"The world is not sliding, but galloping into a new transnational dystopia. This development has not been properly recognized outside of national security circles. It has been hidden by secrecy, complexity and scale. The internet, our greatest tool of emancipation, has been transformed into the most dangerous facilitator of totalitarianism we have ever seen. The internet is a threat to human civilization." quote from assange in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypherpunks_(book) Now, there are two mistakes on that quote. First, assage in misspelling ARPANET as internet. Second, the arpanet was never a 'tool of emancipation'. It was always a threat to human civilization and the "the most dangerous facilitator of totalitarianism we have ever see" no wonder non-human scum like musk is trying to further expand the reach of the arpanet.

----- Forwarded message from Zenaan Harkness <zen(a)freedbms.net> ----- From: Zenaan Harkness <zen(a)freedbms.net> To: "Mr Gerrit H. Schorel-Hlavka O.W.B." <inspector_rikati(a)yahoo.com.au> Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2020 22:29:43 +1000 Subject: Re: Fw: see attachment 20200803-PRESS RELEASE Mr G. H. Schorel-Hlavka O.W.B. ISSUE -ROYAL COMMISSION into COVID-19 issues is badly needed-suppl 10-Relative Hi Gerrit, thank you for your persistence of Australian constitutional understanding/ principles. On this Coronavirus, which was called "an exercise" by USA secretary of state Pompeo (from memory - this was near the start in February), I am actually happy to go along with this "exercise" or "drill" if: - If the government does a full economic divorce with China, to make sure we nip their "ascendency" in the bud, just before they were about to become next global financial power. - That we re-industrialize Australia and the USA, and - Bring in tarriffs again, so that Australians have a fair playing field for our own jobs and our own products. What was done in the past was treasonous against Australians, and I believe against our constitution. Communist Chinese history shows how bad the world would be under Chinese rule - from Tianenmen Square to the Tibetan ethnic cleansing, China has shown that the CCP would be really terrible, at least for us Westerners who are used to some basic levels of freedoms and "right to peaceful protest" etc. I stand with many others at the ready for intense and prolonged fight however, if anything resembling "mandatory vaccinations" or ID microchipping comes along! This COVID shutdown is at least nominally on the basis of the righteous foundation of a quarantine issue, which would rightfully be a Federal matter constitutionally. As long as this is used to divorce with China, and as long as it is not used to institute certain dictatorial and human rights abusing regimes, then I am not going to personally fight the issue of wearing masks, or of staying home for a few months. It seems obvious to me that China has violated their contracts with the international bankers - they were shipped most of our factories and took most of our jobs, and were just about to be crowned the new financial Empire of the world (say, for the next century), but was NOT supposed to build their military, and was supposed to abide by the rulings of the International Court of Arbitration (amongst others). And, China started ignoring the rulings of these courts they signed agreements to be a part of. And, China is now rapidly building their military. So, clearly China broke their contracts with the Rothschilds "world" bankers. And then to top it all off, China locked Wuhan down REALLY HARD, and did largely protect the rest of China - basically zero Covid-19 cases in Beijing and all the other major population centers in China, BUT, China shipped out their Wuhan residents BY THE PLANE-LOAD, to the rest of the world - to countries like Australia, USA, etc. So when it comes to Chinese lives, China protects them, but when it comes to non-Chinese lives, China did NOT exercise any duty of care to us, and was RECKLESS in sending thousands of their citizens to other countries. China also harvests human organs from their Falun Gung prisoners (Falun Gung is basically a simplified version of Tai Chi), which is simply terrible, and we should not do business with such a regime. If you want to learn more about the nature of the Chinese in relation to power and in relation to other humans, a Chinese woman wrote a somewhat lengthy book to inform us and to warn us, called "Thick Face, Black Heart". In my opinion, as an international "partner" of any sort, China, in particular the CCP, is a menace. So in conclusion, the above might explain why some people may support an economic divorce from China - it is not just about our own jobs (but it's also about jobs and looking after our own people). It appears, in a real sense, that there was a choice between the Rothschilds bankers, and the CCP as overlords, and I do not hesitate at all to choose the Rothschilds over the CCP, and I make no apology for doing so! Finally, if there is any possibility that the Chinese (who reportedly stole the original Covid-19 samples from a Canadian bio laboratory) may choose to launch a bio attack against the West, then it might actually be wise that we in the West are having this "trial run" and learning how and when to wear masks, and learning to prepare with some extra rice and water in storage - these preparations are not a bad thing for us to be doing. We also have the real opportunity to reach out to our neighbours, to lend a helping hand or at least a word of moral support. This financial divorce with China which seems to be underway, is not going slowly, in fact I think it is going rather quickly. We should have a little patience with the authorities as they too are learning how to conduct themselves in this new situation. We should especially not target any particular group of people, either ethnicity or job sector - we are Australians, and we all deserve dignity. For those who want to target something, simply call out bad behaviour, or bad actions where someone is hurt or treated badly, and where you can, offer help.

This is not a drill - old(ish) white woman in humble shack, attacked by Antifa - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 10 Aug '20

10 Aug '20

This is not a drill folks, this is what is happening, where an older-ish white woman probably a bit mentally deficient (she's wearing a Nazi arm band) and who rents a humble shack and is just trying to cope with the radical changes happening in our society, is physically confronted with young men and women trespassing on her property, refusing to leave her alone, trying to rip her arm band off (seriously, there are no bonus points for wearing such arm bands folks, don't do that!), and repeatedly shout/scream at her and push her around, and they promised to return and have her shack attacked - these are 'your' (America's) Antifa college "grads" who are so confident they are bringing a better world by doing this to this older woman, are so confident that they have finally found an "American Nazi", that they uploaded a video of all this to twitter: An American Nazi in East Portland https://t.co/DR2u8dLyJ0 pic.twitter.com/DR2u8dLyJ0 — Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) August 6, 2020 This is not a drill. This is a war of sorts. We must take a stand, for righteousness and dignity (for EVERYbody) - do not be the Mugwud bird who shits on one side of the fence. These "educated" college grads delivered on their earlier promise to return and vandalize her property: Woman Who Wore Swastika Armband Denies Being a Nazi to Portland Protesters # ~9.4 MiB http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cbHmX_ZYjg Next time it could be someone you care about...

These upper-middle class Antifa communist weirdos apparently genuinely believe that this poor woman in her shack is what is wrong with American society, and they are openly siding with billionaire Jews who control all of the banks, the government, and virtually all industry against this woman in her shack. ...

extracts from Mikovits' book
by Zenaan Harkness 10 Aug '20

10 Aug '20

Some extracts from Judy Mikovits' book "Plague of Corruption" - hand picked by our ever conscientious Leo :) ------- Editorial review of Dr Judy Mikovits latest book ‘Plague of Corruption’ consisting of extracts directly from the book. - Many viruses are composed of DNA, but a retrovirus is composed of RNA and it was thought that RNA was a precursor of DNA, used by more primitive organisms, or as found in animals. - Pathogens made of RNA, like retroviruses need an enzyme to transform their RNA into DNA and insert itself into the hosts DNA blue print in order for the virus to survive. - A retrovirus as found in animal tissue cannot live or replicate without using the machinery of the host cell. - The enzyme retroviruses used to change their RNA into DNA is called transcriptase. - I consider the presence of reverse transcriptase in a disease to be almost a smoking gun evidence of a retrovirus being involved. - Retroviruses are enveloped viruses possessing an RNA genome and replicate via a DNA intermediate. - Retroviruses rely on the enzyme reverse transcriptase of its genome with an integrase enzyme. - DNA can remain in a latent form in the genome or its RNA can be expressed intermittently as infectious virions. - Retroviruses are made up of RNA and once transcribed into DNA, they can go into that organism and slumber for extended periods of time or can under the right circumstances, spew forth infectious particles. - One would think that this series of facts was worthy of a national emergency but nothing has been done to stop it, instead the reputations of the whistle blowers are usually destroyed, discounting any other views. - So simply put: When you mix animal and human tissue together, there’s a risk that infectious agents present in the animals may cross over into the human cells. - The viruses were most likely dormant in the animal, but when put into humans; they may wake up and become active. - So this is breaking down the barriers nature has erected so that pathogens of one species cannot be easily transferred to humanity and vice versa. - Endogenous retroviruses that are infectious for human cells in vitro have been detected in many species, including baboons, cats, mice and pigs. - Retroviruses can affect you in ways that are different from those normally associated with your typical virus. - Transmission is ‘silent’ meaning your body’s immune system is not alerted to fight this invader. - If this is not bad enough, our little retrovirus will get busy changing your gene expression in unpredictable ways, promoting the development of cancer or recombining with other pathogens in your body to create new monsters. END OF EXTRACT. ADDED: A simple question, what is worse, the CV19 or the vaccination results as described by Judy????? ------- Cheers, Zen

Cryptoanarchism writecode vs SJW style methods [re: mentions child gangs slave in source]

Master/slave? Some internet forums are, discussing that surely tickets must now too be filed across all OSS projects demanding removal some of the newly approved words (and even more old ones not yet found analysed and latched on by triggersphere) such as 'dependant', 'dependency', 'child', etc for being say extremely debilitating triggers regarding many peoples and nations former status and horrible experiences while as such or under such authoritarian forces, and are noting oddity why SJWs are not filing those tickets too, opening possible reality their raging being symptom apparent that maybe need therapy, some love puddles, attention at their time to address some self issues on those words... or not. What is the word graph there among the various camps. As they saying, who knows. But does seem they forgot to destroy some devices in their PC's first to set proper example. Now they know and can stage protest showcasing their action therein to youtube. And must destroy whole PC too because the firmware, CPU, manufacturers are all littered with such words... their entire machine is one big trigger baked in silicon ;) https://duckduckgo.com/?iax=images&ia=images&q=hard+drive+master+slave+jump… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o25I2fzFGoY Carlin on the matter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1FxfR3lg6Q Simpsons pressure to signal Of far more important matter to this forum... Remember, authoritarians also deploying some of the same SJW style methods to condition you susceptible so that you will remove strong crypto, decentralization, privacy, p2p, anonymity, cryptocurrency, distributed voluntary cooperation, etc... the very cypherpunk cryptoanarchism... from your code. Be aware of that, don't fall susceptible, continue writing the cypherpunk code of cryptoanarchism. May it yield a more free peaceful forceless loving world. " I strongly suspect the people who are pushing for these things fall into two camps. The first camp are people who genuinely want to control the language, and by proxy, thought. These are very dangerous people and should be resisted at all times. The second camp are people who genuinely want to do something so they can be a part of this current trend and feel like they are participating in a meaningful way. These are ordinary decent people, but are certainly influenced by the bluster and actions of the first camp. Here's the thing, though. If you're in the second camp, your actions will not save you from the first camp. The authoritarians in the first camp are fundamentally about control, and if you stand in their way, your past actions will mean nothing. Anything less than complete subservience to whatever ideology is currently in vogue in the first camp, is treated as a viral attack and is stamped out with extreme prejudice. Your past capitulation will not serve you in the future. Nobody--at least nobody with a lick of sense or proportion--actually thinks that changing "master/slave" to something else will accomplish anything of substance or real value. It's nothing more than a publicity stunt to demonstrate that you are not like those people over there, the racists. It's a signal of your adherence to the new narrative, nothing more. The authoritarians in the first camp will acknowledge your signal, and they now know that later you will be more likely to accept the next click on the ratchet. Make no mistake, however; when they ratchet it too far for you, nothing you did in the past will save you. It's the behavior of cults, and used to great effect at controlling behavior. What's surprising is how many tech people are susceptible to it. "

It was produced by a collaboration of researchers from Geneva (https://censorship.ai/) GFW Report (https://gfw.report/) and iYouPort (https://www.iyouport.org/) https://geneva.cs.umd.edu/posts/china-censors-esni/esni/ (English) https://geneva.cs.umd.edu/zh/posts/china-censors-esni/esni/ (Chinese) Here are some of the points most likely to be of interest to this group: * The detector is not merely matching on the lack of plaintext SNI; it is specifically looking for the ESNI extension 0xffce. * The ESNI detector only matches the ESNI encrypted_server_name extension 0xffce (draft-ietf-tls-esni-00 through -06), not the ECH extensions encrypted_client_hello 0xff02, ech_nonce 0xff03, outer_extension 0xff04 (draft-ietf-tls-esni-07). * The encrypted_server_name extension has to be syntactically correct; the detector is not just looking for the byte patter ff cc. * Once an ESNI-containing ClientHello is detected, the firewall drops packets in the client→server direction for 120 or 180 seconds. * The detector runs on all TCP ports, not just 443. This short payload is sufficient to trigger blocking: 160303003b0100003703035b72616e646f6d72616e646f6d72616e646f6d7261 6e646f6d72616e646f6d5d0000000100000effce000a53754772000000000000 Python code to generate this payload is appended to this message. Most of the functions of the Great Firewall work bidirectionally, and the ESNI detection and blocking are no exception. Sending an ESNI-containing ClientHello from *outside* of China to a server *inside* results in temporary blocking, just the same as sending one from the inside to the outside. This makes it easy to experiment with, even if you don't control a host in China. To experience ESNI blocking for yourself, choose a responsive TCP port in China (doesn't have to be port 443), for example www.tsinghua.edu.cn:80. Begin a TCP ping to the port, for example using one of these commands: hping3 -S www.tsinghua.edu.cn -p 80 nping -4 -c 0 --tcp-connect www.tsinghua.edu.cn -p 80 Then send the trigger payload: printf '\x16\x03\x03\x00\x3b\x01\x00\x00\x37\x03\x03[randomrandomrandomrandomrandom]\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x0e\xff\xce\x00\nSuGr\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' | nc -4 -v www.tsinghua.edu.cn 80 The TCP pings will stop receiving replies for 120 or 180 seconds, then will start back up again. ---- #!/usr/bin/env python3 # Generates a small TLS ClientHello that trigger's the GFW's ESNI detector. # Writes output to the file minimal.bin. import struct from scapy.all import * load_layer("tls") from scapy.layers.tls.all import * # https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8446#section-3.4 def var(ceiling, data): if ceiling < 256: fmt = ">B" elif ceiling < 65536: fmt = ">H" else: raise ValueError(ceiling) return struct.pack(fmt, len(data)) + data # https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-tls-esni-01#section-5 def encrypted_server_name(suite, group, key_exchange, record_digest, encrypted_sni): return struct.pack(">HH", suite, group) \ + var(65535, key_exchange) \ + var(65535, record_digest) \ + var(65535, encrypted_sni) clienthello = TLS( msg = TLSClientHello( gmt_unix_time = 0x5b72616e, # "[ran" random_bytes = b"domrandomrandomrandomrandom]", ciphers = [], ext = [ # The GFW detector requires a syntactically valid # server_name_extension, but the actual values it contains may be # nonsense.
