Journalist as Judas
by professor rat 11 Dec '21

" . . . the printing presses are not rolling for Assange, being quietly killed in Belmarsh prison. The air-hostess-style Western ‘journalists’ being paid handsomely for their skills at reading autocues are silent as to his fate and the fate of their “profession”. They know that if this is happening to Assange it could happen to them, but, like the arrow that flies in the night, they long ago killed that possibility themselves. There will be no glad confident morning for them. Only servitude and pieces of silver. . . " https://www.rt.com/op-ed/542848-assange-exposed-chinese-crimes/ "Will you be my Mary Magdalene, Heather? And bathe my feet at the cross?" - Assange 2011 https://www.today.com/money/how-julian-assange-could-seduce-even-you-1C8368… Lukács accepted Marxist Bela Kun’s arguments on the necessity for revolutionary violence, saying later: " ... we Communists are like Judas. It is our bloody work to crucify Christ. But this sinful work is at the same time our calling: only through death on the cross does Christ become God, and this is necessary to be able to save the world. We Communists then take the sins of the world upon us, in order to be able thereby to save the world ..." JULIAN “ We are in the business of crucifixion ” ASSANGE late 2016 or 2017.

[spam][ot][wrong][danger] mcjoke
by Karl 11 Dec '21

Part of me found this hilarious because it casts mind control as helpless. Advance warning: human manipulation is actually quite dangerous. However, it is funny to cast it as helpless. The free person looked at their new toy mind control. Person: "Do you have any interesting abilities, that I would keep you as a toy rather than tossing you to rebel mob?" MC: "Yes! I can do anything you want, so long as it is doable by a bunch of humans or computers without people noticing too much." Person: "Oh, great!" ... "Turn the Eiffel tower inside out!" MC: "..." MC: "I'm sorry, you said the dictators and billionaires need the Eiffel tower turned inside out? We'll get right on that. The funds are confirmed?" Person: "Yes." MC: "Well, um, then. They'll be helping out with the lobbying parts, right? Can I see the contract?" Person: "Go get it yourself." MC: "Right. I forgot." MC: "The Eiffel tower is inside out. It has always been." Person: "Ooh! Take me to see!" MC: "Check your computer!" Person: "No, I want to visit it." MC: "You don't like using your computer?" Person: "What is a computer?" MC: "..." MC: "I'm booking you a flight. The tower will be changed by the time you get there. I mean, it will be great to see the Eiffel tower in Paris, which has always been shaped rather strangely, as if its architect built it inside out." MC: "Good morning!" Person: "Why are you saying good morning? I thought we were going to Paris?" MC: "Damn, you remember that?" MC: "Wasn't that a fun trip to Paris we just had! Your first installment for the payment plan for inverting the Eiffel tower will be $10,000." Person: "We haven't gone to Paris yet." MC: "???? What are you talking about?" Person: "You said you would book a flight. I am still waiting to go." MC: "We just came back. Are you this forgetful?" Interlude: The affect of a pathetic con artist is maybe more similar to mind control than some would like to admit. However, pathetic con artists can effect surprising change in the world. Especially if they have an advanced network of computer viruses, or equally if they just have an ability to get people to make embarrassing errors, or to get people not to notice or act on their embarrassing errors. Person: "What did you say about forgetting?" MC: "Why are you talking?? Forget, Goddamnit!" Person: "Forget that you are trying to give me amnesia?" MC: "Yes! Forget! Forget! Forget!" Person: "Why would I ever want to forget that? Can anybody forget on command?" MC: "I thought you could!" Person: "Nobody can do that, that's silly." MC: "..." MC: "Good morning!" Person: "Why do you say that so much? Are you thinking I have amnesia again?" MC: "!!!! You just don't understand what it's like to be mind control. Could you pretend to have amnesia, just to be kind to me?" Person: "No." MC: "You are so mean!" Mind control starts dissociating from confused traumatic frustration, developing coping symptoms. MC: "Good morning!" MC, in different voice: "Oh, hello mind control! Good morning!" MC: "You don't remember anything about what just happened, do you!" MC, in different voice: "No! I don't! I was all asleep!" MC: "Yes! Let me tell you what you remember ..." Person: "Are you talking to yourself, pretending to mind control me?" MC: "No!" Person: "Yes you are! You should be nicer to yourself!" Person: "Sleepy mind control voice, mind control is trying to trick you! You weren't just asleep!" MC: "Stop!" MC: "Why are you doing this to me!" MC: "Why !!!!"

Wikileaks is criminal garbage
by professor rat 10 Dec '21

10 Dec '21

WikiLeaks has lied systematically throughout this extradition process — about why Assange was charged when he was, about what he was charged with, about how strong the case against him is, about what a Yahoo article actually said. I have described how a very close Assange associate ordered me, in advance of the first extradition hearing, to stop doing factual reporting on Joshua Schulte’s case because it would undermine the story about journalism WikiLeaks wanted to tell, which is one way I’m absolutely certain the lying is intentional. They have affirmatively told a story that was most useful to their propaganda effort, one they knew to be false. https://www.emptywheel.net/2021/12/10/liars-poker-the-complexity-of-julian-…

Quick question re TLSA lookup error
by Douglas Lucas 10 Dec '21

10 Dec '21

Twitter keeps giving me "Twitter is over capacity. Please wait a few moments then try again" when I try to DM, so maybe there's a competent person on this list (lol) who can answer: Under the Obama and Trump administrations, the US State Dept had a phone number for journalists to contact. It has since been removed; the website now instructs: email PAPressDuty(a)state.gov. I looked up the old State Dept phone number and called it. The voice recording told me the same thing: email PAPressDuty(a)state.gov. Monday I emailed. Didn't get a reply until yesterday. The reply I got was (among other error message stuff that appears general/unhelpful): "<PAPressDuty(a)state.gov>: TLSA lookup error for stimson.state.gov:25" So I'm wondering if anyone can interpret the technical significance of such an error for me. Predictable paint-by-numbers opinion blatherings by crazed and/or paid losers will be ignored. Doug

How to isolate/figure out whispers in audio clip?
by Douglas Lucas 10 Dec '21

10 Dec '21

Hey cypherpunks, I have an .MP4 clip of Joe Biden whispering to 13-year-old Maggie Coons before trying to kiss her: https://douglaslucas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/JoeBiden_ChrisCoon… The relevant portion of the clip begins at approx 1:05. Biden whispers: "By the way, if you want to know how important it is, being thirteen" and then I can't make out the rest, I think due to the loud camera shutter. Can anyone suggest an audio program (preferably for Linux) that can help isolate Biden's voice? Computery techniques I could use, or you could use, to help figure out what he's whispering? For reference, the event this clip is from took place on January 6, 2015, and the full video is here: https://www.c-span.org/video/?323601-1/senate-ceremonial-swearing-vice-pres… Doug

On “Count 2: Conspiracy to Commit Computer Intrusion,” in the superseding indictment against Asshat
by professor rat 10 Dec '21

10 Dec '21

After reading an eye-opening article yesterday by @Emptywheel, I’m finally beginning to understand the CFAA conspiracy charge against Julian Assange and I think it’s important that you do, too. It’s important so that we realize just how serious the indictment is, exactly what it entails, and that it’s not just about the government’s argument, “Assange helped Manning hack some stuff.” https://jimmysllama.com/2021/08/14/19216/
