The World Of DATA Is An Illusion
Posted by M. C. on July 7, 2023
According to who? Are there really 8 billion humans? Who tells us this? The same people who tell us algorithmic and data lies all day long. The same people who declare at the end of every statistic that the number is an ‘estimate’. Remember when the Data experts declared they would no longer count CoVid cases? They never did count them – Covid data was assimilated by; Wikipedia, NYT, Johns Hopkins, Facebook, Google and various analytics…, including Bill Gates IHME.
The World Of Data IS An Illusion.
HELENA
The Nationalist Voice
The Job Market is showing signs of cratering. Real People – not a Matrix Algorithm – but real people are being laid off in hordes. The Tech market leading the bandwagon is claiming their layoff reaction is due to ‘inflation’. The claim is that during the online Pandemic panic tech firms over-hired. Now they are cleaning slate of superfluous employees, particularly highly qualified ones… Illogical? Absolutely. Yet that is the narrative.
Of the $525 or $700 or $800 billion doled out in PPP Loans, the vast majority of the funds went to the Largest Corporations representing just 5% of businesses. In other words, the PPP Loans which were created to go to small businesses – didn’t. Tech companies were some of the biggest beneficiaries. Revenue took a hit between 2021 vs 2022, yet when compared to 2019 – the spikes were higher by 60%, 80%, and double.
A Subsidy. A Scam. What happened to $800 BILLION?
For Example: META’s income between 2019 and 2022 rose 66%.
Media 2022 – META shares take a 20% DIVE! Media Jan. 2023 – META shares soar 20%. As though it was ‘engineered’. Between 2021 and 2022, Google/Alphabet added 34,000 jobs – an increase of 22%. Same period – profits tanked. For both companies, pretax income in 2021 was stellar. Alphabet’s income in 2021 more than doubled over 2019. It’s revenue to date has risen over $100 billion.
These are not causes for layoffs.
Where are the layoffs coming from?
Many of the tech layoffs are from obscure companies located predominantly in New York and California ~ according to tech-crunch. 212,294 in 2023 so far, and 164,709 in 2022. Shopify declared their layoffs were “due to a need to be more efficient now that the stable economic boom times were over…” Dropbox claimed that their layoffs are due to slowing growth and ‘investments that are no longer sustainable’. META claims it is restructuring. Yahoo also says it is restructuring.
A closer look reveals these companies have been buying back shares since 2019 while incurring debt.
Who benefits from the share buybacks? The same trio: BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street. Fink, Buckley and O’Hanley are the respective CEO’s of these three giants. They Control and Dictate the market, the price of shares, the buys and sells, the media press releases, the news, etc…
The economy is virtually an illusion. White House press briefings continually spike false information to dispel notions that America is in a decline. A monopoly game with fake money. Because in reality, the West ran out of money long ago and has been peddling the shell game for a decade or more.
Example: Germany just announced the purchase of 60 Chinook helicopters from Boeing for a price tag of $7.8 billion. Germany is in the midst of a recession. To pay for the deficit spending, Germany has announced they will borrow an additional $18+ billion in 2024. High unemployment, high inflation, packing on more debt, Germany is simply another Matrix of reality.
Does the US even have ‘gold reserves’ or is that another false piece of data? How Deep Is The MATRIX?
As I noted above there are 3+ accounts on how much PPP loans were distributed. Different media = different facts. Facts are created opinions. Money is allocated – and suddenly it cannot be accounted for. Ukraine aid? The infamous Pentagon Paper Caper wherein they had lost $3 trillion before 9-11. Remember the $1.2 TRILLION infrastructure bill? It was labeled The Bipartisan Infrastructure and Jobs Act. Yet bridges are collapsing, trains derailing and jobs are lost.
Where’s The Beef?

Meta Launches Data-Harvesting Twitter Clone, Immediately Starts Censoring
Posted by M. C. on July 7, 2023
As journalist Michael Shellenberger notes,
Within a few hours of launching, Threads was already secretly censoring users and not offering them the right to appeal.
That crazy guy Zuck, at it again!

Meta claims that over 10 million people had signed up for its Twitter competitor, Threads, in what CEO Mark Zuckerberg framed as a “friendly” alternative to the little blue bird.
“Let’s do this. Welcome to Threads,” wrote Zuckerberg in his first post on the app, which is a “text-based conversation app” where users can publish posts up to 500 characters long, and allows people to post links, photos and videos.
Threads is directly linked to Meta-owned Instagram, which has over 2 billion users. The Twitter competitor is being rolled out in over 100 countries for iOS and Android.
“The goal is to keep it friendly as it expands. I think it’s possible and will ultimately be the key to its success,” wrote Zuckerberg in a Wednesday post, casting the service as a more wholesome substitute to Twitter. “That’s one reason why Twitter never succeeded as much as I think it should have, and we want to do it differently.”
Meanwhile, data privacy and censorship concerns have emerged, with former Twitter owner Jack Dorsey highlighting the vast amount of data collected by Threads.
As journalist Michael Shellenberger notes,
Within a few hours of launching, Threads was already secretly censoring users and not offering them the right to appeal.
…
Meta is already too powerful. One company controls what much of the public is allowed to see. And if Threads succeeds, it will have 80% of the global market outside of Russia and China, according to one industry insider. As such, it’s reasonable to expect that Meta will censor precisely the same way the large news media corporations, including the New York Times, and corporate advertisers want it to. More censorship is what the mainstream news media, big corporations, and their celebrity pitch people have been demanding.
…additionally, Unlike Twitter, Threads collects data about “Health & Fitness,” “Financial Info,” “Sensitive Info,” and “Other Data.”
What’s ‘other data’?
Shellenberger further noted that within hours of launching, Threads was already secretly censoring users and not offering them the right to appeal.

Dailywire Article-Mark Zuckerberg Spends ‘Most’ Of His Time On Artificial Intelligence, Fellow Executive Reveals
Posted by M. C. on April 6, 2023
Microsoft, which has invested billions of dollars into ChatGPT creator OpenAI, announced last month that the system would be integrated into search engine Bing and internet browser Edge, allowing users to locate information or understand websites more easily.
Microsoft telling me how to “understand” (how and what to think) about websites-I feel so much safer.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other senior executives at the social media firm are spending “most” of their time on various initiatives related to artificial intelligence, according to the company’s chief technology officer.
Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth remarked in a Wednesday interview with Nikkei Asia that the company would soon respond to the release of ChatGPT, a mass-market AI system that can draft emails or write code in a matter of seconds, with innovations of their own. Google and Meta are the vanguards of AI research with respect to the number of studies published.
“We’ve been investing in artificial intelligence for over a decade, and have one of the leading research institutes in the world,” Bosworth told the outlet. He added that Meta employs “hundreds” of AI researchers and is confident they are “at the very forefront” of AI innovation.
Meta expects to commercialize elements of its generative AI capabilities by the end of this year. Companies that advertise on Instagram and Facebook, both owned by Meta, could soon ask an AI system to develop images for their campaigns and thereby save “a lot of time and money.”
The technology will also be used to develop portions of the Metaverse, a virtual reality that Meta is currently building, which inspired the company to change its name from Facebook. “Previously, if I wanted to create a 3D world, I needed to learn a lot of computer graphics and programming,” Bosworth said. “In the future, you might be able to just describe the world you want to create and have the large language model generate that world for you. And so it makes things like content creation much more accessible to more people.”
The development of AI capabilities at Meta comes at a tumultuous moment for the social media firm. Zuckerberg dismissed 27,000 employees in recent months as the company seeks to cut costs and improve profitability. Even amid the economic uncertainty which partially inspired the layoffs, investors have encouraged Zuckerberg to continue funding AI innovation.
