Ann Frank's step-sister admits "none [of the Auschwitz photos] were taken at the concentration camp" - [PEACE]
In a desperate attempt to keep the dream alive, anuddah fake arse jigga literally gone exposed another round of fakery - fake Auschwitz photos to be precise - all of them ones with any relation to Ann Frank! Welp, j.ggers gonna j.g! Fake Liberation Photos: Anne Frank’s Step-Sister Admits It was All a Giant Con http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/fake-photos-anne-franks-step-sister-admits-it-was-all-a-giant-con/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7933509/Anne-Franks-step-sister-claims-photos-showing-liberation-Auschwitz-FAKE.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-JM6ChF-Fw [literal fake Auschwitz "liberation" photo not attached] “Make it look real, lads! Act more oppressed.” On British television Monday morning, Anne Frank’s step-sister admitted it was all a giant con. Daily Mail: A Holocaust survivor has claimed that photos showing the liberation of Auschwitz aren’t real, because none were taken at the concentration camp. Anne Frank’s step-sister Eva Schloss, 90, who was sent to the notorious camp in Nazi-occupied Poland at the age of 15, appeared on Good Morning Britain today to discuss the 75th anniversary of its liberation. Eva was 23-years-old when her mother Fritzi married Otto Frank, making her the posthumous stepsister to Anne Frank, who had died eight years earlier in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945. She spent eight months at Auschwitz before the camp was liberated, and avoided being taken on a death march by the Nazis who fled with prisoners to try to cover up their crimes, because she and her mother overslept and were left behind. Wow, getting out of a death march just by oversleeping? The game must have been on Easy mode. And “taken on a death march by the Nazis to cover up their crimes”? Does that make any sense? Must have been like the death march Elie Wiesel went on but somehow didn’t die from, the one where he voluntarily preferred to go with his evil Nazi oppressors rather than wait for his Soviet liberators to show up. (Shortly before going to the nearest big town with his camp-mates to find some German girls to rape https://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/20/books/review/Donadio-t.html .) However, the survivor has alleged that pictures of Soviet Red Army liberating the camp are fake, because Russian soldiers hadn’t brought cameras, and says there was a heavy snowfall at Auschwitz at the time, which isn’t shown in pictures. She claimed that the photos, which apparently show the liberation, were in fact taken at other camps, but she didn’t give an explain her theory further in the interview. Like the Frank family, Eva and her family were discovered hiding in Amsterdam and Eva was sent to the notorious camp in Nazi-occupied Poland at the age of 15 She said: ‘It wasn’t just Auschwitz , they liberated all the camps in Poland and that is really not known. ‘Another thing I wanted to point out, there are many pictures about the Russians liberating Auschwitz and there’s never any snow. ‘The snow was honestly that high, I was at the Russian embassy once and I said “Something puzzles me, those photos are fake”. ‘They said, “Well yes, they are not fakes”, but when the army came they didn’t have cameras they didn’t take photographs. [Recuperation Block photo not attached] “Schonungsblock” = Recuperation block. Strange thing at an “extermination camp”, no? Eva appeared on Good Morning Britain today to discuss the 75th anniversary of the Auschwitz liberation ‘Only much later they took pictures, you see now, but this is definitely not in Auschwitz and not the liberation of Auschwitz.’ [chubby cheeked boys and girls "Auschwitz" photo not attached] Chubby-cheeked children, looking remarkably well-nourished as they are “liberated” Here’s the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-JM6ChF-Fw Notice the host tries to interrupt her when she starts saying the photos were fake, but she just continues speaking over him. There’s still a lot of nonsense in her account of her experience. She complains her mother was selected to be “gassed” by Mengele himself (amazing how these people always have personal encounters with Mengele). But she met her mother later on, still alive and ungassed. Somehow the gassing didn’t work. Maybe they ran out of gas. Or maybe she overslept that day and the inefficient Germans just let her off. Very oddly, Auschwitz "survivors" are repeatedly calling for shutdowns on free speech! "Shut it down" - now who could have predicted this? Auschwitz “Survivors” Call for a Shut Down on Free
Re: Sacoolas case: Will it help Assange?
On 29/01/2020 08:27, jim bell wrote: The one silver lining to this cloud of a case (biker hit by diplomat's wife in UK, who fled to America claiming diplomatic immunity) is that it might make the British judges think twice about approving the extradiiton of Julian Assange to America. No, they won't care. This is for three reasons: (1) The two cases are genuinely not substantively linked in any way, (2) the whole Sacoolas thing is Boris posturing so as to be seen to be doing something (even though it's a pointless something), and (3) Assange's extradition is already effectively decided; of course he's going to be extradited. An additional point on the Sacoolas affair: As I understand it, she had legitimate and genuine diplomatic immunity in the UK. As such, there was never any possibility that she could be held accountable in any way or that she could ever be extradited from the USA. As the US State Department said, it would set a dangerous precedent to extradite her. Like it or not, they are right. Even when diplomats commit serious (alleged) crimes, they are in practice exempt from prosecution in the host country. That's the way it has always been and, all things considered, the way it should be. I.e. The benefits of this arrangement outweigh the drawbacks, overall. It beggared belief in my view that the UK actually formally requested extradition of Sacoolas: They knew it would be rejected. They would have rejected it themselves if the circumstances had been reversed. The only possible reason to go ahead with the extradition request was, as I mentioned above, for the Boris administration to be seen to be doing something (even though they knew it could not, would not, and should not amount to anything). That the British government then expressed surprise at the rejection is even more absurd. After some looking, mostly using google to find ' "Julian Assange" "extraterritoriality" ' , I haven't found anything credible justifying the extradition of Julian Assange, for any reason. Isn't there an extradition treaty between the UK and USA? As such, if he is accused of a serious crime in the USA then there seems to be little reason for the UK courts or government to prevent his extradition (although the USA's apparent presumption of extraterritoriality certainly grates). He did not have diplomatic immunity, as Sacoolas did.

"This problem is > big low-hanging fruit, and there are many ways things could get better > I think." Authenticating to the tower doesn't get users one single bit closer to the trustable p2p e2e crypto required for actual security. Even if the entire ISO IETF IEEE EFF CCC stood and said "this new tower encryption is solid"... How soon people forget... The corrupt telcos gave everyone's ass away to govcorp, without even a corrupt fisa calea or criminal/civil warrant, many took a nice fee schedule for all that too. And the nsa and every other country just taps and dumps the unencrypted telco nodes / backhauls... into their own utah's. And telco employees get paid and moled out for hookers and blow. And 5G (4/3/2 too) is such fucked up spec and implementation they'll be press release self partying about their fake fixing of all the other intentional ecosystem firmware and signaling backdoors and bugs for the next 50 years. Not to mention telcos just swiss cheese privacy policy and NDA commercial contract your ass away like every other bigcorp RingFaceBoogleLexaDMV... Bypass that... Get a PSK, or voice confirmed TOFU, or use the software out there to do the key exchange over SMS... with all your call contacts. Plug that into phone app that sits on the audio bus or uses cell data IP, and ratchets out per session keys. With 4G and 5G making cell data reasonably cheap, and a somewhat more secure phone below, or better tethered to wifi hotspot or just plain wifi, things begin to become potentially usable for some everyday non critical use in 'smaller/cheaper/mobile than laptop' form factor. Thousands of people already do this. > A few years ago, I read that a disused, old cell phone (with no active > subscription) would activate in the presence of one of these Stingray > devices. Stingray is MITM. GSM a5 encryption long since hacked. A recent hack documented phone exploitability over baseband SMS. Baseband is untrustable adversary CPU, if the phones block design leaves baseband powered up to battery even if asleep, and if such baseband has access to the phones hardware control bus (main cpu power bus, etc)... turning on an "off" phone is certainly possible. You'd have to see if there's any news exploits of that being done. Or just probe around your phone pinouts and see what blocks are eating all the microamps when it's "off". Librem and Pinephone supposedly do some data bus isolation (serial) of baseband from the main CPU/RAM, instead of lame IOMMU or direct shared access, but you'd have to check about their power bus. Librem is a bit more chunky so it would be easier to verify. Unlike librem, pinephone switches are still internal, so you have to disassemble it, or wire in external extensions, to use them in real life. > But if the power consumption of such a phone could be > monitored continuously, that might implement a cheap, easy "Stingray > detector". Every tower base has an id, there are phone apps that read and track the power by id and notify on anomaly. Obviously such id's are spoofable and cooperateable. You can do a lot more with SDR, OpenBTS, be your own stingray. Beyond that is characterizing, discriminating, locating RF itself, much more time and $$$.
Portugal, then (1999/2000) and now (2016/2017) - stats - [PEACE] [MINISTRY]

Portugal leads the world on reduction of overdose deaths, HIV diagnoses and incarceration reduction. We need some big, big wins in America! These stats tell a big, strong and powerful story. Very powerful story to tell. America has big, powerful opportunities! Then & Now: Portugal's Drug Decriminalization https://www.zerohedge.com/health/then-now-portugals-drug-decriminalization During the 1990s, Portugal was devastated by a drug crisis where one in every 100 people became addicted to heroin and the rate of HIV infection soared to become the highest in the European Union. But, as Statista's Niall McCarthy notes, https://www.statista.com/chart/20616/key-developments-since-portugal-decriminalized-drugs/ Portugal's radical move to put an end to the carnage should prove an example to other countries dealing with similar problems, especially the United States https://www.statista.com/topics/3403/the-opioid-epidemic-in-the-us/ where opioids have killed more people than the totality of American military casualties in Vietnam, both Iraq wars and Afghanistan combined. That move was decriminalizing the consumption of all drugs and Portugal became the first country to do it. The policy saw the status of using or possessing drugs for personal use remain illegal. However, offenses were changed from being criminal in nature which involved prison as a possible punishment to being administrative if the amount possessed was no more than a ten-day supply. Needle exchange programs have also been in place since 1993 and today, all drug users can exchange syringes at pharmacy counters across Portugal. Drug treatment was also expanded and improved with successful results. Finding historical data highlighting the severity of the addiction problem during the late 1990s is difficult but some important numbers do exist which help to show just how remarkable Portugal's recovery has been. The following infographic pulls data together from several sources to illustrate some key developments. [ reduced stats image attached; convert -strip -quality 20% in.jpeg portugal-then_and_now-reduced.jpeg ] Back in 1999, Portugal experienced 369 overdose deaths and in 2016, the number was just 30. The number of new HIV diagnoses due to injecting has plummeted from 907 in 2000 to 18 in 2017. The new laws have also had an impact on incarceration with the number of people behind bars for drug offences falling from 3,863 in 1999 to 1,140 in 2017.
