Calls for three illegal drone assassinations

Anwar al-Awlaki was an American who pushed his first amendment rights in a similar way to Tucker Carlson, Elise Stefanik and Marjorie-Taylor-Greene. " If you help or harbor the terrorist we will treat you as a terrorist " Al-Awlaki became the first U.S. citizen to be targeted and killed by a U.S. drone strike without the rights of due process being afforded. Civil liberties advocates have described the incident as "an extrajudicial execution" that breached al-Awlaki's constitutional right to due process, including a trial.

Illegal drone incursions are rising and NovoQuad is here for your security

" Illegal drone incursions are rising and NovoQuad is here for your security https://share.newsbreak.com/15sghnxn "With the advancement of technology, drones have become more accessible to the public and there is a growing market for this industry. Drones are now used in many industries such as agriculture, construction, filmmaking, photography, and the real estate industry. "However, easy access to such technology also aggravates the possible threat of drones being used for malicious purposes. And, there have been instances in the past when rogue drones wreaked havoc in certain places after authorities failed to detect and neutralize them. "Back in 2018, the Gatwick airport in Britain, the second-busiest airport in the country, was shut down for 33 hours due to the illegal intrusion of two drones that the authorities were never able to find and neutralize. "The result, you ask? Simple, flying drones disrupted 1000 flights and affected the travel plans of about 140,000 people. The Present-Day Dilemma "The Gatwick incident is a stunning eye-opener as to why we need to have a durable and sturdy anti-drone technology in place to combat illegal drone incursions at public places. "Jammers are a fine way to combat such drones; they are available in both portable and stationary formats. When it comes to portability, jammers are designed into gun-like devices that can be used to detect and combat illegal drone

Twilight of the GovCorp Conspiracy Theorists

" . . . businesses are now subject to extensive geopolitical demands: 95 percent of respondents said that they expect companies to act in response to Russia’s unprovoked invasion by publicly speaking out, applying political and economic pressure or exiting the aggressor country’s market. “When businesses shut down in Russia they were not making that decision about Russia alone,” said Microsoft’s president, Brad Smith, who argues that withdrawal from Russia was a message to all authoritarian regimes, and an implicit acknowledgment that they may be forced to withdraw from other markets. . .

Spaceflight fools
by professor rat 26 May '22

26 May '22

Sorry, Spaceflight fuels. I just heard Fusion is being pushed back a few decades. Not even accounting for the singularity. But that's no matter - todays tried and tested systems will do for all the scientific exploring that's required. Anyone posturing about rocket fuels as some sort of ecological disaster probably needs psychiatric attention. They're like those rolled-gold frauds raving and ranting about Btc burning up oceans. In the spirit of accepting 'reinforcements from the future ' I suggest quantum-computing combined with strong AI will help us upload ourselves and that will, in turn, greatly assist the effort to spread out in this galaxy and colonize back-up and respawn-points in a sustainable and defensible manner. Gassing wilderness planets just so meatspace humanity can pollute new worlds is the losers play. An enders game. But youse knew that.

Re: Why starlink has still not yet allowed anonymous crypto prepaid accounts
by professor rat 26 May '22

26 May '22

Happy to stipulate Starlink is no worse than existing ISP's and even praise with faint damns some of the Mollusk's efforts in the realms of renewables, Ukraine, humping Heard, etc But none of that takes anything away from the clear and present danger represented by his proposed unmaskings on Twitter and his ruthless efforts to rape and despoil, virgin wilderness planets. The first will drag some of us back to the dark-ages of 2002 and the second - as I said - could get us all killed.

The Cryptography Mailing List and Reddit's " Cryptography "

" Coderpunks ' may have deceased about 20 years ago. Be aware the walking dead. The Bitcoin Whitepaper was first released on the cryptography mailing list run by computer security expert, Perry Metzger. https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptography/comments/9f8ov7/the_cryptography_mail… Metzger took up where Coderpunks left off and sites like his are where all the Pinhead Nerds belong.

Cypherpunks are not Coderpunks
by professor rat 26 May '22

26 May '22

Cypherpunks discuss crypto-anarchism - Coderpunks delve into technicals of how to deliver that ( or possible coding dangers ) Its like the difference between political-economy and municipal engineering. Occasional overlapping posts are inevitable - and provided in good-faith - essential. Regular streams of coding-related material here though must eventually be regarded as an attack. Especially when they continue after repeated warnings to cease and desist. I don't know why Karl Semich hates our anarchist freedoms. But the remedy is clear. And an APster DDoS is always final.

" . . . in April 1967, a group of anarchists led by the young Fritz Teufel were arrested with great fanfare for plotting to throw bombs at visiting US vice president Hubert Humphrey. . .
