Stewart McLaurin, President of the White House Historical Association, hosts a special episode of the White House 1600 Sessions podcast dedicated to the 160th anniversary of that fateful night when an assassin’s bullet caused a mortal wound that would take President Lincoln’s life the following morning. Stewart is joined by Paul R. Tetreault, Director of Ford’s Theatre, who guides us through the events of that April evening. Then Stewart is joined by Anthea M. Hartig, Elizabeth MacMillan Director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, who shares some unique objects in the museum’s archives from that night. Join us as we honor and remember Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States. https://www.whitehousehistory.org/the-white-house-1600-sessions/remembering… <https://www.whitehousehistory.org/the-white-house-1600-sessions/remembering…>*

Cypherpunk - Wikipedia
by Gunnar Larson 23 Apr '25

23 Apr '25

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypherpunk Not to be confused with Cyberpunk. A cypherpunk is one who advocates the widespread use of strong cryptography and privacy-enhancing technologies as a means of effecting social and political change. The cypherpunk movement originated in the late 1980s and gained traction with the establishment of the "Cypherpunks" electronic mailing list in 1992, where informal groups of activists, technologists, and cryptographers discussed strategies to enhance individual privacy and resist state or corporate surveillance. Deeply libertarian in philosophy, the movement is rooted in principles of decentralization, individual autonomy, and freedom from centralized authority.[1][2] Its influence on society extends to the development of technologies that have reshaped global finance, communication, and privacy practices, such as the creation of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which embody cypherpunk ideals of decentralized and censorship-resistant money.
