I find Nike sweatshop labor softens shoes, likely from the sweat, makes it more comfortable than the other brands. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/china-compels-uighurs-to-…

Steny Hoyer (D-MD) landed today in Israel with 41 other Democratic Representatives for a week-long, all-expenses-paid junket sponsored by the American Israel Education Foundation (AIEF), the educational branch of the lobbying organization American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)... Ignoring the source links... 41 US elected reps in office traveling at once to one country? That's 10% of that body, not including support and associated political elements... How rare is that, whether to, or even from any other country in the world, under any international situation?

Dirtbag Left Hates

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/29/us/politics/bernie-sanders-chapo-trap-ho… "The people in the crowd were angry, and Chapo Trap House wanted them to stay that way. The five hosts of the popular socialist podcast wanted everyone to know they had all been lied to. About everything. The media they consumed was fake news aimed to distract them from the only war worth fighting: the class war. Politesse, civility, even pleasure those were tools of the neoliberal oppressor. The right answer is rage." Let the hate feed you.

Re: Wikileaks: Julian Assange

FWIW, Assange's counsel mistated that Cryptome hosted, and still hosts, the State Department cables. Cryptome posted, and still hosts, the torrents for accessing the cable files after decrypting the torrents with the book-published password. But did not publish the very large files themselves. Of the three encrypted files only one, the y-file, could be decrypted with the password, not x and z. Still don't know what is in x and z. https://cryptome.org/xyz/x.gpg.torrent https://cryptome.org/xyz/y-docs.gpg.torrent https://cryptome.org/xyz/y-gpg.torrent https://cryptome.org/xyz/z-gpg.torrent Cryptome archived the decrypted y file, cables.csv (1.7GB), but did not publish it. Not aware of where or who hosted the files accessed by the torrents. Don't know if the others who downloaded the torrents then decrypted and published all of them. If not, it is possible WikiLeaks first published the unredacted files, maybe all of them, thinking that others had already done so.

Removing a police-installed GPS is not theft...in Indiana.
by jim bell 29 Feb '20

29 Feb '20

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/02/removing-a-gps-tracking-device-… "An Indiana man may beat a drug prosecution after the state's highest court threw out a search warrant against him late last week. The search warrant was based on the idea that the man had "stolen" a GPS tracking device belonging to the government. But Indiana's Supreme Court concluded that he'd done no such thing—and the cops should have known it." "Last November, we wrote about the case of Derek Heuring, an Indiana man the Warrick County Sheriff's Office suspected of selling meth. Authorities got a warrant to put a GPS tracker on Heuring's car, getting a stream of data on his location for six days. But then the data stopped." "Officers suspected Heuring had discovered and removed the tracking device. After waiting for a few more days, they got a warrant to search his home and a barn belonging to his father. They argued the disappearance of the tracking device was evidence that Heuring had stolen it." [end of partial quote] Jim Bell's comment follows: In January 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a warrant is necessary to place a GPS tracking system on a car. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Jones "United States v. Jones, 565 U.S. 400 (2012), was a landmark United States Supreme Court case which held that installing a Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking device on a vehicle and using the device to monitor the vehicle's movements constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment.[1]" "In 2004 defendant Jones was suspected of drug trafficking. Police investigators asked for and received a warrant to attach a GPS tracking device to the underside of the defendant's car but then exceeded the warrant's scope in both geography and length of time. The Supreme Court justices voted unanimously that this was a "search" under the Fourth Amendment, although they were split 5-4 as to the fundamental reasons behind that conclusion. The majority held that by physically installing the GPS device on the defendant's car, the police had committed a trespass against Jones' "personal effects" – this trespass, in an attempt to obtain information, constituted a search per se."

flu hysteria
by Punk-Stasi 2.0 29 Feb '20

29 Feb '20

ok, here's some Real Scientific Truth (RST) from wikimierda (source of all official propaganda) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_outbreak "As of 28 February 2020 2,860 deaths have been attributed to COVID-19. According to China's NHC, most of those who died were older patients – about 80% of deaths recorded were from those over the age of 60, and 75% had pre-existing health conditions " in other words, 2800 people died of flu, and 2200 of them were old people, who, you know, commonly die of flu. But wait! Not only they were relatively old, they were already sick. Also, likely to have been murdered by 'medical errors'. sooo....in reality at best 600 people died of a 'new' strain of flu in a less than ordinary way. And that's what the hysteria is all about. World population 7800 millions, 600 people die of some variation of the flu - fucktards hysterically lose their minds... I bet this has something to do with public 'education' and technocracy...

WhooHoo FluMongering: CJR just comes right out and says it
by Razer 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

"Why COVID-19 is not the problem" (but the sensationalized reporting and ignorant reactionary humans sure are!) "So why is so much attention being paid to COVID-19? First, because it’s new, and spreading. But as Max Fisher wrote in the New York Times, COVID-19 “hits nearly every cognitive trigger we have.” Its novelty and the uncertainty around it override the recognition that other diseases, including flu, are far more endemic and dangerous. He likens the reaction to that after a plane crash, when people shun flying even though a crash is an anomaly and flying is overwhelmingly safe. And social media spreads the rumors, fake cures, and other untruths that we won’t link to, but include words like “genocide” and “Zionist conspiracy.” Journalists have the responsibility to put things in context. Cover COVID-19 and its effects, be they economic, physical, or social. But acknowledge its place in the pantheon of disease. Reporting as if it were the end of the world is an epidemic of a different kind." https://www.cjr.org/language_corner/covid-19-coronavirus.php

Joyce Meyer yanks fire alarm to cover mistaken 1 Timothy 2 reference
by Zig the N.g 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

Following up the following is "enlightening" (for humorous ^B useful values of the word 'enlightening'): Joyce Meyer Pulls Fire Alarm To Distract Audience From 1 Timothy 2 https://babylonbee.com/news/joyce-meyer-pulls-fire-alarm-distract-audience-… WICHITA FALLS, TX—In a major faux pas for the female preacher, Joyce Meyer misspoke at a local Bible conference Tuesday, mistakenly telling her audience, “Open your Bibles to First Timothy, Chapter 2,” when she was supposed to say Second Timothy, Chapter 1. It took her a matter of seconds to realize her mistake—and the grave trouble she had gotten herself into. Sources at the scene confirm that Meyer then screamed out, “Hey, look at that!” while pointing toward the back of the building. When most of the audience turned around to see what she was pointing at, she reportedly dashed across the stage in an age-defying sprint, leaped over a row of chairs, and forcefully activated the building’s fire alarm, causing the ceiling-mounted sprinklers to unleash a torrent of water on attendees, triggering an immediate evacuation and effectively preventing them from reading Paul’s teachings on female leaders in the church. Pressed to explain the incident, Joyce Meyer Ministries issued a statement, which read, in part, “This organization disavows all knowledge of any so-called ‘first letter to Timothy.’ After decades of studying the Bible, Joyce Meyer confirms that the Apostle Paul wrote a second letter to Timothy, and no others.” Ok, soap, not having read the bible since being a wee pre-teen, a refresher was in order: Joyce Meyer ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyce_Meyer Joyce Meyer (born Pauline Joyce Hutchison; June 4, 1943) is an American Charismatic Christian author and speaker and president of Joyce Meyer Ministries. Joyce and her husband Dave have four grown children, and live outside St. Louis, Missouri. Her ministry is headquartered near the St. Louis suburb of Fenton, Missouri. ... 1 Timothy 2 New International Version (NIV) https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Timothy+2&version=NIV Instructions on Worship 2 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles. 8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. 9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. 11 A woman[a] should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[b] she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15 But women[c] will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety. Ahah. Enlightenment dawns. Mmhmm.

Ex-CIA Joshua Schulte Describes His Data/Crypto Hiding Prowess

Ex-CIA Joshua Schulte Describes His Data/Crypto Hiding Prowess (WikiLeaks Vault 7) "Which brings me to my next point. Do you know what my specialty was at the CIA? Do you know what I did for fun? Data hiding and crypto. I designed and wrote software to conceal data in a custom-designed file system contained within the drive slack space, or hidden partitions. I disguised data. I split data across files and file systems to conceal the crypto. Analysis tools would never detect random or pseudorandom data indicative of potential crypto. I designed and wrote my own crypto. How better to fool buffoons like forensic examiners and the FBI than to have custom software that doesn't fit into their two-week class where they become forensic experts? Make no mistake. I am an expert in data hiding and cryptography with thousands of hours of experience and among the top specialists in the world, or was."
