Hey there's an APP for that! APster - the original KILLER APP! Since 1996 there's been no excuse for not live-targeting a harmful CEO billionaire. https://stiffs.com/celebrity/billgates Its like, since 2017 there's been no excuse for being a Nocoiner here. Call yourself a cypherpunk? How about ACTING like one! If you can't walk-the-talk I'm gonna call you a time-wasting carpet-bagger. Like Gramps, Batshit, SomeItch, etc All gasbag - no action. Braindead losers. The Walking Dead.

Stop using Appelbaum
by professor rat 08 Aug '21

08 Aug '21

BURN NOTICE Jacob Appelbaum is dodging questions on Snowden material he sold to German corpse-media outlets. This makes him look as guilty as a bailjumping accused rapist. But even putting that to one side, ' Jake ' is still shilling for Wikileaks in general and Assmange in particular. That makes him a shill for the pentagon and their greatest war-crime since Vietnam. Absolutely fucking disgusting and completely unacceptable in all activist circles. Especially this one. Yrs in cypherpunk revolution - professor rat

Apple had already lost its personal data privacy policy.The question is, they already had access to people's data, and they just didn't want to explain it to people like that. What happened to “what happens on your iPhone stays on your iPhone”? ProtonMail mobil ile gönderildi

Hello! It is my turn to spam the list. I guess? Fake cypherpunk walks up to mailing list. "I am a cypherpunk! Here is a news article! You're a fucking government agent! The square root of PGP is RSA according to this wikipedia article! Here is a project I made at github.com! Open source the hackers' private keys, goddamn those martians!" No offense meant to anybody who is either a cypherpunk, or pretending to be one. I'm probably both of those myself, in some way or another. The next section is probably an attempt to make the list look like terrorism paired with an attempt to make things in community. This is what most people are doing, right? --- I want to make my own time machine! I understand most people have made one by now, but many other people still think they are impossible to build and those people are [crossed out: our slaves] [crossed out: in big trouble for how stupid they are] going to love it when we show them our awesome time machines. I've been classifying the responses of my millions of viewers using hive-cote 2 and forecasting them using fbprophet and I'm just about ready to backsolve in order to control their every move, but I know that when I do it will raise flags with everyone else's time machines when my new timeline doesn't include their machines any more. I was thinking, in the next upcoming time war, we could tie the timelines into a shape that says "please help me i'm trapped in the hyperefficient marketing algorithm my boss made out of my body" but I dunno, what do you think? _joking_ _joking_ I have no idea what i'm talking about, I just tried to write some software a little and a professor showed up in a phone booth, talking backwards about how I should stay off facebook or I might turn into a canine.

Some revolutionary software has been stolen by the last-empire, a military/industrial combine thats taking over the planet. Targeting dissidents and code rebels stormtroopers of the empire are similar to 1st generation OSD robocops, while high up positions in the empire have been favored by players in field tests, the survival and resistance tactics and strategy of the rebels win over longer term players as they delve into the multi-verse world of 2006.

PRO-Pentagon propaganda from a ' natural rights ' Nutcase

The Australian army took point in the illegal invasion of SW Asia in 2003. "... Mr Assange agreed that some level of privacy was necessary for the successful operation of the military ..." http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/drive/assange-i-can-rule-from-… JULIAN " ‘[The military] protects the sovereignty of Australia. It protects the independence of Australia.' ASSANGE July, 2013 It follows with a geometric logic that all supporters of Wikileaks post July 2013 are pro-5VEY, pro aggressive war and PRO-PENTAGON. Fascist warmongering filth. Fuck off!

Cryptocurrency: HavenoDEX, Stallman Taler v Monero, Govts Seize Crypto $Billions Every Year, MiamiCoin CBDC

"In fiscal year 2019, we had about $700,000 worth of crypto seizures. In 2020, it was up to $137 million. And so far in 2021, we're at $1.2 billion," said Jarod Koopman, director of the IRS' cybercrime unit. CNBC reports: As cybercrime picks up -- and the haul of digital tokens along with it -- government crypto coffers are expected to swell even further. Interviews with current and former federal agents and prosecutors suggest the U.S. has no plans to step back from its side hustle as a crypto broker. The crypto seizure and sale operation is growing so fast that the government just enlisted the help of the private sector to manage the storage and sales of its hoard of crypto tokens. [...] Once a case is closed and the crypto has been exchanged for fiat currency, the feds then divvy the spoils. The proceeds of the sale are typically deposited into one of two funds: The Treasury Forfeiture Fund or the Department of Justice Assets Forfeiture Fund. "The underlying investigative agency determines which fund the money goes to," said [Sharon Cohen Levin, who worked on the first Silk Road prosecution and spent 20 years as chief of the money laundering and asset forfeiture unit in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York]. Koopman said the crypto traced and seized by his team accounts for roughly 60% to 70% of the Treasury Forfeiture Fund, making it the largest individual contributor. Once placed into one of these two funds, the liquidated crypto can then be put toward a variety of line items. Congress, for example, can rescind the money and put that cash toward funding projects. "Agencies can put in requests to gain access to some of that money for funding of operations," said Koopman. "We're able to put in a request and say, "We're looking for additional licenses or additional gear,' and then that's reviewed by the Executive Office of Treasury." Some years, Koopman's team receives varying amounts based on the initiatives proposed. Other years, they get nothing because Congress will choose to rescind all the money out of the account. https://www.theregister.com/2021/08/03/russia_cybercrime_laws/
