Surprisingly (or perhaps not, as I pay little attention to them), I have not heard this trumpeted across the enemedia. Is Lukashenko fine, cutting ribbons, stamping papers he's told to, sniffing children in the finest political style (just a joke about politics. Don't have a fit)?
Perhaps not. But why would Lukashenko have ended up Polonium enriched? From all the enemedia mentions of Belarus and Lukashenko, he appears to have been a buttress Russia and Putin have relied on without lapse or even a threat of it.
Belarussians, though, perhaps not so much. However, their necks were not resting so uncomfortably as Lukashenko's. Maybe that was an issue. Babushkas in Russia clearly are aware of the corruption and nazification of the Ukraine, and volubly agin' it. Belarussian babushkas seem not have been packing their boys' stuff and kicking them to the front.
Perhaps that is about to change.
Now that US 'advisors' are publicly declared to be on the ground in the Ukraine, Belarus could be about to become fully demilitarized, as has N. Korea some time back.
'Let the good times roll', to quote Ric Ocasek. Let's hope they don't roll right over the Belarussian people, as they did Chinese students on Tienanmen square. Most people don't seem to know that the protests of the students were regarding the extraordinary favor the CCP showed black, Western male students.

So much of our history isn't just concealed, it's inconceivable.

What we can know is that their smiles are daggers, their friendships fast and loose, ephemeral, and the results of keeping their friends close, and their enemies closer. Van Hagar said it best: 'Love is the source of infection' - for psychopaths.
The CIA today says, buried deep in it's files available to the public (if you can find it), that Hitler retired so S. America. Such a yoeman's service to the achievement of Communism by the WEF surely demanded such expense and subterfuge. Lukashenko rose to his station as the only President of Belarus from humble roots as a teacher of politics and construction. No doubt he has earned a retirement consonant with his faculty.
We will surely never know. But know this: when I recommend we stick to our knitting, I mean we should knit, not only that we should ignore the flimsy parapets of the false fronts that seem to hedge us in to our insurvivable corral. There is much that is lies. Friend or foe, failure or feat, false or fact. So much foolery, recommended so highly by experts in enemies, like Sun Tzu. None of it matters.
What can be relied on are our achievements, our constructions, our networks we build ourselves between us. In person, one cookie, one cup of coffee, one dinner at a time, and across our number one FRS radio, one solid copper line between neighbors in a neighborhood, one protocol that we deploy to connect us outside of the wholly WEF owned internet. Elon Musk offers hope in one Starlink, and snatches it away with one WEF star minion.
Today AI is making everything unbelievable, creating a literal post-fact future - or is it already the past? Since it cannot deliver facts, can only deny, falsify, and mislead, we must deliver ourselves verifiable facts. Nothing will ever have more value than good company, reputation built on trust, and knowledge of a reality we can depend on. The more fast facts become like fast fashion, the more that musky reek of flapping propaganda pieholes dominates the public conversation, the less we can depend on it, the less we must attend to it.
There is indeed a Great Reset coming, but it's not coming from the WEF, which is dying. The American Empire isn't dying. Empire itself is dying, the very ability of overlords to lord it over us is ending. It is ending one teacup at a time. One crawdad at a time. One spaceship at a time. We cannot survive letting a Great Reset realign us to overlords. We must adopt modern technology to push forward civil society, not be relegated to obsolete technology - and obsolete technocrats.
All of history has been of centralization increasing power, wealth, and felicity, and not only of overlords. We can surely whinge and detail the horrific specifics of decimation and deceit that has accompanied our incredible increases in felicity, but we cannot deny the astounding advances in felicity just in the last century alone. Our average age at death has ~tripled. What is now true is that the advance of centralization is over. We cannot let that end the advance of civilization. Centralization is NOT civilization.
Economies of scale don't, anymore. It now costs less to society for bespoke hand-made cabinets custom fitted to my neighbors secondhand RV than crappy Ikea particle board, costs less to my neighbor, and profits me - and all of us - more.
The reason for this is the insuperable overhead of centralization, which must support horrific corruption of massive national governments, vast armies of sloppily trained cannon fodder to fling armaments at, so the oligarchs can profit from sales of armaments and lead their sybaritic un-carbon tracked lives.
Decentralization eliminates parasitic losses, and all of centralizaton is parasitism. Centralization cannot compete. When I made that cabinet for Kat, I made it of leftover scraps from another neighbors build down the road. Brand new, free lumber. My wage has no overhead of bribes, of vacations, or any of the myriad tax cheats accountant laden corporations have to incorporate in their prices. Importantly, I didn't have to pick an average size most people would want. I fit the cabinet not only precisely into the space, but the life of my customer.
Last year I paid ~half of my rent, but my rent has always been paid on time and in full. I strive to earn no money, and it's much harder than earning mere cash. There are additional considerations, like friendship, death, and love that get in the way, but if you ask me, those increase the value of goodwill over money all to pieces.
The secret to defeating the NWO of psychopaths that seek to reduce us all to chattel that husbandmen can profit from is not sekrit caves or distant homesteads, although those are fun and nifty in and of themselves, but trailer parks and slums, of tight communities where everyone has each other's backs, where folks visit over a fence while they deploy solar powered clothes dryers, or split a forty on the porch, because this what leads to humanity accessing the illimitable resources beyond the sky. The secret is not a secret at all, but adopting the decentralized means of production suitable to our personal circumstances, and trading amongst each other for things our neighbors make we don't. We need to play a longer game, to accept more decentralization and less money, because money isn't wealth. It just plays it on TV.
We are returning to a society of crafters, not devolving from wage slaves to chattel slavery. Have a hobby you enjoy? Make it a career. Saddled with an upside down mortgage on a McMansion in suburban hell? Dump it and thrive in a bread and butter community of like minded neighbors you can trust, or turn it into apartments (in suitable areas) that can cover the death note (mortgage). We can print solar panels now. Did you know that? Yep, since 2008 dirt cheap inkjet printers can print them on recycled beverage containers.
I learned back in the 1970s to make a windmill out of a Pinto rearend and a Cadillac generator using 1x12 planks for the blades. There are far better repurposed parts to make windmills with today. How about kites, for example? Most of the expense of windmills is the pole, to get them up to where the wind moves faster. Kites don't need poles. They use string. I'm barely going to touch on 3D printers, except to note two things: instead of plastic filament 3D printers that extrude paste, like clay, cement, and chocolate are now available, and in March the first 3D printed spaceship launched off Earth.
The point is not the specific parts and technologies I have mentioned, but the principle. Across every field of industry today, decentralization of the means of production is the cutting edge of technological advance. Decentralization eliminates parasitic losses, which are more than half the cost of production. Those losses are the only income of parasites. Kill Gates doesn't manufacture space toilets in his garage for his fortune. He only parasitizes people that do.
When we custom build our neighborhoods, and create the career of our dreams out of our favorite hobbies, we destroy the wealth and power of our enemies.
You can feel it. Every bizarre leap of the Overton window reeks of desperation. The proclamations of Yuval Hariri that we are just hackable chattel now, of Klaus Schwab that we will own nothing and love it, and that the Chabad Lubavitch President of Ukraine needs to be delivered a constant stream of cash he can siphon off so that he can defeat the Chabad Lubavitch President of Russia that has been siphoning off the cash in Russia for decades (who are both WEF minions, BTW) so that Germany can shutter it's last three nuclear power plants and jack up the price of electricity by half.
The NWO is impossible. They're floundering for any miraculous horror that can confound the emerging paradigm shift, and keep them their fraud of debt based monopoly money. But money, and we see that very clearly, more clearly every bit they increase inflation, isn't wealth. Your good neighbors are wealth. Your nutritious food, that doesn't destroy warbler habitat, that isn't doused with biocides, that doesn't turn your kids, and the frogs, gay, that is wealth. Money can buy wealth, if we are willing to sell it.
I'm not. I have never converted one Hive token into fiat and bought pizza with it. I come here for the real wealth: free speech. Sadly, the more the financializers that rule this plutocracy flag away threats to their political control of Hive, the less valuable Hive becomes. The more they financialize curation by extracting curation rewards, the less valuable posts are in terms of information and entertainment. Opinion flags destroy Hive. It doesn't matter what your opinion is. If you're flagging for any other reason than spam, scams, or plagiarism, you're the enemy of the community, destroying it one free speech at a time - and posting 20 times a day isn't spam, it's productivity. Not only flags, too. Circle jerks, on and on. The real scammers conspire with one another and the more they keep Hive from growing into a big, fat, juicy prize some IRL propagandist - like Sun Yuchen - would want, the more they destroy the community that is the real value of Hive.
As censorship becomes ever more the death throes of the West, strangling democracy and free people everywhere development has enabled the enemedia to mislead, the ability of Hive to deliver people from that stranglehold is decreasing, instead of growing. You can feel that too. Censorship on Hive is free. It doesn't even cost a whale one hive to flag me, or you, or @logiczombie, or @por500bolos. The flaggots are just crushing Hive's growth so that they can prevent more upstarts like marky or the realwolf from jumping in and seizing part of their income, and keeping outsiders from taking the whole thing from them, as Sun Yuchen tried to do. Did do.
Their stakes are golden parachutes, and they'll take a chunk of change when they sell out the Hive, but today they want to keep milking the curation, milking their bots, keeping the crabs in the bucket. I used to think I'd be the guy that shut the lights off, but I think they're already going out in the back rooms. That's why there's no exchange anymore.
This place was full of ideas once. @ned didn't do what Yuchen came to do. He got left behind by @dan, who saw the writing on the wall and moved on to greener pastures, for him, and he tried to put the dream into practice in S. Korea, with oracles, 1a1v, and growth. But Hive is a plutocracy. The plutocrats know that. If their deathgrip slackens, someone elses' get a hold.
Like Lukashenko, like Schrodinger's cat, we're alive or dead, comatose or nascent, temporarily embarrassed or moribund. The fact of the matter, what makes cryptocurrency valuable, isn't the value of the tokens. It isn't riches in terms of money, at all. What makes cryptocurrency valuable is the community that uses them, that builds a decentralized society with them, that eliminates parasitic losses with them. The problem is that folks that get a sizable chunk aren't in it for the community, and are focused on getting more sizable a chunk.
I have not figured out a way to enable them that serve the community most to get the most political power, as @edicted has himself noted. It's clearly obvious plutocracy isn't a shortcut to benevolent dictators, although that argument is easy to make on Hive today because our oligarchs are so benign. Not one dissenter has been tossed from a helicopter here.
Yuval Hariri has one thing right: going forward, society is going to be rid of useless eaters. Whether it's only overlords, or also blue-haired screeching trannies after your children, is up to them. Only people that enable their communities to prosper are going to make it, pun intended.
