healthy global banking: "My Bank In Denmark Just Offered Me A Negative Rate Of Interest To Borrow Money" - [PEACE]

You just -know- the global banking system is super healthy when they're literally offering negative interest rates to encourage folks to take out loans. This is the banking system so flushed with debt that they can't get pidgeons to take out more loans, yet since the fundamental of the game is control, more debt means more control means more winning, so more debt must be obtained "at any cost". Read it and prepare for broad systemic collapse, folks: "My Bank In Denmark Just Offered Me A Negative Rate Of Interest To Borrow Money" https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-05/my-bank-denmark-just-offered-me-n… And to show how wonderful moar debt really is, Italy leads the way to dumping the rump: Brace For Impact: Italy Poised To Launch Euro Parallel Currency https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-05/brace-impact-italy-poised-launch-… Just as well y'all got free(!) markets and capitalism <snigger>: Blain: "In 35 Years Of Markets, This Is The Stupidest Moment I’ve Ever Seen" https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-05/blain-35-years-markets-stupidest-… US employment is at a high, the labour market is tightening, there is minimal real inflation and the stock market is off to the races because the Fed says its ready to ease if trade tensions impact the stock market economy. In 35 years of markets, this is perhaps the stupidest moment I’ve ever seen. On Friday we’re likely to see another decent US employment number – which should give lie to the illusion the US needs zero rates. But a strong US jobs report will cause the spoilt brat of a stock market to wail, in fear it might not get another lollipop of easing… If I had any hair left to tear out, would. There is a danger Powell et al seem are confusing the Dow and S&P for the health of the economy, thereby making the Fed complicit in the ultimate market distortion that’s being going on since someone dreamt up QE. The World’s most important central bank is missing the point completely, and more or less promising to bail out stock markets if Trade Tension causes them to weaken. That is an open check. …

Long Term Planning Explained
by Ryan Carboni 05 Jun '19

05 Jun '19

It is counter-intuitive and counter-productive for someone who thinks the government engages in secrecy to have the government violate rights in a secret manner that cannot be contested because of legal complexity. If the government engages in an action, it is popularly known, and it is popularly approved, it could be considered legitimate, but if it is done in secret, it may as well be mob rule.

"Open source" was, is, a magnificent ploy to get access to inventions and information that might have once been kept out of sight by the makers and a few associates. Open source crypto still robbing the guileless by the guilers. Internet, especially its web glorification, another. Wikipedia, Wayback, Google, SM, an almost endless stream of opportunities developed to lure with free services to grab consumer yearnings, opinions, fellows, followers, beliefs, fears, for feeding tailored operations (thx NSA) worldwide to ingest and digest. Consider in this smearing thread, Snowden's openly disclosed 6 top secret years as CIA employee with specific tools and informarion of operations completely unrevealed while piddling months of contractor service with NSA is generously touted as if high-value golden coin. In this roasting comedy, Snowden would be the one who runs the NSA snatch for CIA, NSA unable to admit that it was snookered by its number one competitor. CIA dancing in the aisles, toasting its win with one the oldest cons in history: the orchestrated aggrieved insider. Assange has commented on WikiLeaks being used as a con op, melding accurate material with the bullshit disinfo. As with advertisers and prosecutors, though, he implies this mix is unavoidable, consumers and juries do not want shades of truth, the whole truth and nothing but must be declared to make sales and collaterally murder. Comedian Camp is right to observe, the overtly guilty are not punished, they are rewarded with prizes and medals, to wit, sanitized Edward Snowden, the "Snowden era" grandly avowed. Camp's listing of Snowden's family jewels would be fun. Also open source evangelists.

Full-bore Camp is better than I assumed from the redacted ver. Memorable: his tortured dick (thx Camp) Assange hoisted by fellating Assangists. WikiLeaks is a pretty good (thx Zimmermann) fictional joke name, not overlooking the list of 140 things really non-true about the cahootenanny. Movie Fail-Safe is pretty good at megadeath comedizing, still awaiting takedown of privacy, crypto, terror, sexual assault. Prosecutors rely on fictional non-fiction.

Is it possible to place Assange's face everywhere?
by Douglas Lucas 04 Jun '19

04 Jun '19

See attached screenshot, a portion of the @Unity4J header image. Is it possible to place Assange's face everywhere? Are there any remaining locations that as of yet are not covered with images of Assange's face? On public toilets, in the sky thanks to skywriting jets, on the backs of cereal boxes, attached inexplicably to @_cryptome_ tweets, deep in the ocean in trenches where strange lifeforms struggle to survive, atop and skidding around the ice of Europa next to a zamboni driven by a dude in an Assange mask, replace the Man in the Moon with Assange's face, tattoe his face on the outside-the-bell-curve penises of porn stars, in fact eliminate 100% of content of any and all leaks -- swap all text of, say, the HBGary leak, with <img> of Assange's face -- hunt down decaying NES cartridges and somehow reprogram them such that when you plug them into the Nintendo, on the non-CRT ancient television set a giant image of Assange's face appears, puzzling your child about his or her next move and his or her purpose in life. What criteria should guide actions? What should the goals be, and what steps should be taken to achieve those goals? Is there any metanarrative any more to bring meaning, to face challenges, to... nevermind, just put Assange's face everywhere. It is a little odd to me, the choice of Assange's face for the image that a planet of primates are dedicating the irreplaceable hours of their lives to spreading everywhere like dandelion. Are not their spouses a little upset? Do they not have laundry, other tasks to complete? Did they go out on Valentine's Day for ice cream or did they place Assange's face on additional various surfaces where, by some unusual chance, it did not already exist? I assume military psychology studies say the commoners are most compelled, most controlled, by images of faces, but why not, say, Assange's middle left toe? It would be a far more interesting experiment if @Unity4J covered their banner with images of Assange's middle left toe. And if Assange's middle left toe was placed everywhere, on public toilets, on cereal boxes, etc. Imagine the sheer confusion, followed by outrage, of #Unity4J if the chin, the nose, the hair, the eyelids, of Assange were suddenly replaced with images of his gunk-encrusted, never-cut middle left toenail (it is false and defamatory to say Saint Julian does not use toenail clippers properly) ... #Unity4J would not know what to do, they would appeal to the blue check marks for guidance, but all there would be in answer, would be this metastazing, duplicating, reduplicating, exponential planetary coverage of a single individual's, one primate's among billions, middle left toe and the gunk beneath the toenail. New study says humanity will be extinct by 2050, in this chaos you are already walking up and down the interstates trying not to be murdered, but one image is fixated in your mind, one certain human's ... face...was it worth it?

Let's not forget that there are parties participating in these global "law, journalism, etc" conversations that are in direct publishing competition with WikiLeaks, in conflict of interest, often holding anti-freedom pro-themselves forcibly over others philosophies. Some of them who have already by some combination whether voluntarily, or by pressure, or by force... taken down their own prior publications... whether they be true, or opinion, or even as acceptable and right when proven false... yet often when taken down, done so silently with no published explanation as to why. Some of them who have never published information that was classified at the time of publishing as TOP SECRET, nor SECRET, or even CLASSIFIED, rendering their conversation perhaps at times an envious attack vs altruistic support, or a side bid advert to be in receipt for their own glory. Some who would never publish same, and some who would take it down when asked, most well before expending their own cryptocurrency coinbag on freedom of speech trial, or their years on contempt or other imprisonment. No. Some of these issues make it apparent things are largely and rightly in the hands of the "leakers" as the ones who ensure their message of the truth at least gets heard, as unredacted, unfiltered, uninterpreted, uncensored, unmetered, and untakedowned as they intend... whether anonymously on the distributed networks, in the Library stacks, wherever good... even their own voice on the call in hour of their local 2600 hackerspace guerrilla radio show, followed by distribution packets transmitted via SDR to all, amplified and repeated by hammy hackery of others worldwide over tropospheric bounce. Gear up, test opsec, redundancy survival permanence distribution, and send your message.

18 ways Julian Assange changed the world (by Lee Camp) - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 04 Jun '19

Lee Camp puts into words the significant headlines (positives) re Julian Assange. Thank you Lee Camp. 18 ways Julian Assange changed the world (by Lee Camp) https://www.rt.com/op-ed/460935-julian-assange-changed-world/ In an evolved and fully realized society, the oligarchy would see Assange as a dangerous criminal (which they do), and the average working men and women would view him as justice personified (which they don’t). We would celebrate him even as the mass media told us to hope for his downfall—like a Batman or a Robin Hood or an Ozzy Osbourne (the early years, not the cleaning-dog-turds-off-his-carpet years). But we are not evolved and this is not Gotham City and average Americans don’t root for the truth. Many Americans cheer for Assange’s imprisonment. They believe the corporate plutocratic talking points and yearn for the days when we no longer have to hear about our country’s crimes against humanity or our bankers’ crimes against the economy. Subconsciously they must believe that a life in which we’re tirelessly exploited by rich villains and know all about it thanks to the exhaustive efforts of an eccentric Australian is worse than one in which we’re tirelessly exploited by rich villains yet know nothing about it. “Ignorance is bliss” is the meditative mantra of the United States of America. Julian Assange has been arrested and is now locked away in British custody. The U.S. government wants to extradite him, regardless of the official version, for the crime of revealing our government’s crimes. Nearly every government on our third rock from the sun despises the man for bringing transparency to the process of ruling the unwashed masses. (The level of wash has, however, increased thanks to aggressive marketing campaigns from a variety of shampoo brands.) It is politically inconvenient at this time for the screaming corporate news to remind our entire citizenry what exactly WikiLeaks has done for us. So you won’t see the following list of WikiLeaks’ accomplishments anywhere on your corporate airwaves—in the same way the mainstream media did not begin every report about Chelsea Manning’s trial with a rundown of the war crimes she helped reveal. And Chelsea Manning’s most famous leak is arguably also WikiLeaks’ most famous leak, so it’ll top this list: 1) That would be the notorious Collateral Murder video, showing U.S. air crew gunning down unarmed Iraqi civilians with an enthusiasm that couldn’t be matched by an eight-year-old winning a five-foot-tall stuffed animal at the county fair. They murdered between 12 and 18 innocent people, two of them Reuters journalists. Zero people have been arrested for the collateral murders. Yet Julian Assange has been arrested for revealing them. 2) WikiLeaks brought us the Guantanamo Bay “Camp Delta Standard Operating Procedures”—showing that many of the prisoners held on the U.S. military detention facility were completely innocent, and that some were hidden from Red Cross officials. (Because when you’re torturing innocent people, you kinda want to do that in peace and quiet, away from prying eyes. It’s very easy to get distracted, and then you lose your place and have to start all over again.) None of the soldiers torturing innocent people at Gitmo have been arrested for it. Yet Julian Assange has been arrested for revealing it. 3) Not content with revealing only war crimes, WikiLeaks in 2008 came out with the secret bibles of Scientology, which showed that aliens, um, run the world or… aliens are inside all of us or… aliens give us indigestion. I can’t really remember. But no one has ever been arrested for perpetrating that nutbag cult. Yet Julian Assange has for revealing it. ...
