Assassination Politics - Harpers article
I heard something on NPR in the car, part of their "This is Think" series, about an article on Harpers about ... Assassination Politics! The NPR story referenced Jim Bell and cypherpunks a bunch of times, and rehashed a bunch of shit that is in the article (which I wasn't familiar with). It also talked about scammers with fake AP markets. One of the things that struck me is that it seems most (none) of the intended victims were *not* being killed for being part of the government or being cops or anything remotely as Jim has idealized it. They were people being targeted for the same old stupid reasons idiots are always killing each other: unrequited love, jealousy, rage, etc. Link below: https://harpers.org/blog/2019/12/click-here-to-kill-online-murder-markets-da... Couldn't find the NPR bit online, I imagine it will show up here in the next day or so (it seems to be a couple days behind): https://www.npr.org/podcasts/478859728/think -- GPG fingerprint: 17FD 615A D20D AFE8 B3E4 C9D2 E324 20BE D47A 78C7
Pretty good reason for Jim's messages to disappear. At 03:34 PM 1/15/2020, you wrote:

LOL! Supporting what would be censorship, an attack on freedom of speech, merely because someone wrote something that generated negative publicity really is trolling gold.

Seems the correct link for the story is - https://harpers.org/archive/2020/01/click-here-to-kill-dark-web-hitman/ Although it was easily found from the first link I sent ;)
