https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mJg2AOTpDg Another excellent interview with one of the few in the cryptocurrency space that not only "gets it"... the Anarcho Punk Distributed origins, the fundamental Raison D'Etre, and elemental requirement needed to succeed over and vs any fiat currency / coin... but who is actually brave enough to get out there on tour and on the tubes and talk about it. Thank you John McAfee.

Unz spends weeks perusing the literature, Holocaust apparently not founded in fact - [PEACE]

The truth will out yet, and DAMN it's been a long 70 years! This is one to forward far and wide, this meme is about to be busted, and the front runners are in for some seriously positive social karma: ** Mainstream Holocaust Narrative 'Substantially, if not Entirely, False' - Editor of Top US Conservative Site (Ron Unz) https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413… ------------------------------------------------------------ by Ron Unz The Unz Review (3,091 views) on Tue, Sep 25, 2018 The author spends a few weeks perusing the literature, which he summarizes in this 18,000 word article, and concludes that the Holocaust story relentlessly hammered into the public consciousness by Jewish-owned Hollywood and media is a load of baloney. He suspects that when the lie comes crashing down, a political earthquake will ensue. "I wouldn’t be surprised if our current Holocaust narrative eventually suffers that same fate (total collapse), perhaps with unfortunate consequences for those too closely associated with having maintained it." "Once I realized to my dismay that I couldn’t believe a word of what our media and political leaders said about major events in the here and now, their credibility on controversial happenings so long ago and far away entirely disappeared." ...

Australia's Attorney General Christian Porter: (literal) “it's OK to be white” senate motion does “confirm that the Government deplores racism of any kind” - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 18 Oct '18

18 Oct '18

PM Morrison should listen to his Attorney General already! For those who missed the memo, Australia's Attorney General Christian Porter rightly and appropriately opposed racism of any kind, including and especially (as according to this Australian Senate vote), "anti-white racism"! Well done AG Christian Porter! It really takes guts at this point in history to stand up for White folks politically and declare #ItsOkToBeWhite Unfortunately we only almost became a based nation - this vote was defeated 28 to 31. So sad. Australia's Pauline Hanson put forward the senate motion declaring "it's OK to be white". Australia's not so Prime minister Scott Morrison totally cucked out, evidently a cuckly race traitor: Morrison: “As the Leader of the Government in the Senate, I take responsibility for that error and I'm sorry that it happened. It is indeed regrettable.” Well if he wants to be the Cuck Monster, he can be the Cuck Monster. Thankfully conservative MP Luke Howarth said there was no need for the Government to apologise. Damn straight! Prime Minister Scott Morrison still has a chance to reclaim the magic and demonstrate some alpha "Kanye" energy by stating clearly that he opposes racism of all kinds, including racism against white people, and that the phrase "It's OK to be White" can certainly be seen as oppostion to anti-White racism. We'll see... Listen up politicians, there is no "sinister meaning" to the phrase "It's OK to be White"!! It simply means that it is, in actual firetrucking fact, OK to be a person with White skin! Seriously! The only reason the phrase has even caught on is the Marxist climate scourging the White race(s) around the world. We have a right to be proud of our individual and collective achievements, no matter what race "we" are. Whites happen to have achieved quite a lot and many in the world today are beneficiaries of the consequent White Privilege getting doled out around the world. (There's also a bunch of neo-colonialism and murder for MIC profit going on, which is despicable and absolutely must stop!) Is our Prime Minister so stupid that he cannot see this difference? Doesn't he know the simple differenc between good and evil? Perhaps he's Zio-cucked or compromised? MP "Penny Wong" (a trans lesbian) said "It's a phrase created by right-wing extremist groups in the United States". That's where you're wrong, Wong! The phrase was created by 4chan as a literal "harmless message": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_OK_to_be_white Who woulda thought that Penny Wong would undermine White people having a little pride in themselves, individually and collectively? Pauline Hanson rightly called out the incumbent parties claiming Mr Morrison and Senator Cormann must have woken up with "white guilt". "This Government is either so worried about the outcome of the weekend's Wentworth by-election that they feel the need to pander to left-wing extremists that believe it's not OK to be white, or they blindly vote on important motions, bills and legislation without proper consideration," Senator Hanson said in an earlier statement.

Is Making a Murderer a real documentary?
by Ryan Carboni 17 Oct '18

17 Oct '18

The key part to recognizing or analyzing improper situations is noticing out of character interactions. Making a Murderer has dramatic elements. When the defense attorney was questioning the FBI agent on the stand, the defense attorney’s approach was not unlike badgering. That sort of a approach only happens on television. This is strange since it isn’t a reenactment. So who was the audience at the time? Steven Avery?

Several years of Tempest (EMR-shielded) documentation (1985-2014): https://cryptome.org/nsa-tempest.htm Tempest timeline (1700s-2001) https://cryptome.org/tempest-time.htm Full compromising radiation protection is extremely hard to accomplish, maybe impossible, and the topmost is highly classified. Just about anything transmits radiation to a greater or lesser extent, bodies, clothing, air, feces, sweat, et al. Most protection systems transmit while seeming to block, in that way leaky like crypto. Crypto emanates. Your best friends and lovers and cohorts emanate, like GitHub. Perhaps join NSA, best of all one of its wizard contractors, or, if you get pretty good, USG or another spy agency they will grab you with an irresistable offer.

> "the possibility of change" Of course, corporations and people can and do change all the time. Corps, often when bought / sold, or with top level staff changeover.

And they often change back as well. > To a good approximation, literally *zero* percent of the organisations > which will benefit from "Opportunistic Onions" have ever used Onion > Services until now And they're not really involved with them under CF plan either.

Perhaps it is fully informed choices that should be respected.

True. > Yes, there is much to criticise of Cloudflare's past approach towards Tor > (including tweets by the CEO) Is the suggested accepted gone-ness of that phase now qualified by its current censorship actions. > Facebook [...] blocked a large number of Tor exit nodes > The civil society & reddit communities started commenting at speed, flaming > for "censorship" Is it not good that there is now such a global rapid response awareness and capability forming to tackle censorship, privacy, human rights, and other abuses by States, Religion, and Corporations as they happen in real time. > it apparently caused nothing but vitriol and bad headlines. Which mistakes are ultimately rightly resolved as oops with no lasting effect. At least the capability is excercised peacefully without physical force, no one dies. Unlike murder and other things by the trio above, and even just peoples too. > launching facebookcorewwwi [...] three years later the New York > Times launched its own onion site. > without constructive engagement we would > probably not be where we are today Right, and the above two stories are wins for both the sites and users, and many tech toolsets, and philosophy. However that's still rare, the historical pattern remains... 1) Users of site X notice or want something and say so openly in constructive engagement, or at least initial friendly query. 2) Site X ignores them, many times because they have no protocol to even talk with users, no interfacers, it's not in their biz plan / vision, or manageable, cut expenses, clam up. 3) Users escalate. Many of us have been deep in enough Site X's to know that (2) is the hard problem. There is a curious divide between vision / profit, and users. Maybe this blockchain thingy enables micro share and stake holding, and governance, to bridge it. Who knows. > with Onion SSL Certificates Not sure that letsencrypt does this yet, if not, they should. > an official ".onion" top-level domain Yes Jacob Appelbaum et al's work resulting in RFC7686 was good. Too bad a number of other efforts got jammed / quit, because I2P and other overlay networks are a thing now too. draft-grothoff-iesg-special-use-p2p-names-04 draft-grothoff-iesg-special-use-p2p-bit draft-grothoff-iesg-special-use-p2p-exit-00 draft-grothoff-iesg-special-use-p2p-gns-00 draft-grothoff-iesg-special-use-p2p-i2p-00 Too bad CJDNS is still improperly overloading upon address space that IANA has explicitly allocated for other purposes, causing collisions and general non-interoperability. Least they could do if they can't get an allocation, or could have done, is camped on some unallocated, and unlikely to ever be used, space instead. So there's always things userland [projects] can do better to play nice. (Well above was mostly technical example.) > an increasing number of "respectable" onion websites which > are putting the lie to the "Dark Web" mythos. Onionland has always been respectable from day one, only the nonrespectable disrespected it. And dark web has never been a lie, or a myth, though perhaps indeed a legendary thing. Even at its supposed worst maybe driving change in the face for good. > Tor, and Onion Networking, is just the "More Secure Web" Other overlay networks are More Secure Web too. Unless that too is trademarked and sic'd upon. > grow it by giving people and companies the opportunities and > space to engage ... so that they can offer value to others. Those open spaces exist, things compete in it, so capitalize above it and win. > rehashing old debates and historical enmities. Recounting things can be useful, not because they note any particular actors in example, but because they note the sort of things any person or entity might want to look out for before letting something new, and similarly afflicted, grow bigger without first being fixed. Arbitrarily killing speech, when there's [almost] nowhere left for speakers to speak, is pretty fucking lame. CF did that, so now others are too, seemingly spurred. And speech around the world suffers. Perhaps a fair number here like free speech zones and social credit scores too. Perhaps they've just not seen enough postings decrying that to change their minds otherwise. Perhaps such postings were chilled and censored. What seems a big CF onion celebration here could easily have unanalyzed pitfalls, whether currently, or upon change of mind later on... Here's a couple... a) Analysis / Attack 1) Grand excuse and cover for floating the immense number of nodes needed on the hashring... very convenient for analysis and exploit attacks, including by their NSA CIA LE and / or other unknown partners / researchers. 2) Terminating colossal numbers of circuits into their AS and or administrative realm for observation / similar. 3) Even unwittingly creating easy locus for GPA / GAA. b) Key material 1) Holding onion names hostage in [non] custodial / contractual form, whether they give subscribers the [offline] crypto keys, or sell / rent / extort them, portability, multihoming. 2) Security aganst keytheft breach and subsequent impersonation of the sites from behind 7 proxies, phishing, etc. Compensation for site and user losses. Consideration of (a) alone should chill this party out a bit.
