"Greta Thunberg" begs Kamala Harris to "not arrest us" - [PEACE] [SUCCESSFUL PRANK PHONE CALL]
by Zenaan Harkness 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

And the Top-KeK Top-Troll award of the year goes to ... Vovan & Lexus ... <YEAH, and the crowds go wild!!!> Fake "Greta" literally begs Kamala Harris to not arrest her and her father: The phone call then ends with the pranksters enthusing about the prospect of meeting Harris soon and begging her to “not arrest us” – a joke whose double meaning would’ve completely escaped her. “No, no, no!” Harris assures them. “I don’t want to go to jail!” ‘Greta’ responds. “I look forward to seeing you. Be well, and I’ll see you soon,” the senator promises. Kamala Harris, ‘pranked’ by Russian comedians posing as Greta Thunberg, ‘accepts’ hoax kompromat on Trump https://www.rt.com/news/498748-kamala-harris-greta-thunberg-prank-call/ It seems pranksters Vovan and Lexus have successfully duped another politician, with audio suggesting Democrat VP nominee Kamala Harris was eager to accept a fake recording of Donald Trump, believing the caller was Greta Thunberg. Vovan and Lexus, whose real names are Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov, posed as the teenage climate activist and her father Svante to make a phone call in January to Harris, just months before she became Joe Biden’s running mate. “Congratulations on all your leadership. I’m so inspired by your courage and your voice,” Sen. Harris (D-California) tells the pranksters, in the audio clip obtained by The Sun. The duo then claim they have “dirt” on Trump that could prove helpful to Harris, in the form of a recording of the president telling Thunberg “you will never achieve your goal.” “I’m so terrified of what Trump is doing, I even cannot eat or sleep when I see him on TV. That terrible meeting in the UN building in September – I have nightmares. I saw him in the corridor and shouted to him to sign the Paris climate agreement. He came over and he said softly to me, ‘You will never achieve the goal,’” the fake ‘Greta’ says. After Greta offers her support to Harris’s campaign, ‘Svante’ tells the senator that the conversation between Trump and his daughter was recorded and asks if the recording would be helpful to her. Harris appears to accept the offer. “That would be wonderful,” she says. She also accepts an offer from ‘Greta’ to testify against Trump. The phone call then ends with the pranksters enthusing about the prospect of meeting Harris soon and begging her to “not arrest us” – a joke whose double meaning would’ve completely escaped her. “No, no, no!” Harris assures them. “I don’t want to go to jail!” ‘Greta’ responds. “I look forward to seeing you. Be well, and I’ll see you soon,” the senator promises. ...

UPDATED: The constitutional basis of jurisdiction for the national guard to impose presence at elections -- USA Coup yet to be averted.
by Zenaan Harkness 06 Nov '20

06 Nov '20

The constitutional basis of jurisdiction for the national guard to impose presence at elections. The federation republic requires and relies upon, integrity of election. Without election integrity, the federal republic is fundamentally undermined, in its existence, in its interity, in its very essence. Election by the people is the fundemental event which creates the federal republic. Here's the thing: The states have no exlusive jurisdiction over votes or over vote counting. The people are inherently vested with some federal jurisdiction. Indeed they are the fundamental sovereignty giving rise to all political institutions and entities, which cannot exist without the vote of the people, and may not operate even in the minutest except with that jurisdiction granted by the people who are, who be, and who remain the ultimate sovereigns. Put in the first person: without our individual and collective authority, no political entity lewfully exists: - not the state - not local councils - not burroughs - not the federation, the federal republic - not any polling "authority" In this specific context of voting, and vote counting, and vote count monitoring, each individual human is a higher authority than any local "election official" who acts fundamentally illegally, and or immorally, and or without historical precedent and in particular when s/he acts against the interests of: - the voter - the state - the federal republic - any other entity arising (any organ of any government) If a standing army or militia means anything at all (and it certainly does) then it is one particular form of the collective authority of the people. Learn to EXERCISE THAT AUTHORITY people - not as an individual, not as vigilante, but calmly, peacefully and collectively as that righteous and upstanding authority which brings despotism to heel, which brings forth the actual, lived (now) authority of the people! Do it! Get in comm with others. Live your right to bring integrity to your election. Without integrity in your election, your republic is lost, despotism shall reign. Similarly to the standing army of the people, also the Sheriffs in their own right, and the National Guard in their own right, each have similar authority to right wrongs, to bring forth integrity in a vote, election, vote count, etc. Bearing arms is more than owning arms. It is like baring /bearing teeth. There is a time and place to live certain rights, now is that time, so send this to the people you know who need to hear it. Without the people, there is not even a constitution. Iy you, we, the people, need to, we can do just about anything. We are the original sovereignty, the original authority, and the original voice after our maker - so USE IT! You can (with others) ANNUL certain votes/ elections due to true (factual) and righteous grounds. Figure it out. Make it happen. Your president asked you to stand back and stand by, and to protect your great second amendment. Is now the moment to stand forth with others and help bring justice and righteousness to this earth? Only YOU can answer that question. You don't have much time left, but you do have enough time (you can annul, re-run elections, declare vote dumps illegal etc - just do it with others to be safe, and to be effective! Good luck people, your nation is at stake and it looks from Australia that your president needs you NOW.

trump lost, bitcoin 15% up.
by Punk-BatSoup-Stasi 2.0 06 Nov '20

06 Nov '20

between 4 and 5 november btc went from 13500 to almost 16000. You can either 'interpret' that as the 'market' celebrating trump's defeat, or if you believe in 'prediction markets' bullshit, you can pretend that 'the market' 'predicted' trump's victory and got it completely wrong OR it 'predicted' trump's defeat and valued it as good thing.. Either way, it doesn't look too good for 'cyber' 'libertarian' trumpofascists.

U.S. Feds Seized Nearly $1 Billion in Bitcoin from Wallet Linked to Silk Road
by jim bell 06 Nov '20

06 Nov '20

https://www.vice.com/en/article/akdgz8/us-feds-seize-1-billion-in-bitcoin-f… Dark Markets are a great idea. But, the people who run Dark Markets need to learn from their mistakes. Even in 2013, I pointed out that Dark Markets should be protected from seizure and prosecution with an AP-type system, where a small portion of the 'profits' are retained and offerred to anybody who "predicts" the date of death of anyone who attempts to prosecute any Dark Market. Judges, prosecutors, witnesses, even jurors if that should turn out to be necessary. And, perhaps, a rather serious reward for any jurors that participate in an acquittal or even 'hung jury'. What if $1 million was offerred, to be split between all jurors who vote to acquit, and if none of them do, $1 million was offered on the heads of those same jurors? This news item indicates that $1 billion in bitcoin (today's value) was available in 2015. If a person is now resigned to lose it, he should have been willing to lose it in 2015, or even earlier, in order to avoid having his Dark Market taken down. Unlike my 'traditional' proposed AP system, this kind of system wouldn't name specific names, since no names would be immediately known: It would only be known who the targets will be once the prosecution begins.

However, the 'consolation prize' is that it is so obvious that a 'coup' is attempted that I am satisfied that a segment of the public will be outraged. The people at the FBI and DOJ who deliberately failed to properly investigate Biden's fraud, and failed to publicize it, can be investigated by hearings in the Senate. > > > > > > > > > > Jim Bell > > > > > On Tuesday, November 3, 2020, 11:02:35 PM PST, jim bell <jdb10987(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > Fortunately, "the coup" was stopped. But it wasn't the coup some people anticipated. In 2016, the leadership of the FBI attempted a coup, by the trick of refusing to prosecute Hitlery Clinton for violations of the Espionage Act. Comey knew that if Hitlery had been indicted, she definitely would have lost. He hoped that by not indicting Hitlery, she might win. He chose the only path available to him that might let her win. Yet, she didn't win, anyway. That's why I called that an "attempted coup". > > > > > In December 2019, the FBI was given a computer laptop which contained Hunter Biden's hard drive information. The public only learned of this information in late September 2020, which seemed to be too late to expose what Joe and Hunter Biden had been doing, playing footsie with Ukraine and China. So by concealing this information, once again the FBI tried to stage a coup, hoping that the public would only learn, too late, how this crook had been foisted on them. > > > > > I can only assume that the public smelled a rat, and decided that they didn't dare give control of the Federal government to Joe Biden for four years. > > > > > Not incidentally, on Election Day, Joe Biden confused the names of his two granddaughters, and introduced one of them as his dead son, Beau Biden. > > > > > And this guy wanted us to give his finger authority over the nuclear button!

"I chew gum, and I blow up missile shipments to Venezuela" - [ENJOY] [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 04 Nov '20

Folks 2020 ist going to be ze funny-est year of zis millenium. Fer sure muffaducka :D So!: "I chew gum, and I blow up missile shipments to Venezuela. Oh ... und I am all outta gum!" HA! Did not expect this headline folks. Movie coming up no doubt, but whether it's 2 years or 22 years is anyone's guess at this point :) US Vows To Blow Up Any Iranian Missile Shipments To Venezuela https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-vows-blow-any-iranian-missile-shi… You know how it SHOULD go down - movie called "Tommy Strikes": US navy steams into position from Sat intel prep, considers lives on board Iranian missile shipment, literally by ship, to Venezuela, presently still on the high seas. Cut to submarine shot 'cause subs are cool, especially in a Navy special ops movie :) Rivetting moment as camera pans very serious faces, all immaculately dressed on bridge of the USS Teddy. It's dusk (better light effects for the fireworks to come). Captain is serious, very serious. CIA suits are laser dotting a big paper plan of Eye-ranian ship on cap'ns table as flippered navy seals maintain piercing gaze and ears on every word dropped. "'K lads, this how we goin down to day: the Eye-ranians are back on comms in 7 minutes. They got a light crew - 17 Souls on board. But they missiles are gunna make the evening sky look like midday when Tommy strikes. [laughter all around]" A flipper lad speaks up: "Sir!?" Suit: "Yes son?" Flipper lad: "What the hell's this preacher fo?! Sir!" Suit: "Conscience, lad! But more 'n that, we're shootin over 3 powered lifeboats - 10 Eye-ranians in each, if they wanna [more chuckles], and one fo spare, just in case they under reeportin dey numbers - happens all the time. [mo chuckels] They'll have 20 minutes to avoid the fireworks." Flipper lad again: "" Suit: "I probably shouldnta say 'shootin' just yet. COME on son, y'all know what I mean - life boats are GOIN over there!" [mo chuckels] Suit: "Any more questions? And NONE outta YOU!" [points to smart arse] Chuckles, nods and grunts. ... Did I mention "Tommy Strikes" is a little bit trollish? Welp, it's a little bit trollish ;)

Cryptocurrency: AnCap Satcoms (re: Starlink Puts Satellite Internet to Shame)

> Bell wrote: > https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/316819-starlink-beta-speed-tests-put-tr… How much did the various "cube satellite" projects cost to get payload space on the launch carrier? Seems that cryptocurrency ancap folks are now certainly able to buy space and launch an independent uncensorable physical network of cubesats into space, whether as transponders / repeaters for people to simply bounce off of, or as a mesh of relay nodes making up an actual network protocol. The above general data transport is much different and more advanced than what the Bitcoin-BTC folks are doing with a simple uplink of a full node to a sat to broadcast the blockchain down. Crowdfund, crypto pay to access, distribute rotating access keys on blockchain, or just leave open to everyone for anonymous access limited only by ability to learn and use GNURadio... a natural free incentive toward many more people becoming invloved with Guerilla radio comms, meshnets, cryptocurrency, crypto, etc. Of course some govts would try to knock them down, physically, or via HERF...
