ListenIn the time between the original airing of this podcast and its posting for preservation, a number of events have unfolded in such a manner it was as if the guest could see into the future. Or maybe it was more obvious than anticipated; either way, the eerily predictions that were made have come to fruition, and seem to be getting only worse for those involved in the upper levels in the field. This of course is the huge data mining/selling/vulnerability that was exposed with Facebook. In this episode, Jim’s guest Ellie Maloney makes the prediction that big data and data mining and selling from large companies will be one of the problems in the near future, and it so happened that this came true. In a recent expose’ , a former lead with Facebook blew the whistle and now Zuckerberg continues to face severe backlash.
In a recent interview, whistle blower Sandy Parakilas stated that “…one Facebook executive advised him against looking too deeply at how the data was being used, warning him: ‘Do you really want to see what you’ll find?’ Parakilas said he interpreted the comment to mean that ‘Facebook was in a stronger legal position if it didn’t know about the abuse that was happening’. He added: “They felt that it was better not to know. I found that utterly shocking and horrifying.” In addition to this these claims, Zuckerberg is now being formally requested to appear before the cultural committee for the UK, EU, and the US for an oral evidence session.
In addition to the somewhat prophetic nature of this episode, Ellie and Jim discuss very interesting topics for this show. One of the most perplexing questions presented is why have we not been back to the moon. Some claim that the cost and benefit of sending explorers to the moon is not worth the investment, others say there was no other reason after beating the Russians in the race. These are all plausible, but what if there was something else? With all of the heavy redactions on transcripts, missing footage and photos, and a number of other glaring oddities one can only question the story and is left theorizing what could be.
Jim and Ellie also discuss Area 51, quantum consciousness, ancient aliens, aliens meddling with our affairs, and others. “Ellie in a previous life, was a lawyer specializing in human rights. Now she writes fiction, consumes massive amounts of late night comedy and politics, collects typewriters, and lives all over the world with her spouse and a 5-yo Newfoundland dog.
