As opposed to fake change, it begins at the root level

In hindsight, #whyistrumpstillfree

So, in hindsight, the Covid-19 pandemic began as an extinction level event. Regardless of whether the virus was engineered and released deliberately or whether it was accidental or whatever, the world has changed forever. In hindsight, the deliberate de construction of the federal government by Donald J Trump and the Republican party created the conditions for this virus to kill 1,500,000 Americans so far, and a total so far of 6,596,542 according to https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019?2qMgDQEAAYASAAEgKeLfD_BwE .This de-construction was achieved by recalling the CDC personnel from China, and other hotspots around the world that allowed them to fight any virus outbreaks THERE, not HERE. Then too, the response to this extinction level event by the Republican party by hyper actively pushing the cultural anti-mask narrative to a point where covid-19 has now embedded itself into our wildlife, where it is free to mutate into whatever. Way to go Republicans, all in for viral freedom.

But wait’ there’s more.

I found the following unattributed on a friend’s Facebook post, re posted it to my timeline, and decided to bring it here to ask the question  #whyistrumpstillfree

Copied from another person, but after all this #whyistrumpstillfree
“I really don’t owe my Trump-supporting friends an apology. I’ve been critical of the Trump presidency these last several years, and am still exhausted from the experience. But to be fair, President Trump wasn’t that bad…………..other than when he incited an insurrection against the government, mismanaged a pandemic that killed a million Americans, separated children from their families, lost those children in the bureaucracy, tear-gassed peaceful protesters on Lafayette Square so he could hold a photo op holding a Bible in front of a church, tried to block all Muslims

Don’t forget that he took many classified & top secret documents with him when he left the White House, many of which have not been recovered & may have been compromised. I’m sure there are a whole bunch of other things I can’t remember at the moment. I’m sure none of the above comes close to whatever is on Hunter Biden’s laptop.”

And they want us to move on

I don’t think so.

Lincoln’s better angels must prevail.

Update:

Today, 2-28-23, FBI Director Christopher Wray said that the agency has assessed that the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic was “most likely a potential lab incident” in Wuhan, China. Wray told Fox News’ Bret Baier in an interview on Tuesday that the FBI’s work on determining where the pandemic originated is continuing, but many details related to the investigation remain classified. I suspect those details are still classified because our government does not want to piss off the largest enslavement of humans ever known, commonly known as China.

Second update 6-16-23:

Please don’t buy into all the Republican sponsored misinformation currently infecting the Twitter verse and beyond.

Ready for some big words? Here you go.

How bad did Trump fuck up? Here is some more.

American oversight of Trumps response Here you go again

No Script comparison of Lehigh Valley news sites

Greetings all, with life being interesting in all, sorry haven’t been around too much. Running a campaign for as big a position as this is challenging for a one-man army like me, and time is growing short. This particular article however will deal with a subject I’ve been railing against for many years now and that is how and why many news organizations spy on their users. The pictures below will illustrate what happens when no script, which is my favorite Firefox plug-in, blocks all the scripts from various news organizations. These third party sites can inject cookies and scripts into the surfing experience. Let us begin:

Here are some Facebook suggestions

Here is a small and recent collection of Facebook suggestions made to me by Facebook, which seemed to have started the day before election day 2022. I am posting it here, because Facebook will choose when you can see this but since this is my site, you can always find it here. Stay tuned, full lunar eclipse coming tomorrow morning.

The Facebook AI collective are decepticons Part 1

This photo collection is from a recent experiment I did with Facebook where my Facebook profile is viewed from my Facebook profile, and  the view of my content from a Facebook stranger’s point of view. There seems to be a big difference in what is shown. This silences my intentionally public facing political voice, making Facebook liable for holding back my free speech while they let the trumptards run amok? They constantly suggest content in deceptive ways like they are watching you, how you surf and loiter on the web. I find it funny when, after Facebook makes the suggestion to me, a friend or two posts it later, telling me they took Facebook’s suggested post. So, I am supposed to accept Facebook’s suggestive posts and relevant comments?  I don’t think so.

Facebook has an AI or Artificial Intelligence collective that, over the last ten years or so, has seemingly become opposed to civil political discourse all the while pushing divisive content into the eyeballs of millions of people, including me. I have been an admin of several Facebook groups, and my admin views show me things and I will continue to do so despite Facebook’s interference to free speech. Until I saw and took these pictures, I still believed that Facebook could become a proper vehicle for civil discourse in our democratic society when Facebook is blocking my own relevant posts in my groups I admin? The madman who wants to build the metaverse wants us to trust it? https://about.facebook.com/metaverse (Beware of invasive code)

No more

We are in a great cyberwar. Mostly Ukraine versus Russia, with Chinese Surveillance State looming with Tik Tok and lots of other actors. Trump and his qanon cult are an existential threat in there own right. #whyistrumpstillfree ? Even now they plot and scheme openly on Facebook live. Bots, shell scripts, and malicious software imitating millions of people at the same time. Hundreds of millions of American dollars are flowing around, both my opponents for Congress are millionaires, and here is my broke af ass looking up into the impending madness and wondering wtff?

These bot armies are made up of compromised computers, routers, IoT’s ( Internet of Things) and such acting in unison for malicious purposes including swaying public opinion, causing denial of service attacks, infecting more people, etc. They are often controlled by nation-states and those they pay for various services. And then, multiple AI have  evolved into machine learned schizophrenia. And they don’t co ordinate very well, yet. If they learn to co ordinate malicious activities, I promise bad things will happen again. And Facebook is but just one of the psy op battlefields where malicious artificial intelligence collectives battle for your attention. Don’t believe me? Listen to Mudge, also known as former head of security for Twitter https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/09/15/mudge-twitter-facebook-data-privacy/ 

“Upon joining Twitter, I discovered that the Company had 10 years of overdue critical security issues, and it was not making meaningful progress on them… Staying true to my ethical disclosure philosophy, I repeatedly disclosed those security failures to the highest levels of the Company. It was only after my reports went unheeded that I submitted my disclosures to government agencies and regulators.”

“Twitter’s security failures threaten national security, compromise the privacy and security of users, and at times threaten the very continued existence of the Company… despite these grave threats, Twitter leadership has refused to make the tough but necessary changes to create a secure platform. Instead, Twitter leadership has repeatedly covered up its security failures by duping regulators and lying to users and investors.”

Facebook literally controls what other people see about you. What if, I am suffering the effects of shadow banning because some anonymous troll reports my content? Using TOR (The Onion Router)? It is possible to report individual content to Facebook, unless I pay for permission to lie like Doug Mastriano? Can the Facebook collection of artificial intellegences be externally weaponized to cause division and disruption? And how well does Facebook guard against foreign and un natural influence? How can Facebook, and other social media, be trusted to show you all sides on an issue. How can Facebook become a better vehicle for democracy?

It can’t.

I just discovered that Facebook uses over 62,000,000 lines of code, not including the back end. That number was in 2018. The Linux kernel has roughly 27,000,000 line of code on GitHub. The size of the code base is too much for one human to read it all. ven Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, admitted he can’t keep track of the code so he created GitHub.  And to top it all off, Not all Facebook code is open source. If all Facebook code were open source, could it be interpreted as the “Democratization” of Facebook? Do we deserve any less? Can any one person actually handle this? The new Facebook occupies SO much more ram.

“The more you overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to clog it up” – Montgomery Scott

Please note I am posting this here, instead of Facebook. Facebook deletes whatever it wants, allowing anyone including bad actors to post through the Tor network, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_onion_address and allows insurgents to run rampant like vermin in a barn, and I no longer trust this as a permanent record of words, or by extension, political discourse.

For a much more expansive reveal, check this out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Facebook and if you are STILL not convinced of these clear and present dangers,  there are currently 375 references at the bottom of that Wikipedia article.

There is only 23 hours and 56 minutes or so to a day.

Facebook needs drastic intervention now to avert a dystopian nightmare for our descendants or I fear the worse is yet to come.

Send me to Congress, and I will fight for ALL registered voters. http://www.shupeforcongress.com

Addendum:

My secondary monitor, where the view of my profile, is rotated at 1200 x 1920. Makes for a better scrolling experience IMHO. Also I just noticed Facebook is blocking these most informative links. Like this https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/counterintelligence/the-china-threat/clearance-holders-targeted-on-social-media-nevernight-connection and this one too https://billofrightsinstitute.org/activities/washingtons-farewell-address-annotated

Please write my name in on your ballot, and why?

Yes, I hope you read that right. Today, I announce my independent, write in campaign for the PA-07th Congressional seat, currently occupied by Susan Wild. Building on an idea I first proposed in 2012 at http://realchange.us/the-gist-of-it-all/ with the ideas of crowdsourcing democracy or direct democracy where the voters share in the legislative agenda instead of corruptible political parties that have left our planet in shambles. For details, please see my public Facebook posts as well as my content on http://realchange.us

During the show, after a short time, I will open up the call in lines for anyone to ask any specific questions. I have 2 hours allotted, so I hope there is plenty of time to discuss my platform http://www.shupeforcongress.com.  In addition to asking for your vote, please share this podcast, as well as my posts, tweets, and other content. I need help to invoke real change, as I can’t do this alone. And time is short. Thank you for looking.

Addendum:

During the podcast, I realized it was the conversations I enjoyed all along. From when I first encountered Usenet long ago to what I do today, to what I hope to do tomorrow. If you believe in my words, please write in my name, Lewis Shupe, on your ballot and send me to Congress to get past the cosmic grade bovine manure. And please SHARE my content among the hours in your orbit. If you wish to help out in other ways, please contact me at volunteer@realchange.us

One point I failed to mention is that there is a stage beyond kernel pwnage. That happens when either the firmware level UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) or BIOS (Basic input Output System) becomes infected. This type of malicious software is out there in the wild. Remedies for this level of attack get expensive, or throw it away, accept the damage done,  and get a new one. There is precedent here. Why else the burner phones at the 2022 winter Olympics? https://www.wired.com/story/winter-olympics-2022-phones-security/ .

Answer? Because I strongly suspect that, since they manage there own cellular telephone network infra-structure devoted to the Chinese Surveillance State, they command the OTA (Over The Air) update mechanism for updating and upgrading handsets on the fly. And they use this to push surveillance ware upon there populations to keep them obedient drones, devoid of free will. I have lost Cyanogenmod modded handsets here in the U.S. because OTA was not somehow disabled, turning them into bricks. For more information on the Chinese Surveillance Stare, check this out from an organization near and dear to me since its inception, the Electronic Frontier Foundation. https://www.eff.org/tags/china

Once you listen to the podcast above, I hope you see why I say Lisa Scheller is a walking national security incident waiting to bloom in the halls of Congress. I hate to say it but Trump was right to ban Tik Tok, it’s users are becoming  willing participants of the Chinese Surveillance state. China does not fight war like western nations. They have learned the lessons of Sun Tzu well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_War . With over 1,000,000,000 souls, they have numbers devoted to discovering there own 0-day exploits, waiting patiently for the right trigger. China, as it is becoming, represents my worst fear for humanity beyond my time. My admin powers tell me China is listening to me. Actually, I don’t know why China fears me? Just because I condemn the Chinese Surveillance State doesn’t mean I hate China. In face, I would rather help them end this cold war. because this madness must end, or begin to end while there is still free will. Preferably before a nuke goes off.

I once had this crazy idea of building a massive bridge over the Bering Straight from Russia to Alaska. On a previous show I also discussed the danger of cross-continental contamination related to this idea. But now with Ukraine and Russia at war, and a belligerent China, now I am not so sure. Why? I fear unreported damage to our country while our country is still assessing the secrets Trump stole.

 

Addendum 2:

As for Lisa Scheller, I wish her no ill will either. But perhaps she should consider what the FBI has to say? https://www.fbi.gov/…/counterintelligence/the-china-threat

But wait, there’s more. https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/counterintelligence/the-china-threat/clearance-holders-targeted-on-social-media-nevernight-connection

I have another post up at http://realchange.us/the-facebook-ai-collective-are-decepticons-part-1/ where I post photographic evidence Facebook is blocking the above links.   I feel the need to point out that my words and show above was done long before I became aware of the FBI links above. IMHO, they lend credence to the argument she needs to address. The survival of our country depends on it.

Friends, I need your help in my greatest quest to serve in Congress

Friends and all, greetings. Please read as I ask for your help in my noble quest to become elected to Congress in the PA-07th district. So yea, this world has become crazy AF, and I blame Republicans more, but Democrats helped out in the long term to create a world that is ALL WRONG and I believe IMHO that this has become the world Washington warned us about in his final address. https://billofrightsinstitute.org/activities/washingtons-farewell-address-annotated

I originally wanted to get on the ballot as an Independent candidate. Then I got bogged down with various issues, including a suspected Chinese hacking attempt on my hosting provider. That began when I re-directed  http://www.shupeforcongress.com to http://realchange.us . This event triggered a sleeping virus that began infecting an un used theme in my word press installation, then grew to a major security incident where my control was limited to conversing with tech support with better admin privileges than me. So, if true, China does not want me in Congress. Guess who deals with China? The nature of the job requires I get more write in votes than my opponents, Susan Wild and Lisa Scheller. Both of whom happen to be millionaires. To that end, I need your help. and time is short. And I’m not getting any younger.

If anyone can provide cash, great. Please contact me asap at  volunteer@realchange.us . Since I don’t have a lot of cash to play with, I don’t expect to be advertising anytime soon.  I will be putting my wordsmithing skills to the tests on these interwebs, where I have been swimming for over 30 years. Please contact me at the above address if you wish to help out in other ways. But one of the easiest ways to help in my quest is to SHARE every post I make, every show I make, every tweet I make, etc. Talk about them. Post them in your groups, your tweets, Instagram, etc. If you can print stickers, please contact me.  Share the idea that real change can begin. If you have doubts about my quest, let me know. You can also start with my platform http://realchange.us/my-platform/

This whole idea I first proposed at http://realchange.us/the-gist-of-it-all/ in 2012 is where this idea officially began. The idea of the voters themselves advising, proposing, and participating in a direct democracy using pre existing political boundaries. Yes, it is my intention, within the bounds of the law, to consult with the voters to both get my agenda done, as well as what the voters want as other legislative business. I would much rather see this than party influence, and look around for the results so far. Washington, in his farewell address, warned us about the perils of political parties and to place our identities to America itself, rather than political factions. Consider too, that these political factions are subject to MASSIVE amounts of misinformation, disinformation and bovine manure that Washington and our other forefathers could not possibly have foreseen. Want proof? Look at your Facebook feed with a critical eye.

For several years now, as a page and group admin I have witnessed various disinformation patterns on a complicit Facebook, Twitter, and other social media. If nothing else, perhaps the winner will take up parts of my platform? If I win, I will take it all, and them some.

To my friends who know Susan Wild, please understand I bear no ill will towards her. Susan Wild has done a whole lot of good for the most part. My beef is more with the parties than with her. And my eyes were fixated on her current job since long before we met in 2015, when I began streaming Allentown city council videos. First at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8TGc8vyVtO24LrwZ-5hXVA , then on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/groups/letsbuildanewallentowntogether/ .  On Facebook, click on my profile picture for the full story.

As for Lisa Scheller, I don’t know her personally. I tried reaching out to her 2 years ago on Twitter, but she blocked me. I’m sure I’ll hear from her soon enough.

The whole reason I am doing this is because civility in political discussions has been cast aside by enemies of freedom such as China and Russia, who expend great resources on troll farms, public relations agencies, correct the record, and the like. I have also witnessed, time and again, the “Whipping Effect” in legislative bodies where serving politicians are whipped into performing with the party line, and not the will of the voters. The parties, in turn, are emboldened and motivated by more radical elements indirectly backed up by foreign entities and useful idiots. Throw in the long game of the Federalist Society, which they won when they packed the Supreme Court, and you might begin to see why I say this hate and madness MUST end if we are to survive and build anew. This, and so much more, is what is causing the left wing and the right wing to attack each other. Not remembering the left wing and the right wing are parts of the same bird. When the right wing and the left wing work together, we fly. When we don’t, we develop a massive schizophrenic complex.

It is my intention, beginning Sunday September 11th 2022 to broadcast an episode of my show each and every day. After saying my peace, I will open up the call in lines where anybody can call in and ask questions. Keep an eye out for my show on Facebook, Twitter as @lashupe, and at https://www.blogtalkradio.com/thewtfffiles where I broadcast live from wherever I happen to be. Afterwards, they will be archived at http://realchange.us .

And, when the time comes, Please write my name in on your ballot, Lewis Shupe, as your next Congressperson for the PA-07th Congressional district. Send me to Washington DC to work for the registered voter, not the parties. Thank you for your support.

2022 Primary election breakdown

In 2016, I was involved in the Jill Stein recount in Lehigh County. The results of that effort is posted at http://realchange.us/lehigh-county-elections-could-well-be-pwned-let-me-count-the-ways/ Since that time, I have not been a poll worker in Lehigh County, despite several attempts to do so even though I regained my eyesight a year later.  During the November 2021 election, I wrote my name in on the ballot as a judge of elections. In April 2022, I was informed that I won.

In this recent primary, I was the judge of elections for Allentown’s 3rd ward, located at the Lehigh County Government Center, which is actually my normal polling place. Since I am an independent voter, and there were no ballot questions, I did not vote. PA is a closed primary state, only party members can vote.

Please join me this Thursday at 9:00 pm as I discuss the experiences I had, what has changed since 2016, as well as recent election news and plenty more wtf’s along with a surprise special guest or two.

BONUS: I will reveal voting machine hacking information Donald Trump wished he knew.
