https://github.com/Enegnei/JacobAppelbaumLeavesTor/blob/master/JacobAppelba… Some elements are now in court, there are a number of people filing statements, here is one of them... https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.340308/gov.uscourts.c… For Exhibits A through P, run the 0.pdf from 1.pdf through 16.pdf . UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA OAKLAND DIVISION PETER TODD, an individual, Case No. 4:19-cv-01751-DMR Plaintiff, DECLARATION OF JACOB APPELBAUM v. IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFF'S OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANT'S SPECIAL SARAH MICHELLE REICHWEIN aka MOTION TO STRIKE PLAINTIFF'S ISIS AGORA LOVECRUFT, an COMPLAINT (ANTI-SLAPP MOTION) individual, Date: August 22, 2019 Defendant. Time: 1:00 p.m. Location: Courtroom 4 Complaint Filed: April 3, 2019 I, Jacob Appelbaum, do hereby declare: 1. I am a US citizen and a legal resident of Germany for the last six years. I executed this declaration in Germany. I am not a party to this lawsuit. Unless otherwise stated, I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth in this declaration. 2. I am an investigative journalist and an academic researcher in the fourth year of my doctoral studies in mathematics at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in Eindhoven, Netherlands. I was a contractor and an employee for approximately eight years with The Tor Project non-profit, a primarily U.S. and European government funded free software project designed to provide online anonymity. 3. I met the Defendant Sarah Michelle Reichwein a/k/a Isis Agora Lovecruft ("Defendant" or "Lovecruft") through a mutual acquaintance in a non-work context, they later joined the Tor Project as a contractor. 4. I have been a target of Defendant's pattern of malicious behavior, in a manner mirroring that described by Plaintiff Peter Todd ("Plaintiff" or "Todd"). Lovecruft's malicious behavior has included Lovecruft's publication of a number of public statements falsely claiming that I had sexually assaulted and raped Lovecruft and others. 5. For example, on June 3, 2016, the website <jacobappelbaum.net> was published. The website as originally launched was written as an impersonation of me, and then rewritten to pretend that the authors were concerned about my well-being after it received extremely negative feedback. A true and correct copy of an incomplete, archived version of the <jacobappelbaum.net> website as it originally appeared is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 6. As later modified, the website displayed several false and primarily pseudonymous stories by a "victims collective" alleging that I had "harassed, plagiarized, humiliated, and abused -- sexually, emotionally, and physically." True and correct copies of complete pages from this website are attached hereto as Exhibit B. 7. A true and correct copy of one of the false claims of sexual assault against me, which was initially published under the pseudonym "Forest" on <jacobappelbaum.net>, is attached hereto as Exhibit C. 8. On June 13, 2016, Lovecruft stated on their personal blog located at <blog.patternsinthevoid.net>, that Lovecruft was Forest in Forest's claim of sexual assault on <jacobappelbaum.net>. A true and correct copy of Lovecruft's June 13, 2016 blog post is attached hereto as Exhibit D. Further, Lovecruft stated that they had spent two years "seeking out other victims, in order to develop the collective capacity to defend ourselves and to have the simple ability to speak out in a manner which would be heard and not discarded." 9. Lovecruft later escalated their allegations against me to include claims of rape. A true and correct copy of an August 15, 2016 Tweet by Lovecruft falsely accusing me of rape is attached hereto as Exhibit E. Based on my prior personal and professional relationship with Lovecruft, I am familiar with Lovecruft's Twitter account and handle. 10. Lovecruft also falsely claimed that I had harassed them, threatened them, and sought to retaliate against them. A true and correct copy of a chain of Tweets that Lovecruft posted on October 11, 2016 containing a sampling of these false claims against me is attached hereto as Exhibit F. 11. Lovecruft's statements accusing me of rape and sexual assault are absolutely false. 12. Further, Lovecruft's statements accusing me of retaliation in any form, including harassment and threats, are also absolutely false. 13. Following Lovecruft's publication of false claims against me, I repeatedly and publicly expressed my commitment to working to resolve any conflict or misunderstanding arising from my personal and professional conduct through mediation or other means. A true and correct copy of one such public statement (comprising a Twitter chain and linked blog post) is attached hereto as Exhibit G. 14. As stated in Exhibit G and reiterated here: "Inevitably, there may have been moments in my professional or private life when I may have inadvertently hurt or offended others' feelings. Whenever I was aware of these instances, I have, and will continue to, apologize to the friends and colleagues in question and to continually learn how to be a better person." 15. Despite my efforts to resolve Lovecruft's false accusations against me, Lovecruft has refused any and all attempts at mediation. A true and correct copy of a May 12, 2017 Tweet by Lovecruft, publicly refusing to attempt to resolve this conflict, is attached hereto as Exhibit H. 16. While Lovecruft has repeatedly and falsely accused me of multiple crimes (including rape, sexual assault, threats, and harassment), Lovecruft never pursued civil or legal recourse against me either in Germany or any other country, thereby denying me the opportunity to clear my name through due process in a court of law. 17. As discussed above, Lovecruft has claimed that I perpetrated crimes against Lovecruft in Germany. However, Lovecruft has publicly rejected the use of the German legal system (see Declaration of Isis Lovecruft) and additionally, reportedly stated their intention to commit perjury in the event of court proceedings. Attached hereto as Exhibit I is a publication on 18 Oct 2016 by my former university colleague Kit, who uses the handle @SchrodingersK1t, discussing Lovecruft's intent to prevaricate in legal proceedings. 18. Since initially making these allegations against me, Lovecruft's accusations have been inconsistent in their severity. For example, in Lovecruft's Declaration, they represent their allegations as "sexual harassment" and "assault." However, in other fora, including a number of Tweets, Lovecruft accuses me of "rape" and specifically of raping her. A true and correct copy of a February 6, 2017 Tweet by Lovecruft falsely accusing me of rape is attached hereto as Exhibit J. 19. Lovecruft's accusations have also since escalated from "rape" to "serial rapist" and "gang rape" in different contexts. Attached hereto as Exhibit K are: a) a true and correct copy of an earlier, archived version of a blog post by Lovecruft, obtained from <https://archive.fo/qRvDF>, in which Lovecruft made accusations of "gang rape"; and b) a true and correct copy of a February 20, 2019 Tweet by Lovecruft, in which Lovecruft accused me of being a "serial rapist." 20. In mid-2016, as a result of Lovecruft's false statements and refusal to mediate with me regarding their false claims, I had no choice but to retain legal counsel. My legal counsel proactively reached out to the relevant authorities in Germany and offered my full cooperation with any investigation which might arise from Lovecruft's false allegations. The German authorities did not pursue any charges against me. True and correct copies of two articles originally published in German and English in the German news publication Zeit Online, as well as an article published by the Guardian on October 11, 2016, entitled Power, secrecy and cypherpunks: how Jacob Appelbaum ripped Tor apart, are attached hereto as Exhibit L. 21. Since initially making false claims against me in June 2016, Lovecruft has repeatedly courted the press to repeat their false claims against me. In these instances, journalists subsequently contacted me for comment, and I have categorically denied Lovecruft's false accusations. See Exhibit L. 22. I have otherwise striven to remain silent about Lovecruft's false accusations against me to avoid inciting or provoking further false publications by Lovecruft. I have proactively withdrawn from any event where I understood there was a chance of inflaming this or any related conflicts. When I am required to attend professional events for my doctoral research, I coordinate with the relevant parties in advance to explain that I am willing to accommodate others relating to this or any other conflict. The simplest accommodation is the easiest: I commit to follow the rules of their conference and additionally offer to leave if my presence is a problem. 23. Lovecruft's pattern of malicious behavior has included, but is not limited to, defamation, threats, and persistent harassment of myself, my romantic partners, my family, my friends, and my professional colleagues, as well as defamation of my character to uninvolved third parties. These third parties include community and professional conference organizers, employers, potential employers, and academic collaborators. 24. Lovecruft has sought to exclude me from any event they want to attend as well as other events, and Lovecruft has reportedly stated that they would like me to be removed from all countries where they might want to live. This would appear to include the country of my residence, Germany. See Exhibit I. 25. Lovecruft has encouraged others to target and exclude me in a similar manner. A true and correct copy of a June 7, 2016 Tweet by Lovecruft encouraging others to exclude me from the professional community is attached hereto as Exhibit M. 26. Lovecruft has targeted my doctoral research advisors, Professor Daniel J. Bernstein and Professor Tanja Lange. True and correct copies of Tweets posted by Lovecruft from October 2016 and October 2017, threatening and disparaging Professor Bernstein and Professor Lange are attached hereto as Exhibit N. 27. Lovecruft's pattern of malicious behavior and false allegations in the above- captioned case is consistent with their pattern of malicious behavior and false allegations against me and a number of individuals I know. 28. Lovecruft has frequently bragged about their reputation and ability to bully, assault, threaten, and lie to and about individuals. True and correct copies of Tweets posted by Lovecruft evidencing this behavior are attached hereto as Exhibit O. 29. Several individuals have told me that they are afraid of speaking against Lovecruft, lest they be targeted or further targeted by Lovecruft's pattern of malicious behavior. This reflects my state of mind as well. However, I could not live with myself if I had remained silent while Plaintiff was seriously harmed by the same malicious behavior that I have experienced and continue to experience. 30. Lovecruft's false statements have significantly harmed me and others and continue to harm me to this day. 31. Lovecruft's false statements and malicious behavior have resulted in my departure from a rewarding and remunerative position, my exclusion from professional conferences, and damage to my economic prospects. A true and correct copy of a GitHub article detailing the effects of Lovecruft's false statements and malicious behavior is attached hereto as Exhibit P. 32. I am of sound mind and body, though I am injured. I have relied on years of therapy sessions with medical professionals to cope with the trauma caused by Defendant's actions. 33. I consider Lovecruft's inclusion of their previously disputed and defamatory claims about me in this case to be another instance of the pattern of their malicious behavior toward me and toward other people whom Lovecruft perceives as supporting me. 34. That they will continue to mention me in this case is all but assured. I ask the Court to note my experience of that behavior as ongoing harassment and that I request it to stop immediately. 35. This declaration is not a full enumeration of the harms caused to me and others by Lovecruft. 36. I have requested that Lovecruft cease their malicious campaign of defamation and harassment. I reiterate this request and my offer to engage in good-faith professional mediation with whomever should desire it. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on July 26th, 2019. By: Jacob Appelbaum

Fw: Fake Suicides and Dead Man Switches
by Zenaan Harkness 13 Aug '19

13 Aug '19

----- Forwarded message from Gil May <gilmay97(a)gmail.com> ----- From: Gil May <gilmay97(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2019 19:17:45 +1000 Subject: Fake Suicides and Dead Man Switches Fake Suicides and Dead Man Switches Keep Enron's Ken Lay and Pedophile Epstein Alive Submitted by Dave Hodges <https://thecommonsenseshow.com/user/5> on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 13:57. [image: epstein] What is the true story behind the so-called suicide of Jeffrey Epstein? Only three days ago, Bill and Hillary’s further and highly suspicious associations with Bill and Hillary Clinton have, again, come into the light of day. From the perspective of many of the globalists there was a lot to lose in permitting this to go forward. Epstein’s attorney asked for a year’s delay so he could prepare a million pages of evidence. This was clearly a leverage ploy that Epstein was sending a message that he was going to take many household names down with him as possible if his demands were not met. He had to go. However, I am 100% certain that Epstein is not dead. How can I be so certain? Because I have been down this road before, both with Ken Lay, have and later I had my own situation with something called a dead man switch. If one really wants to understand and be certain about the fact the Jeffrey Epstein was not murder, and he did not commit suicide, then one needs to be willing process a lot of materials that sets the foundation that Jeffrey Epstein is alive and well. *Dead Man Switches* Loosely defined, a dead man switch is an insurance policy against being assassinated for what one and the accompanying threat of the release of incriminating evidence. Any who deals in highly sensitive and possibly incriminating material would be a fool not to a number of dead man switches. In this process, the valued information is shared with sources that will release the information upon the death of a potential whistle blower. The mechanics of this practice are simple and loosely consists of the following variables: Never give dead man switch material to a known associate. It is too easy to trace. Keep in mind that JFK assassination researchers believe that over 300 people were killed to keep some incriminating evidence from coming to light. These people included Lee Harvey Oswald to Jack Ruby, to Bobby Kennedy, and to media figure Dorothy Killgalin. - It is recommended that only people with at least 3 degrees of association distance be used. - No electronic or other communication between anyone in this chain can exceed one degree of association. - Individuals are used as drop points on a rotating basis and there are time limitations. The more sensitive the information, the shorter the time frame. It is not safe to remain the holder of information. Attorneys are a favorite source because of their confidentiality provisions. Losing one’s career is a powerful incentive for silence. - All materials must be hand delivered and frequently there is a chain of delivery protocols involving multiple source and the information is labeled as something benign. - The potential whistleblower cannot be allowed to know the final identities of the recipients for obvious reasons. The triggering process is automatic. There is more to the process, but this overview makes it clear that this a highly compartmentalized operation. And the failure to adhere to other strict protocols endangers anyone in the chain. *Applications of the Dead Man Switch* Breitbart failed to follow these protocols and he paid for it with his life, plus he made a major mistake in announcing the future release of information regarding President Obama. Breitbart received some very bad advice, or a lack of advice. *My Uses of Dead Man Switches* I have used dead man switches on two occasions, that I am free to presently mention, in my journalistic career. In 2010-11, I cracked the conspiracy between Goldman Sachs, BP and other globalist entities which demonstrated that the so-called “Gulf Oil Spill” was a conspiracy between various globalist interests for power and control. My work was cited on hundreds of occasions and received prominent credit by the late Jim Marrs in one of his books. *Benghazi Revelations* The other time that I used dead man switches was related to what I learned about Benghazi and the complicity of top level Obama officials including, but not limited to, Hillary Clinton and Leon Panetta. Benghazi occurred in the run up to the 2012 election. Rumors were circulating as to why CIA operative and Ambassador Chris Stevens had to be murdered to keep the stories of gun and drug running and child-sex-trafficking, out of Lybia, quiet so Romney could not use the material in the 2012 election. By the way, do you want to know how badly Romney threw the election? I sent him all the evidence on the day I went public. He could have destroyed Obama and chose not to. After the Ambassador’s assassination, I was approached by a very high level military/intelligence asset. He revealed how AFRICOM’s commanding officer, General Hamm and Carrier Task Force Three’s commanding officer, Admiral Gayotte were going to disobey orders to stand down and positively respond to the Ambassador’s repeated electronic pleas for extraction. Remember, then Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton had twice denied, as late as August of 2012, Stevens the ability to have his security team increased from 4 agents to a platoon of marines. She twice refused. Most of the country does not know how close the US came to experiencing a military coup over the Benghazi affair in which Obama allowed, at minimum, Ambassador Chris Stevens to be murdered by the very al-Qaeda forces that he was supplying arms to on behalf of the CIA in Libya and Syria. Coincidentally, Stevens murder took place just two months before the election when word on his arms deals were being rumored. Of course, this is just a coincidence. Two of the top four military commanders in the Middle East, AFRICOM commander, General Hamm and Carrier Strike Force Three Commander, Admiral Gaouette tried to launch a mission to rescue Stevens. This was a coup attempt in response to the reign of terror being perpetrated by Obama against the viability of our military. The American people have failed to recognize the sacrifice made by these two leaders. As Stevens was begging for help after the attack had begun, General Hamm had activated a special forces team within minutes of learning that the embassy, which was really a CIA safe house <http://thecommonconstitutionalist.com/2012/10/26/benghazi-the-cover-up/>, was under attack. When General Hamm received his “stand down” orders from Obama, he made plans to go ahead with the rescue and was arrested within minutes of contravening the order by his second in command, Colonel Rodriquez. Admiral Gayouette, the commander of Carrier Strike Group Three, was preparing to provide intelligence and air cover for General Hamm’s rescue team in violation of his standing orders and he was promptly relieved of command for allegations of inappropriate leadership judgment <http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/10/navy-replaces-admiral-leading-…>.” Stevens and his security team were subsequently murdered. Do not make the mistake in minimizing the fall of Hamm and Gayouette. The positions held by Hamm and Gayouette are so powerful and so sensitive, that their replacements required approval from the Senate. Make no mistake about it, this was a military coup being conducted at the highest level of our combat forces. Enter the clean up specialist, John Brennan was a former American intelligence official who served as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from March 2013 to January 2017 and he was brought in by Obama to clean up the Benghazi mess. I still do not know what happened to Gayoutte. Hamm avoided prosecution and converted Islam as did Brennan. Can we only imagine the headlines if Hamm and Gayoutte were successful in saving Stevens? Can you imagine the reaction of America had it been revealed that an ambassador, on behalf of the administration, was running guns to terrorists and was financing the operation with child sex trafficking <http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2014/05/23/if-ambassador-stevens-would-ha…> and the selling of guns and drugs? Would you have liked to have had a front row seat at the press conference when Stevens told all under an agreement of immunity? One of two things would have happened: (1) A military coup would have taken over the White House; or (2) The House of Representatives would have brought articles of impeachment against Obama and a trial would have been held in the Senate. Hillary would have gone to prison as would have most of Obama’s cabinet. The globalists, seeking to destroy America, through the destruction of the military, would have suffered a tremendous setback. If Stevens only had a dead man switch. Subsequently, and for my protection, I let it be known that I had already disseminated the information before releasing the Benghazi story. Some in the media chastised me in October of 2012 as being delusional. By February of 2013 thru 2014, many started to report the same facts. *Ken Lay and Enron* I had one other experience with dead man switch and it involved Ken Lay of Enron. Former CIA asset, the late Bill Pawelec, and former NSA agent, Vance Davis, and myself, were deeply involved with Ken Lay and Enron regarding the use of what is euphemistically called free energy and the origin of this energy source and I was told this the original source, was not terrestrial. With help from sources not known to myself, Pawelec had invented, based upon leaked technology a free energy device in which once the devices was powered up, it would run indefinitely without the need for a recharge. It was this technology that got Tesla removed as the elite’s scientist of choice in the 1920’ because they wanted to meter electricity and charge for the use. Enron’s Ken Lay was already in pursuit of this information when he and Bill Pawelec found each other. On the surface, their meeting was a marriage made in heaven. The two parties made plans to build an experimental community in the San Luis Valley in Colorado that was going to be based on this technology energy device in which once the devices was powered up, it would run indefinitely without the need for a recharge. So, what happened? Enter Andrew Weissmann, as he has served as a key political and legal hitman for years. Who is Weissmann? He was on Robert Mueller’s special prosecuting team and he led the prosecution of Paul Manafort, the longtime Republican operative who led Trump’s presidential campaign for several months in 2016. <https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/14/trump-campaign-chief-paul-manafort-pleads-g…> Back in the late 1990’s, Weissmann was sent by Clinton to disrupt our group’s association with Enron. In short, Weissmann was sent to take down Ken Lay and Enron. It has always been our belief that Ken Lay was innocent of all charges and he was taken down by Weissmann to prevent the release of this technology to the public arena. Subsequently, I was a party to a three-way-call between Pawelec, a senior Enron official and myself. In the conversation, dead man switches, related to our technology, were actually discussed. Later Pawelec learned that Lay did not commit suicide, he was given the option to disappear and live in obscurity in exchange for his life and the life of his family. Lay had this option because he implanted dead man switches which frightened the elite with regard to their control over key technologies which would free humanity. The climate change hoax, designed to gain control over all energy sources in order to “save the planet (lol)”, had to be maintained as the guiding governmental philosophy. In this light, free energy cannot be allowed to come to the surface. Ken Law was originally motivated because of the tremendous potential with regard to financial compensation and the freedom that that would be afforded to all on the planet. *Epstein’s Dead Man Switches* Epstein had proprietary information on the illegal and immoral sex habits of many of the global elite. Of course he had a dead man's switch. His day in court had to be prevented, just as Lee Harvery Oswald’s day in court was prevented. Dead men tell no tales. However, the dead man switches that Epstein surely would have been in place if he were assassinated and therefore, had to be negated. A fake suicide, just as I believe happened to Ken Lay, was the best solution for both parties. For these reasons, I believe that Jeffrey Epstein will live out his days in obscurity. Even President Trump does not believe the fiction being perpetrated against the American people. as exemplified by the President retweeting the following: ----- End forwarded message -----
