The federal lawsuit says the measure violates the Second and 14th amendments of the Constitution as well as gun sellers’ rights under the Commerce Clause. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit are firearms dealers in Spokane and Vancouver, a 19-year-old competitive shooter, a 19-year-old in the Army Reserves, a 20-year-old recreational shooter, the Second Amendment Foundation and the National Rifle Association. Washington on Tuesday joined a handful of other states that ban anyone under 21 from buying a semi-automatic rifle after voters passed a sweeping firearms measure in November that has drawn a court challenge from gun-rights advocates. Workman of Second Amendment Foundation says Washington’s measure will take away firearms from law-abiding residents who can easily pass multiple background checks. It will impair public safety and embolden criminals while placing restrictions on people who already legally own semi-automatic rifles, Workman said. Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson said he “looks forward to representing the 59% of people in the state of Washington who wish to forcefully violate others against the NAP, in court against the NRA.” http://www.ammo-one.com/Wildcat50to17.html

NSA GHIDRA Disassembler Vault7
by grarpamp 06 Jan '19

06 Jan '19

The US National Security Agency will release a free reverse engineering tool at the upcoming RSA security conference that will be held at the start of March, in San Francisco. The software's name is GHIDRA and in technical terms, is a disassembler, a piece of software that breaks down executable files into assembly code that can then be analyzed by humans. The NSA developed GHIDRA at the start of the 2000s, and for the past few years, it's been sharing it with other US government agencies that have cyber teams who need to look at the inner workings of malware strains or suspicious software. GHIDRA's existence was never a state secret, but the rest of the world learned about it in March 2017 when WikiLeaks published Vault7, a collection of internal documentation files that were allegedly stolen from the CIA's internal network. Those documents showed that the CIA was one of the agencies that had access to the tool.

So they need a new topic to legitimize their absolute power. And that is, you guessed it: a "conflict with a foreign enemy". The conflict just needs to be emotional. And the CCP is very capable of creating those kind of conflicts within days."

Legacy financial system 'controlled demolition' - "elites" desperate to avoid blame for coming USD collapse
by Zenaan Harkness 05 Jan '19

05 Jan '19

Apropos insight, since China failed to take the debt + trade-war bate and spit an emotional dummy by selling their treasury 'debt instruments' (thereby avoiding making themselves the ready blame target for USD collapse and reset): Brandon Smith: Trump Is A Pied Piper For The New World Order Agenda https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-01-04/brandon-smith-trump-pied-piper-ne… … The Fed deliberately created the "Everything Bubble" so that it could be deliberately imploded at the proper time… This is a tactic used by the Fed and the globalists that run it for over 100 years… This process of controlled demolition needs a considerable distraction so that the central banks and the globalists ultimately avoid blame for the painful consequences of the event. * Enter Donald Trump and the false Trump vs. Globalist paradigm. As I mentioned last week, the Fed is only one side of the equation for the crash; Trump is the other side. … To summarize, the "elites" need a patsy for the breakdown of the financial system they have engineered. That patsy will not be Trump per se, but conservatives in general. … What I do know is that triggering a fiscal crisis under the watch of Trump and blaming conservatives is far more useful to the elites than triggering a crisis under Clinton and risk blame falling on international banking syndicates.” … Trump is also currently “advised” by the likes of Steven Mnuchin formerly of Goldman Sachs, Larry Kudlow formerly of the New York Fed, and John Bolton of the CFR, among others.

Fwd: [Cryptography] Blockchain without proof of work
by grarpamp 05 Jan '19

05 Jan '19

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Phillip Hallam-Baker <phill(a)hallambaker.com> Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2019 13:29:47 -0500 As of 1st Jan, I am no longer employed by Comodo Group or any other CA or browser provider. So I am looking at new directions. One of these is a video blog: PHB's CryptoWar which will follow my various interests from politics, to cryptography to prop making. To start it off: here are three commitments which are the names of three individuals who I expect to see indicted/charged with serious crimes in the near future: UDF=KD25H-GSNE2-JVVJE-RXTMA-7VAWT UDF=KCOO3-EKPAG-FKYFC-O2B2N-O3UUA UDF=KBR3A-RQLV7-SMB6X-6OB7X-JMBNT [These names are also known to at least two international news organizations who like myself are allowing the authorities to complete their work.] The kommitments provide a cryptographic means of proving that I knew something at a particular time without revealing it (yet). They demonstrate both the use of a digest function and the advantage of using a key. The next obvious technical topic to tackle is blockchain. Right now, blockchain is using more electricity than Ireland and minting several billion worth of new currency to process fewer transactions than a moderately busy CostCo. So what is the current state of the art on blockchain without proof of work? Harber and Stornetta suggested publication in the Times. Which is of course recourse to a higher level notary. The next obvious approach is a circular firing squad of notaries that cross notify. Has anyone published anything further I should present? Of couse, I could do what I usually do and re-invent stuff because I am too lazy to read the literature. But I rather doubt there is a literature in this case... ----------
