Hong Kong Police Arrest Woman Mourning Attacker Who Stabbed A Police Officer Before Killing Himself A woman in Hong Kong's Causeway Bay shopping area was arrested on Wednesday after turning up to the area with flowers to mourn a week after the death of a man who stabbed a police officer in the back before taking his own life. Pro-democracy activists have laid flowers at the scene since the July 1 attack mourning the attacker who some on social media are calling a martyr. Activists continue to argue that the government has created an environment in which lawful peaceful protest is impossible leaving residents desperate.

"Tortured again for posting about being tortured on the internet. I am evil for being tortured." "You don't even believe in evil, how can you be something you don't believe exists?" "You make a hard point. You make a hard point. Have you ever been tortured?" "Honestly, it's pretty hard to talk about, and I don't know if it was anything like your torture. My children were taken by men with machine guns when I upset somebody, once, and we ended up all coming here to escape the situation." "Did they hound you and tell you it was somehow your fault, for upsetting them, that your children were in danger?" "Yes, this did happen ..."

"I think this whole world might be a simulation." "I saw a movie about that. You can escape and work with a bunch of rebels to take down the computerised apocalypse." "How do you escape?" "You have to swallow a special rebel pill that makes you unplug." "What, like public key cryptography or blockchains?" "Uhh, where do I get those in pill form?"

Twitter Jack Dorsey Censored Users at the Request of the State

https://u8z8g8c2.rocketcdn.me/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/11889-Supplemental… UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS CASE No. 1:20-CV-11889-MLW Twitter Censored Users at the Request of the State "Twitter Trusted Partnership Program and the Twitter Partner Support Portal (PSP). In 2017, Cohen and others began formulating and designing the framework for silently violating the free speech rights of US persons by first characterizing speakers as "Influence Operators" (IOs) thereby fabricating a sinister connotation where none exists, as the ideological framework to justify canceling speakers who exercise their right to express their opinion." Elections Influence Operations Playbook for State and Local Officials The National Association of State Election Directors, and the Secretary of State of Massachusetts, are being sued for partnering with Twitter to censor critics of the state. State election officials developed a system to assess the “threat level” of speech critical of them, or any comments that expressed skepticism of election security. Then they struck a deal in which Twitter agreed to delete Tweets, and ban users, at the request of government officials. The court documents make clear that Twitter attempted to insulate the state actors from the censorship, instead operating under the guise that Twitter’s internal moderators had found the content violated its terms. It’s one thing for a private company to trample free speech. But when the government does it, that clearly violates the constitution.

[wrong] [draft] [spam] The goal of using cryptography at all.

Since this list is so weird, people talking strange (including me), no signatures, etc etc, it would be good to get better communications going. There are many better communication systems. To know your messages are meant for you by the person who claims to have sent them, it's really good to be able to keep a private key that is actually private. This is hard for me to do. What device I'm on switches. Right now my device is an android phone that runs very very slowly and often misbehaves. A private key kept on this phone, which sometimes does things on its own while I am looking at it, and sometimes may wait a few minutes to respond to touching a button, would make security more complex. I would barely have confidence that the private key was private, because I don't know how to make the phone behave reliably.

https://phys.org/news/2021-06-quantum-cascade-lasers-private-free-space.html Jim Bell's comment: I remember a device called a "gunnplexer" in the late 1970s.http://www.microwave-museum.org/exhibits/mwm0022.htm It allowed two-way communication over the Gunn-oscillator frequency, usually 10.25 GHz.------------------- I have long thought that designers of WiFi routers should have incorporated an ability to communicate between nearby units. The vast majority of WiFi routers are within hearing distance of other routers.

Zimmerman not a cypherpunk - Finney not a libertarian

To counter lies spread by known NAZBOL turd, John Young on this list. For the record Phil Zimmerman specifically distanced himself from the Cypherpunks and Hal Finney from Libertarianism. This is to stop any nocoiner, mischief-making, KNOWN FASCIST from obscuring the true history of cryptoanarchy. All Marxists hate all anarchists and so no Marxist arsehole ( like John Young ) or 'recovering Marxist " ( like James Arsehole Donald ) can be trusted in any anarchist space. They've been physically attacking us since 1917. We have a right to destroy all those who would destroy us. https://libcom.org/history/black-guards

"... Makes sense that pigshit shoveler Glenn Greenwald was the slop poisoner, Pierre Omidyar the wallowing pigmaster. ..." Like that time Omigod wrote he wanted to see ' 20 million mud-people ' killed and Glenin published it...oh wait...no, sorry... That was Tim " Mongo ' May and his mincing little poodle, John " Cryptome " Young.

Self-redacted ERIC Hughes ran like a rabbit and died like a deserter. Every coward should go out like that. Right John? Then what about that joke called GILMORE! TSA activism so tepid it barely qualifies as liberal. This is how losers redact themselves. Right John? AMIRITE!? " Circle of Eunuchs ' is not just some abstract thing dreamed up by CJ.
