I'm concerned about small arms proliferation
by Ryan Carboni 12 Jan '20

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…

The company is so secretive that, when asked for comment for this story, it threatened VICE with legal action if we published this article. A surveillance vendor that works with U.S. government agencies is marketing spying capabilities including cameras that are hidden inside a tombstone, a baby car seat, and a vacuum cleaner.. an alarm clock, suitable for "hotel room stings," The "Phantom RFID Exploitation Toolkit" lets a user clone an access card or fob, and the so-called "Shadow" product can "covertly provide the user with PIN code to an alarm panel," the brochure reads. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Providence "release of the information could result in very serious jeopardy to the lives of law enforcement and military users of the technology RIGHT NOW IN PARTICULAR DUE TO RECENT WORLD EVENTS … the responsibility for any resulting harm should you go ahead and assist in the dissemination of this information to a wider public audience will fall squarely on your shoulders" lol
