Don't tell the people who are gripped by #DronePanic about how many #Starlink satellites #ElonMusk is flying over their private homes every single day.
Software update: Orbiting isn’t a subset of flying—they're distinct. Flying relies on lift and thrust to move through the atmosphere, like birds or planes. Orbiting, on the other hand, happens in space and depends on gravitational forces to keep a body moving along a curved path. Flying overcomes gravity; orbiting works with it.
Satellites do not fly in the traditional sense, like airplanes or birds. Instead, they orbit the Earth or another celestial body by traveling at high speeds while being pulled by the body's gravitational force. This process is called freefall, where the satellite's forward motion balances the pull of gravity, keeping it in orbit.
In a sense, satellites "fly" through space in their orbits, but they do not use wings or air to generate lift like
airplanes do. Instead, they rely on the physics of orbital mechanics, often launched into space using rockets that provide the necessary speed and altitude. Once in orbit, satellites mostly coast along their trajectory without needing constant propulsion.
I guess if by flying that can include falling then maybe they do "fly through space" like a ball "flies through space" by another definition of flying.

Clément Sénéchal : "Les ONG écologistes ont transformé un combat légitime en lutte mondaine"
Propos recueillis par Kévin Boucaud-Victoire
Publié le 13/12/2024 à 18:45
Ancien porte-parole de Greenpeace, Clément Sénéchal publie « Pourquoi l'écologie perd toujours » (Seuil), un essai dans lequel il analyse les impasses dans lesquelles se trouve le mouvement écologiste. Les effets néfastes pour l'environnement de l'activité humaine sont désormais bien connus d'une majorité de la population Mondiale. Pourtant, peu, fort peu de choses changent. Tandis que les responsabilités des plus riches, comme des multinationales ou des gouvernements derrière cette inertie sont souvent soulignées, l'ancien porte-parole de Greenpeace et ex-community manager de Jean-Luc Mélenchon en 2012, Clément Sénéchal, lui, estime que ce ne sont pas les seuls acteurs qui nuisent à cette cause. Dans Pourquoi l'écologie perd toujours (Seuil), son deuxième essai, l'auteur pointe du doigt le mouvement écologiste lui-même. Selon lui, les ONG, milieu qu'il connaît bien, tout comme la majorité des partis écologistes ne sont pas à la hauteur des enjeux, et pire, font également partie du problème. Rencontre.
Marianne : Pour vous l’écologie perd à cause de deux acteurs : les ONG et ses figures politiques.
Clément Sénéchal : Les ONG ont transformé un combat légitime en lutte mondaine, en cause morcelable et rentable. Ce faisant, elles ont contourné la critique du capitalisme pour se contenter d'une écologie de la sensibilisation, que j'appelle « l'écologie du spectacle ». Avec l’idée implicite que de petites prises d’avantages au sein du système pourraient régler le problème, comme si la dégradation environnementale était externe au fonctionnement de la société et non pas intrinsèquement liée à son mode de production.
Cela a donné une écologie des petits pas, essentiellement adressée aux classes bourgeoises sensibilisées, en recherche d’un supplément d'âme pour ne pas avoir à politiser jusqu’au bout leurs « préoccupations » existentielles. Les ONG ont voulu transformer l'économie de marché en écologie de marché. Elles ont produit des revendications compatibles avec les intérêts de la classe dominante et favorables au statu quo. Elles ont ainsi désarmé leur propre cause.
Lorsque vous racontez l’histoire de Greenpeace, il semblerait qu’il ne s’agit pas d’une dérive, mais que l’ONG est ainsi depuis ses débuts ?
Oui, c'est sa raison d'être dès le départ. Greenpeace et les ONG professionnelles n’existent que par leur capacité à attirer des capitaux, et non par leur capacité à constituer une force militante pour créer du rapport de force. Cela les rend dépendantes de l’État et des classes supérieures avides d’engagement par procuration. Elles jouent un rôle de dispositif contre-insurrectionnel. La « société civile » embourgeoisée sert de zone tampon entre le pouvoir et la population.
Viscéralement apartisanes, elles manquent de fait de cohérence politique. C’est pour cela qu’après avoir soutenu le NFP lors des législatives, le directeur de Greenpeace France continuait d’affirmer que l’écologie n’était pas forcément de gauche et considérait le fait de rencontrer Agnès Pannier-Runacher, alors ministre du gouvernement scélérat de Michel Barnier, comme faisant partie du « job ». Ce qui revient à rendre les adversaires de l’écologie fréquentables et le déni des urnes acceptable.
Et quel est le problème avec les Écologistes ?
Ils ont dépolitisé l’écologie au sens où ils l'ont mal politisée. En Europe, les partis écologistes naissent dans la foulée des ONG, dans les années 1970-80. Pendant longtemps, ils se sont prétendus supérieurs aux clivages politiques – « ni de droite, ni de gauche ». Résultat : ils sont en décalage permanent avec la réalité du rapport de force politique.
Ils ont par ailleurs cultivé une écologie insensible à la question sociale, voire concurrente avec elle : par exemple en poussant des réformes issues du paradigme néolibéral, comme la taxe carbone ou les quotas carbone. Ces solutions de marché ont rendu l'écologie compatible avec l’extension du capitalisme.
Par manque de doctrine générale, l’écologie politique s’est rendue opportuniste - et illisible. Nous l’avons vu avec les ralliements de plusieurs figures vertes au macronisme : Cohn-Bendit, Hulot, Pompili, de Rugy, Canfin. Hors soutien au bloc libéral, ils oscillent entre la social-démocratie et la gauche de rupture. Ce flou idéologique constant empêche de considérer l'écologie politique comme un point d'appui pour changer de système.
Mais est-ce que l'écologie est intrinsèquement de gauche ? Si elle est anticapitaliste, elle peut aussi être conservatrice. C’est très clair dans les écrits des pionniers de l’écologie politique, comme Jacques Ellul, Bernard Charbonneau ou Ivan Illich. L’écologie n’est-elle pas à la fois de gauche et de droite ?
La situation écologique actuelle nécessite une critique du capitalisme. Et celle-ci a largement disparu du discours de la droite. De ce point de vue là, elle m'apparaît donc incompatible avec les forces conservatrices, qui n’en saisissent pas l’essence.
Pour poser correctement la question écologique, il faut partir des limites de la planète. L’enjeu consiste à réencastrer l’économie dans les contraintes biophysiques de l’écosystème afin de la rendre soutenable. Dès lors, comment produire en réduisant notre empreinte matérielle générale, donc comment partager, de manière démocratique et planifiée, les ressources naturelles au sein de la population ? C’est une approche à laquelle s’opposent les forces de droite, soumises à la main im(pré)visible du marché.
Pourquoi le capitalisme est fondamentalement incompatible avec la préservation de la planète ?
Parce qu’il est fondé sur la loi du profit. Celle-ci stipule que pour accumuler de la valeur dans un système définit par la propriété privée des moyens de production, il faut entretenir un rapport d'exploitation avec l'écosystème ; le but étant de mettre en circulation toujours plus de marchandises.
Or chaque marchandise a un coût environnemental, en matières premières comme en externalité négative. On a tendance à l’oublier, mais dans chaque marchandise il y a du travail, du savoir et des matières premières, soit des ressources naturelles, aujourd’hui en cours d’épuisement.Dans la mesure où le marché est fondé sur une forme d’anarchisme dans la production, le capitalisme ressemble à une espèce d'automate aveugle qui va à l'abîme mécaniquement. La quête de rentabilité infinie amène à produire tout et n'importe quoi : trop de choses inutiles et pas assez de choses vitales. L’écologie exige au contraire que l’on puisse décider démocratiquement de quel type de production on ne peut se passer et de quel type de production on doit se passer.
Dans un texte Jean Baudrillard comparait SOS-Racisme à SOS-Baleines. Selon lui, l’association antiraciste avait besoin du racisme pour exister et il se demandait si comme SOS-Baleines avait pour but de sauver les baleines, est-ce que SOS-Racisme ne préservait pas au fond le racisme. Est-ce la même chose pour les associations écolos ? Ont-elles besoin de la crise écologique pour exister en quelque sorte ?
Oui, puisqu’elles vivent de leur cause. Leurs dirigeants en tirent une rentabilité multiple : économique, sociale, symbolique, etc. Ils font carrière, au sens professionnel du terme. Et si le ravage écologique disparaît, les ONG environnementales aussi.
Cela me rappelle une scène intéressante, que je raconte dans mon livre. Lors de sa deuxième campagne internationale, Greenpeace s’engage contre la chasse à la baleine. Pour symboliser leur lutte, ils ont besoin d’obtenir la photo d’un activiste faisant face à un baleinier armé d’un harpon. Hélas, quand ils arrivent sur zone, les baleiniers s’immobilisent machinalement. Les baleines respirent. Mais les activistes, eux, sont mis en échec : car leur campagne consiste précisément à ramener des images de baleiniers en action. Finalement, la chasse reprend et ils obtiennent la photo tant attendue. Mais au prix d’un bain de sang pour les baleines.
Qu’appelez-vous justement « l’écologie du spectacle » ?
C'est la traduction d'une crise de la praxis des ONG environnementales, en particulier de Greenpeace. Elles rejettent la stratégie insurrectionnelle au nom de la non-violence. Elles rejettent également la lutte des classes par aversion pour les milieux ouvriers. Elles tendent enfin à s’immobiliser lors des périodes électorales, même charnières, par apolitisme. Que leur reste-t-il alors pour changer réellement les choses ?
Une fois ces trois options tactiques écartées, il ne reste plus qu’un travail de sensibilisation symbolique parfaitement inoffensif. L'écologie du spectacle, c'est cette écologie des apparences, qui reste en surface et que l'on retrouve par exemple dans le banderolisme auquel s’adonne Greenpeace en permanence.
Dans cette ONG, on est plus intéressé par l’image que par le blocage. Il n'y a pas de confrontation réelle lors des actions « coups de poing » – qui sont surtout des coups d'épée dans l'eau. Mais des mises en scène pacifiées avec les forces de l'ordre. Car la direction nourrit la hantise de toute forme de débordement qui ternirait l’image de l’organisation auprès des « généreux donateurs ».
Ajoutons à cette écologie des faux-semblants tous les dispositifs de certification et de labels négociés avec les multinationales, qui sont du pur marketing. Ou encore le fait de participer à un gouvernement néolibéral au nom de l’écologie, comme on l’a vu sous Hollande ou Macron.
Vous êtes plus indulgents avec les jeunes associations plus radicales, comme Extinction Rebellion (XR). Mais les happenings, jeter de la soupe sur des œuvres d’art, etc. N’est-ce pas une nouvelle écologie du spectacle ?
Au départ, Extinction Rebellion était en partie dérivé de l'écologie du spectacle. Mais je pense que l'organisation s’est transformée et fait désormais des choses intéressantes. Il y avait néanmoins une différence fondamentale dans leurs discours dès le départ, à savoir la remise en cause du capitalisme. Sur les modes d’organisation aussi : une horizontalité et une inclusivité militante qui n'existe pas chez les ONG professionnelles.
Et les moyens de mise en œuvre sont très différents. Les actions de Greenpeace sont menées par des « activistes » suréquipés et surentraînés. Elles coûtent très cher, pour des résultats proches de zéro. Les nouveaux mouvements pratiquent quant à eux le happening « à hauteur militante ». Le paroxysme de tout ça, c'est le jet de soupe sur le Van Gogh. Avec une simple boîte de soupe, les deux jeunes femmes de Just Stop Oil ont déclenché plus de retombées médiatiques en une journée que Greenpeace France en un an, malgré ses dizaines de millions d’euros.
Cette action confine à l’autocritique, par l'absurde, de l'écologie du spectacle - et plus largement de la société du spectacle dans son ensemble. Je ne dis pas qu'il faut se passer de médiatisation dans la lutte. Mais la question est de savoir si elle est un moyen, ou bien une fin en soi.
Comment mener la « révolution écologique » ? Que faire ?
Déjà, il faut admettre le besoin d’une « révolution » écologique : nous sommes en fin de cycle, celui de l’habitabilité humaine de la planète. L'écologie ne peut donc passer que par le renversement de l’ordre institutionnel et social. Dans différents sondages, qui d'ailleurs apparaissent parfois à l'occasion du forum de Davos, nous pouvons percevoir un rejet grandissant du capitalisme par la majorité sociale.
Beaucoup de gens considèrent que ce mode de production fait plus de mal que de bien. Tout le monde ressent son absurdité et son incompatibilité fondamentale avec notre sécurité écologique. Et le récit de la transition n’illusionne plus grand monde.
Ensuite, il faut avoir conscience qu’on n'embarquera jamais tout le monde. Bolloré ne nous rejoindra jamais : cela n’arrivera pas et nous n'en avons pas envie. Dans une démocratie représentative classique, de toute façon, il suffit d'une majorité relative. La classe capitaliste ne gouverne pas à l'unanimité.
Enfin, pour faire advenir la révolution, il faut que l’écologie soit réintégrée à la lutte des classes, qu'elle reparte des inégalités et qu'elle injecte du clivage dans l'ensemble des rouages sociaux. Elle doit se déployer sur le territoire, dans les lieux de sociabilité de la vie quotidienne où se forgent nos représentations et nos motivations.
Je pense qu’il y a trois sphères qui doivent se connecter pour créer un front écologiste révolutionnaire. Celle des bassins de vie, des territoires, où se déploie la lutte contre les grands projets inutiles et l’accaparement des terres, où des groupes sociaux a priori différents peuvent se doter d’objectifs communs.
Celle du travail aussi, où se déploie la lutte syndicale, située aux avant-postes des contradictions écologiques et sociales du capitalisme. Ce serait quoi une révolution, dans l’immédiat, concrètement ? Par exemple, bloquer le pays pour forcer la convocation d’une constituante capable d’amorcer un changement de régime. Nous avons besoin des forces ouvrières pour mener ce combat-là. Enfin, dans la sphère strictement institutionnelle, il nous faut une gauche de rupture capable de s’emparer des leviers exécutifs et législatifs. Parce que nous aurons besoin de passer par l’État pour modifier la superstructure juridique et coordonner une action coercitive sur le capital - fossile et financier, notamment.

Going to start a conspiracy theory website that parrots all the usual garbage until it gets popular. Then I’ll start releasing actual scientific data and “uncover” the truth that the government was "hiding" from people this whole time.
Out for our morning walk in the woods, and we came across a neighbour out by himself. He told me his wife passed away a month ago, from a massive stroke. Any guesses as to how many jabs she had? I do know him and his wife are/were socialist bootlickers who would've jumped on the vaxx bandwagon. I didn't say a thing because he knows we are polar opposites in our politics and philosophy. Still, so sad to see what this poison has done to so many.

As a PSYOPS expert, I’ll break down how to spot the signs of a psychological operation (psyop) and uncover whether these events are part of a larger, planned agenda. Are these sightings a cover-up, a distraction, or something even more sinister? Watch as we expose the truth behind these mysterious lights in the sky and dive into the tactics used to manipulate public perception. Don’t let yourself be fooled. The truth might be closer than you think. UFO sightings vs. drone activity in NJ How to recognize a #psyop in action Signs this could be a staged event The bigger agenda behind UFO narratives --o-O-o-- Increase in UFO and drone sightings, suggesting a possible psychological operation underway. Government's new openness about UFOs, contrasting it with decades of silence, and propose that this shift may serve larger agendas. Three possible motivations for this change are outlined: - Distraction Tactic: The government may be using UFO narratives to divert attention from pressing issues like economic instability. - Using Fear as a Tool: Framing UFOs as a potential threat could unify the public and encourage compliance with leadership. - Testing the Waters: The government might gauge public reaction to UFOs to determine how to escalate the narrative without backlash. Historical parallels are drawn with past government manipulations of narratives for political ends, such as the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Normalization of UFO discussions could precede significant revelations involving advanced technology or dramatic events. Potential emergence of a "need for a savior" response to perceived threats like UFO sightings, leading to increased defense budgets and global alliances. The importance of critical thinking is emphasized, urging viewers to question the sources of information and recognize the potential for manipulation through fear. The FATE model (Focus, Authority, Tribe, Emotion) to help viewers analyze narratives and their motivations. Key questions are posed regarding who benefits from the narratives, the verifiability of evidence, and the timing of information presentation. The speaker concludes by stressing the importance of remaining calm, practicing mindfulness, and building strong community connections to resist fear tactics. The recent surge in UFO and drone sightings, suggesting that there may be a psychological operation underway. They highlight the government's newfound openness about UFOs, contrasting it with decades of silence, and propose that this shift could serve larger agendas. The speaker outlines three possible motivations for this change: 1. Distraction Tactic: The government may be using UFO narratives to divert attention from pressing issues like economic instability and political unrest, similar to past events where significant announcements coincided with crises. 2. Using Fear as a Tool: By framing UFOs as a potential threat, the government could unify the public and encourage compliance with leadership, reminiscent of tactics used during the Cold War and post-9/11. 3. Testing the Waters: The government might be gauging public reaction to the idea of UFOs to determine how to escalate the narrative without backlash. The speaker also mentions historical parallels, like the Gulf of Tonkin incident and Operation Northwoods, to illustrate how governments have previously manipulated narratives for political ends. They suggest that the current normalization of UFO discussions might be a precursor to a significant revelation, potentially involving dramatic events or advanced technology.
The potential emergence of a "need for a savior" in response to perceived threats, such as UFO sightings. They suggest that governments or global coalitions may react by increasing defense budgets, forming alliances, or creating a Global Response Team. This could lead to significant power shifts and more centralized control. The speaker references a past plan for a staged alien invasion and theorizes that escalating UFO reports could be followed by a media blitz, where mainstream outlets amplify the narrative through interviews and expert opinions, making the situation seem urgent. The speaker outlines a hypothetical progression: increased UFO sightings, a media frenzy, a global event (like a coordinated UFO appearance), and subsequent government solutions involving military spending and international cooperation. They emphasize the importance of critical thinking, urging viewers to question the sources of information and recognize the potential for manipulation through fear. To help viewers discern genuine news from psychological operations (SOPs), the speaker provides steps: analyze the source for credibility, question the timing of stories, observe if multiple outlets use similar language, and watch for emotionally charged messaging. The speaker encourages skepticism of sensational headlines and suggests that understanding these tactics can empower individuals against manipulation.
How to recognize and respond to manipulative narratives, particularly in media and government communications. They emphasize the importance of critical thinking and skepticism when encountering emotionally charged stories, especially those that invoke fear or anger. The speaker introduces the FATE model (Focus, Authority, Tribe, Emotion) and advises viewers to question the motivations behind narratives, the evidence provided, and the timing of the information being presented. They highlight the tactics used by "scops" (presumably referring to sensationalized stories) to dominate news cycles and distract from significant global events. The speaker urges viewers to trust their instincts when something feels off, to analyze coverage patterns, and to seek diverse news sources while using AI for concise and unbiased information. Key questions to consider include: who benefits from the narrative, what evidence is verifiable, and why is it being presented at this moment. The speaker also stresses the importance of staying calm, practicing mindfulness, and building strong community connections as ways to resist fear tactics. They encourage self-reliance and maintaining a balanced mindset to help others remain calm and informed. Finally, the speaker mentions the manipulative nature of fear-driven conspiracies and suggests researching topics like Project Blue Beam for further understanding.
The importance of having cash on hand during power outages and urges viewers to critically evaluate government solutions, questioning whether they truly address issues or merely serve as power grabs. They entertain the idea of alien contact, suggesting that perhaps humanity is finally ready for such an event, especially given recent advancements in technology and exploration. However, they express skepticism about the timing of potential alien encounters, noting that governments often use fear to maintain control. The speaker questions whether advanced aliens would allow information to be channeled through incompetent governments and emphasizes the significance of who controls the narrative if aliens do make contact. They conclude by mentioning their recently released textbook on advanced tactics and methods in this area, inviting viewers to explore it further.
Mass UFO/UAP Sightings vs. Drone Activity in NJ: Context: The increase in sightings has been notable, occurring over critical infrastructure like military bases, reservoirs, and near private properties of public figures. This mix of locations could suggest either a wide-spread test of surveillance capabilities or an orchestrated effort to create a public spectacle. Psyop Indicators: Blending Technology with Mystery: By conflating drones, which are tangible and explainable, with UFOs, which are not, there's potential for creating a narrative where the public might overestimate the capabilities of drones or see them as something more mysterious. Public Fear and Curiosity: The psychological impact of these sightings might be to instill a sense of mystery or potential threat, making people more receptive to government explanations or solutions. How to Recognize a Psyop in Action: Inconsistencies: Not only should one look for contradictions in narratives, but also for an absence of clear, verifiable data. If data or evidence seems too vague or is hidden behind "national security" claims, it might be a psyop. Emotional Manipulation: Fear and Urgency: Continuous reports of sightings could be timed to coincide with other global events, leveraging public anxiety to push for security measures or policy changes. Hope or Salvation: Conversely, if the narrative shifts towards a positive or unifying message (like potential alien contact), it could be an attempt to restore faith in governmental or global leadership. Timing and Distraction: Historical examples show that governments might release or amplify certain stories during times of domestic or international tension to shift focus. The timing of these sightings, particularly if they escalate around election times or during economic downturns, could be telling. Signs This Could Be a Staged Event: Controlled Information Release: The government's openness could be a calculated move, especially if it involves declassification of documents or leaks that are too convenient or perfectly timed to influence public opinion or policy. Media Amplification: Look for patterns in how media outlets report the story; if there's a clear echo chamber effect, where the same phrases or themes are repeated across different platforms, this might suggest coordination. "Expert" Testimonies: Sudden appearances of "experts" or whistleblowers in the media might be orchestrated to give the narrative credibility or to steer public perception in a specific direction. The Bigger Agenda Behind UFO Narratives: Distraction tactics: By focusing public attention on extraterrestrial possibilities, less scrutiny might be placed on domestic policies or international relations that are less favorable to public interest. Fear as Control: Historical use of fear tactics (like during the Cold War or after 9/11) shows how perceived external threats can rally public support for military or surveillance expansions. This could be repeated with UFO narratives, especially if they are portrayed as potentially hostile. Testing the Waters: The government could be gauging how much the public is willing to accept regarding extraterrestrial life or advanced technology, which could be preparation for revealing actual technological breakthroughs or justifying new defense projects. Social Cohesion: In times of division, an external "other" can serve to unite or at least distract from internal conflicts. Analytical Framework (F.A.T.E. Model): Focus: Identify if the narrative is pushing for a specific policy, belief, or action. Is it about security, technological advancement, or something else? Authority: Examine who is speaking on behalf of this narrative. Are these figures from government, military, or scientific communities, and do they have a history of influencing public opinion? Tribe: Consider how different groups react. Does it polarize or unite different political, social, or cultural groups? Emotion: Identify the emotional levers being pulled. Is there an undercurrent of fear, hope, or awe? How these emotions are used can reveal the intent behind the narrative. Critical Thinking and Response: Questioning the Narrative: Beyond who benefits, consider what alternative explanations might exist and whether the narrative serves to close off other avenues of inquiry or thought. Source Verification: In the digital age, with AI and deepfakes, verifying sources is more crucial than ever. Look for primary documents, peer-reviewed studies, or multiple independent confirmations. Community and Calm: The psychological impact of fear can lead to community breakdown or, conversely, stronger community bonds. Promoting education, open dialogue, and resilience against fear-based narratives can be a community's best defense. Mindfulness and Preparedness: Advising people to keep cash or be prepared for disruptions like power outages can also be seen as part of fostering a self-reliant populace less prone to panic, which indirectly counters psyops that rely on public disarray. By applying these analytical tools and understanding historical patterns, individuals can better navigate the complex landscape of information warfare where UFO narratives might be just one facet of a broader psyop.

Tomorrow's Full Moon is special. It rises and sets in it's most-Northerly positions on the horizon, and is this year's least-illuminated Full Moon: timeanddate.com/news/astronomy…

We need a reverse-bounty program for open source software. Something like "I pledge $100/mo. to prevent further development of Nostr" or other obnoxious things.
