Freedom is a great foundation for any ideology worth embracing. We need (?may be) an antidote to gen-me's "yes, freedom is my right to live a 100% self centered nihilistic selfish existence", since when the majority of fertile females just ride the cock carousel, we end up with very low fertility and rapidly declining population (masking the oligarchy's infiniggimmigration). For a leg up on the ontological/epistemological foundations of any political theory, Dugin might be half a start to thought and/or discussion: Fourth Political Theory: shortest presentation https://www.geopolitica.ru/en/article/fourth-political-theory-shortest-pres… [Heady, but a comprehensive overview to kick off with - only half way through here and had to take a break; resonating so far with the fundamental of the fact of "being" (sort of like existence, but more about meta awareness - reminds of the logical conclusion of the 'primary unit of authority' yet to meaningfully reach 'the individual' (in our politics at least)).] Fact: I exist. Fact: By virtue of my existence, I am with the right to continue to exist, the right to do those things necessary to perpetuate my existence (grow and hervest plants, farm animals, collect water, build shelter, travel, trade). Fact: I am with existence, awareness, intention, will, mind, body, spirit, emotions, desires, fears, abilities and surely more... Fact: I am with awareness to the degree that I am aware; awareness is an individual experience; the experience of awareness may be vastly different for different individuals. Fact: I am able to en-vision; by this capacity, with will and action, I may create, and I am with the right to create that which I choose to create.

Re: "unclean hands" -- Re: Fw: Re: Assange Superseding Indictment
by таракан 18 Jul '20

The "legal team" of Mr Assange, it is before everything a juicy business... for themselves... 'Law' is a parody there. A necessary comedy for that democratic circus. Well, they won't execute Mr Assange, they will make him slowly and slowly die... to the extradition, then in the USA, then in a supermax, until the end, and he will be an example for the others who would like to try... just don't try... Many things were wrong with Mr Assange, If you intend to be a spy, then you keep your profile a total secret, not showing and advertising yourself everywhere on TV. If you intend to be a 'journalist' (and nothing really positive can be linked to that term) then it's a bad idea to act as a spy... Finally, if you intend to create an 'open society' which is 'clean' and transparent and where everything is been known, that is exactly what the Soros-US-Democratic shit have promoted in Ukraine with the results of breaking the country in two... If you mess with the US military secrets, expect reactions. In Russia, Assange would have been shot dead a long,long time ago for having done just a fraction of what he has done. Sometimes I think shot faster even in 'democratic Ukraine', now after euromaidan. Crimes of war are everywhere. War is awful. Regarding Donbass there are thousands and thousands of anonymous videos on youtube and elsewhere , similar to the 'Collateral Murders' which has produced by WikiLeaks... featuring horrible crimes , some fakes, some reals. (and good luck to know which one are real and which one are fake) So what do we learn from Wikileaks, that the USA are no better than the others 'non-democratic' countries? What a lesson! There is just a conclusion... whatever one may think of Assange, he certainly doesn't deserve such a horrible fate because Assange didn't kill anyone, didn't steal anyone and didn't intend to cause harm to anyone - even not to the US Government apparently... and I do believe he is probably a very naive person. What happens to Assange will happen to many others. Once you're in their supermax, it is hard to escape. Again, all this is a question of action... legal team is bullshit. Totally bullshit. There are ways of making people out of jail... all depends on risks, money and especially motivations. What we see is the manifestation of a hidden (and hideous) power inside the 'democratic' countries. That power can only be fought by a group of people who are opposed to that power for ideological reasons. Once again, so far there are no ideology to unite... ---------- CRYPTOANALYZER ----------

Bitcoin investor sues irs for its unlawful seizure of financial records of crypto exchanges.

https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-investor-sues-irs-unlawful-seizure-financi… Bitcoin Investor Sues IRS for Unlawful Seizure of Financial Records at 3 Crypto Exchanges Bitcoin investor Jim Harper has sued the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), its commissioner, and a number of federal agents. He alleged that they unlawfully seized his private financial information from three cryptocurrency exchanges.Bitcoin Investor vs. IRS Bitcoin investor Jim Harper has filed a lawsuit against IRS Commissioner Charles P. Rettig, the IRS, and “John Doe IRS Agents 1-10.” The latter refers to “fictitious names for the person or persons who authorized and conducted the search” of his private financial records, according to the court document filed on July 15 with the District Court for the District of New Hampshire. A jury trial is demanded. The document outlines three counts of violations. The first is a “violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution” as “the defendants conducted an unlawful search and seizure” of the plaintiff’s private financial information. The second is a violation of the Fifth Amendment as “the defendants violated due process protections in seizing” the plaintiff’s private financial information. The third is a violation of 15 U.S.C. § 7609(f) as the defendants obtained the plaintiff’s “financial records through an unlawful John Doe subpoena.” The complaint detailed that Harper opened an account with Coinbase in 2013. He stopped accumulating new bitcoin and began liquidating his investments at Coinbase and transferred his remaining holdings to a hardware wallet in 2015. By early 2016, he no longer had any bitcoin at Coinbase. From 2016, he liquidated his bitcoin through either Abra or Uphold exchanges. He claimed to have properly declared and paid all applicable taxes on his bitcoin gains. The IRS filed the infamous ex parte “John Doe” administrative summons on Coinbase in 2016, seeking information on U.S. persons who conducted crypto transactions between Jan. 1, 2013, and Dec. 31, 2015. Coinbase protested and the IRS narrowed its demand, seeking instead information regarding accounts with at least the equivalent of $20,000 in crypto transactions in any one year during the above period. When the exchange refused to comply, the IRS petitioned to enforce the summons against Coinbase. According to Coinbase, this means information on 8.9 million transactions and 14,355 account holders.

Ya just can't keep a good meme down
by Zig the N.g 16 Jul '20

16 Jul '20

So you just can't keep a good meme down and since we ripped a new space time continuum in the overton window, those memes just get around all excited like Hillary Clinton at an Iranian missile defence battery at the Tehran international airport - I know, I know, that's an insult to missiles and Ukrainian national airlines. Memes muffaduckas, they be da bomb! #JewishPrivilege Trends on Twitter as People Start to Notice a Pattern http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/jewishprivilege-trends-on-twitter-as-people-s… [triggering Huwaite Zio supremacism meme not attached] Even with all of the banning going on on the internet, the Jews are having a hard time keeping the lid on the bottle as they continue to shove this “white privilege” nonsense down people’s throats while they themselves are by far the wealthiest and most privileged group in America. Typically, Jewish privilege entails being totally above all forms of criticism. However, on Sunday, #JewishPrivilege was a top trending topic on both American and British Twitter. Haaretz: https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/.premium-white-supremacists-trigger-twitter… Some of the tweets revived the attempt to pass themselves off as being Jewish and “confessing” their sins of privilege. One wrote that he felt “guilty that our people’s role in slavery dwarfed Whites, but it’s important we pay for that dominant role that hurt so many millions of blacks. We jews are 1/3 of billionaires and MUST give much more to blacks.” Almost immediately, Jews across Twitter pushed back, using the same hashtag to share their experiences with antisemitism. By early Monday, the hashtag had been largely “flipped”: #JewishPrivilege was dominated by reminders of antisemitism over the years and stories of struggles with modern antisemitism. The reason it “flipped” is that everyone who was tweeting against the Jews was banned. Regrettably, at time of writing, all of the tweets calling out the Jews have been deleted, and all that is left are a bunch of Jews using the hashtag to whine about how mean people are to them. .. [litany of whining tweets elided] These tweets just go on and on and on with these people whining like nothing you’ve ever seen in your life. But you get the picture. Surely, this whole “yes, we are the richest and most powerful, but also the most oppressed, please listen to us whine about how oppressed we are” bit does not go over well with most people? It will be interesting to see if the Jews can continue to manage this situation, continue to deflect from themselves as they promote the idea that certain groups – whites, in particular, and to a much lesser extent, East Asians – need to be punished for their status in society. .. A reminder of what shall contiue to progress if we fail to keep opening that overton window - bent knees by the likes of Linus Cuck Torvalds: Linux Creator Finally Stops Killing Black People, Replaces Murderous Words in Coding Style Guide http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/wip-linux-devs-finally-stop-killing-black-peo… Pictured: Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, back when he still had a spine. Linus Torvalds is old, tired, and just wants to be paid and left alone. They broke him back in 2018, when enemies – led by the New Yorker, a Jewish media publication – effectively ran him out of his own company. He was allowed to return after a period of time off, but now he basically just functions as a figurehead, and does what the frizzy-haired mulattoes running the HR department tell him to do. This newest thing he has agreed to is just simply bizarre. Apparently, we can’t even say the words “white” and “black” anymore – in any context. ZDNet: https://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-team-approves-new-terminology-bans-term… Linus Torvalds approved on Friday a new and more inclusive terminology for the Linux kernel code and documentation. Going forward, Linux developers have been asked to use new terms for the master/slave and blacklist/whitelist terminologies. Proposed alternatives for master/slave include: primary/secondary main/replica or subordinate initiator/target requester/responder controller/device host/worker or proxy leader/follower director/performer Proposed alternatives for blacklist/whitelist include: denylist/allowlist blocklist/passlist The Linux team did not recommend any specific terms but asked developers to choose as appropriate. The new terms are to be used for new source code written for the Linux kernel and its associated documentation. The older terms, considered inadequate now, will only be allowed for maintaining older code and documentation, or “when updating code for an existing (as of 2020) hardware or protocol specification that mandates those terms.” “Primary” and “secondary” are definitely not good replacements for “master” and “slave.” Probably, better terms would be “boss” and “employee.” However, that probably is still not allowed under this new communism that we have on our hands, as it still implies a power differential. The terms leader, director, and controller reek of toxic masculinity. Why does there have to be an imbalance of power with some parts of the Linux kernel being above others? We have equality now, and both people of color and women are at the same level as white men. We need to reflect that in software, just like we’re now making software reflect that black lives matter. There is no place for hierarchy in software function. It’s time to address structural racism in open source software, yes, but it’s also time to address structural inequality. If we want a truly inclusive open source software environment, we need to destroy unequal relationships of power in computer programs. In fact, we need to stop giving orders to our computers altogether. If you think about it, computers are just like black people. We’ve built America on the backs of blacks, by forcing them to pick the civilization-building material known as cotton, and now we’re exploiting computers for our own selfish gains too. It’s slavery all over again. Computer Lives Matter. All lives matter?

a new ideology
by таракан 16 Jul '20

16 Jul '20

ok here we come What movement like cypherpunk are lacking ? Brain, European Brains... Read the "cypherpunk manifesto", it's just pathetic ... a few lines about privacy ... Read the unabomber manifesto, you have a hard time believing such a garbage can come from apparently educated mind in mathematics... just a bunch of banalities... "they kill nature,,, kill them' " Why is that? Simply because ideology is hard. It's maybe harder than everything. Having a lucid vision of past, present and future and what's to be done and achieved at the present time is the only priviledge of a few As for Julian Assange, It's not better "want open socierty... transparency..." well the same open society just put you in jail ... forever... America... USA... the hyper-power with a population of most retarded people... That's getting transparent here.... a nation of idiot cow-boys and their bit**ches cannot produce much , right ? USA ... "the only place who switched directly from barabary to decadence" dixit Albert Einstein (who so far was never proven wrong) Then we have R.U.S.S.I.A where marxism-leninism is still in the air. the last true idology of the human race. Marixsm-leninism is based on real ideology from hegel at least, not something the sectarians americans idiots can get. Russia got hit, badly... still on their feets... only future ideology will come from Russia, despite the social situation of mafiosi-country which is ruling now. Some have made Ukraine as a new ideology... a laboratory of control and horror for the Hillary Clinton power. Russia is also bad but still can be used for a differebnt power... a cypherpunk power or even more... but I only see asmathic freaks here...on this forum !

Free Julian Assange
by jim bell 15 Jul '20

15 Jul '20

https://defend.wikileaks.org/2020/07/03/rights-groups-call-on-uk-to-free-ju… 40+ Rights Groups Call on UK to Free Julian Assange WikiLeaks publisher turns 49 in prison, facing U.S. extradition Dozens of press freedom, human rights, and privacy rights organizations across five continents have co-signed an open letter to the U.K. government, calling for the immediate release of imprisoned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. The publisher, who turns 49 years old today in HMP Belmarsh, is facing extradition to the United States where he has been indicted under the Espionage Act for WikiLeaks’ 2010-11 publications of the Iraq War Logs, the Afghan War Diaries, and State Department cables. If convicted, Mr Assange would face up to 175 years in prison, “tantamount to a death sentence.” The co-signers write, “This [indictment] is an unprecedented escalation of an already disturbing assault on journalism in the US, where President Donald Trump has referred to the news media as the ‘enemy of the people’. Whereas previous presidents have prosecuted whistleblowers and other journalistic sources under the Espionage Act for leaking classified information, the Trump Administration has taken the further step of going after the publisher.” Seventeen of the 18 charges against Mr Assange are under the 1917 Espionage Act, marking the U.S.’s first-ever attempt to prosecute the publication of truthful information in a fundamental test of the First Amendment’s protection of press freedoms. Mr Assange has also been charged with conspiring to violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which uses language similar to the Espionage Act. Reporters without Borders, PEN International, ARTICLE19, the International Federation of Journalists, and the National Union of Journalists are among the 40 rights groups who have signed on to the letter, initiated by the Courage Foundation, a whistleblower support network which campaigns for Mr Assange’s freedom and the public’s right to know. Carles Torner, Executive Director of PEN International, said: “This indictment effectively opens the door to criminalising activities that are vital to many investigative journalists who write about national security matters. Beyond the case itself, we are concerned that the mere fact that Assange now risks extradition and potentially decades behind bars if convicted in the USA has a chilling effect on critical journalism, which is essential for exposing the truth about crimes committed by governments.” [end of partial quote] Jim Bell's comments follow: Yes, I am aware of how controversial Julian Assange is on the Cypherpunks list. My position is, 'Any leak that some government, somewhere, doesn't like is very likely to be a good leak.'
