The big issue up to now with these is that a trusted third party, e.g, 
a server, was required to keep track. However now with bitcoin and 
blockchain technologies, this kind of research is starting to change.

RFD: Harrison and Appelbaum - Whistleblowers and Wikileaks

2017-10-09 Thread grarpamp

Whistleblowers & Wikileaks

“Days later, Harrison said goodbye to Snowden and flew to Berlin. She
had been with him in Moscow for four months. On what was said to be
legal advice, she declined to return to the UK. The German capital and
East Berlin in particular was now a hub for a growing number of
Snowden exiles: Poitras, journalist Jacob Appelbaum and Harrison. For
anyone with a sense of history this was ironic. Stasiland had become
and island of media freedom” (The Snowden Files, L. Harding, p.333).

This was 4 years ago, but how is the situation today for the people
who helped Edward Snowden? How has WikiLeaks changed since then? Is
Edward Snowden still in a critical situation? What about Chelsea
Manning and all the other whistleblowers? Where do we draw the line
between truth telling and treason?

This and much more will be discussed on the 12th of October at Room
for Discussion with two of the main figures that were in the eye of
the cyclone during the Snowden case in 2013!

We will have the honour to interview Sarah Harrison (one of the
closest advisers of Julian Assange) and Jacob Appelbaum (former
‘evangelist’ of the Tor Project and hacktivist) on the current state
of whistleblowers and of Wikileaks. We hope to see you there!

Guests: Sarah Harrison & Jacob Appelbaum
Interviewers: Paolo Destilo & Valentina Gianera

censorship v free speech, not money, is a foundation for a free society/ world

Communities exist without money, and have done so since time
immemorial.

But without our free right to communicate with one another, no
community can survive, let alone flourish.

Our basic human rights (to survive, communicate, move about in our
community (travel)) are the foundations to any society that can ever
approach the concept "a free society".

Websites, in particular those website the (((media elites and those
who control us))) don't like, are regularly simply blocked or semi
blocked.

And no "just use an ip address" or "private companies, they can do
what they want" is no answer to the domination of our community, the
domination of our peoples, that we experience.

Each of the following sites currently blocked in Australia, even with
javascripting enabled, but without an error, so semi-blocked, thus
quite sinisterly undermining the freedom of communication we
supposedly hail in "democracies":

  https://daviddukeonline.com/product-category/david-duke-report/
  https://daviddukeonline.com/
  https://davidduke.com/
  https://daviddukeonline-eu.com

And we know our "favourite" nationalist websites have been sent to
the dark web to appear at all, looks like The Duke is similarly being
sent to ground.

This is your world, people.

Good luck,

Carbon fiber bombs from 1999 used by NATO to attack Yugoslavia grids

http://cryptome.info/0001/blu114-yu/blu114-yu.htm

No doubt more sophisticated now. Drones likely to be used, on US and 
NATO comms, music concerts, sports, revenuers, golf clubs, VIP 
transports, search and social media, drone controllers. spy kiosks 
and whatever relies on EM.

GPA weakness (even the harder GAA) have been known all around
tor, and certainly by all observant G-departments, since years.
Any G money that does not then in turn direct some of itself to
solving those weakness... "is the same", and likely a game,
a game of nice distracting teats for corp boards, execs, and
devs, particularly those where milking them is a complacent
captured complicit compliant or even professional job, or a
necessity, such as to pay G printed money mortgages and
subsidized degrees.

It may be another discussion why non-G anti-GPA money
may not have yet appeared to date.

And another whatever it was about anti-GPA funds...

- "we didn't make any funding proposals"
vs
- "our proposals weren't funded, or [1]"
vs
- "no sponsors offered us unsolicited funds, or [1]"
vs
-  [1] "things came in but were declined"


While at it, solve all other places in world where these
games occur.
