Russia’s Conspiracy-Theory Factory Is Swaying a Brand-New Audience

Interesting story I noticed a self-described cypherpunk link to RT just recently. Wanted criminal and scumbag liar, Ryan Lackey " Octal at Twitter dotcom " The perp is slated to speak at a so-called ' crypto-anarchist institute ' this month. Sorta like an ' Anarcopulco " in Prague going by their ' Hackers ' conflab. Gym might back me up on this since he was there a few years ago and probably recognizes Lackey from the original circle-of-eunuchs.

Why's the CIA's David Shedd texting me out of the blue?
by Douglas Lucas 01 Sep '22

01 Sep '22

Hey cypherpunks, I have a new blog post today titled _Why's the CIA's David Shedd texting me out of the blue?_ Shedd met with Obama about continuing the agency's torture, but now he's on my phone with a deceptive note. Turns out there's been a new development in the story I covered of his censoring a 2018 Oxford Union panel on the very topic of whistleblowing. Here's the URL: https://douglaslucas.com/blog/2022/09/01/why-cia-david-shedd-messaging-me/ Here's the tweet in case you want to amplify it with a retweet etc: https://twitter.com/DouglasLucas/status/1565385507902988288 Unbeknownst to me when Shedd texted, there was that new development taking place, which is also discussed by censored panelist Heather Marsh today in a free-to-read-in-full Patreon entry. I link her post in mine, but if you want the URL here it's: https://www.patreon.com/posts/cia-and-oxford-71276469 Thanks everybody, Doug

“Obviously, I’m fully supportive of people’s need to comply with the regulators in whatever jurisdiction that they’re in. But if in whatever jurisdiction you’re in it happens to be impossible to simultaneously do that and be a good citizen of the Ethereum network then the honorable thing to do is to shut down. But I think also it’s a very correct comment from a purely legal standpoint that, as far as I can tell, we are very far away from that point.” https://dailyhodl.com/2022/08/31/vitalik-buterin-explains-how-ethereum-eth-… Cypherpunk hating, cryptoanarchist hating bitches leave
