Update 4: November 7
Theme of the Week: Is the crackdown coming?
The World Health Organization has taken special interest in the "Superstructure" approach to humanity's existential threats. It was announced that the WHO would invest significant resources into the "superstructure" approach to solving critical problems.
Governments around the world, however, are acting more aggressively to contain the ReDS threat by using more stringent quarantine measures. Measures are even being tightened in the United States as the death toll continues to mount. Popular support grows for more draconian measures.
The bombing attack against three major pharmaceutical companies. apparently in retaliation for perceived profiteering with ReDS drug pricing, has created a backlash against ReDS activists and civil liberties advocates. These groups have come under increased scrutiny as potential terror threats.
Yet even as superstructures gain in influence, government security forces in the US and abroad beginning to crack down on them. The lateral, non-hierarchical nature of these alliances seems inherently threatening to authority-driven government organizations. These fears surface in the form of suspicions that superstructures might be used to recruit government officials and others into subversive activities (or projects and activities which have not been sanctioned by government authorities).
Yet people continue to superstruct. The Superstruct Defense Network has formed to defend superstructures against government intrusion and disruption. This aggregation of law enforcement, analytical, publicity, and political groups hopes to create an atmosphere that will permit superstructures to continue their good work improving humanity's survival odds.
Community Public Health Outreach is enhancing - and in some places supplanting - government medical relief efforts. This coalition of goverment and private sector organizations has already placed mobile clinics, portable testing physicians, and "house call" physicians throughout New York City and elsewhere.
Some people are banding together to create "reverse quarantines" by creating the false impression that their family or their community is infected with ReDS. While this may keep outsiders away, it may also provoke attacks such as that which took place against a ReDS hospice in Birmingham, England last month.
And the Medical Zone Administrator who sang a "ReDS Blues" song last week on the Internet has been relieved of duty and detained. Authorities believe the song he sang contained coded messages which triggered the attacks on the pharmaceutical makers. He has released a covert video explaining his situation.
