"A Public Service" - Tim Schwartz - Book on Disclosure and Anonymity
by grarpamp 11 Nov '19

https://publicservice.guide/ https://twitter.com/timatron " Tim Schwartz here. I’m a digital security educator, co-organizer @ LA Cryptoparty https://crypto.la/ . Over the last three years, I have been researching and writing a book on how people can safely disclose information to the press, lawyers, and the public – all while maintaining their anonymity. I interviewed many individuals for this book including folks from the Freedom of the Press Foundation, NSA whistleblowers, security experts, and whistleblower lawyers. I wrote A Public Service to give folks a better chance at disclosing information without being retaliated against or having their lives ruined. "

Infinite self parody - 'Techno-Thwarting The State'

"Within a few years, it should be economically feasible to similarly encrypt voice communications; soon after that, full-color digitized video images. Technology will not only have made wiretapping obsolete, it will have totally demolished government’s control over information transfer" "The LiberTech Project does not advocate, participate in, or conspire in the violation of any law—no matter how oppressive, unconstitutional or simply stupid such law may be."

phys gold for Russian oligarch anonymity - [MONEY] [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 11 Nov '19

11 Nov '19

Besides the "scandalous" banks bypassing the "official" USA sanctions (and associated "unexplained" bank CEO "suicides"), and "OMG, how dare people even consider anonymous transactions", the truth is that suppressing gold and silver coin is the Fed's arbitrary and capricious statute "law" hand at play, and nothing but... [links in original] Bank Behind World's Largest Money Laundering Scandal Offered Russians Gold Bars To Hide Their Fortune https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/bank-responsible-worlds-largest-money-lau… When we last looked at Danske Bank, the Danish lender was at the center of what has been dubbed the world's largest, $220 billion money-laundering scandal that allegedly involved Russians transferring funds offshore in violation of European regulations (it also involved the chronically criminal Deutsche Bank). Then, two months ago, the scandal took a lethal turn when the CEO of the bank's Estonia branch was found dead in a still-unexplained suicide. Now, we learn of yet another bizarre twist in what some have dubbed the biggest dirty money scandal of all time: the Danish lender was offering gold bars to wealthy clients to help them keep their fortunes hidden. According to Bloomberg, the bank’s Estonian branch - whose CEO committed suicide - which was already wiring billions of client dollars to offshore accounts, told a select group of mostly Russian customers some time around 2012, that they could now also convert their money into gold bars and coins. So for those asking the benefits of holding money in physical gold instead of fiat (or crypto), here is the answer: aside from offering a hedge against risk, Danske presented gold as a way for clients to achieve “anonymity,” according to the documents. More importantly, the bank said that using gold ensured "portability" of assets, according to an internal presentation dated June 2012. As one would expect, the gold/money-laundering service did not come cheap: Danske charged a fee of 0.5% on larger orders, while smaller orders had a commission of as much as 4%. ...

Black Revival - Jesse Lee Peterson, interviewed by Jimmy Chang and overlord Azzmador - [PEACE]

News. Firstly to warm the cockles and trigger the fuzzies, a Jesse Lee Peterson interview at everybody's favourite chan :) Funny tho, whilst the Groyper crowd are opening the floor, passing the mic, and generally having a lot of discussions and questions, the so-called "con"servatives are Shutting It Down! The Krypto Report Live: Azzmador and Jimmy Chang Interview Jesse Lee Peterson! http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/the-krypto-report-live-azzmador-and-jimmy-cha… Not so fluffy: ISIS Bride Who Called for Drive-By Shootings Wants to Return to the US Because Life is Hard in Refugee Camp http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/isis-bride-who-called-for-drive-by-shootings-… A little more fluffy: Angry Twitter Mob Complains About Target Only Putting Anti-Theft Stickers on Darker Shades of Makeup http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/angry-twitter-mob-complains-about-target-only… Ilhan Omar accused of "Anti-Semitism" for daring to declare that some US politicians receive cash donations from the Israel lobby.

By confronting her accusers directly Gabbard showed everyone watching the difference between the caricature created by Clinton and her cronies on The View and the reality of her character. And that is the kind of narrative-breaking moment that sinks careers for some and defines them for others. Speaking of careers, like it or not, Donald Trump Jr. has a future in politics. He came onto The View, like Gabbard the day before, armed to the teeth and ready use everything at his disposal. He knows walking into that arena they aren’t going to fight fair, that they’ll fall back on the laziest of arguments, like Meghan McCain virtue signaling her false eyelashes off over “Gold Star Families” who are disrespected by President Trump’s private locker room conversation, while disgustingly wrapping herself in her dead father’s flag. And his comebacks and arguments were so strong that he had The View’s audience cheering for him. It forced Joy Behar to publicly scold her audience that her show wasn’t a MAGA rally. ... Trump Jr. in less than one seven-minute television segment ripped off their masks revealing the true depth of The View’s ugliness.
