First of all, thank you to everybody who replied, both on and off-list. On 07/01/2020 12:38, ao402468(a)gmail.com wrote: [..] > To abstract the object. I had independently come up with that word - but ao402468 published first. Darn, but not liver-gnawing time :) Words people have come up with: steal pirate leak plagiarise breach mirror clone replicate image intercept disseminate breach transgress microfilm xerox exfiltrate decrypt expose disclose compromise extract copy pinch crib abstract "Copy" is good, and obvious, but doesn't have the emotional connotations of stealing: scenario, you are a secure database operator/designer and someone has - "whatevered" - your data. You are right royally pi**ed off and want to nail the f#*#*#*s to a wall and stick knitting needles in their bellies and watch them die slowly and insane from peritonitis. If you can keep yourself from killing the s#!*-gobbing _F$*#S_ sooner. "Copy" seems a little weak for what they did. "Crib" and "pinch" are also good, but both have or had a specific crypto meaning, "crib" being a known or guessed plaintext, and "pinch" meaning crypto things stolen by non-cryptanalytic means. Both are a little weak. Both are also a bit skoolboyish. I think "abstract" is probably the best word available, but am a little worried that most people will not be aware of the secondary meaning of abstract. It doesn't necessarily involve dishonesty, but it is sometimes used that way - eg abstraction of electricity, an offense under UK law; you can't steal electricity as it is not a thing, so the offense is "abstraction" not "theft". Any further thoughts? This usage will eventually go in a book, which probably no-one will ever read, but if they do you may end up using whatever the final choice is... Again, thank you all for your help. ;-) Peter Fairbrother

Looking for a word
by Peter Fairbrother 07 Jan '20

to mean stolen from a record but still in it, ie integrity and availability are preserved but not confidentiality. "Stolen" is too laced with implications of the stolen object not being there any more, "copied" does not imply the theft aspect enough, "pirated" is too silly. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Self-Sovereign ID Tech

https://www.computerworld.com/article/3512108/frustration-over-growing-priv… https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot5-boston/blob/master/topics-and-advan… There is a growing movement among fintech companies, banks, healthcare services, universities and others toward disintermediating the control of online user identities in favor of supporting end-user controlled decentralized digital wallets based on P2P blockchain. Self-sovereign identity (SSI) is a term used to describe the digital movement that recognizes an individual should own and control their identity without intervening administrative authorities. The wallets would carry encryption keys provided by third parties and could be used to digitally sign transactions or provide access to verifying information, everything from bank-issued credit lines to diplomas -- all of which are controlled by the user through public key infrastructure (PKI). The blockchain ledger and PKI technology is hidden behind user-friendly mobile applications. Currently, there are more proof-of-concept projects than production systems involving a small number of organizations. The pilots, being trialed in government, financial services, insurance, healthcare, energy and manufacturing, don't yet amount to an entire ecosystem, but they will grow over the next few years, according to Gartner.

Jeffrey Epstein: Surveillance Video From First Suicide Attempt Missing https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/jeffrey-epstein-surveillance-video-firs… Jim Bell's comment: Missing, just like a few thousand postings to me, from me, about me, and any mentioning Assassination Politics in the 1995 Cypherpunks archive. And John Gilmore, Ryan Lackey, Tom Busby, and Declan McCullagh don't seem to care. Neither does Brian Merchant nor Will Stephenson. Concealing the past by erasing the evidence is an old story.

Re: Assange persecuted by Judge Arbuthnot with her p rima facie conflict of interest, refuses to recuse herself - - Re: Galloway has campaigned tirelessly for Assangeâs freedom - [PEACE]
by John Young 07 Jan '20

First I've heard of the armed agents in the courtroom. However, some of the Assange fans have made threatening statements, and I haven't heard of Assange asking to not do that. In that sense, he reminds of 45's firing up his base but not asking for calm. Instigators do do that so they cannot be charged with incitement. Govs and TLAs most guilty of it but so too the ego-driven - call them narcissistic cowards. To be sure, Assange is not nearly as mean-spirited as his associates who have latched onto him as an escape from insignificance. Looking forward to a full-bore Assange international trial of spectacular entertainment. Lively alternative: https://ddosecrets.com/ At 03:30 PM 1/6/2020, you wrote: >I wonder if the judge refusing to recuse herself has anything to do >with the two agents, allegedly carrying automatic weapons illegally >in the courtroom, addressing her while closely standing before her bench.

[gilmay97@gmail.com: WHO admits polio outbreak in the Philippines caused by polio vaccines…outbreak “caused by vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2”]

----- Forwarded message from Gil May <gilmay97(a)gmail.com> ----- From: Gil May <gilmay97(a)gmail.com> To: reader(a)gmail.com Bcc: zen(a)freedbms.net Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2019 06:58:37 +1000 Subject: WHO admits polio outbreak in the Philippines caused by polio vaccines…outbreak “caused by vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2” WHO admits polio outbreak in the Philippines caused by polio vaccines… outbreak “caused by vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2” Wednesday, October 09, 2019 by: Mike Adams <https://www.naturalnews.com/author/healthranger> The polio vaccine has caused an escalating outbreak of polio in the Philippines, according to the World Health Organization and UNICEF, which issued a joint statement admitting the vaccine is causing polio. “WHO and UNICEF said in a joint statement the polio outbreak in the Philippines is concerning because it is caused by vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2,” writes the Associated Press <https://apnews.com/d954ca949bf34124bc980d4e2f732b16>. “The weakened virus used in vaccines replicates for a short time in children’s intestines and is excreted in their feces.” Polio vaccines are often cited as a success story proving that vaccines work to eliminate infectious disease. In truth, *nearly all the cases of polio in the modern world are caused by polio vaccines* themselves. Stated plainly, more cases of polio are caused by polio vaccines than from wild polio. *Polio vaccines are creating “super polio” strains that threaten humanity* Oral polio vaccines are actually “spawning virulent strains” of polioviruses, reports Children’s Health Defense <https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/childrens-health/polio-vaccination-…> : *The alarming surge in vaccine-derived polio cases presents vaccine planners with a “quandary” or “conundrum”—because “The very tool you are using for [polio] eradication is causing the problem.” …Vaccine researchers have long known that these OPV-derived viruses can themselves cause polio, particularly when they get “loose in the environment.”* The Associated Press story admits that it has been over 25 years since polio in the Philippines was contracted from a “wild strain.” Since 1993, *all the cases of polio in the Philippines have been caused by polio vaccines*. Via AP: * [T]he last known case from a wild strain of the virus in the Philippines was in 1993…* *Associated Press admits vaccines kill children* The AP also admits that vaccines kill children: *The government’s immunization programs were marred in 2017 by a dengue fever vaccine made by French drugmaker Sanofi Pasteur which some Philippine officials linked to the deaths of at least three children. Duque and other Philippine health officials say they have worked to restore public trust in vaccines since then.* Even worse, as the AP admits, vaccines for dengue fever were actually found to *increase the risk of severe dengue infections*: *The government halted the dengue immunization drive after Sanofi said a study showed the vaccine may increase the risk of severe dengue infections. More than 830,000 children received the Dengvaxia vaccine under the campaign, which was launched in 2016 and halted in 2017. Sanofi officials said the Dengvaxia vaccine was safe and would reduce dengue infections if the vaccination drive continued.* *Vaccine “science” is a fraud* Modern vaccine “science” is a total fraud. Vaccines kill or maim millions of children around the world each year, yet any journalist who investigates the toxicity of vaccine ingredients or the science fraud behind vaccine propaganda is immediately banned from all major tech platforms, including Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest and even Vimeo. No facts about vaccines are allowed to be shared or discussed. The corrupt, criminally-operated vaccine industry controls the narrative across all tech giants — including Wikipedia — as well as Hollywood, universities and medical journals. The vaccine industry *murders children for profit*, then silences anyone who works to protect children from the scourge of dangerous immunizations carried out with toxic ingredients like aborted human fetal tissue, aluminum, mercury and chemical adjuvants. Watch this shocking video revealing the truth about aborted human fetal cells used in vaccines, totally admitted by the CDC and vaccine manufacturers: https://www.brighteon.com/034ebfcb-5bf8-4bcf-abf2-ee106a2eecba ----- End forwarded message -----

The heart of a Scotsman - George Galloway, The Chilcot Report: What Next?
by Zenaan Harkness 06 Jan '20

The wheels of "democracy" when it works, when someone with heart, patience, tenacity and a strong sense of justice (a mighty lot to ask, so we can be very grateful for this man of principal) such as George Galloway, is an event worth witnessing, given how rare such events are. George Galloway you have been vindicated. Thank you for speaking so clearly.

Cryptographic Autonomy License
by grarpamp 06 Jan '20

06 Jan '20

https://github.com/holochain/cryptographic-autonomy-license OSI / Perens in some sort of fight over this license. Internet commented: " Do not give anyone a license AT ALL. Simply release a document, stating that you will not prosecute anyone who uses your software in any way, unless they themselves ever try to enforce imaginary property schemes onto the world. And you *expect* people to openly break the "law" by copying your software without a license. So it is not a license, but merely a public statement, with no legal normativity. Then, nobody who backs imaginary property, can ever use your software. And if they try anyway, you of course sue them, using their own weapons against them. And the only legal way out you offer them, is a contract where they give up all their imaginary property shemes for all eternity, and all their works go to the public domain forever. Retroactively too. They can of course refuse to settle, and go to court. You'll be using Content Mafia math(TM), to calculate the damages they owe you. Bwahahahahaa! (Payable in transferral of all their imaginary property to you, too, of course. rofl) "
