And if such a sentiment as this were to take hold in the mind of the subject that would be the end of all security whatsoever"

Offst - A decentralized credit card
by realcr 25 Apr '19

25 Apr '19

Hi, I just published the first preview release of Offst. Offst is a decentralized payment system based on mutual credit. It's an open source project, written in Rust, licensed under AGPL3. You can find the release notes and more information here: https://www.freedomlayer.org/offst/offst-release/ Link to the project repository: https://github.com/freedomlayer/offst At this point Offst is only a bunch of command line tools, but I think some of you can already experiment with it. Criticism and ideas are welcome! real.

Papers Please: EU Goes Full Stazi all 350M in Biometric ID Repo

https://www.zdnet.com/article/eu-votes-to-create-gigantic-biometrics-databa… https://www.securityresearch-cou.eu/sites/default/files/02.Rinkens.Secure%2… http://www.statewatch.org/analyses/eu-interop-morphs-into-central-database.… https://twitter.com/StatewatchEU The European Parliament voted last week to interconnect a series of border-control, migration, and law enforcement systems into a gigantic, biometrics-tracking, searchable database of EU and non-EU citizens. This new database will be known as the Common Identity Repository (CIR) and is set to unify records on over 350 million people. Per its design, CIR will aggregate both identity records (names, dates of birth, passport numbers, and other identification details) and biometrics (fingerprints and facial scans), and make its data available to all border and law enforcement authorities. The CIR rules for borders and visa checks were adopted by 511 to 123, and nine abstentions, while the CIR legislation for police and judicial cooperation, asylum and migration was approved 510 to 130, and nine abstentions. Ever since plans to create this shared biometrics database have been made public last year, privacy advocates have criticized the EU, calling CIR's creation as the "point of no return" in creating "a Big Brother centralised EU state database." The system will slowly be expanded to include and track people that are not the subject of any criminal investigations, such as tourist traveling across the EU space. "Secure Safe Societies"...

Julian Assange put through 'hell' at embassy, says former diplomat
by jim bell 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

https://news.sky.com/story/julian-assange-put-through-hell-at-embassy-says-… Julian Assange was always respectful but went through "hell" in the Ecuadorian embassy as officials tried to "break him down", according to a former senior diplomat. Fidel Narvaez worked at the London embassy for six of the seven years the WikiLeaks figurehead lived there and says they became friends. Assange was evicted a few weeks ago after a change of government in Ecuador. Its new president, Lenin Moreno, publicly criticised the whistleblower and gave the impression the government ended his stay after growing tired of his alleged bad behaviour. Speaking to Sky News, Fidel Narvaez disputed claims that Assange had assaulted guards, didn't clean up after himself, didn't take care of his pet cat and even smeared human excrement on the walls of the embassy.

[MINISTRY] - France: Israel's Holocaust Museum: “human fat wasn't used by Nazis”; Alain Soral, Frenchman, 1yr jail for agreeing - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 21 Apr '19

Though shalt not poke fun at certain often-triple bracketted tribesfolks. Especially not by posting a lawyer's brief on your blog! Do NOT post lawyers brief's on yer blog if they reference certain triple bracketted tribesfolks, folks! Seriously, ANYone should know the basics of respect for le Juif! It's, like, 2019 already¡ Especially in France where "Chutzpah Hebdo" gifs on your prominent comedy blog result in your own lawyer defending said comedy being charged a fine of $5,000 for defending you. France is funny. Funny like a random 800 year old Gothic cathedral burnt as random propaganda to try to unite the people and break le Gilet Jaunes. The Lampshades and Soap are Back: Frenchman Sentenced to a Year in Prison for Denying Them https://dailystormer.name/the-lampshades-and-soap-are-back-frenchman-senten… If you thought the lampshades and bars of soap had been consigned to the mythology of the “Holocaust”, think again. Frenchman Alain Soral has just been sentenced to a year in prison for denying them. He did this by posting, on his website, a brief written by his lawyer, Damien Vigier, related to another case. In the text, Viguier says the shoes and wig were a “reference to memorial sites and sites of pilgrimage” that were “brought together to stir readers’ imaginations.” Concerning the wig, Viguier wrote “haircuts occur in all places of concentration for reasons of hygiene,” and said claims that Nazis made soap from human fat and lampshades from human skin were “war propaganda”. As far as I’m aware, no serious historian now maintains that the stories of Jews being turned into lampshades and bars of soap were anything but fiction. … we’ve reached the point where objective truth no longer matters. The lawyer was also fined 5000 euros for simply writing a brief that defended his client from the charges laid against him! … https://dailystormer.name/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/gd_dessin_charlie_hebd… … Jews are gloating about their latest victory over him. The International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism praised the ruling, saying the decision to impose a prison sentence on Soral, who has been convicted in the past, shows the “exceptional character” of the decision. …“We will continue to prosecute Mr. Soral as long as he makes anti-Jewish remarks,” said attorney Ilana Soskin, representing the International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism, which brought the January complaint against Soral. https://www.timesofisrael.com/extreme-right-frenchman-sent-to-prison-for-ho… … https://dailystormer.name/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Jew-lampshade.png

All that fuss and bother about Mendax
by Steve Kinney 21 Apr '19

21 Apr '19

Our comrade Mendax has a way with the ladies, including accomplished professionals like Argentine Ambassador to the UK (2006-2011) Alicia Castro: "Then we succeeded that he would be allowed to have a kitten, whose company he greatly enjoyed, and whose presence at the embassy has generated one of the most odd and obtuse amongst the complaints raised by the current president of Ecuador." http://theindicter.com/my-friend-julian-assange-alicia-castro-ex-ambassador… In my opinion, the whole current mess is not fair to James. Does anyone know who's looking after him now? Meanwhile, here's a rare find: Sensible commentary on the state of play on the legal front: http://johnhelmer.net/the-julian-assange-case-now-puts-the-us-on-trial-in-a… For the new kids: The theory behind the practice of Wikileaks in a brief and seemingly unfinished essay from Himself, courtesy of JYA: https://cryptome.org/0002/ja-conspiracies.pdf Wikileaks was originally presented as a community project, a "Wikipedia of" leaked documents, vetted and analyzed by a distributed network of volunteers. But when the Manning files showed up, Assange hijacked the project and put it on lockdown, presumably due to security concerns when presented with what may stand as The Leak Of The Century. Our Mendax pissed a lot of people off, yrs. truly included - but when Collateral Murder, War Diaries and Cablegate hit the nables, I forgave all. He surely knows the definition of "humility" but to him it must forever remain an abstract concept. Considering his impact on public affairs, I must endorse his tendency to do whatever the fuck he thinks will work. :o)
