[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Call For Papers ============================================================================= The 6th IEEE International Conference on Dependability in Sensor, Cloud, and Big Data Systems and Applications (IEEE DependSys 2020), 14-16 December 2020, Fiji [Submission Deadline: Sep. 1][9+ Special Issues] http://cse.stfx.ca/~dependsys/2020/index.html IEEE DependSys 2020 conference is the 6th event in the series of conferences which offers a timely venue for bringing together new ideas, techniques, and solutions for dependability and its issues in sensor, cloud, and big data systems and applications. As we are deep into the Information Age, huge amounts of data are generated every day from sensors, individual archives, social networks, Internet of Things, enterprises and Internet in various scales and format which will pose a major challenge to the dependability of our designed systems. As these systems often tend to become inert, fragile, and vulnerable after a period of running. Effectively improving the dependability of sensor, cloud, big data systems and applications has become increasingly critical. This conference provides a forum for individuals, academics, practitioners, and organizations who are developing or procuring sophisticated computer systems on whose dependability of services they need to place great confidence. Future systems need to close the dependability gap in face of challenges in different circumstances. The emphasis will be on differing properties of such services, e.g., continuity, effective performance, real-time responsiveness, ability to overcome data fault, corruption, anomaly, ability to avoid catastrophic failures, prevention of deliberate privacy intrusions, reliability, availability, sustainability, adaptability, heterogeneity, security, safety, and so on. ============================================================================= IEEE DependSys 2020 is sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC). All accepted papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore and Engineering Index (EI). Best Paper Awards will be presented to high quality papers.

Any Cypherpunk there ?
by таракан 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

I am a Mathematician and involved in "industrial" cryptography. However, I am interested in the Cypherpunk movement as described by the Cypherpunk's manifesto. I am unsure if this mailing list still relates to the original Cypherpunk movement... Obviously it contains many inordinate messages containing vulgar terms. I also do believe that a public mailing list would be the last place on earth Cypherpunks would choose to meet and discuss but who knows? --- Crypto ---------- CRYPTOANALYZER ---------- Sent from [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.ch), encrypted email based in Switzerland.

https://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2020/06/27/document-unmasks-fusion-centers… Document Unmasks Fusion Center’s Participation in License Plate Surveillance By: Mike Maharrey|Published on: Jun 27, 2020|Categories:A document pulled from the BlueLeaks trove reveals the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center (NCRIC) collects automatic license plate reader (ALPR) information and stores it for up to a year, making it accessible to government agencies across the country.The Tenth Amendment Center has long suspected that fusion centers serve as surveillance data collection hubs. The NCRIC document confirms this and additionally reveals that the center owns surveillance technology it makes available to law enforcement agencies in its region. NCRIC is one of 78 fusion centers across the United States. Although states own and operate their fusion centers, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security facilitates and coordinates their activities. According to the DHS website, “The National Network of Fusion Centers is the hub of much of the two-way intelligence and information flow between the federal government and our State, Local, Tribal and Territorial (SLTT) and private sector partners. The fusion centers represent a shared commitment between the federal government and the state and local governments who own and operate them.” The Tenth Amendment Center obtained NCRIC’s ALPR policy through a search of the BlueLeaks database. Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets) published a 269-gigabyte collection of police department data that includes emails, memos, videos, audio files and law enforcement documents. In a tweet, DDoSecrets said the trove includes “ten years of data from over 200 police departments, fusion centers and other law enforcement training and support resources,”. The searchable database contains over 1 million files.

Is the CypherPunks List a 'Safe Place'???
by CJ Parker 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

I recently experienced extreme trauma from being confronted with ideas that went against my own professed belief system. Someone recommended the CypherPunks list to me as a Safe Place to relax in my own skin and not feel threatened by strange, new ideas. It was nice of the person to suggest this would help me recover from my trauma, since, in the past, that person has just been a mean wise-guy toward me. I guess my directing meditative crystal energy toward that person has finally helped them come around... Carlene Johnson Parker "Lab Results Are Back...My Pussy Is A Safe Place"

[gilmay97@gmail.com: Fwd: Undercover Investigation Minneapolis Riot Was Preplanned]
by Zig the N.g 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

As grarpamp recently pointed out, "protests" often seem to be either coordinated by one large political faction or another, or get coopted as such. As such, it is sadly, absolutely no surprise to see Trump's CHAD Zone: Trump Establishes Manlier CHAD Camp Next To CHAZ Camp https://babylonbee.com/news/trump-establishes-manlier-chad-camp-next-to-cha… On more mundaine matters, some history for ya buffs: A Brief History Of Antifa: Part I Soeren Kern via The Gatestone Institute, https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/16104/antifa-history https://www.zerohedge.com/political/brief-history-antifa-part-i ----- Forwarded message from Gil May <gilmay97(a)gmail.com> ----- From: Gil May <gilmay97(a)gmail.com> To: reader(a)gmail.com Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2020 20:40:58 +1000 Subject: Fwd: Undercover Investigation Minneapolis Riot Was Preplanned Undercover Investigation Minneapolis Riot Was Preplanned [image: image] <https://track.slsv2.com/track/click?linkData=1-55d6eyJsaW5rIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9c…> *Undercover Investigation: Minneapolis Riot * <https://track.slsv2.com/track/click?linkData=1-293eeyJsaW5rIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9c…> *Was Pre-Planned* <https://track.slsv2.com/track/click?linkData=1-293eeyJsaW5rIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9c…> The site has been under constant DDoS attack since the declaration of emergency began on March 15th. The site gets knocked offline several times daily but the server has been reconfigured to make the site come back up in about 5 mins. When you see a connection error, please try going back to the site in a few minutes. Last night, the attacks caused me to get locked out of my site. I was only now able to get back in. Apologies for the delay in this report. ***** Protesters occupying the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or "CHAZ" in Seattle's Capitol Hill District are claiming that they will not disperse until their list of 30 demands <https://track.slsv2.com/track/click?linkData=1-cb7beyJsaW5rIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9c…> have been met, including "dismantlement of the police department (of which they are occupying a station), the abolition of imprisonment, free public housing and socialized healthcare." According to a friend of a friend of mine who owns a home in captured CHAZ territory, he is being extorted for thousands of dollars to prevent occupiers from burning his house down. George Webb takes a very dark view of the situation, believing that CHAZ is a set-up for a Euromaidan-type of false flag event, similar to what we saw in 2013 in Ukraine, in which foreign snipers were brought in to shoot members of both sides of the protest, thus kicking off the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution. He believes Minnesota Attorney General and former DNC Deputy Chair, Keith Ellison will help coordinate the delivery to CHAZ of a large weapons cache to re-enact a Kent State massacre that will be blamed on Trump and prevent his re-election. The Liberal establishment is clearly in support of these developments. The Minnesota Freedom Fund promoted by several Hollywood celebrities, which pays bail for rioters and the George Floyd GoFundMe have each taken in tens of millions of dollars in donations. US corporations have funneled over $450 million <https://track.slsv2.com/track/click?linkData=1-a37deyJsaW5rIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9c…> into Black Lives Matter over the past 2 weeks. BLM donations are being processed by the DNC's de facto payment portal, ActBlue <https://track.slsv2.com/track/click?linkData=1-4b62eyJsaW5rIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9c…>, whose Terms of Service states that if a campaign or a committee doesn't cash an ActBlue check within 60 days or a contribution is refused, the donation "will be re-designated as a contribution to ActBlue." Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan and Washington State Governor Jay Inslee appear delighted about what's happening, exulting in the prospect of a "summer of love" <https://track.slsv2.com/track/click?linkData=1-2061eyJsaW5rIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9c…>. New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio and his wife were also beeming about the riots and the demands for a de-funding of the NYPD, with his wife describing a police-free City as "Nirvana" albeit unreachable. Their daughter, Chiara was arrested rioting with Antifa. Many top Democrats are sympathetic to Antifa, including Ellison, who tweeted a selfie holding the Antifa Manual, saying that this should "strike fear in the heart" of Donald Trump. His son, Jeremiah tweeted his support for Antifa on the Monday following the first weekend of rioting. Facial-recognition technology has confirmed that Ilhan Omar and her then-married boyfriend, Tim Mynett attended the riots following the Trump rally in Minneapolis and her daughter was soliciting logistics support Antifa during the George Floyd riots while Minnesota Governor Tim Walz' daughter was tweeting out police locations to Antifa. Linwood Kaine, the son of Virginia Senator, former DNC Chair and Hillary Clinton Vice Presidential running mate Tim Kaine is a member of Antifa who was arrested at an anti-Trump rally in 2017. *This video is Part 1 of a documentary by Millie Weaver about the overwhelming evidence that the mass riots across the country were pre-planned. It focuses on the Leftist radicalization of minors through the **Sunrise* <https://track.slsv2.com/track/click?linkData=1-b208eyJsaW5rIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9c…>* climate change movement. Sunrise has formed a powerful grassroots that helped propel many Social Democrats into office, along with their Globalist Agenda 21 platform, the Green New Deal.* *These minors have also been involved in helping to coordinate the riots.* Weaver says here that during the peak of rioting in Minneapolis, their undercover investigator within the Sunrise movement sent some of their internal communiqués to the DOJ. Soon afterwards Discord, the messaging application put out a public statement saying they would not help aid terrorism, which was quickly followed by many Black Lives Matter and Sunrise Movement kids tweeting warnings not to use Discord, telling followers to switch to the Signal app. This put Signal in the top 10 most downloaded social app on iOS for the first time, causing Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey to command his followers to download the app. Following the first week of violent week of riots that saw dozens of people beaten or killed, causing billions of dollars of property damage, New York Congresswoman, AOC participated in a private Zoom conference with the leadership of the Sunrise movement, downplaying the violence and encouraging the abolition of police departments. She said, "You know, there are folks who are dismayed at the violence and at the destruction...when you talk about police abolition and people say that this is a radical demand. You know what police abolition looks like? It looks like a white affluent suburb and when it comes to environmental justice it's the same thing." Weaver asks, "Why did it take so long for the police to file charges and for the District Attorney's Office to move towards criminal prosecution. There was plenty of video evidence circulating on social media to justify immediate action by local law enforcement. Why? Is it because it allowed for more escalation and shift of blame towards the organizers true goal of going after President Trump, his supporters and the American justice system?" The Mainstream Media, Big Tech and big corporations appear intent on stoking racial division and mayhem across the nation, in lockstep with the Globalist agenda <https://track.slsv2.com/track/click?linkData=1-a966eyJsaW5rIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9c…> to perpetrate the idea that the racial tensions have become so unmanageable in the US, especially in the wake of the economic devastation caused by COVID-19, that outside intervention may be necessary - or more importantly, that major corporations must invest in their fraudulent carbon-trading schemes for the sake of "environmental justice". *Running Time 22 mins:* [image: image] Help FKTV! <https://track.slsv2.com/track/click?linkData=1-9326eyJsaW5rIjoiaHR0cDpcL1wv…> You Might Like <https://track.slsv2.com/track/click?linkData=1-882deyJsaW5rIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9c…> <https://track.slsv2.com/track/click?linkData=1-aceeeyJsaW5rIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9c…> <https://track.slsv2.com/track/click?linkData=1-d8b4eyJsaW5rIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9c…> <https://track.slsv2.com/track/click?linkData=1-a2f2eyJsaW5rIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9c…> [image: Learn more about RevenueStripe...] <https://track.slsv2.com/track/click?linkData=1-1365eyJsaW5rIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9c…> Subscribe to FKTV! <https://track.slsv2.com/track/click?linkData=1-227aeyJsaW5rIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9c…> PO Box 347 , Hampton Bays, NY, US 11946-0306 To update or remove your contact information please Manage Your Subscription <https://track.slsv2.com/track/click?linkData=1-4191eyJsaW5rIjoidW5zdWJzY3Jp…> .
