Knowing a thing and being told a thing are different and most people can’t tell which they’re holding. Reformed Christian, Nostr class of 23, I think Host of The ContraCast Podcast https://fountain.fm/show/XRuDwbnAzVdjjchD4Veq

I actually enjoyed listening to Buckley Carlson. Apart from their financial illiteracy, these two are waking up! A good watch actually. View quoted note →

I drove past 2 smoke shops, 4 liquor stores and 7 fast food joints on my way to pick up illegal raw milk because the government really cares about our health.

The most effective life is almost boring from the outside. A man whose work testifies. Whose family testifies. Whose keys, contracts, code, and confession all say the same thing. He does not need to be believed. He is evidenced. And the ones who follow him caught him not trying to be followed.

You are allowed as a sovereign adult, to speak your mind. Silence is not neutrality. Silence is consent. And the men running this country are banking on the consent of people who know better and say nothing.

GM. Nostr is yours. Post what you want. Build what you want. Zap who you want. Lurk a year. Argue at 2am. Go quiet and come back. Nobody here gets to tell you what this is for you. One thing is on all of us. Help one other person see what they’re standing on. This is probably the last protocol left with the tools to walk off the surveillance feed and out of the algorithmic slop the rest of the internet now runs on. Most people don’t know a door exists. You do. Point at it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

May all legacy platforms continue down their designed paths. When the replies are synthetic, the trending topics are synthetic, and the engagement is synthetic, you’re not on a social network. You’re in a simulation with ads.

Norman Finkelstein’s parents survived the Warsaw Ghetto and Auschwitz. He spent his career arguing that American Jewish institutions took that suffering and built an industry on it, and he was blacklisted from academia for saying so out loud. His claim was straightforward. After 1967, when Israel’s strategic value to Washington became obvious, a memory that had been largely private among survivors was professionalized into museums, curricula, films, and foundations. Not to honor the dead, but to discipline the present. The mechanism is simple. Any challenge to Israeli policy, any audit of the $3.8 billion annual transfer, any senator who hesitates on a resolution gets routed through the camps. Disagreement becomes denial. Policy becomes theology. Finkelstein’s word for it was extortion, and he meant it precisely. Not of Germans, who paid. Not of Swiss banks, who paid. Of the American political conscience, which pays in foreign policy autonomy. The atrocity is real. The leverage built on top of it is a separate object, and a legitimate target. Refusing to distinguish them is how the leverage survives. You are allowed to grieve the six million and audit the lobby. Finkelstein, whose family was the six million, insisted on it until they took his tenure. The least the rest of us can do is read him.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ image

Every man dies. The sats don’t come with me. The graph doesn’t come with me. The builds, the posts, the voice I sharpened for years, none of it. What stands on the other side is Christ. He came for sinners who deserved nothing. Took the judgment owed to me. Rose on the third day so death no longer has the last word. If that is true, it is the only thing that matters. Today He calls His people to close the work, gather together, and worship. He is worthy.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Gm
