I just assumed someone on one of the lists would have been in phone contact with JYA at some point or would have enough shared experience with him that they could recognize him/the way he writes in an email.

I don't know what's been going on for the past week with JY and some of the cpunks list, but I'd sure like to find out. -Shelley

Self-deprecating humor aside, what're the new 1,100 supplemental files?

How to minimize one's damage in case the usa kicks the bucket?
by Georgi Guninski 14 Oct '15

14 Oct '15

The financial situation in the usa is quite grave. Assume very severe financial crisis hits the usa relatively soon causing hyperinflation there and possibly in other countries. I am interested: How to minimize one's damage in this situation? Some suspicions: Banks/exchanges are known Ponzi schemes, so how much the banking system will remain intact is unclear to me. Some possibilities real estate outside usa gold (is gold certificate secure enough?) bitcoins (some people got burnt, security of bitcoins not clear to me) ??? Please post political rants in other thread.

A few days old, but I didn't see it up on Cryptome. I'm getting intermittent 403s when trying to access the main page at https://wikileaks.org/tpp-ip3/. If so, try going to the first page of the document which gives you the option to download the entire pdf: https://wikileaks.org/tpp-ip3/WikiLeaks-TPP-IP-Chapter/page-1.html Direct link to pdf: https://wikileaks.org/tpp-ip3/WikiLeaks-TPP-IP-Chapter/WikiLeaks-TPP-IP-Cha… -Shelley

I assume you mean because of all the anti-semitic remarks, shoah denying, racist remarks and talk of racial cleansing that hasn't been going on? Different opinion=wrong-bad-evil-hate-suspect-accuse I guess there has been *some* intolerance and personal attacks, though....
