Crypto-anarchy institute in Prague warned
by professor rat 13 Nov '20

13 Nov '20

Cease and desist letter posted at my blog ( pro2rat Diaspora ) The purely crypto-mafia approach - as practiced by parallel Penis weenies in Prague - amounts to Bakunin's " Freedom with anarchism is privilege and injustice ' so I'm putting them on notice to change their name to ' Cyber-Liberty ' if they want to carry on with all that Randite-Paultard crap as embodied by the likes of G. Zucco. Get off our crypto-anarchist lawn. ..' They have one Friedman Unit to comply. To continue to operate means a steady commitment to full-spectrum crypto-anarchism of which APster is a key part along with stronger and better links to trad anarchism.

Censorship: Oligarch Media+Social - 2020s Censors More Dangerous Than Anything
by grarpamp 13 Nov '20

https://off-guardian.org/2020/11/08/censoring-donald-trump-is-more-dangerou… https://justthenews.com/nation/technology/facebook-deletes-stop-steal-group… https://www.businessinsider.in/politics/world/news/msnbc-stopped-airing-tru… Oligarchs and social media giants are now claiming a monopoly on “the truth”, that should worry everyone... The media have called the election for Biden, but the counting goes on and there is a legal case in the offing. But whoever emerges from this deluge of sludge, fraud and propaganda to become president of the United States, there has undoubtedly already been one big loser – freedom of speech. Late on Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning, Donald Trump – the elected President of the United States – emerged from the White House to make a speech. He accused the Democratic party, the political establishment, the media and tech giants/social media companies of working together to steal the election and put Biden in the Whitehouse. You likely didn’t see all of it, because most of the mainstream news channels simply refused to broadcast it. Watch this clip: Earlier that night, MSNBC had cut away from Trump’s first speech claiming victory, with anchor Brian Williams claiming it was “not rooted in reality” and “dangerous”. Social media companies were doing the same thing. Within hours of it being set up Facebook deleted a group protesting the election result, while twitter reduced the President’s timeline to this: This isn’t about defending Donald Trump, or even agreeing that the election was rigged (although there is plenty of evidence to suspect as much). This is about a principle. Donald Trump is the elected head of state, and he is being denied a platform to address the people he represents by the faceless servants of corporate media oligarchs. This is a terrible, terrifyingly awful precedent to set. The owners of Comcast or Warner Bros or Disney or Facebook or Twitter are not elected officials. They have no legal authority, and thus no accountability. Yet they are claiming the right to determine what elected officials can and cannot say to the people who elected them. There is a strain of thought that this kind of censorship is justified. “Spreading disinformation puts lives at risk”, they say. “If the media stopped people lying we wouldn’t be in this mess” or “the news should only broadcast the truth!”. The argument goes that “allowing Donald Trump to “publicly undermine our democratic institutions will erode the public trust and could lead to violence.” But I would argue that empowering billionaires to hold a monopoly on “the truth” is far more dangerous to democracy than anything Trump could ever say. To people inclined to disagree, I leave these five questions. Answer them, if you can: Who made the decision to censor the elected President of the United States? Who granted them this power? Whose interests do they serve? To whom are they accountable? In the future, who gets to decide “the truth”?

Crypto economy adoption routes the masses around need for any exchanges and into true p2p use of crypto without fiat intermediaries. Blocks and tx, replaced by emergence of fully encrypted homomorphic crypto state databases, nothing to block but the entire network itself. No more legacy of blockchain bloat, no more blockchain history for spies. Limited access distribution and use channels for ASICs, the current generation of ASIC friendly coins, ASIC and datacenter centralization risks of legacy coin architectures, become thrown out by masses in favor of CPU friendly coins, a distributed humanity that more people can run in background. Abandon and refuse to join majority pools, and don't become corporate pool, the many will rise, move away, and kill the greedys own wealth therein. Privacy coins reach adoption over non-privacy coins as the proper way to nullify censorship prison planet surveillance dystopia altogether. Humans will move to these as they have natural aversion to such risks to selves. Autonomous solar powered mid-ocean flagless drone ships running exchanges over satcom and RF. Everyone in coinspace compacts and tells world govts to fuck off at the next crypto conferences in unison. These are the only correct and workable options against dystopians, globalists, censors, surveillors, oppressors, world GovCorp BigTech power, and everyone knows it. Now stand up and start doing it. Crypto wins. Government is nothing more than a fiction, a persistent bad dream that exists soley in your head, a shitty song played on repeat 24x7 through all media and propaganda, repressing you every night, WAKE THE FUCK UP tomorrow morning and cast it off such that you begin discovering and living freedom. https://taz0.org/bitstream/0x0b-the-roots-of-parallel-polis/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idx3GSL2KWs Get down with OPP

Garden Gnome sale at Landscaping plot

Between the freezing high peaks of terror and endless summer on pacifist flood-plains lies the four-seasons landscaping of the threat. I loved you, so I drew these tides ofMen into my handsAnd wrote my will across theSky and starsTo earn you Total Landscaping, the FourPillared worthy house,That your eyes might beShining for meWhen we came Turning and turning in the widening gyre / the garden-gnome cannot see the landscaper / things fall apart / the cockpit cannot hold / more republican blood is spilled on Pennsylvania’s soil I met a traveller from an antique land,Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stoneStand in this desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,Tell that its sculptor well those passions readWhich yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;And on the pedestal, these words appear:I am the Four Seasons Total Landscaping Gnome;Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!Nothing beside remains. Round the decayOf that colossal Wreck, boundless and bareThe lone and level sands stretch far away.” “I was walking along the road with two friends – the sun was setting – suddenly the sky turned blood red – I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence – there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city – my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety – and I sensed an infinite scream passing through the Four Season’s Landscaping lot.

Assassination Politics

KILL the POTUS ( My 200$ ) For those interested in the non-black-box version of APster ( all three of us ) the US Secret Service started ' assessing' all threats to protected persons ( Snerk! ) rather than ' investigating' all of them. About a decade ago now. Correlation is not causation - but the net spilled out of America permanently in 2005. More ' Normies' online than " Merkins' for the very first time. What I call ' the death of the American Century '. Back in the bad old days a poor coot could get years in jail for joking about the Lord speaking through a ' Burning Bush "These day a young fella can actually promise to pay a Hitman 500$ to wack out some Political swine and have their case thrown out of court. No jury will convict. Code is free speech and revolutionary cypherpunks shout code. DEATH to AMERICA!

SIR Razer informs us that " a US Libertard. The US variety are rethuglicans who like to party " and I heartily concur. So nothing can save Jim B? Millions of anarchists are already on their way to murder all libertarians in their beds. Just ask OG Jamesd.I can give the poor little creatures a farewell prayer to recite though. " A libertarian may not injure any anarchist being or, through inaction, allow any anarchist being to come to harm ".

Yellow running dogs of the GOP

Taking brave Sir Razer's description of US libertarians as fact - it appears to me as fact - then perhaps we might get a working consensus that no-one here supports any US libertarian's in any way shape or form and if they ever get caught doing so they richly deserve slow torturing to death over several weeks. Yes?
