In the Grip of a Quiet Paranoia
Dramatic title but this isn't an academic or philosophical treatise or any such thing. These are just my thoughts prompted by an event that occurred in the last 24 hours. An anon was looking for a copy of the Christchurch shooting video. I told him that he should try searching Bitchute because there were plenty of videos posted there at the time. The anon reported not finding any videos so I posted a link to my private server where I had stored two copies three years ago (because it was getting wiped off the Internet by the New Zealand government). The baker put my post in a notable and nobody thought much about it until hours later when an anon objected:
Erp. I fucked up, I guess, but I'm not sure if Jim is mad at me or the baker. My post was not deleted. Now, I fully understand Jim's position and I support it. The loss of 8chan was a traumatic event for all of us and we don't want it repeated. However, we should keep in mind that this sort of thing can eat at us from the inside and that this is exactly the position that the Cabal wants us to be in. I'm not saying that we need to challenge the powers-that-be on this matter. Just that we need to watch our emotions lest we fall further into self-censorship.
I have a repository on GitHub and I got hit with a DMCA notice earlier this month. From GitHub's point of view, it was just a routine matter and they're satisfied with my response. From my point of view, it was a mix of emotions between a secret glee that I got noticed by somebody and a gnawing dread that I might have to deal with this again in the future. I was primed for a negative reaction to Jim's admonition. I wrote an apology which he will likely never see. I had just woken up from a fitful sleep and that was my first gut reaction. On thinking about it more, I realize that we may all be experiencing a quiet paranoia.
Whatever your stance on it, the Christchurch shooting was an historic event and material related to it ought to be available for study. The governments of the world did a good job of almost totally eradicating the video from the Internet. It still exists in far-flung corners here and there but certainly not on any major site. Nobody ever tried to eradicate videos of the JFK shooting or of 9/11 or of any other historic event but, for some reason, it was really important to eradicate this one. Why? Was it because it was a false flag that went wrong? Why would the government care about a shooting video that is, quite frankly, tamer than the infamous airport massacre in Call of Duty?
Anyway, that's what I have to say. I'll have to be more careful in the future, I suppose.
