Journalists Signal Group riddled with police-spies
by professor rat 31 Dec '22

31 Dec '22

As if Wicked-Licks wasn't bad enough . . . >>> A Signal group frequented, as Val describes it, by “some of the greatest journalists, some of the greatest activists, some of the greatest hackers, some of the greatest writers.” This was all true enough, though the “greatest hackers” in question numbered just half a dozen and would gradually turn out to be made up of FBI cooperators like Val himself — plus a few more exotic specimens, such as the US counter-intelligence operative . . . <<< https://barrettbrown.medium.com/the-barrett-brown-review-of-arts-and-letter… Reposts don' need no steenkin' journalist badges

Transparency for the powerful in Korea today - give the people what they want. >> Officers made an exception to the longstanding South Korean custom of protecting criminals' identities, after millions signed a petition demanding anonymity be lifted.

COINTELPRO agent Semich reported >>> I was thinking your posts looked a little similar to each other, including the approach to threading. Do you use a custom tool? <<< If there's ever a list consensus that my posts look so similar they amount to spam I would have to retire or else risk being hunted down, stalked, rendered alive and slowly tortured to death. Suicide in a word. But thanks for the heads-up that you may be considering making your posts look more similar to each other. It shows the deep, state-terrorist animus you have for all of us here on top of your govt job. And as for my custom tool, well, I save that for private sessions with the mothers hole you came out of. SEAR ' Blacks on Blonds ".

Automated assistance to post? You mean like when I thread my posts in a cordial, collegial, convivial and comradely way here? In the finest traditions of good-faith, low-noise and high-signal posting? Is that what you meant? You might try emulating some of that latter part.

Cryptocurrency: Smaller Nations Adopting
by professor rat 30 Dec '22

I've been to Fiji a few times and don't trust Rabuka. Militarist Rabuka overthrew a democratically elected administration. The best you could say about him at the moment is he saw off his fellow military dictator predecessor. But why are c-punks even discussing trad politics! Are we not anarchists!? And nationalist borders are not even road humps on the information superhighway. One thing I learned about Fiji was an innovative new system of land tenure where 99 year leasehold titles replaced most freehold ( private ) land title. Were anarchists to ever raise the land question again, I would recommend that we recognize leasehold and native title while ruthlessly eliminating all private land everywhere, especially ' national' land. First nations indigenous and natives land an exception to prove this anti-nationalist rule. Recognizing leases could save us a lot of long drawn out guerrilla war conflicts. Yr mileage may vary.

This list supports anonymity
by professor rat 30 Dec '22

It is also " all about privacy for the poor and transparency for the powerful " ( WL echoing moi a week later ) And this list supports reputations. A fool and their reputation capital are soon parted. Juan can only speculate why anyone would be foolish enough to attack this list/
