Can't help it but it has to be said, basically the statement made is exactly the statement you would expect them, the CIA to make, if they fully intended to torture again. So in reality no more water boarding but instead based upon a string of stories, direct manipulation of the human brain via drugs and frequency and resonance manipulation, via acoustics and the electromagnetic spectrum. So rather the torture people through the rest of the body, they far more likely fully intend to target their torture techniques directly at the human brain itself or the spinal cord. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... , http://www.scientificamerican.... , http://www.mindpowernews.com/M.... So they will no longer torture the body, just the brain and spinal column. They basically used GITMO not to gather evidence by torture but to do torture research, human experimentation of the worst sort. Again not to gather evidence of crimes but to fabricate evidence of crimes, getting people to confess to anything they want them to.
Actually it's twenty odd thousand years of ice age and there are underwater caves with stalagmites and stalactites that prove that along with the total destruction of coral barrier reefs due to exposure to atmosphere. Now when is the key. We are still forced to protect what we can, for as long as we can and punish those who accelerate problems. So if acceleration of a problem is no problem to you, let's accelerate the demise of the fossil fuellers and their backers, die twenty years from now or fifty, what difference we might as well write up some laws, prosecute them and execute them next week, after they were going to die any how, so what difference would it make. Now really is that how you feel about it or is it just screw every else, now matter how many hundreds of millions die, just as long as you are sitting high on the hog (so let hundreds of millions die or just prosecute and execute the 0.1% so both were going to die anyhow and time has no worth so that only leaves numbers, so to save many more, many fewer must die, now honestly is that the theory you claim).
To claim someone gave something to someone without having indicated who that someone is, well, what exactly is that but a security weakness. The whole thing stinks of weakness in security of the justice system. The only circumstantial evidence they have, is the claim by the corporation that it occurred. Those who issued the security credentials to him could have done it, they could have done it and digitally fabricated the evidence that those security credentials were used, a corrupt drunk executive could have done it and used their authority to redirect it. Until they can find the actual person who did and obtained the computer with the evidence on if of that activity, every thing they put up is nothing but circumstantial evidence that could have been quite readily fabricated. Keeping in mind he need not prove his innocence, they must prove his guilt, so it all stinks of a kangaroo court.
Insider manipulation to force it to join NATO. NATO or more accurately the North American Territorial Occupation farce demand that when you join (like joining a mafia protection racket) them you privatise all government arms manufacturers and sell them to US/UK corporations and then demand 2% of GDP be spent on those arms. 2% of GDP doesn't sound much but that isn't 2% of federal tax revenues, nope, that is 2% of total revenue, when you do the numbers that 2% rapidly becomes more like 25% of federal tax revenues (regardless of deficits, more austerity so you can buy more stuff to basically either throw away or blow up). I would far more suspect NATO hacking to make it look like Russian hacking because they want to force Sweden into NATO. It looks very much like the US government has lost control of NATO to the US/UK military industrial complex and they are carrying out all sorts of psychopathically insane plots and schemes to run up arms industry profits and the kick backs that it produces. NATO also looks to be pushing into cyber security and border controls (hence repeated cyber attacks made to look like they are coming from Russia and China and Turkey releasing a whole bunch of ill behaved rapey refugees into Europe). So how do you make it look likes it comes from Russia or China, well, who owns the fucking cables that traffic is travelling on and who can fucking intercept it and who can inject traffic right fucking into it. So on noes please NATO rescue us from NATO sic (they kind of pushed to much and nobody is buying their bullshit any more and Russia is no longer the greatest threat to NATO but NATO members are now the greatest threat to NATO or more accurately the North American Territorial Occupation farce). As trillions are up for grabs expect them to become quite vicious when it comes to sealing leaks ie investigative journalists, quite a few have died in the last few years.
So how about another question, is it a waste of planetary resources in it's current format and should be eliminated. Perhaps to much of the planets resources are being consumed by it and it produces nothing but empty entertainment. Should it be limited, should copyright be cut back or even eliminated where the content produced does not further the sciences or human society, should it be purposefully reduced and minimised because it quite simply wastes to much of our shared resources. Perhaps the content to achieve copyright should be tested by a public body and the value of that work with regards to the furtherance of human society should define it's worth. Do we want to waste legal and political assets and resources and tax payer dollars on protecting poor human social value content, if it is not considered social fit should it be declared unfit for the completely artificial protection of copyright.
Yep, not like graffiti at all. In fact more like self cleaning, temporary graffiti, applied over the top of corporate propaganda graffiti and that has no impact beyond exposing security weaknesses. Tried in the court of manufactured public opinion ie tried in main stream media's court by main stream media desperate to maintain the illusion of power. They also failed to prove that 'Anonymous' actually exists beyond being a political activism vehicle. So how did he provide log in credentials to a group that does not in reality exist, so either prove he did it or someone else did it. In which case the log in credentials could have come from anywhere.
This story is nothing to do with energy or coal but all about fiscal shenanigans. Track the debt and all other fiscal manipulations and you will likely see the big banks fingerprints all over this either directly or indirectly. Run up debts, pay to much for capital assets, dress it all up and the sell it to pension funds et al and the bet the whole thing will collapse and then buy back those capital assets at a discount, then sell them again at a high price and repeat. You will see this happen again and again and again. The electric car is taking over and fossil fuels days are numbered.
Lets be more logical about all this. Any crashed UFO are either going to be monkey puzzles to slow down the mud monkey self annihilation, all they will self destruct or they will be recovered. No accidental crash landings ever.
Looking at it logically, any display would have to take into account the paranoid self destructive nature of most mud monkey societies and any visit would incorporate that understanding and based upon the age of this galaxy and our system, likely this initial visitation would have been repeated many times and due to the infrequency of that ascendancy from planetary species to galactic species would be quite a significant event.
Want to keep mud monkeys calm (or likely any species going through that) throw them a party, of course kegs and buffalo wings would be out of the question but the other major party even, they sky show and fire works would be. Just going with the nominal numbers thing and the significance of the event in regards to rarity ie every million years of so. Something like 10,000 starships from the 1,000 worlds would put on a displays that tells their own history and it would last for quite some time and be global, say something like a month. The welcome to the galaxy party would be quite significant not only celebrating out accession but also their own lost in history, in terms of current living generations.
Little warning, just one night you look up into the sky and first one star starts to move and then more and more as the display intensifies, an invitation to reach out to the rest of the galaxy. If it is earlier rather than latter, it would be a little worrying as it would be an indication we need a distraction to stop killing our selves. Any embassies or communications would logically be based around reaching other stars after we had gained some galactic confidence by achieving that ourselves.
Well, the principle is just like all other employees are forced to accept. If they have serious flaws, they are fired and you try another one, based upon their history to to date lack of serious flaws. If in there very first session as an elected representative they demonstrate serious flaws, you try again with another individual. You keep repeating this election after election till the day you die. Nothing could be simpler.
It is a right by appropriate necessity to properly participate in democracy. In order to ensure a proper democracy it is a requirement to fully educate the electorate in the understanding of the socio-economics and politics of that society so that they can make sound decisions. Your claim is just empty nothing and is no different to claiming public roads should not be paid for by taxpayers dollars. In essence any claim to private property is theft, so once that theft is made all other claims become reasonable and all forms of private property are slavery.
You know when that is useful, exactly when that is useful, when 7 billion people can do it. Earth is 51.01 billion hectares, of which 3.107 billion hectares is arable so as we would need 112 billion hectares, we do you suggest we find the other 36 earths so we can all live like you, or do you suggest we simple eliminate sufficient people to end up with 1 36th of the number of people we have now. If you seriously think when the rest of the earth's ability to sustain the current population diminishes, you'll be safe, you have quite a few screws loose. The only way to be relatively safe as a human is to be part of a sound, properly functioning society, everything else exposes to far higher risk, whether it be random infection, insect bite or even a random fall, all of them can see you dead, quite quickly without the assistance of the rest of society.
So somehow having a Liberal Arts degree in socio politics would be a bad thing for the typical voter. You know, or perhaps you don't, having a greater degree of understanding in the complexities of socio-economics and politics so that they can more effectively engage in democracy, is a good thing, you do understand that, don't you. Consider the idea, that your society considers that knowledge a luxury and those who seek assistance in gaining that knowledge, of being better more knowledgeable citizens, should be discouraged by having significant fiscal penalties applied. So free higher education means the majority have access at the very least on a part time basis, so classism is applying a fiscal penalty, elimination of the fiscal penalty reduces the impact of classism. Of course the other element of classism, genetics, well don't blame us, blame your parents. Sucks to be genetically disadvantaged when it comes to the ability to learn quickly and easily but that's just the way it is, however at least with free part time college tuition you can spend decades learning what takes other people years and some even months. You should not be disadvantaged and denied a greater understanding of the society of which you are a part, regardless of how long it takes you. Higher education should be considered a right, something of value to society and not a luxury and those who seek it should be penalised (much better to spend those resources on junk food, fancy clothes, jewellery, cosmetics, luxury holidays, mansions, yachts, sports cars and the list goes, all worth much more to society than a higher education for 'ALL', who the fuck wants smarter voters).
You know what, it all looks to be rather arbitrary, usability, program accessibility et all. The desktop is fading, to be replaced by a range of devices and in business and education terms smart terminals and cheap notebooks and privacy in both areas demands tools free of undesirable encumbrances.
So the desktop market looks to be shrinking back to it's original market of power users and it currently looks to be shrinking back into Linux as the operating system. Power users being who they are will not tolerate the invasiveness of M$ and that is who the desktop market will become, as it was, so it will become. So the replacement to the desktop, smart phone, all in one big screen (50 inch plus), tablet and cheap notebook look to be an Android dominant market with Apple as number 2 and as Android is a Linux distribution, Linux in a way has already won the desktop as the desktop has changed to being more mobile apart from the all in one big screen (which looks to be the main in home family replacement to the desktop, in conjunction with the cheap education based notebook, sturdy, cheap to replace, user repairable, needs to be, kids will be kids).
Not the best way to tackle the statement that climate changes all the time. Yes, it does but it is incremental changes, apart from major ice ages the source of which has yet to be publicly determined and accepted. However cities can not adapt and we are bound as a social societies to attempt to preserve those structures, as failure to do so will result in massive loss of life and extreme hardship. Whether natural or unnatural we are bound to attempt to stabilise the Earth's climate by what ever means is necessary and that includes undoing the harm our activities have caused to that stability of that climate.
The biggest defence for nuclear is the requirement to maintain stability of energy supplies in the event of any catastrophic activity. Renewables tend to be very subject to environmental conditions being major permanent structures (even something like every property should require solar panel roofs, something that takes decades to develop but a major hail storm could disrupt and take years to rebuild). So to replace portable fossil fuels, portable (relatively speaking) nuclear power or extremely hardened structures to provide not just regular energy use but also reserve power. You could build a nuclear power station and have it idling for centuries, as nuclear fuel does not go off and have the power station periodically go full power should a vulnerable renewable go off line.
Also having energy to spare, means we can use that energy to clean up the environment and make recycling far more resource affective as well as look at other forms of food production, like mutli-story metropolitan area accessible aquaponics or high energy fully bio-engineered alga (forget goofy soylent green nonsense, taking the stalks, leaves and storage pods of algae to produce low allergen high quality foods, with engineered tastes and textures, strawberry steaks, banana custard melons or sugar free vanilla milk - all equivalents of course). This to free up hundreds of thousands of square kilometres of farm so that they can return to being environment cleaning bio diverse forest and by used by the majority as recreation areas.
1st Commandment of Capitalism Rebellion: If you or people you like have been screwed over by capitalism and have bugger all, pissing people off who have vastly more than you by taking steps to ensure they end up with less, is OK, as long as costs them far more than it costs you ie you might have to spend thousands but as long as it costs them billions, that's cool (consider it capital redistribution). So how much did the Panama papers person spend in order to cost others billions.
Pick your pension fund, so many people will lose the entirety of the retirement due to purposefully corrupted investments with purchasing commissions paid in tax havens. I can bet a whole bunch of pension funds are going to get stuck with collapsing fossil fuel as well as underwater front investments. With trillions in loses you can bet billions will be paid in bribes to get managers to buy those bound to go under investments. So this seems a much safer bet for $1000 than hundreds of thousands of dollars locked in readily corrupted pension funds (keep track of the level of investment of your pension fund or superannuation to ensure they divest from at risk investments including fossil fuels and underwater front properties, early rather than too late). The rich and greedy will not tolerate that loss and they will be looking to shift those losses to the poor and middle class. They will do this via pension scams or via new financial vehicles that take over those bad assets with government guaranteed debt that are designed to collapse and push those losses onto the tax payer.
The reality is just like the English dictionary for the English language, everyone needs a core computer dictionary for a core computer programming language around which schools can base computer education programs. So to facilitate teaching computer studies at earlier ages, more needs to be done to dump qwerty in favour of the ABCs (easier to teach children and adults should simply relearn), and better logical alignment of the English language and computer language and maths formulas and computer language formulas. At the very least a core language, a starter computer programming language that can taught all over the world, free of encumbrances, patents et al.
Too big to fail, was not too big too fail, it was knew too much about all the corrupt deals they facilitated as they established accounts in tax havens and the many paid off corrupt officials and politicians. So not propping up the banks so much as paying off extortion demands, either pay up and fill the pockets of the corrupt banksters or have those corrupt bank accounts exposed and where the money came from and why that money was paid.
People seem to forget it was the rich with political influence stealing from with rich with political influence and the rest of us were caught in that crossfire. So why weren't the rich and greedy with political influence able to get their pet politicians to pursue those criminals that stole billions from the rich and greedy not in on the scheme. When you have you finger on the pulse of all those criminal transaction, you can do anything you want to the participators in those criminal transactions, including demanding a percentage or just straight up stealing it, the victims can not complain or seek revenge.
Any corrupt politician that attempts to prosecute corrupt global bankers, can be destroyed over night with the release of tax haven banking details. Basically organised crime has taken over globally banking and is using extortion to entrench their power. Funny thing is, even the most underpaid minions in those schemes are entitled to an equal share, not because of what they bring to those schemes but because they can bring them crashing down. How many underpaid minions are furious at being cheated by the cheaters and are seeking revenge, can't make a billion, meh, have fun by taking away some one else's illicit billions via say 'Anonymous';D.
Now in the spy vs spy arena, exposing corruption has become the hot go to for bringing down governments, so secret pays will abound. After the latest debacle with pictures of Putin but no mention of Putin in the papers, I am sure the Russian government will consider it a great investment to pay off insider minions getting paid peanuts, either to extort cooperation or bring down corrupt foreign politicians, flip side of course, those corrupt politicians are now a major threat to the other side for the same reason, either treason or being exposed at a critical time. It kind of looks like the whole corrupt house of cards is coming down, it should be interesting;).
So it simply needs a core change in internet protocols, a design changed from all allowed and only some blocked to all blocked and only some allowed. Pretty much what it needs to be to be considered as suitable as an internet for minors, this versus an internet for adults. Basically with an all blocked and only some allowed network, unless it is verified, checked and audited, it's traffic is blocked by default at routers, this means you can not route around that block because you only can route to other blocks. Without having been allowed prior to access, you simply can not gain access. You are in affect requiring licensing of any individual IP and Mac address, prior to it's use and only those specific ones are allowed through the network and this can also incorporate known initial access points and follow on routes (a defined possible legal trail, to block spoofing with impossible to connect in reality routes, just falsely identified traffic). With current investment in infrastructure, no longer possible except for a new parrallel restricted network, say one suitable for minors.
So answer me this, how exactly will anyone verify the integrity of this law? Genital inspection prior and or after use of the listed facilities per chance? So what is the ultimate purpose of this law, to ensure members of the opposite sex do not view each other genitals whilst members of the same sex are allowed to view each others genitals. Surely in the case of ambiguous partner choices having a law ensuring that only members of the same sex can view each others genitals is, well, very questionable. It seems like some closeted individuals want to ensure they only genitals they see in public facilities are the genitals they secretly want to see and that they are so tempted by.
If it was really all about privacy and security, they would demand uni-sex facilities with individual, private and secure cubicles, with monitored access points and direct access of public corridors. They law intend seems to be governed by a preference for homosexuality and to ensure no accidental exposure to the genitals of the opposite sex.
You take that to the next step and under US conspiracy laws, they have already committed a crime with their demonstrated intent to commit the crime of computer fraud and should be prosecuted for that conspiracy, especially for any tools they have already produced with the intent to commit the crime, they have publicly announced, they intend to commit.
OK, how about something a little more sensible. Ask Apple for a two layer password system. A parental password and a dependent password. The Parent or administrator password always provides access and the dependent password can not over ride that access but still does lock the phone from access by everyone else. Children love to share their secrets with other children, it just one of the silly games they play and because they are sharing secrets, sometimes parent are not really entitled to the secrets of other children. So the biggest reasonable secret that children should be able to keep from their parents but still share with other children is of course religious preferences. By law, it might sound odd but as citizens, children are entitled to freedom of religion and that includes freedom of forced religion by their parents, it's the law. So not all that clear cut but in the interim and two layer password system as accepted by most ie SUDO vs user.
'Anonymous' is an idea, it does nothing, people use it to promote a political action and other people either join in or not. You can have a political act of 'Anonymous' of just one or of millions, it is the political act that counts and the people involved that counts and not 'Anonymous'. 'Anonymous' is just another vehicle for political activism that simply provides a level of protection for those participants. Any individual cause will either draw support or not. On average in can be seen that 'Anonymous' tends to draw the most support on freedom of speech, political corruption and the truth being suppressed issues. Trump whilst being ill spoken is still entitled to free political speech and in the Trump attack it seemed to have a clear political bias and seemed to be an intended political distortion (by establishment PR groups) and thus ended up lacking mass support.
Lets be honest politicians publicly saying stupid things is a good thing, lets you know exactly what you are voting for or shouldn't vote for. Politicians reading of puppet prompters and lying all the way is a bad thing, a truly horrible thing and is something that should be exposed. That 'Anonymous' ends up doing that so often instead of police and investigative authorities is appalling (not 'Anonymous' exposing it of course, that those authorities so hugely failed in not discovering, exposing and prosecuting mass corruption).
Never forget Arizona, straight up corruption of the electoral process to favour insiders and not even pretending to be otherwise and straight up lying in the electorates face when caught out and not even caring that the lies are exposed. Pretty much "We stole your election, so fucking what, it's your fault?, piss off". The US administration, the current group of insiders, not saying a word because if favours them and they support it. They got away with it in Arizona, so how many more states are going to follow suit, simply shrink the number of polling stations, make it hard to get to them, focus all remaining polling stations in localities where you can dominate the vote. Worked in Arizona with no, zero, zip legal repercussions, so it can work in the rest of the US.
Either that or it is all a marketing lie because you only need to file a patent in one country due to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., so that "A patent application filed under the PCT is called an international application, or PCT application". So straight up marketing dick bags, trotting out some PR=B$ double speak because the majority are kicking up about the hyper inflated prices of drugs with 10,000% profit margins, pay or die. Whilst those same arse holes are pushing TTP and TTIP to ensure file in one country and forced in all others for ever mwah hah hah (if copyright can get never ending extensions why not patents), really sick pathetic lying fuckers. Never to forget https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., a United Nations body whose only purpose is Greed and more Greed and even more Greed, in fact unlimited Greed.

Can't help it but it has to be said, basically the statement made is exactly the statement you would expect them, the CIA to make, if they fully intended to torture again. So in reality no more water boarding but instead based upon a string of stories, direct manipulation of the human brain via drugs and frequency and resonance manipulation, via acoustics and the electromagnetic spectrum.

Actually it's twenty odd thousand years of ice age and there are underwater caves with stalagmites and stalactites that prove that along with the total destruction of coral barrier reefs due to exposure to atmosphere. Now when is the key. We are still forced to protect what we can, for as long as we can and punish those who accelerate problems. So if acceleration of a problem is no problem to you, let's accelerate the demise of the fossil fuellers and their backers, die twenty years from now or fifty, what difference we might as well write up some laws, prosecute them and execute them next week, after they were going to die any how, so what difference would it make.

To claim someone gave something to someone without having indicated who that someone is, well, what exactly is that but a security weakness. The whole thing stinks of weakness in security of the justice system. The only circumstantial evidence they have, is the claim by the corporation that it occurred. Those who issued the security credentials to him could have done it, they could have done it and digitally fabricated the evidence that those security credentials were used, a corrupt drunk executive could have done it and used their authority to redirect it.

You know what, it all looks to be rather arbitrary, usability, program accessibility et all. The desktop is fading, to be replaced by a range of devices and in business and education terms smart terminals and cheap notebooks and privacy in both areas demands tools free of undesirable encumbrances.
So the desktop market looks to be shrinking back to it's original market of power users and it currently looks to be shrinking back into Linux as the operating system. Power users being who they are will not tolerate the invasiveness of M$ and that is who the desktop market will become, as it was, so it will become. So the replacement to the desktop, smart phone, all in one big screen (50 inch plus), tablet and cheap notebook look to be an Android dominant market with Apple as number 2 and as Android is a Linux distribution, Linux in a way has already won the desktop as the desktop has changed to being more mobile apart from the all in one big screen (which looks to be the main in home family replacement to the desktop, in conjunction with the cheap education based notebook, sturdy, cheap to replace, user repairable, needs to be, kids will be kids).
Not the best way to tackle the statement that climate changes all the time. Yes, it does but it is incremental changes, apart from major ice ages the source of which has yet to be publicly determined and accepted. However cities can not adapt and we are bound as a social societies to attempt to preserve those structures, as failure to do so will result in massive loss of life and extreme hardship. Whether natural or unnatural we are bound to attempt to stabilise the Earth's climate by what ever means is necessary and that includes undoing the harm our activities have caused to that stability of that climate.
The biggest defence for nuclear is the requirement to maintain stability of energy supplies in the event of any catastrophic activity. Renewables tend to be very subject to environmental conditions being major permanent structures (even something like every property should require solar panel roofs, something that takes decades to develop but a major hail storm could disrupt and take years to rebuild). So to replace portable fossil fuels, portable (relatively speaking) nuclear power or extremely hardened structures to provide not just regular energy use but also reserve power. You could build a nuclear power station and have it idling for centuries, as nuclear fuel does not go off and have the power station periodically go full power should a vulnerable renewable go off line.
Also having energy to spare, means we can use that energy to clean up the environment and make recycling far more resource affective as well as look at other forms of food production, like mutli-story metropolitan area accessible aquaponics or high energy fully bio-engineered alga (forget goofy soylent green nonsense, taking the stalks, leaves and storage pods of algae to produce low allergen high quality foods, with engineered tastes and textures, strawberry steaks, banana custard melons or sugar free vanilla milk - all equivalents of course). This to free up hundreds of thousands of square kilometres of farm so that they can return to being environment cleaning bio diverse forest and by used by the majority as recreation areas.
1st Commandment of Capitalism Rebellion: If you or people you like have been screwed over by capitalism and have bugger all, pissing people off who have vastly more than you by taking steps to ensure they end up with less, is OK, as long as costs them far more than it costs you ie you might have to spend thousands but as long as it costs them billions, that's cool (consider it capital redistribution). So how much did the Panama papers person spend in order to cost others billions.
Pick your pension fund, so many people will lose the entirety of the retirement due to purposefully corrupted investments with purchasing commissions paid in tax havens. I can bet a whole bunch of pension funds are going to get stuck with collapsing fossil fuel as well as underwater front investments. With trillions in loses you can bet billions will be paid in bribes to get managers to buy those bound to go under investments. So this seems a much safer bet for $1000 than hundreds of thousands of dollars locked in readily corrupted pension funds (keep track of the level of investment of your pension fund or superannuation to ensure they divest from at risk investments including fossil fuels and underwater front properties, early rather than too late). The rich and greedy will not tolerate that loss and they will be looking to shift those losses to the poor and middle class. They will do this via pension scams or via new financial vehicles that take over those bad assets with government guaranteed debt that are designed to collapse and push those losses onto the tax payer.
The reality is just like the English dictionary for the English language, everyone needs a core computer dictionary for a core computer programming language around which schools can base computer education programs. So to facilitate teaching computer studies at earlier ages, more needs to be done to dump qwerty in favour of the ABCs (easier to teach children and adults should simply relearn), and better logical alignment of the English language and computer language and maths formulas and computer language formulas. At the very least a core language, a starter computer programming language that can taught all over the world, free of encumbrances, patents et al.
Too big to fail, was not too big too fail, it was knew too much about all the corrupt deals they facilitated as they established accounts in tax havens and the many paid off corrupt officials and politicians. So not propping up the banks so much as paying off extortion demands, either pay up and fill the pockets of the corrupt banksters or have those corrupt bank accounts exposed and where the money came from and why that money was paid.
People seem to forget it was the rich with political influence stealing from with rich with political influence and the rest of us were caught in that crossfire. So why weren't the rich and greedy with political influence able to get their pet politicians to pursue those criminals that stole billions from the rich and greedy not in on the scheme. When you have you finger on the pulse of all those criminal transaction, you can do anything you want to the participators in those criminal transactions, including demanding a percentage or just straight up stealing it, the victims can not complain or seek revenge.
Any corrupt politician that attempts to prosecute corrupt global bankers, can be destroyed over night with the release of tax haven banking details. Basically organised crime has taken over globally banking and is using extortion to entrench their power. Funny thing is, even the most underpaid minions in those schemes are entitled to an equal share, not because of what they bring to those schemes but because they can bring them crashing down. How many underpaid minions are furious at being cheated by the cheaters and are seeking revenge, can't make a billion, meh, have fun by taking away some one else's illicit billions via say 'Anonymous' ;D.
Now in the spy vs spy arena, exposing corruption has become the hot go to for bringing down governments, so secret pays will abound. After the latest debacle with pictures of Putin but no mention of Putin in the papers, I am sure the Russian government will consider it a great investment to pay off insider minions getting paid peanuts, either to extort cooperation or bring down corrupt foreign politicians, flip side of course, those corrupt politicians are now a major threat to the other side for the same reason, either treason or being exposed at a critical time. It kind of looks like the whole corrupt house of cards is coming down, it should be interesting ;).
So it simply needs a core change in internet protocols, a design changed from all allowed and only some blocked to all blocked and only some allowed. Pretty much what it needs to be to be considered as suitable as an internet for minors, this versus an internet for adults. Basically with an all blocked and only some allowed network, unless it is verified, checked and audited, it's traffic is blocked by default at routers, this means you can not route around that block because you only can route to other blocks. Without having been allowed prior to access, you simply can not gain access. You are in affect requiring licensing of any individual IP and Mac address, prior to it's use and only those specific ones are allowed through the network and this can also incorporate known initial access points and follow on routes (a defined possible legal trail, to block spoofing with impossible to connect in reality routes, just falsely identified traffic). With current investment in infrastructure, no longer possible except for a new parrallel restricted network, say one suitable for minors.
So answer me this, how exactly will anyone verify the integrity of this law? Genital inspection prior and or after use of the listed facilities per chance? So what is the ultimate purpose of this law, to ensure members of the opposite sex do not view each other genitals whilst members of the same sex are allowed to view each others genitals. Surely in the case of ambiguous partner choices having a law ensuring that only members of the same sex can view each others genitals is, well, very questionable. It seems like some closeted individuals want to ensure they only genitals they see in public facilities are the genitals they secretly want to see and that they are so tempted by.
If it was really all about privacy and security, they would demand uni-sex facilities with individual, private and secure cubicles, with monitored access points and direct access of public corridors. They law intend seems to be governed by a preference for homosexuality and to ensure no accidental exposure to the genitals of the opposite sex.
You take that to the next step and under US conspiracy laws, they have already committed a crime with their demonstrated intent to commit the crime of computer fraud and should be prosecuted for that conspiracy, especially for any tools they have already produced with the intent to commit the crime, they have publicly announced, they intend to commit.
OK, how about something a little more sensible. Ask Apple for a two layer password system. A parental password and a dependent password. The Parent or administrator password always provides access and the dependent password can not over ride that access but still does lock the phone from access by everyone else. Children love to share their secrets with other children, it just one of the silly games they play and because they are sharing secrets, sometimes parent are not really entitled to the secrets of other children. So the biggest reasonable secret that children should be able to keep from their parents but still share with other children is of course religious preferences. By law, it might sound odd but as citizens, children are entitled to freedom of religion and that includes freedom of forced religion by their parents, it's the law. So not all that clear cut but in the interim and two layer password system as accepted by most ie SUDO vs user.
'Anonymous' is an idea, it does nothing, people use it to promote a political action and other people either join in or not. You can have a political act of 'Anonymous' of just one or of millions, it is the political act that counts and the people involved that counts and not 'Anonymous'. 'Anonymous' is just another vehicle for political activism that simply provides a level of protection for those participants. Any individual cause will either draw support or not. On average in can be seen that 'Anonymous' tends to draw the most support on freedom of speech, political corruption and the truth being suppressed issues. Trump whilst being ill spoken is still entitled to free political speech and in the Trump attack it seemed to have a clear political bias and seemed to be an intended political distortion (by establishment PR groups) and thus ended up lacking mass support.
Lets be honest politicians publicly saying stupid things is a good thing, lets you know exactly what you are voting for or shouldn't vote for. Politicians reading of puppet prompters and lying all the way is a bad thing, a truly horrible thing and is something that should be exposed. That 'Anonymous' ends up doing that so often instead of police and investigative authorities is appalling (not 'Anonymous' exposing it of course, that those authorities so hugely failed in not discovering, exposing and prosecuting mass corruption).
Never forget Arizona, straight up corruption of the electoral process to favour insiders and not even pretending to be otherwise and straight up lying in the electorates face when caught out and not even caring that the lies are exposed. Pretty much "We stole your election, so fucking what, it's your fault?, piss off". The US administration, the current group of insiders, not saying a word because if favours them and they support it. They got away with it in Arizona, so how many more states are going to follow suit, simply shrink the number of polling stations, make it hard to get to them, focus all remaining polling stations in localities where you can dominate the vote. Worked in Arizona with no, zero, zip legal repercussions, so it can work in the rest of the US.
Either that or it is all a marketing lie because you only need to file a patent in one country due to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., so that "A patent application filed under the PCT is called an international application, or PCT application". So straight up marketing dick bags, trotting out some PR=B$ double speak because the majority are kicking up about the hyper inflated prices of drugs with 10,000% profit margins, pay or die. Whilst those same arse holes are pushing TTP and TTIP to ensure file in one country and forced in all others for ever mwah hah hah (if copyright can get never ending extensions why not patents), really sick pathetic lying fuckers. Never to forget https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., a United Nations body whose only purpose is Greed and more Greed and even more Greed, in fact unlimited Greed.
