Foundation of the WorldWideWeb Turns 36 Today

Tim Berners-Lee, with Robert Cailliau’s support, birthed the World Wide Web and its first browser at CERN, initially serving as a hypertext document system. Their work evolved into the global WWW through open standards and broader adoption. HTML, created by Berners-Lee, grew from a simple markup language into a cornerstone of the Web, standardized by the W3C, which Berners-Lee founded to ensure the Web’s coherence and accessibility. Today’s WWW reflects their foundational vision, expanded by decades of innovation and collaboration. Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist, and Robert Cailliau, a Belgian engineer and computer scientist, played pivotal roles in the development of the World Wide Web (WWW). Their collaboration at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, laid the groundwork for one of the most transformative technologies of…

The Dangers of Joining the CIA: A Legacy of Misplaced Power & Selfish Ambition

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has a long and complex history, dating back to the post-World War II era. Established in 1947, the CIA was created in response to the emerging threats of the Cold War, including the arms and space races. However, from its inception, the agency has been plagued by a culture of misplaced power and selfish ambition, which has led to a legacy of danger and deception. One of the earliest and most influential operations in the CIA’s history was Operation Paperclip, a secret program that recruited former Nazi scientists and engineers to work for the United States government. This operation set a precedent for the CIA’s willingness to compromise its values and morals in pursuit of power and knowledge. By recruiting individuals with questionable…

Not mRNA Chicken?! Why the Bird Flu…

  Dr. Eric Berg’s part in this discussion with Clayton Baker M.D., has shed light on a concerning plan to vaccinate all chickens and livestock with mRNA technology, which could potentially contaminate the global food supply chains. This plan is allegedly linked to the introduction of a new virus that threatens livestock and can leap to humans during the contamination stage, utilizing miRNA inference for gain of function research. The Biden administration has granted a significant amount of money to Moderna to develop a vaccine for this virus, raising questions about the motivations behind this move. The timing of the virus’s emergence and the subsequent development of a vaccine by Moderna has sparked concerns about a potential global conspiracy to reduce the human population on Earth. The sudden…

The Preemptive Truth on Health Perceptions: mRNA ‘Vax’

The narrative surrounding the safety of COVID-19 vaccines has become so entrenched that the mainstream public may outright reject any suggestion of potential harms. Regardless of how compelling or well-reasoned the arguments against the prevailing “trust the science” mantra might be, the lack of control-group studies on vaccine and booster safety has created widespread uncertainty. This ambiguity offers just enough plausible deniability for people to cling to a false sense of confidence, disillusioned about the vaccines’ true efficacy and safety. At the same time, there has been a noticeable increase in cancers and deadly blood clots, yet no clear explanation or accountability ties these conditions to the vaccines. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has logged an unprecedented number of reports, but these are frequently dismissed with…

What is Man In The Middle Shadow Banning?

Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) Shadow Banning Man-in-the-middle (MITM) shadow banning is a theoretical or advanced form of shadow banning where a third party—such as an internet service provider (ISP), a network administrator, or even a government entity—intercepts and manipulates data between a user and an online platform without the platform itself being aware. How It Works: Interception: The attacker or intermediary intercepts a user’s requests before they reach the intended website or social media platform. Modification or Filtering: The attacker selectively blocks, modifies, or delays the user’s posts, interactions, or visibility while making it appear to the user that everything is functioning normally. Stealthy Execution: Unlike traditional shadow banning, where a platform itself hides a user’s content, MITM shadow banning is external. The platform may have no direct involvement or…
