The British suspended the gold standard at the onset of their entry into WW1, dooming every nation in their empire to the calamity of haphazardly managing their own currency and trade relations. After two world wars, the result was stark: The German, Russian, Turkish, Austrian, Japanese, and Korean monarchs/empires were all dead with only Britain keeping its land and monarchical influence thanks to American muscling.

The British have demonstrated that they will let a century of violence endure if that's what it takes to stay alive. I have no doubt they will shut down the entire Internet to stop the spread of the decrypted contents of that insurance file.

Oh, I have a feeling they actually do.

I do, too. ;D

Sounds like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands.

Did you have any contingency in mind for that?

Yes. Extremes can be met with extremes. I wouldn't play this game if I couldn't counter that.

Correct. Can't shill what you can't understand.

As the eyes increase, the believed themselves to have adapted, (and my long silence form /pol/ helped foster that thought) but in reality, the more eyes appear, the more magnified the the fallacy of the panopticon becomes.

Additionally, the more powerful your enemies are, the more powerful allies you attract.

My canary is up, btw.
