Re: IQNets, Tor, "Dumpster Fires"

[If this arrives twice, that's b/c the first one from nearly 3 hours ago did not arrive on the list.] Karl, your failure to fix your email client or to use a proper client, causes replying to your emails to involve annoying extra work every time: - no List-ID header, so I'm having to "reply all" and delete the other recipients, or to manually add the list address back in - duplicate emails from you, consistently Feel free to continue to burden those who would otherwise attempt to engage with you, but I'm almost out of tuits. I'll give it one more shot, in the hope that you will begin to use a proper email client. -------------------- Regarding the below, a quick yandex search brings up this: https://www.yandex.com/search/?text=%2Bchaff%20site%3Atorproject.org&lr=101… .. Passive attacks are correlation based on observations. Do not underestimate this. With the NSA's fangs on literally every fiber optic cable and in every exchange they can weasel into, GPA. They are difficult to defeat unless you are filling the network with fill traffic such that they can't tell wheat from chaff. Tor doesn't do this. .. At this point the middle node could also randomly appends 5-10% binary chaff to the streams to obfuscate the size. .. My understanding is that Navy intelligence wanted a tool they could use on the open net to hide operatives. If only MI used it, they'd be identifiable by fingerprint of the software. So we are just chaff for the NSA, under that theory, to hide them hiding what they wish to keep hidden themselves. Tor users may be the only secrets left safe, if the NSA hasn't built better yet. ;) .. So, the Tor Project is under no illusion about chaff. The issue is not that they don't know about it, but that they may not implement chaff fill. That would cause serious problems for their ability to track and deanonymize who is talking to who etc. Once again, you appear to be labouring under the illusion that those whom you acknowledge have already censored/banned you (another example of "your superiors"), are good people "doing their best" who are perhaps just a little misguided but for the enlightenment you are about to bring to them. Karl, could there be a lesson here for you? You might find there are a few castaways on this list who used to post on the tor email list(s), but got banned and/or censored, just like you ...

ideology
by таракан 26 Jul '20

26 Jul '20

I registered to that mailing list for a few weeks by now. My surprise: no ideology, no thoughts, no 'operative' or 'operational' intelligence but only 'passive' intelligence, just forwarding events like synapses would transmit messages. (I don't say that specifically for you Jim Bell, whether you are the 'real' Jim bell or a fake) Using ideas, not 'raw feelings' is a mark of 'superior' intelligence. Using 'concepts' not 'news' is equivalent mark. Our 'post-whatever-modern-oindustrial' societies destroy intelligence to replace it by a fog , a swamp , a cloud of diffuse 'feelings'; 'desires' and other such brownian movement orientated stuff. Try to read Spinoza: Axioms... theorems in terms of philosophy Concepts, theoiry, demonstration, examples... Constatation, analysis, synthesis ... whatever ... I read the Cypherpunk manifesto... in other words: "me want privacy" It's even an idea, as basic as it is. Ecven the Unabomber manifesto has more ideas : "me againt technology,m technology bad... cannot say why" Funny enough both manifesto were written by mathematicians. I am also a mathematician. Not all mathematicians are like Pascal or Descartes. A mathematician is an expert in logic, symbolic abstraction and have learn how to manipulate a bunch of abstract things ranging from Algrabra to Functional Analysis or Algebraic Geometry. Unfortunatelky being able of expressing ideas and ideology is an other problem... I'm always amaze at example like Mr cedric villani... a medal fields prize who turned into politics but unable to express more ideas than ... 'one whould clean the dog's shit of Paris..." or "there should be politics for velibs (rent-a-bike from the town administration) " @Jim bell (if you are the right one) What your years in jail brought to your mind? What sort of ideology? Concepts ? Sometimes I think that dying is easy but surviving is hard. The same I think going to jail is easy but defeating a bunch of special agents with guns is hard... ---------- CRYPTOANALYZER ---------- Sent from [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.ch), encrypted email based in Switzerland.

Foundations for Action
by Zenaan Harkness 26 Jul '20

26 Jul '20

For those who missed the memo, we're in a conversation. Right now in the West this is a community wide conversation as we face certain critical junctures in history. It is not only poignant and important but literally game changing, and an urgent last minute call to higher principles. For example Kek's meme army memed "the orange man" into the presidency (along with a lot of prayer from those who pray, and certain great sacrifices). Feel free to join this conversation - we will share the outcome, either chaos and rapid destruction, or a steady recovery and rebuild of relationships. Breaking habits can be tough, with withdrawals, headaches, occasional relapses and drying out periods, but with a stern father figure and guiding hand (Putin) we can get through this; we must! Let's also remind ourselves that we are all human. Where possible in this conversation try to help your "opponent" to understand his own words when your "Stupid O Meter" highlights for you how stupid his words are; consider responding with a sentence beginning with "Did you mean ..." or "Are you trying to say that ..." It is convenient to use the "royal we" that is to use "we" (or "our" etc) to refer to either our whole community or any subset - if the true meaning is unclear to you, that's an opportunity to join the convo and ask for clarification. When the royal "we" is used, it often is not meant to imply that the writer is necessarily included in the group referred to. Example 1: Pragmatism ----------------------- Pragmatism has its place, but it often has its price! Pragmatism is in many circumstances a reasonable "default fallback", e.g. when in doubt. Pragmatism also appears to be the dominant old school modality for our trusted deep state allies - yes, we use the word "trusted" in a generous way as not only a figure of speech, but as a prayer for a future for our children of peace between nations; let's call it a pragmatic choice :) The problem with pragmatism is its limits - without the higher guiding principles, "pragmatism" justifies torture, murder, and for example the revolving turnstyle in Iran of regime change de-installing one leader and system for another, followed by later de-installing your new "puppet" and re-installing the old, just to later turn around and do it all again in repeated reversing repetition; and the obvious result is a cluster-check of distrust, instability, international condemnation, and generally fear. All in the name of pragmatism. And this has of course been repeated all over the place including Iraq, Turkey and Libya. Given the West's regime change antics, it is no wonder we are on the precipice of the same sword. The will to use evil on another, justifies that evil befalling ourselves - karma or "do unto others that which you would have them do unto you". Despotic pragmatism has so universally dominated the CIA that the CIA's present Director Gina Haspel has reportedly engaged in / authorized / upheld / publicly supported, torture (named by the despotic euphemism "enhanced interrogation techniques"). One wonders what happened to Ms Haspel in her younger years… Torture must be forever taken off the table, and publicly renounced, unambiguously, and permanently. The Western regime is on the precipice of destruction. We must repent of our evils. We must cast evil from our "toolbox" of foundations for action. We must stop justifying all manner of evils as the means to reach "the 'good' ends". For starters, "our deep state buddies" must actually renounce, and actually refrain from, certain evils including: - torture - extrajudicial killing aka murder - violent regime change of client (or "enemy") states (Feel free to add other evils which we must cast from the West!) Without actually renouncing, denouncing and refraining from, torture (for one example), no mandate from heaven can be in operation (duh!) and instead the wrath of heaven must descend, and if that's hard to understand, pray you be guided as to why righteous humans would uphold, or destroy, a nation. If "you" (CIA, FBI, employees, etc) struggle to find righteous foundations for action within yourself or within your department, you are in urgent need of crowdsourcing some righteousness immediately! Achieving that might mean a public dialog of some sort, possibly whistleblowing, or perhaps something else, but at this point in history we cannot afford to fail on such basic moral/spiritual principles; act accordingly. Some have paid a very high, yet honourable price, their lives: from Seth Rich to the Donbass region for example, and to honour their sacrifices we must do more than carry on as before, we must instead lift our game, live a higher ethic, do all that we can to atone for such evils and to bring forth righteousness. Example 2: Russia blaming --------------------------- There is not much that is more insulting to the plain thinking man than years of ridiculous "Russia blaming" and hoaxing. Not only is it the most blunt tool in the clown box, it is undignified, demeaning, spreading of lies and falsehoods, and from a diplomatic perspective, hands over a continual stream of wins to our "Russkie brothers", which come to think of it is not such a bad thing - for them :/ But remember this my fellow doofuses: every time you dump on Russia, you have given up, lost and foresaken another opportunity for someone in the West (someone of at least nominal authority) to put forth humility, to put forth dignity, to begin the process of ownership and cleansing and therefore the redemption and healing that the West so desperately needs. We cannot afford, politically OR spiritually, to continue spitting on such opportunities for redemption. If you can't immediately find some politician sufficiently non-compromised to take the public soap box for Western dignity and redemption, then get to work and find someone, make someone or mold someone, and while you're at it, turf those who are compromised to the wolves; it's a funny thing about demons, once the righteous start to speak publicly, there's a point at which the demons turn on one another and devour one another (mostly figuratively) and at that point our job of catalyzing redemption is almost done. Example 3: Domination and client states ----------------------------------------- The old testament is "an eye for an eye", the zero sum resource game, "I want the word plus 5%" aka usury and cyclical chaos. The new testament is the Star Trek economy, awesome abundance, discernment and discrimination with appropriately placed (+ neither naieve nor foolish) forgiveness, e.g. of certain debts (once again, Putin has lead the way on this blindingly simple tool). Domination and "client state regime change" is founded in the Old Testament of fear, wrath, war, and the deception of "power as the highest principle". Abundance demands trust in others, even some faith (OMG, shawk!), and admits of healthy group dynamics from nationalism, to vertical integration at every level, to cooperation and bilateral agreements. We are creative, and given at least half a chance we shall bring forth even more abundance and more delights, more joy. Notes: With the recent Russian referendum and the probability of Putin being elected for two additional terms, we in the West have been granted a small yet greatly needed breathing space - IF we use it wisely! We must NOT take November for granted. We EACH play a role, no matter how small; do your bit to lift up another this day, to ease the burden, to remind that we must live better, in truth, in dignity, in righteousness. It's easy to understand, and it's actually pretty easy to do - a little bit here, tiny bit there and we're rolling together in the healthy direction. Let's create our shared world.

Gaynor: Free Speech update: Garry Burns is bankrup

25 Jul '20

Awesome news folks, the New South Wales Anti-Discrimination Board (in NSW, Australia) "is on the verge of a catastrophic defeat"!!! Fan, freaking, tastic, BatMan! Not quite there yet on this front, but thousands have contributed from their wallets, from their prayers, and from their moral support to Bernard and his family - they went through some really tough times, even before Covid tought us the meaning of "tough" <:D>. Seriously, Gaynor is a trooper and so many have played their small part. It ain't over yet either! Cancel culture might have just taken a hit, but there's a metric tonne to go yet. Stay the course! Pray, muffas! Pray for righteousness, for justice to prevail, and for those good men under attack to find the strength within to stay the course of truth and justice.

I have written some thoughts about Burns' bankruptcy here (https://bernardgaynor.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2f7e1c8c95718aa155…) . And this piece highlights (https://bernardgaynor.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2f7e1c8c95718aa155…) the important victories that we have achieved since this farcical saga first began. You will not hear about these victories in the mainstream media. When we take stock, it is clear that the New South Wales anti-discrimination industry is on the verge of a catastrophic defeat. These victories are proof that conservatives can win. They are also proof that those who attack us have complete disregard for the law. However, there is still work to be done. I still have legal costs to pay and still face proceedings in the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal, NSW Local Court, NSW Supreme Court and High Court of Australia. If you wish to assist, please donate here. (https://bernardgaynor.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2f7e1c8c95718aa155…) I have also commenced action to examine Garry Burns' financial affairs.

USA status check

For those who care, a quick status check on the USA; it's quite precarious: A Stress Test For A Straining Superpower Patrick Buchanan via Buchanan.org, https://buchanan.org/blog/stress-test-of-a-straining-superpower-138961 https://www.zerohedge.com/political/stress-test-straining-superpower ... From the protests, riots, rampages and statue-smashing of the last two months, it is apparent that millions of Americans detest our history and heroes. Though nowhere in recorded time have 42 million people of African descent achieved the measures of freedom and prosperity they have in the USA, we are daily admonished that ours is a rotten and sick society whose every institution is shot through with “systemic racism.” ...

Re: Personal Black Box?
by jim bell 25 Jul '20

25 Jul '20

The following article alleges many things. I think most, and maybe all of them are true. But the problem is that the victims of these incidents cannot readily prove these claims, simply because records (video and audio) are not sufficiently-completely kept. https://www.revolver.news/2020/07/antifa-attacks-michelle-malkin-denver/ Partial quote follows: "What these “tough guys” [conservatives advocating Michelle Malkin bring weapons] don’t understand is that in 2020 America, American patriots demonstrating in favor of the police do not enjoy equal protection under the law compared to violent Antifa paramilitary operatives. Indeed, Malkin points out that unlike the overweight female Antifa member in question, if Malkin had displayed a weapon she would have been arrested and thrown in jail. The general principle involved is known as “Anarcho-Tyranny.” Antifa and BLM operatives are granted the license to loot, destroy, and visit violence upon ordinary Americans, and the police will look the other way. Yet, the second that ordinary Americans begin to defend themselves, law enforcement, generally at the behest of an Antifa-aligned District Attorney, will throw the full force of the United States Justice system at them. In other words, anarchy and no rules for Antifa, tyranny and maximal restrictions for Americans who dare to resist. The security forces will allow Antifa to attack Americans, but will arrest Americans who dare to defend themselves. That is the “rule of law” in 2020 America. The conclusion near the 16:54 timestamp is especially poignant, with Malkin concluding that one “cannot rely on the police.” The only people who can rely on the police in many of these situations, it seems are the Antifa aggressors themselves. [end of partial quote] [Further partial quote] REVOLVER NOTE: As disturbing as this incident is, it is entirely in keeping with our earlier analysis of Antifa: > It is also important to note that despite their [Antifa-style groups] stated self-concept, such groups are NOT truly subversive in the sense of undermining the interests of the ruling class. Middle-class America, and particularly white middle-class America, remains the single force with the expectations and organizational capacity to stand in the way of the corrupt ruling class’ plans for total, full spectrum hegemony over the population. What these groups like BLM and Antifa are doing are increasingly acting as a genocidal paramilitary force on behalf of the corrupt ruling elite to neutralize this last remaining impediment to ruling class control. > These groups are ugly, evil, dangerous, and destructive—but they are NOT fundamentally subversive. The subversive Americans are the emerging elite who dare to speak up against the ruling class and are brutally silenced for it. Indeed, Antifa is not, properly speaking, a group of violent thugs, and they are certainly not the “university snowflakes” that many delusional but well-meaning conservatives like to dismiss them as. The reality is much darker. Antifa functions as a paramilitary force for the corrupt ruling class that controls the United States of America. Read our coverage on how Antifa and BLM strategically used “peaceful protestors” to take over Minneapolis. Michelle Malkin was kind enough to mention this Revolver News piece in a recent Newsmax interview. UPDATE: DENVER POLICE NOW ADMITTED THEY STOOD DOWN TO ALLOW ANARCHY TO PROCEED [end partial quote] Jim Bell's comments follow: In part, my advocacy for making available a device which I call a "Personal Black Box" is to allow people to document misbehavior by cops. Nevertheless, I think it is equally important for people to be able to document misconduct by protestors/rioters. Above, there is a statement: "The reality is much darker. Antifa functions as a paramilitary force for the corrupt ruling class that controls the United States of America." Indeed, there is a historic parallel: The "Brownshirts". "The Sturmabteilung (SA; German pronunciation: [ˈʃtʊɐ̯mʔapˌtaɪlʊŋ] (listen)), literally Storm Detachment, was the Nazi Party's original paramilitary wing. It played a significant role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s. Its primary purposes were providing protection for Nazi rallies and assemblies, disrupting the meetings of opposing parties, fighting against the paramilitary units of the opposing parties, especially the Red Front Fighters League (Rotfrontkämpferbund) of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), and intimidating Romani, trade unionists, and, especially, Jews – for instance, during the 1933 Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses." I think people should be able to document these kinds of incidents, as well. Jim Bell

"totally normal + non-suspicious" urgent document burning at Houston Chinese consulate - [PEACE]
