CHAMBERLEAKS: US Chamber’s Lobbyists Solicited Firm To Investigate Opponents’ Families, Children
by Ryan Carboni 12 Jan '20

12 Jan '20

The whole Palantir-HBGary scandal was interesting. I wonder what was meant by "...I can exploit the home network/system" or "Lots of vulnerabilities in social media" or "Enjoys photographing children" The meer hint or insinuation of something unsavory can destroy careers, this is a scourge upon America. Epstein made a career out of it. The whole Epstein system (that is, in goes children, out goes something totally evil) should be repudiated. To protect Epstein's network is to aid and abet a criminality that has no place in America. "Nations, like individuals, are punished for their transgressions."-Ulysses S. Grant on the impact of the Mexican-American War. https://thinkprogress.org/chamberleaks-us-chambers-lobbyists-solicited-firm…

Crazy to think that I'm using the same internet that primitive tribesman are using. Or crazy to think that anyone on the internet could be a dog or a member of a massive international sex cult. The internet is very strange.

Instagram purging posts about assassinated Iranian
by Razer 12 Jan '20

12 Jan '20

Washington DC (CNN Business) Instagram and its parent company Facebook are removing posts that voice support for slain Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani to comply with US sanctions, a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement to CNN Business Friday. The Iranian government has called for nationwide legal action against Instagram in protest, even creating a portal on a government website for the app's users to submit examples of posts the company removed, Iranian state media reported. Instagram is one of the few western social media platforms that is not blocked in Iran. Facebook and Twitter are blocked but some Iranians access those sites using VPNs. In a tweet, Iran's government spokesperson, Ali Rabiei, called Instagram's actions "undemocratic." Instagram shut down Soleimani's own account on the platform last April after the US government designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a foreign terrorist organization. Soleimani was an IRGC commander. "We operate under US sanctions laws, including those related to the US government's designation of the IRGC and its leadership," a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement. Iranian soccer player Alireza Jahanbakhsh, who has a verified Instagram account, posted a photo of Soleimani after his death. Jahanbakhsh said Instagram had removed that post. Details of the takedowns were reported earlier by Coda Story. As part of its compliance with US law, the Facebook spokesperson said the company removes accounts run by or on behalf of sanctioned people and organizations. It also removes posts that commend the actions of sanctioned parties and individuals and seek to help further their actions, the spokesperson said, adding that Facebook has an appeals process if users feel their posts were removed in error. CNN Business has reached out to Twitter and Google for comment to ask how they handle content related to people sanctioned by the US government. https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/10/tech/instagram-iran-soleimani-posts/index.ht…

I'm concerned about small arms proliferation

It looks like it only costs a few million dollars to overthrow a government in charge of several million people. C-4 costs $32 per kilo? https://archive.org/details/TowerCommission/page/n257 Airlift #2 - March 1985 750,000 rounds 7.62x39 ... $210,000 1,000 RPG-7 grenades ..... 265,000 8,910 hand grenades ........ 84,645 60 - 60mm mortars ............ 96,000 1,472 kgs C-4 .................... 47,104 This is no doubt an issue of public concern. Does Bellingcat know anything more about arms proliferation than a few random pictures of cargo ships at port?

I'm now a member of a pagan sex cult

At least the conditions required for the world to be run by psychosexual nutcases no longer exists. https://qz.com/1768545/hinduisms-kali-is-the-feminist-icon-the-world-desper… Kali is the quintessential embodiment of shakti, female power. She emerges as an independent goddess around 1000 BCE and evolves as a controversial character: she is a scary, bloodthirsty embodiment of destruction, and the ultimate protector against evil. She is spiritual and bodily, erotic and sexual and as such, courageous: in the Tantrik cults that revolve around her, eroticism is primarily a way of confronting one’s deepest fears.

Re: Assassination Politics AP

> non-aggressive like farm animal cow/sheep? If intoning about self-defense to realtime active inbound physical violent attack initiated by other against you, nature law automatically triggers self-defense against that. You're not going to be tapping waiting relying on that AP app when someone's physically on you like that in realtime. And if you have no nature law defense response, or you're suicide-by-initiator, martyr, absolute pacifist, etc... you've got a problem to solve, or have chosen such potential outcomes. That's all off topic. Non-Aggression-Principle (NAP) refers to the self discipline and personal responsibility to, in part, not be an Original Initiator of Force. Look it up. By extension, people that follow the NAP may not want anything to do with an AP system that could serve an OIF. People could certainly discuss the area of NAP and OIF re AP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-aggression_principle AP mechanism might be useful in ending originally initiated attacks and force against others still ongoing, ie physical wars, theft regimes, etc. AP mechanism might be useful in determining and or effecting any possible course of action to intermediate, typically after attack occurs. Such as funding apprehension of the murderer, assailant, theif, fraud, damager, political marionettist, etc, for adjudication, preventive restraint, restitution, restoration, even forgiving, education, indenturement, etc. People could certainly discuss how AP mechanism might be applied to such things (ie: even foregoing AP's often referenced moniker function). Message-ID: <1009121028.6046289.1578602440432(a)mail.yahoo.com> Surely discuss the area of Opportunity Costs, even as to any faster or effective path to some higher morality... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_cost And how to solve or have any fair when police, prosecution, judge, defense, lawmaker, corp are all licensed paid and working for govt and selves by design, not you. History does not lie about such setup, you just lose... https://www.reddit.com/r/Libertarian/comments/em8clw/brooklyn_public_defend…
