Extinction Rebellion is clearly a CIA-Russian operation. Beyond that,
all organizations that offer membership to the public has a leadership
comprised of informants.

Major donors are said to include — inevitably — George Soros; Vivienne
Westwood’s son Joe Corre (the saucy underwear and dildo tycoon, worth
$48 million); the European Climate Foundation (which funnels money
from far-left American philanthropic foundations to European climate
projects); Greenpeace; the far-left Tides Foundation; and a little
known Swiss asset management company, called Furka Holdings, founded
by a banker with Russian links, which gave £50,000.


Server infrastructure talk for Extinction Rebellion

2020-01-26 Thread Greg Newby
I just watched an informative talk from 36C3 by Julian Oliver:
 https://media.ccc.de/v/36c3-11008-server_infrastructure_for_global_rebellion

At around minute 28 he begins talking about the specific server software, 
datacenter hosting, and other aspects of their operational security 
implementation. This description goes to around minute 44, and then there is 
some Q that is also quite informative.

Nobody asked him why they didn't use TOR -- presumably it wasn't even a 
contender. For sysadmin activity they use VPNs to countries with strict data 
protection laws (Switzerland and Iceland are mentioned). Data partitions are 
encrypted, and they have various contingency plans in the event a server is 
seized. 

At around minute 34, there is a list of the different software choices they 
made to support Extinction Rebellion. They chose alternatives to Slack, Google, 
Mailchimp, Zoom, etc. Some were found to be better than the better-known 
alternatives, and some were worse, for performance, scalability and usability. 
He mentioned that modern users are looking for something like a Google-based 
single sign-on, which is anathema to the anti-surveillance infrastructure they 
are focusing on.

The software and configuration choices are today's best-of-breed for making 
surveillance and seizure more difficult. This naturally includes not utilizing 
commercial solutions, and also naturally includes self-hosting the 
infrastructure.


ER is a global movement that is highly decentralized and, according to the 
first 28 minutes of the talk, is having an impact. This is primarily through 
non-violent actions. They mainly seek progress on combating climate change.

The 1000 crypto projects (currencies, tokens, assets, periphery, etc),
of which few are actually decentralized distributed privacy scaling
and generally of any note, promise, or future... they all still have one
common and grave mortal enemy they must band together to defeat...
Central Government Bank and Corporate Fiat Control Shitcoins.
This isn't Facebook's Libra for Lols, this is Government and Banks,
the very thing OG cryptocurrency philosophy is rightly against...
it's told right there in the Genesis Block. If CBDC's are allowed to
weasel their way into this space, this last new frontier, to wrap their
digital tentacles around you, and win... you will lose, forever.
This latest US Government CBDC rumbling... for "individuals and
business to use for payments", to "protect the dollar as the world's
reserve currency"... is a trick upon the world and must be fought.
The new world is about distributed, privacy, scaling, mineable, fungible,
permissionless, uncensorable, unstoppable, etc, and much more...
freedom... for all. Make it so.

Digital Dollar Project
Leading the discussion on a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency
2020-01-08

The Digital Dollar Project is a partnership between Accenture (NYSE:
ACN) and the Digital Dollar Foundation to advance exploration of a
United States Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). The purpose of the
Project is to encourage research and public discussion on the
potential advantages of a digital dollar, convene private sector
thought leaders and actors, and propose possible models to support the
public sector. The Project will develop a framework for potential,
practical steps that can be taken to establish a dollar CBDC.

Washington, D.C., Jan. 16, 2020 – “The digital 21st century is
underserved by an analog reserve currency,” said Chris Giancarlo. “A
digital dollar would help future-proof the greenback and allow
individuals and global enterprises to make payments in dollars
irrespective of space and time. We are launching the Digital Dollar
Project to catalyze a digital, tokenized U.S. currency that would
coexist with other Federal Reserve liabilities and serve as a
settlement medium to meet the demands of the new digital world and a
cheaper, faster and more inclusive global financial system.”

The purpose of the Project is to encourage research and public
discussion on the potential advantages of a digital dollar, convene
private sector thought leaders and actors, and propose possible models
to support the public sector. The Project will develop a framework for
potential, practical steps that can be taken to establish a dollar
CBDC.

Digital Dollar Project Issue Briefing

The time has come to explore options for a digital dollar, and the
principal members of the Digital Dollar Foundation (The Foundation)
have sounded the call for this needed dollar innovation. Together with
Accenture, a global leader in CBDC advancement, the Foundation has
formed the “Digital Dollar Project” (the Project) to study potential
avenues to utilize U.S. digital dollar tokenization and its
implications on the U.S. and global economic and financial systems.
The Project will seek to facilitate a public debate about a U.S.
dollar CBDC adoption. To ensure the dollar can serve the broadest
possible range of uses in a increasingly digital global economy and
thereby maintain its privileged position and support orderly
adjustment in international monetary relations, consideration needs to
be given to plans to adopt a digital dollar issued by the Federal
Reserve System (Fed).

assets.
