We can look to certain world "leaders" for confirmation of that.

Is it really a matter of "national security" when the technology at hand is being used in a way that unilaterally benefits a small class of oligarchs at the expense of the rest of society? That's not really in the benefit of the nation anymore, is it?

The illusion works only in places like American and Canadian suburbs in which residents depend entirely on cars for even the shortest trips. Everything takes 10-100x the space due to all the paved asphalt. It’s an intensely alienating approach to building infrastructure.

>...while the US digs in it's heels is infuriating.

And we shouldn't imply that this policy represents any sort of national consensus -- it's pure corruption plain and simple.

Nowadays the issue is that the “I’ve got nothing to hide” crowd assumes we all live in a society where laws are equally and sensibly enforced. That is demonstrably no longer the case under the prerogative state, which now includes ICE/CBP, DOJ, and FBI.

That sounds like an untestable hypothesis, aka conspiracy theory.

Technically they are circular episomes — not integrated into chromosomal DNA like HIV.

And we do know that it’s possible to reduce the pool of reactivation-competent HSV genomes by the presence of IFNα during primary infection:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12764766/

This causes PML-NB formation → more viral genomes with H3K9me3 + ATRX → resists eviction by the H3K9me3S10ph “methyl/phospho switch” → stops Phase I HSV transcription (and VP16 expression).

Who’s to say an HPI like IM-250 isn’t altering epigenetic markers in viral episomes in this way? Innovative Molecules’ own press release states that some sort of permanent or semi-permanent modification may take place:

>Furthermore, testing in animal models showed that adibelivir affected the latent viral reservoir, suggesting that it has potential as a long-term curative therapy for HSV.

This is desperately needed. I currently use https://freetubeapp.io/ but this seems to have more flexible deployment options.

IM-250 (Adibelivir) is a helicase-primase inhibitor that targets latent HSV so well it may actually permanently reduce the pool of viable latent HSV genomes.

I would say that if this sounds untenable to you, then you may want to consider that the way we architect software has itself been untenable for a while. What Mythos can accomplish today in public, an APT unit can already accomplish in secret.

It was a security contractor who leaked the creds. So this is already the increased privatization end-game.

>but it’s such a complex theory

What's the theory now? I didn't propose any specific theory -- just noted a mechanism of influence.
