    Trump continues to go down the hole to hell further and faster.
    America NEEDS mueller to really get on this probe. There is little doubt that Trump committed treason, but now, he is going off the deep end.

    nope.
    Just like reagan, Trump will not be able to make any changes to environment to matter.
    For example, Trump claims that we are going to expand coal in a massive way. Yet, we are not building any new coal plants. Why not? Because both wind and nat gas are MUCH CHEAPER than coal. While there are places in America, where coal is cheaper than say wind or nat gas, then the other remains cheaper than coal. As such, NO UTILITY will build a new coal plant in America. It is just not economically feasible.

    And if we get the nuke SMRs going, then we will likely see fossil fuel replaced quickly.

    Let's see. Environmental movement started with America. America has done a good job of managing our fisheries except when we have europeans and Chinese running through our waters and fishing illegally. Otoh, both Europe and China are destroying the fishing all around their nations. Hmm.

    keep in mind that USPO (US Post Office is NOT a branch of the gov. Technically, it is its own business.
    Now, with that said, the idea behind using USPO is for the vetting. They can generate PPK, OR, I should be able to give them the public key that I generated at home, and we still have a VETTED PK.

    But, there are plenty of applications where a vetted PK is ideal. Not only encryption of email, but also blogging, elections, etc.

    All major nations are spying on each other. Two big differences is that Russia and China are in a cold war with the west, and are EXTREMELY active in what they are doing. The other is that American leaders, Trump, O, and W, but esp Trump, have been STUPID WRT these nations and what they are doing to the west.

    u miss the point.
    U can obtain your digital key whereever you want. BUT, having the USPO offer up a VETTED digital key is perfect for doing our general communications, communications with businesses, and even blog sites that want to give higher points to somebody that is VETTED. For example, /. might say that if u have a vetted key, that you start off with 3. If you come in as an unvetted digital key, then you are a 1. If AC, well, -1 in my book.
    When it comes to e-mail, I would simply stop accepting any emails, unless it comes from a key source. I would open up vetted quickly, while unvetted would be set aside and looked at later. Basically, allow the emailers time to determine if a certain unvetted digital key is actually spam, virus, etc or not.
    With the unvetted digital key, it allows for being anonymous, without having to deal with the issues of spam, virus, etc.

    Hopefully, that helps. BTW, I picked USPO PURPOSELY, because it is a business, gov is at arms length for getting access to our mail (requires warrants), and they have offices all over the states. They make sense for America.

    Obama never tapped Trump. You far righ wing nuts really have to get over all of the BS that you read.
    The intel world was doing their jobs and tapping into Russia, CHina, North Korea, etc. The fact that Trump's ppl contacted Russia and China to cut deals ahead of time was seen ONLY because Trump's ppl contacted ppl that were under ACTIVE surveillance. And the fact that Trump Jr, and SiL, BOTH requested from the Russians that they provide a different SECURED path for communications, says they KNOW that they were committing treason by cutting deals.

    I am continuing to push several of my CONgress critters to change some of our bills. In particular, I would like it to be that anything that is CLEAR TEXT, either saved on a system or sent over the net, is fair game for American intelligence. The reason is that it is similar to sending a postcard. It is also the fact that China and Russia also have easy access to this so should ours.
    Then anything that is ENCRYPTED means that there is an ACTIVE attempt to block others from seeing the data. As such, we then require a warrant for our intel world to see the data (basically decrypt it).
    If we pass this, it will no doubt anger a number of ppl here because it gave America's intel world the same carte blanche that the rest of the world have. This will no doubt cause MS, Google, Yahoo, etc to push through encryption on nearly everything.
    At the same time with this bill, I am pushing for USPO to offer up personal digital keys that are FULLY VETTED (i.e. like passport, pix and fingerprint) and they would then have a distributed network of the key-servers. And when it is trivial for somebody to obtain a single digital-key, then e-mail, blogs, etc will become not just secured, but will also be less spam, and BS that we see even in in /.
    With this approach, it will really push for the world to encrypt our data.

    I have no desire to return to the 70s/80s. I worked on biological and chemical weapon and shielding development back then. I will say that in the 80s, I opposed these because we KNEW that USSR was going away. In general, reagan kept it going, though to be fair, it is possible that he kept us out of a hot war by doing that.
    China's gov, like Russia's, is already in a cold war with the west, esp. with America. That does not mean that the citizens are. In fact, you will see that I regularly write against some of these ACs that knock both Chinese and Russian citizens. Most of these ppl just want to live life and have a good time doing it. The issue are the govs. Sadly, Trump is doing everything possible to destroy America. And to be fair, neither W, nor O, did anything to stop either China or Russia from harming America.
