Escaping the Facebook Panopticon is easier said than done

Facebook tracking is present in 41% of the most popular Android apps

In response to several privacy blunders, netizens are flocking to #DeleteFacebook.

But research from #AdGuard suggests that escaping the #Zuckerberg panopticon is easier said than done, as Facebook-built tracking software exists in a staggering number of apps.

Facebook Audience Network is a tool used by developers, and included in many apps.

It exists in two halves; first, as an advertising network, allowing developers to make money, and secondly as an analytics tool, offering insights on user behavior and demographics.

Crucially, this works regardless of whether you’ve got a Facebook account or not.

The Myth of the ‘Asymptomatic Spreader’

The Myth of the #Asymptomatic Spreader’ Dealt Another Blow This Week


Recently in the UK, officials have staged and monitored nine large-scale events, including an FA Cup final football match, and the Brit Awards – both of which were exempt from the usual COVID rules.

The results of this test should be hailed as good news, but for those heavily invested in the narrative, it’s nothing short of a meltdown: little to no coronavirus “cases” turned up.

Officials managed to scrape together just 15 alleged “cases” or “infections” (deemed as such merely from a single ‘positive test’) out of some 60,000 total attendees.

The result of this experiment has dealt a crushing blow to the central myth upon which the entire COVID-19 ‘global pandemic’ crisis has been built – namely the myth of the asymptomatic spread, and the much-maligned notorious “super-spreader” events.

John Dolan/War Nerd

US and UK media have been proudly announcing how tough they are because they curreny have a 17-ship Naval flotilla sailing in the South China Sea.

But such bravado is ludicrous, because those ships are nothing but very very expensive floating targets for Chinese AntiShip Missiles like the Dong Feng 21

---------

THE WAR NERD: THIS IS HOW THE CARRIERS WILL DIE (UPDATED VERSION)

I’ve been saying for a long time that aircraft carriers are just history’s most expensive floating targets, and that they were doomed.

But now I can tell you exactly how they’re going to die. I’ve just read one of the most shocking stories in years.

It comes from the US Naval Institute, not exactly an alarmist or anti-Navy source. And what it says is that the US carrier group is scrap metal.

The #Chinese military has developed a ballistic missile, Dong Feng 21, specifically designed to kill US aircraft carriers:

“Because the missile employs a complex guidance system, low radar signature and a maneuverability that makes its flight path unpredictable, the odds that it can evade tracking systems to reach its target are increased. It is estimated that the missile can travel at mach 10 and reach its maximum range of 2000km in less than 12 minutes.”

That’s the US Naval Institute talking, remember.

They’re understating the case when they say that, with speed, satellite guidance and maneuverability like that, “the odds that it can evade tracking systems to reach its target are increased.

You know why that’s an understatement?


Because of a short little sentence I found farther on in the article—and before you read that sentence, I want all you trusting Pentagon groupies to promise me that you’ll think hard about what it implies.

Here’s the sentence: “Ships currently have no defense against a ballistic missile attack".

China / Evergrande / Debt

Three More Companies in #China Join #Evergrande – Unable to Meet Debt Obligations – Total Debt of Nearly Half a Trillion USD Facing Solvency Issues in China

Today we can report that the Evergrande situation is spreading.

A company by the name of Jumbo Fortune had a $260 million note coming due on October 3, 2021, that it says was backed by Evergrande.

However, #Evergrande apparently didn’t record this liability on its books. We have no word that this has yet been settled.

Earlier this morning two other companies in the China real estate business were identified in situations just like #Evergrande.

CNBC reports on Fantasia Holdings:

Ratings agencies have downgraded Chinese developers Fantasia Holdings and Sinic Holdings over risks from their strained cash flow situations.........

The total debt of the companies above amounts to more than $400 billion or nearly half a trillion USD and this is just the beginning

Azerbaijan and Iran

Why is There Now a Crisis in Relations Between #Azerbaijan and #Iran

Recent weeks have seen a significant military escalation on the border between Azerbaijan and Iran. With belligerent statements made by both sides, Iranian troops are being transferred to the border with their northern neighbor. Explaining the move, Brigadier-General Mohammad Pakpour, commander of the Ground Forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), said: “We will not tolerate the presence of Israel in our back yard.”

Azerbaijan’s relations with Israel are indeed a constant irritation and tension to Iran, which is, in effect, in a state of undeclared war with Israel. Iran is frankly afraid that Israel will establish an outpost on its northern border, which will serve as a base for intelligence and special operations such as the drone attack in which Iranian General Qasem Soleimani was assassinated on January 3, 2020. With that attack in mind, Tehran has been particularly closely monitoring Azerbaijani troops’ use of Israeli-made drones, missiles, anti-tank missile systems and other weapons during last year’s war in Nagorno-Karabakh.

“The relations between Azerbaijan and Israel are much deeper that they appear, like an iceberg, most of which is hidden from prying eyes.” These words of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev were contained in a telegram sent from the US Embassy in Baku to Washington, and became widely known following their publication by Wikileaks. The high level links between Azerbaijan and Israel – the two countries have exchanged visits by senior officials – are based on geopolitical and economic factors

Putin Talks About Energy

For anyone wondering why energy
prices have risen so sharply over the last few weeks Russian President Vladimir #Putin provided a reasonable explanation when he addressed the #energy issue in a video conference.

His comments provide an interesting (and IMHO: more plausible) alternative to the usual Media accusations of manipulation by #Russia of energy markets :

"Now, the world economy is recovering well after the past year’s crisis. The demand for energy is growing and, hence, prices are soaring.

"As you know, the global energy market does not tolerate hectic moves and vagaries. Investment plans in this area are long-term. Therefore, any abrupt and rash actions may lead, and, judging by the current market situation, are already leading to serious imbalances like those we are seeing in the European market that has been affected this year by several unfavourable factors all at once.

"First, the rapid post-crisis recovery of the economy has 'heated up' the energy demand.

"Second, gas reserves in many European countries’ underground storage facilities dwindled as a result of the harsh winter in early 2021. I am referring precisely to their underground gas storage facilities, the underground storage facilities of our European partners.

"Third, the production of wind energy declined noticeably later in the summer because of hot and windless weather. It should also be taken into consideration that the energy balance has changed dramatically in Europe over the past ten years.

Many countries in the region have given up their coal-burning and nuclear power plants in favour of wind power generation that is heavily dependent on weather conditions.

"And, finally, fourth, the practices of our European partners [are to blame].

These practices have reaffirmed that, properly speaking, they have made mistakes. We were talking with the former European Commission; all of its activities were aimed at curtailing the so-called long-term contracts and at transitioning to gas exchange trading.

"It turned out – and today this is absolutely obvious – that this policy is erroneous, erroneous for the reason that it fails to take into account the gas market specifics dependent on a large number of uncertainty factors.

Consumers, including, for example, fertiliser producers, are losing all price benchmarks. All of this is leading to failures and, as I said, imbalances.

"As a result, the gas price has broken all historical records. Today it is approaching $2,000 per thousand cubic metres of gas, which is over ten times last year’s average price. "

The War on Cash


Programmable #Digital #Currency”: The next stage of the new normal?The war on cash’s endgame is here: money replaced by vouchers subject to complete state control.

Building on the #bitcoin model, central banks are planning to produce their own “digital currencies”. Removing any and all remaining #privacy, granting total control over every transaction, even limiting what ordinary people are allowed to spend their money on.

From the moment bitcoin and other #cryptocurrencies first emerged, sold as an independent and alternative medium of exchange outside the financial status quo, it was only a matter of time before the new alternative would be absorbed, modified and redeployed in service of the state.

Enter “Central Bank Digital Currencies”: the mainstream answer to bitcoin.

For those who have never heard of them, “Central Bank Digital Currencies” ( #CBDC ) are exactly what they sound like, digitized versions of the pound/dollar/euro etc. issued by central banks.

Like bitcoin (and other crypto), the CBDC would be entirely digital, thus furthering the ongoing war on cash. However, unlike crypto, it would not have any encryption preserving anonymity. In fact, it would be totally the reverse, potentially ending the very idea of financial privacy.

German elections:

SPD, Greens & FDP in talks to form next Govt

The Greens, who are seen as closer ideologically to Mr Scholz's SPD, were first out of the blocks on Wednesday, saying that a centre-left-led coalition made most sense.

Co-leader Annalena Baerbock told reporters that Germany needed "a new beginning" and could ill afford a long period of political stalemate.

The Greens said significant differences had to be addressed but they had found common ground with the pro-business liberals.

Later in the morning the head of the FDP, Christian Lindner, announced the party had accepted a proposal for three-way talks with the Greens and the SPD to "explore common ground that will move our country forward".

Reuters ( https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/exclusive-under-us-sanctions-iran-venezuela-strike-oil-export-deal-sources-2021-09-25/) had a piece, but it focused on the likelihood of U.S. #sanctions rather than on what this development means in geopolitical terms. On the latter topic, nothing. "
