Journalism under fire
by professor rat 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

theguardian.com - Two journalists exposing Mexico’s corruption and drug violence murdered within one week Margarito Martínez Esquivel and José Luis Gamboa are the latest casualties in the world’s most dangerous country for reporters. And in related news the president of Mexico renewed his offer to host enemy of journalism, Julian Rand Paul Assmange in his shithole country. WikiLeaks hasn’t spread a word of support for the Hong Kong protesters or for ANY of the lands and countries oppressed by nowadays Chinese government, including Chinese citizens. They just highlight "ooh the US govt is supporting the protests!" http://www.wikileaks-forum.com/-wikileaks-related-news/23/no-comment-wikile…

Litigating Universal Cognitive Liberty
by Gunnar Larson 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

Check out my new article: Freedom of thought is recognized by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Interestingly,, cognitive liberty is not recognized as an international human right. Some want to change that, making the argument that humanity has the right to be free to think whatever they want (freedom of thought). The Ottawa Citizen reports <https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/military-leaders-saw-…> that the Canadian armed forces have launched ‘psychological operations’ as an experiment in government propaganda to counter civil disobedience. International human rights scholars are quick to point out that the lack of protection of cognitive liberty in such instances is due to the relative lack of technology capable of directly interfering with mental autonomy at the time the core human rights treaties were created. Similar to a ransomware attack, the technology behind such operations can be abused. Canada is said to have exploited advanced technologies without the authority to do so. Even worse, it is alleged that Canada forcefully abused technology in the unsanctioned production of reports that appeared to be aimed at cognitive activities of Canadians. - Other reports highlight similar technologies being explored by the New York City Police Department. - In 2021 <https://gothamist.com/news/city-settles-lawsuit-protesters-who-accused-nypd…>, members of the National Lawyers Guild won $650,000 in litigation financed fees from abuse of the technology in New York. The semantics empowering freedom of thought as a human right hold new opportunities for modern international recognition of the right to cognitive liberty. https://litigationfinancejournal.com/litigating-universal-cognitive-liberty… -- *Gunnar Larson - xNY.io <http://www.xNY.io> | Bank.org <http://Bank.org>* MSc <https://www.unic.ac.cy/blockchain/msc-digital-currency/?utm_source=Google&u…> - Digital Currency MBA <https://www.unic.ac.cy/business-administration-entrepreneurship-and-innovat…> - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) G(a)xNY.io +1-646-454-9107 New York, New York 10001

vaccine nazis and consent
by Punk-BatSoup-Stasi 2.0 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

It seems that the Emperors of TrumpoNazism, sorry, I mean the Libertarian Kings 'grarpamp' and bell do not understand the most basic elements of consent. So here are a couple : 1) consent and FRAUD are mutually exclusive. When people do something because they are being lied to, as in the case of taking covaids 'vaccines', they are not consenting to being poisoned. They are being manipulated into accepting poisons by means of lies and fraud. There is no consent in sight. 2) consent and EXTORTION are mutually exclusive. When people are fired from their jobs, put under house arrest, prevented from freely traveling or even entering a fucking bar, they are being victims of serious crimes, and are being EXTORTED when offered their freedoms back if they accept the poison. EXTORTION is the opposite of voluntarism. 3) "age of consent" is the sort of mental vomit that only the worst kind of statist totalitarian can pretend to defend. Consent is wholly depedent on what the agents want to do, not on their age.

Returning travellers made to hand over phones and passcodes to Australian Border Force

Returning travellers made to hand over phones and passcodes to Australian Border Force https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/18/returning-travellers-made-to-… "A man who was forced to hand over his phone and passcode to Australian Border Force after returning to Sydney from holiday has labelled the tactic “an absolute gross violation of privacy”, as tech advocates call for transparency and stronger privacy protections for people’s devices as they enter the country. "Software developer James and his partner returned from a 10-day holiday in Fiji earlier this month and were stopped by border force officials at Sydney airport. They were taken aside, and after emptying their suitcases, an official asked them to write their phone passcodes on a piece of paper, before taking their phones into another room. "It was half an hour before their phones were returned, and they were allowed to leave. James initially posted about his ordeal on Reddit. “We weren’t informed why they wanted to look at the phones. We were told nothing,” he told Guardian Australia. “Who knows what they’re taking out of it? With your phone and your passcode they have everything, access to your entire email history, saved passwords, banking, Medicare, myGov. There’s just so much scope.” (End of partial quote) Jim Bell's comment: Yet another good argument for a functional and easy-to-use AP system.

https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/2021-November/092989.html agent A vomited this lie : "65 million Americans who could be vaccinated, who are not, and that is more than enough human wood for this coronavirus forest fire to burn," agent B (the motherfucking turd bell) replied : "I blame, in large part, the people whose apparent timidity kept the vaccines away from kids under 18" Now, one has to be infinitely dishonest to deny the self-evident fact that bell is ADVOCATING AND PROMOTING an INCREASED use of US government poisons. The motehrfucking turd bell is not happy with the fact that the population over 18 is being poisoned, he wants to poison human beings under 18 too. And to top it off, according to bell's twin fellow turd 'grarpamp', this is all 'voluntary'. It must be especially 'voluntary' for 5 year olds.

Now, instead of arguing against the poison YOU ARE ARGUING FOR ITS WIDESPREAD USE. You are saying that your nazi government wasn't criminal enough for you, so you want it to remove any kind of retraint it has, including a rule protecting people under 18. you are the lowest form of scum on this list. > You seem to misinterpret everything.

Calls for a global color-revolution
by professor rat 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Any color you like - as long as its black-flag. Cryptoanarchism. Originally a theme within cypherpunk aesthetics, has colonized “ever wider areas,” according to Professor Rat, “until it has become the new horizon of our cultural, philosophical, and political experience.” “The growing conviction,” as he has it, “that traditional political-economy as we have known it…is now reaching its end.” He is not alone. I think that blockchains will replace armies for national defense, because a blockchain-based assassination market will be created…" Zach. CryptoGo To launch attacks under favorable circumstances is not only every anarchist revolutionary’s right, but their plain duty. The killing of spies, policemen, commissars, the blowing up of police stations, the liberation of prisoners, the seizure of government funds for the needs of the uprising—such operations are already being carried out wherever insurrection is rife.
