Cypherpunks write code
by professor rat 04 Sep '21

04 Sep '21

"... And there's something I'm curious about, what are people doing on this mailing list who aren't interested in information security that can't write a code? ..." Maybe cos its an anarchists list for discussing the socio-economic & political aspects of cryptographic code use. The political economy of Dead-Pools, for example. Or the rise of the crypto-currency sector over 2 trillion USD $ as we speak. List founder Tim ' Mongo " May often made this broader point - that the list should not encourage specialist technocrats. So " Code ' should be meant as broadly as possible. It's on disk - check the archives. "...I really wonder why this mailing list isn't being used for its purpose? ..." Batshit-crazy Nazi-Fag-Morons - the Gramps, Semich, ' Natural-Rights' bowtie-anarchy Losers type - tried to squat here for a brief while so we're evicting them right now. Increasingly the cryptoanarchist infrastructure market is taking over this lists purpose as its living out the cypherpunk creed - " Privacy for the poor and transparency for the powerful " Money talks - bullshit walks.

[draft] problems to prepare for when targeted
by Karl 04 Sep '21

04 Sep '21

One of the things that really prevented dialog and addressing of targeting when it began for me, was the concept of "but why would this ever happen to some random individual?" Assuming one isn't targeted then leads to years of pursuing various things that don't necessarily help. [Targeting involves being personally studied for disruption activities such as planting of spy devices and system trojans, contacting people and services in one's life to reduce the power of one's community.]. This involves investment of resources by bodies with limited resources, so people can be skeptical it would ever happen. One thing not often discussed is that targetting can involve being framed as a suspect for high-stakes crimes such as drug dealing or terrorism. Simply calling authorities can open an investigation and allocate extensive resources. There are also organizations that work to disrupt people or groups of various pursuasions, that individuals may be listed with. Books have been published by workers and volunteers at such organizations or groups. This stuff usually happens when somebody notices you for some reason. It may be easy if you have a well-known family name, or are a political figure, but other roles aren't ones everyone expects: - providing resources for activists or people otherwise without them - making a stink that could harm somebody's reputation - organizing discussions counter to mainstream messaging, especially in an area where they are not already present Simple being the person footing the bill, or owning the resources, or who has the crucial skillset, or is willing to go the distance, when nobody else isn't, can suddenly change one's life forever when noticed. Change it in ways that nobody would believe, because the resources involved are reserved for hunting the most dangerous criminals and fighting the most vicious mercenaries. Things that suddenly people are considering you, because their bosses or computer systems are saying you are likely to be.

Daily Beast: Forever Wars Won't End if the Surveillance State's Still Here

Daily Beast: Forever Wars Won't End if the Surveillance State's Still Here. https://www.thedailybeast.com/forever-wars-wont-end-if-the-surveillance-sta… But who will lead the charge to wind down America’s domestic national security panopticon that, after decades of taxpayer funding and expansions of its opaque surveillance powers, still failed to anticipate critical developments like the rise of ISIS or Afghanistan’s swift collapse to the Taliban? "Over the past 20 years, our failures in Afghanistan have become synonymous with the overreach and blind arrogance of the War on Terror. But that didn’t just unfold on some distant desert battlefield. An equally treacherous surveillance state was built by American lawmakers right here at home"Just three weeks after President George W. Bush launched the invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001, a Senate supermajority voted 98-1 to enact a bundle of emergency counterterrorism measures known as the USA PATRIOT Act. Among a slew of authoritarian nightmares, the Patriot Act vastly expanded the federal government’s authority to spy on its own citizens without oversight, indefinitely detain immigrants even vaguely suspected of terrorism, wiretap Americans without probable cause and compile incomparably massive databases of Americans’ internet activities and cell-phone metadata."

professor turd is is a cop

Shocking news! The non human turd is a cop and that's the obvious reason why he isn't running any 'assasination market' on augur, or anywhere else. His cop immunity only allows him to post idiotic bullshit on this list.
