Ann Frank's step-sister admits "none [of the Auschwitz photos] were taken at the concentration camp" - [PEACE]
by Zig the N.g 29 Jan '20

29 Jan '20

In a desperate attempt to keep the dream alive, anuddah fake arse jigga literally gone exposed another round of fakery - fake Auschwitz photos to be precise - all of them ones with any relation to Ann Frank! Welp, j.ggers gonna j.g! Fake Liberation Photos: Anne Frank’s Step-Sister Admits It was All a Giant Con http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/fake-photos-anne-franks-step-sister-admits-it… https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7933509/Anne-Franks-step-sister-… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-JM6ChF-Fw [literal fake Auschwitz "liberation" photo not attached] “Make it look real, lads! Act more oppressed.” On British television Monday morning, Anne Frank’s step-sister admitted it was all a giant con. Daily Mail: A Holocaust survivor has claimed that photos showing the liberation of Auschwitz aren’t real, because none were taken at the concentration camp. Anne Frank’s step-sister Eva Schloss, 90, who was sent to the notorious camp in Nazi-occupied Poland at the age of 15, appeared on Good Morning Britain today to discuss the 75th anniversary of its liberation. Eva was 23-years-old when her mother Fritzi married Otto Frank, making her the posthumous stepsister to Anne Frank, who had died eight years earlier in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945. She spent eight months at Auschwitz before the camp was liberated, and avoided being taken on a death march by the Nazis who fled with prisoners to try to cover up their crimes, because she and her mother overslept and were left behind. Wow, getting out of a death march just by oversleeping? The game must have been on Easy mode. And “taken on a death march by the Nazis to cover up their crimes”? Does that make any sense? Must have been like the death march Elie Wiesel went on but somehow didn’t die from, the one where he voluntarily preferred to go with his evil Nazi oppressors rather than wait for his Soviet liberators to show up. (Shortly before going to the nearest big town with his camp-mates to find some German girls to rape https://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/20/books/review/Donadio-t.html .) However, the survivor has alleged that pictures of Soviet Red Army liberating the camp are fake, because Russian soldiers hadn’t brought cameras, and says there was a heavy snowfall at Auschwitz at the time, which isn’t shown in pictures. She claimed that the photos, which apparently show the liberation, were in fact taken at other camps, but she didn’t give an explain her theory further in the interview. Like the Frank family, Eva and her family were discovered hiding in Amsterdam and Eva was sent to the notorious camp in Nazi-occupied Poland at the age of 15 She said: ‘It wasn’t just Auschwitz , they liberated all the camps in Poland and that is really not known. ‘Another thing I wanted to point out, there are many pictures about the Russians liberating Auschwitz and there’s never any snow. ‘The snow was honestly that high, I was at the Russian embassy once and I said “Something puzzles me, those photos are fake”. ‘They said, “Well yes, they are not fakes”, but when the army came they didn’t have cameras they didn’t take photographs. [Recuperation Block photo not attached] “Schonungsblock” = Recuperation block. Strange thing at an “extermination camp”, no? Eva appeared on Good Morning Britain today to discuss the 75th anniversary of the Auschwitz liberation ‘Only much later they took pictures, you see now, but this is definitely not in Auschwitz and not the liberation of Auschwitz.’ [chubby cheeked boys and girls "Auschwitz" photo not attached] Chubby-cheeked children, looking remarkably well-nourished as they are “liberated” Here’s the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-JM6ChF-Fw Notice the host tries to interrupt her when she starts saying the photos were fake, but she just continues speaking over him. There’s still a lot of nonsense in her account of her experience. She complains her mother was selected to be “gassed” by Mengele himself (amazing how these people always have personal encounters with Mengele). But she met her mother later on, still alive and ungassed. Somehow the gassing didn’t work. Maybe they ran out of gas. Or maybe she overslept that day and the inefficient Germans just let her off. Very oddly, Auschwitz "survivors" are repeatedly calling for shutdowns on free speech! "Shut it down" - now who could have predicted this?

Secure Phones, Telco, Spies, Baseband, SDR (re: Tower Fix Wont Curb Surveillance)

"This problem is > big low-hanging fruit, and there are many ways things could get better > I think." Authenticating to the tower doesn't get users one single bit closer to the trustable p2p e2e crypto required for actual security. Even if the entire ISO IETF IEEE EFF CCC stood and said "this new tower encryption is solid"... How soon people forget... The corrupt telcos gave everyone's ass away to govcorp, without even a corrupt fisa calea or criminal/civil warrant, many took a nice fee schedule for all that too. And the nsa and every other country just taps and dumps the unencrypted telco nodes / backhauls... into their own utah's. And telco employees get paid and moled out for hookers and blow. And 5G (4/3/2 too) is such fucked up spec and implementation they'll be press release self partying about their fake fixing of all the other intentional ecosystem firmware and signaling backdoors and bugs for the next 50 years. Not to mention telcos just swiss cheese privacy policy and NDA commercial contract your ass away like every other bigcorp RingFaceBoogleLexaDMV... Bypass that... Get a PSK, or voice confirmed TOFU, or use the software out there to do the key exchange over SMS... with all your call contacts. Plug that into phone app that sits on the audio bus or uses cell data IP, and ratchets out per session keys. With 4G and 5G making cell data reasonably cheap, and a somewhat more secure phone below, or better tethered to wifi hotspot or just plain wifi, things begin to become potentially usable for some everyday non critical use in 'smaller/cheaper/mobile than laptop' form factor. Thousands of people already do this. > A few years ago, I read that a disused, old cell phone (with no active > subscription) would activate in the presence of one of these Stingray > devices. Stingray is MITM. GSM a5 encryption long since hacked. A recent hack documented phone exploitability over baseband SMS. Baseband is untrustable adversary CPU, if the phones block design leaves baseband powered up to battery even if asleep, and if such baseband has access to the phones hardware control bus (main cpu power bus, etc)... turning on an "off" phone is certainly possible. You'd have to see if there's any news exploits of that being done. Or just probe around your phone pinouts and see what blocks are eating all the microamps when it's "off". Librem and Pinephone supposedly do some data bus isolation (serial) of baseband from the main CPU/RAM, instead of lame IOMMU or direct shared access, but you'd have to check about their power bus. Librem is a bit more chunky so it would be easier to verify. Unlike librem, pinephone switches are still internal, so you have to disassemble it, or wire in external extensions, to use them in real life. > But if the power consumption of such a phone could be > monitored continuously, that might implement a cheap, easy "Stingray > detector". Every tower base has an id, there are phone apps that read and track the power by id and notify on anomaly. Obviously such id's are spoofable and cooperateable. You can do a lot more with SDR, OpenBTS, be your own stingray. Beyond that is characterizing, discriminating, locating RF itself, much more time and $$$.

Opinion: Are universities morphing into Orwellian states?
by jim bell 29 Jan '20

29 Jan '20

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/are-universities-morphing-into-orwellian-… [partial quote follows] "Americans are experimenting with methods similar to China’s social credit system. By tracking student movements and regulating faculty to standards of political correctness, they risk socializing young people to the methods of high-tech authoritarian state control. Syracuse University, the University of North Carolina and others are installing wi-fi apps and Bluetooth devices to monitor class attendance and visits to libraries, recreation centers, dining halls and potentially every other campus location. These create profiles that faculty and administrators can use to reward good learning habits, flag mental health issues, and impel students to modify personal habits to norms of model student behavior." ---------------------------- I wonder if anyone criticized Orwell, saying something like, 'That kind of thing couldn't happen here'. (whereever 'here' happened to be for that person.) Probably quite frequently. Jim Bell
