Re: Even some Russians appreciate my AP essay.

AP currently has a different general meaning - ie " Associated Press " so Bell is open to attack as grandiose for persisting in its use at the present juncture. Never mind AP - like the rest of corpse media are in the process of being buried. But even if the next Sanjuro - or the next CJ - or the next me - succeeds in sending it viral I will argue for ' APster ' as the best name for it. Fuck turning anyone like ' natural rights ' Bell into some world historical figure for a joke! The gist of his idea is the Tontine and as old as trad anarchism which also practiced assassination. Then Mongo knew assassination markets came with the territory and even grew the balls to use one here once - against Paul Wolfowitz in 2003 - better late than never for the bold revolutionary leader ( ahem ) There is much that is original and good in Bells screed - unfortunately that which is good is not original and that which is original is not good. APster - the term - was being used here before I arrived and of course ' Dead Lucky ' was old by then. ( Shame we still haven't gotten lucky with Bill Gates yet. ) APster, for want of a better term, is good. APster works. APster cuts through clarifies and captures the democratized anarchist revolutionist spirit. I commend it to youse and close with the immortal words of Oscar Wilde... All advice is bad - and good advice is fatal

Graymail with fries

Graymail is working so well for Josh Shulte and some of the Capitol crowd that I will hold my nose and recommend it for Camp Assange. ZoeTillman · Mar 19 The judge handling Jan. 6 defendant Couy Griffin's bench trial will let the defense question a Secret Service agent about VP Pence's location, over the govt's objection. If the govt doesn't like it, they can always drop the charge, he adds in a footnote.

[spam][wrong][personal] Eternum.io

I had some files pinned on ipfs I was trying to email to a member of this list. It turns out my pinning service is no longer providing them (eternum.io). The website says to me that they "are tired of running this service". It sounded frustrating. This is confusing to me. I would have liked notice of this to my email, so I could have downloaded them to retain them elsewhere, before they became unavailable. The files were at https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmdFVjYwgeuUpw83hBB74Wy4js8SrmmNxt8U2MkdRA2f7m/ and loaded fine a few weeks ago.

Biggest Nazi propagandist since Julius Streicher

Israel Shamir https://www.unz.com/ishamir/the-long-captivity-of-julian-assange/ If you say you don't like Nazi's then you can't logically support Wikileaks. Zeynep A-hole may have found a way to do this here - but then she's Batshit-Crazy.

Even some Russians appreciate my AP essay.
by professor rat 21 Mar '22

If by ' appreciate ' you mean get it wrong. " ... Let me emphasize once again that all “donors” are anonymous.. . " Russian whose never heard of CJ's ' Dead Lucky ' or read Part 10 of Assassination Politics. " . . . I'm not suggesting that EVERYONE would be identified. The "donors" to the system would remain perfectly anonymous, and the "guessers" would likewise be perfectly anonymous, but the organization itself would be made up of real people, who have published addresses, who have simply decided that they have had enough of the current system and are going to participate in a PERFECTLY LEGAL enterprise by the laws of the country, and just DARE the government to try to stop them. . .

Just on the subject of APster
by professor rat 21 Mar '22

21 Mar '22

I remain platform-agnostic as to whether privatized ' Black-Box APster " kicks off the full global cryptoanarchist revolution or public-choice ' Soft Drilling ' does the trick. The main point is it goes viral asap so ' Everyone an assassin ' joins ' Everyone a remailer ", Everyone a Mint ". And then we can nut out the non-trivial, NP-hard problem of True Names guided by the cypherpunk approach of ' privacy for the poor and transparency for the powerful '. Yes?

Why is Zelensky Wearing The Nazi Iron Cross?
by zeynepaydogan 21 Mar '22

Why is Zelensky Wearing The Nazi Iron cross? So its actually kind of weird… Zelensky openly wears the nazi iron cross on his t-shirt and the world thinks he is a super-hero. It kind of reminds me of a time the world thought Hitler was a nice man. https://twitter.com/zelenskyyua/status/1500472014452273157?s=21

Wikipedia preceded Wikileaks

" . . . We should also strengthen our zero tolerance policies, which we already have in place against stuff like nationalist editing, as well as our policy of No Nazis. . . " >From a Wikipedia editor. Any informal cypherpunks moderation might build on these two approaches. " Nationalism " could cover anyone assuming state-legitimacy as something all pervading for all time. " Gunnar Larsson " appears to suffer from this malady. Then " No Nazi's would cover any antisemitic list trolls that persist in any hateful, religious bigotry against Jews. Take Batshit-Crazy - please. Repeat offenders after being warned might then be doxxed, ddossed and destroyed. Yes? " Cypherpunks are all about privacy for the poor and transparency for the powerful " Wikipedia founder, sorry, Wikileaks founder, recently.
