Someone forgot to tell him he was NOT the top banana in the Feudal world. He's nuts, sorry, no matter his financial experience, and he didn't run that 'multi-billion dollar company' for long. He sold it, and it probably wasn't a multi-billion dollar company when sold Symantec did that, and I'm calling him for megalomania and psychopathic lying for self aggrandizement

"schism"'s reply is about as apt and useful as it gets. For reference: It is my experience that such forks are borne of individuals resenting the friction inherent of open forums, not of wishing free and open discourse. If a forum is explicitly open and yet you experience resistance to your ideas there are two probable causes. One is that those resisting are fools, the other is that you're full of shit. One would do best to consider both equally (even simultaneously) probable. Also Georgi Guninski's: If you ask me, the current list is going well and nobody got banned for trolling about politics.

We're happy to announce the release v0.0.2 of Repbin: The replicated, encrypted, distributed and anonymized pastebin. Changes include: Better terminal usability, sqlite/mysql backend, binaries! Check here for release source code and client binaries: https://github.com/repbin/repbin/releases/tag/v0.0.2 About Repbin: Repbin is an encrypted pastebin for the command line that runs over Tor! Repbin servers form a distributed network where nodes sync posts with each other (like in Usenet or BBS/Fido systems). This makes Repbin resilient and scalable. Repbin focuses on privacy (encrypted messages) and anonymity (padding and repost chains). To limit spam and denial-of-service attacks, Repbin uses the Hashcash proof-of-work algorithm which is widely known from Bitcoin mining.

How Putin Controls the Internet and Popular Opinion in Russia
by grarpamp 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

https://theintercept.com/2015/09/08/how-putin-controls-the-russian-internet/ The key paragraph in Andrei Soldatov and Irina Borogan’s new book, The Red Web, comes surprisingly late, after the authors have described the long and ambitious construction of a wide-ranging, all-penetrating Internet surveillance and censorship system in Russia. ... Just as the Soviet system discovered that it did not need to exert total pressure in order to control its population, so the Kremlin has now demonstrated that it does not need to block every byte in order to exert utter dominance over information.

A list about assassination politics means and methods advancing and implementing the original could lead to a round-up of those with too few degrees of separation since 1992.

John's a joke and has few if any practical answers to the social and economic ills that plague the U.S. OTOH, Mike "Mish" Shedlock has thought deeply and written extensively.

If its only about politics, why add to the monotonous brain-rot drivel. Cypherpunks list covers politics and everything else, without chopping up into marked-up and branded packages: politics, civil liberties, NSA, crypto, privacy, online diddly. each with its own political agenda, lobbyists, PACs, Dear Leaders, bribery, followers, deranged oligarchs. Sure, cypherpunks suffers from the same diseases as politics but, praise the holy founders, suffers them all at once, not piecemeal, so develops anti-bodies for all of them, to send the worms and germs to fight it out on monodrone-weakened corpuses. Finally, last two hours of a question soon over, cypherpunks has gone through a long list of failures due to politics rising to the surface as if that's all there is worth cut-throating about. Offshoots have been set up to avoid politics as a topic, or some other forbidden fruit iconizing a moderator's tits and ads. From those cpunk-siphoning Ashley Madisons have come weirdly deformed creatures and mindsets, missing some capabilities, overloaded with others -- evolving into the frankensteins of secretkeeping, thematic dwarfs and thuggish giants, you might say, like politicians and their sharks, press agents, campaign and polling leeches determined and amply paid to make politics the premier gobbler of subscribers' beliefs and fellow soldiers of murderous religion.
