population stagnation - a genuwhine problem - facts that trigger - [MINISTRY] [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 06 Feb '19

Your mission, should you take it on in 2019, is to spread facts far, spread facts wide, push those facts as deep into virgin goy territory as they can possibly be pushed. Population stagnation was real problem around 1951, for one particularly troublesome tribe. Always remember, you're "not an anti-semite, just anti-termite". Peace, and create your factual world :)

censorship v free speech, not money, is a foundation for a free society/ world
by Zenaan Harkness 05 Feb '19

05 Feb '19

Communities exist without money, and have done so since time immemorial. But without our free right to communicate with one another, no community can survive, let alone flourish. Our basic human rights (to survive, communicate, move about in our community (travel)) are the foundations to any society that can ever approach the concept "a free society". Websites, in particular those website the (((media elites and those who control us))) don't like, are regularly simply blocked or semi blocked. And no "just use an ip address" or "private companies, they can do what they want" is no answer to the domination of our community, the domination of our peoples, that we experience. Each of the following sites currently blocked in Australia, even with javascripting enabled, but without an error, so semi-blocked, thus quite sinisterly undermining the freedom of communication we supposedly hail in "democracies": https://daviddukeonline.com/product-category/david-duke-report/ https://daviddukeonline.com/ https://davidduke.com/ https://daviddukeonline-eu.com And we know our "favourite" nationalist websites have been sent to the dark web to appear at all, looks like The Duke is similarly being sent to ground. This is your world, people. Good luck,

File your own Amicus Brief to the Court Now. Highest Court in Indiana Set to Decide If You Can Be Forced to Unlock Your Phone By Andrew Crocker February 4, 2019 When EFF preaches about the benefits of using device encryption on smartphones, one of the most frequent questions we get is whether the police can force you to turn over your passcode or unlock the device. The answer should be no. The Fifth Amendment states that no one can be forced to be “a witness against himself,” and we argue that the constitutional protection applies to forced decryption. Last week, we filed a brief making that case to the Indiana Supreme Court. The case began when Katelin Eunjoo Seo reported to law enforcement outside of Indianapolis that she had been the victim of a rape and allowed a detective to examine her iPhone for evidence. But the state never filed charges against Seo’s alleged rapist, identified by the court as “D.S.” (Courts often refer to minors using their initials.) Instead, the detective suspected that Seo was harassing D.S. with spoofed calls and texts, and she was ultimately arrested and charged with felony stalking. The state not only sought a search warrant to go through Seo's phone, but a court order to force her to unlock it. Seo refused, invoking her Fifth Amendment rights. The trial court held her in contempt, but an intermediate appeals court reversed. When the Indiana Supreme Court agreed to get involved, it took the somewhat rare step of inviting amicus briefs. EFF got involved because, as we say in our brief filed along with the ACLU and the ACLU of Indiana, the issue in Seo is “no technicality; it is a fundamental protection of human dignity, agency, and integrity that the Framers enshrined in the Fifth Amendment.” In recent years, courts have struggled with how to apply the Fifth Amendment’s privilege against self-incrimination to compelled decryption of encrypted devices. It’s well settled that the privilege protects against “testimonial” communications, which a 1957 Supreme Court case describes as those that require a person to disclose “the contents of his own mind.” It’s also clear that nonverbal acts can be testimonial, such as being forced to respond truthfully to police questioning with a “nod or headshake,” or to produce a gun that police believe was used in a crime. Even responding to a subpoena for documents can be a testimonial “act of production” because it reveals information about the existence and authenticity of the documents, and the subject’s possession of them. So what about being forced to tell police your password, or to unlock an iPhone? Our argument to the Indiana Supreme Court is that compelling Seo to enter her memorized passcode would be inherently testimonial because it reveals the contents of her mind. Obviously, if she were forced to verbally tell a prosecutor her password, it would be a testimonial communication. By extension, the act of forced unlocking is also testimonial. First, it would require a modern form of written testimony, the entry of the passcode itself. Second, it would rely on Seo’s mental knowledge of the passcode and require her to implicitly acknowledge other information such as the fact that it was under her possession and control. The lower appellate court in Seo added an intriguing third reason: In a very real sense, the files do not exist on the phone in any meaningful way until the passcode is entered and the files sought are decrypted. . . . Because compelling Seo to unlock her phone compels her to literally recreate the information the State is seeking, we consider this recreation of digital information to be more testimonial in nature than the mere production of paper documents. Because entering a passcode is testimonial, that should be the end of it, and no one should be ordered to decrypt their device, at least absent a grant of immunity that satisfies the Fifth Amendment. But there is an additional wrinkle. In a case from 1976 called Fisher v. United States, the Supreme Court recognized an exception to the Fifth Amendment privilege for testimonial acts of production. The case involved responding to a subpoena for tax documents, and the government could show to a “foregone conclusion” that it already knew all of the information it would otherwise learn from the production—i.e. the existence, authenticity, and possession of the responsive documents. Although the Supreme Court has never again relied on this foregone conclusion exception, the government has built it into a full-blown “doctrine.” State and federal prosecutors have invoked it in nearly every forced decryption case to date. In Seo, the State argued that all that compelling the defendant to unlock her phone would reveal is that she knows her own passcode, which would be a foregone conclusion once it “has proven that the phone belongs to her.” As we argue in our amicus brief, this would be a dangerous rule for the Indiana Supreme Court to adopt. If all the government has to do to get you to unlock your phone is to show you know the password, it would have immense leverage to do so in any case where it encounters encryption. The Fifth Amendment is intended to avoid putting people to a “cruel trilemma”: self-incriminate, lie about knowing the password, or risk being held in contempt for refusing to cooperate. Thankfully that’s not the law. Instead, it’s clear from Fisher and later Supreme Court cases that the foregone conclusion exception was intended to be very narrow. It has only been applied in a case involving business records, and only where the testimonial communication at issue was the act of providing specified documents. The Court has made clear there is no foregone conclusion exception where a person is required to use the contents of their mind, even in responding to a more open-ended document subpoena. So there should be no exception to the Fifth Amendment when the government compels disclosure or use of a passcode to unlock and decrypt a digital device. The Indiana Supreme Court is set to hold argument in Seo on April 18. We’ll be watching for its ruling. " A year ago I was a front desk agent in one of the famous five stars IHG hotels. Basically, their Privacy policy entails that they have the right to sell anything and everything about you to third parties with all methods present or future ones. Not only that, there's a special FBI website for hotels where we have to enter all guests details, including but not limited to: Passport or ID scan, which room they're staying in, how long, nationality, full name, payment method, date of birth. If I fail to enter some guests? Well hello FBI agent, I'm not kidding, we have weakly FBI visits where they run some inquiries about some guests and check if we entered all the data. Moving to security, I cannot stress enough how crap the security measures are, your important Passport or ID info? It's stored on Microsoft Onedrive in an image format and synced on ALL the hotel's 40+ computers. Not only that, but every credit card scanned is stored along with security code in a plain text file! I shit you not and this is a five stars international hotel we're talking about here. If I was a criminal I would have copied the entire thing and sold it on the deep web or something, it's just crazy. I complained about that to IT but they ignored me! Also they keep any documents the guests ask us to print or scan, again, all saved to Microsoft Onedrive and synced fully to all computers, I once saw a paper of one of the guests with extremely sensitive details, and the poor guy thought his scanned documents are not stored on the hotel's Onedrive folder. Basically if you must travel try to stay in small hostels where they don't scan documents and accept payments in cash or try couchserfing. "

Cryptocurrency: Erik Voorhees via Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast

04 Feb '19

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CHxboMGv1E Today’s guest is Erik Voorhees, Founder and CEO of Shapeshift.io, the best way to exchange digital tokens on the Internet. I met Erik in Panama City, Panama in 2013 because he had a Bitcoin sticker on his laptop while posted up working at the NY Deli Bagel Cafe in El Cangrejo. I was working for Peter Schiff’s Euro Pacific Bank and had just heard Erik on Peter’s radio show. I was amazed at how eloquently Erik could communicate the benefits and value of Bitcoin as well as why it should be embraced by every person who supports “free market money” (Gold/Silver). Unfortunately, Peter Schiff wasn’t able to (and still doesn’t) grasp the paradigm shift and advancements in money created by Bitcoin and blockchains. Since his [Erik’s] entry into Bitcoin around 2010, he has either built or helped build several cryptocurrency companies including SatoshiDice, BitInstant, Coinapult and his most recent project Shapeshift.io. Tune in to hear how a fundamental understanding of money and freedom was instrumental in all of Erik’s business ideas. Protecting Customers: Market-based solution vs Government Regulations Most people (general public) believes that a government needs to “regulate” the Free Market in order to protect customers. We discuss how such government regulations actually harm the customer and protections should be left to the Entrepreneurs and business leaders to figure out. At Shapeshift, Erik has built a digital token exchange which does not require your private information (name, address, utility bill, social security number, etc). Simply send tokens to an address and receive the new, different tokens to your crypto wallet.Once an exchange is requested, Shapeshift only controls byour tokens for a few seconds as they perform the exchange and send back to you. This is a revolution in “financial custodial accounts” and is an evolution in how financial companies will protect clients in the future…as long as the government stays the hell out of the way. How Shapeshift has Created a Revenue Stream for Digital Token Wallets Speaking of revolutionizing business models, before Shapeshift it was very difficult to create a cash-flow positive business that builds crypto-currency wallets. Selling ads, allowing purchases with a credit card (very difficult and risky) or creating a LocalBitcoins-eque marketplace were the only ideas. None of them worked well. Now with Shapeshift, crypto-currency wallets who support multiple tokens can now integrate the Shapeshift exchange engine and make a small cut of all the token exchanges happening from within the wallet.
