Jim sez ". . . I've added two areas to the list above, nwlibertarians(a)teleport.com and dnowch2(a)teleport.com ; the areas on which "Assassination Politics" is commonly discussed. I've also sent a copy to Cypherpunks(a)toad.com, for its obviously ob crypto (encryption, digital cash, etc) aspects.. . " Like Rick Blaine, he came here for the code-is-law waters. Welcome to the desert of the real. Further on he channels vintage Mong . . . " . . we are coming to a fork in the road: One choice leads to perfect freedom, the other to absolute tyranny. . . . " No skin in the game yet. No KILL THE PRESIDENT! Nothing actionable. But its still early 1997. Cpunks are about to rise up and start living out the true meaning of its ( not-codecentric, technocratic and apolitical ) anarchist creed. This past is not dead - its not even past.

This case represents politically driven repression aimed at suppressing all forms of activism and dissent, in the style of Vladimir Putin. It should be of interest to anyone who is concerned about civil liberties such as the freedom to protest or the freedom to advocate against police brutality and authoritarianism or in favor of preserving the environment. https://anarchistnews.org/content/understanding-rico-charges-atlanta Reposts not attacks on the habitat necessitating a measured and proportional response

This highlights a problem for you Karl. Cos if its " undescribed " abuse you're always whining about, how do we know its " horrific "? Statements without evidence may be dismissed without examination. Yes? ( don't answer that! )

[ot] Fwd: NXIVM's Nancy Salzman released from federal prison

nxivm was a high profile [rape cult] involving celebrities that was busted some years ago, i don’t know much about it ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2023 09:33:39 -0400 Subject: NXIVM's Nancy Salzman released from federal prison NXIVM's Nancy Salzman released from federal prison Halfmoon woman known as "Prefect" released to halfway house after serving less than 20 months for 3 1/2 year sentence <https://www.timesunion.com/author/robert-gavin/> Times Union Robert Gavin Sep. 7, 2023 ALBANY — Former NXIVM president Nancy Salzman is out of federal prison less than 20 months into her 3½ year sentence for admitted crimes as Keith Raniere’s top deputy in the cult-like personal growth organization. The 69-year-old Salzman, formerly of Halfmoon, was expected to be relocated Thursday to a halfway house in Albany, according to a letter from the federal Bureau of Prisons sent to NXIVM victims that was obtained by the Times Union. In September 2021, Senior U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis sentenced Salzman to the prison term and fined her $150,000 based on her earlier guilty plea to racketeering conspiracy. Salzman reported to federal prison in February 2022. As recently as this week, the Bureau of Prison’s website listed Salzman as an inmate in a federal lockup in Hazelton, W.Va. Her release date had been listed as July 2, 2024. On Thursday, the website updated Salzman’s status to say she was “not in BOP custody.” Salzman’s new release date was listed as June 17, 2024. In mid-July, federal court filings showed Salzman was scheduled to be released to a halfway house under the 2018 First Step Act, which allows federal inmates to request compassionate release after they exhaust administrative requests through the prison system. On Thursday afternoon, a woman working at the halfway house where Salzman is expected to be living tersely told the Times Union that Salzman was not there, and asked a reporter to leave. A native of Cranford, N.J., who had worked as a nurse, Salzman co-founded NXIVM and its Executive Success Programs with Raniere in 1998. Over the next two decades, she served as president of the secretive Colonie-based organization as it added locations in Mexico, Canada, Los Angeles, the Pacific Northwest and Europe. Visitors to NXIVM’s headquarters on New Karner Road in Colonie were greeted by photos of Salzman, known as “Prefect,” and Raniere, known as “Vanguard.” While Salzman held the position of president, Raniere was NXIVM’s unquestioned leader. She preached the teachings of Raniere, who she had for a period been romantically involved with, to NXIVM students — even passing along his claims that children are “perfectly happy” having sex with adults and that women experience “freedom” during rape. Salzman instructed NXIVM members that anyone challenging Raniere or NXIVM, including family members and friends, were “suppressives” to be avoided. Former NXIVM insiders have described Salzman as Raniere’s enforcer but also a victim of his cruelty and manipulation. She was not involved in Raniere’s secret “master/slave” group, Dominus Obsequious Sororium (DOS), which ultimately led federal prosecutors in Brooklyn to charge Raniere. In 2018, Salzman was among six NXIVM defendants, including Raniere, charged in a sweeping racketeering indictment. All but Raniere pleaded guilty. In June 2019, jurors convicted Raniere on all counts of sex trafficking, forced labor conspiracy, wire fraud conspiracy and racketeering counts with underling acts of extortion, identity theft and possession of child pornography. Raniere, 63, is serving a 120-year prison sentence in Tucson, Ariz. Salzman, the first defendant to plead guilty, admitted she doctored tapes that were evidence in a lawsuit in which NXIVM had sued cult expert Rick Ross and faced counterclaims. Salzman admitted she conspired to commit identity theft when she tried to obtain names and passwords of email accounts of NXIVM’s perceived enemies, information kept in files kept in the basement of her upscale Oregon Trail home. Salzman’s daughter, Lauren Salzman, a former high-ranking member of NXIVM and DOS, pleaded guilty to racketeering and racketeering conspiracy charges. Lauren Salzman, a star witness for prosecutors, received five years of probation. Also pleading guilty were actress Allison Mack, who pleaded to racketeering and racketeering conspiracy and provided information for prosecutors; Seagrams heiress Clare Bronfman, who pleaded to conspiring to conceal and harbor undocumented immigrants for financial gain, and fraudulent use of identification; and NXIVM bookkeeper Kathy Russell, who pleaded to visa fraud. Salzman is the second defendant to be released from prison. Mack was released in early July. Bronfman, who has remained staunchly loyal to Raniere, is expected to be released in June 2025. Salzman offered an account of her actions and what she portrayed as her ultimate recognition of Raniere's corruption in a series of interviews in the second season of HBO's NXIVM documentary series "The Vow."

Decentralization Advocate Chris Blec drew a distinction between privacy and control, asserting that the privacy gained by Privacy Pool users would come at the expense of losing control. Blec went on to pan Buterin’s proposal as an attempt to “appease the tyrants,” and in doing so, he was “throwing Tornado devs under the bus.” Am I blue Bitcoin Developer Matt Corallo described Privacy Pools as “absolutely awful,” explaining that the concept contradicts cryptocurrency’s ideals, specifically in developing automated censorship tools.
