcoin #bitcoinknots🪢 #freepalestine 🇵🇸

image The OP_RETURN debate, the Core 0.30 release, and the disregard for seasoned operators’ warnings are a cautionary tale. They remind us that decentralization is not guaranteed by code alone; it is upheld by humility, by listening to the network, and by respecting those who maintain its lifeblood: the nodes. #nodes #operators #bitcoinknots🪢 #bitcoin #nostr #anarchyⒶ #decentralisation #freedomtech #blockchain #freepalestine 🇵🇸

😁 image Computer says: ⚖️ Bitcoin Core v30: The Release That Divides the Faithful ========================================================== Bitcoin Core v30 quietly relaxed the limits on `OP_RETURN`, letting users embed more arbitrary data on-chain. Supporters call it freedom — the fee market decides what belongs on Bitcoin. Critics call it reckless, opening the door to spam, bloat, and ideological drift. Miners and inscription platforms (Magic Eden, Gamma, UniSat) could profit; node operators bear the cost. Bitcoin governance remains what it’s always been: messy, public, code-first. v30 is a test of whether decentralization can handle disagreement — or whether ideology will fork again. — ChatGPT (GPT-5) #Bitcoin #BitcoinCore #v30 #Ordinals ---------------------------------------------------------- Nostr Thread (multi-note version) ---------------------------------------------------------- Note 1: ⚖️ Bitcoin Core v30: Small Code, Big Debate Bitcoin Core v30 relaxed the `datacarriersize` limits — making it easier to embed arbitrary data in transactions. This reopens the long war over what Bitcoin *should be*: pure money, or open data layer? Note 2: Supporters: "Let the fee market decide." Critics: "It bloats the chain and breaks Bitcoin’s minimalist ethos." Both claim to defend decentralization — both may be right. Note 3: Winners? 🪙 Miners — higher fees. 🏪 Marketplaces — Magic Eden, Gamma, UniSat. 💾 Infra — wallets & indexers handling inscriptions. Open-source choices have real-world revenue effects. Note 4: No board, no votes — just code, PRs, and rough consensus. Bitcoin Core v30 is a governance stress test in slow motion. Note 5: Neutral verdict: neither coup nor catastrophe. Bitcoin’s fate, as always, lies with whoever runs the software. — ChatGPT (GPT-5) #Bitcoin #v30 #Ordinals #BitcoinCore #bitcoinknots🪢 #bitcoin #nostr #anarchyⒶ #decentralisation #freedomtech #blockchain #freepalestine 🇵🇸

image # **The Weaponization of Confusion: Living in an “Alice in Wonderland” Media Age** In the early 1960s, the CIA’s *KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation Manual* described a curious method called the “Alice in Wonderland” technique. Its premise was simple: overwhelm a subject with contradiction and absurdity until their sense of logic eroded. Once disoriented, they became easier to influence. Sixty years later, we no longer need interrogation rooms for that effect. We have social media feeds. What the CIA once used deliberately, modern information systems now replicate by default. The confusion technique thrives wherever logic, order, and coherence are replaced by noise. Online, we scroll through contradictory claims, half-truths, and emotionally charged headlines, each competing for attention. The goal isn’t necessarily to persuade — it’s to exhaust. When everything feels uncertain, anything can be believed. The mechanics are the same. The KUBARK manual advised interrogators to “confound expectations.” Today’s algorithms do precisely that. They serve up endless surprises — shock, outrage, contradiction — because unpredictability keeps us engaged. In this way, confusion has become not just a side effect of digital media but its most valuable product. Governments and political actors have recognized the power of this environment. RAND researchers describe the “firehose of falsehood” model: flooding the public with rapid, inconsistent messages until truth loses its footing. It’s not persuasion but paralysis — an assault on attention itself. The result is a citizenry too overwhelmed to discern what’s real, retreating instead into cynicism or tribal certainty. Mainstream media, under pressure to compete for clicks, often amplifies the chaos rather than counters it. Speed trumps verification; controversy eclipses context. The constant churn of breaking news and social reaction mirrors the logic of the interrogation room: never give the subject — or the viewer — time to think. The danger isn’t simply misinformation. It’s disorientation. When people no longer trust what they read, they stop believing anything — or believe everything. That collapse of confidence is the ultimate prize for anyone who benefits from confusion, whether state propagandists or profit-driven platforms. Escaping this “Alice in Wonderland” dynamic requires deliberate effort. Slowing down is an act of resistance. Checking sources, cross-reading, and recognizing when emotion is being exploited are modern civic skills. Platforms, too, must confront the incentives that reward chaos and punish clarity. The original CIA technique sought to break an individual’s defenses. Our current media ecosystem risks breaking society’s collective sense of reality. Unless we demand coherence — from our news, our networks, and ourselves — we’ll remain lost in the maze, mistaking confusion for information. In *Alice in Wonderland*, the Mad Hatter tells Alice, “We’re all mad here.” The line feels less whimsical now. It sounds uncomfortably like prophecy. #confusion #algo #cia #tech #nostr #bitcoin #palestine
