Farmers Market Wayville "IndyWatch Feed Allworld"

Adelaide families now have the opportunity buy fresh food directly from producers from all over SA at the Adelaide Showground Farmers Market. The 20,000 strong crowd that turned up for the farmers market which formed the centrepiece of the 'Go Organic Festival' in September in 2005 encouraged the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society (RAHS) to back the foundation of a permanent farmers market by a not-for-profit community organisation. The market opened on October 1st 2006 with a massive crowd of 10,000 shoppers and runs each Sunday (apart from the weeks of the Royal Show) from 9am-1pm.

In the tradition of farmers markets, it is a food market at which both food producers and consumers can get a fair price for food produced in SA and support regional and sustainable land use. The market guarantees that you buy direct from the producer and is known for its strict adherence to the ethics of farmers markets which now number in their thousands worldwide as families seek to avoid overstored food from major retailers who pass on meagre prices to farmers. In Australia, the farmers market movement is represented by the Australian Farmers Market Association and SA's peak body, the SA Farmers Market Association, will soon be launched.

The Adelaide Showground location is superb, with a major bike trail, the Glenelg tram line, a major rail line, numerous bus routes all converging to make it one of the most accessible sites in Adelaide. Parking is also easy and cheap.

120 producers offer their extraordinarily diverse products (everything from oysters to almonds and bread to boysenberries!). It is accessed from the car parks at the Leader Street (southern) end of the Showgrounds.  

Becoming a member brings with it 10% discount on all purchases as well as a right to vote in the management of the market. Details and memberships are available at www.adelaidefarmersmarket.com.au.

The Food Forest is a foundation stallholder at the market and presents a wide range of foods, always including its signature specialty - organically certified pistachio nuts. We are there on alternate weeks (we run short courses on the other weekends).

gypten wollte Russland angeblich 40.000 Raketen fr ... "IndyWatch Feed Allaunews"

gypten wollte Russland angeblich 40.000 Raketen fr den Ukrainekrieg liefern, steht laut Washington Post in den geleakten US-Geheimdienstdokumenten.

Ich bin ja normalerweise kein Freund von Geheimdienst-Geraune und Regierungsaussagen, auer sie sehen fr den Dienst oder die Regierung klar berraschend oder nachteilig aus. Wenn also die Ukraine jetzt sagt, sie htten ihre Angriffsstrategie nicht ndern mssen wegen dieser Leaks, dann ist das fr mich vllig uninteressant, denn was sollen die denn bitte sonst sagen, selbst wenn sie die Strategie ndern mussten.

Aber gypten ist ein alter Verbndeter der USA in der Gegend, oder wie es das US-Auenministerium formuliert:

Egypt is a valued U.S. partner in counterterrorism, anti-trafficking, and regional security operations, which advance both U.S. and Egyptian security. The decades-long defense partnership is a pillar for regional stability. Since 1978, the United States has contributed more than $50 billion in military assistance, which has contributed to Egypts capabilities to protect and defend its land and maritime borders and to confront an evolving terrorist threat, including in the Sinai Peninsula.
Raketen sind in dem Kontext Munition fr Raketenwerfer. Google-Stichwort ist MLRS. 40.000 Stck ist zwar eine bemerkenswert groe Menge, aber nicht ganz so unrealistisch wie sich das auf den ersten Blick anhrt.

Der russische Mehrfachraketenwerfer heit BM-21 Grad und gypten wrde dann wohl passende SAKR-45-Raketen liefern. Das 45 steht fr die Reichweite, 45 km. Das entspricht auch der Reichweite der billigsten Raketen fr das vergleichbare amerikanische Himars-System, das die Ukraine benutzt. Es gibt auch Raketen mit viel mehr Reichweite, 100km und mehr, aber die sind dann auch viel teurer und werden daher eher fr besondere Spezialeinstze aufgehoben.

Kann natrlich sein, dass das alles gelogen ist, um den gyptern ein Signal zu schicken. Mir ist nur gerade nicht klar, was das dann genau fr ein Signal sein sollte. Die galten bisher als solide US-Aliierte. gypten ist nicht in der Nato aber ist seit Ronald Reagan offiziell Major non-NATO ally der USA.

Hey, psst, wisst ihr noch, das Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz? ... "IndyWatch Feed Allworld"

Hey, psst, wisst ihr noch, das Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz? Dass uns ein fr alle mal den ganzen Hass im Internet vom Halse schaffen sollte?

Hat es natrlich nicht.

Tja. Was tun, wenn man eine Ideologie durchsetzen will, die wenig Kontakt zur Realitt hat? Na double down natrlich! Wir brauchen einfach noch viel mehr Durchsetzungsgesetze frs Internet. Hier ist ein toller Vorschlag!

Wer wiederholt andere im Internet schwerwiegend persnlich angreift, muss mit schrferen Konsequenzen rechnen. Gerichte sollen Social-Media-Konten sperren lassen knnen - so plant es das Bundesjustizministerium.
Tja. Wer dachte, wenn dieser unsgliche Maas da weg ist, dann kehrt vielleicht wieder Sachkompetenz im Justizministerium ein, der sieht sich getuscht.
Im Mittelpunkt steht die Idee, dass Menschen, die in den sozialen Netzwerken angegriffen werden, "unter gewissen Voraussetzungen" per Gericht eine Accountsperre verlangen knnen.
Ja komm, ey, das ist wie im realen Leben. Das Netz darf kein rechtsfreier Raum sein!1!!

Aber Fefe, ist das nicht anfllig fr Missbrauch? Aber nicht doch, mein Herr!

Dieses Vorhaben richtet sich gegen "notorische Rechtsverletzer im digitalen Raum"
Genau wie bei den ganzen Polizeigesetzen verspricht man uns vorher, dass das blo in absoluten Ausnahmefllen und gegen schwerste Schwerkriminelle eingesetzt werden darf. Und dann, zwei Wochen spter, verfolgen sie damit Urheberrechtsverletzungen und Steuerhinterzieher.
Eine solche Sperre muss "verhltnismig" sein und es muss um "schwerwiegende Persnlichkeitsverletzungen" gehen.
Viel Raum fr Virtue Signalung und Willkr? Aber nicht doch! Unsere Richter werden uns retten. Wie sie uns auch jetzt schon vor Urheberrechtsabmahnabzockern retten, msst ihr wissen. Und vor Polizeigewalt.
Auerdem soll eine Accountsperre nur erfolgen, wenn andere Mglichkeiten nicht ausreichen - etwa die Lschung eines Posts - und "Wiederholungsgefahr" besteht.
Da ruft man dann einfach in Delphi an und fragt das Orakel. Das wei dann, ob Wiederholungsgefahr besteht.
Ein Accountinhaber soll von der jeweiligen Plattform auf ein Sperrersuchen hingewiesen werden und Gelegenheit zur Stellungnahme haben.
Lassen wir dieses Feigenblatt doch gleich weg. Wenn es soweit kommt, hat schon ein Richter die Beweise der "digitalen Gewalt" gesichert und befunden, dass es sich um eine "schwerwiegende Persnlichkeitsverletzung" handelt, und dass die Sperre "verhltnismig" ist. Offensichtlich ist es dann zu spt um irgendwas durch eine Stellungenahme abzuwenden. Ein Glck, dass bei uns die Whler alle so blde und empathiefrei sind, dass sie sich nicht vorstellen knnen, wie dieses Gesetz eines Tages ge...

Habt ihr das auch gelesen? Macron hat in China bse Dinge gesagt?

Mhh. Was denn so? Gucken wir doch mal.

Macron hatte in Gesprchen mit der Zeitung Les Echos und dem Magazin Politico eine eigene europische Strategie in der Taiwan-Frage gefordert.
Ketzerei! Verbrennt die Hexe!!!

Besonders geil finde ich aber solche Leute hier:

Auch der Partei- und Fraktionsvorsitzende der europischen Konservativen, Manfred Weber (CSU), bte Kritik: "Wer fr Freiheit und Demokratie eintritt, ist kein Mitlufer."
Oh, ach? Die CSU? Die mit dem Polizeigesetz, bei dem Unschuldige unbegrenzt weggesperrt werden knnen? Die erzhlen uns jetzt was von Freiheit und Demokratie?

Wenn ihr brigens mal gucken wollt, was der Macron tatschlich gesagt hat: Hier ist die Primrquelle. Deepl kann das gut bersetzen.

Macron hat vorgeschlagen, dass sich die Europische Auenpolitik nach dem Willen der Whler in der EU richtet, nicht nach dem Diktat der USA oder von sonstwem. Mit anderen Worten: Er tritt fr Freiheit und Demokratie ein.

Gut, wenn man so tief im Dickdarm der USA wohnt wie der Rttgen, dann sieht man natrlich in alle Richtungen nur Scheie. Aber schn warm ist es da!

Wichtig ist an der Stelle auch, was Macron nicht gesagt hat. Er hat nicht gesagt, dass er im Taiwan-Konflikt auf Seiten Chinas steht. Oder Taiwans. Er findet blo, dass die EU da aus eigener Demokratie-Willensbildung drauf kommen sollte, nicht weil das diktiert wird.

Oh und: Wenn die EU keine eigene Auenpolitik hat, wieso sollte dann ein Macron berhaupt nach China reisen? Er hat hier im Wesentlichen begrndet, wieso die EU berhaupt Diplomatie mit China betreibt.

A Front Company and a Fake Identity: How the U.S. Came to Use Spyware It Was Trying to Kill "IndyWatch Feed Allworld"

The secret contract was finalized on Nov. 8, 2021, a deal between a company that has acted as a front for the United States government and the American affiliate of a notorious Israeli hacking firm. Under the arrangement, the Israeli firm, NSO Group, gave the U.S. government access to one of its most powerful weapons a geolocation tool that can covertly track mobile phones around the world without the phone user's knowledge or consent. Only five days earlier, the Biden administration had announced it was taking action against NSO, whose hacking tools for years had been abused by governments around the world to spy on political dissidents, human rights activists and journalists. The White House placed NSO on a Commerce Department blacklist, declaring the company a national security threat. The secret contract ... violates the Biden administration's public policy, and still appears to be active. The contract, reviewed by The Times, stated that the "United States government" would be the ultimate user of the tool, although it is unclear which government agency authorized the deal and might be using the spyware. Elements of America's expansive national security apparatus in recent years have bought the weapons, deployed them against drug traffickers, and have quietly pushed to consolidate control of them into the hands of the United States and its closest allies. The F.B.I. purchased access in 2019 to NSO's most powerful hacking tool, known as Pegasus, which invades mobile phones and mines their contents.

Censorship by Proxy: How Big Tech Censors Global News Platforms "IndyWatch Feed Allworld"

Big Tech giants and their oligarchic owners now engage in a new type of censorship, which we have called "censorship by proxy." Censorship by proxy describes restrictions on freedom of information undertaken by private corporations that exceed limits on governmental censorship and serve both corporate and government or third-party interests. Censorship by proxy is not subject to venerable First Amendment proscriptions on government interference with freedom of speech or freedom of the press. Censorship by proxy alerts us to the power of economic entities that are not normally recognized as "gatekeepers." For example, in 2022, the digital financial service PayPal (whose founders include Peter Thiel and Elon Musk) froze the accounts of Consortium News and MintPress News for "unspecified offenses" and "risks" associated with their accounts, a ruling that prevented both independent news outlets from using funds maintained by PayPal. Consortium News and MintPress News have each filed critical news stories and commentary on the foreign policy objectives of the United States and NATO. PayPal issued notices to each news outlet, stating that, in addition to suspending their accounts, it might also seize their assets for "damages."  Joe Lauria, editor in chief of Consortium News, said he believed this was a case of "ideological policing." Mnar Adley, head of MintPress News, warned, "The sanctions-regime war is coming home to hit the bank accounts of watchdog journalists."

Pentagon Tries to Cast Bank Runs as National Security Threat "IndyWatch Feed Allworld"

In recent months, the Pentagon has moved to provide loans, guarantees, and other financial instruments to technology companies it considers crucial to national security a step beyond the grants and contracts it normally employs. So when Silicon Valley Bank threatened to fail in March following a bank run, the defense agency advocated for government intervention to insure the investments. The Pentagon had even scrambled to prepare multiple plans to get cash to affected companies if necessary, reporting by Defense One revealed. Their interest in Silicon Valley Bank stems from the Pentagon's brand-new office, the Office of Strategic Capital. The secretary of defense established the OSC in December specifically to counteract the investment power of adversaries like China in U.S. technologies, and to secure separate funding for companies whose products are considered vital to national security. The national security argument for bailout, notably, found an influential friend in the Senate. As the Biden administration intervened to protect Silicon Valley Bank depositors on March 12, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., who chairs the powerful Senate Intelligence Committee and also sits on the Banking Committee, issued a press release warning that the bank run posed a national security risk. Warner the only member of Congress to have publicly tied SVB to national security has received significant contributions from the financial sector. Since 2012, Warner has received over $21,000 from Silicon Valley Bank's super PAC.

Note: Many tech startups with funds in Silicon Valley Bank were working on projects with defense and national security applications.

US Army awards Lockheed up to $4.5 bln missiles contract "IndyWatch Feed Allworld"

Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) said on Monday the U.S. Army has awarded a multi-year production contract for Joint-Air-to-Ground Missiles (JAGM) and HELLFIRE missiles, in a deal that could go up to $4.5 billion including follow-on awards. The contract, which will have a total value of $439 million in its first year, is among the first multi-year awards for precision munitions, as the Pentagon looks to build stocks in the hopes of deterring China. In March, President Joe Biden requested $842 billion for the Pentagon and $44 billion for defense-related programs at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Energy and other agencies. The 2024 budget proposal is $28 billion more than last year's $858 billion. Lockheed added the contract also offers three additional follow-on awards which will start in late 2023, allowing for a total contract value of up to $4.5 billion over the next four years. The JAGM program anticipates a "significant increase" in international demand for the weapon system, Lockheed said.

Note: Many benefit financially from warfare when it comes to provoking proxy wars and furthering U.S. agendas of full-spectrum dominance, as thoroughly explored in the book War is a Racket by the highly decorated general Smedley D. Butler. According to a revealing report, at least 47 members of Congress and their spouses hold between $2 million and $6.7 million worth of stock in Lockheed Martin and other companies that are among the top 100 defense contractors.

Ruling Class Propaganda Outlets Quit Twitter "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Two propaganda outlets of the ruling class have quit Twitter after being accurately labeled as state-funded media. National Public Radio (NPR) left Twitter after being declared government-funded media,  even though it says it right there in the companys title.

National and Public mean government-funded propaganda. But now another public company that doesnt like being called out for what it is that has decided to follow suit.  Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) has followed National Public Radio in bailing from the Twitter platform after the social media network labeled both organizations as government-funded media.

 

PBS stopped tweeting from our account when we learned of the change and we have no plans to resume at this time, PBS spokesman Jason Phelps said in an email. We are continuing to monitor the ever-changing situation closely.

The spat began after Twitter tagged NPR as state-affiliated media, a description it also uses for propaganda accounts from Russia, China and the UK. Twitter later changed the wording to government-funded media, but the organization has called the description inaccurate and misleading because its a nonprofit group with editorial independence. -ZeroHedge

Modern Terrarium Simulates Different Climates to Allow Any Plant to Thrive Indoors "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Modern Terrarium Simulates Different Climates to Allow Any Plant to Thrive Indoors

The Biorb air 60 terrarium

In every plant parent's life, there comes a time when they feel a little adventurous. Once they've mastered common houseplants and succulents, they want something a little more colorful, or maybe something exotic for a challenge. But not everyone can replicate the tropical and humid conditions some flora demand at home. Luckily, there are modern hi-tech terrariums that can work wonders and be aesthetically pleasing at the same time.

The AIR 60 Terrarium by biOrb is a stylish spherical terrarium with a capacity of 16 gallons. It can turn your favorite plants into a decorative piece that matches any room, all while providing the ideal conditions any plant needs to survive. Instead of regular glass, this terrarium is made of acrylic, which is 10 times stronger, 50% lighter, and has a 93% transparency rating.

Unlike an old-fashioned terrarium, which is basically just a fish bowl, AIR 60 can replicate the conditions found in tropical climates. It comes equipped with auto lighting, humidity, and airflow systems to simulate the temperatures and humidity the plant would find in its native environment outdoors. There are six LED lights at the top within the dome that work on a 24-hour cycle, imitating day and night, to encourage natural growth.

In addition to the AIR 60, biOrb has an 8-gallon terrarium aptly called AIR 30. It may be half the size, but its just as effective. It can also simulate three climate settings to fit your plants needs: tropical for plants that require high humidity, semi-arid for cacti and succulents, and medium for temperate plants. To prevent them from growing and bending towards just one light source, the top cover houses an array of LED lights that you can program for 8-hour, 10-hour, 12-hour, or 14-hour light cycles.

Whether you consider yourself a green thumb or a plant newbie, these terrariums can help make sure your plants thrive within the micro habitat. They can sense when the humidity drops and gently adjust the air within the sphere using advanced misting and fan settings.

One of the biggest known issues with regular terrariums is that they beco...

In Theatrical Murals and Dioramas by Aryz, Dramatic Scenarios Unfold in Vivid Color "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

A large-scale, diorama-like painting of lions and circus performers inside of a church.

La Causa (2020), Saint-Merri Church, Paris, France. All images Aryz

In vibrant blocks of color, Catalan artist Aryz creates multistory murals and diorama-like artworks that radiate within their surroundings. Known for his saturated chromatic installations (previously) that fill the sides of apartment blocks or stand as panels in grand interiors, the artist emphasizes an outsized sketchy style as if the pigment were applied with giant crayons or pastels.

Aryz often reveals a grid-like structure redolent of paintings underdrawings, but rather than cover the structure, he creates distinct compartments containing a variety of textural and compositional elements. While much of his work emphasizes a flat two-dimensional plane, murals like El Entreacto expand the grid and incorporate three-dimensional depth with shadows and cartoonish details that glitch or cut off.

Often featuring figures in early 20th-century garments, Aryzs dramatic scenes involve lions and circus performers, airplanes, or injured figures, evoking associations with early cinema and the First and Second World Wars. The murals locations provide incredible backdrops for the artists theatrical interior scenes, nodding to the rich history of crumbling old chapels or cavernous sites like Saint-Merri Church in Paris that have been damaged and reconstructed over many centuries.

A Better World Through Financial Freedom: Why Preston Pysh Is Bullish On Bitcoin 2023 "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

For Preston Pysh, the Bitcoin 2023 event in Miami is a chance to showcase a solution for the crumbling global financial system.

As part of an investment-focused podcast that recently surpassed 100 million downloads, Preston Pysh describes the basics of Bitcoin and explores its investment case, distilling some of the most prescient aspects of the technology for listeners who might not realize how important it is. He has a knack for hosting the most knowledgeable guests to break down the most pressing topics.

For instance, Pysh has released recent episodes describing Texas evolving Bitcoin mining policy with Pierre Rochard, one exploring the state of the legacy financial system with Alf Peccatiello and one explaining decentralized social media platform Nostr with developer William Casarin.

Pysh consistently hosts timely, in-depth conversations with insightful guests, producing one of the best outlets for exploring how Bitcoin is changing our world. Now, hell be bringing that insight to the stage at Bitcoin 2023, where his combination of traditional investment expertise and holistic understanding of Bitcoins implications will grapple with a global financial environment that seems to be spinning out of control.

I suspect one of the hot topics that will be discussed is the central banks inability to get inflation under control and what that means for Bitcoin, Pysh said in an interview with Bitcoin Magazine. It seems like OPEC+ and BRICS nations are trying to exercise their control of energy production and distribution in the face of western central bank policies that attempt to control interest rates and sanctions. I expect this situation to get really intense in the second and third quarters of 2023 and the knock-on effect is going to demonstrate the lack of control that policymakers have over the price of fiat currency.

While such a precarious economic situation is wreaking havoc in the form of wealth debasement and uncertainty across the world, Pysh remains optimistic about bitcoin the asset as a solution and bullish about its path for 2023.

Bitcoins long-term HODLers display a level of conviction Ive rarely witnessed in any other asset c...

Artist Constructs Portraits of Famous Faces by Stacking Thousands of Books "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Artist Constructs Portraits of Famous Faces by Stacking Thousands of Books

Book Art by Jordi Prat Pons

There are many different methods to organizing your library. While some people prefer to sort books by title or author's name, others find enjoyment in arranging covers by their color. Well, artist Jordi Prat Pons takes this approach to another level by constructing massive portraits of famous faces, including one of Vincent van Gogh with the well-placed spines of 2,400 books.

Pons has been creating collage art for over 30 years, finding particular inspiration in working with paper and books. Many of his materials are donated by his followers, while others he sources through donations and thrift stores. After receiving about 8,000 books, he began working on the Van Gogh portrait during the COVID-19 pandemic. Taking advantage of the lockdown, I started an installation paying homage to one of the greatest individuals in the world of art, Vincent van Gogh, he tells My Modern Met. Vincent was writing all his life letters to his brother Theo and years later a book was published titled Letters to Theo. I would like to thank Vincent for everything he has given to the world of art and what he has given to the world in general. I wanted to send him some letters to thank him for everything.

Pons neatly stacked dark-colored books, ranging from black to burgundy to blue, to render the darkened background. Most of these texts are placed in horizontal piles, but occasionally, he has to account for the mismatched sizing by placing books vertically. These moody colors frame the portrait of Van Gogh himself, which Pons creates with a palette of pale yellows, reds, and whites. As a result of his careful placement, the image looks remarkably similar to the Dutch Post-Impressionist from afar. Pons has even made a picture of Martin Luther King Jr. and a c...

A State of Never-Ending Crisis: The Government Is Fomenting Mass Hysteria "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

This country has been having a nationwide nervous breakdown since 9/11. A nation of people suddenly broke, the market economy goes to shit, and theyre threatened on every side by an unknown, sinister enemy. But I dont think fear is a very effective way of dealing with thingsof responding to reality. Fear is just another word for ignorance. Hunter S. Thompson, gonzo journalist

We have become guinea pigs in a ruthlessly calculated, carefully orchestrated, chillingly cold-blooded experiment in how to control a population and advance a political agenda without much opposition from the citizenry.

This is mind-control in its most sinister form. With alarming regularity, the nation is being subjected to a spate of violence that terrorizes the public, destabilizes the country, and gives the government greater justifications to crack down, lock down, and institute even more authoritarian policies for the so-called sake of national security without many objections from the citizenry. Take this latest shooting in Nashville, Tenn. The 28-year-old shooter (a clearly troubled transgender individual in possession of several military-style weapons) opened fire in a Christian elementary school, killing three children and three adults. Already, fingers are being pointed and battle lines are being drawn.

It is expected that at least a third of the worlds population will be able to pass the final 5D exam. Basically, all currently incarnated people have the chance to take part in the 5D exam. Top marks to pass are not required, even the mediocre have a good chance of passing. However, the prerequisite is honesty, sincerity; being open to others and unconditional love for people, animals and nature.   Be happy with your common sense and life, forget the corrupt government as it will soon be removed. Some say money makes you happy, but money only buys material things.   Happiness and real wealth comes from within by e.g. making real things and providing services, which are opposed to debt. This needs no further explanation.   Behind the scenes, the house of cards of the oppressors is crumbling. As a result, more and more of us see the strings the puppets are tying their conductors. These are the supposedly elected politicians; the people now observe how the puppeteers direct and set them, they are no longer hidden in the shadows as before.   ...

Take It Easy, Man: The Philosophies Behind Bitcoin And The Big Lebowski "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Dudeism, a philosophy inspired by The Big Lebowski, shares some core tenants that should intrigue Bitcoiners.

This is an opinion editorial by Hongumart, a frontline healthcare worker.

Inspired by The Dude, the main character of the 1998 movie The Big Lebowski by the Coen Brothers, Dudeism is a way of life, philosophy and religion. The main goal of Dudeism is to apply "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoism">Taoism, an ancient Chinese teaching attributed to Laozi (rising to prominence in the 6th century), combined with ideas from the Greek thinker Epicurus (who lived form 341 to 270 BC), in a manner that reflects the personality of Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski from the film.

Dudeism emphasized the practices of relaxing, keeping calm and taking it easy when faced with life's challenges, guided by a belief that this is the best way to live in harmony with ourselves and others.

Bitcoin is a digital currency that operates on a peer-to-peer network without relying on any intermediary or authority. It was created by an unknown person or group that used the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. The main idea behind Bitcoin is to enable online payments that are direct, secure and independent of any financial institution. Bitcoin is the most popular and widely-used cryptocurrency in the world. It has inspired many other cryptocurrencies that offer different features or use cases. Bitcoin's value and adoption have fluctuated over time, depending on various factors such as regulation, innovation, competition and market sentiment.

Bitcoin and Dudeism are two seemingly unrelated phenomena, but they share some surprising similarities:

  • Both are decentralized and operate peer to peer: Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that operates without a central authority or intermediary, relying on a network of nodes to validate transactions and maintain consensus. Dudeism is a religion that rejects dogma and hierarchy, encouraging its followers to find their own paths and to live in harmony with themselves and others.
  • Both are inspired by cult movies: Bitcoin was created by an anonymous person or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, which, by my estimation, could be a reference to the character Toshiro Mifune in the film Yojimbo. As noted above, Dudeism is based on the philosophy of the protagonist of The Big Lebowski, who embodies the principles of Taoism and Zen Buddhism.
  • Both are adaptable and resilient: Bitcoin is designed...

In 1955, the United States was entering the final stages of McCarthyism or the Second Red Scare. During this low point in American history, the US government looked high and low for Communist spies. Entertainers, educators, government employees and union members were often viewed with suspicion, and many careers and lives were destroyed by the flimsiest of allegations. Congress, the FBI, and the US military, they all fueled encouraging Americans to look for Communists in unsuspecting places.

The History of Ancient Japan: The Story of How Japan Began, Told by Those Who Witnessed It (297-1274) "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Here in the twenty-first century, many of us around the world think of Japan as essentially unchanging. We do so not without cause, given how much of what goes on there, including the operation of certain businesses, has been going on for centuries and centuries. But the political, cultural, religious, economic, and ethnic composition of the civilization weve long known as Japan has, in fact, transformed a great deal over the course of its existence. Some of the most dramatic changes occurred between the third and thirteenth centuries, the span of time covered by the video above.

How Japan Began comes from Voices of the Past, a Youtube channel previously featured here on Open Culture for its videos on a first-hand account of the destruction of Pompeii, an ancient Chinese historians description of the Roman Empire, and how the first Japanese visitor to the United States and Europe saw life there.

Mass shootings in the United States are on the rise, with at least 146 so far this year and as no-one anywhere needs reminding its still only April.

We mention it because of this particular exchange which went viral on Reddit, after David Hogg, one of the founders of March For Our Lives, drew this comparison between Australia and the US.

Someone called Jay Dix, who describes himself as a Retired Detective. Pure Blood, Texan 100%. Armorer of 12 weapon platforms. Weapons/Police tactics instructor Nothing special wasnt happy and its fair to say it didnt end well for him.

Robert Smith Negotiates With Ticketmaster to Cancel Morrissey Tour Dates "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

CRAWLEY, West Sussex The Cure frontman and monopoly-challenging hero Robert Smith negotiated with Ticketmaster to cancel Morrisseys planned U.S. tour, sources relieved to get their money back confirmed.

Its sickening how Morrissey keeps announcing shows with sky-high ticket prices just to storm offstage as soon as his paycheck clears. Worse, sometimes he actually shows up and subjects people to his ignorant drivel, said Smith while looking out the window wistfully on a rainy day. Working with Ticketmaster to cancel his tour prevents fans from getting ripped off, allowing them to see better bands for lower prices. I wish I could do more I wanted to throw in a coupon for Johnny Marr tickets before Ticketmaster threatened to make up the difference with more of their ridiculous fees but Im still glad to give Morrissey a taste of his own medicine.

Morrissey was blindsided by news of Smiths actions upon learning of the cancellation via email.

Canceling shows is one of my favorite activities, so you can imagine my horror upon learning that whinge bag from The Cure colluded with Ticketmaster to pull the plug on my tour before I could, the singer said while angrily putting his shirt back on. The smug bastards even told me of their betrayal with a scathing message about how This is all thanks to Robert Smith. Even my bloody manager is on his side because it saves him from calling the venues himself. I havent been this upset since my local haberdashery started selling leather goods.

Ticketmaster representative Craig Martin was more than happy to fulfill Smiths request.

Its not every day Ticketmaster gets to make a customer happy, let alone earn praise from Robert Smith, Martin admitted while calculating new methods of nickel-and-diming concertgoers. But now we dont owe him any more favors and our PR team gets glowing press for the first time in decades. Its not like we were going to profit off Morrisseys tour dates anyway. Even when he actually shows up, unhappy customers call us to demand their money back. We never get complaints about The Cures performances and we make more than enough from merch cuts to compensate for their low-cost tickets.

At press time, Smith began yet another round of negotiations with his lipstick provider to get a cheaper price if he buys in bulk.

Every The Get Up Kids Albums Ranked "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Before you get into these rankings its important you understand that the worst album from The Get Up Kids is still better than 90% of the other emo bands of the era. The Get Up Kids are on the Mount Rushmore of emo bands, and Im not talking about the Myspace/Hot Topic emo that turned the entire genre into a punchline to be ridiculed by guys named Luke who drive a Jeep and pose for Christmas photos holding various assault rifles. Anyway, lets get into it.

6. On a Wire (2002)

In 2002 The Get Up Kids were riding high. Emo music was about to take over every high school drama department, they had just toured with Weezer (who were still somewhat respectable at the time), and they were flirting with the mainstream. Then they released On a Wire. Its like your favorite team had just won the championship, and then the next season they came back, filled the water jug with liquid shit, and started devouring the diarrhea in front of everyone. Ive lost the thread here, but this album isnt their best.

5. Guilt Show (2004)

This is by no means a bad album, in fact if its the first The Get Up Kids album you ever heard you probably have a fondness for it, but unfortunately youre wrong and you need to understand that. Guilt Show just lacks the special sauce that makes TGUK so replayable. The tempo is a bit too slow, there seems to be a country twang to the whole thing, and for that reason, its low on this official list.

Benjamin Fulford Report: Jews to rebuild temple after defeat of Satanists April 10, 2023 "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Humanity is about to wake from a long and terrible nightmare. An ancient Satanic cult that has terrorized us for millennia is facing final defeat. The Jewish people are planning to celebrate their release from Babylonian slavery by building a new temple. This time it is expected to last forever. A new Golden Age is about to dawn for humanity. That is the big picture behind recent news events. Now that the Satanists have been defeated in Ukraine, a final battle is about to take place to mop up the last major Satanist strongholds in Europe, the US and Asia, multiple sources agree. The biggest event in the war to liberate the planet last week was the French and British Rothschilds throwing the Rockefellers and their fake President Biden under the bus. This was the story behind the visit to China by French slave President Emmanuelle Macron and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. In diplomacy, appearances show who is really in charge. This is why Macron flew on his own Airbus A330 with a group of media, business and cultural figures while von der Leyen was forced to take a 14-hour commercial flight to the capital, complete with a four-hour layover in the Middle East. While in China President Xi Jinping treated von der Leyen in a way that made it a bit humiliating, said one French official, ...

Scientists Baffled by Band Whose Later Stuff Better Than Early Stuff "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

PRINCETON, N.J. Top scientists from around the nation are reportedly perplexed beyond belief upon discovering that the band Touchstone Phones later material miraculously exceeds the quality of their early stuff, disconcerted sources reluctantly confirmed.

It defies all scientific precedent. I feel like Im dreaming. Were so used to a bands early stuff being whats most solid, but to find a group where its the other way around? I had to call a summit immediately, said Princeton research scientist Dr. Desmond Pilsner. We had them play their latest release, to wild applause, and then switch to a few cuts off their debut, which had a lot of the foremost scientific brains in the world rushing to the bathroom to vomit. It was fascinating.

Touchstone Phone members report a palpable disappointment in their earlier work being so dismissed by the countrys greatest minds.

Come on, its not that insane that wed grow as a band. Those eggheads are taking things too far. Plus, our first few albums kick ass, I dont care what they say, asserted primary songwriter Dion Jarmis, from his sterilized laboratory holding cell. And on top of everything, there are tons of examples of bands whose later stuff is better than their early stuff, and once I think of the name of one, Im going to shove it right up their stethoscopes. Man, its gonna be sweet.

Local physician Dr. Francine Frickes identifies with the bands frustration.

I can relate with their struggle, for sure. Im in the same boat, nobody seems to want archaic medical treatment anymore, said Dr. Frickes. They just want the latest stuff, like top of the line x-ray equipment, and pills that actually, yknow, cure things. Goodness, what I wouldnt give to break out the leeches and perform a good ol fashioned blood-letting, or give someone anesthesia via wooden mallet. But, until a retro medicinal craze sweeps the nation, I guess Ill keep playing the latest hits.

Upon release from the lab, Touchstone Phone promptly quit the music business and decided to become chefs who are really good at preparing dinner and horrible at making breakfast.

We Sat Down With That Crazy Guitar Guy From Mad Max: Fury Road and Asked Him Whether He Prefers a Maple or Rosewood Fretboard "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

2015 had a lot to offer. There was that one new Ought album and life hadnt totally gone down the shitter yet. But the cream of the crop had to be Mad Max: Fury Road. Eight years later and there are still so many unanswered questions about the stunt performances. Luckily, we were able to sit down with the guitar guy and asked him to reveal all his secrets for his gnarly tone.

The Hard Times: First and foremost, its truly an honor to sit down with you. I mean, when someone thinks of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), they think of the crazy guitar guy. So, whats it like being the crazy guitar guy?
Crazy Guitar Guy: Well, my names Coma the Doof Warrior so Id appreciate it if youd jot that down for the record. People love me when Im laying down a sick riff but whenever they ask for the crazy guitar guy, everyone thinks they mean Eric Clapton.

I could see why thats a problem but youve gotta be a mainstream artist at least in the wasteland. Do you make enough to make a living?
I suppose so, but that rat fuck Immortan Joe is always asking for a cut. First, he wanted access to all the water in the aquifer and I said sure. Now, hes forcing me to give up 70% of my profit for business expenses even though I know hes spending it on that white powder shit.

Well, how about we talk a little about your setup? Guitar nerds across the universe have bickered back and forth on this forever, so I gotta know. Maple or rosewood?
Thats easy, its maple. Have you ever been on top of the Doof Wagon zooming across a desert and tried using rosewood? Yeah, good luck with that buddy. Have fun playing Yo La Tengo with your guitar for two hours before it fucking withers away.

Really? Dont you think maple is a bit tougher on the hands?
Listen, pal. Theres not a single bottle of lotion left in the wasteland. My hands are a lost cause.

It sounds like the wasteland is unforgiving. I imagine your tuning setup has to be sturdy.
I have to use spark plugs as tuning machines because itll be a cold day in Valhalla before I use one of those non-locking Squier pegs. But still, the strings dont hold a tune for long, especially since I have to reach my quota on the whole whammy bar flamethrower thing.

You know, I heard a story that you actually lost both your eyes due to your guitar strings snapping.
No, you asshole, I am actually blind from birth. Thats it, one more dogshit question and Im leaving.

Well, have you ever considered playing an acoustic set for the war party?
No one has ever heard a soft folk song and wanted to run over somebody, so fuck you. Im leaving now, I gotta go blow the sand out of my amps before the next battle.

We were going to say we hoped this particular telephone company executive also did the lottery, but there werent many of them around in 1953.

But his gift of foresight was quite something, as evidenced by his thoughts on the future of the humble telephone in a newspaper clipping thats just gone viral on Reddit.

And the headline writer really nailed it.

Ring any bells?

The history of mobile phones goes back to 1908 when a US Patent was issued in Kentucky for a wireless telephone

Nikola Tesla, 1926:

When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance.

Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do this will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone.

Confused About MRNA Vaccines in Meat? Thats Exactly How They Want It. "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Rumors have been circulating about mRNA vaccines in livestock.  Fact-checkers have been scoffing, but whats really going on?  Could we be eating animals that have been treated with mRNA?  How do we know whats in the meat at our grocery store?  

PORK: Yes, its probably been treated with mRNA.

Unfortunately, if youve been eating pork from the grocery stores, even organic pork, its probably been treated with mRNA because pork producers have been using mRNA products since 2018.  Mercks SEQUIVITY platform is used with different sequences of various porcine diseases, including swine flu, to get immune responses in pigs.

Interestingly enough, sow mortality rates have increased slightly, from 11.1% in 2017 to 12.6% in 2021.  However, raising animals in large quantities is very complex; increased mortality could be linked to countless factors, and many producers admit they dont have enough qualified employees to pay optimal attention to animals.   The only certainty here is, new pharmaceutical products have not been a magic bullet for the pork industrys problems.

I guess we, as a society, dont have enough money for more agricultural and veterinary workers so that hog farmers can optimally monitor the pigs that will become our food.  And yet, its still full steam ahead with ever-more-complicated bioengineering solutions.  A few months ago, GenVax Technologies, a startup that wants to bring self-amplifying mRNA (saRNA) technologies to animal health, received $6.5 million to begin producing vaccines 100% specific to African Swine Fever variants that may be circulating in pork herds.  There always seems to be enough money for mRNA.

Sound familiar?

If this sounds similar to a product widely used on humans the past few years, thats because it is.  As in human mRNA treatments, Merck claims that the RNA cant replicate itself and only lasts a short time...

As Donald Trump readies himself for another possible crack at the White House, perhaps one of his slogans should be about building a second wall, or building a first wall and doing it properly this time. Or maybe just take down the wall and think of something else.

Because whatever it was he built as president is just as effective as people always said it would be. Although it has to be said, these guys efforts at getting over are mightily impressive.

14 Accused of Terrorism in Trial Over French Teacher's Beheading "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

More than two years after an Islamic extremist murdered and beheaded a French secondary school teacher in October 2020, French prosecutors sought to convict 14 suspects related to the crime. This incident shocked France and the world.

Authorities recommended charging two of the murder suspects friends with being complicit in a terrorist murder, the most severe accusation against the defendants.

Frances national terror crime prosecutors office has also recommended charging six adults and six children for alleged offenses connected to the killing of French secondary school teacher Samuel Paty in the Paris suburb of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine.

A history and geography teacher, 47-year-old Samuel Paty, was stabbed and decapitated on October 16, 2020, near his school by an 18-year-old Chechen refugee named Abdoullakh Anzorov.

The murder suspect was shot on the scene by French authorities during a confrontation. The crime occurred after Anzorov, unrelated to either Paty or the school he worked with, saw a video about the teacher showing a civics class cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that were published by the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

During his ethics class, Paty used the magazine as lesson material when discussing free speech laws in France, which dont criminalize blasphemy.

The killing came as the country was still recovering from the wounds inflicted by a similar Islamist attack when two French Islamist terrorists attacked Charlie Hebdos office in Paris, killing some of the staff, including editors of the controversial newspaper.

Dalai Lama Faces Backlash Over Video Asking Child to Suck His Tongue "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

The Dalai Lama sparked backlash after a video of him kissing a boy and asking him to suck my tongue at an event in Northern India went viral.

The religious leader issued an apology through a statement published by his office last Monday. In the statement, the Dalai Lama said he wishes to apologize to the boy and his family, as well as his many friends across the world, for the hurt his words may have caused, adding that he regrets what he did.

His Holiness often teases people he meets in an innocent and playful way, even in public and before cameras, the statement added.

The Dalai Lamas apology came after netizens criticized his actions when a video showing the exchange between the child and the Buddhist leader went viral.

The incident occurred during an event organized last February by the M3M Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Indian real estate company M3M Group, based in the hillside city of Dharamshala, where the Dalai Lama lives in permanent exile.

The viral video showed the young Indian boy approaching the 87-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner before asking if he could hug him.

Republican state representatives Lauren McDonald and Todd Jones passed the resolution in the House of Representatives. They represent Forsyth County in the Atlanta suburbs, home to some of Georgia's biggest Hindu and Indian-American communities.

The resolution started by stating that Hinduism is one of the worlds biggest and oldest religions, with about 1.2 billion adherents, practiced in around 100 countries and composed of diverse traditions and beliefs with values of mutual respect, acceptance, and peace.
