Ron Unz: Mossad's assassinations of leading Americans - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

We know the CIA's public record of coup's and assassinations is a real threat to social sanity, and there's a somewhat public record of CIA + Mossad cooperation. Ron Unz lays out just some of the Mossad side of the equation (now we know why Unz was being denigrated/ un-personed a few weeks back - someone had inside knowledge of what was coming down the pipeline): Mossad's Bloody Trail of Assassinations of Leading Americans and Others Should Infuriate You - Another Ron Unz Bombshell Article https://russia-insider.com/en/history/mossads-bloody-trail-assassinations-l… It looks like the Soleimani murder is just part of a decades long pattern, as American statecraft blends indistinguishably with Israel's penchant for the underhanded and bloody. ... "The sheer quantity of such foreign assassinations was really quite remarkable, with the knowledgeable reviewer in the New York Times suggesting that the Israeli total over the last half-century or so seemed far greater than that of any other nation." "I might even go farther: if we excluded domestic killings, I wouldn’t be surprised if the body-count exceeded the combined total for that of all other major countries in the world. I think all the lurid revelations of lethal CIA or KGB Cold War assassination plots that I have seen discussed in newspaper articles might fit comfortably into just a chapter or two of Bergman’s extremely long book." "The extent to which the agents of the Jewish state and its Zionist predecessor organizations have engaged in the most rampant international crime and violations of the accepted rules of warfare is really quite extraordinary, perhaps having few parallels in modern world history." ...

Gifts that keep on giving: Oklahoma Uni: Police try to id person posting "IT'S OKAY TO BE WHITE" flyers - [PEACE]

Some 2016 memes, like "wierd flashing GIFs that appear, then disappear, and they're on the Dark Web and NOBODY can find them" keep on giving in 2019: Clinton: “Flashing Videos That Appear and Then Disappear and They’re on the Dark Web and Nobody Can Find Them” http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/clinton-finally-hits-on-reason-she-lost-flash… [Flashing Gif elided] A flashing image I found on the dark web. If this appears or disappears, try refreshing your browser or deleting system32. If you can’t find it after that, you might be out of luck. It is truly incredible that “Madam President Scorned” is still a meme – but it do. She is still out there, every week, dropping new and increasingly fascinating reasons for why she lost the 2016 election. Hillary Clinton: ... “I think it’s going to be the same as 2016,” Clinton said. “I’m going to show you in these flashing videos that appear and then disappear and they’re on the dark web and nobody can find them, but you’re going to see them and you’re going to see that person doing these horrible things.” [Michelle Obama swimsuit shots not attached] Some 2017 memes are gifts that surprisingly, just keep on giving in 2019 - astounding but true: “It’s Okay to be White” Flyers Still Sending Universities Into Chaos http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/its-okay-to-be-white-flyers-still-sending-uni… You’d think liberals would have gotten over it by now… The annual “It’s Okay to be White” freakout is happening again. The Oklahoman: https://oklahoman.com/article/5645882/police-searching-for-suspect-who-left… Police are trying to identify a person who posted flyers saying “IT’S OKAY TO BE WHITE” at the Oklahoma City University School of Law. OCU Police Director Bill Citty said officers don’t believe the person is a threat to students or the school campus. The person left several papers Thursday night with the text “IT’S OKAY TO BE WHITE” outside and on the doors of the law school, 800 N Harvey. Campus police obtained images of the man and have a “good idea” of his identity, Citty said. The Oklahoma City Police Department is trying to locate the man for questioning. “The important thing now is to 100% identify this person and find out what his intentions were,” Citty said. ... Against all odds, it seems like this classic trick is still soliciting the same response from both the schools and the media, showing us once again that liberals won’t learn their lesson if they have an opportunity to freak out and publicly signal how virtuous they are. Once the man is found, officers will try to determine whether he planned any more incidents at OCU. The man will be told not to return to the school campus. The flyers alone don’t appear to be a crime, Citty said. Property would have to be destroyed for vandalism to apply. Officers will investigate whether the person’s actions amounted to a hate crime. ... the law school has been “intentional and relentless” in celebrating its diverse community. The school celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month, LGBTQ+ History Month and Day of the Dead and will honor Native American Heritage Month. Naturally, the school is “intentionally” and “relentlessly” celebrating brown people and perverts, but if anyone publicly claims to be comfortable being a White guy, God help him. Just the fact that the school is reacting this way to this simple flyer sends the message loud and clear that it’s not, in fact, okay to be White. ... Stunning stuff...

Yuri Bezmenov: How To Brainwash A Nation

He explains the 4 basic steps of socially engineering an entire generation into thinking and behaving the way those in power want them to. It's a little freaky that our nation was transformed in the exact same way, and followed the exact same steps. This is related to the classic "Problem - Reaction - Solution" play book. If the problem does not exist to reach the desired solution they cause the problem... (flase flag terror attacks - fear - police state), (Man mad Global warming - fear - Global taxes to fund a world Government), (Underwear bomber - fear - naked body scanners)..... Once we are all aware of this they can't get away with it. " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-QFDX7mLqM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A_jLgTaRjQ

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!

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.

PCR: “It's open season on all White people” - WTC7 - co-ordinated hoaxes - White supremacist Israeli border walls - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

A little rambling, perhaps useful for forwarding to someone. Since border walls are White supremacist tools of oppression, that means Israeli's are White supremacists. Easy as 1, 2 and 3 :) Paul Craig Roberts Slams Dems & Western Media: "It's Open Season On All White People" https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-08-11/paul-craig-roberts-slams-dems-wes… https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/08/10/the-survival-of-the-fittest/ … Only White Supremacists kill people and build walls, unless they are Israelis, but we are not permitted to say anything about that. By law the US has borders that the law demands be enforced. If immigrants can simply walk across the border, why can’t they fly into the country or come by ships? What is the point of passport control? Indeed, what’s the point of passports? The concept of citizenship simply disappears. … If the US would simply stop overthrowing reformist governments in Latin America, the resources of those countries would be taken out of foreign hands and be put to work for the local people, which is what Venezuela is doing much to the chagrin of American oil companies. The last time Honduras elected a reformer, America’s first black president—Obama—overthrew him. Brazil’s Workers Party was destroyed with the US-orchestrated imprisonment of its leader, Lula da Silva, and removal from office of his successor. In their place Washington has installed a corrupt agent of the Americans. Oppression is applied to the supporters among the people of reformist politicians to ensure that voting ceases to put reformers in power. As General Smedley Butler said, “I was the enforcer in Latin America for the New York Banks and the United Fruit Company.” Perhaps it is poetic justice that the peoples whose resources are carted off to America decide to go with the resources. … The El Paso shooting has been turned not only into an attack on President Trump but also into an attack on white people. Suddenly the “Muslim terrorist threat” has disappeared. Its replacement is the domestic terrorist threat of “white supremacy.” The attack on whites is indiscriminate. The attack on Trump extends to all of the Americans who elected him—“Trump deplorables”—in Hillary’s words. All whites become “racists” and are covered in guilt. The anti-white propaganda is effective. Actress Rosanna Arquette said that her white skin makes her ashamed. The success in teaching emotionally and mentally weak white people to feel guilt is to make it easier for those who wish to displace them to run over them. And most definitely, the core white populations of the Western world are being overrun. As white populations have become too brainwashed and loaded with guilt to defend themselves, perhaps the Social Darwinists were correct after all. The fit survive, and white people are no longer among the fit. CNN former host Reza Aslan, now a professor at the University of California, tweeted: “The President is a white nationalist terror leader. His supporters—ALL OF THEM—are by definition white nationalist terror supporters. The MAGA hat is a KKK hood. And this evil, racist scourge must be eradicated from society.” ...

how to background mutt external viewer applications
by Zenaan Harkness 04 Jul '20

04 Jul '20

A hint is here: http://www.guckes.net/Mutt/setup.html To make it work, do e.g. the following in $HOME/.mailcap as follows (the following is to be on one line): application/pdf; (mv %s %s-\; evince %s-\; rm -f %s-)& sleep 0.2s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" Couple keys: - mv mutt's temp file to a new name, so mutt cannot delete the file from under the viewer's feet - do the mv, view and rm in a subshell, so that this mini process can be backgrounded - escape the semi colons in that are part of the viewer mailcap entry (ampersand does not need escaping) - rm the temp file (using its new name) after viewing is finished - sleep for a short bit after backgrounding the viewer, in the hope that your kernel will schedule the viewer to do its thing within that time - this time is a racy heuristic, so can fail of course The ideal solution would be another mailcap part of the line, or option, which specifies that the viewer should be backgrounded, so that this little dance does not have to be copied for every entry of interest - although a handful of such entries will likely capture the bulk of daily requirements...

[WAR] The ministry of truth: NATO liberation of Libya, 2011
by Zenaan Harkness 29 Jun '20

29 Jun '20

If the following were not true, we'd be incredulous that someone would propose such an unbelievable and lame movie plot. Sadly, this is what North America and NATO stand for. I Thought NATO “Liberated” Libya in 2011? http://journal-neo.org/2016/08/04/i-thought-nato-liberated-libya-in-2011/ “Operation Unified Protector is one of the most successful in NATO’s history… We have done this together for the people of Libya, so they can take their future firmly and safely into their own hands. Libyans have now liberated their country. And they have transformed the region. This is their victory” - Former NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, speaking in October, 2011. http://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/news_80052.htm “In Libya, the death of Muammar al-Qaddafi showed that our role in protecting the Libyan people, and helping them break free from a tyrant, was the right thing to do” – US President, Barack Obama, speakingin October, 2011. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-obama-foreignpolicy-idUSTRE79L0MH20111023 “I am proud to stand here on the soil of a free Tripoli and on behalf of the American people I congratulate Libya. This is Libya’s moment, this is Libya’s victory, the future belongs to you” – Former US Secretary of State and Democratic Nominee for President, Hillary Clinton, speaking in October, 2011. https://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2011/10/19/172519.html On August the 1st, US warplanes bombed Islamic State (IS/ISIS/ISIL) targets in the Libyan city of Sirte, almost exactly five years after Western imperialists declared NATO’s 2011 war in Libya a complete success. http://journal-neo.org/2015/10/17/nato-s-humanitarian-intervention-in-libya… These strikes are not the first conducted by the US in Libya this year, in a broader campaign that is officially aimed at defeating an enemy that the US had a major hand in creating in the first place (I’m sure the military-industrial complex isn’t complaining however). Peter Cook, the Pentagon’s Press Secretary, said in a statement released on the 1st of August in relation to the strikes that: http://www.defense.gov/News/News-Releases/News-Release-View/Article/881794/… “Today, at the request of the Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA), the United States military conducted precision air strikes [which is Orwellian/Pentagon-speak for dropping bombs (not uncommonly on civilians)] against ISIL targets in Sirte, Libya, to support GNA-affiliated forces seeking to defeat ISIL in its primary stronghold in Libya… The U.S. stands with the international community in supporting the GNA as it strives to restore stability and security to Libya.” Wait a minute though, have I missed something? I thought Libya was “liberated” in 2011 and the country is now a beacon of ‘freedom and democracy’ for the Middle East and North Africa? Are the Libyan people not enjoying being “free from a tyrant;” similar to the liberty the Syrian people will experience if Assad the ‘tyrant’ is overthrown and the country is handed over to al-Qaeda? Since the future belonged to the Libyan people in 2011, is the country not a vibrant and prosperous democracy today? Is Libya not one of the major hubs of the Mediterranean, with trade booming and flocks of tourists travelling from across the world to sample the delights of the country – from the fascinating culture of the indigenous people to the stunning (I must admit) Roman ruins? I thought the standard of living for the average Libyan was much higher than it was before the tyrant was deposed? Is Libya not helping to build the African continent up to try and alleviate the millions of people who live in poverty? I thought the “most successful” campaign in NATO’s history meant that terrorism could not gain a foothold in the country, considering the Western alliance spends the majority of its time (after antagonising Russia that is) talking about fighting terrorism? I thought NATO’s love-bombs only hit the baddies, and never killed or maimed any civilians? Are the Libyan people not enjoying the fruits of another Western foreign policy success story? Are the Libyan people not enjoying the stability that always follows a Western war of aggression? I thought the Libyan “kinetic military action” was yet another triumphant imperial endeavour, just like Afghanistan, Iraq and the numerous other countries that were lucky to be the targets of Western ‘humanitarian’ forces?

Personal Black Box?
by jim bell 23 Jun '20

23 Jun '20

A few weeks ago, I got done binge-watching every episode of NCIS, and am now up to Season 4 of Criminal Minds. Naturally, this induces a bit of what I'll call cinematic paranoia. In what seems to be a majority of episodes, a victim gets attacked, usually ends up dead, and the plucky investigators are stuck trying to figure out what happened. Naturally, they usually do, but only after about 45 minutes of high-tension showtime. It occurs to me that what people may need, for physical security, would be what might be called a "personal black box", analogous to an airplane flight recorder. Or, a civilian version of a cop's body-cam. Any modern smartphone would have the basics of such a device: A high-resolution camera, microphone, and a huge amount of storage. And a quick 911-call if necessary. The mere possession and use of such a device would probably deter the large majority of potential attackers. And even if it does not completely protect a given user, it would allow far more easy identification of the perpetrator. Parts of this, of course, are not a new idea. https://www.sparkfun.com/news/702 https://www.theglobeandmail.com/technology/gadgets-and-gear/gadgets/your-ow… https://www.zdnet.com/article/fitbit-activity-data-as-evidence-in-court-wea… https://www.medgadget.com/2005/08/cpod_a_personal.html https://newatlas.com/australia-black-box-flight-recorder-soldiers/51267/ However, storage is not enough: In use, in some instances, an attacker would presumably be aware enough to take or break the device, so some sort of continuous or discontinuous upload of the data could be done, to be available no matter what else happens. Say, a frame per second when nothing seems to be happening, and a greater rate when triggered somehow. Could a heart-rate monitor be employed, sensed one axis of the phone's accelerometers? Or if the wearer falls down? Or if a sufficiently-loud noise is heard, etc. Or if a trigger-word is spoken a la Siri? Can the data transfer be made economical? Even an average of 1 megabit/second would be over one gigabyte during a 3 hour usage per day. That's substantially greater than most people currently use. One possibility is that the phone could upload the data to the cell phone company, where it could be "parked" for a few seconds or minutes. If nothing happens to the phone to cause a trigger (some sort of attack) the phone could instruct the cell phone company to abandon the data. Conversely, if a trigger occurs, the cell phone company would move 100% of the data to a backup system for later retrieval. Presumably, the cell phone company would offer discounted rates for such transfers, and only offer that service if the local service is sufficiently unloaded at that moment. Jim Bell
