Q Anon is the tip of the iceberg
Lawrence Crowell
This is a video everyone should watch. In working on cyber-security since last spring I have brushed into some of this and have come to know CICADA and its role on the dark web. The world we live in is in a precarious state, where our infrastructure depends on systems of vast complexity, but at the same time more of humanity seems to be entering into some sort of voluntary schizophrenic state.
This makes an important connection with this bizarre subculture of cryptography on the web. There is literally a vast network of people out there doing these things. In college I was a bit of a hacker, but it was elementary stuff. Today, there is a dark industry of hacking the internet, and this has resulted in a continual war. This war makes light of the old saying, "Is this a private fight or can anyone join in?" Everyone has joined, and it is a huge multi-networked struggle or conflict that involves ultimately all of us.
I worked as a contractor to two companies that did work with the INTEL community. The reality then was you has the United States and the Soviet Union in a dynamic tension, and this involved what I worked on which was SIGINT, or signals in intelligence. The matrix of actors of this sort has grown exponentially since the time of the late 80s and the first half of the 90s. What occurs with cyber-security, even in the private world, is much the same and it curiosly involves propaganda games. QAnon is really just the propaganda wing of a much larger network of actors. In fact I suspect QAnon will fade away, but something or maybe several new things will emerge this decade.
About every century some region of the world enters into some sort of gregarious group-thought hypermania. This results in a mass disaster. Last century this took place in Russia, Italy, Germany and Japan. Before then it was the Napoleonic wars, and this pattern can be seen through the reformation wars back to the middle ages. Even tribal or indigenous societies can have a pattern of this, where every 3 or 4 generations they tend to fight wars. We are coming in queue here for the next big global tango, It also might be worth pointing out these have tended to happen with the introduction of new communication technologies. None of this looks at all good.

There are hundreds if not thousands of instances to the contrary. Some are listed below. That is why I call these Universities WAMP—Western Acade-Media Pagan(ism).

Big science has expelled smart new ideas from the classroom ... What they forgot is that every generation has its Rebel! That rebel, Ben Stein (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off) travels the world on his quest, and learns an awe-inspiring truth … that educators and scientists are being ridiculed, denied tenure and even fired – for the crime of merely believing that there might be evidence of design in nature, and that perhaps life is not just the result of accidental, random chance. To which Ben Says: Enough! And then gets busy. NOBODY messes with Ben.

I'm not saying companies don't have any power at all because they do, and sometimes they use the power they do have unwisely, and that's a problem, but the solution is not to give even more power to the government because it already has quite enough power thank you. So what is the solution? I don't know, there may not be one, there is not always a solution to every problem and that's why we live in an imperfect world and probably always will, but we should try to make the imperfections as small as possible. And if history has taught us anything it's that giving even more power to the government, which is already the most powerful institution in our society, will not make the world perfect.
And there are problems, like global warming that require international solutions. That implies that governments need the power to make the necessary agreements and to live up to them.
