What can we learn from Byzantine diplomacy?
Today, the word ‘byzantine’ is used to describe devious actions: intrigue, plotting, and bribing. Historical records show that Byzantine politics were morally neither worse nor better than politics in previous or later years.
...
Byzantine diplomacy absorbed the following practices of the ancient civilisations:
From Mesopotamia and Egypt: elaborate protocol and ceremonies, dynastic marriage to cement an alliance, trade diplomacy by merchant-ambassadors.
From Greece: use of rhetoric as a tool of public diplomacy (although Byzantine envoys relied far less on oratory than those despatched by the Greek city states).
From Rome: divide and conquer tactics, the first development assistance in the form of great civil engineering projects.

Byzantine Generals’ problem
The concept of Byzantine Fault Tolerance is derived from the Byzantine Generals’ problem which was explained in 1982, by Leslie Lamport, Robert Shostak and Marshall Please in a paper at Microsoft Research.
Imagine that several divisions of the Byzantine army are camped outside an enemy city, each division commanded by its own general. The generals can communicate with one another only by messenger. After observing the enemy, they must decide upon a common plan of action. However, some of the generals may be traitors, trying to prevent the loyal generals from reaching an agreement. The generals must decide on when to attack the city, but they need a strong majority of their army to attack at the same time. The generals must have an algorithm to guarantee that (a) all loyal generals decide upon the same plan of action, and (b) a small number of traitors cannot cause the loyal generals to adopt a bad plan. The loyal generals will all do what the algorithm says they should, but the traitors may do anything they wish. The algorithm must guarantee condition (a) regardless of what the traitors do. The loyal generals should not only reach agreement, but should agree upon a reasonable plan.
...
A Byzantine node is the tyrant node which can lie or intentionally mislead other nodes of the network, and also the nodes which are involved in a consensus protocol. As such the protocol should rise above the illicit intervention by the malicious nodes and should operate perfectly, despite these Byzantine nodes.
Got that?

Byzantine Politics | Daily Scribbling
Irene forced the official oath of loyalty to thereafter include a pledge of loyalty to herself alone, but this was too much for the army, who declared Constantine as sole ruler. Irene’s power was sufficient that Constantine could not dislodge her, and she gradually formed enough of a power base that he was forced to flee the capital. Unfortunately for him, his attendants turned out to be in the pay of the Empress, and he was seized and blinded. Blinding was a common tactic in Byzantine politics, as a way to leave an opponent no longer a threat without taking on the sin or consequences of outright murder. In the case of poor Constantine however, it was an academic distinction as the wounds festered and he died several days later. Irene then reigned as sole ruler of the Byzantine Empire for five years, although she was not recognised as a valid ruler by many, including Pope Leo. The Pope claimed that this meant that the seat of Roman Emperor was vacant and crowned Charlemagne (allegedly against his wishes) as Roman Emperor, leading to the “Holy Roman Empire” appearing on the European stage. Irene, never one to miss a trick, sent a proposal of marriage to Charlemagne. His reply is not known. Finally, in 802 the nobles and eunuchs of the court had had enough. They de-throned Irene and raised the finance minister, another Nikephoros, up in her place. He forced her into exile, where she died a year later. He would reign for eight years, before dying in battle against the Bulgars and having his skull made into a drinking cup. One gets the feeling that Irene would have approved.

Full analysis: Vaccines confirmed to be efficient extermination weapons… all human beings have the right to resist in self-defense – NaturalNews.com
Monday, May 24, 2021
by: Mike Adams
(Natural News) Starting from today, the Situation Update podcast is being released in separate parts, and then also as a “full” show containing all the parts. This is based on listener feedback, as many listeners told us they wanted to make sure they don’t miss the parts of the show that are of greatest interest to them (such as the economy, or vaccines, or nutrition, etc.).
So from here forward, Part 1 should be live and posted around 10 am central, and it will typically feature analysis of the biggest and most insane headlines of the day. Part 2 will appear around 11 am central and may cover economics, culture or politics. Part 3 will go live somewhere around noon, and it will often feature analysis on the plandemic and vaccines. Part 4 will typically get posted by 1pm central and could feature any breaking story that deserves special emphasis. The full show will then get posted typically between 2pm and 3pm.
Based on the news cycle, there will be between 2 and 4 parts each day, with each part having a duration from 15 minutes to 45 minutes. This is all organic, so it may change based on the news that’s breaking and how much commentary is needed to offer a full analysis of the breaking news.
Here are the 4 parts for today, followed by the FULL episode

Doctors Claim A Cocktail Of Cheap Drugs Could Help India Extinguish COVID Crisis | ZeroHedge
SATURDAY, MAY 22, 2021 - 09:00 PM
The two main drugs cited by the doctors, ivermectin and fluvoxamine, have proven effective, and anecdotal unpublished data from more than 400 acutely ill COVID-19 patients suggests that prescribing fluvoxamine and ivermectin together may be even more efficacious.
While daily case numbers have retreated from the peak in India, hospitalizations and mortality remain near all-time highs. Of course, as developing nations fight to waive IP protections for COVID vaccines, the notion that cheap existing drugs might be effective at combating COVID would represent yet another threat to Big Pharma's bottom line.

Oxford Secretly Used Millions Of Patients' Cell Phone Data For Vaccine 'Mobility Study' | ZeroHedge
MONDAY, MAY 24, 2021 - 09:02 AM
The massive study involved scientists digging through cell phone records for 10% of the British population in February to single out a group of roughly 4,250 who were monitored more closely for insights about vaccination's impact on individual lifestyle.
...
A government spokesperson insisted the data had been properly anonymized and that it was collected "at cell tower rather than individual level" and had been properly "anonymized." Researchers also received approval from Oxford. Still, privacy group Big Brother Watch says the findings are "deeply chilling and extremely damaging to public trust in medical confidentiality."
"Between looming Covid passports and vaccine phone surveillance, this Government is turning Britain into a Big Brother state under the cover of COVID," the group added.
...
Pro-data privacy campaigners have repeatedly warned about contact-tracing and other medical apps that were developed during the pandemic and their potential to result in lasting data abuses.

Global shortages, price spikes, mismanagement, and more are all part of a “plan”
The economic crisis (and it is a crisis) is not simply a matter of corruption or short-sighted politicians. The fact is this is one step of many in an agenda that hatched long ago. It is a plan in which the bottom 99% of the world’s population lives under a complete tyranny with virtually no comforts. Their basic needs met by a government-controlled UBI payment controlled by cashless credits that can be cut off at the first sign of dissent.
This is what the Great Reset is all about. The failures of Free Trade combined with the coming Great Reset will make humanity wish they had given their all to defend their freedom.
We still have the chance to do so. Instead of sheepishly giving away our freedom out of fear and conformity, it’s time to step up.
How are you preparing for the everything shortage?
Are you producing more? Are you adapting to live with fewer choices? Do you have plans to produce more? Have you established a trusted barter network?

The Disintegrated States of America
Andrei Martyanov's new book on imperial decline features a devastating indictment of US political mediocrity
By PEPE ESCOBAR
MAY 21, 2021
In the end, a cool scientific intellect cannot but rely on sound realpolitik: assuming the US avoids complete disintegration into “separatist territories”, Martyanov stresses that the only way for the American “elite” to maintain any kind of control “over generations increasingly woke or desensitized by drugs” is through tyranny.
Actually techno-tyranny.
And that seems to be the brave new dysfunctional paradigm further on down the road.

I’m not interested in being one more person on the internet claiming to know exactly what’s going on with all this, but I do know there’s an exactly zero percent chance that all this is coming out into the mainstream spotlight because the US war machine suddenly decided that the public has a right to know about a potentially dangerous security threat. The Pentagon did not spontaneously evolve an interest in radical transparency, and it is not coincidental that this is happening as we hurtle into a new multi-front cold war and an accompanying race to weaponize space.

“Like an avalanche, the demographic forces — pushing toward more deaths than births — seem to be expanding and accelerating,” states the piece, adding, “Demographers now predict that by the latter half of the century or possibly earlier, the global population will enter a sustained decline for the first time.”
Nowhere in the lengthy article is it mentioned that there could be cultural or environmental factors causing the drop in birth rates or anything beyond prosaic economic factors.

Saving Civilization, by Robert Gore | STRAIGHT LINE LOGIC
Posted on May 23, 2021
Governments produce nothing, they mostly destroy. The U.S. government is destroying itself and the nation with debt, confiscatory taxation, redistribution, corruption, a blizzard of laws and regulations, and maintaining a crumbling global empire in the face of challenges from Russia and China.
Government of the savages, by the savages, and for the savages doesn’t have much to draw on, and decades of propaganda have told savages to look to the government for every need. Vegetarian stew in every pot, two Teslas in every garage, paid for diplomas on every wall, a band-aid for every scratch, and a kiss for every boo-boo are just the minimum of what they’ve been told to expect. If they don’t get them it’s the selfish civilized’s fault. But who will they blame when the selfish civilized skip town or quit? And who will feed them?
The separatists will have the productive capabilities. Many of the country’s honest entrepreneurs (as opposed to its crony socialists) have already migrated. They will also have military expertise, especially after the savages eliminate retrograde rightwingerism and transform the US military into the most diverse, empathetic, and politically correct conflict resolution force the world has ever seen. (Oh, how the world trembles!) Notwithstanding the many thanks they’ve received for their service to the savages’ government, many veterans will join the civilized.
