FOR ANYONE - PLEASE READ/EDIT/COPY/SHARE

THIS IS A TRANSCRIPT OF A PIECE OF PAPER TRYING TO POP YOUR INFO BUBBLE

It’s so hard for good information to spread these days. Even people who don’t want to be in echo chambers still can’t avoid
them due to censorship.

I’m one of those oddballs who doesn’t fit in with other people. I ask a lot of questions.
I know stuff & there’s never enough time to tell everyone the stuff I know, so I’m typing this printout.

-------

If you only have a moment, here are my most important points:

1 Whoever says you can’t change the world is lying. You probably change the world every day. Your
choices matter no matter who you are.

2 America is killing children for oil again. Please consume less & get rid of the nuclear bombs.

3 COVID is dangerous & not over. Masks help.

4 The internet is censored. Open-source p2p projects are a step forward. More users are needed on
internet networks like bittorrent, nostr, soulseek, tor, monero, etc.

-------

America is attempting a genocide in Gaza. Oil is running out.

Liquid crude oil supply has been dwindling for a long time, which is why you hear about what’s called “shale oil,” which is also getting
increasingly difficult to supply enough of. Read about “Hubbert’s Peak” online for more details.

Israel is acting as a proxy for the United States. Children are being killed en masse with American weapons.

As I type this on March 7, it’s been 153 days of fighting. Over 30,000 in Gaza have been killed. More than half of
those killed have been under 18. Various serious war crimes have been committed.

Now, American troops are being deployed under false pretenses to escalate things further.

This is essentially a continuation of the “war on terror” & its strategy of fighting terror with terror. Please see that fighting terror with terror isn’t real. It is
a distraction from oil. Consuming less, & convincing others to consume less, may be the best you can do to make a difference as an individual in America.
Did you know slowing down from 65 to 55MPH saves about 5 miles per gallon in fuel? It also reduces the risk of a fatal accident by at least 10%.

When the military industrial complex takes oil from places like this, they make sure to destabilize things for the locals so they will get scared & angry & be provoked
into doing things that justify taking control of more places with access to more oil. This is nothing new; before oil, it was already common for empires to provoke
smaller groups & act confused about wars starting. America already tried this on the Native Americans. What’s unusual here is that half the people in Gaza are
under 18. It's also new that we're in the era of climate change & nuclear arsenals. Shouldn’t we at least stop storing & transporting nukes near civilian populations?

You might remember the Bush administration saying there were WMDs in Iraq. There weren’t.

Now the Biden administration says the kids in Gaza bombed their own hospital.
The Pentagon refuses to provide aerial footage of the bombing, as if we forgot to have any wide area surveillance covering
Gaza for that moment of this conflict.
Gaza is a tiny area. We have a lot of satellites & drones. The Pentagon also defends Israeli raids on hospitals in Gaza by claiming they're used as bases for Hamas.

American media keeps saying Hamas should make another ceasefire deal.
Hamas already tried a ceasefire deal in November when they had no reason to trustit. Israel spent a
few days violating the deal,trying to provoke Hamas to end it. Hamas kept being patient, so Israel
declared an end to the ceasefire. American news outlets still blamed Hamas for the ceasefire ending.

Tax evasion & bank heists are not crimes, in my opinion. They are parts of your duty as a citizen.
Taxes today are a test of obedience. Nobody who deserves respect would ask everyone to prove obedience in a sacrificial ritual like this. It's nothing for the country to
worry about financially; anyone without a close enough connection to a money printer is taxed via inflation anyway, to help the government avoid being clear about
what its operations truly cost the American people. Taxes were basically optional under the United States Constitution until the Civil War, after which it was
changed with the 16th Amendment to stop freedom from getting too real. America has never had a legitimate Constitutional government that cared about
everyone's liberty. George Washington even once had the Supreme Court ignore the Constitution in a case about a “carriage tax.”

Save children's lives by explaining this page to anyone involved in the military industrial complex.
That means anyone in America, but some more than others. Also, maybe show them Trigun (1998) & Oil for the Lamps of China (1935)

Financial tip: conventional investments lose value. Stocks are counterfeit by the DTC. Save up real gold, silver & cryptocurrency.

Math & computers can prove the reported number of dogecoins is accurate. Nobody can prove the reported number of Tesla shares in circulation. The debt-backed financial system will keep taking more & more until it collapses.

Did you know America has lost six nuclear bombs? Tybee Island GA probably still has one in the water.

Your phone is always spying on you. Even a PinePhone with a hardware switch for the mic could still potentially pick up sound using the
speakers. Never trust any President if Edward Snowden hasn't been pardoned & set free alive.

If these QR codes don't scan & you don't want to type them.by hand, try the links in the digital copy from the easier QR code at top of front page. However, these links use the internet
& DNS, so censoring them is as simple as blocking network paths; thus the links may be broken or changed in the future. Some of these have dot.onion versions which should be used
instead when possible. Some can also be viewed as snapshots on other sites such as archive.today instead of opening directly. I'm not paid for any of this, but one is a referral link.

https://nostr.how

A website explaining the nostr protocol. It's
basically an experimental prototype of a
decentralized Twitter clone. Not great yet, but has
some cool stuff built in already, like Bitcoin tipping
for posts & absolutely no blue check marks.

https://snort.social

The name is a jumble of “nostr” because it runs on
nostr. Post without a name or email address or
anything. Needs more interesting people so give it
a few minutes & see if there's anyone you want to
follow. Try Stella Assange, she seems cool.

https://torproject.org

Tor project homepage, makers of the onion router
privacy network & Tor browser. Overhyped
experiment. Worth using to encrypt traffic & access
darkweb, but don't put too much trust in the
protection offered.

http://fresh323wttt5ttu5o45bt52eyv7xrxbo6e7skvxiuhflbkkmzngohqd.onion

Slow-loading, uncensored search engine for .onion
sites. Only accessible via Tor. Flooded with criminal
stuff because not enough regular people use Tor.
Still usable the same way Google being flooded
with scam ads doesn’t stop you from using it.


https://freebitco.in/?r=1600054&tag=p1

Referral link (#1600054) to a sketchy Bitcoin bank &
casino. It’s called “freebitcoin” because in return
for an email address, you can bet small amounts of
the house's money until you win enough to
withdraw without depositing your own. I can't help
you if money disappears, but this predates FTX.

https://instances.invidio.us

Redirect link to a list of Invidious hosts.
Invidious is a pirate YouTube portal that
blocks ads while trying to also block trackers
& allow downloads.

https://english.almanar.com.lb

While hamas.ps seems to have been taken down by
DNS censorship, at least this is still standing: Almanar,
the state propaganda outlet of Hezbollah. Basically
Lebanon's PBS. They also have a free satellite TV
station in Arabic.

https://searx.space

A list of Searx instances. Searx is a Google
search portal that might not track you too
much.

https://cri.cn

China Radio International. Basically China's BBC
World Service. Fun to listen to for a few minutes.
Also available on shortwave radio. RIP Li Wenliang

https://yandex.com

Yandex is like a Russian Google. Sometimes it can
find results that are censored in America, but it will
track & scam just like Google. RIP Navalny

https://slsknet.org

Soulseek homepage. Music sharing platform. Like
Napster/LimeWire/etc. but better. Still not perfect.
Features include chat rooms & direct messaging in
addition to file sharing. Android app is called "Seeker" on Google Play

https://btdig.com

Great search engine for finding torrent
magnet links. If you don't know what those
are, you might want to look up bittorrent.

COVID is a deadly airborne virus that can spread without showing symptoms & can sometimes leave its victims disabled
instead of dead. The pandemic is not over. Masks are effective. Masks & avoiding contact with strangers are necessary measures
to protect yourself & your loved ones. Look out for other biological dangers like prions & microplastics too.

“Viral dose” is probably the factor behind these measures being so effective. By reducing exposure to the virus, even without completely eliminating exposure, your
immune system gets a better chance to protect you while developing resistance before the virus can attack more strongly. This is not an endorsement of big
pharma's experimental vaccines, which are deployed to provide an excuse for ignoring the virus while at the same time keeping the virus in circulation.

I hope I’m not wasting paper too severely. Since
this Calvin & Hobbes strip about 35 years ago,
the extinction rate has skyrocketed. In the next
15 minutes, another creature will find itself the
last of its kind. Look up “the anthropocene.” A
recent study found humans have wiped out
60-70% of the wildlife the planet was home to
50 years ago. World leaders will now try fighting
atmospheric pollution with atmospheric
pollution. We really need investment in
aerospace & robotics to make a sunshield.

❂ I wouldn't bet the universe can afford to lose one more person that cares. ❂
