Two years he says? https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2014/12/nsa_hacking_of_.html Assume that anything we learn about what the NSA does today is a preview of what cybercriminals are going to do in six months to two years.

Luongo embraces "inner fascist", whitewashes Zuckerberg! - [MINISTRY]
by Zig the N.g 04 Feb '20

04 Feb '20

So Luongo, ever in search of a contrarian headline to bait his clicks with, again embraces his inner fascist, whitewashing FaceBook's Zuckerberg, whilst justifying "rando bans - as long as they're 'fair' bannings": "But, Zuckerberg is a pawn. He’s neither the problem nor the solution. Soros is the problem and we have to remember this at all times. While being banned from Twitter or Facebook for stupid reasons is unfair, so what." Peak Facebook, Peak Soros, Or Just Peak Globalism? https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/peak-facebook-peak-soro-or-just-peak… The anti-Soros thesis is reasonably solid, but assisting Zuckerberg's future USA presidential election campaign (just not in 2020) is insanity personified. Luongo's error is evidenced in the following words: "Life isn’t fair, but it doesn’t mean we hand an already corrupt, incompetent and failing government more power to control the content we have access to." Which are prima facie words which ought, in principle, be supported, yet in the context Luongo uses them, misses the fundamental abuse of power in play by the Silicon Valley behemoths - they claim "carrier" status, then go about banning those with political views "which are not sanctioned on the platform"; they wants to have their cake and eat it too - being able to capriciously ban users, accounts, and those with literally millions of followers, whilst at the same time being not held accountable for the content on their platforms, and in the face of their goverment supported monopoly positions. Luongo claims that FaceBook (et al) are "amoral", which ignores the extraordinarily partisan bannings and censorship which they conduct. At least Luongo admits that the "freedom of political debate" on FaceBook is an illusion: "Wall St. is amoral. They aren’t ideologues like Soros. They go where the money is. And the money is still in a version of Facebook that allows the illusion of political debate." Fundamentally we must engage meat space, inventing a pathway to transition the sheeple to actual "free communication" platforms.

Did Dzhokhar Tsarnaev use the same gun that killed JFK?
by Ryan Carboni 04 Feb '20

04 Feb '20

That's one magic gun, fires magic bullets, and it can disappear? On another note, why is it that American citizens have to be subjected to rigorous airport checks while the terrorists who come to this country do not even qualify as long-term residents. Terrorism is a shell game by the authorities to remove the rights of US citizens when the terrorists barely qualify as US nationals. The underwear bomber never even stepped foot on American soil when his actions became used for the basis of shoe inspections (SHOE INSPECTIONS?) while the elites are unaffected through their use of private jets. If in ten years the private jets of major CEOs start self-piloting and flying into major banks, I am a full advocate of that based on their selfless disregard for American democratic values, as well providing a modicum of defense to the US constitution versus yielding to Muslims, Cartels, virii or anything that serves to topple western civilization at any turn. By all means, remember me as a relatively unknown and austere religious scholar. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/officials-boston-sus… Although police feared he was heavily armed, the suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing had no firearms...

>epstein was a wall street thief to the tune of 1000 millions. That's the the 'only' crime he commited. Now, go get ass-raped by jesus, carboni. I don't know. Is what makes a person elite is when the judiciary looks the other way at their crimes? Still, I'd like to contest the accusations against me, and a ten year investigation is somewhat unusual.

Let's play some Clue. Epstein wasn't responsible for the overwhelming evidence, the positive blood reagent tests can't be true. Clearly he was a sweet and innocent man, who hired the wrong servants who all coordinated a frame up of him. It's why there are so many government informants in labor unions (that too has a list compiled...). So let's play some Clue. The Butler did it with an ice pick in the conservatory...?

Changing your minds perhaps?
by Ryan Carboni 02 Feb '20

02 Feb '20

I wonder if the elites are changing their minds, maybe they no longer want to live isolated castles with total dominion over their lands, maybe they want to experience more sublime pleasures... like the arts or nice events. Certainly can be more appealing. https://onezero.medium.com/survival-of-the-richest-9ef6cddd0cc1?gi=394ae8a8… For all their wealth and power, they don’t believe they can affect the future. The Event. That was their euphemism for the environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, unstoppable virus, or Mr. Robot hack that takes everything down. This single question occupied us for the rest of the hour. They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from the angry mobs. But how would they pay the guards once money was worthless? What would stop the guards from choosing their own leader? The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival. Or maybe building robots to serve as guards and workers — if that technology could be developed in time.

https://nitter.net/tomselliott/status/1223658351764086785 Nance, cont’d: “Absolutely” Trump is now a “king,” “we are not living in a constitutional republic anymore … Donald Trump is the supreme element of the state, like North Korea”; 2020 might spell end of “America as we’ve known it." Reid adds: “Scaring is caring” . Returning to Pre-Dick Act militias might help protect Republican values. To protect Republican virtue, independent grand juries would help. But there are higher priorities, and some of you can keep murdering your wives. No one can protect people from their own misjudgement. Just if you want to assault or enslave your servants in any way, perhaps you should apply for citizenship in a third world country. Uncle Tom's Cabin is not a recommendation. https://thecnnfreedomproject.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/31/help-for-burned-gadha…
