America needs a conscience - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 25 Jul '20

25 Jul '20

(North) America needs a conscience. This need is a duty we all share, and we each must do our part, calling out despotism and evil in its many disguises. Patriotic Dissent: How A Working-Class Soldier Turned Against "Forever Wars" https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/patriotic-dissent-how-working-class-… Steve Early and Suzanne Gordon via Counterpunch.org, https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/07/24/patriotic-dissent-how-a-working-cla… .. Not many on the left favor a return to conscription. But Sjursen makes it clear there’s been a downside to the U.S. replacing “citizen soldiering” with “a tiny professional warrior caste,” created in response to draft-driven dissent against the Vietnam War, inside and outside the military. As he observes: “Nothing so motivates a young adult to follow foreign policy, to weigh the advisability or morality of an ongoing war as the possibility of having to put ‘skin in the game.’ Without at least the potential requirement to serve in the military and in one of America’s now countless wars, an entire generation—or really two, since President Nixon ended the draft in 1973–has had the luxury of ignoring the ills of U.S. foreign policy, to distance themselves from its reality.” ...

Gaynor: Free Speech update: Garry Burns is bankrupt
by Zenaan Harkness 24 Jul '20

24 Jul '20

Awesome news folks, the New South Wales Anti-Discrimination Board (in NSW, Australia) "is on the verge of a catastrophic defeat"!!! Fan, freaking, tastic, BatMan! Not quite there yet on this front, but thousands have contributed from their wallets, from their prayers, and from their moral support to Bernard and his family - they went through some really tough times, even before Covid tought us the meaning of "tough" <:D>. Seriously, Gaynor is a trooper and so many have played their small part. It ain't over yet either! Cancel culture might have just taken a hit, but there's a metric tonne to go yet. Stay the course! Pray, muffas! Pray for righteousness, for justice to prevail, and for those good men under attack to find the strength within to stay the course of truth and justice. Peace, ----- Forwarded message from Bernard Gaynor <personal(a)bernardgaynor.com.au> ----- From: Bernard Gaynor <personal(a)bernardgaynor.com.au> Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2020 08:15:42 +0000 Subject: Free Speech update: Garry Burns is bankrupt X-Mailer: MailChimp Mailer - **CID932b777af0761ea41511** List-ID: 2f7e1c8c95718aa1558f96210mc list <2f7e1c8c95718aa1558f96210.171997.list-id.mcsv.net> Garry Burns has filed for bankruptcy View this email in your browser (https://mailchi.mp/bernardgaynor/u9ceet3738-840822?e=761ea41511) https://bernardgaynor.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2f7e1c8c95718aa155… Dear Zenaan, Garry Burns is bankrupt. (https://bernardgaynor.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2f7e1c8c95718aa155…) This does not mean that his complaints against me are over. There is still a process to unfold. But it does mean that they could end soon. Then the work of holding the New South Wales Anti-Discrimination Board to account will begin. I have written some thoughts about Burns' bankruptcy here (https://bernardgaynor.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2f7e1c8c95718aa155…) . And this piece highlights (https://bernardgaynor.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2f7e1c8c95718aa155…) the important victories that we have achieved since this farcical saga first began. You will not hear about these victories in the mainstream media. When we take stock, it is clear that the New South Wales anti-discrimination industry is on the verge of a catastrophic defeat. These victories are proof that conservatives can win. They are also proof that those who attack us have complete disregard for the law. However, there is still work to be done. I still have legal costs to pay and still face proceedings in the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal, NSW Local Court, NSW Supreme Court and High Court of Australia. If you wish to assist, please donate here. (https://bernardgaynor.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2f7e1c8c95718aa155…) I have also commenced action to examine Garry Burns' financial affairs. I have reason to believe that this may be an explosive process. Stay tuned. On Tuesday night at 8pm I will be appearing on Pellowe Talk to discuss these matters. Tune in online by visiting https://bernardgaynor.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2f7e1c8c95718aa155… and clicking on the live stream. I will also be speaking about my latest podcast which focuses on the attack on free speech and 'cancel culture'. You can view this by clicking below: https://bernardgaynor.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2f7e1c8c95718aa155… Finally, thank you for your ongoing support, prayers, encouragement and generosity.

We learned about the Clipper chip, in 1993, and understood why to oppose it. but there is nothing new in that piece of MS advertising. Already the vast majority of retards use the nsa datacenter 'cloud' under the google brand, the amazon brand...the MS brand and all the rest of 'private' fronts for the spying operations of US military. MS saying they added some bullshit 'security' to their nsa datacenter 'cloud' is like a coca cola advertising. Fully void of any meaningful content.

Communication Channels [PEACE]
by Karl 21 Jul '20

21 Jul '20

We may or may not incidentally represent major influential figures and for one thing our devices are hacked to control our world decisions. We need help securing our devices and understanding what is true about device security, and what is needed to improve it. Is there a communication channel that resists censorship better than e-mail and provides for possible anonymity, to talk with people who have the knowledge to relate around establishing secure systems and improving device security? Thanks, Krazy Karl There is proof inside many peoples' electronics. Proof that a marketing group would contract development of a frightening virus. A virus that responds to peoples' keystrokes and browsing habits, and changes what people see on their devices. A virus that alters political behavior en masse, for profit.

If you're current RAM+swap is say 8GiB+8GiB, one alternative is to consider upgrading RAM to 16GiB and ditching swap entirely. That could save your lazy butt from having to learn how to encrypt swap - and just so you know I do in fact want you to feel good about your choice, it will also mean a faster overall user experience ;D

Black Revival - Jesse Lee Peterson, interviewed by Jimmy Chang and overlord Azzmador - [PEACE]

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.

Juan, you have a lot of women on your side! - [PEACE]

So chaos is wanted by some, and in the face of despotism, it is sometimes hard to argue against the karmic value of chaos. And our resident friendly BatSoup n.gger certainly has Seattle City Councilman (man) Lisa Herbold on his side in the "bring on chaos" department of bringing on chaos. Seattle City Council Member Suggests Firing White Officers In Massive Reduction Of Police Department Jonathan Turley, https://jonathanturley.org/2020/07/17/seattle-city-council-member-suggests-… https://www.zerohedge.com/political/seattle-city-council-member-suggests-fi… [incredibly smug image of Lisa Herbold in original article] The Seattle City Council is facing something of a dilemma in its popular pledge of the Seattle City Council to cut the police budget by 50 percent. To do so would require firing a significant number of police officers, which is also popular. The problem is that the firing would be done by seniority and many of the less senior officers are black. The solution according to City Council member Lisa Herbold is simple: fire officers based on their race. https://www.seattle.gov/council/herbold While that would be the definition of racial discrimination, Herbold clearly believes that it is discrimination for a good cause. The federal courts are likely to disagree. Most notably, Herbold’s call for racial discrimination against white officers would seek to undue the work of Justice Thurgood Marshall who insisted that racial discrimination unlawful and evil regardless of the race you want to disenfranchise or discriminate against. Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best released a video calling the plan of Herbold and others “completely reckless.” She also sent a letter to Mayor Jenny Durkan warning that dramatic cuts would require the layoff of hundreds of officers. The Police Department also warned that the firings would include many minority officers. https://spdblotter.seattle.gov/2020/07/10/chief-bests-message-to-officers-m… ... The Demon.rat n.ggers march ever onward to black utopia...
