Julian Assange
by Ryan Carboni 28 Jun '19

28 Jun '19

Since the new social norm for this mailing list seems to be non-descriptive titles, I might as well post about Julian Assange. https://www.thedailybeast.com/chelsea-manning-i-was-a-spy-not-a-racist "Chelsea Manning on Her Alt-Right Partying: I Was a Spy, Not a Racist" I have doubts that some people ever went to jail, I mean, why would informants have valid legal histories? Julian Assange is going to be convicted for stupidity in any case, people pressing him for help, sleeping with anti-Castro women (seriously, no one cares about Castro unless you're an aging Cuban exile). The entire legal case against him is BS, a total forgery. Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

Discord, Twitter, Steam, Facebook all compromised

All these social media services have been compromised. The law enforcement interfaces have been backdoored by unknown hackers allowing them to impersonate or spoof the identity of users on the sites. It's the only explanation, these functions are undocumented. Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

Google bias exposed...
by jim bell 28 Jun '19

28 Jun '19

Undercover video shows Google exec warning over 'next Trump situation' https://mol.im/a/7178881 via http://dailym.ai/android ------------------Jim Bell's comments follow. A few days ago, I pointed out that it's time for a 'bias-detector' to monitor search engines for biases inserted by their owners/operators. I didn't mean to suggest that this would be easy. But as this new story makes clear, this kind of monitoring is not merely theoretically needed, but is clearly important given the admissions of this biased fool. The main impediment is trying to motivate skilled people to both write the programming, but also host the servers necessary. I hope that my isotope invention (s) will shortly (year?) 'turn on', if so I want to fund this project. See:. www.daltonium.com Jim Bell

The US government lacks legitimacy and credibility
by Ryan Carboni 27 Jun '19

27 Jun '19

No doubt as I post this, someone reading it will think "I know this, I took a class on it" The US government is illegitimate, uncredible, and irrelevant. Hopefully the members of the US government will become like the Stuart legitimatists, increasingly a bunch of old men in social clubs pining for some sort of different era.

Unsustainable Hypernormalization
by Ryan Carboni 27 Jun '19

27 Jun '19

If any government official who actually knows anything would try to explain away the MLK letter or even what is going on with Donald Trump, they would begin to indict themselves. "You see, we didn't have as many contacts with opposition research members before..." Increasingly few government officials actually understand what is going on, and the people who do won't try to inform them. Can someone like John Schindler actually explain themselves, why the United States can not function at least on an open basis? The quote "this evidence of non-corrupt motives weighs heavily" is as good as any. The US government openly lies, and refuses to sufficiently explain anything. How can you disprove a lie? If the government cannot lie, it will find proxies to slander on their behalf. And if you disprove the lie, the government will find some reason to avoid further discussion. I do question why anyone would be employed by the US government, or at least the seedier departments. What do they say, most people don't understand Iran-Contra like we do, topics the public is prone to outrage over is not up to them, because this is how a neoliberal democracy works? George Washington said factionalism invites foreign meddling. So in order to remove the product of foreign meddling, the US government is engaging in factionalism. Most congressmen anyway are up for auction, neocolonialism is just third world nations bidding to be colonized. Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

Was the MLK letter right to be sent?
by Ryan Carboni 26 Jun '19

https://20committee.com/2019/06/01/why-j-edgar-hoover-was-right-to-spy-on-m… Which reminds me of a part in Pat Buchanan's "Nixon;s White House Wars", where allegedly the FBI was going around trying to get journalists to publish based on some information that wouldn't hold up in a defamation case. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5048849/FBI-report-claims-MLK-nigh… >FBI report in new JFK release claims Martin Luther King Jr had 'all-night sex orgy' at workshop for church ministers, was the father of a secret love child and had affairs with three women including singer Joan Baez https://www.sacbee.com/news/nation-world/national/article182651026.html “As early as January, 1964, King engaged in another, two-day drunken sex orgy in Washington, D.C. Many of those present engaged in sexual acts, natural as well as unnatural, for the entertainment of onlookers. When one of the females shied away from engaging in an unnatural act, King ... discussed how she was to be taught and initiated in this respect,” the document reads. It is worth noting that recently, live on television, there was a woman who claimed to have been raped by Trump, who... decided to salivate at the concept of rape in general. It is very difficult to point out anything, but I suspect Martin Luther King had initial difficulty finding people to join his orgies given the upright moral character of so many people in his circles. The NXIVM cult is interesting by virtue of how it should be impossible for it to be kept secret. Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

The Ongoing Restructuring Of The Greater Middle East - [PEACE] [&] [COMEDY]
by Zenaan Harkness 26 Jun '19

Enjoy the lighter side of Zerowedgie ;) The Ongoing Restructuring Of The Greater Middle East https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-25/ongoing-restructuring-greater-mid… Authored (satirically) by CJ Hopkins via Off-Guardian.org https://off-guardian.org/2019/06/25/the-ongoing-restructuring-of-the-greate… So, according to the corporate media, and to President Literally Hitler, himself, while America was sleeping last Friday morning, the U.S. Air Force was just minutes away from bombing the bejesus out of some desolate outposts somewhere in the Iranian desert and launching another catastrophic military blunder in the Middle East. At approximately 0400 Zulu time, President Hitler and his top advisors (among them, John “the Walrus of Death” Bolton) were gathered in the Pentagon’s War Room, flight paths arcing across the big board. The hotline to Vladimir Putin’s office in St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow had been activated. The full force of the U.S. military was about to be brought to bear upon a package of top-level Iranian targets with no strategic value whatsoever. Apparently, “planes were in the air!” It was all so terribly, terribly exciting. This awesome demonstration of American resolve was meant to be punishment for the vicious slaughter of an expensive U.S. military drone, which was peacefully invading Iranian airspace, and not at all attempting to provoke the Iranians into blowing it out of the sky with a missile so the U.S. military could “retaliate.” [Map showing the 40 military bases the US has been compelled to position around Iran to combat Iranian aggression.] The military-industrial complex would never dream of doing anything like that, not even to further the destabilization and restructuring of the Greater Middle East that they’ve been systematically carrying out the since the collapse of the former Soviet Union, which … more on that in just a moment. ...
