Hi, cute girls and guys! Hope everybody is doing good! :) I am still pretending to be dead while finishing some crazy projects and healing a bit, but this message can be very interesting for some researchers here. Source: Private APC Members List. (Sorry, I am trying to protect the sender. There are bastard Aussie bullies here.) So much violence and fear, so many bombs and pain in the world... When we have more fears and prejudices than dreams and hopes, there is something very wrong in the world. A world without privacy, without any security, where we have to protect our children not of pedophiles on Internet, but of our own governments... A Russian government agent tried to get informations about one of my friends using his own kids, asking them about "their daddy's friends", about "daddy's job", and so go on. Protect your lives and, please, protect also the children's innocence, my beloved ones. Take care and - if you believe - God (or Goddess, Allah, Buda, Kannon, The Mother Earth, Shango, everybody!) bless and protect you and your dreams.

Dear friends, Can anyone recommend a VPN, preferably run by a member if such services are still being offered? This is happening today in Australia. "From today, 13th April 2017, all Australian telecommunication providers are now required to collect a whole range of your telecommunications data ('metadata') and retain it for two full years, so that it can be requested by government agencies. This data includes information about your phone usage (including texts and your location) and about your Internet connection. This information allows very detailed conclusions to be made about many aspects of your life and there are almost no protections against investigative "fishing expeditions" or systemic abuse of power. With the exception of journalists' data, no warrants are required for access to this data, and there is little effective oversight. The data retention scheme therefore represents a genuine threat to the privacy of all Australians." Source: https://www.efa.org.au/2017/04/13/get-a-vpn-today/ A.

Fw: Racism: A politically correct definition.
by Zenaan Harkness 15 Apr '17

15 Apr '17

Racism: A politically correct definition, brought to you by the following caring and wholesome entities: ((( - The Ministry of Truth - Department of Homeland Security - the AFP (Australian Federal Police), the FBI, the CIA and the NSA - the DOD, the DIA, AG and POTUS - the USA Congress, Senate and Deep State (TM) (C) (R) - the (((ADL))), the Anti-Defamation League - the (((SPLC))), the Southern Poverty Law Centre - and many other anti-white organisations. ))) Racism (noun) 1 Any attempt by members of the white race to stop an immigrant invasion and takeover of their nations, whether by word or deed. 2 Ideology in which whites object to being made third class slaves in the countries their own ancestors founded. 3 Any words spoken by a white person that fail to venerate and praise non-white persons as culturally superior and ethnically unique. 4 A belief system in which whites fail to hate their own race, usually accompanied by failure of whites to worship non-whites and failure to provide free money, medical care, and pretty young white breeding partners for non-whites. 5 A sick and twisted belief system in which evil whites believe that they have just as much right to preserve their race and culture as the other races. 6 Failure of the white race to submit to their own extermination and displacement from their own nations. 7 Any attempt by members of the white race to stop blacks from gang-raping or otherwise despoiling and assaulting young white women. Very important notes: - Racism can only be committed by whites. - When blacks or other nationalities murder white men and women, this can never be racist. - What is truly racist is for whites to dare to oppose the murder and enslavement of their own race. You have been warned, normie!

"Teach Your Children." - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young https://youtu.be/q357cCcTYf8 You, who are on the road must have a code that you can live by. And so become yourself because the past is just a good bye. Teach your children well, their father's hell did slowly go by, And feed them on your dreams, the one they pick's the one you'll know by. Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you. And you, of tender years can't know the fears that your elders grew by, And so please help them with your youth, they seek the truth before they can die. Teach your parents well, their children's hell will slowly go by, And feed them on your dreams, the one they pick's the one you'll know by. Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

[WAR] Re: ‘Black teens’ not allowed: Racist sign left on Melton, Melbourne, milk bar window

Anyone got a plan on how to stop the CIA from committing atrocities the world over? Z ----- Forwarded message from Zenaan Harkness <zen(a)freedbms.net> ----- Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2017 09:16:36 +1000 From: Zenaan Harkness <zen(a)freedbms.net> Subject: Re: ‘Black teens’ not allowed: Racist sign left on Melton, Melbourne, milk bar window The problem is Jim, that the ones we take in more often than not come from areas where the population is experiencing much strife. And that strife is more often than not due to Muslim Brotherhood or some other CIA sponsored, coup-loving jihadi "moderate" head choppers. So then we must look at the numbers - even if only 2 out of 100 immigrants are likely to commit a violent crime, DO WE WANT TO TAKE THAT RISK ??? For most people, the honest answer is no. Politically correct "they struggle so much" talk keeps us blind to the obvious - we ought be working out ways to look after our own challenged youths, rather than bring in 1000s from other countries who have little to no hope to integrate, and close to certainty to become street wise thugs, because they are more often already street wise thugs from where they come from. And then also with young, disenfranchised and financially disempowered males also being the majority of "poor starving immigrants" from these regions, you know that that 2 out of 100, is actually closer to 22 out of 100! Should we keep importing this high risk, high aggression group of young disenfranchised males from war torn regions (often war torn thanks to the CIA and USA/Australia)? The --sane-- answer should be HELL NO!! And yes, the media SHOULD be publishing the crimes that happen. Burying our heads under the rug will NOT solve the problem, NOR increase the understanding, NOR improve the public dialog.

Implications of AI: Spawn of the DAO... Non-Human VC's
by grarpamp 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

Regarding the DAO and so much yet to come with VC's... http://www.techworld.com/social-media/sir-tim-berners-lee-lays-out-nightmar… The architect of the world wide web Sir Tim Berners-Lee has talked about some of his concerns for the internet over the coming years, including a nightmarish scenario where artificial intelligence (AI) could become the new 'masters of the universe' by creating and running their own companies. Masters of the universe is a reference to Tom Wolfe's 1987 novel The Bonfire of the Vanities, regarding the men (and they were men) who started racking up multi-million dollar salaries and a great deal of influence from their finance roles on Wall Street and in London during the computerised trading boom pre-Black Monday. Berners-Lee said, "So when AI starts to make decisions such as who gets a mortgage, that's a big one. Or which companies to acquire and when AI starts creating its own companies, creating holding companies, generating new versions of itself to run these companies. So you have survival of the fittest going on between these AI companies until you reach the point where you wonder if it becomes possible to understand how to ensure they are being fair, and how do you describe to a computer what that means anyway?" https://www.technologyreview.com/s/604087/the-dark-secret-at-the-heart-of-a… Last year an experimental vehicle, developed by researchers at the chip maker Nvidia was unlike anything demonstrated by Google, Tesla, or General Motors. The car didn't follow a single instruction provided by an engineer or programmer. Instead, it relied entirely on an algorithm that had taught itself to drive by watching a human do it. Getting a car to drive this way was an impressive feat. But it's also a bit unsettling, since it isn't completely clear how the car makes its decisions, argues an article on MIT Technology Review. The mysterious mind of this vehicle points to a looming issue with artificial intelligence. The car's underlying AI technology, known as deep learning, has proved very powerful at solving problems in recent years, and it has been widely deployed for tasks like image captioning, voice recognition, and language translation. There is now hope that the same techniques will be able to diagnose deadly diseases, make million-dollar trading decisions, and do countless other things to transform whole industries. But this won't happen -- or shouldn't happen -- unless we find ways of making techniques like deep learning more understandable to their creators and accountable to their users. Otherwise it will be hard to predict when failures might occur -- and it's inevitable they will. That's one reason Nvidia's car is still experimental.

Skrymions: Data storage breakthough
by jim bell 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2017/04/11/scientists-tout-tout-data-storage-br… This reminds me of magnetic-bubble technology, which was relatively big in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Intel made magnetic bubble devices up to a capacity of 1 megabits/device, which was considered large in comparison with the then-64 kilobit RAMs then in common use. http://www.wylie.org.uk/technology/computer/bubblmem/bubblmem.htm In contrast, these "skrymions" are said to have a domain size as small as 2 nanometers.
