That claim can be doubted on purely human grounds, but it can also be taken at face value without assuming that his girlfriend is an agent or somesuch. Maybe she has enough moral integrity to choose snowden over life in good old amerikkka. Anyway, yes, what you describe is materially possible, so I should have asked "played, why?". What would the 'leaders' of the NSA gain by having snowden leak some stuff they previously selected/curated? Obviously they would not allow the leak of anything 'really top secret'. And coincidentally snowden's stuff simply confirmed what people with half a brain suspected. Massive surveillance. Wait, not even suspected but knew about it before snowden (like ATT fiber taps) One scenario I can think off the top of my head is that they allowed snowden to get hold of some not-really-secret stuff to justify 'tighter security' inside the NSA? But as a bigger political game, I'm not sure what their motives could be. But more below. > > I figure Snowden far too dumb to 'leak correctly,' but too smart not to > play along once he became an object of property physically passed around > between ruling class factions.

They are all american heroes fulliling their divine role : making the world safe for goldman sachs and raytheon.

New cyberpunk media doesn't come out very often, so people tended to talk about the same books, movies, manga, anime, videogames, and fashion. Some of the alt-chans with dedicated cyberpunk boards would run out of ideas to talk about pretty quickly, since there weren't enough posts that the website had to prune old threads like 4chan did. Another hypothesis I have is that cyberpunk media is not as captivating as it used to be since we arguably live in a cyberpunk world. In America there is unimaginable wealth inequality, with some cities having insane costs of rent for cramped apartments, with access to the best technology and medicine in the world but only if you can afford it. We also don't have to use media to imagine a world where digital corporations have a huge amount of power over daily life and the government spies on everyone all the time since both of those things are happening right now. I think we live in a cyberpunk world, it just doesn't have huge buildings, neon lights, and widespread punk fashion. I came in contact with a few guys who wanted to make another alt-chan with a different model (see what other users are typing in real-time, and all posts get deleted early in the morning) but it never materialized as far as I can tell.

Cryptocurrency: Richard Stallman wavers on Privacy and Privacy Coins, Offers GNU Taler
https://www.coindesk.com/free-software-messiah-richard-stallman-we-can-do-better-than-bitcoin https://yro.slashdot.org/story/18/11/26/0627230/richard-stallman-criticizes-bitcoin-touts-a-gnu-project-alternative Richard Stallman doesn't like bitcoin, and has never used it, reports CoinDesk: To Stallman, bitcoin isn't suitable as a digital payment system. His biggest complaint: bitcoin's poor privacy protections. He told CoinDesk, "What I'd really like is a way to make purchases anonymously from various kinds of stores, and unfortunately it wouldn't be feasible for me with bitcoin." Using a crypto exchange would allow that company and ultimately the government to identify him, he said Asked what he thought about so-called privacy coins, Stallman said he'd gotten an expert to assess their potential, and "for each one he would point out some serious problems, perhaps in its security or its scalability." And speaking broadly, Stallman continued: "If bitcoin protected privacy, I'd probably have found a way to use it by now." Fortunately, Stallman's GNU Project has a better answer: The GNU Project, which Stallman founded, is working on an alternative digital payments system called Taler, which is based on cryptography but is not -- forgive the hair-splitting -- a cryptocurrency. The Taler project's maintainer Christian Grothoff told CoinDesk that the system is, rather, designed for a "post-blockchain" world It's based on blind signatures, a cryptographic technique invented by David Chaum, whose DigiCash was among the first attempts at creating secure electronic money. Plus, Taler's attempt to create a digital money that resists surveillance by governments and payments companies aligns it with many cryptocurrency projects. Yet, Taler does not attempt to bypass centralized authority. Payments are processed by openly centralized "exchanges" rather than peer-to-peer networks of miners because, Grothoff said, such a system "would again enable dangerous, money laundering kind of practice." Indeed, in a break with the anti-government ethos that has tended to characterize bitcoin and some of its peers, Taler's design explicitly tries to block opportunities for tax evasion Privacy in the Taler system, then, is limited to users spending their digital cash. They are shielded from surveillance because, Grothoff said, "the exchange, when coins are being redeemed, cannot tell if it was customer A or customer B or customer C who received the coin, because they all look identical from the exchange. Nobody," he added, "exactly knows who has how many tokens." Merchants (or anyone) receiving payments, on the other hand, do so visibly and in the open, making it possible for governments to assess taxes on their income -- not to mention harder for the recipients to participate in money laundering Currently, Taler is in talks with European banks to allow withdrawal into the Taler wallet and also re-deposit from the Taler system back into the traditional banking system. "I wouldn't want perfect privacy," Stallman says in the interview, "because that would mean it would be impossible to investigate crimes at all. And that's one of the jobs we need the state to do."

Re: Assange Journalism
Very nicely put, Steve, thanks for taking such care… Every media personality who "calls out" Assange, i.e. prejudging, without at the very least simultaneously calling out the egregious and heinous evils of the USA empire and its organs of power such as the CIA, NSA, military etc, is a literal shill and tool for the US empire. Such people are prima facie (on the face of it, obviously) evidently compromised, either by employment, by blackmail, by such blindness as demands utter condemnation and excision from the public discourse, or by some other hidden means. A hot topic evidently: Assange Prosecution Will Focus On Chelsea Manning Era Releases, Not DNC Emails https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-11-25/assange-prosecution-will-focus-chelsea-manning-era-releases-not-dnc-emails Extra-territoriality of "laws" as claimed by the USA espionage banking and military complex and their (!!) courts, is unlawful on principle. Every purported authority exercising power sans righteousness, is prima facie corrupt. Retrospective/ retroactive laws are unlawful on principle. A jury of "peers" which is actually comprised of the employees, ex-employees, spouses and etc of the CIA, NSA, MIC, DOD (etc) is a prima facie biased and prejudiced jury and can never carry the weight of righteousness nor the gravity of justice, merely some farse of "legal process", injustice, and a manifest evil towards a fellow man, in this case Julian Assange. For starters Assange is an Australian citizen, so his peers would literally have to be Australians at the very least, and perhaps by consent he could agree to have his "peers" include e.g. some of the folks round these parts, John Young perhaps, and or principled journalists (not the many faced and usually lying and deceiving CIA plants who dominate the legacy stream media outlets of course). Just as Colin Powell waved a vial of sand murmering "weapons of mass destruction" to justify a war destroying Iraq (which was supposedly a war against some cave dweller in Afghanistan - Obama Bin Laden) we now have pure revenge campaign against Assange for publishing some facts, embarrassing to the empire but which the public had a right to know and Assange had a right to publish. The Collateral Murder video (USA helicopter gunship gunning down unarmed journalists in Baghdad), and the embarrassment thereof, is the true cause for this steamroller of evil and unrighteous condemnation against Assange. One could take a random stab and guess that Vault7 and vault8 possibly has something to do with the CIA (etc) literal vendetta against Assange too: https://wikileaks.org/vault8/ The (USA) empire is embarrassed and wants revenge by way of making an example of "the suffering and punishment of Julian Assange". Americans, this is your empire.

on the necessity of a @snowflake codedoc annotation
What do we want? A bland homogeneous, milquetoast, corporate bland predictable sameness in all code and documentation? Or a diversity of expressive styles, confronting (to some) assertions, comedy and blunt yet constructive criticism? Well many these days are snowflakes demanding the former. Some old school punks prefer the latter, along with the responsibility, discernment, discrimination (not to mention robustness of emotions) brought forth by this more libre option. The distinction between homogeneity and diversity has even found "law" promoting apparent Marxists round these parts proclaiming the genuwhine necessity of submission to the will of others, without a hint of irony as to who they may be serving by such suggestions. While the CoCs begin to reign supreme, p'rhaps the limit of ye supremely humble wons might deign to fling the occasional pittance "in service of snowflakes": A codedoc warning: @snowflake for all the IDE's, searches and documentation where snowflake triggering "tripe" might be purged before the weak ones flutter an eyelid, faint and fall to the ground in a squishless puff of their self righteous ironic condemnation of others.
