did the fascist monkey pardon assange? of course not. Snowden? nope Tor-arpanet drug-dealer ullbricht? no. So who did the monkey actually pardon? first and foremost the monkey 'pardoned' a bunch of the worst non human trash on the planet, aka US mercenaries guilty of murder "four Blackwater guards convicted in connection with the killing of Iraqi civilians.| and then he followed some more orders from g'd pardoned g'ds chosen people Sholam Weiss, who was sentenced to more than 800 years in prison in 2000 for racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering related to a huge insurance fraud scheme. His remaining sentence was commuted. Eliyahu Weinstein, who was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison in 2014 for a real estate Ponzi scheme that prosecutors said caused $200 million in losses, had his remaining jail sentence commuted. Aviem Sella, a former Israeli Air Force officer who was indicted by the United States in 1987 on espionage charges Rick Renzi, who was sentenced in 2013 to three years in jail in association with a bribery scheme involving an Arizona land swap deal; Randall “Duke” Cunningham of California, who pleaded guilty in 2005 to taking $2.4 million in bribes from military contractors commuted the sentence of Kwame M. Kilpatrick, a Democrat and former Detroit mayor who was convicted in 2013 for using his office to enrich himself and his family through shakedowns, kickbacks and bid-rigging schemes he also pardoned some of his direct accomplices, I'm not even bothering with that.

"... that's awfully generous of you but I can pay my own ticket ..." Well we can replace that with cash. The important thing is to live somewhere we're you're comfortable and happy; yes? The best revenge is living well ( in a democratic peoples republic that hates anarchists ) Capital CHAPTER FOUR: THE GENERAL FORMULA FOR CAPITAL: "The capitalist knows that all commodities, however scurvy they may look, or however badly they may smell, are in faith and in truth money, inwardly circumcised Jews ..."

Feeling generous since my 640$ Btc investment cracked 30K I'm now willing to convert the deadpool on Punk-BatSoup-Stasi 2.0 into a one-way-ticket to the DPRK from anywhere in the world ( economy class ) and 1K Aud per year for every year he stays there. Have your bat people call my rat people. This proffer expires in one Friedman Unit.

Stiffs dotcom appears to have suffered a fatal loss of nerve with regard to the latest DOA POTUS, Obama-Joe Biden. Never mind. The quick and easy workaround is to have Bambi stand in for the stiff. https://stiffs.com/celebrity/barackobama And our old friend Bill is still there... https://stiffs.com/celebrity/billgates A big part of moving to CYPHERPUNK 2027 at full warp is getting rid of a few serial-pests like these two.

" ...rational anarchy ..." This sounds oxymoronic - as you might expect coming from an idiot like ' Coderman ". Political anarchism may be rational or complete - but never both. And the move to global anarchism still requires some controlled violence - specifically dead American presidents and billionaires. If they haven't surrendered after ten years its unlikely they'll start now. We'll measure their successful failure after Joe Biden and Bill Gates are pushing up the daisy's. Welcome to the violent and deadly revolution.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2021/01/19/957240511/why-nations-fail-am… TL;DR: "Drawing on decades of economic research, Why Nations Fail argues that political institutions — not culture, natural resources or geography — explain why some nations have gotten rich while others remain poor. A good example is North Korea and South Korea. Eighty years ago, the two were virtually indistinguishable. But after a civil war, North Korea turned to communism, while South Korea embraced markets and, eventually, democracy. The authors argue that South Korea's institutions are the clear reason that it has grown insanely more rich than North Korea. Nations like South Korea have what Acemoglu and Robinson call "inclusive institutions" such as representative legislatures, good public schools, open markets and strong patent systems. Inclusive institutions educate their populations. They invest in infrastructure. They fight poverty and disease. They encourage innovation. They are far different from the "extractive institutions" found in countries like North Korea, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, where small groups of elites use state power for their own ends and prosper through corruption, rent-seeking or brutally forcing people to work." decentralize inclusive institutions until we reach rational anarchy. it sounds so easy :P best regards, -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iNUEAREKAH0WIQRBwSuMMH1+IZiqV4FlqEfnwrk4DAUCYAdb7l8UgAAAAAAuAChp c3N1ZXItZnByQG5vdGF0aW9ucy5vcGVucGdwLmZpZnRoaG9yc2VtYW4ubmV0NDFD MTJCOEMzMDdEN0UyMTk4QUE1NzgxNjVBODQ3RTdDMkI5MzgwQwAKCRBlqEfnwrk4 DN6uAQC5fYDm5pU1UGkKbXcL9Nx9rhU9pb9K3WL/139KjUV7TQD+Mx9+8eHrz2Cp kXGzDqT2D55t3a4G/knLfjDXKp6swgQ= =uG12 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Brave browser now supports ipfs://

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 decentralized web and anarchy go well together :) see also: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs best regards, - ----- begin-cut ----- https://brave.com/brave-integrates-ipfs/ Brave Integrates IPFS to Enable Users to Seamlessly Browse The Decentralized Web Advancing the transition to a decentralized Web, IPFS integration on Brave’s desktop browser increases content availability and Internet resilience San Francisco, California – January 19, 2021 – IPFS, the peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol designed to make the Web faster, safer, and more open, has been integrated into Brave, the fast, privacy-oriented browser, reinventing the Web for users, publishers and advertisers. Incorporated into today’s Brave desktop browser update (version 1.19), Brave’s 24 million monthly active users can now access content directly from IPFS by resolving ipfs:// URIs via a gateway or installing a full IPFS node in one click. When installing a full node, this will allow Brave users to load content over IPFS’ p2p network, hosted on their own node. Integrating IPFS provides Brave users with a significantly enhanced browsing experience, increasing the availability of content, offloading server costs from the content publisher, and improving the overall resilience of the Internet. Molly Mackinlay, Project Lead at IPFS said, “Bringing the benefits of the dWeb to Brave users, IPFS’ efforts to remove systemic data censorship by corporations and nation-states are now strengthened through the integration with Brave. Today, Web users across the world are unable to access restricted content, including, for example, parts of Wikipedia in Thailand, over 100,000 blocked websites in Turkey, and critical access to COVID-19 information in China. Now anyone with an internet connection can access this critical information through IPFS on the Brave browser.” In a further aspect of the integration, projects building on IPFS such as app development platforms, Textile, and Fleek, will automatically enable anyone to deploy a website or dApp accessible on Brave. Brian Bondy, CTO and co-founder of Brave, said, “We’re thrilled to be the first browser to offer a native IPFS integration with today’s Brave desktop browser release. Providing Brave’s 1 million+ verified content creators with the power to seamlessly serve content to millions of new users across the globe via a new and secure protocol, IPFS gives users a solution to the problem of centralized servers creating a central point of failure for content access. IPFS’ innovative content addressing uses Content Identifiers (CIDs) to form an address based on the content itself as opposed to locating data based on the address of a server. Integrating the IPFS open-source network is a key milestone in making the Web more transparent, decentralized, and resilient.” With a budding community of over four thousand IPFS contributors around the world, this is the initial implementation of IPFS on Brave. Striving to give users full control of their online experience, future collaborations will facilitate automatic redirects from DNSLink websites to the native IPFS version, the ability to “co-host” a website, features to easily publish to IPFS, and much more. ### Molly Mackinlay, Project Lead at IPFS, and Brian Bondy, CTO and co-founder of Brave, are available for interview About IPFS IPFS is a peer-to-peer network and protocol designed to make the web faster, safer, and more open. IPFS upgrades the web to work peer to peer, addressing data by what it is instead of where it’s located on the network, or who is hosting it. About Brave Brave Software’s fast, privacy-oriented browser, combined with its blockchain-based digital advertising platform, is reinventing the Web for users, publishers, and advertisers. Users get a private, speedier web experience with much longer battery life, publishers increase their revenue share, and advertisers achieve better conversion. Users can opt into privacy-respecting ads that reward them with a frequent flyer-like token they can redeem or use to tip or contribute to publishers and other content creators. The Brave solution is a win-win for everyone who has a stake in the open Web and who is weary of giving up privacy and revenue to the ad-tech intermediaries. Brave currently has over 24 million monthly active users and over 1 million Verified Publishers. Brave Software was co-founded by Brendan Eich, creator of JavaScript and co-founder of Mozilla (Firefox), and Brian Bondy, formerly of Khan Academy and Mozilla. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iNUEAREKAH0WIQRBwSuMMH1+IZiqV4FlqEfnwrk4DAUCYAdQ7V8UgAAAAAAuAChp c3N1ZXItZnByQG5vdGF0aW9ucy5vcGVucGdwLmZpZnRoaG9yc2VtYW4ubmV0NDFD MTJCOEMzMDdEN0UyMTk4QUE1NzgxNjVBODQ3RTdDMkI5MzgwQwAKCRBlqEfnwrk4 DDlNAP9eBDjNcH0kc5iNK2fv8N1gpDyBJxKhX44xJux9tMW8ZQEAjx8jVbrfw/3j UoN5T8APllNrz3e8C8LGx/7xaHj2OmU= =ri/8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
