Hubris is the deadliest sin because it often masquerades as virtue.

The hysterical reaction of anti-Trumpers was predictable and I foreshadowed it here for over two years. Companies like Demcast created a mental timebomb through their dishonest strategies (from August 16, 2022):

Media Manipulation
No doubt these people believe they’re “saving the world” but what they’ve done is elect Decepticons and aligned leadership against the majority. Few Americans “wished for decades” to get 87,000 armed IRS agents, a rogue FBI, a COVID death coverup, Ukraine as a money laundering vassal, a tax increase,

A substantial portion of my 2017 DEFCON proposal describes how Trump uses hubris like a ninja uses nunchucks but the "woke" DEFCON reviewers rejected my presentation. Well, here it is, pretty much as predicted, punks!

In Aug, 2023, I described two methods to create systemic failure. Overloading information and censoring information. Well, here we are, punks!.

Systemic Failure
The most interesting part of a system is how it filters input. A filter must strike a balance between blocking malicious data but passing relevant data about external threats and hacking is about understanding these filters. A lax filter allows malicious agents/code to gain control but a strict filter

Most of these shriekers live in digital echo chambers which amplify (Demcast's word, not mine chuckle.gif) egotism in order to sell products. My first ego disease epiphany was at The Fez in Portland, 2014, which closed a few weeks later. Sometimes I wonder if that was a coincidence or a sign.

The Fez
I started data mining the Internet in 1993 for career guidance, even sending a naive email to Bill Gates (never read, most likely). But by 2000, I discovered a greater scope (arbitraging information for money) and became obsessed with extracting meaningful information. But extracting is less powerful than injecting information

Most of the US population still has no idea of what's really going on, which is a re-enactment of Andrew Jackson's Bank War. I put oblique references in the 2017 DEFCON proposal, which, once again, was rejected for political incorrectness.

How Donald Trump Hacked The Planet - 2017
Warning! Too dangerous for DEFCON! This submission for the DEFCON 2017 hacker conference was rejected and I wasn’t surprised, it’s controversial. Abstract: How Donald Trump Hacked The Planet describes how Trump used unique circumstances (the Kondratieff wave, diminishing returns on diversity,etc) and information patterns (memetics) to influence voters and
