"Wyden: On the security side, we are no longer collecting millions of phone records on people" False.

[WAR] Clinton associate, bodyguard etc, deaths
by Zenaan Harkness 10 Oct '16

10 Oct '16

So 46 Clinton associates over the years are now dead, including 12 bodyguards, various attorneys and others, as detailed in a recent print edition of uncensored.co.nz - someone just sent me a scan of the two relevant pages, but they're about 1.2MiB, so I won't forward them as is. Perhaps someone can post a URL for light online reading? Another Clinton Associate Found DEAD, Bill & Hillary’s Body Count Increases! http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/another-clinton-associate-found-dead-bil…

The Revolution Business: For Hire

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63zv2z5wcRo https://www.journeyman.tv/film/5171 The Revolution Business: Democratic change has been demanded across the Middle East. But was what seems like a spontaneous revolution actually a strategically planned event, fabricated by 'revolution consultants' long in advance? For similar stories, see: Not Anymore: A Story of Revolution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdPz2... After the Revolution - Georgia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvpVW... Exporting the Taliban Revolution - Afghanistan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClFxt... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otpor! Revolution consultants are the worst nightmare of every regime. Srdja Popovic was a founder of the organisation 'Otpor', a revolution training school. It was instrumental in the overthrow of Slobodan Milosevic in the 1990s and has now inspired a new generation of activists. Political commentators like William Engdahl are convinced Otpor is being financed by the USA. "The people from Otpor gave us a book in which they described all their strategies", says Ezzedine Zaatour of the Tunisian uprising. That book was written by an American, Gene Sharp, and is now considered the "revolution guide book", being used by opposition movements worldwide. As Otpor release their latest gadget, a resistance training computer game produced by the International Centre on Nonviolent Conflict in the USA, world leaders are voicing their concerns. "This is called a gentle coup!", insists Hugo Chavez. Alternate, subbed "Posao Revolucija"... https://vimeo.com/34179193

Torgate: Tor Pushing Another Person Out?
by grarpamp 09 Oct '16

https://twitter.com/shiromarieke/status/784357721789304837 Several sources say that a @torproject volunteer has been bullied out of the Seattle meeting because of their support for @ioerror. If true, this is very concerning information. What are you doing, @torproject? Can anyone confirm this information? https://twitter.com/jdormansteele/status/784226261312892928 David W. Robinson How will the hacker world reply to @torproject 's McCarthyite blacklisting of people who support #ioerror? Right now, it's mostly with fear. The @torproject "public" hack days were not open to people lacking the required "great attitude," definition being "Don't Challenge Us."

Wikileaks Hosts Secret Book Of Mormon Law

When Kate Kelly, founder of the Mormon feminist group Ordain Women, was accused of apostasy, she couldnt readily access the Church Handbook of Instructions, Volume 1, for the definition. So Kelly and Nadine Hansen, a lawyer representing her in her hearings, had to turn elsewhere. "The only way that women can access that volume is by accessing it online at WikiLeaks, Kelly told The Daily Beast. Before Church insiders began leaking Latter Day Saint videos and documents through the so-called MormonLeaks, WikiLeaks was an unlikely ally for church members looking for ease of access to restricted texts. And while the online organizations religious troublemaking is best known for its expose of Scientology, it also revealed previously unavailable documents from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Fellowship of Friends, and other organizations. The Mormon Church didnt take the leaks quietly. They tried to fight distribution by claiming copyright infringement. (WikiLeaks will not remove the handbooks, which are of substantial interest to current and former mormons, a representative of the group said at the time.) It is frankly annoying, as a woman, to be told, in a patronizing fashion, that I'm not allowed to see and read the CHI for myself, but that it has to be interpreted for me by a male priesthood holder,...

An opening to stop DRM in Web standards
by Steve Kinney 09 Oct '16

09 Oct '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Propaganda worth catapulting, IMO. :o) Tim Berners-Lee just gave us an opening to stop DRM in Web standards Submitted by Zak Rogoff on October 6, 2016 - 12:27pm This week, the chief arbiter of Web standards, Tim Berners-Lee, decided not to exercise his power to extend the development timeline for the Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) Web technology standard. The EME standardization effort, sponsored by streaming giants like Google and Netflix, aims to make it cheaper and more efficient to impose Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) systems on Web users. The streaming companies' representatives within the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) were unable to finish EME within the time allotted by the W3C, and had asked Berners-Lee for an extension through next year. Berners-Lee made his surprising decision on Tuesday, as explained in an email announcement by W3C representative Philippe Le Hégaret. Instead of granting a time extension — as he has already done once — Berners-Lee delegated the decision to the W3C's general decision-making body, the Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee includes diverse entities from universities to companies to nonprofits, and it is divided as to whether EME should be part of Web standards. It is entirely possible that the Advisory Committee will reject the time extension and terminate EME development, marking an important victory for the free Web. https://www.defectivebydesign.org/blog/tim_bernerslee_just_gave_us_openi ng_stop_drm_web_standards =or= https://tinyurl.com/kill-web-DRM -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJX+hr5AAoJEECU6c5Xzmuq1hkH+gMhcyGvkkcce/XC60+8E7A4 lUxawuOXIpnsvuArRoYhHdGDzSP2BbJcDkojbmFgbp2kYvL/PTOkODIl9FqnBTmM Bmp0JiQwwoequxwCZ6vXzKnBNnBq6TF4+j6ZCS4Gp0moV/etfAlFFiWN6VQL0D2Y Jy4gI1j5731vUQWariKIjiJBX+aUkqFNdPTLtCOIyOxDlICg94mRzq5M/cByRV0Z MovG8EJ4TJyxS5jTqW/T4PJpJ9j8/yMyzDH8I2qrsSDwiizrL4RY/DecHGtRV6xA a9hBS2mKX7i+Ah3VqE3vO/CfhmhZJuKwWhDkBbse1Ai4z8oWAJ1zocDLNgpjbg0= =3hKG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Freenet and OnionCat
by Mirimir 08 Oct '16

08 Oct '16

It may be old news, and Freenet peers connect well enough via OnionCat <http://mh7mkfvezts5j6yu.onion/>. I've been taking a somewhat different approach. I'm also using OnionCat, but I focused first on anonymously reaching peers via the open Internet. I have a node that hits the Internet through an "anonymous" VPS proxy. The node reaches the proxy via IPv6 OpenVPN via OnionCat. The node binds locally only to tun1, and in the proxy, tun1 forwards to eth0. Anyone interested in playing? Contact me off-list, if you like.
