Yes, privacy is a lure for siphoning user data. An ancient artifice like deity for raising funds for temples. Aka national security. Or cryptography. Or cities. Or peoples. Or individuals.

the coming coup attempt, possibility, in the USA, 20 Jan 2021 - [PEACE] [AND] [MILITARY COUPS]

Interesting times: The Coming Coup Michael Anton via The American Mind https://americanmind.org/essays/the-coming-coup/ https://www.zerohedge.com/political/coming-coup ... These items are, to repeat, merely a short but representative list of what Byron York recently labeled “coup porn.” York seems to think this is just harmless fantasizing on the part of the ruling class and its Democratic servants. For some of them, no doubt that’s true. But for all of them? I’m not so sure. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/coup-porn-resistance-… In his famously exhaustive discussion of conspiracies, Machiavelli goes out of his way to emphasize the indispensability of “operational security”—i.e., silence—to success. The first rule of conspiracy is, you do not talk about the conspiracy. The second rule of conspiracy is, you do not talk about the conspiracy. So why are the Democrats—publicly—talking about the conspiracy? Because they know that, for it to succeed, it must not look like a conspiracy. They need to plant the idea in the public mind, now, that their unlawful and illegitimate removal of President Trump from office will somehow be his fault. Never mind the pesky detail that the president would refuse to leave only if he were convinced he legitimately won. Remember: Biden should not concede --under any circumstances--. The second part of the plan is either to produce enough harvested ballots—lawfully or not—to tip close states, or else dispute the results in close states and insist, no matter what the tally says, that Biden won them. The worst-case scenario (for the country, but not for the ruling class) would be results in a handful of states that are so ambiguous and hotly disputed that no one can rightly say who won. Of course, that will not stop the Democrats from insisting that they won. ... Pray. And vote. Vote and pray. And pray some more. And consider testing the voting system, whilst remembering to pray. Did someone mention vote? And pray? If not, vote and pray. Pray for our collective, and individual, redemption. Pray that righteousness prevails. Pray that evil is cast from this world, into prisons and beyond. God speed.

What do you get when you cross a brand new 475hp 1,050 lb-ft torque Ford Super Duty F-250 driven by a senior citizen, with a line of ANTIFA-fist raising "patriarchy protesters"? You get something worthy of the Anthems of 2020 documentary :) NotTheBee.com is a spin off of BabylonBee.com, but whereas BabylonBee is satire, NotTheBee is true actual news. Enjoy, No matter how many times I watch this video I still can't believe it's not satire https://notthebee.com/article/no-matter-how-many-times-i-watch-this-video-i… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umfSM-mOdQg ...

Shameless pro-USA political clout and essential propaganda - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 06 Sep '20

This one's really sweet, cute in fact - I promise I'll go straight to bed and have a nap after this, but really, how cute is this true storys - firstly I'll just lightly paraphrase it for y'all: <paraphrase> Our American intelligence traps are the best! In fact, our bear traps are just the greatest - with our $104 million dollar B-52B StratoFortress cavorting the Black Sea, we got EIGHT Russian fighter jets sidling up and EXPOSING their radar signatures. Did I mention our intelligence traps are the best? No one does intelligence traps like us! We showed those Russians! We have B-52 StratoFortresses, and they great - they are just so good! They have "Fortress" in the name. They are strong. They are like a fortress in the sky! Our StratoFortresses are the BEST StratoFortresses in the world! And we literally ATE up the Russian radar signatures! We are awesome, and our intelligence traps are the best intelligence traps ever! </paraphrase> True story muffas, enjoy: The Pentagon Has 'Staged' Black Sea B-52 Intercepts As An "Intelligence Trap" For The Russians https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/pentagon-has-staged-black-sea-b-52-i… ... The report describes that at the very moment the Russian fighters were coming extremely close to the B-52, even reportedly limiting its movement and coming within a mere 100 feet, two US RC-135 Rivet Joint electronic-intelligence planes were nearby scooping up useful data on the Su-27 aircraft. Ultimately the "trap" netted valuable intelligence on the Russian anti-air response and technology. ... Sorry if that's a little too lighthearted folks, it's just, I dunno, we need to lighten things up, and this one just tickles the funny bone. Let me just say for the record though, "Oh, dear me, those Russians must be just licking their wounds, they just gave up all that huge, huge sigint data to our glorious StratoFortress - yes, we are really awesome and those silly, silly Russians must be feeling so, so sad." There, I'm sure that improves our essential propaganda situation.

Appeal of pedophilia, or any sexual predation, is that it is forbidden, by custom, law, religion, belief, psychopathology. Doesn't matter what the rationale or preventative regulation stipulates, so long as it is banned that makes the violation alluring. If it is okay to do whatever is banned, appeal disappears. The normal is a turnoff, so its got to dressed in cosmetics, costume, behavior, edict, law, shame, risk, daring, locker room talk, braggardy, you know, the stuff marketed by the sex trade, religion, espionage, charm school, higher education, vulgarity trainers, prosecutors, lawyers, judges, wives and husbands, parents and children being prepared to be lasciviously appealing adults. Stigmatizing porn and masturbation has just about disappeared by overflowing marketplaces and behavior sanctioning professions. The LBQT dot dot dot is expanding almost as fast as global election meddling and lurid entertainment, all lagging and emulating official and commercial and religious spying and reporting upsetting information. War slaughter is the top sexual predation, every human a potential actor and victim. Once addicted to massive bloodletting not much can compete, although masturbation througn simulations in carnage-rich games is racing to outdo the unpleasantly real. Shortly games wizards will drive the actual standoff homicides. To be sure, games wizards do not expect to be beaten to pulp by more capable punks. Place your bets on whether CIC Mr. T makes it to November in one piece, unfucked.

Osama bin Laden’s niece endorses Trump, says he must be re-elected to SAVE the Western world - [PEACE]

Sometimes one's "at most 1 political email a day" is simply not possible, as one falls upon an article so true, so humorous and so "2020" it blows one's mind: Osama bin Laden’s niece endorses Trump, says he must be re-elected to SAVE the Western world https://www.rt.com/usa/499965-bin-laden-niece-endorses-trump/ [photo of Osama bin Laden, Donald Trump, and Noor bin Ladin, not attached] An endorsement from the bin Laden family is hardly the most coveted prize on the campaign trail, but Noor bin Ladin, niece of the 9/11 mastermind, has backed President Trump, claiming only he can save Western civilization. “ISIS proliferated under the Obama/Biden administration,” bin Ladin, who spells her surname different from her infamous uncle but has never made her relation a secret, told the New York Post on Saturday. https://nypost.com/2020/09/05/osama-bin-ladens-niece-says-only-trump-can-pr… “Trump has shown he protects America and us by extension from foreign threats by obliterating terrorists at the root and before they get a chance to strike,” bin Ladin added. Born in and residing in Switzerland, bin Ladin is an occasional visitor to the US and is a massive fan of American conservative politics. She’s regularly seen in a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat, and names Fox News’ Tucker Carlson as her favorite cable news host. Additionally, she’s been a vocal critic of Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, who she told the Post “actively hate[s] your country.” “I have been a supporter of President Trump since he announced he was running in the early days in 2015. I have watched from afar and I admire this man’s resolve,” she said. “He must be reelected … It’s vital for the future of not only America, but western civilization as a whole.” Bin Ladin’s endorsement raised eyebrows on Twitter. “Oh to travel in time and show this tweet to someone from 2002 or 2003, Forbes writer Scott Mendelson joked. ...
