NOTABLE

 

This is the Meme of all memes that should be going viral.

 

Weak minds, can not possibly comprehend the sheer evil, that has shackled humanity to the ball and chain of Satanic Slavery, because this is all they see. Until they are actually SHOWN the truth, no one, can truly be free.

How to escape the Matrix, when the GOVT keeps brainwashing people to believe, there isn't one.

 

When was Zuckerefuck chosen to take over this role and WHYY? Babyface would never be questioned? Easily acceptable? How many Pickle Fuckers are placed into these spots?

 

Facebook, a computing pioneer, a secret government program, and a strange coincidence

 

How one man’s quest to remember everything helped usher in a new era.

 

ByGrant HillJanuary 29, 2024

 

One that riffs on the timing of the company’s launch date, February 4, 2004, and the shutdown of a secretive, now-defunct, government program.

 

Central to this story is the research of Chester Gordon Bell, one of the architects of the modern internet.

 

“I’ll say I’m one of the computing pioneers,” Bell said, summing up his decades-long career in the field.

 

It all started back in 1997, when a former colleague from Carnegie Mellon University asked Bell if he could scan all of his books and documents into an archive about computer science history.

 

The request gave Bell an idea. Why stop there?

 

“He said, ‘Why don’t I see what it’s like if you scanned everything in your life and put it online.’”

 

Bell wanted to capture the type of data that would have previously been impossible to collect without the kind of emerging technology finally at his disposal.

 

He brought the idea to Microsoft and hired an assistant.

 

“And we started scanning, scanning everything,” Bell said.

 

Emails, work notes, his online browsing history.

 

Bell eventually started wearing a camera around his neck that regularly snapped photos on a timer, an altimeter, and a GPS receiver that tracked his location.

 

The idea was to create a “surrogate memory” — a trove of stored data to supplement the flawed recall of his human mind.

 

“It’s really how I can go back and pinpoint something,” Bell said.

 

In 2002, Bell and his team wrote a paper about his experience organizing human life, and all this new data, electronically in a coherent, searchable way.

 

“The main kind of display line that I like to think of is really a timeline. I mean, I love timelines,” Bell said.

 

What seems obvious now was anything but then. He was blazing a new frontier.

 

His team estimated that, without video, an 80-year-old could jam all their data into just a terabyte of storage. A lifetime of memories on a thumb drive in your pocket.

 

It wasn’t long before others began to notice what his team was doing – blending computing with cameras, sensors, and memories.

 

The practice became known as ”lifelogging.” And soon, the U.S. military came calling.

 

Specifically, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency — or DARPA. The agency is responsible for developing innovative and often secret technology for the U.S. military.

 

So, in 2003, Congress canceled the Total Information Awareness program.

 

And the whole issue also cast shade on DARPA’s LifeLog program, which now seemed like just another excuse to pry.

 

“The senators and whoever looked at it and said, ‘Oh, we can’t be doing this surveillance stuff’,” Bell said.

 

The creator of DARPA’s Lifelog program later told Vice News that the research had nothing to do with spying.

 

But it was too late.

 

On February 4, 2004, DARPA shut down LifeLog.

 

It was the very same day that a skinny college student named Mark Zuckerberg officially launched a new website called The Facebook.

 

As you might have guessed, this is part of the story where all the speculation starts — when forum board authors start typing in all caps and Youtubers add dramatic music.

 

It sounds like something your weird uncle might post on Facebook.

 

Timing the official shuttering of a very controversial research program exactly with the start of a front company meant to keep said ostensibly-defunct-research-program secretly operational doesn’t seem like a very smart idea.

 

But, there are some potential tenuous connections. Following the creation of In-Q-Tel, a venture capital fund created by the Central Intelligence Agency, the U.S. intelligence community has become a big investor in Silicon Valley firms that mine data collected by Facebook and other social media sites – an influential relationship some technology companies publicly celebrate.

 

Facebook’s first big outside investor, Peter Theil, has long enjoyed a cozy relationship with American spy agencies.

 

But to be clear, there is no evidence DARPA or the U.S. intelligence services had any role in the creation of Facebook. Nor is there evidence that intelligence agencies have directly invested in the company.

 

I reached out to Meta to ask about their response to the suspicions around the LifeLog program.
