Putin's illusions about the West - [PEACE]
by Zigger the N.gger 02 Jan '20

02 Jan '20

Thankfully, Putin and by implication Russia, have few illusions about the nature of the Western cabal. As Poland attempts to pin the entire beginning of WWII on Russia (seriously! - alleging the 23 Aug 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact), Putin, ever patient as he is the face of the alternative to endless diplomacy with agreement-incapable Western idiots, reminds the world (amongst other things) of the 1938 Munich Agreement. Putin: “Let them read historical documents so that they can see that the Munich Agreement was signed in 1938: the leaders of key European countries – France and the United Kingdom – signed an agreement with Hitler to divide Czechoslovakia.” I would add, let them look in the hypocrisy mirror of NATO's destruction of Yugoslavia. Da West got some chickens comin home...

Re: Best Ayn Rand Quotes
by Ryan Carboni 02 Jan '20

02 Jan '20

Ayn Rand was the most dangerous thing to ever come out of the Soviet Union. If her ideas were to be adopted, this country would collapse within less than five years. Heinlein was better: "Morals — all correct moral laws — derive from the instinct to survive. Moral behavior is survival behavior above the individual level." vs... whatever Rand meant by this: "The army of a free country has a great responsibility: the right to use force, but not as an instrument of compulsion and brute conquest — as the armies of other countries have done in their histories — only as an instrument of a free nation's self-defense, which means: the defense of a man's individual rights. The principle of using force only in retaliation against those who initiate its use, is the principle of subordinating might to right. The highest integrity and sense of honor are required for such a task. No other army in the world has achieved it. You have. "

The media should do a followup interview of popsicle man
by Ryan Carboni 01 Jan '20

01 Jan '20

https://nypost.com/2015/12/06/reporter-accused-of-taking-popsicle-from-cali… The British tabloid reporter who was dubbed “Popsicle guy” after he left the San Bernardino shooter’s home with an orange object causing speculation he had taken a frozen treat from the apartment, defended himself Sunday. Toby Harnden, who works for The Sunday Times of London, explained he was just helping the landlord with a screwdriver before he was labeled the “iced lolly” bandit Friday. “The FBI made clear they no longer saw it as a crime scene, and Doyle Miller, 81, did not have the strength to remove the boards,” Harnden wrote of the elderly landlord in Sunday’s paper. “So I took an orange screwdriver from him and did it myself.” Also, the FBI lied. There are probably several hundred Al Qaeda operatives in the US under the direction of the US government. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_San_Bernardino_attack Comey has said that although the investigation has shown that the couple was radicalized and possibly inspired by foreign terrorist organizations, there is no indication that they were directed by such a group or part of a broader cell or network.

Keep breathing and still alive, dear all. Wish all the happiness and love of this world to each one of you, not only in 2020, but in all the days of your lives. Cruel stupid people also included in my wishes. Maybe being happy, they become good people? Hope it from the bottom of my heart! :-) Much love and serenity for all of you, CypherPunks... and NSA, FBI and other eventual spies lurking here. Aff... There are so many better ways to spend the life... :P Ceci <3 ====================== "Still Breathing - Green Day" https://youtu.be/pnTZa4FY_7I I'm like a child looking off on the horizon I'm like an ambulance that's turning on the sirens Oh, I'm still alive I'm like a soldier coming home for the first time I dodged a bullet and I walked across a landmine Oh, I'm still alive Am I bleeding am I bleeding from the storm? Just shine a light into the wreckage, so far away, away 'Cause I'm still breathing 'Cause I'm still breathing on my own My head's above the rain and roses Making my way away 'Cause I'm still breathing 'Cause I'm still breathing on my own My head's above the rain and roses Making my way away My way to you I'm like a junkie tying off for the last time I'm like a loser that's betting on his last dime Oh, I'm still alive I'm like a son that was raised without a father I'm like a mother barely keeping it together Oh, I'm still alive Am I bleeding, am I bleeding from the storm? Just shine a light into the wreckage, so far away, away 'Cause I'm still breathing 'Cause I'm still breathing on my own My head's above the rain and roses Making my way away 'Cause I'm still breathing 'Cause I'm still breathing on my own My head's above the rain and roses Making my way, away, away As I walked out on the ledge Are you scared to death to live?

P4RV - POWER For RISC-V - Know Who Stands - Know Your Gremlin - moral imperatives - discerning discrimination - [TECH]
by Zigger the N.gger 01 Jan '20

01 Jan '20

One fundamental is the intersection between digital and meat space. Though shalt not ignore thy champions. You must Know Your Gremlin, and UC Berkeley (as many "neon fascists" today know) is a literal anti-liberal terrorist breeding cage. Supporting those with barely disguised gremlinista traits, is immoral. When we know who stands, we know who to support. Supporting those who act ethically, is a moral imperative; likewise, ceasing support for those who act unethically. ISAs for the win - POWER, RISC-V, and perhaps a Transmeta-like RISC-V on POWER ftfw :) Giving up one's power of discrimination, is leaving discernment in the outhouse. Pursuant to my conscience, I discern. Pursuant to my will arising from my conscience, I discriminate. I choose to do good, not evil.
