Don't be that retard coding / proselytizing / demanding / mandating broken crypto for use by others anywhere else, not least of why because that hole will eventually be twisted asymmetrically upon you and yours by the former later.

My dear garbage fire brother, Please, do *not* take my words of its context and stop telling daily lies. Jeez, is it not a sin in your religion? It's really disgusting! :((( I would *never* ask for any murder. Why the heck do you think I am a veggie since my earlier years? Because I was a hipster, being veggie before it becomes hype, very cool? Hahahaha!!! ;D I do *not* support any death. And, sorry, if you were not informed about it, the life of cows, pigs, chickens, cats, dogs, koalas, and several other animals, is *not* more important than *any human life*, including yours. But I confess that, technically, I don't include you among the rational beings. Already met doggies much smarter than you. And they were cuter and less boring too! :D I do not know if there is a Hell or not, my detestable garbage fire brother, but in positive case, we will meet there someday and, remember, you will arrive first. You are much older and hated than me, so the probabilities are better on my side, hahaha!! <charming wink> ;) I hope your atoms can be used in a better way, like beautiful flowers and trees. James, you are a bad seed, a rotten apple in the society, spreading hate and intolerance. You are the broken potato chip in the package, the one that always makes a mess and is wasted, aff... :((( Ah, my dear, remember that I am being banned and excluded in some feminist radical groups for defending equality of treatment of women and men, for really believing that intelligence and character are much more important than genders, races, religions, sexual options, whatever... I will always try to respect all the people, but illogical, heartless racist, sexist, and homophobic garbage fire people like you do *not* deserve my respect and my time. I am deeply sorry for disappointing you, but instead of "enthusiastically calling for the murder of Christians, whites, and males", I do prefer to mourn the recent deaths of my friends and think about the future, about our lost plans and dreams. All the three were "Christian white males", but it doesn't matter. What is really important, what is making me cry for their deaths, is the fact that all the three were lovely, very kind, amazing human beings, always trying to share their knowledge and helping other people. I will miss them until the last of my days. Who will cry for your death, James? Who will miss you? Nobody. Bye bye, baby! See you in Hell or maybe in another reincarnation. It's also a possibility to be strongly considered, because Zenaan and you are the living proofs of the existence of other lives. Nobody can become so odious, hateful, and stupid in one single human life. It takes muuuch time... :P Ceci <3

[MONEY] former Soviet countries central banks - their constitutional foundation
by Zenaan Harkness 10 May '18

10 May '18

Read it and weep - for this is not unique to Russia and the ex-Soviet block, this is true for America since 1913 (for at least the second time in the USA's history), and all of the "Western world" since at least Bretton Woods (just post-WWII) or earlier: The most stunning feature of our constitutions – and this is true for at least Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova and the Baltic States – is the fact that their respective central banks are not accountable to their governments or any other state structures of these countries. In Australia for example, we, and our federal constitution were, with respect to "the money power" usurped at Bretton Woods ("The Creature >From Jekel Island"). This be the true reason Putin is so maligned - he is continuing to put all the pieces in place for an international coalition of the willing - that is, those countries willing to say "no thank you" to the Jewish/ Zionist/ Cabalist central banker "elites" - aka Nationalism for the win. Has been said so many times - the debt-based fiat money ("Jewish" or Torah based banking system), is relatively simple mathematically, and in no way necessary (except of course for debt enslavement of those this mathematical system enslaves), and is certainly not the only such "system" of money historically! Another book: "I Want The World Plus Five Percent" So in summary, the following article should be retitled: Russia and other ex-Soviet countries, oh and by the way ALL countries in the world except those chosen for destruction since the 9/11 false flag (Libya, Iraq, Iran, Syra and a few others), Do not control their central banks. Create your world, ** Russia and Other ex-Soviet Countries Do Not Control Their Central Banks - This Must End! https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413… ------------------------------------------------------------ by Levan Vasadze (1,204 views) on Tue, May 8, 2018 The author is a prominent Georgian businessman (Bloomberg) a traditionalist conservative philanthropist, and an activist for traditional family values. Though from the country of Georgia, he made his fortune in Russia, building one of Russia's largest insurance companies (ROSNO). This is an excerpt of a speech delivered by him at an anti-globalist conference in Moldova in May of 2017. He is a fierce critic of globalism. We gather here today, to talk about one of the most boring subjects in the world, which are economics and finance. ** Putin Prepares to Leave His Final Imprint on Russia but What Will That Be? https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413… ------------------------------------------------------------ by Anatoly Karlin (949 views) on Tue, May 8, 2018 So Putin has just entered his fourth and almost certainly last term. Where to now? Putin has a vast, legitimate mandate to leave his final imprint on Russia, but what precisely that involves is still just a black box – as I repeatedly noted during my Russia elections coverage, Putin did not even bother with a campaign as such, (correctly) betting that riding on the Crimean tailwinds would be more than sufficient to ensure him a dominating victory.

Philosophical Impacts of Dying Privacy
by grarpamp 09 May '18

09 May '18

https://medium.com/s/story/your-privacy-is-over-ed72d06418f1 Three Things Should Frighten You government is using data to control the country’s population able to create a digital profile of each person’s actions, affiliations, statements, acts, and misdemeanors. On this, people are “scored” within a “social credit” system and rewarded or penalized accordingly. how much corporations know about us without us knowing. how companies that manipulate public opinion are operating in a way that very few people, and clearly not our lawmakers, can really understand. quantum computing will soon be able to break modern encryption, laying open everything we so far thought was private and safe, and more powerful computers will be able to search and map this data going back through digital time. Most of all, I feel for our children... [...] Ultimately, everything will be tracked by the state, connected by ever more sophisticated algorithms, run on ever more powerful computers, until dissent becomes impossible and there is no escape. How do you oppose a system like that? [...] Otherwise we are moving into a world where the people creating the future technologies in artificial intelligence, genetics, quantum computing, search capabilities, and surveillance, to name but a handful of areas, will be doing so unencumbered by ethical and democratic controls. [...] I’m worried.

US GA 2018 SB 315 Veto: Cheers of Victory Should Not Blind to Exploits Underneath

Georgia’s ... technology, particularly the presence of U.S. Army Cyber Command, the state’s Cyber Range ... further ... need for ... debate ... it would be a crime ... the legislation ... led to concerns regarding national security implications ... while intending to protect against online breaches and hacks, SB 315 may ... hinder the ability of government ... to do so ... For the foregoing reasons, I VETO SB 315. -- Gov. N. Deal " The EFF's and Gang of 55's two objection reasons were not explicitly noted in identifiable detail. Yet were two other fishy "national security" reasons injected and "particularly" underlying the veto? Consider the one definition of overloaded term "protect" that makes sense in context is govt's surely claimed power to "defensively" [1], spy, breach and hack you and everyone else on the planet (decency "knows" no authority is granted by either of those). Such actions of course can never be allowed to be a crime, lol. So who really won? The objectors? The particulars, against a future principled prosecutor? [1] Which some might call top secret offense from such SCI facilities, at least until caught, then being oops, not defense. "The work done this session ... provides ... for continued collaboration on this issue." Expect to see bill again, with all sorts of "Deals" carved out for state. "Shall be punished" So they can never find work making cyber actually secure... what a brilliant startup plan for cybersecurity. "sensitive or private information of government" That pesky sunlight...
