February 13, 2025 - Julian Assange is now free and recovering from his long, malicious ordeal. We wish him and his family all the very best. He is a hero and paid a high price for his efforts on behalf of truth and freedom.

A lot of people know the what about Julian and WikiLeaks - that they published secret information - but they don’t know the why. That is unfortunate, because the thinking behind all the leaks is both brilliant and illuminating.

WikiLeaks, like Bitcoin, came from the cypherpunks. In particular, WikiLeaks was spawned by a cypherpunk group that formed spontaneously in Melbourne, Australia.

In other words, WikiLeaks is the creation of some smart guys who were inspired by Timothy C. May, Eric Hughes, Murray Rothbard and a few others. Assange was part of this group and an intriguing thinker in his own right.

Julian explained what WikiLeaks would be doing, and why, back in 2006. Given the worldwide recognition of WikiLeaks, it’s a little crazy that this is so little known and discussed, but I’ll do my part to change that.

Assange starts out by describing modern governance as conspiracy. He invokes Teddy Roosevelt, who said, “Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.”

Assange calls these conspirators “neocorporatists,” referring to the entire complex of legislators, bureaucrats and the corporations to whom they sell “access” and legislation.

He goes on to describe them as existing in elaborate networks, a theme that was the subject of a study in 2011 by Stefania Vitali, James B. Glattfelder, and Stefano Battiston, entitled The Network of Global Corporate Control.

These networks - the real power behind the apparent power - are WikiLeaks’ actual targets, not the governments they may seem to be addressing. This is the first thing to understand about WikiLeaks.

What Assange wants to affect is communication inside these networks. This passage explains why fairly well:

“We see conspiratorial interactions among the political elite… the primary planning methodology behind maintaining or strengthening authoritarian power… these plans are concealed by successful authoritarian powers.”

WikiLeaks was designed to hurt power that hides its intentions.

But merely unmasking those intentions is not the goal; Assange, brilliantly, goes after something deeper than that.

Assange writes, “Not every conspirator trusts or knows every other conspirator even though all are connected. Some are on the fringe of the conspiracy, others… [may] be a bridge between important sections or groupings of the conspiracy.”

He goes on to say that such a network can be disrupted by “distorting or restricting the information available to it,” by “unstructured attacks on [its] links,” by dividing the network by cutting links.

Then he adds this, “A conspiracy sufficiently engaged in this manner is no longer able to comprehend its environment and plan robust action.”

This is Assange’s goal. He wants to stop the conspiracy from trusting itself. The goal of WikiLeaks is to prevent a network of this type from communicating with itself.

When WikiLeaks publishes the Democrat National Committee’s dirty secrets (to pick just one example), it’s not trying to drive public outrage, as reasonable as that might be. Rather, it’s trying to make the conspirators distrust each other and especially to distrust their communications, because if those links go, networked power goes with them.

I hope you can see how brilliant the WikiLeaks strategy really is. They are not reacting after the events, as in exposing dirty laundry. They are acting in advance, disrupting their enemy’s ability to function in the future.

Here is where it gets even better. A network of this type invariably reacts to leaks by closing itself tighter against untrusted links. By closing itself off from intrusion, the network becomes less and less able to engage with anything outside itself; and the less it engages with things outside itself, the less it can enact power outside itself.

Once the obscure conduits of elite power become so paranoid that they can no longer conspire among themselves, WikiLeaks has won.

As Assange writes, “The more secretive or unjust an organization is, the more leaks induce fear and paranoia in its leadership and planning coterie… in a world where leaking is easy, secretive or unjust systems are nonlinearly hit.”

I find this to be a brilliant strategy. More than this will be required to bring our world out of its current barbaric age, but this is a fascinating and important part.

Before I close, I’d like to acquaint you with the mindset that produced this. Here is an edited passage from Assange’s book, Cypherpunks: Freedom and the Future of the Internet.

“The new world of the Internet longed for independence. But states and their friends moved to control our new world. They leached into the veins and arteries of our new societies, gobbling up every relationship expressed or communicated, every webpage read, every message sent and every thought googled, and then stored this knowledge, undreamed of power, in top secret warehouses, forever.

“Then the state reflected what it had learned back into the physical world, to start wars, to target drones, to manipulate UN committees and trade deals, and to do favors for its vast network of industries, insiders and cronies.

“If this isn’t the kind of world you want, I encourage you to get busy building a better one. Mere complaining will never get the job done.”

CINCINNATI, Ohio (PNN) - February 12, 2025 - A 12-year-old Indiana girl has been barred from receiving a heart transplant due to her refusal to get the poisonous jab against COVID-19 and the flu, according to her parents.

Adaline Deal, who is related to Vice President J.D. Vance by marriage, suffers from two rare heart conditions and had hoped to receive the transplant at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where she has been treated for nearly a decade, the New York Post reports.

Adaline, adopted from China at the age of four, has lived with Ebstein’s anomaly and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, two severe heart conditions that require a transplant. Her family was prepared for the day when the procedure would be necessary, but their plans were halted when they learned that criminal Cincinnati Children’s Hospital unlawfully mandates vaccinations for transplant patients.

The hospital, according to the family, refused to make an exemption for Adaline despite the parents citing religious objections. Janeen Deal, Adaline’s mother, expressed disappointment with the decision.

“I thought, wow. So it’s not about the (child). It’s not about saving her life,” she told The Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Deal family, who are nondenominational Christians, explained that their decision to not vaccinate Adaline was a result of their religious convictions.

“The Holy Spirit put it on our hearts,” Janeen said, sharing that her family believes vaccines are unsafe.

Vaccines, including those for COVID-19 (Ed. Note: the so-called COVID-19 vaccine is not a vaccine, either by legal or medical definitions) and the flu are recommended for transplant recipients, as they are more vulnerable to infections due to their weakened immune systems, according to the Post. Dr. Camille Kotton, the clinical director of transplant and immunocompromised host infectious diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital, explained that transplant patients face a higher risk of infection, particularly in the first year following the procedure.

She also emphasized that patients like Adaline, with serious heart conditions, are at a higher risk of death if they contract COVID-19.

Despite these risks, Janeen Deal remains firm in her stance. She believes that her family, including their 11 other children, would not have any issues with COVID-19 after Adaline’s transplant.

“We’ll take it as we can if it happens,” she said. “But I know I cannot put this (vaccine) in her body knowing what we know and how we feel about it.”

While Cincinnati Children’s Hospital declined to comment directly on Adaline’s case, a spokesman stated that the hospital follows science research and best practices to guide clinical decisions. (Ed. Note: the outlaw hospital does not follow science, which has proven that the COVID-19 “vaccines” are poisonous and have killed or permanently disabled millions of people around the world. The only benefit the poisonous jab provides is massive profit to the pharmaceutical corporations.)

“We tailor care plans to each patient in collaboration with their family to ensure the safest, most effective treatment,” said Bo McMillan, a spokesman for the hospital.

Now Adaline’s parents are seeking treatment at another transplant center, one that does not require poisonous vaccinations. They have set up a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the costs of the transplant, which has raised over $50,000 as of Wednesday morning.

In response to concerns over unlawful vaccination requirements for medical treatments, Rep. Jennifer Gross (Ohio) is co-sponsoring new legislation aimed at addressing the discriminatory practices against unvaccinated individuals unlawfully imposed by hospitals. The proposed bill, the Conscientious Right to Refuse Act, seeks to prevent Ohio hospitals from denying medical care, including transplant procedures, to children based on their vaccination status.

MADISON, Wisconsin (PNN) - February 11, 2025 - A surprising new study suggests that COVID-19 may not have originated from bats or pangolins, but rather from a rare fusion of human diseases.

The origins of COVID-19 remain uncertain despite extensive research. A new study published in Advances in Biomarker Sciences and Technology (ABST) takes an AI-driven approach to analyze DNA methylation patterns at 865,859 CpG sites in blood samples from early COVID-19 patients.

Led by Zhengjun Zhang from the University of Wisconsin’s Department of Statistics, the study used max-logistic intelligence to identify strong genetic links. The findings suggest that COVID-19 may have resulted from the natural fusion of two rare infectious diseases - glanders and Sennetsu fever - combined with common human illnesses.

This challenges the widely accepted belief that the virus originated in bats or pangolins, raising the possibility that previous studies placed too much emphasis on wildlife origins.

“Establishing such connections across 865,859 CpG sites is quite a challenge, with random correlations occurring at a probability of less than one in ten million,” says Zhang. “However, when factoring in the rarity of these diseases, the odds of discovering a meaningful link drop to just one in one hundred million, further strengthening the validity of these results.”

Max-logistic intelligence has been previously demonstrated in cancer biomarker studies. Unlike traditional AI algorithms or modern machine learning techniques such as random forests, deep learning, and support vector machines, max-logistic intelligence offers greater interpretability, consistency and robustness, making it especially useful for establishing causal relationships.

Zhang emphasized that while identifying reliable biomarkers is critical for scientific progress, many gene markers identified in isolated studies fail in other cohorts, resulting in low or no cross-group commonality.

“DNA methylation, the process by which methyl groups are added to DNA, plays a central role in gene expression and disease development,” explains Zhang. “Errors in methylation can trigger diseases, prompting studies into COVID-19’s DNA methylation patterns.”

BISMARCK, North Dakota (PNN) - February 10, 2025 - In 2012, North Dakota held a referendum to become the first Fascist Police States of Amerika state to abolish property taxes.

The measure aimed to amend the state constitution, eliminating property taxes and requiring the government to find alternative revenue sources.

Proponents argued that property taxes were unnecessary since North Dakota already had ample income from state taxes and oil revenues. They also pointed out that property taxes disproportionately burdened low-income homeowners and senior citizens. Eliminating them, they claimed, would provide financial relief, boost economic growth and attract businesses and residents.

However, a coalition of bureaucrats and special interest groups fought against the referendum.

In the end, voters overwhelmingly rejected the measure - 78% chose to keep their property taxes.

Most people thoughtlessly accept property taxes as a normal part of life - like gravity or the sun setting in the west.

Yet a crucial truth was overlooked: there is no way to fully pay off your property tax obligation.

It never ends - it follows you as long as you own the property, increasing year after year.

This raises fundamental questions.

Do you really own something if you’re forced to make endless, ever-increasing payments just to keep it?

The answer is obvious: No.

You might possess the property, but you don’t truly own it - an important distinction.

Imagine if the mafia imposed a “coffee table tax” in your neighborhood. Every year, they demand $100 for every coffee table in your house - forever. If your coffee table increases in value, your payment increases.

Mafia enforcers would assess your coffee tables annually, ensuring they extract more money. Refuse to pay? You’d face threats, violence or the outright confiscation of your coffee tables.

Would you say you own those coffee tables?

Most would recognize this as extortion. Yet, the same people accept government-imposed property taxes without question, paying endlessly for “their” homes, offices and land.

In reality, you are merely renting from the true owner - the government. Stop paying and you’ll quickly learn who really owns your property.

Governments routinely seize homes over unpaid property taxes.

Across North America and Europe, people pay tens of thousands of dollars in property taxes each year - just to live in their own homes; and the burden will only increase because nearly every government is in financial distress.

When politicians need more money, they raise property taxes - like turning a thermostat dial.

That’s why property taxes have nowhere to go but up.

Over a lifetime, it’s entirely possible that the government could extract more in property taxes than the value of the home itself.

Property rights and property taxes are inherently incompatible.

What’s yours should be yours - without having to pay for permission to keep it.

That’s why property taxes are an affront to property rights, which serve as the foundation of civilization itself.

As the great Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises once said, those who enforce, promote and benefit from property taxes are the real anti-civilization forces.

Unless you own property in one of the few places on Earth without property taxes - such as the Cayman Islands - you will be paying ever-increasing amounts for the rest of your life.

As North Dakota’s referendum proved, even when given the rare chance to eliminate property taxes, the average person will fight to keep them.

It’s reminiscent of a pivotal scene from The Matrix, where Morpheus explains to Neo why most people will defend the very system that enslaves them.

“The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged; and many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.”

This same mindset applies to property taxes. Most people are so accustomed to the system that they can’t imagine life without it.
