🇧🇫 Burkina Faso begins processing its own gold

Burkina Faso's President Ibrahim Traore inaugurates the country's first-ever gold refinery

The $19 million Raffinor-BF plant in Ouagadougou can refine 164 tonnes a year at first, with plans to scale up to 515 tonnes — and potentially process gold from across West Africa

Traore says the goal is to build the entire gold value chain at home and cut dependence on foreign companies

I've been experimenting with "Fauxx," an open-source Android privacy app that fights behavioral profiling by feeding trackers plausible fake behavior rather than merely blocking them.

It runs synthetic searches, visits websites, performs DNS lookups, loads ad-heavy pages, and maintains rotating fake “personas” with coherent device identities. The idea is to make your genuine interests harder for data brokers and advertising systems to distinguish from deliberately generated decoy interests. You can optionally tell it your actual demographics/interests so it generates activity deliberately unlike yours; that information remains encrypted on-device. It has no accounts, cloud storage, analytics, or telemetry.

The F-Droid “Full” edition includes ad-profile pollution, which the Google Play version omits because of Google policies. Current F-Droid version 0.7.1 requires Android 8+.

In short: an ad blocker tries to prevent surveillance; Fauxx tries to make the resulting surveillance data unreliable.

Now Psychology Today is tearing apart the claim Havana Syndrome could be mass hysteria. The claims of mass hysteria are coming straight from Cabal assets trying to put the Genie back in the bottle and preserve the secrecy of the tool they have been using happily for decades, entirely in secret, to fuck up people’s lives and alter their life-courses. But here is a major outlet, which must be under the control of one of the major players in the nation, and it is helping to expose the existence of the Havana Weapon. It points to a changing of the guard which is in process.

The United States Postal Service is running a pilot program to put cameras in its mail carrier trucks that continuously scan roads and signs, map roadways and sidewalks, to improve “community safety,” according to a letter posted by a labor union and a statement from the agency to 404 Media. The idea is that, since the trucks are constantly traveling anyway, they can be used as a way to collect data, eventually potentially across the nation. I suspect they were already there, and have been for some time, hence the Postal Service Truck of Death phenomenon. When they parked those trucks there, somewhere, somebody in a control room would have the video up on the big screen. They might be afraid when everything comes out, it will look bad if the cameras come to light, and they had been running them covertly. This brings them out into the open, and lets them claim it is old news. For that matter I have noted on the spectrum analyzer when some surveillance cars pass, there is a burst of about 2.4 Ghz, which I suspect is either them blasting the house with a WiFi beam to see inside, or they are backdooring routers in homes as they pass to upload whatever they monitor, from hidden video cameras on the car to rf spectrum analysis data.

🪖 🇺🇸 🇮🇶 U.S. service members remain in Iraq in diplomatic support, embassy security, and training/advisory roles, but the U.S. military presence associated with Operation Inherent Resolve has ended, closing out more than 12 years of U.S.-led combat operations against ISIS in Iraq.
