open borders - diversity strength - EU rape statistics - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 14 Dec '19

Diversity remains our greatest strength ... or something. Government "welfare" handouts to "illegal migrants" could possibly encourage migration/immigration/invasion, to those countries handing out such shekels. A bunch of stats on rape in the EU, from Italy to Sweden: Italian Government Numbers Show 42% Of Rapes Are Carried Out By Migrants https://www.zerohedge.com/health/italian-government-numbers-show-42-rapes-a… https://summit.news/2019/12/10/italian-government-numbers-show-42-of-rapes-… New figures released by Italy’s Interior Ministry have revealed that 42 per cent of rapes in the country are carried out by migrants. The numbers show that Italian women are more likely to be victims of sexual harassment or so-called “minor sexual assaults” than foreign women are, but that migrant women are slightly more likely to experience major sex crimes like violent rape. “The rapes were committed in 62.7% of cases by partners, in 3.6% by relatives and in 9.4% by friends,” reports Il Giornale. http://www.ilgiornale.it/news/napoli/sequestra-e-violenta-17enne-arrestato-… [Lots more stats in original Italian article] The numbers are similar in many other European countries that have accepted large numbers of migrants from North Africa and the Middle East. Figures released last year https://www.svt.se/nyheter/granskning/ug/ny-kartlaggning-av-valdtaktsdomar-… found that 58 per cent of convicted rapists and 85 per cent of all convicted assault rapists in Sweden were born outside of Europe. In cases where the victim did not know the attacker, the proportion of foreign offenders was more than 80 per cent. Nearly 40 per cent of the convicted rapists are from the Middle East or from Africa. A study by the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet found https://www.infowars.com/sweden-88-per-cent-of-gang-rapists-have-a-migrant-… that 88 per cent of gang rapists in the Scandinavian country over the last six years have had a migrant background.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdollar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiasso_financial_smuggling_case https://powerbase.info/index.php/Rogue_Agents_-_1981-1991_-_Forward_to_Vict… In contrast to the public conception of "conspiracy theory", the links uncovered by parapolitical research are rarely lines of command. Parapolitical activity is not pyramidal like a government hierarchy; it is connective, a network of nodes like a circle of friends. The links between the nodes are lines of support arising not from a command structure, but from a community of interest, shared objectives and interlocking memberships. Individual groups do not so much set the agenda or run the show as act within their own sphere of influence or speciality, occasionally supporting actions taken by others. Many are isolated and have little impact outside their own country, and here the Cercle came into its own as a group with a world-wide agenda, connecting and, to some extent, coordinating the activities of groups in many different countries. The Cercle complex stands almost alone as an active international network linking intelligence veterans and their media manipulators to top right-wing politicians. As to its significance, one can do no better than to quote Ramsay and Dorril: "One of the conclusions to be drawn from this essay is about networks. One common response to the delineation of a network is to say, 'Yes, all that is interesting, but where is the actual transmission of power?' To which we would argue - and this is the only claim we make which might be called theoretical - that the network is the power. A network of people who are, elsewhere, powerful, is per se a powerful network." Through its network of private-sector spies and their disinformation outlets, the Cercle complex could promote or denigrate public figures not only in their own country, but throughout Europe and America. Its activities during the Cold War - covert funding, black propaganda, smear campaigns and, at least, connections to planned coups d'état - were those of any intelligence agency, and, in many ways, that is what the Cercle complex has been: the rogue agents of the international Right.

The old networks shall become new, and the new shall become old, despite the ultimate task many have labored for has been quite old: freedom vs slavery. Both sides have shown entrenchment, both sides have shown their vastness, both sides are camouflaged within the other. When will be our Fort Sumter? No one has yet to refuse an order. No one has yet to declare allegiance to parallel authority. Read your histories, how do civil wars happen in the west? There has been an unwillingness to investigate further, believing the evidence to either be fake or the crimes to be exceptions. But crime is deviance, but also deviance is not crime. This is difficult, how are crimes to be investigated if a narrow view is always taken towards them? These are serious crimes, making even the slightest effort towards investigating them will ensure that everyone accepts due process, but if it weren't for the stubbornness and stupidity of men...

Snowden, who made this statement earlier this month at a Blockstack event in Berlin, said that he believes Bitcoin’s chief drawback does not have to do with its ability to scale — as many critics allege — but rather its lack of privacy. “Everybody is focused on the transaction rate limitations of bitcoin being its central flaw, and that is a major one, but I would argue that the much larger structural flaw, the long-lasting flaw, is its public ledger,” he said via webcam. “That is simply incompatible with having an enduring mechanism for trade, because you cannot have a lifelong history of everyone’s purchases, all of their interactions be available to everyone and have that work out well at scale.” “I don’t think Bitcoin will last forever,” added Snowden, who hinted that he had used Bitcoin in 2013 to conceal his identity while preparing to release classified National Security Agency (NSA) documents documenting privacy abuses — including some that showed the NSA was actively spying on Bitcoin users. “Bitcoin does important work and I do think it will have enduring value for a long time, but particularly when we look at the core development team and their rate of improvement to the protocol, they simply need to better or they will not be able to compete,” he continued. Snowden said that he is most interested in privacy-centric cryptocurrencies like Zcash, which obfuscate blockchain data to allow users to verify the integrity of transactions while keeping them private from would-be snoopers. “When we talk about which cryptocurrencies are interesting to me, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Zcash for me is the most interesting right now, because the privacy properties of it are truly unique, but we see more and more projects that are trying to emulate this and I think this is a positive thing.” Snowden added that he had tested Monero and a variety of other privacy-centric coins, though in the past he has said that he feels more comfortable with Zcash since it has been developed by academic cryptographers.

Nextgen Networks: Autonomous Slack Space Storage [re: IQNets classes qpq repute]

http://piratebayztemzmv.onion/top/all https://youtube.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-viewed_YouTube_videos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exabyte https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettabyte https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettabyte_Era https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIKPjOuwqHo A new globally distributed P2P autonomously self maintaining deduplicating plug and play slack space object storage network could easily surpass 100EB... "slack space" - network utilizes say 80% of free space on disk for itself, maintains that by progressively removing its own extents upon sensing storage pressure encroaching the remaining 20% (from users other apps), adds more extents if users space later decreases. Some data expiry models exist as natural byproduct in a number of types of storage networks... - Equal resource sharing / trading, pay based... prioritizes the equal player, highest payer, etc. - Curation, review, governance... follows the whim bias demand and censorship of those actors / crowd - Seed based networks... survive until the last seed. These types also don't support insert and disconnect operations very well... indigent artists, first leaks, bulk publishers, etc. Prior attempts at distributed self maintaining object storage networks may have assumed that demand fallof is the only valid metric to expiry. http://piratebayztemzmv.onion/top/48hall In absense of the three above, short term flash demand is news, thus always valid. Long term, things start looking different, unpopular and or old hashes often begin to hold term value and importance. Models for a network open to the masses, that happens to prune historical top N hashes at each hashes respective M year accounting point, may be unlikely to lose anything of importance perhaps due to eventual popular reuploading from other sources. Designers of new nets may want to consider priortizing any space reclamation needs based on some analysis of real world "popular pop trash" content falloff patterns, some physical library, museum, and attic holdings models, inverse falloff metrics, internally guaranteed levels of object redundancy, etc. Are any current networks autonomous, free from three models above?
