Like Jim Epstein at REASON ( !) Alex Gladstein is taking diabolical liberties with the c-punk narrative trying to elevate Paultard non-entities at the expense of anarchist revolutionaries. Gladstein is more dangerous in that he's part of a Human Rights outfit with a few solid credentials behind it. Of course we don't know yet how they'll all feel about being turned into a right-wing stink-tank and marching in lock step with Pinker, Thiel and Brin . . . Any C-punk not paying strict attention to these crude attempts at colonizing, carpetbagging and completely corrupting our story may be too stupid to be an activist - let alone any kind of anarchist.

Alex Gladstein needs killing ( My 200$ )

In 1999, Back finished his Ph.D. in distributed systems and began work in Canada for a company called Zero Knowledge Systems. There, he helped build the Freedom Network, a tool that allowed individuals to browse the web privately. Back and his colleagues used what are known as “zero-knowledge proofs” (based on Chaum’s blind signatures) to encrypt communications over this network, and sold access to the service. Back, as it turns out, was also ahead of his time on this key innovation. In 2002, computer scientists improved on Zero Knowledge System’s model by taking a U.S. government private web browsing project called “onion routing” open source. They called it the Tor Network, and it inspired the age of the virtual-private networks (VPNs). It remains the gold standard for private web browsing today…" OR In 1995, Bell finished his essay in distributed systems and began work in Cypherpunks for a company called Soft Drill Apster Systems. There, he helped build the Freedom Network, a tool that allowed individuals to predate the web publically. Bell and his colleagues used what are known as “open-source propaganda-of-the-deed” (based on anarchists signature, direct-action) to value-add communications over this network, and increase access to the service. Bell, as it turns out, was also ahead of his time on this key innovation. In 2003, pentagon paid computer scientists improved on this Networked anarchists System’s model by taking a U.S. government private web bounty project called “Future Maps” open source. They called it the PAM Network, and it inspired the age of the public bounty hunter. It remains the gold standard for anti-social crime minimization today.

With practically all stocks rising in the crypto-currency markets I found this interesting article. https://dailyhodl.com/2021/10/16/crypto-traders-most-bullish-on-polkadot-so… "... the participants are not necessarily holding the cryptocurrencies that they voted for. “They can of course vote according to their own positions, but also just based on their sentiment or forward looking. There are many reasons why the own book might not be 1:1 the preferred allocation.” Bitcoin (BTC) is conspicuously absent from the list. Pal highlights that the community is responsible for that absence. “It’s not us – it’s the community who makes the allocation . . ." This could be the death of God ( Big Dog ) And not a moment too soon!

" . . . most of the Trumper's think Assange is a good guy. I would have loved to see a documentary ( I like outdated documentaries like the War at Home, Battle of Chile and The Revolution will not be Televised ) made on how Roger Stone and Randy Credico tried to get pardons for Assange ( on 4 occasions after receiving much praise from Trump during the campaign) . . .

Now they're re-writing the c-punk narrative

Its worth repeating a few home truths. https://web.archive.org/web/20140403012916/http://www.finney.org/~hal/ "... Politics Unlike many early Cypherpunks, I never viewed cryptography as a gateway to a libertarian society..." And speaking of politics its " crypto-anarchy ' not ' cyber-liberty ' or crypto-privacy ". Eliding the anarchy is a counter-revolutionary act - a capital crime.
