Surprising (to me) and nice to know - The Universal OS is slowly steamrolling along... world domination now only days away :) >From this week's LWN: At the time of writing, more than 10% of the web is powered by Debian. How many web sites would you have missed today without Debian? Debian is the operating system of choice on the international space station and countless universities, companies and public administrations rely on Debian to deliver services to millions of users around the world and beyond. Debian is a highly successful and is far more pervasive in our lives than people are aware of, even within the GNU/Linux community. — Chris Lamb https://lwn.net/Articles/727985/ http://debianbrasil.org.br/blog/an-interview-with-chris-lamb-the-current-de…

Sweden Bans Mandatory Vaccinations Over 'Serious Heath Concerns'
by Zenaan Harkness 20 Jul '17

20 Jul '17

It's that little "compulsory" bit that, evidently, gets even non-anarchists riled up. Suprising that this is from Sweden, but hey, perhaps there's an iota of hope for the original blonde bombshells yet? ----- Forwarded message from Jim <jim.sovereign(a)optusnet.com.au> ----- Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2017 19:12:22 +1000 Sweden Bans Mandatory Vaccinations Over 'Serious Heath Concerns' Red Ice Radio <https://redice.tv/red-ice-radio> 21 <https://redice.tv/news/sweden-bans-mandatory-vaccinations-over-serious-heat…> May 18, 2017 Source: yournewswire.com <http://yournewswire.com/sweden-mandatory-vaccinations/> Sweden has banned mandatory vaccinations, citing “serious health concerns” and the fact they violate a citizen’s constitutional rights to choose their own healthcare. The Swedish Riksdag (parliament) rejected seven motions on May 10 that would have enshrined forced vaccinations into law, stating “It would violate our [Swedish Constitution] if we introduced compulsory vaccinations, or mandatory vaccinations.” Noting also the “massive resistance (by Swedes) to all forms of coercion with regard to vaccinations“, the Riksdag also made reference to “frequent serious adverse reactions” in children who receive vaccinations. An English translation of the Swedish report <http://www.thenhf.se/riksdagen-rostade-nej-till-alla-vaccinmotioner/> : “NHF Sweden sent a letter to the Committee and explained that it would violate our Constitution if we introduced compulsory vaccinations, or mandatory vaccinations as was submitted in Arkelsten’s motion. Many others have also submitted correspondence and many citizens have called up Parliament and politicians. Parliamentary politicians has surely noticed that there’s a massive resistance to all forms of coercion with regard to vaccinations. “NHF Sweden also shows how frequent serious adverse reactions according to the rate at which FASS specifies in the package leaflet of the MMR vaccine, when you vaccinate an entire year group. In addition, one must take into account that each age group will receive the MMR vaccine twice, so the side effects are doubled. We must not forget that, in addition, similar adverse reaction lists apply for other vaccines. “In the letter, we have even included an extensive list of the additives found in vaccines – substances which are not health foods and certainly do not belong in babies or children. We also included for lawmakers a daunting list of studies that demonstrate vaccination is a bad idea.” The full report can be accessed here <http://www.thenhf.se/riksdagen-rostade-nej-till-alla-vaccinmotioner/> . The Swedish Riksdag’s sensible decision flies in the face of what is happening in the United States and other western countries right now. Big Pharma has lawmakers in a choke hold, dictating policy and using the corrupt media to silence dissenters. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently appeared <http://yournewswire.com/robert-kennedy-truth-bomb-vaccine/> on the Tucker Carlson Show and bravely exposed the “lawless mafia state” that is Big Pharma and their “extremely lucrative” vaccines scam. “The pharmaceutical industry is so powerful,” RFK Jr explained. “They give $5.4 billion a year to the media. They’ve gotten rid of the lawyers, so there is no legal interest in those cases. They have really been able to control the debate and silence people like me.” Asked how things could get this bad, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. explained that Congress granted Big Pharma “blanket legal immunity” when it comes to vaccines. Big Pharma became a law unto themselves after President Regan signed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Childhood_Vaccine_Injury_Act> . They can put toxic ingredients in your vaccines, they can seriously injure your child – but you cannot sue them. “What you have to understand is that the vaccine regimen changed dramatically around 1989. The reason it changed, Tucker, is that Congress, drowning in pharmaceutical industry money, did something they have never done for any other industry – they gave blanket legal immunity to all the vaccine companies. “So that no matter how sloppy the line protocols, no matter how absent the quality control, no matter how toxic the ingredients, or egregious the injury to your child, you cannot sue them. “So there’s no depositions, there’s no discovery, there’s no class action suits. All of a sudden vaccines became enormously profitable.” The enormous profits in the unregulated industry meant Big Pharma companies raced each other to produce new and unnecessary vaccines to pump into newborn children – often dozens at a time. “It became a gold rush for the pharmaceutical industry to add new vaccines to the spectrum.” But at what cost? The vaccine industry, operating under their own rules – or rather, complete absence of rules – is making it impossible for us to find out the facts. President Trump has long called for an independent inquiry into vaccine safety. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is calling for the same. “I got three vaccines and I was fully compliant. I’m 63 years old. My children got 69 doses of 16 vaccines to be compliant. And a lot of these vaccines aren’t even for communicable diseases. Like Hepatitis B, which comes from unprotected sex, or using or sharing needles – why do we give that to a child on the first day of their life? And it was loaded with mercury.” Tucker asked, “We do give that to children?“ “We continue to give it to them. The mercury has been taken out of three vaccines, but it remains in the flu vaccine, and it is still in vaccines all over the world. And it is the most potent neurotoxin known to man that is not radioactive.” “How can we inject that into a child?” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tried to put the outrageous situation into context. “If you take that vaccine vial and break it, you have to dispose of that as hazardous waste. You have to evacuate the building. Why would you take that and inject it into a child?” Source: https://redice.tv/news/sweden-bans-mandatory-vaccinations-over-serious-heat…

In America, Most Republicans Think Colleges Are Bad for the Country - education, intellect, and or liberal arts, a threat

Education. Some fear it, say that educated people are a threat to the uneducated, "lefty liberals" try to shut down free speech and run only LGBTQQPPC and "arts" courses (they don't call it Liberal Arts for nothing). When your "education" institutions have thoroughly clamped down on free speech and the average "educated" person has disdain for classical education, perhaps you -ought- be fearing your education institutions. This classic interview with an ex-KGB officer shall forever go down in history as oh so poignant: Ex-KGB officer Yuri Bezmenov Explains United States Targeted Public Schools for Change https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obr1XqUPEII (17 minutes) A great quote from a slashdot commenter in the following article, responding in exasperation to someone using language <ahem>liberally</>: "It's not ad hominem to accuse someone of a position that they hold." Of course, logic never was a unit in your local Liberal Arts "degree" ... In America, Most Republicans Think Colleges Are Bad for the Country https://news.slashdot.org/story/17/07/15/0037248/in-america-most-republican… An anonymous reader quotes the Chronicle of Higher Education: A majority of Republicans and right-leaning independents think higher education has a negative effect on the country, according to a new study released by the Pew Research Center on Monday. The same study has found a consistent increase in distrust of colleges and universities since 2010, when negative perceptions among Republicans was measured at 32 percent. That number now stands at 58 percent. By comparison, 72 percent of Democrats or left-leaning Independents in the study said colleges and universities have a positive impact on the United States... In the Pew Research Center's study, distrust of colleges was strongest in the highest income bracket and the oldest age group, with approval levels of just 31 percent among respondents whose family income exceeds $75,000 a year and 27 percent among those older than 65.

monetary and tax scams - remember the "Free Energy Efficient Light Globes and Shower Heads" stalls?

----- Forwarded message from Gil May <gilmay97(a)gmail.com> ----- From: Gil May <gilmay97(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2017 13:47:46 +1000 Subject: Free Energy Efficient Light Globes and Shower Heads *Free Energy Efficient Light Globes and Shower Heads* Remember the stalls in shopping centres years ago, where you signed a paper and you either wrote your address or the attendant wrote it for you, and got 6 free energy efficient light bulbs and a shower head? That paper was a legally binding contract that you should have read properly. When you signed you legally singed the carbon trading rights to your property to the ‘company’ and it is irreversible without a Supreme Court order that would be fought to the High Court you could not afford. These worldwide companies are putting million$ into getting Carbon Trading Rights into law. Overnight they then become millionaires at our stupid expense. Some received a lot free bulbs and shower heads that were given to poor needy families, there appeared to be many unusual addresses? ----- End forwarded message -----

[RUS] Malorossiya (LittleRussia) - folks attempting to peacefully stabilize their lives with new mini-state
by Zenaan Harkness 18 Jul '17

18 Jul '17

Given the West's firetruckery for decades, imposing drones on weddings, coups on relatively stable nation states, financial sanctions on anyone who says "the USA is a terrorism sponsor" (see childish new "words always hurt the USA" Iran sanctions: http://theduran.com/us-iran-sanctions-are-a-tit-for-tat-measure-that-is-par… ) there are not so many options left for the families and people that remain in the Donbass region (Eastern Ukraine) - Russia will of course be absolutely vilified if they accepted the will of the people who live there (they're predominantly Russian - just like in Crimea) e.g. by way of referendum (if it were to happen, again, as happened in Crimea) We dalliance with crypto and virtual currencies, reminisce about WW2 oceanic data centre bunkers and dream of a floating super tanker "fully liberal dude, fully liberal" micro jurisdiction, yet the facts on the ground are that real people suffer the real death and destruction of the existing nation states/ world powers, and no floating ship is going to help them, at all, ever! Those "liberals" who proclaim "how wonderful it is that our glorious Western Democracies uphold The Rule Of Law (TM)(R)", appear to find every epithetic excuse to decry for example the Crimean referendum - and most likely without ever having read that speech which shall forever go down in history which speaks to the heart of all who can hear. We in our gilden shiny things cages, arm chair Supreme Pontificates, pass out disdain and cynicism like it's going out of fashion, shedding no tear for empathy of those who are at the coal face of a global geopolitical war and have lost friends, family and limbs as a direct result. "Oh but they're Ukraine's 'domestic terrorists' and Kiev is right to continue shelling its own civilians." "But it's a Russian invasion against helpless neo-nazi highway Banderites - and besides, what's a little pillaging and raping amongst CIA friends anyway? But a REFERENDUM?!?! HOW DARE THEY!!! THAT'S NOT HUMAN FREE WILL THAT'S RED STATE AGGRESSION!!!!" Of course ... hypocrisy never knew any self restraint nor bounds. The brittle, belligerent arm chair generals spewing their CIA approved rhetoric can neither be reasoned with, and care not for reality, let alone empathy and genuine human free will. "But I'm just doing my dirty CIA job - and soon I get to retire and THEN I'll do the right thing." Yeah yeah, heard it all before - save it for the grave! 5 reasons the Malorossiya declaration is a modest proposal that the EU, Russia and US should support http://theduran.com/5-reasons-the-malorossiya-declaration-is-a-modest-propo… DONETSK: Alexander Zakharchenko declares new state of Malorossiya http://theduran.com/donetsk-alexander-zakharchenko-declares-new-state-malor… Poroshenko vows to restore sovereignty over Donbass after Malorossiya proposal http://en.apa.az/world-news/europe/poroshenko-vows-to-restore-sovereignty-o… Stratfor on Twitter: "The rebels' proposal for a new state ... https://twitter.com/Stratfor/statuses/887434393597480961 Donetsk Republic Leader's 'Malorossiya' Proposal His Own Initiative https://sputniknews.com/politics/201707181055660081-dpr-malorossiya-kremlin/ Ukraine: A New State to Solve an Old Problem - Stratfor Worldview https://worldview.stratfor.com/article/ukraine-new-state-solve-old-problem (At least the "jnn(a)synfin.org" asset is a man with a big heart and plenty of empathy - intelligence++ all around.)

----- Forwarded message from "Mr Gerrit H. Schorel-Hlavka O.W.B." <inspector_rikati(a)yahoo.com.au> ----- Zenaan, and this is why I publish documents without delay as to avoid the trap they can kill me before I can publish. It isn't just about keeping the dream alive but to keep yourself alive. Also, I keep even my McDonalds receipts and others, not because of any value other than that I can proved where I was at a particular time. I have been accosted by police at times about my whereabouts because of allegations and time and time I was able to prove to be at a total different location. This also because I kept a record as to speedo, time, distance, where I was, etc.When I park somewhere I usually take a picture of the location as to be able to prove I was there at a certain time, etc.Again on various occasions the police tried allegations against me (I am well aware to them so to say I am a pain in the neck) but each time they got nowhere. with the kind of work (unpaid) I am involved with I have always been aware I am a target and so knowing that I make sure that I am ahead of them. Again, so far I have succeeded. My wife knows virtually nothing about what I do (write about, etc) and has no knowledge of my passwords nor about where I keep any backup disk/computers at other places. And again I was smart enough to do so, this because about a year ago someone phoned and despite my warnings she facilitated the caller to access her laptop. Just that it is her laptop and has absolutely no information on it, as not even bank account details are used on that computer. The computer simply became useless (and I replaced it as it couldn't be trusted) but she learned a lesson! She found it strange he could see her, and I explained the removed the sticker on the camera and so he could remotely watch her, etc. People often fall for scams and regretfully no matter how often one warns a person they still fall for it. Let people reading your email keep in mind that it might be a hassle to keep ahead of any problematic incidents but in the end it is worth it. At least I have had this for about 4 decades that I was ahead of others to avoid certain problems. Gerrit Constitutionalist & Consultant MAY JUSTICE ALWAYS PREVAIL®Mr. G. H.

Promotion of Democracy is the Privatization of Power
by Ryan Carboni 16 Jul '17

16 Jul '17

In the same minute of MSNBC, you could hear about how special interests control too much of our politics, but that foreign countries need more democracy. We were attempting to spread democracy to Afghanistan, but Harmid Karzai is incredibly corrupt. The war on terror has all but ended opposition politics in Malaysia ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfpYZ4IGenY watch this and try to figure out how this guy is in the cabinet) . Actually the War on Terror aims to fund the security services of foreign governments to build non-direct diplomatic links to other power structures of a country. Everyone criticizes Hoover, but count the number of former Directors of the FBI and CIA who went on to become President. Alternatively, how many Hoovers are the CIA funding overseas? Why does the New York Times presents a less accurate view of the world than say... Gary Brecher or Zero Hedge? It's very difficult to change parts of the world without replacing their education systems, but we usually go guns ablazing instead. Police stand by while armed bandits in Mexico steal gasoline. What is going on in the world? What is being tolerated? What is being ineffectively fought against? Who is in control? Officially, there is the democratic peace theory, but we are against Iran, a democracy (perhaps its opposition is more regulated than ours, but still a democracy). What is the true reason behind the democratic peace theory? Perhaps when a country is sufficiently owned by international interests, it wouldn't benefit the international interests to have the two countries fight each other. When did democracy first become widespread, and what international interests gained power in that time?
