Hope that's not the same general that praised the Collins Class submarine. Or that one who said ' Our God is bigger than their God "

US general says Elon Musk's Starlink has 'totally destroyed Putin's information campaign' https://share.newsbreak.com/1e7p372p - US Brigadier General Steven Butow said Starlink has "destroyed Putin's information campaign." - The internet service helped organize attacks and kept soldiers in touch with family, per Politico. - SpaceX CEO Elon Musk sent over the first Starlink terminals within days of Russia's invasion. Starlink, the satellite-internet service from SpaceX, has been crucial part of Ukraine's defense against Russia, according to a US official and Ukrainian military members.From sending coordinates for artillery strikes against Russia to broadcasting Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's speeches across the world, US Brigadier General Steven Butow told Politico that SpaceX's Starlink services have been indispensable to the Ukrainian military. The general has worked closely with SpaceX as the director of the space portfolio at the defense innovation unit. "The strategic impact is, it totally destroyed [Vladimir] Putin's information campaign," Butow told the publication. "He never, to this day, has been able to silence Zelenskyy." Starlink's capabilities are put to the test on a daily basis by Ukrainian soldiers. Politico reported that the satellite dish is used to plan missions and fight misinformation from Russia, as well as keep soldiers in touch with their family and provide a source of leisure activity during down times.

" . . . just a week after Hutchinson’s public testimony against Trump and Meadows, Fulton County Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis has subpoenaed everyone in Trump world who was reportedly involved in the Georgia election tampering – except Trump and Meadows. Willis has subpoenaed Lindsey Graham, Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, and others to testify to the grand jury. . . ." Palmer Report Lindsey Graham famously called Georgia requesting the president be assassinated. " The government is the great, the omnipotent teacher " ( Louis Brandeis )

This is probably key to the success of Cypherpunk 2027 - and will certainly assist in the APstering of all known sex-assault merchants and rapists. ACID, Amnesty and Abortion - hallowed be thy names. And DEATH to the Patriarchy! Viva la revolution.

NIST is primarily looking to diversify its signature portfolio, so signature schemes that are not based on structured lattices are of greatest interest. NIST would like submissions for signature schemes that have short signatures and fast verification (e.g., UOV). Submissions in response to this call will be due by June 1, 2023. Submitters are encouraged to communicate with NIST ahead of time. NIST will decide which (if any) of the submitted signature algorithms to accept and will initiate a new process for evaluation. NIST expects this process to be much smaller in scope than the current PQC process. The signature schemes accepted to this process will need to be thoroughly analyzed, which will similarly take several years. > > > > > > NIST would like to thank the community and all of the submission teams for their efforts in this standardization process and hopes that the teams whose schemes were not selected to advance will continue to participate by evaluating and analyzing the remaining cryptosystems alongside the cryptographic community at large.
