1984! US Senate Launches Forfeiture and Crypto / Cash / Assets / Prepaid War

https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/1241/text http://www.article78againstnydfs.com/advocacy.php This is a new bill that was introduced on the floor of the US Senate entitled, Combating Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and Counterfeiting Act of 2017. It basically says everything is evil.. Cash is Evil Bitcoin/Crypto is Evil Prepaid Phones are Evil Gift Cards/Vouchers/Coupons are Evil These people are certifiably insane. Among the bills sweeping provisions, the government aims to greatly extend its authority to seize your assets through Civil Asset Forfeiture. CALL YOUR CONGRESS AND SENATORS TO TELL THEM TO NOT SIGN THIS, EMAIL WORKS AS WELL, DONT HAVE TO BE IN THOSE STATES TO SEND A GOOD MESSAGE https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/about/members https://cohesionsoftware.github.io/ A two minutes phone call to the local U.S. senator's office can prevent the sort of debate that happened in Florida (and compare that with how it happened in New Hampshire) https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6hbis7/us_congress_going_full_198… https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/6hbhnp/americans_heads_up_congr… https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/6hccra/senate_bill_s_1241_is_a… World government's getting scared of world's peoples, crypto, etc...

free speech, poor children, Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters, and the Israel lobby
by Zenaan Harkness 08 Nov '18

08 Nov '18

So the Israel lobby notches one up against poor children - from Miami, America, not Palestine that is. MIAMI: Local officials force children out of performance with Roger Waters http://theduran.com/miami-local-officials-force-children-out-of-performance… Where normal basement dwelling deplorables do it for the lulz, these guys do it for the optics (yeah baby! lookin' great there keep it up yo!!) - they seem to have a real nose for this "looking great" thing. ((("American" anti pro-Palestinian lobby groups)))? Jew've all been there before of course, and so cheating some literally poor school kids out of an onstage performance participation with Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters and his band is right up there with some of (((their))) greatest "Great Optics" hits yet! You see there's this unspoken race between CNN, the Jew York Times and the various Israel lobbies to see who can be the most despicable (making up for calling 50% of American voters deplorable?) - when first the NYT accurately (not) quoted the Christian bible to say St. Paul ordered Christians to ‘execute’ homosexuals: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/06/19/gaffe-century-nyt-says-s… and CNN decisively upped the ante with their doxxing of a deplorable basement dweller who was likely not the creator of an annoying (to CNN) meme (see recent thread), and so with the Council for Foreign Relations throwing their hat into the ring reaching heights of retardedness we'd only dreamed of, you have a real challenge that the Israel lobby just can't avoid striving to beat. Damnably impressive stuff boys! We did not expect such an immediate response to the CFR's recent bout with Tuck. And here we were thinking the CFR was something -other- than a comedy production unit at CNN. Notch another brick in the wall boys - we're sure CNN will tackle this new "how low can you go" hurdle, but dang, removing life experiences from poor kids is gonna be hard for them to beat! About the only thing that could top this is a public punch on between Soros and Orban in person, as the tea leaves are predicting: Hungary PM says Soros’ criticism is a ‘declaration of war’ http://www.news.com.au/finance/work/leaders/soros-criticism-is-declaration-… 'A useful punching bag': why Hungary's Viktor Orbán has turned on George Soros https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/22/hungary-viktor-orban-george-s… Orban launches personal battle with Soros over Hungary http://www.dw.com/en/orban-launches-personal-battle-with-soros-over-hungary… Stay classy cabal, stay classy!

Funniest “Liberals” in the world - right in the heart of Russia
by Zenaan Harkness 20 Oct '18

20 Oct '18

Trigger warning: some will most likely find the following rather scandalous, since it contains facts. Trigger warning: facts may cause you to get upset. And not only are facts in the following, but facts which scandalize Russian liberals, liberals in general, evidence that "Putler done it", and of course that old bug bear which MUST NEVER BE MADE FUN OF, that is (((those whom YOU BETTER BLOODY WELL NOT CRITICIZE, OR CNN WILL EFFING COME AFTER YOUR ARSE PERSONALLY MUFUGGALA!!‼‼!¡‼!))). So be warned, FACTS follow, rambunctious word-of-the-day, in your face type of facts. Even if they are only anecdotal facts and therefore cannot possibly impugn an entire tribe of chosen bastards as “statistically insane”, the following facts may well trigger you, SNOWflake! So READ NO FURTHER. You have been warned!! The following from its summary may -sound- like it's a decidedly dastardly deed dressed drunge-ily for daily deconsumption in bland newspeak, but fear not :D, it rapidly descends into abject politically incorrect dark humour: ** BLAME PUTIN: Russian Oppositionist Journalist Was Attacked by Deranged Israeli Resident https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413… ------------------------------------------------------------ by Anatoly Karlin on Wed, Oct 25, 2017 An anti-Putin journalist gets her throat slashed by an intruder forcing his way into one of the last bastions of “free, independent journalism” in Russia. Now this one's precious - more snowflakey liberal "freedom lovers" urging that facts not be published, especially facts highlighting the depths of war mongering depravity of the CIA. Like sure, SURE, in this day and age, NO ONE would ever find out about your request to cover up facts that might hurt the CIA's "fantastic" image. Why didn't I realize? What was I even thinking? Seriously this is an actual request, and genuinely made by the "PropOrNot" Ministry idiots who produced that 200+ website “glory list” of which alt-news websites are absolutely, unequivocally Russian propaganda outlets financed by Putin personally, and therefore SHOULD NEVER BE READ lest they tarnish our minds with something other than “Liberal Democratic” ideas! Yes, the levels of self parody are utterly astounding. These are levels of winning unheard of even a year ago! We're not quite at Peak Winning, but we're well on the way folks - knock 'em out Cory Feldman, and thank you for opening the floodgates :) Read it and weep with relief that Morons Incorporated are literally melting down, publicly, on many fronts (i.e., not just the USA's DNC and CNN duet :D) ** Group Combating 'Russian Propaganda' Urges Reporter to Drop Story on CIA Arming Syrian Rebels (PropOrNot) https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413… ------------------------------------------------------------ by RT on Wed, Oct 25, 2017 A group that claims to be fighting against Russian propaganda and “fake news” is asking a reporter not to pursue information on the CIA arming Syrian rebels. PropOrNot, famous for being an ex-source for the Washington Post, says the story may fall into the wrong hands. On Thursday, Jason Leopold, a senior investigative reporter at Buzzfeed, tweeted that he had filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the CIA for documents related to the US arming Syrian rebels. PropOrNot beseeched him to drop its case in a tweet. The “inclusive” "liberal" and “culturally sensitive” European Union is really cementing its values and heading for a long lasting, world renowned and oh-so-loved continuance - - ... or something :) ;D ** Latvia Proposes to Force Latvian-Only Schools on Its Russian Minority https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413… ------------------------------------------------------------ by TASS on Wed, Oct 25, 2017 The decision to switch educational instruction in Latvia’s schools for national minorities to the Latvian language is a violation of the European Union’s legal framework and resembles linguistic genocide, member of Russia’s State Duma (lower house) International Affairs Committee, Sergey Zheleznyak, told reporters on Monday. Earlier in the day, Latvian Minister of Education and Science Karlis Sadurskis said the aforementioned move is necessary for forming a unified political nation. ** Russia Wields Its Own Brand of Christian Conservative Soft Power https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413… ** Trump Trashes Iran Deal to Satisfy Netanyahu https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413… ** Serbian Defense Chief Blasts US 'Ultimatum' to Choose Between Russia or the West https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413… ** Russia Uranium Deal Turns Spotlight on Hillary But Not the Way She Wanted https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413…

[WAR] Yugoslavia - Wrongly Accused: The Absolution of Slobodan Milošević (by the ICT)
by Zenaan Harkness 08 Oct '18

08 Oct '18

USA destruction of countries - in recent times in our consciousness and the public discourse are the following: - Iraq'a WMDs (non existent) - Libya's "liberation" from its civil war - Syria's chemical weapons (supplied by the CIA it turns out) But the war to destroy Yugoslavia has only just ended with the International Criminal Tribunal's case against Slobodan Milošević finally ending. USA, you have an extremely large debt to the world. ** Wrongly Accused: The Absolution of Slobodan Milošević (http://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413c…) ------------------------------------------------------------ by Quintus Curtius on Wed, Aug 31, 2016 Those of us who had some involvement in Bosnian peacekeeping efforts many years ago might be astonished to learn that, after all the propaganda, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) finally exonerated Slobodan Milošević of wrongdoing in the Bosnian War of the early 1990s. This result is nothing less than shocking. The full text of the judgment can be found here. Read more » (http://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413c…)

Signal on the Desktop, Plays FBI Subpoena
by grarpamp 26 Jul '18

The makers of Signal, Open Whisper Systems, profoundly disappointed law enforcement. The app collects as little data as possible and therefore was unable to hand anything useful over to agents. "That's not because Signal chose not to provide logs of information," ACLU lawyer Brett Kaufman told the Associated Press. "It's just that it couldn't." "The Signal service was designed to minimize the data we retain," Moxie Marlinspike, the founder of Open Whisper Systems, told the New York Times. The subpoena came with a yearlong gag order that was successfully challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union. Signal's creators challenged the gag order as unconstitutional, "because it is not narrowly tailored to a compelling government interest." The challenge was successful. In addition to being popularly considered the best consumer encrypted messaging app available, Signal's technology is used by Facebook for Secret Conversations, WhatsApp for encrypted messages, and Google's Allo. Confronted with the subpoena, Marlinspike went to the ACLU for legal counsel. The ACLU responded with a letter saying that even though Signal did not have data the FBI sought, it still strenuously objected (PDF) to the fact the FBI wanted so much information.
