The Verge: Elon Musk says Starlink internet service will be ‘fully mobile’ in 2021. https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/16/22388378/elon-musk-starlink-satellite-in… Jim Bell's comment: I imagine, and hope, that this news will signal the ability of the Starlink system to be used by people in "freedom-hostile" nations. But, that may depend on how this is implemented. Can anyone buy a dish and use it anywhere on Earth? Without regard to political boundaries?

Government doesn't protect me from the terrorists
by professor rat 26 May '22

26 May '22

Government ARE the terrorists Cypherpunks, some high-tech libertarians, and various others think crypto-anarchist technology will eliminate the need for government ( then outright eliminate government.) Convicted tax evader Jim Bell proposes a system of anonymous ecash awards for the murder of “aggressors”, such as IRS agents. See also ‘Crypto-Convict Won’t Recant’. This system, going viral, would quickly force all governments to operate secretly rather than openly. I heartily accept the motto, "That government is best which governs least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe- "That government is best which governs not at all"

Why starlink has still not yet allowed anonymous crypto prepaid accounts
by professor rat 26 May '22

26 May '22

Hazarding a guess I would say Mollusk is set on Brinworld solutions and we all just saw that confirmed in his Twitter machinations. He's now making Zuckface look respectable! I don't have to point out the earth-bound dangers of such a foolish policy since this list has been analyzing them for decades now. States like fascist Russia, China and Iran must regard the Mollusk as a Godsend. What's new and adds an ever growing danger is the threat from potentially hostile aliens. The further out into space we go the more crypto-anarchist infrastructure we'll need. Hypothetically its not difficult to imagine an advanced civilization, or federation, condemning us all on the basis of one human individual raping a wilderness planet for no good reason. The longer Mollusk ( and the NASA too btw ) carry on planning to violate the Prime Directive the more danger we are all exposed to. Fuck that for a joke - all wannabe Mars colonists have earned killing.

Terra Common Litigation Fund Prompts ‘Red Flags’ Warning
by Gunnar Larson 26 May '22

26 May '22

Check out my new article: https://litigationfinancejournal.com/terra-common-litigation-fund-prompts-r… Terra Common Litigation Fund Prompts ‘Red Flags’ Warning Crypto markets are suffering in the wake of the Terra UST stablecoin’s collapse, which came after losing its $1.00 peg. In the process, over $60B in value was wiped out, leaving token holders confused over what might have happened to the algorithms meant to safeguard the Terra community from such a devastating loss. A common litigation fund has been organized, but many are worried about certain red flags associated with the fund’s launch. CryptoSlate reports <https://cryptoslate.com/terra-community-litigation-funds-details-raise-red-…> that the social aspects behind Terra’s demise are ‘catastrophic.’ A compensation fund has been organized as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). Donors can donate to the fund, and in doing so, gain voting and other administrative rights to decision making functions. Those concerned with the lack of regulation of cryptocurrencies claim they see red flags associated with the fund, however not much in the way of specifics have been delivered, and thus far no guidance from regulators or attorneys has been issued.

Calls for three illegal drone assassinations
by professor rat 26 May '22

26 May '22

Anwar al-Awlaki was an American who pushed his first amendment rights in a similar way to Tucker Carlson, Elise Stefanik and Marjorie-Taylor-Greene. " If you help or harbor the terrorist we will treat you as a terrorist " Al-Awlaki became the first U.S. citizen to be targeted and killed by a U.S. drone strike without the rights of due process being afforded. Civil liberties advocates have described the incident as "an extrajudicial execution" that breached al-Awlaki's constitutional right to due process, including a trial.
