This is a post about Steemit that I originally wrote back around 2019 but never published in it’s entirety.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

I still think Jeff Berwick is really entertaining and 90% of what he says is exactly what I\u2019m thinking too. I’m actually a subscriber to his newsletter, and often watch his podcasts. But there is possibly something not right about him, and he is pushing the doomsday this weekend (September 23-26 2022) story really hard.<\/p>\n

So on this day of all days, all of this stuff seems very relevant. I haven’t updated the old post draft and am just putting out there for contemplation. The fake accounts, AI development, and CIA control all certainly apply to Hive as well. Does it also apply to Blurt? that is what I’m now wondering…<\/h3>\n

Some of the stuff I wrote back then turned out to be inaccurate, but that is the nature of predictions.<\/p>\n

THERE WAS SO MUCH DODGY SHIT GOING ON ON STEEMIT IT BOGGLES MY MIND<\/h3>\n

\"image.png\"<\/p>\n

Some “conspiracy theorist” I turned out to be – I got suckered big-time…
\nNever mind, I learned a lot, made good profits from Steem and crypto investments, and had some good times. But in order to fit into the scene I turned a blind eye to a bunch of stuff that was glaringly obvious really. Especially with the benefit of hindsight!<\/p>\n

Back on August 2016 I watched a video of Jeff Berwick debating Tone X – I thought Jeff Berwick was cool and “the negative guy” was a dork. Watching it again later I thought that Berwick might be a scam artist and a lot of the negative stuff could be true.<\/p>\n

WHAT I THINK WAS REALLY GOING ON WITH STEEMIT<\/h3>\n

\"image.png\"<\/p>\n

Steemit was originally set up by Mossad and the CIA just like Fakebook and most other social media.<\/p>\n

Dan\u2019s father Stan works for the CIA. Stan has connections to the account known as “Haejin”, and they are draining out reward pool money. Dan is a mid level computer geek with all the usual geek mental development issues. Just like Suckerberg. But although Dan has been called both a genius and a serial scammer, in reality he is only a frontman for a far more talented CIA development team. He was chosen because of the connection to his father and because he is geek enough to be credible in that role.<\/p>\n

In the pre alpha days of Steemit they set up a bunch of accounts (thousands). One of them was called \u201cBernie Sanders\u201d. At that point Ned was not part of the initial set up. He was chosen to be a frontman for Steemit (his appearance is a selling point). Ultimately he is destined to be a public failure, and is just an actor playing a front guy with nice hair.<\/p>\n

Steemit is not meant to become the next Fakebook, it\u2019s ultimate purpose to be a test site for a bunch of psyops. Its value will be manipulated up and down, but ultimately, despite totally incompetent \u201cmanagement\u201d it will appear to \u201cwin\u201d and continue developing.<\/p>\n

All the competition, particularly EOS and Trybe, is set up by the same CIA team, but is deliberately designed to fail so that Steem and Steemit will \u201cwin\u201d<\/p>\n

Recently the persona known as \u201cBernie Sanders\u201d has switched into a new agenda \u2013 censoring \u201chate speech\u201d and controlling and censoring content \u2013 this is a new angle, and is the latest test.<\/p>\n

Because there are several CIA operatives playing the role, sometimes they are clearly not the same person. The latest one is playing the role of a real prick. Can a site be censored by just one member, and what will the reaction be?
\nTotally fake posts like the darkoverlord are actively promoted by credible key accounts. And the fake site Wikileaks is relentlessly promoted on Steemit by certain big accounts. Some of these accounts are also CIA personas like Bernie. There are thousands of CIA fake accounts on Steemit<\/p>\n

In the early days I could get away with what I was posting on Steemit because I was under the radar, but I certainly wouldn\u2019t post these theories on Steemit because I’d get hung drawn and slaughtered. I don\u2019t think anyone on Steemit would get away with posting these ideas.<\/p>\n

I expect the \u201cBernie Sanders\u201d accounts (and there are many) will keep flagging people off the platform, and eventually they will work his way down to all the little punters like me \u2013 \u201che\u201d has already flagged several of my comments.<\/p>\n

\"image.png\"<\/p>\n

“The head flaggot is a pig demon who walks erect, seizing violators and squeezing the shit out of them, which he grinds into their mouths and noses until they suffocate”<\/em><\/p>\n

THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF FAKE ACCOUNTS ON STEEMIT<\/h2>\n

The most obvious ones are the bots – there are upvote bots, downvote bots, bots to alert other bots – the place is crawling with bots – bots even vote, comment, and have wars with each other. It is estimated that more than half the accounts on Steemit are bots. Heading into 2019, I’d say the vast majority of the active accounts regularly posting are AI accounts backed up by CIA teams.<\/p>\n

The second type of fake accounts are more cunning. They are fronted by actors who produce videos, post photos of themselves, and appear to be constantly posting and commenting. What is a typical fake account like? – often they are popular, with over 5000 followers, they have a high rep – over 70, they have quite a lot of $ in their wallet – over $20k, they commonly started out pretty early – often in June or July 2016 (prior to the big Jeff Berwick PR push in August), and they tend to post a lot. Not entertaining or fun or even interesting content, but stuff about cryptos, geek stuff, Steemit, politics, news. Some mid level conspiracies, but nothing too deep.<\/p>\n

They tend to be reasonably presentable – better looking than you might expect for geeks who do nothing but write Steemit posts and do computer stuff. Rather than looking like fat geeks, they look like male (and sometimes female) models. Maybe because the people in the videos are\u2026<\/p>\n

\"image.png\"<\/p>\n

Their lives make no sense – supposedly they lead active lives doing all sorts of stuff, but somehow manage to constantly monitor everything that is happening on Steemit – they never change their opinions or interests, but just keep on constantly doing posts, replying to comments, engaging in chat room discussions. But the really big one: unlike real people, after two years they don’t burn out.<\/p>\n

Everyone who as used Steemit for over two years has burned out – they have become disillusioned, they miss all their friends who have quit, they miss getting payouts, and they have to admit they were deliberately turning a blind eye to all the bullshit. They are going backwards and they know it. But these fake accounts never get to that point – they keep on saying the same stuff, the same amount of times, day in and day out. They never acknowledge that Steemit is collapsing around them.<\/p>\n

These fake accounts are the PR face of Steemit – promoting the platform, and promoting cryptos. Without let up. Any realistic criticism for cryptos is ignored. They get dozens of comments on their posts. Boring meaningless messages of support from accounts with no money or posting history. Bots.
\nThe real aim of Steemit (along with scamming a lot of money) was always to develop AI in social media.<\/p>\n

To start off with along with all the fake witnesses, a large number of the prominent accounts were fake \u2013 some very obviously. A good example was\u00a0@sweetsssj<\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0https:\/\/steemit.com\/@sweetsssj<\/a>\u00a0– which was clearly a team including a model, a photographer, a writer, several on site assistants, an organizer and an investor. One person pointed this out but was immediately flagged off the platform, so the rest of us shut our faces.<\/p>\n

\"image.png\"<\/p>\n

A less obvious fake account is Jeff Berwick \u2013 he is real but he has a big team behind him. Another agenda of Steemit is to promote cryptos. He also promotes the idea of a global financial meltdown (the global warming of economics?) –\u00a0https:\/\/steemit.com\/@dollarvigilante<\/a><\/p>\n

\"image.png\"<\/p>\n

So it was always clear that there were a lot of fake accounts, but what was less obvious was that some of them were not human at all. They were AI accounts.
\n@bloom<\/a>\u00a0is a perfect example of an early very low level AI account \u2013 It has never posted anything and mostly just follows bernie and flags any post where the balance to keep the post flagged can be assisted with extra input from its 11,000sp wallet<\/p>\n

But the AI accounts have been developing rapidly \u2013 now they can comment and actually pass for real if you don\u2019t look too closely. What gives them away apart from being humourless morons is that they always create controversy and disagreement (to generate more activity)<\/p>\n

A much more advanced example of an AI account designed to create controversy is\u00a0@anarchyhasnogods<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 this is what an AI argument might look like \u2013 but it does get a bit repetitive! –
\nhttps:\/\/steemit.com\/steemstem\/@anarchyhasnogods\/man-kidnaps-and-strangles-women-telling-her-he-is-going-to-kill-her-all-for-sexual-gratification-is-given-stern-warning-by-judge<\/a><\/p>\n

They appear to have humans overseeing them and creating some posts, and comments, but leaving the AI part of the persona to trawl though all the posts making comments.<\/p>\n

Part of why Steemit has never grown or developed as a site is because that is not the aim. The aim is to develop the AI side of it until it gets to the point where a huge portion of the accounts are AI.<\/p>\n

Lately that side of things has been pushed fairly heavily and more cracks are starting to show. The flagging is starting to look ridiculous, the comments could bore a rock to death, and the site is running worse by the day.<\/p>\n

There seems to actually be an agenda of driving real bloggers off the platform by flagging them until they quit, and constantly commenting on their posts with AI accounts. Most of my Steemit friends have just quietly stopped posting. My best guess is that there is a plan to drive real users off the platform, replace them with AI accounts, and also to get the price of Steem down really low, and then buy it up cheap and start manipulating it up and down like a yoyo<\/p>\n

AND WHAT IS THE REAL PURPOSE OF CRYPTOS?<\/h3>\n

Cryptos, starting with Bitcoin, are another globalist plot \u2013 aiming towards a one world currency. They will be fine tuned and manipulated up and down until the timing is right to crash the global economy starting with America, and forcing in a one world currency. Problem, reaction, solution.<\/p>\n
