Riki Leaks vs. Jerry 'well' Springer

Riki Leaks vs. Jerry 'well' Springer

Peace is no news. For me.
War makes news, information warfare is news
News is information warfare.
And the fighting takes place everywhere
And nowhere at once.

You cannot regulate information for a nation any longer
A new band of more intelligent critters have arrived on earth
Wikileaks: the extraterrestrial ‘information police/care givers’
Who demonstrate the new digital philosophy of open
Source sharing and webactivism 2.0

Good news for the people and the press
Real news that does not come from an Intelligence brief?
Maverick like Chuck Norris, cutting edge like M.I.T,
More scoops than Ben and Jerries,
Maybe the wikileak hearted will inherit the earth.
Everywhere and nowhere at once.

A journalist’s dream or nightmare, depending who you work for,
Everything comes out in the new wikileak wash,
The dirt, the oil and blood stains magnified a thousand times.

As we the people finally get up to speed
With RAW data on current world events, like the intel-news-banking mob
Rather than waiting 60 years for a trickle of truth,
Such as the recently exposed CIA operation in France,
Where the bastards secretly dosed an entire town.
But still truth is a tall order when dealing in a state of
Culture war.

Wikileaks game changer
Warrior spirit threat to the biggest and the richest, the war market
Finally a threat so big and yet so small that all else fails,
Like an elephant fighting a fly.

Without buying any guns and tanks or aeroplanes
Wikileaks has struck a blow to the giant one eyed cyclops
No secret spies, no violence, no bullshit.

Laws and truth and sporting friendship
Flew out the window
When governments and their imperialist army of snoop troops
Started collecting files on its citizens, and trading
Information
Like the way a bully-thief trades switchblades before a robbery.

Read and dig the new ABC guide to
‘KNU culture wars fought on a digital sports ground campus’
Simply sharing secrets from all sides
All quarters that have a similar pomp
And bombast, the bully industries generally.

A Knu strategy in peace making, called
Information sharing.
A priceless business when glossed by the Knowledge Economy.
Surprise = Information.

A new court house and Judge have descended on the New World Order
Like a friendly E.T here shield us from bullying
By information fraudster and money pimps.

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are illegal wars
The global financial meltdown was tempered by illegal banking activity
And so what is a legal practice in war and banking?

After watching Tony Blair on the stand at the inquiry,
And laughing his way back to Jerusalem without a shred of remorse.
George Bush and his religious brand of disinformation scripts
Are copied and distributed willingly by the worlds dying media.

Everything has changed and changed utterly
As if gun powder were just discovered
Or the destructive power of fission fusion bomb,
WLKS is a kind of information knowledge process
A genesis machine for updating the media ecology sphere.

Have no fear but learn vigilance,
Wikileaks is like an information ambulance.
The balance of the forces equally spread, so that all humanity can sleep
Dreaming in bed of a New New world of decentralized order.

The WWW is striking revenge to its own fathers move to the dark side
Like hens coming home to roost
Wikileaks was destined to happen as soon as Claude Shannon,
Norbert Wiener and Alan Turing made their breakthroughs in
Information theory 60 years ago.

Information wants to be free
Some humans heed that call,
Others wish to continue the trajectory from over the last 2000 years
And censor, block, choke, strangle, disrupt and smear the path to
Freedom of information.

What better metaphor to describe the decentralized universe?
"The center cannot hold"
All the plumbers are busy and
Cannot stop the wikigate flood.

‘sticking a p a r t’ in a decentralized
strategy vs.
The massive centralized super state strategy, under one god?
Using a centralized service for anything is probably a Bad idea
In the new age of wikileaks.
Bon Po shamanism springs to mind when I contemplate wikileaks
Bon Po’ used to memorize their scriptures,
And could thereby perform rituals and prayer in the dark
In times without light, or a candle.

Information distribution is changed forever,
Nothing is secure, and never has been, not even your thoughts
And for once this goes for all of us, spies and bankers included.

The big strong brutes always fall hardest, eventually
But rarely without thrashing and kicking on the way,
Wikileaks represents a check-mate.
Now we watch the angry giants make excuses
Excuses excuses for not playing the new game.

The Game’s up. Sorry.
We are witnessing the largest shift in power since WWII
Breaking free from the dogma of conspiracy theory into
RAW information fact.

No more rense snips and Alex Jones bites of the POP con.
Now we all have the RAW data for our own analysis,
If we choose to look and read and think
For ourselves and question authority.

Uncensorable Pirates of information
Let me hear the whistle posse’ blow
Blow like Miles and Dizzy, blow so
The masters of war get wind.

A new philosophy of knowledge dissemination
Flooding the castle with so much knowledge that
Disinformation drowns in its own shit, its own entropy.

The singularity likes wikileaks and so does
Time-wave zero.
Now do you see a little further out to the vast ocean?

As the glaciers melt humanity begins to see the flash flood
Water like information; it wants to be free and equitable and
To flow between poles and cycle with seasons
Forever changing forms.

As wikileaks melts into the course of hot human history
Steam rises and precious gases disperse from the rapid cooling.

If a tweet is a leak then you have Billions of bullets to
Penetrate the bucket. Tweetyleaks to fill the Pacific Basin in
Two weeks,

yours sincerely, Riki Leaks

HUMAN INTELLIGENCE INCREASE BY Robert Anton Wilson. (Excerpt hyperlinks)

Human Intelligence Increase: The Last 4,000 Years and The Next 40 Years

By ROBERT ANTON WILSON (september 1980)



"In 1928, when that long man, Charles Lindberg, was flying the Atlantic in his crude bi-plane, engineer-designer R. Buckminster Fuller, who had read Korzybski, defined the I2 function as synergy. Synergy is kind of reaction where 1+1 does not equal 2, but 2+. For instance, put a man and a woman in bed and you might get, in nine months, three people, not two. Add molybdenum to steel and you get an alloy tougher than either or both. Bring Arabian mathematicians to Europe, mix it with the empirical knowledge of the craftsmen, and you get Galileo and the science of physics.

Fuller realized the highest form of synergy was mind itself, which is, as he says, inherently self-augmenting. That is, you can’t put two ideas together without a third idea emerging, almost as in our sexual example above. Fuller agrees with Douglas: capital increases, because ideas are always increasing. The world is moving toward larger and larger coherently organized systems, each capable of doing more, synergistically, than earlier, less organized systems.

In 1944, Nobel physicist Edwin Schrödinger added the next block to the definition of I2, in a book called What is Life? Schrödinger noted that everything in the universe, except life, follows the Second law of Thermodynamics in moving steadily toward maximum entropy (which for our purposes we can define loosely as chaos or incoherence.) Life, however, moves in the opposite direction: toward higher organization, greater coherence, negative entropy.

In the next few years, almost simultaneously, Claude Shannon of Bell Laboratories and Norbert Weider of M.I.T. realized that the information in a message could be mathematically expressed as negative entropy. The whole science of cybernetics comes out of this discovery, but that is not our topic here. What is interesting to us, in terms of I2, is that the movement of life toward greater coherence is, as Shannon and Weiner, vastly accelerated as life’s techniques of information processing improve. In short, the movement from grunts to language, to math, to computers, is a move towards Information Intensification and against entropy, a movement toward coherent order and against random decay.

As Bucky Fuller was quick to point out, the development of Information Theory by Shannon and Weiner enables us to see the human mind as the greatest synergy-machine, the greatest tool for doing-more-with-less, in this part of the universe.

Fuller points out that knowledge can only increase (except for tragedies like brain damage in an individual or totalitarianism in a society.) As our communication skills and information processing improve, human knowledge as a whole accelerates synergistically. Therefore, both hard and soft technologies accelerate – ideas and tools both change faster, faster, faster. And capital accumulates accordingly.

The ever-provocative Dr. Timothy Leary gives us a final set of models to understand the law of acceleration. In The Intelligence Agents, 1979, Leary claims the east-to-west movement, seen as a migration of capital by Brooks Adams, is really a movement of genes. The Earth turns west-to-east; the hardier, more innovative genes, he claims, go against this and move east-to-west. The shift of power from Babylon to New York noted by Brooks Adams is still continuing. Leary avers; the pioneer genes are piling up on the West Coast, and getting ready to blast off for space.

This oddly parallels the theory of sociologist Carl Oglesby that there is a cowboy-versus-Yankee war in our ruling class. The cowboys are still looking for a new frontier, Oglesby says; the Yankees have turned conservative. Control of our economy is split between the old New York capitalists and the innovative western cowboy-capitalists. The latter group, of course, are the ones who are heavily investing in the space industry.

There is clear relevance between all these notions, and they all contribute to our understanding of socio-economic change. The Adamses on migration and acceleration, Douglas on increment of association, Korzybski on “time-binding,” Fuller on synergy, Schrödinger on life as an anti-entropic process, Shannon and Weiner on information as negative entropy, and Leary on neuro-genetics, all illustrate part of what we mean by Information Increase. That Intelligence Intensification (a term borrowed from Leary) is part of the world round 4,000 year information explosion should also be clear. Our hunting-gathering ancestors did not need the variety of kinds and styles of intelligence that the Greeks of Plato’s age needed. More intelligence, of different flavors and functions, were necessary for the transformations known to us as the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, and the rise of representational government. New types of intelligence are being produced to cope with the computer revolution and the burst into space.

“We can now amplify and accelerate our sharing so that it can cross the world in a matter of moments, copied and replicated all the way. The power of the network has driven us into a new era. Sharing culture, knowledge, and power has destabilized all of our institutions. Businesses totter and collapse; universities change their practices; governments create task forces to get in front of what everyone calls ‘something-2.0’. It could be web2.0, education2.0, or government2.0. It doesn’t matter. What does matter is that something big is happening, and it’s all driven by our ability to share. -- Mark Pesce, Nexus of Sharing.
