New "Mission" of RPF
-
@C-Mex Well a lot of businesses do have forum sponsors. If Charlie isn't running LGS then it's certainly probable he knows the people who run it.
I still don't know what to think about the Cambridge thing, it's seems circumstantial at best. Amazon reserves server space for the CIA, yet there's still a lot of legitimate people who use their server space as well.
The weird religious extremism is the one thing I absolutely agree with you on. This isn't your typical "live right by god" rhetoric. He's spewing all sorts of fringe conspiracy shit. From the outside it would definitely be a bad look for Trump supporters. You wouldn't want this guy to sell the MAGA pitch to a bunch of skeptical democrats for sure, lol.
-
I think Charlie is probably just another "victim" of Garrett's propaganda. But because he has a platform, he useful in spreading Smith's message around.
-
Not buying it. All of these people have an agenda beyond just selling products to the public, and the antagonistic messaging is even counter to the latter.
Edit: I'm certain the address has nothing to do with the server location. The Ray Peat Forum 'non-profit' is in the UK and the address is associated with the University of Cambridge Department of Pharmacology. I don't see any way that could be mistaken for a server location as these business information sites aren't getting that information. I think it would be like saying I'm from wherever the servers are that my internet service provider uses, and I don't see them even knowing that information.
-
So they establish the online 'business' Life Giving Store in the heart of Trump country and the Bible Belt to try to establish legitimacy for the relationship to the RPF and 'Charlie's' religious and Trump leanings. Florida and Georgia (think Marjorie Taylor Greene, US Rep for Georgia).
-
This may have been mentioned earlier, but Such Labs is/was also associated with the same male individual at the address given in Tallahassee FL, and the woman's name now associated with the Life Giving Store (address in Georgia) is also associated with the Florida address. All publicly available information.
I guess Such Labs was the precursor to the Life Giving Store? Did 'Charlie' ever claim any relationship to Such Labs?

HMofG!! this thread has taken a dark turn. Good detective work everyone. The Cambridge University connection is a bit worrying not least because of the publications coming from the psychology department on health misinformation

-
Not to mention the echo (in my mind at least) of the works of Aleksandr Kogan and Cambridge Analytica.
Then again. ZoomInfo et al are notoriously schizo in their auto-connections. Still there must be a reason for that association. It's a strange one. I'm still on there, apparently working for several different outfits. When in reality I just moved on.
I would quite like an excuse to make the 2 hour drive and do this again. Would a meme RPF investigation land me in the bottom of the channels of little Venice. The time of year is certainly approaching to find out.

Very interesting. Great citations as to where things are and where they are going, and the author of the book links to WHO "Infodemic Management", etc. People have to realize just how large the online censorship apparatus is -- it's a mature industry -- but they still had problems with someone like Peat who didn't use social media and seemed to get attention from his website alone. Social media infiltration, 'prebunking', 'psychological innoculation', political bias in judging 'misinformation', 'accuracy nudging' and US conservatives...and more. It's all there. We were a perfect little test population, even though not all of us are conservatives.
Edit: It is particularly bothersome to me how much the censorship industry -- and now it appears the social media infiltration racket -- has permeated academia, and been offered and embraced as legitimate 'research'.

@yerrag
As a lifelong student of history, rewriting and erasing is visceral.Large smear campaigns are bad enough but the time to really worry are when names and bodies of work begin to disappear (has anyone tried to research Gilbert Ling a second time lately, without resorting to books?). I can name and discuss estoric historical examples all day long.
The web and digital are both great and terrible places to store information btw.
They're actually doing more than just erasing the likes of Gilbert Ling, pushing what advances our station as humans by depriving us of revolutionary knowledge, but also depriving of access literally to tools to apply such knowledge to improve our health.
I know. Just my experience with using hundred dollar devices made by Chinese companies from Shenzhen speaks volumes.
One of them is a ring that takes very accurate measurements of oxygen saturation and displays them in a chart. To visualize what the fluctuations in spO2 that even in the ICU (where I had the serendipity to be confined in due a stroke of luck- a perfect storm that landed me there) I cannot see with all their expensive monitoring devices there.
I am constantly adding these tools. So I'm aware when future versions of software such as apps become dumbed down and become toys for the average consumer.
I have spent the past two days trying to make an app work for the O²Ring, which I had been using for the past 3 years, and learning a lot from using it as it relates to my health. The insight I got from it has been invaluable. I know because during my confinement I spoke about my findings with my attending doctors and they could not relate to what I was showing them.
The new app for the O²Ring has been dumbed down, and I had been using older versions of the app for a while already. But then all of a sudden, the old apps started crashing. I kept on installing and using older and older versions of the app, until the oldest version In could find. All crashed. In my old phone as well as in my newer android phone. Such that it rendered my O²Ring practically useless except for the newer apps giving very little information amidst all the eye candy in user interface design. It essentially making an app meant for users of the Oura. Simplified and meant for the user to accept the expertise and AI involved in interpreting the data for him.
Unless I can write my own app and have access to the APIs, which are protected by IP (intellectual property) laws, my exploration deeper into applying what we know of bioenergetics from the likes of Ling and Peat on my own with low cost but powerful devices from the Chinese will become more and more difficult.
The only way all the old apps would keep crashing, I believe, has to do with the Android software that has lately been seeded with code that makes even old apps crash. I think in this area the powers that be are beginning to insidiously make the masses paupers in using low cost and empowering tools to better their health. Such devices are lately becoming more commonplace, and the sensors used are getting cheaper as they become more accurate. They are now nipping this nascent wave in the bud.
Another sign to add to what is happening to RPF as they start corralling us like cattle into the feed lot.
I hate this crap so much.
But more importantly you may have more tangible need than most. You may wish to check out "Apktool" (assuming this is on Android) which could allow you to reverse engineer these Chinese IoT monstrosities. Or farm the job out to a wizard on Mechanical Turk or similar service. Or ask nicely the people at the XDA developers forum.

According to a strangers pet rabbit, who's handy with a perfectly legal and public DNS recon service. There may or may not be a 777 subdomain unprotected by cloudflare, that indicates hosting in California.
A Linux/FTP joke or occult reference. Who knows.
-
I'm not sure that the physical location of the server is relevant. Someone might choose a host based on location or create a subdomain or whatever to speed up access time to the server by being located physically closer to the intended audience. Besides that, do servers typically come with a street address, such as XXX Tennis Court Rd, and a postal code? I've only seen regional or city information. Cloudflare indicated Reykjavik Iceland for example. ZoomInfo somehow came up with that Cambridge address that corresponds to the University Dept of Pharmacology by searching public records of some sort.

Looks like this thread jumped the shark.

@questforhealth lol

This whole thread is making me think we should all just get off the internet and trust no one at this point
or maybe its not so bad idk
-
Yeah well they've probably got some kind of profile on each and every one of us that are not part of this charade. That's why they need to know our usernames on RPF. And getting banned from the RPF doesn't necessarily give anybody any street cred in my opinion.
Maybe Ray Peat will see the end of digital culture as he wished toward the end after all. Look through the overly technical talk, the meaningless interjections of suppposed wit, diversions and dismissals right here on this thread and it is easy to see. Techniques to try to intimidate, dissuade and silence people. These are all techniques for social manipulation discussed in the literature BTW.
Vote accordingly people if you want to see an end to this BS online and a restoration of our rights under the Constitution. This may just constitute criminal or civil fraud if this is indeed an intelligence operation or otherwise connected to the US gov't, and there's only one candidate that has challenged and is challenging the censorship apparatus in court and recently won an injunction against Joe Biden, and has a VP from the Silicon Valley AI/tech world that won't be duped.
We don't know where we are exactly or where it is heading with AI and social media infiltration They've run these kinds of disinformation operations in foreign countries for decades, but the intelligence agencies have been turned against the Amercian people, and academia and other institutions have been duped into thinking this is some kind of legitimate 'research'. Some of these puppets probably actually believe they are 'saving democracy' by battling 'dangerous misinformation', but we are under military rule through the art of propaganda and deception.
"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." - William J. Casey, CIA Director (1981)

@C-Mex
Scary times, wondering if we should print out the Ray Peat website and have it on paper. Or even have someone make a book or something...

This. There's nothing new under the sun really. We're just changing lenses. The angle on this one, somewhere between packet switching and corporate law, is probably far too wide. Don't sweat it q4h. Sleep well, shine and don't let anyone put the light out in a way three sleeps can't fix. At no one elses expense. I'm guilty by the way. Avert or correct that.
Walk, don't run.

Once or twice a day at least. A week at a time from time to time. More if you can. Get bored. Remember.

Trust is the removal of attention for the discernment of Truth. It's context dependant at all times. And you can defer it to God.
Be careful with cynicism. Because it's also a feeling. If you don't trust where you ought to, you won't be trusted. And we need it.

It's hard to know whats true or not sometimes. Bad brainfog from heavy metals still.
Last time this year I must have been in a very high energy or 'vibration' state whatever you want to call it... Weird how people treat you when life is like that..ffs I wish I had never drunk that poisoned coffee

A spooks mining field trip – it’s not you that should end up in the canal. I wonder if there is a link between Sander van der Linden and Cambridge Analytica? Just thinking out loud. Fascinating how some of the brightest minds in the country end up as change agents. They walk among us
