THOTholm Syndrome is literally a thing - Fifty Shades of Bublé - [PEACE] [TDS]

Did Michael Bublé’s Vagina-Worship Music Literally Give His Son Cancer? https://dailystormer.name/did-michael-bubles-vagina-worship-music-literally… … Now, new evidence has emerged of what Science has long since suspected – that in addition to spiritual cancer and cancer-like effects, the music of Michael Bublé also literally causes cancer. THOTholm syndrome direct link: https://dailystormer.name/metoo-protest-slut-gets-drunk-sleeps-with-man-acc… #MeToo Protest Slut Gets Drunk, Sleeps With Man, Accuses of Rape; Man Arrested … “I was determined to rape her – but then she pushed me, so I gave up.” “I guess I tried to force myself on her,” Alperin allegedly told authorities, “and I feel like such a terrible person for it.” He guesses? As in, he got blackout drunk, he doesn’t even remember, they told him he did it, and he accepted their version of events? This is what Stockholm Syndrome looks like, folks. Virtually every man in the Western world has some degree of this, having been raised from infancy by abusive, domineering female captors. … In the event of actual rape, pushing the guy doesn’t make it stop. Just ask the culturally enriched denizens of Europe. Real rape is not a pretty thing. It isn’t a joke. …

When even Blockstream is saying don't use BTC, I think it's the end for BTC. Thankfully, there is a way out of this for Bitcoin. It's called Bitcoin Cash. It's not an altcoin... It's a legitimate fork of the Bitcoin ledger from August 2017, when enough people had enough sense to realize what was happening, and were able to act in time to preserve the ledger. The Blockstream gang has thrown Bitcoin off its course for several years, but you cannot stop an idea whose time has come. Peer to Peer Electronic Cash is here to stay, and no amount of deception can stop it. " https://old.reddit.com/r/btcfork/ "[We stand ready to fork cryptocurrency to protect and ensure its survival]" Whoever thought the first BTC must be the only one leading, was wrong thinking. Another five years and it might not be on the leaderboard at all. That's actually an ok thing, change happens, old legacy replaced with new more useful, efficient, resistant, decentral, secure, private, and free combinations. And the years cryptocurrency community wastes on all the bullshit (and having to verify and discern truth from it all), the retarded ICO's, and all the centralized and other pointless shitcoins... the fiats [of the crypto world]... you should have just stayed focused on the decentralized coins, the cypherpunk, the anarchism. Instead you fell into the traps of the old world People are starting to learn from this period of years. Things are again slowly picking up and moving faster now. Among the family of all coins using the Satoshi Genesis Block blockchain, and or any of its decendant UTXO sets as coinbase inputs... Bitcoin Cash BCH is likely in a better position overall among them.

Post quantum crypto should come into the space before long too.

Police told to avoid looking at iphone x
by jim bell 14 Oct '18

14 Oct '18

https://www.engadget.com/2018/10/13/police-told-to-avoid-looking-at-iphone-… "Police have yet to completely wrap their heads around modern iPhones like the X and XS, and that's clearer than ever thanks to a leak.Motherboard has obtained a presentation slide from forensics company Elcomsoft telling law enforcement to avoid looking at iPhones with Face ID. If they gaze at it too many times (five), the company said, they risk being locked out much like Apple's Craig Federighi was during the iPhone X launch event. They'd then have to enter a passcode that they likely can't obtain under the US Constitution's Fifth Amendment, which protects suspects from having to provide self-incriminating testimony." "There are ways around this system, whether or not they're ethically sound -- the FBI recently forced a suspect to unlock his iPhone X using Face ID. Some warrants can explicitly offer permission to use face unlocking. Many investigators won't know about the alternatives, though, and there won't always be an option to use the accused person's face. There's no guarantee other countries will allow forced face recognition, either." "The slide also underscores the challenge face recognition poses for investigators, especially when there's no fingerprint fallback as with newer iPhones. Where it's easy to avoid accidentally triggering a fingerprint reader, you can inadvertently set off a system like Face ID just by raising or tapping the screen. Like it or not, officers will have to be much more delicate when they want access to recent handsets -- especially when they aren't guaranteed wired access." [end of quote] Jim Bell

exposed/ Juan right again - J.Peterson utterly conflicted - was Re: JP/Kavanaugh explained - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 14 Oct '18

14 Oct '18

So Jordan Peterson is a schitzophrenic flake, sneering at free speech and spitting on the presumption of innocence. It's tough to admit ... AGAIN ... Juan is right about Peterson. Peterson called publicly for Kavanaugh to "step down" from his SCOTUS appointment literally to "resolve the Jewish conundrum", thus throwing out centuries of English common law. Thread below.

Classic Jewish "intellectualism" to fit the conversation to frame the desired "resolution of Jewish conundrum or goals" etc Innocent until proven guilty has 900 BLOODY YEARS behind it - one of those famed "pillars" of "Western society", and JP was so ready to throw it out the window. And the idea of appointing some other "equally conservative judge"? This is the WHOLE POINT of the Marxist "Left" - defame, fight dirty, impugn the character of good men etc - and if that all fails, then start physical violence - which is now happening e.g. GOP building getting vandalised and public statements of "this physical destruction is just the beginning". And JP thinks these Marxist type of people won't be even MORE vehement in THE SAME tactics against the next conservative judge? Sheer lunacy! JP has two important achievements or messages which have been worthwhile: 1) Take responsibility in the face of the fact that life is filled with suffering and malevolence (clean up your room, lift your load). 2) "Marxism" is a dirty word. Everyone now knows this - the Internet and the spread of ideas today is so rapid, it's awesome! So even the legacy media (MSM) knows that Marxism can no longer be hailed - there is no more excuse. Other than that, Peterson has: 1) slapped free speech in the face (removing Faith Goldy from his panel literally to discuss free speech) 2) slapped the presumption of innocence in the face (Kavanaugh) 3) utterly failed to address the negative sides of Jewish power and Judaism so fundamentally, he's a coward. A flake. This is not surprising since for 30 years or so he lived a cotton wool "tenured university professor" lifestyle. It's no wonder he's schitzophrenic and essentially pro-socialism (Marxism by any other name) - all tenured professors are reliant on Marxist "socialism" for their normal livelihood.

Media Write Protection / Crypto Devices / BadUSB - #OpenFabs #OpenHW

Even with Whonix, > traces likely remain in the virtual disk. There is never "no" disk, just a matter of which ones are plugged into the box, physically, or remotely. Only old SCSI, optical, some floppy / tape mediums had functional hardware write protect. Even burnables could conceivably have more bits burnt, or burnt down, later. USB and SD are software honor system write protect. Most people don't even know they can disable swap and keep system mounted read-only, that's basic. Uid 0 can write to all firmware and user areas on all media. Some flash chips and controllers can be soldered / cut per docs to enable write protect lines. No media lasts forever, is bug free, or bitrot proof. Kanguru does make a hardware write protect USB series. Transcend Jetflash, PQI, and others might. Some claim to offer additional protections such as signed firmware loads, etc. Any firmwares involved may or may not be protected against BadUSB... ask them how their write protect etc works... if you're brave / dumb enough to believe their non #OpenFabs , non #OpenHW marketing lies about it. Same goes for any claims about integrated AES encryption hardware, PKI sticks, crypto key modules, hardware enclaves, and all other backdoored junk you can't see, etc. Including from the likes of Intel, Apple, Trezor... Even from opensource OS that refuse to implement block storage opcode command filtering to help prevent at least some user level propagation common with shared / public systems. https://www.kanguru.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuruzFqMgIw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcsxeJz3blI https://adamcaudill.com/2014/10/02/making-badusb-work-for-you-derbycon/ " Blaze speculates that the USB attack may in fact already be common practice for the NSA. He points to a spying device known as Cottonmouth, revealed earlier this year in the leaks of Edward Snowden. The device, which hid in a USB peripheral plug, was advertised in a collection of NSA internal documents as surreptitiously installing malware on a target’s machine. The exact mechanism for that USB attack wasn’t described. “I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the things [Nohl and Lell] discovered are what we heard about in the NSA catalogue.” The alternative is to treat USB devices like hypodermic needles. Nohl says he and Lell reached out to a Taiwanese USB device maker, whom he declines to name, and warned the company about their BadUSB research. Over a series of emails, the company [Phison] *repeatedly denied* that the attack was possible. " Remember, BadUSB porn got Bin Laden :) ... maybe.
