New article by me: Oxford Union censorship
by Douglas Lucas 04 Jun '18

04 Jun '18

New article by me published today (well, yesterday) in Buffalo NY's altweekly The Public, titled Irony: Oxford Union won't release video of whistleblowing panel. Basically the Oxford Union censored the footage of the panel, which featured among others GetGee programmer Heather Marsh, at the demand of "former" CIA operative David Shedd. My article embeds and links to the audio/transcript of the censored content. http://www.dailypublic.com/articles/05312018/irony-oxford-union-wont-releas… https://twitter.com/DouglasLucas/status/1002466359710711808 Many of y'all probably way too cool for Twitter but if anyone wants to help make #OxfordUnion and #DavidShedd a thing, it would nifty.

[MINISTRY] [RaHoWa] [EPIC DOXXING BATTLES] HuffPo blogger Luke O’Brien, steps up from stalking Anglin, to Jew “MAGA” Infiltrator
by Zenaan Harkness 03 Jun '18

03 Jun '18

So after this last week and the ongoing absolutely epic Jewish counter attack against HuffPo blogger Luke O’Brien, in the face of his previous stalking of TDS' Andrew Anglin, one can hardly call the guy one-sided. O'Brien doxed one of the many MAGA infiltrators who are desperately trying to maintain their tail-grip on the USA-MIC-dog in the Middle East, using all tactics to convince American millenials that "the ME's only democracy" (Israel) must be allowed to lead the American military at all times in all ways, and just you bloody well ignore the Palestinian situation bucko, since dem Zio's are God’s own chosen bastards ya hear me boy?‼ Perhaps as O'Brien deep-dived on the "alt-right" he came up against inescapably compelling facts, like the "racial" homogeneity of the ownership of the "Western" main stream media behemoths for starters. The most interesting thing could be the counter-doxing of Luke O'Brien, his family, and everyone tangentially associated with him, along with endearing ( ~ ! <> ) life-threats and intimidation, surprisingly similar to CNN's approach to basement dwelling deplorable meme-creators who exposed CNN's ownership structure. Well, well, well, who'da thunked it! And this aggressive bullying approach is similarly suprisingly similar to the "God's chosen bastards" Israeli "approach" to rock-throwing Palestinians near the "Israel" border. Surprisingly aggressive, to use a subtly understated adjectonym. Pattern, pattern on the wall, who's the most aggressive democratic bastards of them all? Well alright, it's probably the Americans, but they're a dog being wagged by the Israeli tail after all ... but top marks anyway. And the dox keep flyin' :) https://dailystormer.name/heroic-huffpo-blogger-luke-obrien-doxes-jew-maga-… Heroic HuffPo Blogger Luke O’Brien Doxes Jew “MAGA” Infiltrator – Destroys Her Life!

Bitcoin Core BTC... and most all other cryptocurrencies... head in sand. If you're not encrypting end to end over the wire you're just opening yourself up to so many bad things. Only a few out of 1000+ among them had a clue to implement mandatory TLS with operational mode options including Accept All for the Stupid, fingerprint pinning, TOFU, etc, all with cert logging capabilities for change debugging, and handy management tools as needed. There's maybe five decent privacy coins that are using fully encrypted end to end transports natively, even if not yet offering a full matrix of possible usage modes therein. And a similar number known to be additionally supporting interop with anonymous overlay networks. And a growing number actually taking privacy tech inside the coin itself as a necessary fundamental property of the promise of cryptocurrency. Kudos to them. The first part of cryptocurrency... is "crypto". Don't launch without it. [bcc cpunks because cryptocurrency is banned at metz, lol]

Google Project MAVEN: We're Evil and Support Murder with AI

Google has since tried to quash the dissent, claiming that the contract was "only" for $9 million, according to the New York Times. Internal company emails obtained by The Intercept tell a different story: The September emails show that Google's business development arm expected the military drone artificial intelligence revenue to ramp up from an initial $15 million to an eventual $250 million per year. In fact, one month after news of the contract broke, the Pentagon allocated an additional $100 million to Project Maven [the endeavor designed to help drone operators recognize images captured on the battlefield]. The internal Google email chain also notes that several big tech players competed to win the Project Maven contract. Other tech firms such as Amazon were in the running, one Google executive involved in negotiations wrote. (Amazon did not respond to a request for comment.) Rather than serving solely as a minor experiment for the military, Google executives on the thread stated that Project Maven was "directly related" to a major cloud computing contract worth billions of dollars that other Silicon Valley firms are competing to win. The emails further note that Amazon Web Services, the cloud computing arm of Amazon, "has some work loads" related to Project Maven.

Razer gets a call from the fedz about a ZuckerBook 'post you made in April'
by Razer 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

I just got a voicemail from one special agent Delligan (sp? And why are they almost always Irish?) in DC about a 'post you made in April', and he wanted a callback. On calling I got a voicemail box that sounded legit but I still suspected a FB phishing expedition. So I dialed the same number but instead of the last 2 digits I dialed 00... Fast busy. So I dial 01, and get a senator's office. Not a Phishing trip... I left a rather rude voicemail at the phone number and got a callback about 10 minutes later. The post in question, from April was in regard to the Congressional Baseball game, which had a shooter drop in if you'll recall. My post was just before they tried have their ballgame again and RollCall was commenting on the security. In the post I basically suggested that there's no foolproof way to protect a congressman on an open air ballfield from a sniper at 300 yard with a bolt action rifle. Apparently the Capitol Police ARE worried about such a possibility and were 'assessing' all possible threat scenarios made on social media. After a five minute chat he assumed I wasn't intending to be a 'shooter' nor instructing anyone how to be one, or even suggesting anyone should be one, and here is the post: > "Tight security. Use a good high power Bolt Action > legal-in-all-50-states hunting rifle... Bedded in and checked at the > range any ol' bolt action ought to be good for 300 yards anyway. > > "Republicans’ First Congressional Baseball Practice After Shooting Set > for April 25" > > https://www.rollcall.com/news/hoh/republicans-congressional-baseball/ " Rr. Ps. "I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad!"
