"We're building a chip. A fast chip. A safe chip. A trusted chip," explains the web page at Libre-SOC.org. "A chip with lots of peripherals. And it's VPU. And it's a 3D GPU... Oh and here, have the source code." Libre-SOC's entirely Libre 180nm ASIC, which can be replicated down to symbolic level GDS-II with no NDAs of any kind, has been submitted to IMEC for fabrication. It is the first wholly-independent Power ISA ASIC outside of IBM to go Silicon in 12 years. Microwatt went to Skywater 130nm in March; however, it is also developed by IBM, as an exceptionally well-made Reference Design, which Libre-SOC used for verification. Whilst it would seem that Libre-SOC is jumping on the chip-shortage era's innovation bandwagon, Libre-SOC has actually been in development for over three and a half years so far. It even pre-dates the OpenLane initiative, and has the same objectives: fully automated HDL to GDS-II, full transparency and auditability with Libre VLSI tools Coriolis2 and Libre Cell Libraries from Chips4Makers. With €400,000 in funding from the NLNet Foundation [a long-standing non-profit supporting privacy, security, and the "open internet"], plus an application to NGI Pointer under consideration, the next steps are to continue development of Draft Cray-style Vectors (SVP64) to the already supercomputer-level Power ISA, under the watchful eye of the upcoming OpenPOWER ISA Workgroup. https://patents.google.com/patent/US8664047B2/en

Gizmodo, Slate, and Facebook endorse your disownership and subjugation... https://gizmodo.com/in-2030-you-wont-own-any-gadgets-1847176540 https://slate.com/technology/2016/10/will-technology-make-ownership-obsolete-a-future-tense-event-recap.html https://www.facebook.com/worldeconomicforum/videos/10153920524981479/ "By 2030, technology will have advanced to the point that even the idea of owning objects might be obsolete," argues a thought-provoking new piece by Gizmodo's consumer tech reporter: Back in 2016, the World Economic Forum released a Facebook video with eight predictions it had for the world in 2030. "You'll own nothing. And you'll be happy," it says. "Whatever you want, you'll rent. And it'll be delivered by drone" In some ways, not owning things is easier. You have fewer commitments, less responsibility, and the freedom to bail whenever you want. There are upsides to owning less. There's also a big problem... The reality is when you buy a device that requires proprietary software to run, you don't own it. The money you hand over is an entry fee, nothing more. When everything is a lease, you also agree to a life defined by someone else's terms... When hardware is merely a vessel for software and not a useful thing on its own, you don't really get to decide anything. A company will decide when to stop pushing vital updates. It might also decide what you do with the product after it's "dead" The power has shifted so that companies set the parameters, and consumers have to make do with picking the lesser of several evils... You can trace much of this back to Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which basically makes it illegal to circumvent "digital locks" that protect a company's proprietary software... One day in the future, if you buy a physical house, you will likely have to rent the software that operates it. You won't really have a say in the updates that get pushed out, or the features that get taken away. You'll have less of a say in when you renovate or upgrade, even if you want to continue using the house as is. You might not even have the right to do DIY repairs yourself. Just because you've bought a smart washing machine, doesn't mean you'll be allowed to repair it yourself if it breaks — or if you'll be allowed to pick which repair shop can fix it for you. You only have to look as far as John Deere, Apple, and General Motors. Each one of these companies has argued that people who bought their products weren't allowed to repair them unless they were from a pre-approved shop. The scary thing is that only sounds terrible if you have the mental energy to care about principles. Making decisions all the time is difficult, and it's easier when someone else limits the options you can choose from. It's not hard to turn a blind eye to a problem if, for the most part, your life is made a little simpler. Isn't that what every tech company says it's trying to do? Make your life a little simpler? Life is hard enough already, and living in a home that maintains itself so long as you hand over control — well, by 2030, who's to say that's not what we'll all want?

History shows time and again that State's only place for those who embarass, truth, and speak against it are disappeared down a quiet prison hole, or dead. McAfee a recent example of that convenient silencing game. The tide must begin to shift... #FreeAssange https://twitter.com/DEAcampaign US pledge that Julian Assange could serve any jail sentence in Australia is ‘grossly misleading’, partner says In the event Assange is convicted, any transfer would need to be approved by the Australian government Stella Moris says the US undertakings are ‘not worth the paper they are written on’ because Julian Assange already holds the right to apply to serve any sentence in Australia. US government undertakings that Julian Assange could serve any prison sentence in Australia were “grossly misleading”, his fiance has said, and “a formula to keep Julian in prison effectively for the rest of his life”. The US government is attempting to extradite Assange from the UK and put him on trial in the US for allegedly violating the Espionage Act by publishing classified information through WikiLeaks. He faces up to 175 years in prison if convicted. But the US government lost its extradition application in January, when judge Vanessa Baraitser ruled Assange could not be extradited because of concerns over his mental health and risk of suicide in a US prison. On Wednesday, the UK high court allowed the US government to appeal that decision, on limited grounds. Stella Moris said the US undertakings were “not worth the paper they are written on” because Assange already held the right to apply to serve any sentence in Australia. “What is crucial to understand is that prisoner transfers are eligible only after all appeals have been exhausted. For the case to reach the US supreme court [it] could easily take a decade, even two. What the US is proposing is a formula to keep Julian in prison effectively for the rest of his life. “Julian would remain in a US prison under atrocious, solitary confinement conditions that the magistrate’s court said would end his life,” Moris said in a subsequent statement. Julian Assange's fiancée Stella Moris @StellaMoris1: "Reports about US 'undertakings' are misleading and worryingly uncritical. Let's not forget what this is all about: Journalism Is Not A Crime!" #DontExtraditeAssange #DropTheCharges #FreeAssange pic.twitter.com/CuHKfsZvPt — Don't Extradite Assange (@DEAcampaign) July 8, 2021 A spokesperson for the Australian attorney general’s department confirmed Assange, as an Australian citizen, would have the right to apply to serve his sentence in Australia if convicted and sentenced to prison in the US, but that no transfer could be agreed before legal avenues were exhausted. “International prisoner transfers to Australia are initiated by an application from a prisoner after the prisoner has been convicted and sentenced,” the spokesperson said. “If the Australian government received an application for the transfer of a prisoner from the US, it would consider the application at that time in accordance with Australia’s legal framework.” In the event that Assange was convicted and applied to come to Australia, his transfer would need the consent of the Australian government, and of the state or territory government where he would be imprisoned. Any transfer would also need the consent of the US government. In a suite of “assurances” provided to the UK high court, the US government said it “hereby agrees to consent to the transfer”. Other assurances offered include that the US would not impose Special Administrative Measures (SAMs) – such as solitary confinement – on Assange, and that he would not be jailed at the “supermax” prison in Florence, Colorado. However, the US retained the caveat it could renege on those promises: “the US retains the power to impose SAMs on Mr Assange in the event that … he was to commit any future act that met the test to the imposition of a SAM”. Assange turned 50 behind bars at Belmarsh prison earlier this month. Moris visited him, accompanied by their four-year-old son, after the high court’s decision to allow the US appeal. “Julian is very unwell,” Moris said after visiting. “Belmarsh prison is a horrible, horrible, place. Just yesterday, another prisoner was found dead in his cell. The suicide rate is three times higher than in other UK prisons. It’s a daily struggle. “He won his case in January. Why is he even in prison? Why is he even being prosecuted? There is no legal case against him. All there is is an indictment based on lies.” The Australian parliamentary friends of the Bring Julian Assange Home group has consistently called on the US

Deloitte Financial Advisory Services, LLP was contracted in late May to help develop the database and the government has started transferring a large volume of materials, including tens of thousands of records from the U.S. Capitol Police, prosecutors said in a court filing this week. “Following the Capitol Breach, the United States recognized that due to the nature and volume of materials being collected, the government would require the use of an outside contractor who could provide litigation technology support services to include highly technical and specialized data and document processing and review capabilities,” prosecutors wrote in the filing, which was submitted in a case against several accused Capitol rioters. The government will work with Deloitte to process, review, and produce material related to the breach, using various tools to redact certain personal information. Prosecutors expect the database to be available for use in the near future. “Once it is, the government will begin systematically reviewing materials for potentially discoverable information, tagging when possible (e.g., video by a location or type of conduct, tips by a type of allegation), and redacting when necessary,” prosecutors wrote. Deloitte did not return a request for comment. The firm, which was listed as having a Virginia address, was awarded $6.1 million by the Department of Justice for “automated litigation support services,” according to a database holding government contracts. That figure could swell to $25.9 million, according to the database listing, which was reviewed by The Epoch Times. The start date of the contract was June 1. The current end date is May 31, 2022. A potential end date was listed as May 31, 2027. The existence of the database was first reported by Politico. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) on Friday said the development signaled that U.S. prosecutors are focused only on prosecuting cases related to the breach. “The DOJ is going to spend $6.1 million on a January 6 database. Where is the ANTIFA database? Where is the BLM database? It’s as if the DOJ has given up on all investigations other than January 6,” she wrote on Twitter. Antifa is a far-left, anarcho-communist network that has perpetrated violence across the United States, primarily in the Pacific Northwest. BLM refers to Black Lives Matter, a movement that alleges minorities are systematically treated unjustly by law enforcement, among other claims. DOJ stands for the Department of Justice, which did not return a request for comment. Protesters are seen inside the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021. (Win McNamee/Getty Images) More than 535 people have been charged as of July 6 with crimes related to the breach, including 165 for assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers or employees, according to the DOJ. FBI agents are still seeking assistance identifying another 300 or so persons accused of participating in the tumult on Jan. 6. The Federal Public Defender’s Office (FPD), meanwhile, is also mulling putting in place multiple databases to help with the defense of accused riot participants, prosecutors also said. “Given the volume of information that may be discoverable, FPD is carefully examining options for accepting materials. We understand that FPD is considering contracting with a vendor to establish databases that can be used to receive and perform technical searches upon discoverable materials. The government’s discovery team is in the process of identifying the scope and size of materials that may be turned over to FPD with as much detail as possible, so that FPD can obtain accurate quotes from potential database vendors,” they wrote in the new filing. “It is hoped that this database will be used by FPD offices nationwide that are working on Capitol Breach cases and counsel that are appointed under the Criminal Justice Act. We believe that a database will be the most organized and economical way of ensuring that all counsel can obtain access to, and conduct meaningful searches upon, relevant voluminous materials, e.g., thousands of hours of body worn camera and Capitol CCTV footage, and tens of thousands of documents, including the results of thousands of
Re: USA 2020 Elections: Thread
Donald J Trump won the 2020 US Presidential Election. Darryl Cooper: Why Trump Supporters Are Pissed Off And Don't Trust Anything As the ruling class went to absurd lengths to try and dismantle Donald Trump, pissed off supporters watched in horror as a captured media peddled lie after lie - typically based on anonymous leaks from deep state bureaucrats, and as powerful agents within America's intelligence apparatus falsified evidence and collaborated with foreign operatives paid by Trump's political opponents. In doing so, they exposed themselves to anyone not already paying attention. Darryl Cooper, aka @MartyrMade, has assembled what might be the most accurate summation of why Trump supporters - the vast majority of conservatives - are livid after the past five years. Cooper, a researcher and writer, is the co-host of The Unraveling Podcast with retired US Navy SEAL commander Jocko Willink, and has hosted several deep-dive podcasts on a number of topics. Read below: Most believe some or all of the theories involving midnight ballots, voting machines, etc, but what you find when you talk to them is that, while they'll defend those positions w/info they got from Hannity or Breitbart or whatever, they're not particularly attached to them. 2/x — MartyrMade (@martyrmade) July 8, 2021 Here are the facts - actual, confirmed facts - that shape their perspective: 1) The FBI/etc spied on the 2016 Trump campaign using evidence manufactured by the Clinton campaign. We now know that all involved knew it was fake from Day 1 (see: Brennan's July 2016 memo, etc). These are Tea Party people. The types who give their kids a pocket Constitution for their birthday and have Founding Fathers memes in their bios. The intel community spying on a presidential campaign using fake evidence (incl forged documents) is a big deal to them. Everyone involved lied about their involvement as long as they could. We only learned the DNC paid for the manufactured evidence because of a court order. Comey denied on TV knowing the DNC paid for it, when we have emails from a year earlier proving that he knew. This was true with everyone, from CIA Dir Brennan & Adam Schiff - who were on TV saying they'd seen clear evidence of collusion w/Russia, while admitting under oath behind closed doors that they hadn't - all the way down the line. In the end we learned that it was ALL fake. At first, many Trump ppl were worried there must be some collusion, because every media & intel agency wouldn't make it up out of nothing. When it was clear that they had made it up, people expected a reckoning, and shed many illusions about their gov't when it didn't happen. We know as fact: a) The Steele dossier was the sole evidence used to justify spying on the Trump campaign, b) The FBI knew the Steele dossier was a DNC op, c) Steele's source told the FBI the info was unserious, d) they did not inform the court of any of this and kept spying. Trump supporters know the collusion case front and back. They went from worrying the collusion must be real, to suspecting it might be fake, to realizing it was a scam, then watched as every institution - agencies, the press, Congress, academia - gaslit them for another year. Worse, collusion was used to scare people away from working in the administration. They knew their entire lives would be investigated. Many quit because they were being bankrupted by legal fees. The DoJ, press, & gov't destroyed lives and actively subverted an elected admin. This is where people whose political identity was largely defined by a naive belief in what they learned in Civics class began to see the outline of a Regime that crossed all institutional boundaries. Because it had stepped out of the shadows to unite against an interloper. GOP propaganda still has many of them thinking in terms of partisan binaries, but A LOT of Trump supporters see that the Regime is not partisan. They all know that the same institutions would have taken opposite sides if it was a Tulsi Gabbard vs Jeb Bush election. It's hard to describe to people on the left (who are used to thinking of gov't as a conspiracy... Watergate, COINTELPRO, WMD, etc) how shocking & disillusioning this was for people who encourage their sons to enlist in the Army, and hate ppl who don't stand for the Anthem. They could have managed the shock if it only involved the government. But the behavior of the corporate press is really what radicalized them. They hate journalists more than they hate any politician or gov't official, because they feel most betrayed by them. The idea that the press is driven by ratings/sensationalism became untenable. If that were true, they'd be all over the Epstein story. The corporate press is the propaganda arm of the Regime they now see in outline. Nothing anyone says will ever make them unsee that, period. This is profoundly disorienting. Many of them don't know for certain whether ballots were faked in November 2020, but they know for
