Organ Harvesting - "good business practice" - China's evil underbelly - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 09 Apr '20

09 Apr '20

Business - "take advantage" (in Chinese) - "good Chinese business practice" where if someone's on death row, why not make good use of their organs? And if someone with an organ you need, is not on death's row, perhaps they're involved in an illegal religion and can be 'disappeared' with state support... Aka, why we should disengage from China, why we should not buy Chinese, why we should hold ourselves to higher standards than the very Jewish slave and organ harvesting trades. Robert Kaplan lays out a simple parable to make this even easier to understand. The Moral Case For Decoupling From China https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/moral-case-decoupling-china https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/12/the_moral_case_for_decoupl… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-2cArChw5M ~290MiB with -F18 ... The whole 68-minute interview is interesting but where he is a thought leader is in his parable of the delicatessen, transcribed below: "Suppose you lived on 86th st and at the local delicatessen with fine produce, at the front of the shop were all these goodies. But if you went to the very back of the shop there were sort of vats which were kept just above freezing which had freshly harvested kidneys and livers and hearts and all the things which are used at this moment. … People are being killed so their organs can be used for transplants. Many of which go to the very elderly Chinese leadership or their children. The son of one of the recent leaders of China has had cancer and he has had many organs replaced. Well, what would you say about this shop. Would you say, well, I think I’ll just shop in the front of the shop and I won’t pay any attention to the fact that there are all these living human organs, God knows where they came from, that are in the back. What you would say is ‘What the heck is this shop doing in America?’ You can’t decouple these things. This is one integral system. And that is one of the reasons we have to quarantine China economically. A rationalisation for saying ‘Well yes it’s true that there is some question with what Hitler is doing with the gypsies and the Jews but Leica still makes a hell of a good camera.” ...

Gold and Silver coin - South Carolina 4th state in the union, Ag/Au = legal tender - [MONEY]
by Zenaan Harkness 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

>From the "getting back to the constitution" and the "about time" departments (but Texas is not yet one of those 4 states): South Carolina Legal Tender Act Would Treat Gold & Silver As Money https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/south-carolina-legal-tender-act-would-t… https://libertarianinstitute.org/articles/south-carolina-legal-tender-act-w… A bill prefiled in the South Carolina House would make gold and silver coins legal tender in the state. Passage of this bill would take a step toward creating currency competition in South Carolina and undermine the Federal Reserve’s monopoly on money. Rep. Stewart Jones filed House Bill 4678 (H.4678) on Nov. 20. Under the proposed law, “gold and silver coins minted foreign or domestic shall be legal tender in the State of South Carolina under the laws of this State. No person or other entity may compel another person or other entity to tender or accept gold or silver coin unless agreed upon by the parties.” Practically speaking, this would allow South Carolina residents to use gold or silver coins to pay taxes and other debts owed to the state. In effect, it would put gold and silver on the same footing as Federal Reserve notes. The phrase, “unless agreed upon by the parties” has important legal ramifications. This wording reaffirms the court’s ability, and constitutional responsibility according to Article I, Section 10, to require specific performance when enforcing such contracts. If voluntary parties agree to be paid, or to pay, in gold and silver coin, South Carolina courts could not substitute any other thing, e.g. Federal Reserve Notes, as payment. South Carolina could become the fourth state to recognize gold and silver as legal tender. Utah led the way, reestablishing constitutional money in 2011. Wyoming and Oklahoma have since joined. The effect has been most dramatic in Utah where United Precious Metals Association (UMPA) was established after the passage of the Utah Specie Legal Tender Act and the elimination of all taxes on gold and silver. UPMA offers accounts denominated in U.S. minted gold and silver dollars. The company also recently released the “Utah Goldback.” UPMA describes it as “the first local, voluntary currency to be made of a spendable, beautiful, physical gold.” South Carolina has already repealed the sales tax on gold and silver. That removed one barrier to using gold and silver in everyday transactions. Capital gains taxes are still imposed on gold and silver for state income tax purposes. After establishing gold and silver as legal tender, South Carolina should repeal the capital gains tax to completely open the door to using it as money. As the Sound Money Defence League explains, “Practically speaking, state laws that recognize gold and silver as money restore a government view of precious metals as the favored form of money – a currency rather than a piece of property or other asset. Using this logic, it would be inappropriate for a state to levy taxes when the precious metals are used or exchanged.” Background ...

Oh how we love a good troll. And All the better when it's a troll stating a fact.

Watch Boris Johnson bumble through this embarrassing exchange with Lavrov in Moscow yesterday.

It is about the size of Western Europe and has a population in excess of 80 million. Iran also has the 3rd largest reserves of conventional (cheaply extracted) oil in the world and the 2nd largest natural gas reserves. Iran is clearly a force to be reckoned with. As such, it considers itself the protector of Shi’a Muslims, who often live under extreme Sunni repression throughout the region. No amount of US pressure has succeeded in halting the “protector” policy.

root "login" xterm to increase security?
by Zenaan Harkness 20 Mar '20

20 Mar '20

So someone cracking into one's local user account via browser sploit, one of the first acts would likely be to plant a password capture script, e.g. wrapping sudo or something otherwise requiring password entry. Once a password is obtained, via brute force or trojan, sudo gives the entire system away. A convenience is some do "useradd me disk" - but again, any crack of local account (even without password), now gives away all disks. Convenience vs security. So what to do? 1) delgroup me disk "Important" data such as keyfiles ought be stored with no "primary user account access", so group "disk" ought not be part of "primary user"'s groups. Are there any other groups that "really ought" be removed from the local primary user account? 2) Disable sudo and disable su su (as well as sudo) again has the problem of password capture if su or sudo is run from the primary user account after a sploit + trojan planted. So, obviously, we need "clean" root logins, i.e.: - separate root account for admin/disk tasks - clean login, i.e. not via primary user account but using a clean "login" process outside any user account And so logically, the immediate test is as follows (does not work for me, gives me a .profile/.bashrc shell, not a login prompt): xterm -ls Note man xterm: -ls This option indicates that the shell that is started in the xterm window will be a login shell (i.e., the first character of argv[0] will be a dash, indicating to the shell that it should read the user's .login or .profile). The -ls flag and the loginShell resource are ignored if -e is also given, because xterm does not know how to make the shell start the given command after whatever it does when it is a login shell - the user's shell of choice need not be a Bourne shell after all. Also, xterm -e is supposed to provide a consistent functionality for other applications that need to start text-mode programs in a window, and if loginShell were not ignored, the result of ~/.profile might interfere with that. If you do want the effect of -ls and -e simultaneously, you may get away with something like xterm -e /bin/bash -l -c "my command here" Finally, -ls is not completely ignored, because xterm -ls -e does write a /var/log/wtmp entry (if configured to do so), whereas xterm -e does not. QUESTIONS: a) anyone know how to make xterm -ls give a 'clean' login prompt? b) is any presumption of a "clean" login prompt inside xterm, when launched from a primary account xterm session, a folly? c) is there any other option for root in X, which could be considered "resonably secure" in the face of a cracked local X using account? 3) Qubes. Isolate each activity into its own VM. Notwithstanding hardware/CPU level firetruckery (another problem which as grarpamp reminds us requires OpenFabs, OpenHW, OpenCPU etc), isolating each activity, especially public facing activity such as web browsing, appears to be a very reasonable proposition - this way a browser crack means root access in the browser's VM, and not automatically into the rest of the system (VM sploits notwithstanding).

[MINISTRY] word of the day⦂ “pettifoggery” - Muller scrambles to limit evidence as indicted Russians actually appear in "electshun interference" case

Ironic winning has never seen such levels — seriously off the chartski: Mueller Scrambles To Limit Evidence After Indicted Russians Actually Show Up In Court https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-06-12/mueller-scrambles-limit-evidence-… So at least some of these wicked nasty interfering Russians decided to have a little fun with Mueller, Russkie style. ‼ dang ‼ yeah baby, bring it on :D They wants their evidence of course (this -is- an axshual case in an actual court with a looming actual trial after all) and Mueller is now scrambling to hide his sorry arse from an embarrassing "in Soviet Russia, evidence charge you, Mr Mueller" :) Read it but do NOT chuckle, for in Russia, joke laugh you, da¿ The indictment accuses the firm of producing propaganda, pretending to be U.S. activists online and posting political content on social media in order to sow discord among American voters. … Mueller also accused Concord of "knowingly and intentionally" conspiring to interfere with the election by using social media to disparage Hillary Clinton and support Donald Trump. And Concord Management decided to fight it... Mueller probably didn't see that coming [no shirt, Shirlock] And the judge: In a mad scramble to [now] put the brakes on the case, Mueller's team tried to delay the trial - saying that Concord never formally accepted the court summons related to the case… The Judge, Dabney Friedrich - a Trump appointee, didn't buy it - denying Mueller a delay in the high-profile trial. So sad... so many salty, salty red tears for Mueller.

It's always reassuring to see someone notice, let alone take action, in relation to one or another of our freedoms - be that the freedom to communicate, the freedom to move and travel anonymously within our communities, or the freedom to engage in a vigorous and vicious verbal stoush with a "sworn arch enemy" for a few days, and turn around afterwards and still continue communicating with them - or not - as we so freely choose. When the screaming banshee snowflakes do all in their power to drown out discussion of rights, principles and freedoms because "muh safe space" and "how dare you f*ck with my safe comfy space, I'll have you censored, hounded out of the community, and have you lose your job to boot, because you said something I don't like", unfrotunately there are some list admins who happily ban the one exercising the free speech, and not the one wanting to "shut it all down, muh safe space!" And so the bannings, kickings, or worse even the shadow bannings are imposed and dissent is met with more bannings and finally a massive swinging CoC dangled in front "the community" - a set of rules or most often just a statement or 3 about how we having to be good to one another, which CoC is thereafter used as the justification for more bannings and censorship. If there is to be any line in the sand, what ought that line be? >From a mailing list administrator's point of view, expecting them to oppose "the statute law" is too much - many would simply close up shop altogether. So in our present world, that is perhaps, perhaps, the only reasonably acceptable line for "you've crossed the line on free speech", and even then bannings or removal probably should not happen unless a court order is served on the list administrator. That's called presumption of innocence and assuming we do in fact have the right to live our rights. I appreciate your blog, and perhaps a few on the CypherPunks list may also appreciate it - CyphePunks is one of the few mailing lists that still strives to be staunch in standing for free speech - including the right of those who want to say "shut it down".

Volcker (the Fed): “The American standard of living must decline” - End the Fed - [MONEY] [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 08 Mar '20

08 Mar '20

Paul Volcker, chairman of the Fed, August 1979 to August 1987: “The American standard of living must decline” And indeed it has, just as the Aussie dollar has been gutted, so too has the US fiat. Paul Adolph Volcker Jr. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Volcker Rabobank: "The Key Reason We Are In This Mess Is Due To Volcker" https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/rabobank-key-reason-we-are-mess-due-volck… John Maynard Keynes: "There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-12-09/end-epoch-report-8-dec The End of an Epoch, Report 8 Dec A fundamental change: "The Fed has gone from the financial bubble’s hostage to its guardian." https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/trapped-when-will-we-know-they-lost-contr… Trapped (When Will We Know 'They' Lost Control?) "As asset markets have become so large, relative to the real economy, their turbulence determines the economic outlook and not, as is normally the case, the other way around. This is why the Fed has cut interest rates during the trade war, even with unemployment at historic lows. It views the ensuing market turbulence as a threat to the economy. The Fed has gone from the financial bubble’s hostage to its guardian." ... So why would the Fed worry about any "threat to the economy"? Could it be that about half a quintillion fiats of debt, ultimately "owed" to the BIS, via the Fed, is the control mechanism upon the world, used to dictate to parliaments, militaries and the people generally, what systems we are to have - what systems of government, which "regimes" must be overthrown by "our" militaries, and which financial instruments (e.g. debt vs credit paper issuance or "fiat printing") we are allowed to use ('member JFK briefly, just prior to his death, fired up the Greenback 'credit paper' printing press)? Why would the BIS insist that the entire world (minus NK, Iran and Venezuela, surprise surprise) is only allowed to print debt based fiats, and not credit based fiats? Could it be that the BIS and its (((owners))) want to pretend they own the world, and all of us too, and don't want us to have liberty, freedom, all those sorts of good things? If the BIS/Fed had actually managed to subdue NK, Iran and Venezuela, along with Iraq and Libya (remember Saddam and Qaddhafi), then the global hegemonic order might have been considered done, and the USD reset, and issuance of a New World Order debt based fiat, could have proceeded aplan. But Putin was not Saddam'ed, Qadhafi'ed or JFK'ed, and he stood by Syria, and effectively Iran, and has very publicly stated that nations have a right to their sovereignty, and that Russia values her own sovereignty very highly. So now it's a multi polar world and TPTB are jostling for power and control in the aftermath of their epic "all chips on the table" NWO failure. Perhaps this is the underlying economic/power reason that we remain in a kind of limbo? Perhaps TPTB cannot bear to reset the USD fiat system thus hastening the multi polar world, and are just zombie-ing along pitifully? ------ Imagine for moment, entirely hypothetically mind you, that you yourself are Monti Burns gleefully rubbing his hands together about a half a quintillion USD fiats "owed" to you, or rather, to the BIS. Now imagine that instead of real and substantial relationships built up over decades, you'd merely enslaved, bombed into submission, and indebted those 99% of nations that ARE a part of the BIS Federal Reserve system, and so all thinkers / observers in the world, are fundamentally pissed off with the way things are, and are just waiting for the bell to toll on the USD as they issue national currencies and finally shake off the cobwebs of the BIS? Would you not, in this entirely ficticious hypothetical, be a little annoyed that you 500 trillion fiats of debt owed to you, were about to "go up in smoke" the minute this debt based fiat system collapses under its exponential thus mathematically pre-ordained weight? Wouldn't this all be just, slightly annoying? And so perhaps you'd even consider lowering interest rates to less than zero and printing the firetruck out of those USD fiats, just to keep the bubble inflated while you try, vainly and pathetically, to figure out a better exit strategy? Not an enviable position to be in - from a purely "strategic problem space" perspective of course, since you still own all the relevant banks, media houses, corporations, militaries and governments. But still. Half a f@#king quintillion fiat dollars about to go up in smoke! Damn dude! What a decision to have to make?! What would Jesus do? What would you do? -- Seven day challenge muffas :D Put your dignity first, heh? ;)
