Even if your politics aren't as radical as mine, readers, you'll grant me that a great deal of stuff is going on . . .
or much more to the point, is going to continue going on -- we toss the term 'disruptive technology' about rather too lightly.
So:
' "What he did was a complete opposition to everything he has stood for in terms of his economic policies," '
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-05/iceland-pm-resigns-following-panama-papers-leak/7302330So, liar liar pants on fire for the now-resigned Icelandic Prime Minister, brought down by the release of hacked documents.
And today:
'Mr Macron's En Marche movement said internal campaign documents, including emails and financial data, had been taken in an "act of massive, co-ordinated hacking".'
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-39827244The actual hack happened several weeks ago, so the timing is sweet: just as the no-campaigning period before the election began. And 'The campaign said that genuine files were mixed up with fake ones in order to confuse people.' Niiiiice!!!
The French Government is warning 'media outlets' against publishing the data; but those pesky 'fake news' sites . . .
Now read this:
'In May 2016, MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski called on Debbie Wasserman Schultz to step down over the DNC's bias against the Sanders campaign.[31][32] Schultz was upset at the negative coverage of her actions in the media, and she emailed Chuck Todd that such coverage of her "must stop".'
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Democratic_National_Committee_email_leak#Debbie_Wasserman_Schultz.27s_emailsNotice that Schultz is focussed on controlling the discourse.
In late-night Hollywood movies, we see the flaming-torch-and-pitchfork-carrying villagers streaming towards the manor. Well, in 2017, the 'villagers' are hackers and crypto geeks; and it's this reality that makes me so confident that tens upon tens upon tens of billions of dollars will flow into cryptographic currencies.
