Assassinations politics come off as one of those blunt metaphors that are easily misinterpreted. Jim Bell doesn't seem clever enough to come up with it so I think he stole the idea from someone else.

Non-trivial to figure this out about the West
by Ryan Carboni 01 Nov '19

01 Nov '19

The West is run by horrendously incompetent morons, lead by bloodthirsty sociopaths who have no idea why they keep getting accused of horrendous crimes. After all, people who reach such positions tend to be very gullible and naive. Fortunately for them, everyone is well understanding and protective of them since they are such nice people. Anyway, if the West goes in any direction but the direction as by their guided hand, they suddenly develop a backbone and enforce their principles.

=== Why Mark Zuckerberg covers his laptop's camera and micophrone Is taping your laptop a necessary security precaution? The chief executive officer of Facebook apparently thinks so. https://www.csmonitor.com/Technology/2016/0623/Why-Mark-Zuckerberg-covers-h… === Old joke: When we reach billions of insane people you won't insult as insane.

'Call it the Surge': Trump vows tougher militarized police; nationwide crackdown
by Razer 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

Shades of Richard Nixon! The "Silent Majority" 'told him' to do it. In this case the little hitler in Trump's head told him to. Maybe Trump doesn't remember how many cops got hurt and killed from the late 60s until the Vietnam War ended when Nixon tried it. After all he'd never heard of 'homelessness' until a few months ago. I'm SURE he never heard the chant: "We're bringing the war back home" used by armed protesters either... Tis a shame. > "President Donald Trump on Monday said the Justice Department is preparing to launch a sweeping crackdown on crime that he named "the surge," a term commonly associated with the George W. Bush administration's decision to send tens of thousands of additional troops into Iraq in 2007. "In coming weeks, Attorney General Barr will announce a new crackdown on violent crime—which I think is so important—targeting gangs and drug traffickers in high crime cities and dangerous rural areas," Trump said during the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in Chicago. "Let's call it the surge." The president did not provide any details on the plan but said it is going to be "very dramatic." "And you're going to see tremendous results very quickly," Trump added. As if to emphasize his view of America's cities as war zones, Trump went on to tout his administration's success in putting military equipment into the hands of U.S. police officers and claimed "Afghanistan is a safe place" compared to Chicago. "To help keep you safe, I've made $600 million-worth of surplus military equipment available to local law enforcement," Trump told the audience of police chiefs. "If you remember, the previous administration didn't want to do that... They didn't want to make you look so tough. They didn't want to make you look like you're a threat." Watch Trump's remarks: [video] Trump's visit to Chicago, the first of his presidency, was met with massive protests led by Indivisible Chicago and other progressive advocacy groups. Striking Chicago public school teachers also cleared their Monday afternoon schedule to take part in demonstrations against the president. "We have heard that President Donald Trump might be in town," leaders of the Chicago Teachers Union wrote in an email to members late Sunday. "If any members were inclined to show up outside his fundraiser in red, that would qualify as productive, in our view.” Thousands of protesters gathered and marched outside the Trump International Hotel and Tower in downtown Chicago, where the president attended a big-money campaign fundraiser after the law enforcement conference: [Tweetshots] "We're angry," Marj Halperin of Indivisible Chicago told The Guardian. "He is taking pleasure in the misery of our city. He doesn't know us. He's coming to our city to raise money, largely from people who don't live in this city, without ever having addressed, supported, listened to the people who really need help." --30-- https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/10/28/call-it-surge-vowing-nationwid… Rr Sent from my Androgyne dee-vice with K-9 Mail

Low-Resource Routing Attacks Against Tor https://www.freehaven.net/anonbib/cache/bauer:wpes2007.pdf you could add "high speed" compromised nodes, simply by lying about them being "high speed". also, notice this https://www.freehaven.net/anonbib/cache/hs-attack06.pdf blatant hole in hidden services design 'found' by scum-master syverson in 2006 - same scum-master who 'designed' tor haha. I'm guessing these scumbags get bonunses by 'paper' written, so they write papers about their shitty 'designs' and then write papers 'attacking' the same garbage they coded. Priceless.

Piracy: Strike3 gets Struck Out of Copyright Subpoena Game
by grarpamp 30 Oct '19

https://torrentfreak.com/us-court-shields-internet-subscribers-from-futile-… https://torrentfreak.com/images/strikedeny.pdf A New Jersey district court has issued a devastating order against Strike 3 Holdings, the most active filer of piracy lawsuits in the US. In four separate cases, the court denied a request to obtain identities of alleged BitTorrent pirates. The court argues that the underlying complaints are futile. Even if they held up, other issues such as the privacy of the accused and Strike 3's failure to use other enforcement tools, would warrant a denial. Last week, New Jersey District Court Magistrate Judge Joel Schneider denied Strike 3 expedited discovery in four cases. This means that it's not allowed to subpoena ISPs for the personal details of account holders whose IP-addresses were used to share pirated videos via BitTorrent. In a very detailed 47-page opinion, the Judge takes apart various aspects of Strike 3's enforcement efforts. He makes it clear that these cases should not be allowed to go forward, as the complaints are futile. "The most fundamental basis of the Court's decision is its conclusion that, as pleaded, Strike 3's complaints are futile. The Court denies Strike 3 the right to bootstrap discovery based on a complaint that does not pass muster," Judge Schneider writes. The futility lies in the fact that the complaints themselves include very few facts. The only thing that the company really knows is that an IP address is associated with downloading copyrighted works. Strike 3 doesn't know whether the subscriber is involved in the actual infringements. Courts have previously ruled both in favor and against allowing discovery to expose the account holders in these situations, but the New Jersey Court clearly sides with the latter. "The Court sided with the cases that hold it is not sufficient to merely allege in a pleading that the defendant is a subscriber of an IP address traced to infringing activity. Consequently, the Court will not authorize Strike 3 to take discovery premised on a futile John Doe complaint." The decision is partly based on the aforementioned "Cobbler" ruling of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. However, the Court makes it clear that even if there was a properly pleaded infringement claim, the requests for expedited discovery would still be denied. In the opinion, Judge Schneider sums up the other issues as follows: (1) Strike 3 bases its complaints on unequivocal affirmative representations of alleged facts that it does not know to be true. (2) Strike 3's subpoenas are misleading and create too great of an opportunity for misidentification. (3) The linchpin of Strike 3's good cause argument, that expedited discovery is the only way to stop infringement of its works, is wrong. (4) Strike 3 has other available means to stop infringement besides suing individual subscribers in thousands of John Doe complaints. (5) The deterrent effect of Strike 3's lawsuits is questionable. (6) Substantial prejudice may inure to subscribers who are misidentified. (7) Strike 3 underestimates the substantial interest subscribers have in the constitutionally protected privacy of their subscription information.
