True. But then, it's crucial to hide the fact that you're hiding. That's
hard, I admit. Using public WiFi hotspots at distance with high-gain
antennas arguably provides the most privacy. But there aren't that many
open APs left. And high-gain antennas are nontrivial to hide.

I use nested VPN chains. So my ISP just sees that I'm using a VPN.
Everything else is buried deeper, using other VPNs and Tor.

There are ways to clean paper money of DNA, RNA and proteins. Using
enzymes, and mildly acidic and alkaline liquids. Gold coins are also
good, because you can clean them aggressively with no fear of damage.
Unless you use aqua regia, anyway.





Trump has the right to debate Biden - or a proxy for Biden - [PEACE]

2020-08-03 Thread Zig the N.g
Since the Demonrats are wanting to not put their cognitive disaster up on stage 
to debate Trump, this opens the door to Trump's right to debate a proxy for 
Biden, an actor who is at least a passing image of Biden.

   

This is going to be, from a comedic perspective, absolutely EPIC :D

And that is no matter whether the gauntlet of a Biden proxy for Trump to debate 
is enough to get the Dems to put actual Biden on the stage, or not.

Just search uncensored social media.  You will find huge numbers of

Search the official organs of the state, such as the New York Times or CNN.

What do you find?

What do you find on the official organs of our officially unofficial

You find a black "jogger" who was accosted by three white men after
committing a minor burglary, and grabbed the gun of one them by the
wrong end.

They are lying to you because it makes them holy.  It is like Christians
claiming to have witnessed miracles.

If any of miracles that they had witnessed actually happened, they would
be in the front page of the New York Times every day for the next twenty
years.

Everyone remembers Emmett Till, who was not in fact lynched, but
murdered, like no end of men of all races who made a pass at someone
else's wife.  The problem was not that she was white and he was black,
but that she had a jealous husband.

If in the entire history of the all of the United States, one black had
been lynched who was not plausibly accused of some serious crime, that
black man would be the poster boy for lynchings, not Emmett Till.

If these things are happening, how come we cannot walk down the street
without being reminded of it by big character posters every ten feet?

Remember Jussie Smollet.  If she was telling you the truth, why is every
single such story that media hears turn out to be a lie?

Remember the  Covington Boys.

The media are so hungry for such incidents, that they invent them.  They
search high and low for such incidents, and have not found one such
incident in the past several decades.  Remember all the drama about a
garage door opener that someone thought looked vaguely like a noose.

Are you sure they did not express dislike of her because of theft and
assault?  Are you sure she did not just stop turning up to college
because she got bored, and told a better sounding story?

If white people actually broke down the door of a black college student
while expressing dislike of blacks, you would not be hearing it from her
and I not be hearing it from you.  I would be hearing it on television
for days or weeks or months.

There has not been one arbitrary lynching for frivolous cause anywhere
in the United States ever, nor one such incident as you describe
anywhere in the United States in the past few decades.

The media has shouted no end of such stories from the rooftops, and not
one single one has ever held up.

It is a good thing (good for peace) that the Fed is realising that its subjects 
have a fundamental right to participate in the Fed's financial system.

Besides their idiotic "wanna be" mentality of chasing "app" windmills and 
wanting to "blockchain up" which will slow them down more than any Demonrat 
politician ever could.

To state the obvious, the Fed is essentially all existing brick and mortar, 
actual physical banks, and almost everyone on this planet has a bank account 
and there's no ridiculously power consuming and hopelessly inefficient 
blockchain in the way.

You know that's a "funny" thing about MOTUs - they have essentially the whole 
world at their command (literally just an executive order away), and they don't 
properly realise it, they think there is some greener pasture, when they 
already IN the greenest pasture! Owning the whole damn pasture, but nope "there 
must be greener pasture".

Idiots.

We saw the same stupidity dynamic in action with their focus on the hidden 
(underground) satanic underbelly of China, when all along "they" (i.e. the 
Western empire) had full possession and enjoyment of Australia, the actual 
greatest and wealthiest country in the world, and due to that firetrucking 
myopia, they allowed over 30% of our farmland to be sold down the drain to 
China (whilst we cannot buy a single matchbox of Chinese land!) - and the % has 
surely only gone up since a few years back, too!

If we had the death penalty here in Aus, Victoria's premier Daniel Andrews 
would be up for literal treason, and the people would bay for his blood.

Putin was flabberghasted and rightly admonished "our Western" stupidity in its 
endless self destructive forms when he asked "Do you realise what you have done 
now?" and said later the West have "made a monumental mistake" (with respect to 
deploying the currency sanction, not merely the threat).

Oligarchs hey .. some of them are certainly little more than glorified Frank 
Spencers from "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em".

It is a human right to participate in any financial system imposed / instituted 
upon us.

We have the right to financial agency.

Participation in our community requires that we have the right to participate 
in the financial system of the day.

Privacy is another fundamental human right.

Folks need to live their human rights.

Use it or lose it.

Tracks: Surfer - Another Cypherpunks Oddysey Begins

2020-08-03 Thread Zig the N.g
   Tracks: Surfer, The Catalyst
   2020 FC
   _Another Cypherpunks Oddysey_

   [Scene 1]

   The dream haunted him.  It did every night, chased him usually within one 
lonely and vicious time track.

   Lately he'd been noticing little things - he still died every night, but the 
fear was reducing, and the nightmares more often metaphors for reality.

   Wearily rubbing his eyes again, he noticed the sweat transferred to his 
fingers.  "Again!" he mumbled to his elf, to nobody and to everybody, wondering 
how many thoughts he had to not finish the formation of, how many he could 
speak before the watchers would reset the night, as they so often did.  That 
"childhood fancy" as had so often been dismissed had stood him well - that 
healthy, if excessive paranoia kept his mind alert, eyes open and "Life, 
secured!" as the weary joke ran.

   "Such a weak and emotional child" - the distant memory rang out to no one, 
from everyone, ancient black and white lorenzian swirls danced with the 
haunting sound track of Ye Olde Dr Who.

   Swinging his legs off the bed, The Catalyst wiped his damp hands on his dry 
nightshirt, picked up the pen and notepad, began to write the memories:

  A rotten hand reaches over the precipice.  I knew when it touched my arm, 
that time track would be forever stuck.
  Damn, it got me again!
  ("Such a bloody trope!" he thought to himself, "powerful little fuckers". 
 Yet those after effects - that knot in his stomach.)
  The next frame returned: he could see his idiotic brother, always bored 
as a young teenager and looking for mischief, grinning stupidly, but a bit 
evilly at him; "was that from life, or another time track" he wondered, unsure.
  Through the brush, had to get somewhere, out of here, time was running 
out, fear catching up, walking a track ("oh wow, that was a track" ... the 
writing had again caused his subconscious to give up an insight), following 
somone, he knew he should walk alone, or rather have the strength to walk alone 
instead of plainly, unthinkingly follow.  ("I'm working on that" he realised.)

  Next, standing on a bridge, a solid cement and stone bridge, the old 
Knight's Pass, just one of hundreds of course.
  Ghouls looking particularly humanoid and bland, but sufficiently gray as 
to be "certainly" ghouls, slowly lifted their NPC arms, taking slow step 
towards me.
  ("So tropish man, this is getting ridiculous!" but it had already 
happened, his duty to write continued.)
  A great friend was next to him, the voice of friendship, handing him the 
usual silver rovolver with silver bullets ("YES! The tropes!" :D).

  He knew he could fire the gun, but that premonition extended to the 
slowness of the bullets (shut UP already) - he shot off one, two, three silver 
bullets and not only were they slow, they curved!  Cheeky bullets!
  (Ahh, "faith", a long way to go young wanna be knight in training!)
  The closest ghoul was at least a big step closer, and barely a large step 
away.  He took a step back.
  His "brother in spirit" stayed at his side.

  Bullets were returning now.  Yes, cause and consequence - no matter the 
tool, action and reaction, thus the need to always surf.
  These did not curve, had a slight yellow tinge, but were only slightly 
quicker than slow, and oddly seemed to stop right in front of him.

  He double checked the time track;
  Yes, they stopped.  And was just about to assert a complete faith failure 
for the night.  "Well that's at least mildly edifying" he mumbled in his 
thoughts.
  Why did it stop?  His hand had risen, a tiny shield, but a shield it was 
- ahh yes, a shield of faith.
  Hmm, a little disconcerting, more fear.
  Must need more faith (ya think?! "Yes boss!")

  Then there were two, three bullets in return, but they quickly stacked up 
in one spot, squashing each previous bullet in mid air.  That was handy, the 
shield was useful.

  Fear finally crept over him and he woke.


   Lorenzian butterfly wings haunted him.  He was compelled, "just wired this 
way" he thought to himself with a wry grin...

   Just as he began to pray for forgiveness and redemption again, to protect 
the DUMB warriors liberating the thousands of children, an instruction, a 
conjunction of real life snippets from the last two weeks, became evident or 
"presented itself" to his ever umble mind:

  "write"
  "it seems I share these dreams with you for a reason"
  "in faith"
  "it's for a reason"
  "sharing"
  "time track surfing"

   He yawned, donned some warmer layers and shuffled over to the keyboard from 
the Glory Realms.
   "Better get some work done" he muttered, confirming the ungodly hour of the 
morning as the screen came to life.

   Time Surfers, eh?  Are we really surfing time tracks?

  "Yes"

   It wasn't even a whisper.  Not even, barely a thought.  A memory, forged on 
that bridge and from the voice

The Threat of Privacy
By Charles M. Kahn1

Like artists, we academics want to believe that 
if one of our works doesn’t get enough 
attention it’s because we’re ahead of our 
time. I’d like to pretend that everything 
I’ve written is pathbreaking, and will 
eventually be recognized for its true 
importance. But I have to admit that there are 
really only a couple of cases where I can say 
with hindsight that something I wrote has been ahead of its time.


One of them2 is a paper written with Jamie 
McAndrews and Will Roberds, published in 2005, 
and titled “Money is Privacy.” We wrote it 
partly as a response to Narayana 
Kocherlakota’s famous paper “Money is 
Memory,” which could be taken as arguing that 
cash is essentially a record‐keeping device, 
tracking who was a net creditor and who a net 
debtor to society with respect to resources 
provided or consumed. The implication was that 
if it became easy to keep credit records directly, cash could wither away.
In our paper we argued instead that a key role 
of cash was its ability to protect the 
purchaser’s identity. So we predicted that, 
even while the reductions in costs of record 
keeping and increases in the speed of data 
transmission were expanding the usage of 
credit‐ and deposit‐account‐ based 
payments arrangements, cash would survive. 
Because the desire for privacy would always 
generate demand for cash, it would be a 
mistake—and ultimately futile—to attempt to 
abolish it. At the te time, people were attuned 
to many of the problems of privacy, but there 
had not yet been a clear recognized link between 
the value of privacy and the role of payments 
systems. (Remember, bitcoin was only released in 2009).

Hey Zenaan.

You have written too many strange interpretations of my words here for me

Karl, you say, and I'll quote only one last time: "blacks killing whites ... 
seems the lesser issue to me", and you say this immediately after alleging 
"whites killing blacks for sport", and so with these words, and with this 
juxtaposition that you put to us, you dismiss the killing of whites, by blacks, 
as "the lesser issue to [you]".

You then give two justifications for the killing of whites by blacks (in 
comparison to the purported by you, killing of blacks by whites) when you say 
both a) "honestly there are so many of us" and b) "our way of life seems so 
harmful to me".

From these words there is no statement from you that you wish to preserve the 
lives of whites, only to blame them for "killing blacks for sport" which you 
allege to be true in "recent times", and in fact, you dismiss (in these words 
you use) the preservation of the lives of whites, repeatedly, with your stated 
justifications and with your statement further below that "Death happens: the 
question is whether we hold it as a goal".

So according to you Karl, when it comes to whites killing blacks it happens as 
you allege "for sport" and you seem to imply that we must stop this "to 
preserve blacks" and according to you we must "fight to preserve .. their 
[blacks] numbers", but when it comes to blacks killing whites, you justify your 
failure to defend the right of whites to live (to "preserve their numbers") 
because you say "honestly there are so many of us" and further you add that 
'our way of life is "so harmful"', and you say these things without any 
suggestion that the numbers ought be irrelevant (in fact you raised the very 
issue that the numbers of "white lives" is in fact a ground on which you 
dismiss the preservation of white lives).

Karl, based on this exchange so far, you are using words, and defending 
positions which you are putting to us, which are abhorrent to any Soul who 
values all others, all lives irrespective of skin color, and these positions 
when held sufficiently, lead directly to great despotism upon people.

Further, you appear either intentionally or unintentionally oblivious to the 
plain implications which normal people infer and take from your apparently 
quite carefully chosen words (and if you did not personally choose your words, 
but merely parrot what others have said to you, then you are not a thinking 
person of these words, and in that case you are speaking carelessly, but still 
very dangerously).

Further, you repeatedly deny the existence of evil, and below say that you "do 
not believe in evil", and that you "do not believe anything opposes the life of 
another" (again, these are your exact words) and you say further that bullets 
used to murder another are not an example of evil, but instead show us only 
that bullets and murderers are according to you "[only] isolated parts of the 
system that relate to producing the death, coming out in placing human blame on 
a metal bullet without context" - and you say this is without context, even 
though the context was named (murder) and even though in fact it was you who 
raised this very context (the purported killing of blacks for "sport") and you 
conclude all this by saying that "behaviour we hate can exist in systems we 
love" (as though those words explain your position and as though "hate" has 
nothing to do with evil, since evil according to you does not exist, and whites 
who you purport 'murder blacks for sport' are not evil but are merely people 
who according to you "just believe different things are good than we do").

James it sounds like we've been exposed to significantly different media,
giving us different beliefs.

I have also experienced the oppression you describe, but for talking about
the opposite things.  Is this something you can hear?

I have also never seen such a video: where did you see them?

My knowledge of killing of blacks comes partly from hearing from individual
people exposed to it.

My closest friend's black roommate had to leave due to harassment from
whites expressing dislike of blacks who actually broke her door down to get
to her.  Another left their college because they couldn't handle being
around so many people who "shot niggers" over the weekend for fun and
discussed this publically at the college.  And as I've stated before on
this list one of my friends was mediating a community of black people
outside america when a ceo opened fire on them from a helicopter.

This same friend was defending a community in arizona where people with
black skin were dying.  This got _no_ media attention at all.  Black Mesa:
the people are being driven extinct in silence.

I do not sanction any kind of killing.  I prioritize whose life to save.

Death happens: the question is whether we hold it as a goal.

It was clear in what I said that I was not sanctioning killing.

It sounds like you are shocked or angered hearing my views of whites as
having a harmful way of life, and being less important to fight to preserve
due to their numbers?  Please answer this question, I am still a beginner
in learning to hear and understand others and need some guidance I
understand.

You imply blame on me for you sticking at the beginning here.  Maybe you
picked up my frustration at responding to so many following things that
charge the emotions from a place I don't understand.

What's relevent is that asking the question comes before stating
differences.  Reduces disconnection.

Liar.

I see plenty of videos of blacks attacking whites for fun.

If it had ever happened to one black in all of America, you would have a
better poster boy than the "jogger" who was accosted by three armed
white people while jogging away from a burglary, and grabbed the gun of
one of them by the wrong end.

If there is any "systemic racism" against a group of people, it's
against white people.

Ahh, the wicked web weavers, wantonly weaving wicked Web Weaver Webs of 
w.ggardly wicked webs o' bull sheeit!

Seems some the brown stuff is finally getting exposed:

   Austria Confirms OPCW Report On Skripal-Faking By The British, Exposes FT 
Lies & Cover-Up
   John Helmer via Dances With Bears blog,
   
http://johnhelmer.net/austria-confirms-opcw-report-on-skripal-faking-by-the-british-vienna-exposes-financial-times-lies-and-cover-up/
   
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/austria-confirms-opcw-report-skripal-faking-british-exposes-ft-lies-cover

  … The London newspaper appears to have cropped the published picture so 
as to hide the barcode. That concealment — proof of the Austrian source – 
allowed the newspaper reporters to claim the source of the document was 
unknown, probably Russian, as the headline implied: “Wirecard executive Jan 
Marsalek touted Russian nerve gas documents.”

  A British military source was reported as claiming “the documents were 
‘unlikely’ to have come from OPCW member states in western Europe or the US.”
  ...




So, to our "friendly" MI5 doofuses:  Was whatever the hell it was you were 
trying to achieve with this ridiculous allegation of "RUSSIAN" spys running 
around London with nerve poison bottles, really worth it?  Was it worth the 
obvious embarrassment that you must have had no doubt would be exposed (as it 
is now, see just above) sooner or later?

And to really slam home British Western dignity, now we have Andrew running 
around in a bald faced and similarly sad attempt to try sounding like a 
commoner.

Seriously moronic!

Now yes, family ralations, stiff upper lip and all, doing what you can for your 
burdened cousin, brother or whatever - yeah we get it, and yes there is some 
real dignity in that, but sheesh, could you pull this off any worse?

So what's the tab these days on a flood of Westerner's starting to emmigrate to 
Russia out of sheer embarrassment?



If the UK parliament wants to reclaim some real dignity ---in the eyes of the 
people---, and whilst they're at it give a genuine lift to their own spiritual 
standing, AND raise the public profile (and similarly, moral standing) of the 
British Royals whilst they're at it, the simplest and most obvious "low hanging 
fruit" is to pass the power of pardon clearly and firmly to the Crown in its 
own right, at least in the case of international matters, so that said crown 
may dutifully deliberate on this issues at hand and consider the genuine public 
interest in relation to the matter of the incarceration of Assange and whether 
this public interest (and the interest of the press, and free speech etc), 
outweighs any outstanding political interest in keeping Assange incarcerated.

And the parliament can be seen to uphold actual and genuine democratic values 
of a balance of powers, honouring the rightful place of duty which the Crown 
ought carry in ralation to such complex matters as the Assange case, the 
public's need to see an ethical/moral reality to their parliament and their 
royals, dignity in international relations, and no doubt other bits of legal 
goodness your wigs would come up with.

-That's- the kind of win win which could create a strengthening of substance 
and a lasting relevance to the public's relationship between the various 
authorities of the Crown, the houses of parliaments, Lords Temporal, and Lords 
Spiritual etc.

If it ain't real, it ain't real.



Fundamentally if you want substance behind "looking good", there must actually 
be some actual substance behind that attempt to raise standing - the public 
might be less than highly edumacated at times, but they tend to smell bullshit 
a mile away...

... you know, just in case you failed to notice that part...



Remember folks, everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity - some might 
remember this old saying by some archaic rebel, "do unto others that which you 
would have them do unto you".  It is particularly
