New Yorker lies about Shulte and Wikileaks
by professor rat 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

There is plenty to condemn both Joshua Shulte and post 2009 - Wikileaks without making shit up. " . . .But WikiLeaks had also shown, quite recently, a willingness to be a mouthpiece for foreign intelligence services: in 2016, the site had released e-mails from the Democratic National Committee which had been stolen by hackers working on behalf of the Kremlin. . . ." Sez the New Yorker quite recently. But did 2010 Wikileaks just go down the Memory Hole? https://reason.com/2011/02/03/julian-assange-and-israel-sham/ " . . .He travelled on to Belarus, ruled by the Soviet-style dictator Alexander Lukashenko, where he met regime officials. The Russian Interfax news agency reported that Shamir was WikiLeaks’ “Russian representative”, and had “confirmed the existence of the Belarus dossier”. According to him, WikiLeaks had several thousand “interesting” secret documents. Shamir then wrote a piece of grovelling pro-Lukashenko propaganda in Counterpunch . . ."

The old soft-drill
by professor rat 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

Despite the relentless quarter-century focus on ' Black Box ' assassination politics ( AP ) I still hold out great hopes for " Open Source " AP or " APster ". As I've said, some soft forms of this are already emerging - described as ' Gaslighting ', " Cancellation" and so on. Forms of erasure falling far short of physical killing. I have a running joke among fellow anarchs, who are still leery of reviving Propaganda of the Deed a century later, that at least many of them still go in for ' character assassination politics ". And one workaround for the skeptics has long been anticipated - the subject of any prediction mart simply takes the pool and disappears. So long as they might as well be dead then the contract is fulfilled and everyone's happy. I can imagine variations on that theme. Au used to have what were called ' Remittance Men ". These were Englishmen paid to stay away from England. Bottom line is nobody has to die - they just have to play this new game and accept this new system. " Play dead "

Scenes from the class struggle in Vermont
by professor rat 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

' . . .I'm in Vermont these few years, looking to get my truck back up and going to travel again. I'm in a small town with a mountain, a short drive away from a small city. Very wooded, tons of trees everywhere. I love trees. . ." That's very good, Karl. I feel we're making excellent progress now - not just locating your state, but also Juan's country ( Argentina landfill ) and Gramps, who comes from Texas ( amirite? ) I won't press you for more details at this juncture since I'm becoming more aware of communication problems in our highly unjust and unequal world. James Randi once commented that [ Edgar ] “Cayce was fond of expressions like ‘I feel that’ and ‘perhaps’—qualifying words used to avoid positive declarations.” I get that. The Anarchist News collective is also like that. I hope we can all get past that. Yrs in anarchist translucence - pr

Calls for a mistrial in CIA espionage frame-up
by professor rat 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

Juror's in the Joshua Shulte trial reportedly shared notes taken during proceedings. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/06/13/the-surreal-case-of-a-cia-hac… IANAL but normal jury instructions would seem to rule that out up front. Yes? " . . .there was no way for the C.I.A. to exact retribution against Schulte without, in the process, revealing a great deal of unflattering information about itself . . ." Such as its close sister-agency relationship with the NYT & Conde Nast

2005 Year Zero
by professor rat 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

2005 Year Zero " The Crypto Wars never happened " - Scumbag PR Keefe Keefe repeatedly cautions, whatever ‘they’ (officialdom) will let you know about their real capabilities is already ten years out of date; what you can dig up on your own is probably wildly exaggerated – but you can’t be sure. Whenever he gets close to ‘state of the art’ reporting, his sources worry about exposing their potential profit-margin as much as breaching security. But that’s his next book, perhaps. (He also gives the impression he worried about being responsible with what he revealed.) https://www.amazon.com.au/Chatter-Dispatches-Secret-Global-Eavesdropping/dp…

PR Keefe needs killing ( My 200 sats )
by professor rat 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

This Royal scumbag was a policy adviser in the Office of the Secretary of Defense between 2010 and 2011 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Radden_Keefe Before Jim Bell went to prison, he suspected that most government officials were corrupt. Three years behind bars later, the self-proclaimed Internet anarchist is sure of it. After Bell, a cypherpunk who the United States government dubbed a techno-terrorist, is released Friday at 10 a.m. PDT, he plans to exact revenge on the system that imprisoned him. "If they continue to work for the government, they deserve it. My suggestion to these people is to quit now and hope for mercy,"

Semiconductor bill unites Sanders, the right — in opposition
by professor rat 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

With the schwerpunkt of global hegemon status shifting so decisively away from the US to the net its not just time for the US to create a brand new " Hands Off the Web ' doctrine, but officially recognize the " Internet Century ", Crypto-anarchist, crypto-munitions as a WMD and all cypherpunk list contributors as non-state terrorists and bad-ass perpetrators. Seems the least they can do, short of fulfill my surrender terms I last updated a few years ago. ( End Drug War, Bring back PAM the Terminatrix and recognize " APster ' as reason for those two key policy shifts. " Surrender Dorothy Denning " basically )
