[MONEY] New Rules of the Bond Game - Zerowedgie
by Zenaan Harkness 27 Jul '18

27 Jul '18

Clearly put, and with a quote that must be quoted: Perhaps the words of Josiah Stamp, the director of the Bank of England in 1928, are worth revisiting: “Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin. … Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them but leave them the power to create money, and, with the flick of a pen, they will create enough money to buy it back again. “Take this great power away from them and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for then this would be a better and happier world to live in. “But, if you want to continue to be a slave of the bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let the bankers continue to create money and control credit.” The 'Hidden' Rules Of The Bond Game https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-07-26/new-rules-bond-game

A little more history comes to light - who woulda thought that J bankers financed the J-Bolshevik revolution in Russia? 1. Your Schoolbooks Lied to You: What Happened After the Bolshevik Revolution (#120th) by Ron Unz The Unz Review https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413… ------------------------------------------------------------ by Ron Unz The Unz Review (1,679 views) on Thu, Jul 26, 2018 The author is the founder and editor of the Unz Review, a conservative American political website, an entrepreneur, and a one-time candidate for the governor of California. This article was originally published in October 2016 at the Unz Review. Although I always had a great interest in history, I naively believed what I read in my textbooks, and therefore regarded American history as just too bland and boring to study.

Signal on the Desktop, Plays FBI Subpoena

The makers of Signal, Open Whisper Systems, profoundly disappointed law enforcement. The app collects as little data as possible and therefore was unable to hand anything useful over to agents. "That's not because Signal chose not to provide logs of information," ACLU lawyer Brett Kaufman told the Associated Press. "It's just that it couldn't." "The Signal service was designed to minimize the data we retain," Moxie Marlinspike, the founder of Open Whisper Systems, told the New York Times. The subpoena came with a yearlong gag order that was successfully challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union. Signal's creators challenged the gag order as unconstitutional, "because it is not narrowly tailored to a compelling government interest." The challenge was successful. In addition to being popularly considered the best consumer encrypted messaging app available, Signal's technology is used by Facebook for Secret Conversations, WhatsApp for encrypted messages, and Google's Allo. Confronted with the subpoena, Marlinspike went to the ACLU for legal counsel. The ACLU responded with a letter saying that even though Signal did not have data the FBI sought, it still strenuously objected (PDF) to the fact the FBI wanted so much information.

Monopolies are made by government and they can easily be broken by them too
by Steven Schear 26 Jul '18

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jul/18/eu-fine-google-android-a… Instead of fining Google, if the EU really wants to set and example of how to reign in monopolies, they should recind the IP privilege they granted Google by stripping them of their copyrights (and perhaps patents).

Sometimes stating the obvious comes with a "well duh!" and other times a "about bloody time someone said it!" This could perhaps be useful for many a young (or not so young) wanna be man in the age of sexual "liberation".

Don't confuse community... extents of vagueness being group / individually / un defined, bidirectionally voluntary, dynamic and of infinite global breadth depth, etc... with the exact legal corporate holder of trademark, its lawyers on retainer filing "requests" for force, and its staff with paychecks in hand.
