US nazi vaccine murderers admit to having murderer more than 10,000 people. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.ht… "10,688 reports of death among people who received a covaids vaccine." I guess this sheds new light on the moral nature of pieces of non human shit like jim bell.

Wall Street Banks Have an Alibi for their $11.23 Trillion in Emergency Repo Loans from the Fed – It’s a Doozy
by Gunnar Larson 06 Jan '22

>From September 17, 2019 through July 2, 2020, the trading units of the Wall Street megabanks (both domestic and foreign) took a cumulative total of $11.23 trillion in emergency repo loans from the Federal Reserve. The loans were conducted by one of the 12 regional Fed banks, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York – which is literally owned by megabanks <https://wallstreetonparade.com/2019/11/these-are-the-banks-that-own-the-new…>, including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and others. https://wallstreetonparade.com/2022/01/wall-street-banks-have-an-alibi-for-… -- *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

[spam][crazy] How a Hobbyist Might Start Building Shielded Rooms
by k 06 Jan '22

06 Jan '22

step 1: be able to measure shielding effectiveness This takes two radios: an emitter and receiver . It also takes a variety of antenna to handle various frequencies and modes. There are a number of formal guides (commercial and military specs) for how to do this, which are a good starting point but leave some things out. Basically, you measure signals under identical conditions both with and without the shielding. This gives a metric of attenuation for the exact signals and locations measured.

NBC News: Julian Assange: Mexico president renews asylum offer for WikiLeaks founder. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/julian-assange-mexico-president-renews-a… Jan. 4, 2022, 7:29 AM EST / Updated Jan. 4, 2022, 7:44 AM ESTBy Reuters MEXICO CITY — Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said he had sought a pardon for Julian Assange from former President Donald Trump before he left office last year and repeated his offer of asylum for the Wikileaks founder on Monday. Last month, the Australian-born Assange moved closer to facing criminal charges in the United States for one of the biggest leaks of classified information after Washington won an appeal over his extradition in an English court. U.S. authorities accuse Assange of 18 counts relating to WikiLeaks’ release of confidential U.S. military records and diplomatic cables which they said had put lives in danger.If granted asylum in Mexico, Julian Assange would not be able to interfere in the affairs of other countries, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said.Peter Nicholls / Reuters file López Obrador reiterated the asylum offer he had made for Assange a year ago, and said that before Trump was replaced as President by Joe Biden last January, he had written him a letter recommending that Assange be pardoned. Mexico did not receive a reply to the letter, López Obrador told a regular government news conference. “It would be a sign of solidarity, of fraternity to allow him asylum in the country that Assange decides to live in, including Mexico,” López Obrador said.

The Daily Beast: Encrypted Phone Company Was Secretly Commandeered by FBI to Track Criminals' GPS Data. https://www.thedailybeast.com/fbi-secretly-harvested-criminals-gps-data-usi… "An undercover FBI operation that gained backdoor access to the encrypted phones of suspected criminals across the world also allowed the agency to collect information on users’ locations, according to a new report by VICE. Harvested from Anom, a phone service used largely by criminals, the GPS data was then passed on by the FBI to other authorities. One document obtained by VICE purported to show the location of an alleged drug trafficker’s phone, recorded when the person sent a message across the Anom platform. The outlet reported that it was not possible to disable location services, and that users would not have known that their GPS data was being collected. The FBI declined to comment to VICE. It was previously reported that the efforts of the agency’s joint sting operation, also involving Australian law enforcement and Europol, had recorded the messages sent by Anom users. The operation has so far led to hundreds of arrests globally.

Surveillance-states money
by professor rat 06 Jan '22

06 Jan '22

With pandemics offsets may be sought for associated loss of human and civil rights. Surveillance state money is another matter entirely. Because this new technology is so pervasive and so threatening in the hand of genocidal state terrorists the only offset in this case is totally liquidation of all earthly powers. As it happens this is the anarchists minimum program so - welcome to the revolution!

New Law Will Install Kill Switches In All New Cars

New Law Will Install Kill Switches In All New Cars https://autos.yahoo.com/law-install-kill-switches-cars-170000930.html "Once again, drivers get screwed by politicians in DC… Back in 1998, sci-fi TV series The X-Files aired an episode called “Kill Switch” about an AI gone rogue. Told when the internet was still accessed by most using dial-up modems, it was a fascinating tale of technology run amuck, a message about not handing too much of your life over to the digital world. While it might also seem like a sci-fi tale, soon enough the United States federal government could force automakers to install kill switches authorities can access and use to shut down any newer vehicle." End of quote. Jim Bell's comment: Now, I wonder which idiot will criticize me for posting this, perhaps saying I'm 'posting Pentagon propaganda', or claiming I am 'advocating' this technology.

[spam][crazy] Diagnosing an Explosive Failure
by k 06 Jan '22

# build vmem-wip of mimalloc git clone https://github.com/xloem/mimalloc mkdir mimalloc/build cd mimalloc/build cmake .. make -j cd ../.. # use it to build pytorch git clone https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch cd pytorch LD_PRELOAD=../../mimalloc/build/libmimalloc.so VMEM_PREFIX=vmem python3 setup.py build I've tried the above just about two or three times on a raspberry pi running ubuntu 64. When I do, a SIGKILL is sent ijmmediately to all running processes. My PTYs close. GDM restarts its session. Quite surprising that a software bug run by a non-root user would cause that. I'm still presently pretty inhibited around root-process and live-kernel debugging, so my approach would be to narrow down the build process and the code executed using manual bisection of source lines. The likely culprit is the addition of libseccomp to the code, as a stop-gap to prevent the use of fork() corrupting memory: + // disable fork and clone, which would write to the same vmem file + void * fctx = seccomp_init(SCMP_ACT_ALLOW); + if (fctx) { + seccomp_rule_add(fctx, SCMP_ACT_ERRNO(ENOMEM), SCMP_SYS(fork), 0); + seccomp_rule_add(fctx, SCMP_ACT_ERRNO(ENOMEM), SCMP_SYS(clone), 0); + seccomp_load(fctx); + seccomp_release(fctx); + } I'm not sure if the disabling of clone() is actually needed as well, I just saw somewhere they were similar similar calls. The explosive error doesn't happen on the small test case I wrote. Only on the large build. I may not debug this immediately as I have other things going on today, but it seemed pleasant I guess to add it to the list. It's not often you encounter a software bug that resets your entire system interface.

Repurposing a Familiar Drug for COVID-19 | Harvard Medical School
by jim bell 05 Jan '22

https://hms.harvard.edu/news/repurposing-familiar-drug-covid-19 Disulfiram "This article is part of Harvard Medical School’s continuing coverage of medicine, biomedical research, medical education, and policy related to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the disease COVID-19. "For the past year and a half, the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to engulf the globe, fueled in part by novel variants and the uneven distribution of vaccines. Every day, hundreds of thousands of new COVID-19 cases and thousands of new deaths are still being reported worldwide, creating a need for drugs that can combat the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. "Now, new research led by investigators at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children’s Hospital points to a well-known and widely available drug called disulfiram (marketed as Antabuse) as a possible treatment for COVID-19 "In the retrospective study, published Oct. 28 in PLOS ONE, patients taking disulfiram for alcoholism were less likely to become infected with SARS-CoV-2, and those who did get infected were less likely to die from COVID-19 than those not taking the drug. "The researchers caution that since the study was observational, it cannot establish a cause-and-effect link between disulfiram and disease development. However, they say, the results are encouraging enough to warrant further study and clinical testing. "The precise mechanism of the drug against SARS-CoV-2 is not yet known, but researchers have hypothesized that it may prevent the virus from taking hold by interfering with an enzyme it requires to replicate. "Additionally, disulfiram may blunt the symptoms of severe COVID-19 by inhibiting a protein involved in hyperinflammation. If disulfiram’s effect against SARS-CoV-2 is confirmed, it could become a useful tool against the virus. A pandemic pivot "In spring 2020, SARS-CoV-2 was rapidly spreading across the world, and it was quickly becoming apparent that the most severe—and deadly—symptoms of COVID-19 are caused by an intense inflammatory response to the virus.
