some more alt history - Tsar Nicholas II

To my never-taught-history western schooled brain cell (which fires but occasionally, which even that some doubt) the following is simply interesting. Trigger warning, the interview is with a historian who has strong Orthodox Christian beliefs and comes across as proselytizing at times, but the depth of anecdotes may be considered worthwhile, even for existentialists among us - bloody motley lot we all are :D PS, on pasting in the title and byline, I note that the interview is not an interview, but is a series of written 'answers' to reader questions, by one Father Andrew Phillips, so I should be worried if he were not staunch in his Christianity :) :) It's quite a long read... Everything You Know About The Last Russian Tsar Is a Massive Lie. Here’s The Truth "These members of the upper classes (and not all were traitors) were sponsored from the beginning by the West. The West considered that once its values of parliamentary democracy, republicanism or constitutional monarchy were introduced into Russia, it would become just another bourgeois Western country." Father Andrew Phillips (Orthodox England) Father Andrew Phillips, is a long-serving priest in the ROCOR Orthodox church in Essex, UK. http://www.events.orthodoxengland.org.uk/the-glimmer-of-light-on-the-road-a… In this January 2013 article, he answers readers’ questions about the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II, debunking decades of deliberate, slanderous lies coming from the media, academia, and governments of the UK, Germany, and America, but mostly from the UK.

So you agree with libertarian/anarchist anti-government views, but you still want yet another government scam? That doesn't seem to make much sense... > I think its naive to think that those whom own farms and > the like will just give the fruits of their labour away. It's naive to assume that any worker is going to give away the fruits of his labor unless threatened by government. That's why government uses lethal force to collect taxes, so they can fund a 'universal' 'basic' 'income', among other scams. > What is the > common person to do, once McDonalds and Burger King have been fully > automated? I don't know and it's pretty much irrelevant. Actually, in a free market there would be no such stupid corporatist jokes like mcdonalds. >according to bls.gov (I never heard of them before, > but .gov so whatever), they employ 520k jobs. How else would you > propose to employ these people, who (including my unemployed ass at > this point) are largely underemployed? Of course it you start with government premises you'll arrive at government conclusions...

Universal Basic Income

http://www.cnbc.com/2016/11/04/elon-musk-robots-will-take-your-jobs-governm… https://medium.com/emergent-culture/an-exciting-new-idea-in-basic-income-b1… Computing the math on this now... needs more GPU. "There is a pretty good chance we end up with a universal basic income, or something like that, due to automation," says Musk to CNBC. "Yeah, I am not sure what else one would do. I think that is what would happen." In a country with universal basic income, each individual gets a regular check from the government. Switzerland considered instituting a universal basic income of 2,500 Swiss francs ($2578) a month this summer. Voters ultimately rejected the plan, but it sparked a broad, global conversation. Also this summer, President Obama addressed the idea of a universal basic income in an interview with the Director of MIT's Media Lab, Joi Ito, and Scott Dadich, editor in chief of WIRED: "Whether a universal income is the right model — is it gonna be accepted by a broad base of people? — that's a debate that we'll be having over the next 10 or 20 years."

Well instead of spambotting and asskissing one of those two equally boring and reasonably well known sides every day... why don't you share with us any proven approaches (backed by actual documented wins [1]) of the SC movement you mentioned some curating / familiar with, as it may exist around the world today. They seem pretty punk, right? [1] You know, in real court / news docs, not just the SC's talking shit on their own twitwebs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_citizen_movement

https://mascherari.press/untangling-the-dark-web-hackfest-november-2016/ SJL giving really great talk, visualizations, and extensions to what a few of us have been researching / knowing on darkweb for a decade. +1. "So a quick overview of the agenda - I'm going to start off with a very quick introduction to hidden service operational security - I'm not going to bore you with how Tor works, the base model you need for this talk is much smaller. With that I am going to give you a quick tour through my top 5 risks to anonymous systems from some research that I conducted at the beginning of the year. Then we going to get into the heart of the talk, and I am going to lead you through my last few months of research investigating exactly how anonymous the dark web is. And with that we are going to look at a few case studies..."

This list has become a fucking cesspool, aided and abetted by you and your comrades. ---- Few days ago, I felt really bad, horrible when received a private message of a sweet woman, telling me how much she would like to answer to some messages, to interact and to share informations and her opinion about interesting subjects, but she feels so afraid of being attacked, of disgusting aggressive answers, of being harassed that she always prefers to keep the silence. :( ** We are losing good informations, technical and personal opinions of good people, good professionals, because this list is _not_ healthy, is too aggressive. ** I really do not care so much about what happened/is happening to me, but it scared a lot of more sensitive persons here. The cyberbullying was/is being more violent and repetitive, with rape menaces, subscriptions in disgusting dating sites, stupid spam messages, etc, etc, *because I am a woman*. It was very evident and disgusting, very coward. I was described as _lesbian_ hot Japanese slut in one of the dating sites, and _bisexual_ hot Latin woman in another one. Hey, wasn't I a pervert, almost killing myself because of _male_ musky laps few days ago? Haha!! I really love musky smells, but not enough to kill me for them, haha!! ;) Also received (and I am still receiving) hundreds of spam messages asking me to subscribe in 'dating sites'. Some of them were involuntarily funny like "Latin Women Searching For American Husbands" or "Senior Dating", what explains all the "geriatric diapers" spam received. ;) It's annoying, disgusting, gross. The intention was to humiliate and to hurt me. It is _not_ healthy to see so much hate, but it is _not_ mine. Obviously only sick bad people do this kind of thing. Aff... :P A wise friend always say, "The path to inner peace begins with just four words: "Not my f*¢king problem!", and he is correct. So much pathological hate needs psychiatric and psychological support. Getting a life would be good too! ;) Sincerely? It is being stressing and I already lost important time managing everything, but I am strong enough to survive very well and kick some asses very hard. ** What really annoys me is knowing that some sensitive persons here never will write anything on this list because of this oppressive dictatorship of fear and bad words. ** I use bad words because they are very 'expressive', but they are really aggressive to a great part of people and it isn't a good thing, is disrespectful. Unhappily, some people here don't understand "please ...", but understand very well "please &%#@...". Troll dialet, sorry. :( We can do this mailing list more _useful_ and _sane_ to everybody, _less harmful_ to some people. We should try it, at least. Ceci Obs: - Lots of late private answers. Sorry, had a little accident and I am having some personal problems. And bizarre problems in another list, ugh! :P Do you believe we were discussing Yahoo, NSA, privacy, moral damages, etc, in a Brazilian _technical_ private group of studies of Law and Technology, and a friend of mine decided to discuss NSA, USA elections and _the return of Jesus Christ_ too? :-/ God, I do love this guy, he was already an activist and professor before my birth, but discussing Jesus Christ, Satan, USA elections, etc, in a technical, specifically focused group, where all the members collaborate to make more efficient the Brazilian judicial procedures using technology, made me think about this list and really panicked me. Ugh, fear! :-/

Be *extremely* careful who you are teaching to encrypt and reducing their audit surface, such as corrupt politicians... or any politician for that matter... lest they begin to use it when you're not in the room... against you. Performing (daily / overall) role as a public servant, particularly in domestic (not foreign) issues, arguably has miniscule need for comms encryption. Need for authentication yes.
