Folks, After 15+ years running a cypherpunks node, it's quitting time for me. I plan to delete the mailman aliases on September 30th. If anyone is interested in migrating the list to his or her machine before then, that would be great; let's discuss on-list. -=rsw

Lovely sweet guy. Hope he is honest enough to expose exactly who were the people banned in tor-talk list. Boyce, please, just pro-Jake people were banned or it was just a lovely coincidence? How about a bit of transparency, please? Thanks in advance!

Appelbaum, CDC, CCC http://www.itwire.com/business-it-news/open-source/73441-appelbaum-banned-f… Appelbaum banned from Debian events after sexual misconduct charges === Appelbaum has also been asked to leave other hacker groups like the Cult of the Dead Cow, Noisebridge, and will not be allowed to attend events organised by the hacker group Chaos Computer Club. === Are journos exaggerating at least for CCC?

https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/3oswdt/unusual_happenings_with… On SKYKING (8992 or 11175 kHz USB) a call sign called "COLLAPSE" which has not been heard since 2001 has just broadcasted 4 messages to numbered stations/units in the last few minutes. "FUXEBOX" and "Reykjavik," have also broadcast in the last few days and they haven't been heard since 1991 (collapse of the Soviet Union). "COLLAPSE" has sent 3 messages in the last few minutes. COLLAPSE message one: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1hGyA2GR6HI Collapse message Two: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1ETZ3l9fp0G Collapse message Three: http://vocaroo.com/i/s03ZI6ui70LY Message Four from "FLATTOP!" (ANOTHER STATION NOT HEARD IN YEARS!): http://vocaroo.com/i/s01smhgkyNDL We do not know what these codes mean, but it considered These are alerts to "All Stations" before the codes are sent. I did my best to record all these but missed recording "the alert phrase" where they said "All stations, all stations." This has all happened in the last half hour (0230-0304 EST). I didn't record these or write this up btw, this was a thread from 4chan that popped up on /pol/ Edit: Go here for updates http://www.defconwarningsystem.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=3269&start=30

Memory Hole

So what happened to Ian Murdock? According to wiki-cesspool "The last tweets from Murdock's Twitter account first announced that he would commit suicide, then said he would not. He reported having been assaulted by police, and having assaulted a police officer, then declared an intent to devote his life to opposing police abuse. His Twitter account was taken down shortly afterwards " That's super believable and super transparent, just what one would expect from the Free, Open, Democratic, Just and Benevolent Western Civilizatin, right?

Diary of a Person of Interest (Suzie Dawson @Suzi3d)

*https://suzi3d.com/ <https://suzi3d.com/>https://www.endarken.co.nz/ <https://www.endarken.co.nz/>* What is it like to be a ‘Person of Interest‘ to major Western intelligence agencies? Why did they target me? How did they target me? What do they want? How should targets respond to the intrusions into their lives? My first ever full-length film, featuring yours truly, has been released and answers these questions. It roughly covers the period from when I was initally targeted in October 2011 to when I went into exile in January 2015. See Diary of a Person of Interest: *https://vimeo.com/181517859 <https://vimeo.com/181517859>Orhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KaxGN9WgRU <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KaxGN9WgRU>*

Yahoo is sued for gross negligence over huge hacking http://www.reuters.com/article/us-yahoo-cyber-lawsuit-idUSKCN11T2LF ==== Yahoo Inc (YHOO.O) was sued on Friday by a user who accused it of gross negligence over a massive 2014 hacking in which information was stolen from at least 500 million accounts. ... Ronald Schwartz, a New York resident, sued on behalf of all Yahoo users in the United States whose personal information was compromised. The lawsuit seeks class-action status and unspecified damages. ==== Pretty sure Yahoo have disclaimer they are "gross negligent", so the suing is doomed, unless the morons failed to make such disclaimer.
