Actually, as I understand it, Yahweh is a volcano deity. Hence the quaking

If one has no obligation to obtain, one cannot produce.
Most law forces one to obtain (permission) under threat of
paper duress, to partake in various civilities and liberties.
That's fucked.

"Papers please!"

The driver license in Australia was updated just in the last few years,
to have ones date of birth, on the back, enlarged to take up half the
printing area on the rear of the card.

We Aussies kicked back against the "Australia Card" a decade or two ago,
and now they want to use the "state issued driver license" as a back
door to the national identity card.

This is not good.

We ought have the right to go about our business, participating in the
usual activities of society, and not have to produce "papers please"
unless there is some genuine cause.

Exercise of our rights, in relative safety and competence, ought never
be preconditioned on random production of "papers please" under
sufference of arrest, jail and or criminal or civil charges for merely
failing to produce "papers please".


And yes, this is just one particular fight, challenge, confront etc
(pick your favourite term, by all means).

Good catch, 2x.

Anything called "activism" intersects with broadcast media (one to
many) and network media (many to many) in the information warfare
battle space of Political Warfare.  Any actor one has not personally
vetted should be presumed hostile, at best easily manipulated; those
one does trust for real reasons will make mistakes.  Opposition
propaganda, astroturf, deception operations, elicitation, smear jobs,
joe jobs, etc. ad Illuminatus Trilogy run rampant.  Anyone who aspires
to schange the world, without controlling access to multi-billion
dollar assets, needs to fight and win the Internet.  There are no
instant easy answers; just learning to ask the right questions is a
major undertaking.

Razer has a very solid background on WTF the people whose boots are on
the real, physical ground are up against.  When radicals fail to
integrate physical and network comms strategies successfully, radicals
fail is all.  The opposition is in the same position.  As Bugs Bunny
would say, "This calls for strategy."  An occasional reminder that we
are not /just/ playing games with computers and shit is well in order.

Re: Cloudflare & NoDAPL again w/ a ROTF

[xorcist]

Well, lets look at both questions here:

First, the Cloudflare part is simple: they offer more than DDOS protection.
They can seemingly keep your site visible even if your site itself is
down, they offer analytics, and so on. And lets not forget that they
probably have some savvy salesmen that can convince some lawyers to pay up
and use the service.

As for why a lawyer's office would run a site like that. DHS connection is
certainly a possibility that I wouldn't dismiss.

Another possibility is simply personal interest, or the pet project of a
wife, daughter, or friend of the attorney's.

Or it could be professional. Sure, they may mainly focus on personal
injury law, but maybe they are on good terms with a client that came to
them about helping with the website hosting stuff where they can trust
some measure of attorney-client privilege if someone comes around asking
about the site and so on.

Instead of speculating, why not write them a letter and ask? Google up a
few other similar aggregators, and name drop them. Write to someone
mentioned on the site, explain that you're writing an article about up and
coming political-oriented news sources, and would like to include them.

Fucking social engineer some info, and cross-check it against facts you
already know.

Re: Sim Theory

[xorcist]

Too cerebral.

It's interesting to me that the simulation hypothesis has so much in
common with Buddhist philosophy. In fact, Buddhism already answers this
sort of thing.

Alan Watts, as a Zen Buddhist, presented the view that life is essentially
a game played out at the cosmic level. All life is essentially the
ultimate
source of consciousness, God, the Atman.. whatever you want to call it.
God desired to experience life as Alan Watts, and Richard Nixon, and dogs,
and lions and gazelle in order to expand its experience, its awareness, of
itself.

Put another way, intelligent life is the part of the universe that
endeavors to understand itself. We're the Universe's subconscious. We are
the dreams of the ultimate mind.

So, the equivalent Buddhist question would be - why would an incredibly
advanced mind dream of us? Well, the answer to that is why do you dream
the things you dream? It's a statement of desire, or of dread - because
fundamentally life is a bit boring, and its much better if you're banging
supermodels or running from zombies. So those things come up in dreams.
Likewise, its incredibly boring being God. Imagine it. Never being
surprised, needing nothing, all goals can be met without the slightest
effort, and so on. It would be an incredible drag.

Casting this notion into the framework of a simulation, one might say that
this advanced civilization is simply bored. Imagine Star-Trek type
technology, where you just hit a button and get a perfect steak. The SAME
steak, every time. There is no need to cook, because you'll never beat the
machine, and yet in the end.. it all ends up tasting plastic.

Even with our meager technology, a great many people enjoy "roughing it"
in the woods, camping and going low-tech. They enjoy getting away from TVs
and phones and nonsense, and getting back to a more basic existence.

No need for existential crisis. Just a desire for life to be flavorful.

Ah well you miss the point entirely.


You DO understand what a "Front" is don't you? Why does a personal
injury law firm register a domain name linking to hot-button activist
issues, and 'protects' itself with known honeypot operation?

Ps. Leonard Peltier made a statement in support of the NODAPL folks
today and SPECIFICALLY WARNED about being spied on:


"I have to caution you young people to be careful, for you are up
against a very evil group of people whose only concern is to fill their
pockets with even more gold and wealth. They could not care less how
many of you they have to kill or bury in a prison cell. They don’t care
if you are a young child or an old grandmother, and you better believe
they are and have been recruiting our own people to be snitches and
traitors. They will look to the drunks, the addicts, and child
molesters, those who prey on our old and our children; they look for the
weak-minded individuals.

You must remember to be very cautious about falsely accusing people
based more on personal opinion than on evidence. Be smart."

http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/09/16/on-solidarity-with-standing-rock-executive-clemency-and-the-international-indigenous-struggle/

That last... They check ur dataz, hook you up with a tidbit of dataz
they got from someone else' files, and before you know it you have
people accusing each other of doing things and saying things...

Get the picture? Cloudflare in collusion with it's fusion center BFFs
and infiltrators ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY fits this bill. This is exactly what
COINTELPRO did to AIM members that got Annie Mae Aquash killed, Peltier
framed, and AIM totally disrupted.

Or maybe you should just stick to coding.

Re: Cloudflare & NoDAPL again w/ a ROTF

I'm not aware of any "news aggregators" that aren't full of disinfo. It's
the nature of the beast. If you're automatically picking up stories and
spewing them back out, you're going to pick up a lot of shit along with
it.

This is one of the main reasons I don't really trust must of what I read,
and nothing that I see on TV, when I bother to watch. I try to hit primary
sources only, or at least, get closer to primary sources.

There is no end to the nonsense out there. I thought it was bad 20 years
ago. Frankly I couldn't have predicted how fucked this sort of thing was
going to get.

The recent bullshit of blaming Russia for everything under the sun would
be particularly disturbing, if I didn't suspect both sides have a
gentleman's agreement to play good cop/bad cop for one another to keep the
masses in line.

I think it's unfortunate that people can't "automatically" share some of their 
(otherwise unused) WiFi capacity.  Many people would do this, as long as a few 
restrictions are in place: 1.   A person sharing shouldn't be legally liable 
for anything done;  2.  The owner gets to use "all" of the capacity when 
needed; the external user only gets space when available.   3.   The IP 
addresses of "his" use and that of the "external" use be unrelated in any way.  
Interestingly, Comcast/Xfinity has a somewhat automatic system of this kind:  
Boxes are called "gateways" and, in effect, have two WiFi routers:  One for the 
owner and the other for anyone else.  (However, to use the other side, you need 
to be a subscriber somewhere or have his password/permission.)  For news of an 
objection to this, see:
