DouglasLucas ·Jul 17 ( 2022! ) Part of the solution is reading rewarding stuff. I want to learn about international law, the European Union, and how concepts like dignity differ across cultures (for example Confucian ren). But I don't have people to talk about such things with. Knowledge makes me a freakshow.. . . " https://twitter.com/douglaslucas And there's MORE!

Si Giuseppe

Fanelli was a tall man with a kind and grave expression, a thick black beard and large black expressive eyes which flashed like lightning or took on the appearance of kindly compassion according to the sentiments which dominated him. His voice had a metallic tone and was susceptible to all the inflexions appropriate to what he was saying, passing rapidly from accents of anger and menace against tyrants and exploiters to take on those of suffering, regret and consolation when he spoke of the pains of the exploited, either as one who without suffering them himself understands them, or as one who through his altruistic feelings delights in presenting the ultra-revolutionary ideas of peace and fraternity. He spoke in French and Italian, but we could understand his expressive mimicry and follow his speech. — Anselmo Lorenzo, Spanish Anarchist

CNN Exclusive: FBI investigation determined Chinese-made Huawei equipment could disrupt US nuclear arsenal communications

CNN Exclusive: FBI investigation determined Chinese-made Huawei equipment could disrupt US nuclear arsenal communications https://share.newsbreak.com/1hlpc2u2 On paper, it looked like a fantastic deal. In 2017, the Chinese government was offering to spend $100 million to build an ornate Chinese garden at the National Arboretum in Washington DC. Complete with temples, pavilions and a 70-foot white pagoda, the project thrilled local officials, who hoped it would attract thousands of tourists every year. But when US counterintelligence officials began digging into the details, they found numerous red flags. The pagoda, they noted, would have been strategically placed on one of the highest points in Washington DC, just two miles from the US Capitol, a perfect spot for signals intelligence collection, multiple sources familiar with the episode told CNN. Also alarming was that Chinese officials wanted to build the pagoda with materials shipped to the US in diplomatic pouches, which US Customs officials are barred from examining, the sources said. Federal officials quietly killed the project before construction was underway. The canceled garden is part of a frenzy of counterintelligence activity by the FBI and other federal agencies focused on what career US security officials say has been a dramatic escalation of Chinese espionage on US soil over the past decade. Since at least 2017, federal officials have investigated Chinese land purchases near critical infrastructure, shut down a high-profile regional consulate believed by the US government to be a hotbed of Chinese spies and stonewalled what they saw as clear efforts to plant listening devices near sensitive military and government facilities. Among the most alarming things the FBI uncovered pertains to Chinese-made Huawei equipment atop cell towers near US military bases in the rural Midwest. According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, the FBI determined the equipment was capable of capturing and disrupting highly restricted Defense Department communications, including those used by US Strategic Command, which oversees the country’s nuclear weapons.

That Semich Dick

When Semich associates me with govt criminals and bullies it just shows how much he hates anarchism. All of that aside from his self-described annoying spam that sometimes resembles a DDoS attack only its centralized somewhere in the Great Satan ( Where exactly!? ) Gramps and his political BFF, Juan seem to be able to cut down now and then. Maybe they don't entirely hate cryptoanarchy the way KKK Semich does. Stupid bigotry and lies, thy name is Karl Semich - go die.

The grandiose ' World Historical ' cypherpunk type
by professor rat 25 Jul '22

25 Jul '22

Some of Chaum's rank bs sounds horribly familiar. Oh yeah. We once had a self described ' cypherpunk revolutionary ' right here who tried to convince the world he was a ' Founding Father ' and brayed about all the repression he might have suffered before he opted for corpse-media, govt-approved and registered journalism. ASFAIK both Mange and Chaum still have yet to recognize cypherpunk list contributors suffered actual physical police repression from 95 - 2003. And cypherpunk list activities were cited at documented trials in the US and Australia. Cypherpunk list contributors were jailed - one for over a decade! Carpetbaggers, pretenders, fakes and frauds jest at scars that never felt the wound. But they will feel some real wounds very soon, I promise you. Cheats never prosper.

CHAUM TSTBAALAA

David Chaum is too stupid to be an activist, let alone anything anarchist. Who will choose Athenian democracy ( associated with sexism, pederasty and slavery! ) when they already enjoy anarchism? And what moron is still falling for that Quantum ' Judgement Day ' FUD! Jesus Fucking Christ. Sit down Chaum, you're a bloody tragedy.

Chaumian democracy can't compete with cryptoanarchy

For starter's he's poorly informed if he believes " The Chinese government has introduced the digital yuan to get a panopticon-style view of every last payment. . . " Since that same fascist dictatorship has allowed for regulatory arbitrage with other centralized govt shitcoins. They will allow smaller transactions to pass through virtually anonymized and are so - like the USG - not up to snuff in the full-blown-fascism totalitarian stakes. No one is. See if all the present worlds govts, religions and corporations combined tomorrow they could not get a panopticon-style view of all payments. And every year they get weaker and we get stronger. You should know the truth for the truth will set youse free.
