[WAR] "Trump will destroy US foreign policy" - a damn good thing?

Depraved Clinton War Criminal Says Trump Will Destroy US Foreign Policy Madeleine Albright openly condoned the slaughter of 500,000 Iraqi children http://www.infowars.com/clinton-war-criminal-says-trump-has-destroyed-us-fo… (Alt: http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/clinton-war-criminal-says-trump-has-d… ) CNN rolled out the old war horse Madeleine Albright on Tuesday to push the Putin conspiracy angle on the DNC leak. Albright told the convention Donald Trump had “already done damage” to American foreign policy “just by running for president.” She said defeating Trump would represent a defeat for Putin and the Russians. “Putin is eager to see Trump win, and that should worry every American,” she said. “Take it from someone who fled the Iron Curtain—I know what happens when you give the Russians a green light.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IITvNeh0r0E Secretary of Hate The damage inflicted by Albright when she was “Secretary of Hate,” as Bob Djurdjevic ( http://www.srpska-mreza.com/library/facts/Mad.html ) characterized her time at the State Department, is almost incalculable. In 1998, as Bill Clinton unleashed cruise missiles on Iraq, murdering dozens of civilians in response to Saddam Hussein thumbing his nose at the United Nations, Albright declared: “If we have to use force, it is because we are America. We are the indispensable nation. We stand tall. We see farther into the future.” In 2013, she admitted the bombing of Yugoslavia by her boss was illegal, but decided it was fair. Clinton teamed up with NATO in 1999 and conducted 38,400 sorties, including 10,484 strike sorties, in a terror bombing campaign that lasted 78 days and destroyed infrastructure, commercial buildings, schools, health institutions, media houses and cultural monuments. In addition to convincing Clinton to bomb Yugoslavia with depleted uranium and cluster munitions to force Slobodan Milošević to sign the Rambouillet peace accord, she pushed to send US troops to Bosnia, according to the recollection of then Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, Colin Powell. Hillary Clinton celebrated the illegal attack. In October 2000, The New York Times ( http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2011/03/hillarys_war.html ) reported Clinton “cited American involvement in Bosnia and Kosovo as examples of foreign engagements she favored on moral and strategic grounds.” Clinton urged her husband to bomb Yugoslavia without congressional approval and said what “do we have NATO for if not to defend our way of life?” NATO also defended the way of life of the Kosovo Liberation Army, a terrorist gang of ethnic Albanian separatists. The KLA effort for an independent Kosovo supported by Albright and the United States encouraged similar terrorist groups in the Balkans, the Middle East, and Russia. The Kosovo precedent was responsible for inspiring Chechen terrorists in Russia and the murder of scores of Russian citizens. Career Achievement: 500,000 Dead Children Albright’s crowning achievement, however, was the murder of half a million Iraqi children under a brutal and medieval sanctions regime imposed on the country by the United States and the United Nations. “We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?” asked Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes asked Albright in 1996. “I think this is a very hard choice, but the price—we think the price is worth it,” Albright responded. On Tuesday, the war criminal Albright warmed up the crowd for Bill Clinton, described at the time of the Yugoslavia bombing raid by Edward Herman as the world’s “leading active war criminal.” The crowd was clueless about the magnitude of the crimes committed—and those to be committed if Hillary Clinton wins. The corporate media once again failed to note the complicity of Albright and Clinton in mass murder and crimes against humanity, preferring instead to dwell on the alleged DNC hacking by Vladimir Putin, an accusation without definitive evidence that is now passed off as a fait accompli. --------

Even niche tech which has at least one dedicated hacker hobbyist, will dominate a corresponding proprietary offering over the medium term. Employee programmers choosing (when they have the choice) proprietary over libre software, are simply yet to discover their true self interest maximization potential (over the long term). Once any proprietary tech is effectively monetized by an individual or company with libre tech, they will over the medium to long term completely dominate the company doing the proprietary tech. The more individuals and groups/companies with an economic vested interested in a particular libre tech, the faster that group will accelerate away from any and all proprietary alternatives, over the medium to long term. Proprietary tech is merely a temporary historical anomaly, existing pursuant to the lack of awareness of the relevant actors as to their maximal self interest in the medium to long term.

Hi, Justin! Hope you are doing fine! :) I liked your project a lot and forwarded the message you had originally sent to the list "Data Driven Journalism and Open Data in Journalism" to two different lists. A Brazilian guy wants to talk with you about the project. He contacted me and I asked to talk directly to you.

“The Real Terrorist Was Me And The Real Terrorism Is This Occupation” | Ex U.S. Soldier July 27, 2016 by Dane Arr http://prepareforchange.net/2016/07/27/the-real-terrorist-was-me-and-the-re… Many of us have been awake to the reality of the world being dominated by a Cabal, using control of the media , banking and governments to wage war on innocent people, all of it facilitated by a high level agreement on “population control”, which has become an agreement to decimate populations whenever possible using every policy that they (the Cabal) can implement. At this point, in Cabal controlled countries, almost every function of government, originally created to serve the public, now serves the depopulation agenda. Healthcare, food production, law enforcement, the judiciary, media and in the case of this Youtube video the act of patriotism and defending one’s country has been subverted to become a part of the doctrine of “continuous war” wherein troops are deployed to defend their country under false pretenses and then encouraged to believe everyone there is a “terrorist” or “insurgent”, and that they should be killed under the flimsiest of pretexts. When they do, there is no accountability, other than being rewarded for doing so. This has been the case since the Vietnam War and 911 triggered invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq set off the most egregious case of this mindless slaughter of innocents. The soldiers involved enlist under false impressions about what they will be doing, and then are lured into what can only be called mass murder by the situations they are thrust into and the mind control they are subjected to. This young man has come forward, just as so many have in the past, filled with sorrow and remorse over what has happened in his life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__lHWifCtWM ----- Forwarded message from Jim ----- Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2016 13:05:25 +1000 From: Jim <jim.sovereign(a)optusnet.com.au> Subject: “The Real Terrorist Was Me And The Real Terrorism Is This Occupation” | Ex U.S. Soldier.

US NY DA Wants Crypto Rolled Back
by grarpamp 28 Jul '16

28 Jul '16

http://www.tomsguide.com/us/vance-phone-decrypt-iccs,news-23050.html Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. called on Apple and Google to weaken their device encryption, arguing that thousands of crimes remained unsolved because no one can crack into the perpetrators' phones. Vance, speaking at the International Conference on Cyber Security here, said that law enforcement officials did not need an encryption "backdoor," sidestepping a concern of computer-security experts and device makers alike. Instead, Vance said, he only wanted the encryption standards rolled back to the point where the companies themselves can decrypt devices, but police cannot. This situation existed until September 2014, when Apple pushed out iOS 8, which Apple itself cannot decrypt. "Tim Cook was absolutely right when he told his shareholders that the iPhone changed the world," Of course without actually seeing what's on the phones such claims "unsolved" cannot be made. Even more stupid since telcos, providers and NSA have backups of same data.

Civil Disobedience prize/ monetary award

July 27th, 2016 Disobedience Has Its Award http://fossforce.com/2016/07/disobedience-award/#more-1594540 Christine Hall Civil disobedience gets its due with the creation of a special award that was announced at last week’s Forbidden Research symposium at MIT. News & Analysis As one whose early early political education, after I was old enough to quit listening to my father and think for myself, came largely from the various civil disobedience factions in the 1960s, it’s heartening to see that disobedience now has an award. So far it’s one off, but if successful might be repeated and perhaps be awarded annually. The award will also offer the recipient more than mere accolades, as it’s attached to a $250,000 prize. The MIT Media Lab Disobediance award was announced at Thursday’s Forbidden Research symposium ( http://www.media.mit.edu/events/forbidden/overview ) at MIT and was later the subject of a blog post by Joi Ito ( https://medium.com/mit-media-lab/rewarding-disobedience-ae194d9f0785#.i6se1… ), the director of MIT Media Lab. The cash comes by way of a donation from Reid Hoffman, the executive chairman of LinkedIn, who evidently has some disposable cash after last month’s announced deal that will see Microsoft taking control of the social site he co-founded for $26.2 billion. According to Ito, the award “will go to a person or group engaged in what we believe is excellent disobedience for the benefit of society. The disobedience that we would like to call out is the kind that seeks to change society in a positive way, and is consistent with a set of key principles. The principles include non-violence, creativity, courage, and taking responsibility for one’s actions. The disobedience can be in – but is not limited to – the fields of scientific research, civil rights, freedom of speech, human rights, and the freedom to innovate.” Michael Petricone with the Consumer Electronics Association, has tweeted a suggestion ( https://twitter.com/mpetricone/status/757524702206259200 ) that the award be named in honor of hactivist Aaron Swartz. On Tuesday, Mike Masnick seconded that notion ( https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20160725/23412635066/mit-media-lab-launch… ) on Techdirt. I’ll gladly throw my hat into that ring. MIT owes him at least that much.
