No wonder China wants > to design & build their own chips! Anyone who thinks Intel CPU's don't have backdoors... is fucking stupid. AMD... same, yet perhaps a slightly lesser form of corporate insidiousness. Same for all cell phone CPUs and baseband processors. Even "open" ARM and "closed" Apple cores are fully questionable. Cisco products... fuck all backdoored. Same for every Cable / DSL / Fiber / WiFi Modem / Router / Point. IBM Power9... yep, gonna be some secrets in there too. Anything with any sort of CPU running any sort of OS... backdoored. Doesn't matter where or who it comes from or who it's made for... China... backdoored. Boeing... backdoored. Only interesting thing is who has the keys. As said before, you must demand and create... #OpenFabs , #OpenHW , #OpenSW , #OpenDev , #OpenBiz You have zero trust until those happen. ZERO. That 20 key dimestore calculator on your desk isn't backdoored. If you're lucky. Publishing the backdoors in Intel's products, and all the others... makes a fine AP crowdfund target. Because the Wikileaks model so far either didn't get or hasn't published the scoop.

Ps. You can buy a 12ga flare gun(coastal use rated) for $69.95 at any marine supply store in the US, no questions asked. It will take out anything living, or in any way flammable, so why bother printing a gun?

Isn't it you who seems to believe that 3D printers can make guided missiles? From there to "ragtag rebel hipsters" making biological weapons to wipe out scapegoat families ain't a long stretch, as both both reflect an infantile fantasy life with no significant grounding in material reality. Why not 3D print a few kilos of heroin to fund your rebellion? Or if that's not your bag, why not 3D print diamonds? Or gold? :o) The end result of indoctrinated technocratic thinking, or a clueless technocrat. His suggestion about using smartphones! ROTF ROTF! The FIRST THING they'd do is kill the power to the insurrectionary area. So... bring on the solar panels... they're GREAT, actually PERFECT, target markers. Run cars to supply power? One strafing run by an F-16 and there is no car no mo. I COULD go on about his fantasy life as a techno-rebel, but Bwahahaha! Rr null

[PEACE] Trump gets free speech - calls for all voices "good" and "bad" to be heard

Well, this is a surprising turn - plenty of folks assumed "regulated" censorship regimes were coming down the pipeline, but Trump seems to get it that both Antifa -AND- Daily Stormer must be allowed to speak. “Let everybody participate, good & bad, and we will all just have to figure it out!” A healthy dose of a sane position on freeze peach! Read it and hope this prevails, Trump Issues Holy Fatwah Against Shitlib Censorship of Conservatives https://dailystormer.name/finally-god-emperor-trump-issues-holy-fatwah-agai…

For spreading illegal information. https://defcad.com/bluewall/ https://web.archive.org/web/20180829021147/https://defcad.com/bluewall/ transcript: "451 Oops. You're behind the Blue Wall Your masters say you can’t be trusted with this information. Sorry, little lamb." Is a funny page of what users in 20 states and the majority of the world are presented with when trying to get the DEFCAD files. What is funny though, is that I will openly distribute all of the defcad files to everyone regardless of law. I am not afraid of any court order or any enforcement attempt. And to any prosecutors or judges, your efforts are a waste. I am a criminal. My crime, exercising my freedom of speech and taking a stand against censorship. Thousands of people will upload these files into the public domain. Information cannot be stopped. I am calling on everyone whom ordered these files to upload them into the public domain and compare the hashes with each other for decentralized distributed integrity verification.
