A rash of leakers are bragging about their releases, as if building cred for soliciting invitations to cooperate with authorities, the Sabu gambit, or Assange, but much more by Snowden. Hard to tell whether these are individuals and cohorts are acting alone or if official undercover operations hiding in plain sight. Pseudos, crypto, hacks, Tor, SecureDrops, deep/dark web, cybersecurity, privacy, malware, ransomware and ilk, lipsticked by press freedom and 1A, come across as organized mafia working both sides of the disnformation fence.

I'd like to test a basic " Ansible " device outside our solar-system. The problem is NASA and Musk keep talking up rape of the wilderness planet, Mars. Once any other sentient alien species find out about that they'll probably have us wiped out as a threat to the entire Galaxy. SAD!

Bitcoin Spikes to New Record High Over $60K The top cryptocurrency by market cap rose to $60,065.15 in a matter of minutes on Saturday morning. WHO wants to join the LAST revolution? The one to take down ALL the governments! Cypherpunks collapse governments. Subject: Everyone a remailer: Everyone a Mint: Everyone an assassin https://marc.info/?l=cypherpunks&m=100872510706876&w=2 Strong-crypto, digital money, anonymous networks, pseudonyms, zero- knowledge proofs, reputations, information-markets, netwar, collapse-of-governments. No question we’re still in the old Mongo, Szabo, Back inception of crypto-anarchy. But also no question things keep moving the Bell, Johnson, Taylor way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtkJ7vxGn4c
