Europe Extends Its Coronavirus “Disinformation” Surveillance Campaign Another Six Months
🇪🇺@COVID19Up: The European Commission has announced an extension of its coronavirus “disinformation” monitoring program for another six months, to June 2022.
Values and Transparency Vice President Věra Jourová said: “The pandemic is not over yet, this is why we want platforms to intensify efforts in addressing COVID-19 disinformation, including on vaccines and in all EU languages. We also expect the platforms to translate lessons learned from the COVID monitoring program into a stronger monitoring framework for the new anti-disinformation Code.”
According to the reports about actions taken by social media platforms between September and October, Facebook updated its worldwide COVID-19 policies to include vaccinations for kids. Claims that vaccines for kids do not exist, are untested or unsafe are not allowed.
Twitter also updated its “misleading” information about vaccines policy.
YouTube expanded its medical misinformation guidelines to include claims that contradict consensus by the WHO and local health authorities.
TikTok increased the keywords and hashtags that can return tags and banners about COVID-19 vaccines.
Additionally, Microsoft’s LinkedIn increased collaboration with influencers in Europe to spread “credible” information about the vaccines.

Hello Team! I am on the road towards taking back my tech with a new laptop with a Linux OS system on it, looking in to getting some spec recommendations for running open source software, mining Monero etc.
Anyone recommend anything in particular, appreciate the help in advance! 🙏🏽

Very good choice. I run 4 of the Thinkpad X220 i7 mil standard laptops, including QubesOS. Lenovo Thinkpad X270 and T480 are good second hand choices too. Avoid consumer laptops, they fall apart after the warranty runs out. Go professional, like Thinkpads.
Want to SEE the future? 🔮 Develop your psychic abilities this weekend with this cool app.

I recently had the luck of connecting with the awesome couple behind SEE, an app that helps you practice remote viewing. For those of you that don't know, Remote Viewing is a biophysical phenomenon that allows practitioners to expand perception outside the body. It has been studied extensively by world governments, intelligence agencies, and the military!
I've always had a natural interest in psychic abilities, so when I heard about SEE, I knew I had to try it. SEE works by having you 'view' an unknown image. First you relax, then you tap into what the image or symbol might be, and then you draw whatever comes to your mind. When you're done drawing - the app collects an image at random. In a way, you're predicting or affecting future events.
The next image will be my first two 'reads':
The app is only currently available through the Google Play Store, but the team has let me know they accept crypto if you reach out to: beseen@canyousee.net

We are happy to announce that we will be speaking at The Greater Reset in January, a gathering of freedom-focused solution providers. Not to be confused with "The Great Reset", which is Klaus Schwab's technocratic agenda. Please spread the word about the conference, as there will be many topics covered that people can benefit from, ranging from food growing, leadership skills, and of course, freedom-enhancing technology!

We are excited to announce that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be speaking at The Greater Reset 3: Integration on Day 1: Liberate Your Mind, Body, and Soul! Mr. Kennedy will be speaking virtually!
He is the founder, chairman of the board and chief legal counsel for Children’s Health Defense. He is also counsel to Morgan & Morgan, a nationwide personal injury practice. Kennedy is an esteemed author, with a long list of published books including the New York Times’ bestseller, “Crimes Against Nature.” Mr. Kennedy was named one of Time magazine’s “Heroes for the Planet” for his success helping Riverkeeper lead the fight to restore the Hudson River. His reputation as a resolute defender of the environment and children’s health stems from a litany of successful legal actions. He received recognition for his role in the landmark victory against Monsanto last year, as well as in the DuPont Case that inspired the movie “Dark Waters” (2019).

Announcing TGR III: Activation Hubs, Changing The World Through Local Organization 🌎
—
https://thegreaterreset.org/hubs/
We’ve learned through producing countless conferences, tours, and events around the world that people everywhere have the will & capacity to change their local towns. This year we’ll provide you a blueprint for creating an ‘Activation Hub’ in your hometown. From this hub, you’ll be the one to start a positive social movement in your local area.
What is an Activation Hub?
Activation Hubs are autonomous events that are planned by YOU and your community. They can take any form or size, as simple as inviting your friends & family over to watch the event, or expansive as taking place at a local venue, with various activities scheduled throughout like markets, food shares, workshops, and activism.
When should I plan them?
Plan your hub around and during the 5 Days Of The Greater Reset (Jan 26 - 30th, 2022). You can center your activities around watching the live streams, which play from 3 PM - 7 PM (UTC-6).
Why should I start a hub?
The hub is designed to connect communities together, forming parallel systems, markets, and leaders who organize them. You will work with people in your community to put this event together. You will get to know the business owners, food producers, skilled creators, activists, and promoters. Together you'll be able to plan meaningful activities like garden days, community service, meditations, and workshops. You will begin to transform your town if you market your event outside of your circles, using The Greater Reset designs (which will be provided) to print out flyers/stickers that can be spread around town. This will bring followers & customers to your event and the organizations involved. Relationships will be built that sustain your community and its independent projects in the future.
The Program
- The official program page can be found at: https://thegreaterreset.org/hubs/
- You can register your hub on the website and we will place it on a map of the world and a searchable hubs database. (to be released)
- We will release flyers/sticker design templates that local hubs can customize and use to market their events.
- Let us know in your submission what activities you would like to plan, and your contact email.
- Closer to the event we will check in with you to see how your planning is going. We will invite all the hubs to join us on a private call during The Greater Reset.
- We will invite hubs to speak live on stream every day of The Greater Reset, share your projects with the world!
10 STEPS TO CREATE YOUR HUB (from simple to advanced)
1. Invite some friends over to watch The Greater Reset
2. Have guests bring organic vegetables, cook together, trade seeds, and do a garden project.
3. Partner with a local organization or Freedom Cell, collaborate on planning the event and activities.
4. Reach out to a local business owner to secure a venue. Reach out to local vendors to sell their goods at your event.
5. Gather emails & contact information to stay in touch
6. Print out flyers and stickers promoting your event, spread the word in your local area with your team.
7. Perform a group meditation, counseling, discussion, or healing session at your event.
8. Create a website or event page. Design a graphic and have your group spread it on social media. Make sure to have date/time, contact info, and outlined activities.
9. Bring in local educators to teach workshop and classes
10. Form a local Freedom Cell or another independent community organization. Continue to have meeting and events indefinitely into the future, creating positive change!
We can't wait to see your different hubs represented and hear how you are changing the world! Peace and love ❤️

American computer programmer Dennis Ritchie was a co-inventor of the Unix Operating system. Dennis also invented the "C" programming language. He is one of the most celebrated computer scientists of our time.
Although Dennis did earn degrees in math and physics, he said his most most important education was handed down at home from his father, Alistair E. Ritchie, a career scientist at Bell Labs.
That's right. Dennis Ritchie, mega programmer, co-inventor of UNIX and C, 1983 receipient of the prestigious Turing Award for computing, credited his most important education to home schooling from his Dad.

Thanks for the feedback. Have observed some _interesting_ patterns with cell service here, that has been escalating since, perhaps mid-2019. Just trying to get a handle on where things are heading, and if it's local or global. :/

I could be wrong, but increasing frequency (transition to LTE) might be to blame. Ambient temperature does play a role in signal distance. The higher the frequency, the less probable it is to bounce off ionospheric layers. Telcos have been gradually increasing frequency from MHz now to GHz with 5G.

How does atmospheric temperature affect radio signals?
Answer (1 of 5): There is an interesting effect caused by atmospheric temperature *differences*.
It regards line-of-sight propagation of frequencies above 30MHz and up to 3–4GHz on extremes.
Normally air density is a function of temperature with negative…

Received an email from Google this morning threatening to remove Flote from the Google Play Store unless we start censoring our users.
We knew this day was coming for over a year now, which is why we built an APK that is available on our website. It has been very obvious with their track record with banning Infowars, Gab, Parler and I'm sure others over the years that Google repeatedly stands in the way and restricts free speech. We will not be told how to run our company by tyrants, period.
