NSA Deletes 'Honesty' and 'Openness' From Core Values (theintercept.com)

Posted by msmash on Wednesday January 24, 2018 @10:55AM from the
closer-look dept.

An anonymous shares a report: The National Security Agency maintains a
page on its website that outlines its mission statement.  But earlier
this month, the agency made a discreet change: It removed "honesty" as
its top priority.  Since at least May 2016, the surveillance agency
had featured honesty as the first of four "core values" listed on
NSA.gov, alongside "respect for the law," "integrity," and
"transparency."  The agency vowed on the site to "be truthful with
each other."  On January 12, however, the NSA removed the mission
statement page -- which can still be viewed through the Internet
Archive -- and replaced it with a new version.  Now, the parts about
honesty and the pledge to be truthful have been deleted.  The agency's
new top value is "commitment to service," which it says means
"excellence in the pursuit of our critical mission."  Those are not
the only striking alterations.  In its old core values, the NSA
explained that it would strive to be deserving of the "gre
at trust" placed in it by national leaders and American citizens.  It
said that it would "honor the public's need for openness."  But those
phrases are now gone; all references to "trust," "honor," and
"openness" have disappeared.

Thomas Groves, a spokesperson for the agency, said: "It's nothing more
than a website update, that's all it is."

Re: [Cryptography] Perth Mint to back crypto-currency with gold

Typical investors happy with their old school
will simply buy into allocated storage options or
other reasonably efficient and accessible
pricing and pooling mechanisms such as...

https://finance.google.com/finance?q=gld

Unlike most cryptos with mathmatically known
thus predictable emission curves, anything
mined and stockpiled from the Earth has additional
factors that apply, on top of all the digital ones.

> to entice investors back to precious metals.

While they may have cobbled together a way of making
medieval carriage of virtual metals in digital sacks
handy again, they're imparting a whole new layer
of trust, regulatory, verification, redemption, etc
questions upon the metals.

Then comes relative simplicity...

https://finance.google.com/finance?q=gbtc

Which really begs the question of "why they bother", now
that pure cryptocurencies are out and have equally
suitable / comparable pricing, utilization and access models.

The answer is likely that the fake "precious" metals and sparkly
rocks industries are as scared of losing power and control,
and becoming extinct as the banks and governments are.
Thus they're proffering up such meetoo coins in an
effort to stay relavant up against the global awakening.

Wait till the 10 year anniversary of cryptocurrency...
massive worldwide inputs and adoption will happen after that.


Everyone loves to quote market cap, which takes no
notice of historical inputs.

Another way to calculate "intrinsic value" of say, BTC, is to...
(sum (each block quantity created times the market price
at creation time)) divided by the quantity of coins extant.
[Further adjusted for xflation of the fiat reference over
the period to the present day.]

Even assuming fiat was flat, no one appears to have
published this simple integration... you should try it
and see what number you get :)

Where Kokesh says it the protests against the war in Iraq was an 
anti-Bush movement more than an antiwar movement (0:25:50 or so) he 
echoes the fact that the anti-Vietnam war movement was, in reality, an 
anti-draft movement. Americans REALLY don't like seeing the bodybags

it IS a system of economic regulation by your beloved nazi

have. 

you talk as if the "Transpacific Partnership" was dead when in

Okay then, we need to distinguish between "collectivism" and
"socialism".  Are you saying the public corporation is a
"collectivist" enterprise?  And then, I must amend my definition of
socialism to mean collective ownership + community.  Is that an
acceptible defintion?

That makes no sense.  Are you against socialist stuctiures?

Re: The least probable thing in the world is my innocence

[Ryan Carboni]

In case you couldn't figure it out, literally everyone I am in direct
contact with either unwittingly operates under the instruction of the US
government, or is in the US government's payroll.

If you want to figure out how I am doing what I am doing, go puzzle out the
first sentence.

Re: The least probable thing in the world is my innocence

[Ryan Carboni]

The FBI is now engaging in snide harassment against, and now I have come to
the conclusion that every out of character event in my life is some
elaborate ruse to harass me. They haven't even accomplished anything with
the harassment, they aren't planning on charging me with any crime!
I don't know if my doctors are engaging in malpractice against me or my
immediate family.
This is insane. No one willingly stays in a situation like this, or enters
into it.

Now I wish I was responsible for killing thousands of Americans on 9/11. If
you're brown and can't fly a plane, you're protected. Presumably.
Actually maybe I should out US government spies just to spite them.
James B. Donovan and the CIA engaged in collusion, and legal malpractice
against Rudolf Abel. Who appealed the case all the way to the Supreme Court
and failed?
Perhaps to quote the great Donald Trump, "where are those missing emails?"

What goes on in the world is batshit insane, I'm better off being a
warcriminal than not at this rate.

Socialism is not collective ownership.

The joint stock corporation is collective ownership.

Socialism is people like you pouring gasoline over the kulak's children 
and setting them on fire to force the kulak to reveal where he buried 
the seed corn.


Collective ownership is Charles the Second liberating corporations to 
make a profit.
