So The Riddle of the Camera has a very simple answer: A camera is not a camera when the EU says it isn't. And that answer says so much about the matrix in which we live.
Here's a riddle for you: When is a camera not a camera? It may not sound as important as The Riddle of the Sphinx, but let me assure you it speaks to the very nature of the reality we live in. And it has a simple answer: When is a camera not a camera? When the EU says it isn't.

...we'll have some rousing images of some flag or other being hoisted on Mars and be able to witness the collective head explosion of all the flat earthers, so there's something.
...the decade ahead promises to be even more chaotic, violent, transformative and—if we do not participate in the building up of meaningful alternatives—destructive decade in living memory...
So, my friends we arrive at the fork in the path. Down one route we see the promise of radical decentralization of everything, even currency itself.
...don’t think badly of yourself if you find it harder and harder. The insanity is reaching levels unexpected.
No, don't believe the headlines you've read in recent days. NATO will survive these little spats between political puppets just fine. Humanity, on the other hand . . .
The bottom line is that we are in some form of end game here and some form of reset is coming.
I'm so glad you've committed your life to fighting with us against the coming mass extinction! You have committed your life, right? Good.
Ignore their managed news misinformation and disinformation fake news. Follow reliable independent media, mainly online – the only way to stay informed on what’s vital to know.
