Based AF traction - politicians "being good people, instead of liars and snakes and criminals" - Groypers Rising - [PEACE]

Based AF traction - oh yeah, you know you love it :) Six for six knockouts, muh gritty Grits - in barely a coupla weeks. Crack in the dam wall, 'tis ... simple Q's are knockout questions. Groypers are rising - Charlie Kirk just sank the TP-USA ship and quite possibly took Donald Trump Jr with him. And from Zero Coverage by the MSM (just word of mouth and pod casts for the Groyper army), not only are a few politicians starting to notice, this is the single biggest thing happening in North American politics today. Grass roots. Insanely good. The Guardian even did a reasonably fair write up - MSM noticing: Groyper War: Media Finally Reports on Our Groyper War After Don Jr. Evac! http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/groyper-war-media-finally-reporters-on-our-gr… ... https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/nov/11/donald-trump-jr-walks-out-o… Some politicians are now noticing they might get real, actual traction simply by "being good people, instead of liars and snakes and criminals" - a bit of a shift.

But we can sort of imagine how they’re going to handle it. It’s very predictable. The rightist media is going to run with using the left’s memes about “racist neo-Nazi anti-Semites.” There is no question about that. And there is no question that they will condemn their own selves by doing so. The leftist media is going to try to divide the MAGA movement, try to get people to not vote for Trump in whichever way they can. One thing is very certain: Soon, every traitor – left or right – will know the name “Nicholas J. Fuentes.” And every one of them will live long enough to wish they’d never heard it. Nick Fuentes is the Leader of the Groyper Uprising and Commander of the Groyper Army http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/nick-fuentes-is-the-leader-of-the-groyper-upr… As we are coming off of an ultimate victory in Los Angeles and preparing for yet more victories, I want to make sure that everyone in this Groyper War is clear on something: The Groyper Uprising has a leader, and that leader is Nick Fuentes. He is the commander of the Groypers and he has led us to victory after victory, from OSU all the way to UCLA. Understand: this is not about getting credit or feeding an ego or anything of that sort. Obviously it isn’t about that for me, as I am not Nick Fuentes. The fact is that having a leader of a political movement is simply a practical matter. ...

Cryptocurrency: Anonymous to Invest $75M of Crypto to Develop Privacy Coins and Anon Tech

https://www.unknown.fund/ " Unknown Fund - Press Release 11/13/2019 We are going to invest and donate $75 million of bitcoin in startups that help anonymity ideas. Preferred niches are personal data protection, tools for online anonymity, cryptocurrencies, blockchain. Unknown Fund is Going to Invest and Donate $75 Million for the Development of Ideas of Anonymity The anonymous organisation Unknown Fund has announced that it intends to invest and donate $75 million in bitcoin to startups which directly or indirectly support the idea of anonymity. Preference will be given to the following niches: protection of personal data, tools for anonymity, cryptocurrency and blockchain. The organizers of the fund are ordinary, anonymous people from different countries who met on the 4chan English-language imageboard. In a brief to our news agency Anonymous said: “We are you, we are your sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, friends and colleagues. Our ranks consist of representatives of many countries and nationalities, united by a virtual comradely spirit and the belief that we are fighting for the good of many, and not for the benefit of some. Anonymous is the voice of those who believe in truth, freedom and the right to self-expression.” The Unknown Fund sees the protection of personal data as one of the main challenges for modern man. The use of data has already become a powerful tool for manipulating people. The effectiveness of this tool is both amazing and frightening. Using as examples the ultra-targeted advertising used in Brexit campaigns and in the last presidential elections in the United States, one can see how easy it is to manipulate public opinion with enough personal data. However, the manipulation of people occurs not only in big politics, but also in our daily lives. A perfect example is the level of addiction that the general population has to social networks - addiction orchestrated and achieved by corporations. Anonymous added: “Now the main goal of large corporations is to collect as much information as possible about the personal lives of people, and then use it for their enrichment. And they do a great job of it by making ordinary people get poorer. We are ready to fight for change and protect people." The Unknown Fund also sees incredible opportunities to protect the rights and freedoms of people that technology such as blockchain and cryptocurrencies give us. This is a chance for humanity to create a new environment, a new and honest monetary system, and to make the world a better place. Unknown Fund suggests investment in commercial startups and donations to nonprofit organizations. Investing is just the beginning. Anonymous have developed a number of strategies and methods that will be announced later. Anonymous ended the brief with the words: “If you believe in freedom of speech and the media, and most importantly, in a free and accessible Internet, then you are also Anonymous. Our opponents should not doubt our determination or conviction. We will continue to fight as much as necessary to achieve our goal.” "

...2011 documentary by adam curtis. Turns out that levine's 'surveillance valley" has been 'inspired' by it to the point that parts of the book are pretty much identical to parts of the vidoes...aka plagiarism. anyway, curti's film has a few glitches but it's worth watching

Cryptocurrency is game changing virus, Virgil brought a Trojan Horse full of it straight into one of the many halls of power. So did Meltem, Andreas, and many more... No one in those halls will ban distributed privacy cryptocurrencies, because they want in the game, gold rush, and personal freedom that comes with adoption, at which point cryptocurrency wins.

Privacy: US Vehicle and License Agencies Pimp You Out for $Millions

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/evjekz/the-california-dmv-is-making-doll… Not to mention simply giving you away to all other agencies. And just where is your cut and brokering root of authority in this? Nope, it's ass up for you, and been going on for decades, you must enjoy it, you even told them where to come get more anytime they want. The California DMV Is Making $50M a Year Selling Drivers’ Personal Information A document obtained by Motherboard shows how DMVs sell people’s names, addresses, and other personal information to generate revenue. by Joseph Cox Nov 25 2019, 4:05pm The California Department of Motor Vehicles is generating revenue of $50,000,000 a year through selling drivers’ personal information, according to a DMV document obtained by Motherboard. DMVs across the country are selling data that drivers are required to provide to the organization in order to obtain a license. This information includes names, physical addresses, and car registration information. California’s sales come from a state which generally scrutinizes privacy to a higher degree than the rest of the country. In a public record acts request, Motherboard asked the California DMV for the total dollar amounts paid by commercial requesters of data for the past six years. The responsive document shows the total revenue in financial year 2013/14 as $41,562,735, before steadily climbing to $52,048,236 in the financial year 2017/18. The document doesn't name the commercial requesters, but some specific companies appeared frequently in Motherboard's earlier investigation that looked at DMVs across the country. They included data broker LexisNexis and consumer credit reporting agency Experian. Motherboard also found DMVs sold information to private investigators, including those who are hired to find out if a spouse is cheating. It is unclear if the California DMV has recently sold data to these sorts of entities. california-dmv-document A screenshot of the DMV document obtained by Motherboard. Image: Motherboard. In an email to Motherboard, the California DMV said that requesters may also include insurance companies, vehicle manufacturers, and prospective employers. Asked if the sale of this data was essential to the DMV, Marty Greenstein, public information officer at the California DMV, wrote that its sale furthers objectives related to highway and public safety, "including availability of insurance, risk assessment, vehicle safety recalls, traffic studies, emissions research, background checks, and for pre- and existing employment purposes." "The DMV takes its obligation to protect personal information very seriously. Information is only released pursuant to legislative direction, and the DMV continues to review its release practices to ensure information is only released to authorized persons/entities and only for authorized purposes. The DMV also audits requesters to ensure proper audit logs are maintained and that employees are trained in the protection of DMV information and anyone having access to this information sign a security document," Greenstein wrote. Do you know anything else about data selling? We'd love to hear from you. Using a non-work phone or computer, you can contact Joseph Cox securely on Signal on +44 20 8133 5190, Wickr on josephcox, OTR chat on jfcox(a)jabber.ccc.de, or email joseph.cox(a)vice.com. Multiple other DMVs around the U.S. previously confirmed to Motherboard that they have cut-off data access for some commercial requesters after they abused the data. One of the main pieces of legislation that governs the sale of DMV data stemmed from a case in California. Lawmakers introduced the Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) in 1994 after a private investigator hired by a stalker obtained the address of actress Rebecca Schaeffer from the DMV. The stalker went on to kill Schaeffer. The DPPA was designed to restrict access to DMV data, but included a wide array of exemptions, including for private investigators. After Motherboard's earlier investigation, senators and digital privacy experts criticized the sale of DMV data, and some said the law should be changed. Senator and Democratic Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said DMVs should not profit from such information.
