O pré-candidato ao Governo de Santa Catarina, João Rodrigues, cumpriu agenda no Sul do Estado na última sexta-feira (19), com passagem por Orleans. A visita integrou um roteiro de pré-campanha que reúne lideranças do PSD, MDB, Progressistas e União Brasil em diferentes regiões catarinenses. Acompanhado do deputado federal Carlos Chiodini, apontado como pré-candidato a vice-governador na chapa, João Rodrigues participou de encontros com lideranças políticas, empresários e representantes da imprensa, apresentando propostas para áreas como infraestrutura, educação, turismo e desenvolvimento econômico. Durante a passagem pela região, Rodrigues criticou a falta de investimentos em grandes obras de infraestrutura em Santa Catarina. Como exemplo, citou a situação da SC-370, rodovia que liga Tubarão a Orleans. Segundo ele, a estrada apresenta condições precárias e já deveria ter passado por um processo de duplicação. O pré-candidato também destacou que o Estado possui capacidade financeira para realizar investimentos de maior porte. Outro tema abordado foi o potencial econômico da região de Laguna. Rodrigues afirmou ter constatado o abandono do porto pesqueiro do município e defendeu sua reativação como forma de impulsionar a indústria pesqueira catarinense, especialmente diante das dificuldades enfrentadas pelo setor em Itajaí. Na área da educação, o pré-candidato defendeu a ampliação dos investimentos no ensino médio e na formação profissionalizante. Para ele, a qualificação técnica é uma ferramenta importante para ampliar oportunidades de emprego e renda, principalmente para jovens que buscam inserção mais rápida no mercado de trabalho. Rodrigues também destacou a necessidade de fortalecer o turismo por meio de parcerias público-privadas (PPPs). Entre as propostas apresentadas está a elaboração de um plano estratégico para a região serrana, com foco na atração de investidores e no desenvolvimento de novos empreendimentos turísticos. Sobre a situação do trecho do Morro dos Cavalos, na BR-101, o pré-candidato sugeriu que o Governo do Estado elabore um projeto alternativo ao modelo atualmente debatido para a região. A proposta seria apresentar uma solução considerada mais rápida e menos onerosa ao governo federal e à concessionária responsável pela rodovia. Durante o encontro, o deputado estadual Antídio Lunelli também se manifestou. Ele afirmou que pretende representar Santa Catarina com foco na austeridade administrativa e na defesa do setor produtivo, especialmente da classe empresarial e do agronegócio. Lunelli também ressaltou a importância de uma candidatura construída no próprio Estado. Já o presidente da Assembleia Legislativa de Santa Catarina, Júlio Garcia, destacou que o grupo político está percorrendo diversas regiões antes das convenções partidárias previstas para julho. Segundo ele, a aliança formada por PSD, MDB, União Brasil e Progressistas busca apresentar uma alternativa de governo para os catarinenses nas eleições de 2026. A agenda em Orleans faz parte de uma série de encontros que vêm sendo realizados pelo grupo político em diferentes municípios do Estado, visando ampliar o diálogo com lideranças regionais e consolidar o projeto eleitoral para o próximo pleito estadual.

WLS IS LIFESTYLE Imported Story https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYHcS-OuFv1/?igsh=bjJhank2dG02dHJw GOING BALLISTIC Bergmann-Schoch v. Davenport: New Jersey's Hollow-Point Ammunition Ban Challenged Under Second Amendment A lawsuit in New Jersey challenges the state's prohibition on hollow-point ammunition as unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. Plaintiffs argue the ban creates a Catch-22 by allowing only full metal jacket rounds while denying the right to ‘military arms.' The state's motion to dismiss is rebutted, dismissing historical analogies as rooted in racial prejudice. Hawaii Legislature Adjourns Sine Die: Defeat of Anti-Gun Bills HB2062, SB2503, SB2517, SB2575, SB2576, SB2720 The Hawaii State Legislature adjourned sine die on May 8, 2026, resulting in the defeat of several anti-gun bills aimed at expanding red flag laws, funding gun buybacks, elevating penalties, broadening prohibited persons lists, and creating a firearm injury restitution fund. These measures raised due process concerns by potentially suspending Second Amendment rights via civil proceedings and imposing felony penalties without full evidentiary hearings. NRA-ILA credits NRA members and supporters for contacting lawmakers to secure this victory. NBC News Report on Kyle Rittenhouse Spider Bite (Kenosha, Wisconsin Case) NBC News tweeted about Kyle Rittenhouse's hospitalization from a venomous spider bite, framing his 2020 Kenosha, Wisconsin self-defense shootings as ‘opening fire at a 2020 civil rights rally.' The Bearing Arms article criticizes this as biased misrepresentation, omitting the riot context and Rittenhouse's acquittal on self-defense grounds. It argues this exemplifies media disinformation against gun owners and Second Amendment supporters. Mississippi DeSoto County Billboard: ‘Firing Squad Is Legal. Think Twice' A billboard in DeSoto County, Mississippi, next to I-55 warns would-be criminals that ‘Firing Squad Is Legal. Think Twice.' DeSoto County District Attorney Matthew Barton states it promotes aggressive prosecution of violent criminals entering the state. The message emphasizes that Mississippi does not coddle violent crime and firing squad executions are legal there. Harmeet Dhillon: The Term ‘Assault Weapons' Is ‘Just a Made-Up Category' Harmeet Dhillon describes ‘assault weapons' as a made-up category and epithet applied to effective and popular firearms like the AR-15. The term originated from Democrats in the 1990s for a federal ban from 1994 to 2004, which a study found did not reduce gun crime or violence lethality. Discussion references national federal policy and Denver's local ban. United Gun Shop v. Capital One and Melio (Maryland) United Gun Shop, a Maryland FFL gun dealer, filed a lawsuit against Capital One and Melio after being denied access to Capital One's bill-paying service, citing the business as a ‘restricted industry.' Payments worked from December 2024 until March 2025, followed by deplatforming and formal denial in March 2026. The suit invokes President Trump's August 2025 Executive Order ‘Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans,' addressing discrimination against lawful firearm businesses. REVIEWS Review: A in your face 5 squares. I disagree what a lot of what they say, but damnit if I also dont find myself agreeing with a lot of what they say. Always entertaining, rarely boring, definitely infuriating – especially when Aaron digs in on something. And one of the few places where the advertisers are actually vetted, with actual use experience reviews, and honesty when things go down. Review: FedsRGay 5 stars. A sad sack Jew, a retard with anger issues, a man with a blownout Anus, a communist thumb and their slightly weird uncle from Colorado walk into a podcast studio. This is not a joke about the special Olympic's or the Democratic Party! This is the cast of the number one rated gun podcast on the firearms radio network! This dumpster fire is wildly entertaining and sometimes even educational. Occasionally they have cool sponsors on the show that seem slightly less retardy. Quality entertainment overall. I give it a solid 5 squares. PS: Jeremey is not a cunt. But AA ron is. PPS: I wrote this review once before but baguettes on iTunes didn't publish it.

The Guest of Honour: Dr. Philippe Couillard, former Premier of Québec (2014-2018) and senior consultant, StrategyCorp From Montréal's controversial but innovative REM light rail project to balancing four consecutive provincial budgets, Dr. Couillard opens up about governing with private sector partners, modernizing public infrastructure with PPPs and embracing political risk. The former provincial Liberal leader reflects on how to ensure infrastructure projects are built to last and how bureaucratic overload is threatening innovation. He also challenges conventional views on profitability in public projects and calls for smarter, more collaborative models, drawing on lessons from European healthcare and public transit. For this special 2025 finale, Mike and Dan also get practical advice from Dr. Couillard for business leaders hoping to partner with government—and why understanding Québec culture is essential to any fruitful collaboration.

INFRACAST: Concessões, Parcerias Público-Privadas e Privatizações
Neste episódio do Infracast, Fernando Marcato e Isadora Cohen exploram o período que marcou a virada do saneamento brasileiro: o marco legal de 2007 (Lei 11.445).Fernando retoma o contexto do início dos anos 2000, após a saída das empresas estrangeiras e o amadurecimento dos grupos nacionais, como Odebrecht, OAS, Carioca Engenharia e Galvão Engenharia, que passaram de grandes construtoras a operadoras de concessões.A conversa destaca como a Lei 11.445/2007 trouxe previsibilidade e formalidade às relações entre estados e municípios, obrigando a existência de contratos com metas, revisões tarifárias e regulação independente. Essa estrutura inaugurou a cultura da regulação no saneamento, até então inexistente, e incentivou o surgimento das primeiras agências reguladoras estaduais.Fernando explica que, pela primeira vez, o debate não era mais “público ou privado”, mas sim sobre ter um arcabouço regulatório sólido que garantisse segurança jurídica e qualidade na prestação do serviço. Ele mostra como o setor privado também se tornou um agente impulsionador dessa mudança, pressionando pela criação de regras estáveis e contratos claros.Um episódio fundamental para entender como o marco de 2007 estruturou o setor, introduziu a regulação moderna e abriu caminho para o avanço das concessões e PPPs que hoje definem o saneamento no Brasil.Fique por aqui e acompanhe esta série que está puro ouro de conhecimento histórico.Somos o primeiro podcast brasileiro voltado exclusivamente para temas relacionados à infraestrutura.#utilidadepublica #infraestrutura #saneamento #historiadobrasil

Don't forget to get some pics with the cast to claim your free shirt. - Dear WLS Jakey Poo - Which truck stops do you guys work as lot snakes? Shawn sounds familiar, I just can't place it. Anyway, I'm set to "inherit" my great-grandfather's hunting rifle. It's a turn-of-the-century model, not sure what year exactly yet, but it's a Remington slide action in 35 Remington. I know nothing about performance, etc. You think I'd be safe to shoot it? It's for sure in heirloom territory. I don't have any use plans for it. Maybe a wall hanger if I can find a place my wife can handle for it. Anyway, thanks for the info boys (I think, don't want to misgender these days) Ps, I don't actually care about Aaron's gender or offending anyone. Pps, I miss Lil. Ppps, no homo. Pppps, SSB. Ppppps, is this joke old and dumb yet? Pppppps, just like shawn and aaron, lol Tony D - "Looking to get a sidearm for hiking and camping. I spend a lot of time in the White Mountains in New Hampshire. For the most part our wildlife is pretty easy to deal with. We have black bears but they tend to be small and for the most part they're more afraid of people than we are of them. The next biggest predators we have are coyotes, and bobcats, which I'm not particularly worried about, and fisher cats which, while creepy as fuck if you hear them at night, aren't really a threat (seriously look that shit up, they sound like screaming women). We also have timber rattlesnakes but they're rare enough to be a non-issue. Here's where it gets interesting, there is one animal in the woods of northern New England that scares me and it's the moose. When I say this people tend to say, “what's the big deal? It's just big deer, right?” Fuck no. I don't care how big you think a moose is, it's bigger than that. Picture a clydesdale with six foot antlers and cloven hooves and you'll have a rough approximation. They fear nothing and they move through the woods surprisingly quietly so it's pretty easy to startle one if you don't know it's there. In springtime the young bulls get all sex-nuts and retard-strong and occasionally decide to take out their sexual frustration by murdering the fuck out of whatever they can find. And god help you if you come across a cow with a baby. Mama moose will stomp your ass into jelly and go right back to munching on lake weed if you so much as look at her offspring cross-eyed. So my question is this, is 10mm hardcast enough to take down leftover ice-age megafauna too dumb to go extinct? Or should I be looking at something bigger?" Aaron Not Moses - Rebuilding a backyard range and I have a few different places to put it, no gas lines nearby. I am mostly surrounded by woods but there are some properties that have buildings on them or may be building on them in the future. Two questions, how high should a berm be in relation to the targets? When placing the berm and shooting direction how far should the closest building be away? 1 mile, 2 miles, or more We are shooting anything from 22-6.5 Creedmoor, but who knows when we will buy a cannon. Tyson S - Recently started chemo and due to having a port on my right side they told not shoot for fear of damaging it. My time line is finishing chemo ( should be cured very treatable prognosis) in a couple months but the ports stays in for a year or so. I'm going to try to learn to shoot left handed now a skill that I never thought I'...
In this episode of The Nice Guy Show, hosts Chuck Chapman, Faisal Khokhar, and Ari Graff dive deep into what it means to be a confident husband and how to achieve an integrated marriage. Chuck Chapman, the focus of this episode, shares insights into his "Confident Husband Solution" program, designed to help men navigate the complexities of marriage and overcome the Nice Guy Syndrome. Chuck discusses the evolution of his program, explaining how he identified a need to specifically support married men struggling with their relationships, often due to their "nice guy" tendencies.

The Infrastructure Minister maintains that more public-private partnerships won't mean more privatisation of assets. Chris Bishop's unveiled a new framework for the PPPs to encourage the government to work with developers to build key projects. He told Mike Hosking concerns of privatisation are unfounded. Bishop says while projects would be built by private developers, ownership would remain with the Crown. He says that it's just project delivery method and a procurement method, but at the end of the day it sits on the Government's balance sheet.

The UK Agri-Tech Centre conducted a feasibility study with Kent fruit growers, Rumwood Green, and crop protection advisers, Landseer Ltd., on the project - 'Apple Orchard Health: Evaluating Hyperspectral Imagery for Disease Detection and Biostimulant Efficacy' - with funding from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and UKRI Transforming Food Production Challenge. UK fruit growers are facing a major challenge, exacerbated by the diminishing availability of plant protection products (PPPs) controlling crop disease. The phasing out of traditional PPPs, driven by environmental concerns, has added complexity to this issue. Despite the utilisation of PPPs, UK apple growers experience an annual crop loss of approximately 10-12% due to apple scab, a fungal disease. Without PPPs, this figure would skyrocket to 70-80%. However, there is a promising solution on the horizon by using biostimulants. These are natural substances or micro-organisms that can enhance the natural defences and overall health of the plants when applied to them. One significant challenge of biostimulants is assessing their effectiveness as they operate distinctively from conventional PPPs. Biostimulants serve as preventative measures rather than curative, necessitating timely application before visible disease symptoms emerge. Accurately timing their use is difficult, as the critical phase of scab infection remains invisible to the naked eye. The project aim was to address the challenge of evaluating the effectiveness of biostimulants and timing their usage, by utilising advanced technologies such as hyperspectral cameras and drones. Hyperspectral sensors can capture and analyse a wide range of frequencies of light very finely, which is like being able to accurately identify and measure hundreds of colours outside of what the human eye can see. This provides a detailed and precise characterisation of objects or materials based on the unique way they reflect light, as a spectral fingerprint. By identifying these unique spectral fingerprints for crop diseases, like apple scab, and also determining which can indicate the efficacy of biostimulants, in future, we can develop an affordable camera for growers to be able to detect these fingerprints. This camera will serve as an early warning system, helping prevent disease spread, enhancing crop yield and operational efficiency, and reducing reliance on traditional PPPs. Eliot Dixon, Head of Robotics and AI at the UK Agri-Tech Centre, said, "This was a fast-paced proof of concept project designed to provide evidence for both the efficacy of biostimulant in apple scab control, but also in spectral imaging as a method for detecting apple scab. "For the UK Agri-Tech Centre, this project highlights how our spectral imaging capabilities can be used in product development for both remote sensing and plant protection products. We are very pleased to have successfully shown how lab-based spectral imaging can be successfully transferred to a commercial farm." Michael Parker, Coldstore and Compliance Manager at Rumwood Green Farm Ltd said, "This trial has been very challenging to reproduce results in the field similar to previous in-lab testing of detecting early signs of scab using specific wavelengths. "Despite the challenges, we are a step closer towards early scab detection using the hyperspectral camera. The positive results shown of the biostimulant used will hopefully encourage more growers to use biostimulants as part of their scab control, not only relying on conventional pesticide programs." Stephen Tully, Director at Landseer, said, "With disease control becoming increasingly challenging due to changes in plant protection regulations and unpredictable weather, this project aimed to validate the efficacy of biostimulants to support their routine use and investigate the feasibility of an affordable early detection system for apple scab. "This feasibility study has delivered encouraging results...

What purpose do they serve? Considerations when adopting a PEP The value of research, self-education, and analysis in considering a PEP Key Takeaways:Understanding the roles and responsibilities involved in running a retirement plan is more important than ever. Benefit managers must carefully consider whether to handle tasks internally or outsource them to experts. In this context, Pooled Employer Plans (PEPs) have emerged as a viable solution for employers. PEPs are essentially 401(k) or 403(b) plans that combine unassociated employers, while Pooled Plan Providers (PPPs) serve as the ultimate fiduciaries managing and overseeing these plans.Adopting a PEP may require employers to relinquish some control over plan design and fund lineup. PEP providers offer varying degrees of flexibility and customization options for plan design and investment lineups.When considering a PEP, employers should conduct thorough research, should consider engaging in an RFI or RFP process, and evaluate multiple providers to determine the best fit for their needs. Advisors, too, should educate themselves about PEPs to better serve their clients and avoid losing them to competitors who offer PEP solutions.“A PEP… is for any employer who's looking to offload and outsource as much of the operations and the fiduciary responsibilities as possible. Can they ever get rid of it 100%? No. Because they do have to select which PEP they're going into and that in itself is a fiduciary duty.” - Mike DiCensoConnect with Mike DiCenso:Website: https://www.myretirementace.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-dicenso-a479b16/ Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/
Key Takeaways: Mainstream vs Alternative vs Independent: Recent controversies in alternative media signal a broader shift towards decentralization and fragmentation across various sectors, highlighted by disputes involving key personalities and companies. Evolution of Public-Private Partnerships: The traditional public-private partnerships are evolving into complex civic partnerships where media and technology blur lines between civilian and intelligence operations. How to Navigate New Media Landscape: Analyze the core-message and economic models. Article advocates for "Value For Value" to maintain ethical integrity and avoid the pitfalls of traditional monetization strategies. What is up with all the drama in Alternative Media recently? I was inspired to start writing this piece a few weeks ago when longtime popular researcher Amazing Polly (@FringeViews) started making public accusations against a well known alternative health company, The Wellness Company (TWC). TWC have partnerships with many content creators and personalities in the Alternative Media space (some of whom I consider friends). While the initial concerns about TWC brought up by Amazing Polly are entirely valid (connections between founder Foster Coulson and Erik Prince [Blackwater]), the subsequent events that unfolded beyond this particular situation screams of a much larger sociological and technological phenomenon worth exploring for any independently thinking truth seeker. While the TWC situation disrupted the perceived unity amidst the crowd of "awake" people perusing the Internet, the drama spilled into the heart of Alternative Media when Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) left the Daily Wire. This event speaks to how far we are on the operation to split apart the Judeo-Christian ethic that the founders used as core principles of our country . The drama that broke out concerning Steven Crowder (@scrowder) (divorce, ex-employee) only adds fuel to the fact that the conservative superstars who rose to popularity in the last decade, are now your main characters in the reality TV show called Alternative Media. We've called it AMIC (Alternative Media Industrial Complex). There are other names who have similar names for the sentiment. We all know that Mainstream Legacy Media is pretty much dead at this point, at least in the format it was delivered in the past. But the question will be, can the Alternative Media exist without them? @Axios published an article titled "Shards of Glass: Inside Media's 12 Splintering Realities," which suspiciously tries to do something similar to what this piece is about. But their take is more about the platforms and "hive minds" that are quite general and not too helpful IMHO. What I will attempt to do here is provide a template by which anyone can use to analyze the content you are consuming today. This is an especially important exercise, as it may reveal uncomfortable truths about your favorite podcasters, youtubers, tiktokers, x-ers, etc. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. ~1 Peter 5:8 C19 was the Great Reset Can you believe it's been over 4 years since the lockdowns? If you're reading this, congratulations! You survived a highly orchestrated worldwide trauma based mind control session that could only be possible on the doorsteps of a true technocratic dystopia. Human interaction in the first world became exclusively virtual. Leaders of all strata were forced to make totalitarian decisions. And economic infrastructure was rattled for the first time in over a decade. No place was this more obvious than Mainstream Corporate Media. It can be stated that C19 was one giant initiation ritual for the general public, brought to you by those, knowingly or not, doing the bidding of the principalities and powers that think they have control over the earth and its people. THE GREAT EXODUS When we (@CanaryCryRadio) started to notice long time talking head personalities leave, get fired, or "let go" from their legacy trad-media fortresses, many were forced to go "independent." We watched as they started forming alliances and groups in the "wild west" of online virtual media by either joining established alternative platforms, or going solo publishing blogs, podcasts, YouTube, TikTok etc. The folks who were once celebrated as the faces and voices of the establishment, suddenly found themselves alongside random people like you and I, competing for attention, clicks, and a paycheck. Some have found their way into government or private think tanks (@ChrisCillizza,@ChrisGloninger). This diaspora of people coming out of the traditional media was/is happening to almost every sector or industry, including healthcare. In fact, it could be argued that health/wellness is THE most impacted when it comes to a post-C19 psyoped world. An exodus from the Big Pharma economic model seems to have been one tentacle of the greater plan to restructure everything. Or at least an excuse to show how broken it is, in order to implement the stuff that will "fix" it. Good ole' problem-reaction-solution. Of course, such a massive beast like Big Pharma can't flip their cash cow infrastructure on a dime. They have an entire generation of customers hooked in, til' death-do-them-part. It would take a decade at least. In the meantime, it would be beneficial for someone to cast a large net to capture all the disgruntled and disenfranchised citizens exiting the trust funnel of the traditional institutional pillars. It seems that's what the Wellness Company did. Some might call it a smart and savvy business decision, others might call it a direct operation from the intelligence playbooks. As you'll see, the lines that separate these things are blurring. And it could be argued, that the final shift will come with the economic infrastructure, not just medical. THE INFILTRATION To that effect, I think Amazing Polly and others before her have done a pretty good job bringing attention to individuals who started the Wellness Company, and some of their ties to former private military contractors like BlackWater (Erik Prince openly assisted James O'Keefe and the Veritas Project learn how to do undercover work). The sentiment had been that such training turned Veritas Project into a "patriotic intelligence outfit." It was likely also the reason for its undoing as well. Since Amazing Polly published her video on the TWC, complete with a map of content creators who are either sponsored or have affiliates with them, she found herself being attacked and eventually doxxed. I'm not particularly in support of doxxing anyone, but the information that did surface about her was, at best, bad optics, and at worst, revealed some uncomfortable truths. In short, her husband works for a company in Canada whose position required Government security clearance. I get it. Not everyone who has a Gov security clearance is part of the lizard club, but as I stated in the post that you can read here, I suggested directly to Amazing Polly, that it's bad optics. Especially if that was something she was trying to hide from the public (which she has a right to do), since she likely understood that it would be bad optics coming from someone who has a decent sized following, making content exposing "the system". Her husbands LinkedIn account has since been deleted. If you want to learn more about her reporting and perspective, you can see the video she published here, and the surrounding commentary about being doxxed etc. In my personal opinion, the Amazing Polly vs TWC drama is just one tree in a much larger forest. Namely a sociological and technological phenomenon of decentralization (maybe even balkanization) of everything from journalism, to healthcare, to intelligence operations itself! The implications are more dire for all of us in one way, but a cause for hope in another. DON'T GET TRIGGERED I said in a recent podcast episode of Canary Cry NewsTalk, that "we are all being turned into intelligence operatives." What I meant was that every citizen (especially those on the internet) are effectively agents that represent something...or someone. In that context, maybe it was good that Erik Prince helped Project Veritas do undercover work to expose corruption, especially in the traditional right-left paradigm that we've all been forced into. Or perhaps it speaks to how the true social engineers have already been working on creating the parallel economy to the Mainstream Media, by building out the Alternative Media. The necessities of such an operation would naturally mean that they would have to mingle with the general population. This bridged the traditional intelligence operatives into civilian life, and weaponized civilian life to become more like intelligence operations. This is especially true when it comes to news media. What this all means is that you and I are all being forced into this weird period of time when anything we say, do, write, or publish online, can be used for agendas that far exceed the initial intent of that piece of content. We've all become messengers in the 5th generation war. The rise of the MIC (Military Industrial Complex) in the 20th century was marked by the partnerships between Private (Corporations) and Public (Government) sectors; Public-Private Partnerships. PPPs were designed to create the gray-area economic apparatus that would effectively secure the United States as the first benefactor in diplomacy and military affairs worldwide. Corporations that build really expensive and dangerous stuff, and Governments who come up with reasons to need them. And we-the-people get to pay for it. What could go wrong? It is true that this very apparatus is currently running wild, instigating the poly-chaos of World War 3, where geopolitical and trans-religious tensions will unground the loyalties of prior generations, and instead, form new conflicts between networks. But this cannot be possible without the tools to make it happen. As the MIC built "stuff" over decades, certain patented technologies and their commercial products began embedding themselves into our public communications infrastructure. As of 2024, there are smart phones in the hands of more than 6 billion people around the world. This distribution has been a massive vehicle for the rise of "Alternative Media." Even before the Trump era that started the greater public awareness of corruption and downfall of legacy media, a thriving Alternative Media synonymously existed alongside Independent Media. In fact, the two phrases meant essentially the same thing, mostly apparent via their economic models. Much like the title "Alternative Rock" when I was growing up, anything "ALT" simply meant, "stuff that's not being pushed by the mainstream (record labels, commercials, news outlets etc.)." It is supposed to represent content not economically incentivized by a third party, who wield the power to facilitate and manufacture a spot light for the subject. The music industry is a great analogy because we lived through the decentralization of economic viability for musicians through the rise of the Internet. Big record labels were forced to go more and more shallow as true talent were able to exist more or less independently or by way of starting their own record labels (alternative). As avenues and opportunities to build one's own economic fortresses increased, the lines between mainstream and alternative/independent became blurred. Mainstream has increasingly become nothing better than the vehicle for pure propaganda. But much of Alternative Media thrives its existence on calling out and exposing the lies of the mainstream. Without the Mainstream Media, Alternative Media is nothing. There is a symbiosis, a manufactured paradigm war, to keep each other alive. Thus, as Alternative Media has matured into the New Mainstream, a new distinction has become clear. Alternative vs Independent. The maturing indicates that we have reached critical mass on the decentralization and distribution of military grade comm technology. It's why we are currently going through the adoption of #Bitcoin, where pseudonymity of transacting on a trust-less immutable ledger benefits both the intel operatives and great grandma living on the other side of the world alike. In fact, the transition to go from online to on-chain is WELL under way. But in this new paradigm where the old ways of PPPs are exposed, new types of operations most certainly exist. Especially if it can assist the new generation of social engineers to transition from the train their forefathers built, onto a shiny new rocket ship. It's a lot to process, but I hope you get something out of how I'm working through this stuff to navigate the new landscape of millions to billions of voices all screaming into the database, competing to win the attention of the masses for just one moment to deliver a message. The Evolution of PPPs Parallels to Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) like Public-Public Partnerships (PuPs) have also been around in past decades, where governments partner with non-profits instead of corporations. Highly controlled and tactical messages sent through, what was at the time, the advent of modern media; Newspapers, Magazines, TV/Radio stations is one thing (there were only so many when I was growing up), but perhaps even more powerful are/were the pulpits who reinforced the messages (501c3, non-profits, Truman's Psychological Strategy Board). As we find ourselves in this chaotic period a quarter of the way into the 21st century, the word "public" in the old PPP sense (Government), has become rather obsolete. No longer are our governments, especially at the federal level, representing the will of the people. Hence, the word "public" ought to be given back "to the people" as it were. As such, we might be in new kinds of manufactured "partnerships." Specifically a "Civic Partnership," meaning the general public, largely measured in attention and clicks. These are more akin to "social contracts" between a creator and their audiences. Other synonyms like "tribes" have been used, but I stuck with Civic because it implies public duty, especially in online media that covers world events and news. The labels I'm about to list here are not official, not taken from any public document (although informed by them), nor are they fully developed. They also ought to be considered on a spectrum, not hard lines. As you'll discover, it's not just "us" versus "them" anymore. It's really all of us competing with one another in this new digital citizen panopticon as we begin to find our virtual homes in whatever Network States we identify with most (@balajis). Jesus said in Matthew 24:7 "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom..." In this new era, it might be appropriate to understand it as "Network against Network." Since the modern network is defined by code, we can reference how all of this goes back to the power of the words and symbols. If we are careless with our tongue, we may fall into the trap of unintentionally misleading our fellow citizens. COVERT-CIVIC PARTNERSHIPS (CCPs) I'd like to start off by suggesting the Covert-Civic Partnerships (CCPs...ironic

In this episode, Andrea evaluates the impact of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in education - what we have learned from past mistakes and what we know about future opportunities. While PPPs have demonstrated significant positive impacts, challenges such as ensuring equity, maintaining accountability, and addressing potential privatization concerns require careful consideration.
