RE: .
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
In a Wikileaks document that was part of the Stratfor email dump, there is specific mention of Michael Springmann, and how he was constantly over-ruled when rejecting suspicious visa applications, while he was "chief of the visa section at the U.S. Consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia".
This is an egregious issue where diplomatic attachments are being used as cover for Intel operations and, at in this case, it would seem as cover for terrorist activities. It's been well documented that embassies around the world double for CIA ops or the use of organizations like USAID or NED to further specific agendas in foreign countries.
Another prime example, was the use of the US embassy in Costa Rica by the DEA/CIA/FBI that employed drug and arms dealers that funded the Nicaraguan Contra armies to oust the Sandinistas - Iran Contra.
Fascinating deep dive here @palikari123 - I really hope it's not your last!
Hit me up on discord,

Thanks for your input, and I totally agree with your analysis/additions there. Those double agents are everywhere! It's as if they are a different breed, that never stop breeding.
As far as the Deep dives go, it is my last here. There is a slight chance that I may try something off chain, if time permits and I have the energy for it. But that is only a thought at this moment. I will engage with my personal dystopian master and overlord @bifilarcoil to see what we can do in that regard. If that does eventuate, I will let you know.
But I am not leaving the chain entirely (I still have other commitment's for now) and/or feel defeated only because of one incident. There is a lot more to it than that. There have been a few incidents in the background, where others have attempted to cause harm to me personally, and/or engage in shady behaviour. Enough is enough. Add everything else into the mix, and it has just become too much.
I can say though, that I am absolutely leaving with my head held high, because I've had the opportunity to contribute to, share and be part of something on this platform, that I could never have possibly imagined, I would have dipped my toe into, only a couple of short years ago. Not because I didn't have either the belief, ability or enthusiasm to research and empower myself and others with something that can genuinely change the world, but because I never thought I would ever see the day, where I would actually write/blog about topics that I was already researching as a hobby in my own spare time, before I found the blockchain.
It is with the utmost regret, that I have come to the conclusion that the blockchain is not for free people who can co-mingle or express themselves without authoritarianism creeping into peoples mindset, as the power of their stake grows to the point where they become petulant little children, who will silence others at any cost when they don't like either their opinions, or their different views on various matters. Not to mention their outright hypocrisy. I'm done with this childish garbage. I simply don't need this at this point in my life - and I am certainly not going to allow a couple of virtue signalling douche bags to hold power over me, or others for that matter. I would rather just leave and have peace of mind.
When people attack me, I attack back just as hard. I will never allow anyone to try and impose their will over me, no matter how big or small they are. Both in size or wealth, or whatever other metric one wants to use as a measuring stick. It's totally irrelevant to me in general, and I will stand my ground firmly and speak my mind as I see fit in the heat of the moment when I feel it's necessary to do so, even if people don't agree with it at the time, or it looks bad in the general sense.
The fact that one individual came into another individuals post, and felt the need to outright silence my opinion in thug like fashion, speaks volumes about this platform, and how power creep sets in when they find even the slightest bit of success. Two orcas, ganging up on one person hey? Sounds like they have something to hide from their followers to me...but that's just how I see it. They are too busy trying to woo the feicesbook and twatter crowd anyway, which I want no part of. But they are only interested in the flashing dollar signs that will come from it all.
I'm tired of seeing their stupid lectures in my feed, where they feel they are entitled to dominate both the conversation and direction of this platform, on behalf of everyone else, while constantly saying nobody is entitled to anything. Will they ever address to the rest of us peasants, why they are entitled to everythying? Apparently that conversation, can't happen both ways. I'm also not interested in being part of a "decentralised" blockchain, where certain individuals want to create a hierarchical governance system so they can hold power over the rest of the community and have the ability to shape things in their own image or belief system, instead of allowing individuals to freely interact with each other, how they see fit. I don't need to be told what to do, but I will happily co-operate with others if there is a mutual understanding or agreement in any particular situation.
Anyway, I firmly believe that some people think that they are better than everyone else on here. Mark my words, those two truly believe that from my point of view.I know you will likely disagree with that, as you interact and know them much better than I do on a personal level.
So I bid you, and all potential Deep Divers farewell. I wish you personally, all the best for the future and everyone as a whole. I hope your project has all the success it deserves, based on your perseverance and commitment to the truth. Unfortunately, contributors from a numbers standpoint has not been there for the most part, up to this point in general. It's easy to talk the talk, but not so easy to walk the walk, as they say. I genuinely hope that changes and this community prospers.
There have been some ups and downs along the way, but I have genuinely met some amazing people on this blockchain, who I could call my friends, both in the online and real worlds.
Love you brother, and thank you so much for everything - and more specifically for all the encouragement and support you have shown me personally, during my tine here. I will still be following my feed and reading your work with interest!
Adios!
Now I get to post my flying little birds, once last time as a sign of respect:) Fly my little pretty's!
