Australian Government “My Health Record” - opt out now, before it's too late - was Re: Fwd: www.myhelthrecord.gov.au [WAR]

Australia is starting to come down hard. On this little piece of despotism, my fellow Aussies have a few weeks to opt out. Probably a good idea to opt out, and spread the word. Good luck, Zenaan ----- Forwarded message from Zenaan Harkness <zen(a)freedbms.net> ----- From: Zenaan Harkness <zen(a)freedbms.net> Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2018 17:23:07 +1000 Subject: Australian Government “My Health Record” - opt out now, before it's too late - was Re: Fwd: www.myhelthrecord.gov.au WOW! It's getting worse! I have opted out, I recommend you all opt out - data centralisation is just another step closer to an absolute fascist dictatorship. And remember - we in Australia already have ABSOLUTELY despotic "anti terror" laws, ON THE BOOKS, including: - indefinite detention - detention without being charged - detention without trial - criminal offence for family and friends to publicise the fact that you are detained - warrantless search, seizure, arrest and detention - warrantless meta data collection and indefinite storage (we are part of 5-eyes, now 6+ eyes) - rampant financial corruption (debt enslavement of the country/ population, under the constitutionally illegal fiat debt system instituted upon us at Bretton Woods in 1947) - and an ongoing, overwhelming litany more At least on this ridiculous back door to an "Australia" ID card, we can (for the next few weeks) opt out. Some would consider opting out, to be a wise decision.

Cody Wilson's "private" win
by Steven Schear 15 Jul '18

15 Jul '18

https://www.technologyreview.com/the-download/611623/the-files-you-need-to-… This was not a "real" win, it was a concession and accommodation. A real win would have been a Supreme Court decision striking down all publication and ITAR restrictions to export of any source code or binaries. I was hoping for something that fully embraced the initial Bernstein wins.

[WAR] Bibi starts front-running Trump: “Israel did not object to Assad’s regaining control over all of Syria”
by Zenaan Harkness 14 Jul '18

14 Jul '18

Excuse me while a cough, but dang, gettin' funny as bro, funny as :) Who woulda though Netanyahu would start front running Trump's summit with Putin? MSM head-splondins all over the place too. Grab some pop corn by the bucket, hey? Zerowedgie at its finest: Neocons Panic As Trump-Putin Meeting Could Mark Close Of Syrian Proxy War https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-07-13/neocons-panic-trump-putin-meeting… Netanyahu: “We haven't had a problem with the Assad regime, for 40 years not a single bullet was fired on the Golan Heights.” Well dang! Get the outta here… That of course sent Lindsey Graham's head exploding: Haaretz: Graham: "Without Assad’s blessing, the flags of Hezbollah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard would not be on Israel’s front door" McCain: "Putin is our enemy" Kagan-led neocon think tank ISW is outraged! Eli Lake laments the potential of the Obama main regime change wars winding down: this is "some alternate universe ... the most dangerous possible outcome" Netanyahu: "Israel did not object to President Bashar al-Assad’s regaining control over all of Syria" NYT: “a willingness to accept Mr. Assad’s resumption of control over all of Syria is no small concession,” said Amos Yadlin, a former chief of Israeli military intelligence President Assad has long vowed to liberate "every inch" of sovereign Syrian territory, something which but two years ago appeared impossible, yet which now looks increasingly inevitable. ...Precisely this scenario occurred just days after President Trump declared in the last week of March of this year that he wanted a complete US military pullout from Syria. What then immediately followed was the April 7 "chemical attack" provocation in Douma — just the thing that brought Trump's planned pullout to a grinding halt, instead resulting tomahawk missiles unleashed on Damascus.

Life, Death, and Encryption: An Introduction to the Pursuance Project
by The Cryptosphere 14 Jul '18

14 Jul '18

Just the messenger here. I've been doing some ad-hoc volunteering with Barrett Brown's Pursuance Project and their Kickstarter is 75% funded with three days to go. They can make this happen, but they need help. Press release below, blog post here: https://pursuanceproject.wordpress.com/2018/07/12/life-death-and-encryption… and Kickstarter here: https://kickstarter.com/projects/85883596/barrett-browns-pursuance-project Is your life or liberty at risk, merely because you report the truth? Because you are in contact with those who seek to change the world, whose lives are also at risk? According to Human Rights Watch, the answer is yes, and sadly, the risk is not limited to distant dictatorships, but exists even in so-called “bastions of freedom” like Canada and the US. Earlier this week an American congressman introduced the “Unmasking ANTIFA Act” which would criminalize protests and speech against the government. That is why National Magazine Award-winning journalist and digital rights activist Barrett Brown has created The Pursuance Project, an ambitious suite of interconnected tools for creating, assigning, tracking, and (optionally) publicizing team efforts, all protected by military-grade end-to-end zero-knowledge encryption. Simply put, it offers virtual conference rooms, calls, video, text, project management, all in as safe a digital environment as humans can create. Pursuance staffers cannot see what goes on in your Pursuance unless you make them team members. Neither can any government, nor anyone you do not invite. Think of the protection SecureDrop offers journalists and sources, but with that kind of security extended to your team communications, emails, texts, and more. And it’s free. In order to cover the development costs, Pursuance has a Kickstarter, currently 75% funded and nearing completion this Sunday, July 15. With the last ten thousand in sight, and the limited-edition rewards flying out, we’re thrilled to announce that Pursuance founder Barrett Brown will be a speaker at the HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth)conference in New York July 20-22nd, and was a guest on this Wednesday’s OTH (Off The Hook) radio broadcast on WBAI-FM and podcast, both presented by the hacker “Emmanuel Goldstein” aka Eric Corley, known for founding 2600, The Hacker Quarterly back in 1984, and for his role in the film Hackers. “We’re not asking for money so we can solve a specific problem. We’re asking for money so we can enable people to solve all of them.” Barrett Brown Barrett is an infinitely-quotable raconteur who was once accused of being a “fameball” by Gawker. Pursuance technical lead Steve Phillips is also a good interview, and can take these complex concepts and translate them into simple and compelling English. “No activist should have to entrust their life to Facebook. No one should have to choose between security and the ability to organize large numbers of people. No one should have to use platforms designed to waste your time in the course of trying to make their lives count. When Pursuance launches, things will be different.” Barrett Brown The stakes are high. This is our world now: a world where your own DMs, PMs, texts, and even your face, can be the biggest threat to your freedom. Help us change that. Help us spread the word about Pursuance. Help us create a better future for activism, for action, for journalism, for privacy, and for basic human rights. Pursuance Project Contacts: Contact: team(a)pursuanceproject.org / +47 407 67 074 For interviews with Barrett or his core team please contact Pursuance at onray(a)pursuanceproject.org / Raymond Johansen +47 407 67 074 The Pursuance Board of Directors includes luminaries from the worlds of whistleblowing, digital privacy, documentary filmmaking, human rights activism, and more: Thomas Drake, Birgitta Jonsdottir, Mano Singham, Alex Winter, John Kiriakou, Robert Tynes, Jay Leiderman, Barry Eisler, Russ Baker, and Raymond Johansen.
