Britain force depop Diego Garcia archipelago for US Secret Torture Murder
by grarpamp 08 Mar '19

https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/britain-forcefully-depopulated-ar… John Pilger 25 Feb 2019 There are times when one tragedy tells us how a whole system works behind its democratic facade and helps us understand how much of the world is run for the benefit of the powerful and how governments often justify their actions with lies. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the British government of Harold Wilson expelled the population of the Chagos Islands, a British colony in the Indian Ocean, to make way for an American military base on Diego Garcia, the largest island. In high secrecy, the Americans offered the British payment for the islands in the form of a discount on the Polaris nuclear submarine system. The truth of this conspiracy did not emerge for another 20 years when secret official files were unearthed at the Public Record Office in London by lawyers acting for the former inhabitants of the coral archipelago. Historian Mark Curtis described the enforced depopulation in Web of Deceit, his 2003 book about Britain's post-war foreign policy. The British media all but ignored it; the Washington Post called it a "mass kidnapping". I first heard of the plight of the Chagossians in 1982, during the Falklands War. Britain had sent a fleet to the aid of 2,000 Falkland Islanders at the other end of the world while another 2,000 British citizens from islands in the Indian Ocean had been expelled by British governments and hardly anyone knew. The difference was that the Falkland Islanders were white and the Chagossians were black and, crucially, the United States wanted the Chagos Islands - especially Diego Garcia - as a major military base from which to command the Indian Ocean. The Chagos was a natural paradise. The 1,500 islanders were self-sufficient with an abundance of natural produce, and there was no extreme weather. There were thriving villages, a school, a hospital, a church, a railway and an undisturbed way of life - until the secret 1961 Anglo-American survey of Diego Garcia led to the expulsion of the entire population. OPINION The Chagos Islands: Colonialism on trial at the ICJ Oumar Ba,Kelly-Jo Bluen by Oumar Ba,Kelly-Jo Bluen The expulsions began in 1965. People were herded into the hold of a rusting ship, the women and children forced to sleep on a cargo of bird fertiliser. They were dumped in the Seychelles, where they were held in prison cells, and then shipped onto Mauritius, where they were taken to a derelict housing estate with no water or electricity. Twenty-six families died there in brutal poverty, nine individuals committed suicide, and girls were forced into prostitution to survive. I interviewed many of them. One woman recalled how she and her husband took their baby to Mauritius for medical treatment and were told they could not return to their island. The shock was so great that her husband suffered a stroke and died. Others described how the British and Americans gassed their dogs - beloved pets to the islanders - as an inducement to pack up and leave. Lizette Talate told me how her children had "died of sadness". She herself has since died. The depopulation of the archipelago was completed within 10 years and Diego Garcia became home to one of the biggest US bases, with more than 2,000 troops, two bomber runways, 30 warships, facilities for nuclear-armed submarines and a satellite spy station. Iraq and Afghanistan were bombed from the former paradise. Following 9/11, people were "rendered" there and tortured. After demonstrating on the streets of Mauritius in 1982, the exiles were given the derisory compensation of less than 3,000 British pounds each by the British government. When declassified British Foreign Office files were discovered, the full sordid story was laid bare. One file was titled Maintaining the Fiction and instructed British officials to lie that the islanders were itinerant workers, not a stable indigenous population. Secretly, revealed the files, British officials recognised they were open to "charges of dishonesty" because they were planning to "cook the books" - lie. In 2000, the High Court in London ruled the expulsions illegal. In response, the Labour government of Tony Blair invoked the Royal Prerogative, an archaic power invested in the Queen's "Privy Council" that allows the government to bypass parliament and the courts. In this way, the government hoped, the islanders could be prevented from ever returning home. The High Court finally ruled that the Chagossians were entitled to return. In 2008, the Foreign Office appealed to the Supreme Court. Although based on no new evidence, the appeal was successful. I was in the House of Lords - where the court then sat on the day of the judgement. I have never seen such shame-faced judges in what was clearly a political decision. In 2010, the British government sought to reinforce this by establishing a marine nature reserve around the Chagos Islands. The ruse was exposed by WikiLeaks, which published a US embassy diplomatic cable from 2009 that read, "Establishing a marine reserve might indeed, as the FCO's [Colin] Roberts stated, be the most effective long-term way to prevent any of the Chagos Islands' former inhabitants or descendants from resettling." Whether or not the ICC delivers justice that is long overdue, an indefatigable campaign of islanders and their supporters shows no sign of giving up.

WIRED: Inside the High-Stakes Race to Make Quantum Computers Work
by grarpamp 08 Mar '19

08 Mar '19

> https://www.wired.com/story/inside-the-high-stakes-race-to-make-quantum-com… Whether or not Quantum, Fusion, etc are a sure thing, the potential for permanent asymmetric leverage waged and banked during their onset, before any balanced ubiquity sets in if ever, is something to consider. Perhaps two recent examples of similar import were the Internet and the Bomb, both for which most would say there were effectively no holds barred, consideration or fucks given... as with most other advances in history. Keep in mind DNA has not yet been mastered yet the race there is beginning too, including altering us in vivo ie: cures, aging, repairs, memory, cognition. Curious that "Playing God" has tried to stop all in history, yet been soundly defeated by Humanity at each step. Go go go...

Weakly virtualized memory management scheme
by Ryan Carboni 07 Mar '19

07 Mar '19

This is a simple suggestion for a weakly virtualized memory management scheme. Heap allocation for arrays that change in size use a variable width block to choose the position of the memory page that the object is allocated to. Vtables could be nested to reduce risk of ASLR defeat. This is vulnerable to fragmentation for obvious reasons, so it should be limited to objects that are either multiple pages in size or are being modified in size by untrusted code. This would add some factorial complexity over that of ASLR.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmX2_AodFDk I hold out for consensus Give the masses the benefit of the doubt Insist the democratic process will bear this population out I think my only fear of death is that it may not be the end That we may be eternal beings and must do all of this again Oh, please lord, let no such thing be true Though I suspect if I slink back to my enclosure Safe and warm and adequately lit Sufficiently plumbed and ventilated Well, let's just say I would not shake a stick And if pressed, I'll admit I'm ecstatic about the enrichment programs Implemented to extend our captive lifespans I'm excited to see what our keepers have planned Perhaps a bigger cage? Longer chains? Some compelling, novel reasons to remain? "Dad, are we gonna die?" Yes son, both you and I But maybe not today Boys, I've bowed to the keeper's whip for so damn long I think the sad truth is this enclosure is where your old man belongs But you, your hearts are pure When the operant conditioners come to break you in I'll sink my squandered teeth You grab your little brother's hand, run like the wind And if I'm not there, don't look back Just go I don't give a fuck about the enrichment programs Implemented to extend our captive lifespans Motherfucker gonna get a load of what I got planned -- GPG fingerprint: 17FD 615A D20D AFE8 B3E4 C9D2 E324 20BE D47A 78C7
