NEWS from Science NewsApp https://phys.org/news/2018-10-corruption-tops-5th-annual-chapman.html "More Americans are afraid than ever, according to the 5th annual Chapman University Survey of American Fears. The 2018 survey revealed that government corruption remains Americans' primary concern, and the state of the environment, which for the first time represents fully half of Americans' top 10 fears. This year, each of the top 10 fears are held by more than half of the population; in 2017 only five of that year's top 10 fears were expressed by at least half of Americans, indicating that overall fear is on the rise and is also more focused on the environment than in previous years." "Americans' Top 10 Fears in 2018 (percentages include those who answered afraid or very afraid):" "1. Corrupt government officials (73.6 percent)2. Pollution of oceans, rivers and lakes (61.6 percent)3. Pollution of drinking water (60.7 percent)4. Not having enough money for the future (57 percent)5. People they love becoming seriously ill (56.5 percent)6. People they love dying (56.4 percent)7. Air pollution (55.1 percent)8. Extinction of plant and animal species (54.1 percent)9. Global warming and climate change (53.2 percent)10. High medical bills (52.9 percent)" "The annual Chapman University Survey of American Fears provides an in-depth examination into the concerns of average Americans, tracking changes and trends over the years. The survey asks about 94 topics ranging from government, health and environmental matters, to disaster preparedness, the paranormal and personal anxieties. " "Two striking changes have emerged since 2016. First, a 13 percent increase of Americans who fear corrupt government officials, which tops the 2018 list with nearly three-quarters (73.6 percent) of Americans reporting being either "afraid" or "very afraid" of corruption. Notably, there were no significant differences in fears by political affiliation. Second, Americans are increasingly worried about the environment. Not a single environmental concern made the top 10 list in 2016 but in 2018 five of the top 10 fears are environmental in nature." "The 2018 fear survey results illustrate a continued shift in the primary concerns of American citizens," said Christopher Bader, Ph.D., professor of sociology at Chapman University. "It is worth noting that the fears regarding corruption and the environment have increased significantly following the election of President Trump in 2016 and all top 10 fears continue to reflect topics often discussed in the media." [end of partial quote] I've got a solution to that problem I first published my AP (Assassination Politics) essay about 23.5 years ago. https://cryptome.org/ap.htm Has anyone claimed, since then, that a problem doesn't exist, with governments? I don't recall that. Has anyone (else) claimed that they have, or even there is, an alternative solution to the problem of corrupt government? I don't recall that, either. Some people have reacted negatively to AP, which I interpret as not LIKING the AP idea. But they do not explain why we should continue to tolerate government at all, or say why there is any other solution. Jim Bell

Wow! Are you ENTERTAINED?!!?? :D :D This is gettin good, folks - from unlawful "cake baking avoidance" now to "unlawful LGBTQNPC+ propaganda film creation avoidance, with literal threat of jail time". Ho! HO HO HO! Oh yeah folks, this gon be dang fine event if the autharataes follow up on this one :D Bring. It. On! State Demands Christian US Filmmakers Make Same-Sex Films or Face Jail Time https://www.westernjournal.com/state-demands-christian-us-filmmakers-make-s… https://bbs.thegoyimknow.to/t/state-demands-christian-us-filmmakers-make-sa… A Christian couple who owns a media company is suing the state of Minnesota after being threatened with fines and imprisonment if they refuse to make films involving same-sex marriage. Carl and Angel Larsen, through their company Telescope Media Group, want to enter the wedding industry, but due to their religious beliefs do not want to create films celebrating same-sex marriages. Minnesota’s Human Rights Act stipulates that if the owners produce films about traditional Christian marriages between one man and one woman, they must also produce films about unions that violate their Christian views, CBN News reported. http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2018/october/christian-filmmakers-appeal-to-… The religious liberty law firm Alliance Defending Freedom, which is representing the Larsens in the suit, said in a Tuesday news release http://www.adfmedia.org/News/PRDetail/10627 that the couple faces steep fines, including compensatory and punitive damages of up to $25,000, and up to 90 days in prison if they fail to comply with Minnesota’s public accommodation law. … ADF successfully sued the state of Colorado on behalf of Christian baker Jack Phillips, securing his right to decline to make custom wedding cakes celebrating same-sex marriages. In a 7-2 ruling, http://www.adfmedia.org/files/MasterpieceCakeshopOpinionSCOTUS.pdf the Supreme Court found Phillips had a legitimate claim “that using his artistic skills to make an expressive statement, a wedding endorsement in his own voice and of his own creation, has a significant First Amendment speech component and implicates his deep and sincere religious beliefs.” The Court went on to note, “That consideration was compromised, however, by the (Colorado Civil Rights) Commission’s treatment of Phillips’ case, which showed elements of a clear and impermissible hostility toward the sincere religious beliefs motivating his objection.” …

Virustotal - FBI Cooperation
by Ryan Carboni 21 Oct '18

21 Oct '18

I have obtained a file that I believe is government malware. It hashes to D7161581BAAA04FC2E515BF724CC2CC17C2520A3574717D53A8F9D638E3D30F, and is signed by Microsoft. This should be the appropriate link: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/ D7161581BAAA04FC2E515BF724CC2CC17C2520A3574717D53A8F9D638E3D30F However when trying to archive the link, the link comes up as 404. https://archive.fo/d0eR0 <http://archive.fo/d0eR0> I have a photograph of the virustotal scan, while I believe I am pwned, the government is well aware of the first amendment concerns of altering photographs in a person’s possession as opposed to merely suppressing scans or whatever balancing test they hide away from us. I could upload the screenshots, but I’m using a different computer right now and I’m a bit on edge from all this. It is not inconceivable that the FBI and virustotal are cooperating with known file hashes and are suppressing them from public view, especially given that virustotal gives access to uploaded files to major cyber security and antivirus firms. I would like to know the process in which these irregularities occur, and whether or not there are consequences for misuse of valid activities for corrupt ends and what checks are there on it. Maybe the relevant civil liberties concerns could investigate.

Funniest “Liberals” in the world - right in the heart of Russia
by Zenaan Harkness 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…

keen for action? literal RaHoWa practice run - South African land confiscations soon - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 20 Oct '18

20 Oct '18

Whitey got a practice run about to go down agin' 'im in SA. Weeks, possibly month or three away. As we know, there's at least one training group getting their shit together in SA, for those pining for that Novorossia action they missed out on. Who are you? What do you live for? Some live for other than the Crackatinney tribe or the Slapaho nation. Good luck fellow Souls, Just a Prank, Bruh! South African Land Confiscations Seem Like a “Social Experiment” to Me https://dailystormer.name/just-a-prank-bruh-south-african-land-confiscation… It's the minerals brah! Lots of juicy taxable mining, gotta get dat land off the owners though, or the banks can't make so much money! And given the international "federal reserve system" nexussed in the BIS, debt-enslavement of the "stupid blacks living high on the socialist hog" of South Africa, just a decade or two of spiralling downwards debt-based gibs will have the entire country in hoc to da banks brah! Then all dat minin' output be supa cheap to de oberlords outside SA, and da country internally in eternal debt spiral trap. Dis be win-lose situation me thinks, wiv de banks be da winnas and de Blacks be socialist "winners" for few decades, and de White "boors" certainly de very big losers in all dis. What be needed is united White front, both internal and external to SA, but Whitey don't seem to control 'is own money no mo. He gat pentagram hex on 'is hiney, must bow low to 2% oberlord massas runnin' de banksta situation! Gud luk, Whitey! Global mining boom is leading to landgrab, says report https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2012/mar/01/global-mining-boom-land… South Africa's suicidal quest to expropriate land without compensation https://www.caymanfinancialreview.com/2018/04/19/south-africas-suicidal-que… Nationalisation of mineral rights in South Africa http://www.dejure.up.ac.za/index.php/en/volumes/45-vol-1-2012/69-article-7.… SUMMARY Nationalisation of mineral rights in South Africa The Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of 2002 (MPRDA) deprived landowners of the ownership of unexplored mineral and petroleum products and proclaimed mineral and petroleum resources to be “the common heritage of all the people of South Africa” with the State as the custodian thereof. Prospecting and mining rights in respect of “unused old order rights” and the conversion of “old order prospecting rights“ and “old order mining rights” into “new order” prospecting and/or mining rights have been subjected to radical time constraints and strenuous substantive conditions to be approved by the Minister of Mineral and Energy Affairs. Whereas the State in the past regulated prospecting and mining activities, mainly to secure safety measures and protection of the environment, the legislature has now imposed stringent requirements for the granting of prospecting and/or mining rights because it has become the owner of mineral and petroleum resources—either as personification of “the people of South Africa” or as a public trustee of “the heritage of all the people of South Africa.” Section 25 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa distinguishes between deprivation of property, which is not subject to the payment of compensation by the State, and expropriation for which compensation must be paid. It is commonly accepted that expropriation is constituted by deprivation plus an additional element or elements. There are two possible factors that will convert a deprivation into expropriation: either the vesting of ownership of the rights of which the owner has been deprived in another entity, for example the State; or, as stipulated in Article 25, by depriving the owner of his or her rights in the public interest or for a public purpose. It is argued in this essay that the deprivation of mineral and petroleum resources amounted to expropriation under either of these two perceptions of expropriation.
