For Satoshi Nakamoto - posing as a libertarian
by pro2rat＠yahoo.com.au 22 Oct '23

22 Oct '23

Lopp does us a favor and rules out HALfin as Satoshi. This opens up a possibility Nakamoto was a libertarian. Since Hal definitely wasn't! Evidence for this theory includes avoidance of cypherpunks list. The finance clipping timestamping first release. SN was also actively avoiding conflict with the Wikileaks scandal. The inference is he avoided association with a notorious anarchist activists list. ( As cypherpunks was from 1995 onwards ) Then he pandered to a well known libertarian obsession with capitalism. Why they are sometimes called inverse-Marxists. The cowardice displayed over WL is a clincher. Almost every known libertarian is a chickenshit coward. Like Eric Hughes. And Tim May So its safe to treat this fraud as a political moron. Just as its safe to assume Karl Semich is a pig-cop and Gramps a Republican party stooge. Welcome to the revolution!

Fwd: [liberationtech] MiTM attack on XMPP/Jabber traffic at Hetzner and Linode (DE) suggests datacenter complicity
by Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many 22 Oct '23

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 22 Oct 2023 10:34:44 +1300 Subject: [liberationtech] MiTM attack on XMPP/Jabber traffic at Hetzner and Linode (DE) suggests datacenter complicity Interesting and especially stealth MiTM at Hetzner (DE) and Linode, targeting Russia's largest XMPP/Jabber (civilian) chat service. The authors of the article make a reasonably compelling case that "this is lawful interception Hetzner and Linode were forced to setup." It would seem a rogue Letsencrypt chain was deployed at the last hop facing the dedicated server hosting the XMPP infrastructure, for which the LE ACME challenge would have passed without issue. This was used to hijack encrypted STARTTLS connections. The 'real' LE chain was then effectively ignored, as all traffic to/fro the running server was decrypted through the transparent MiTM proxy. In the case of Linode, it seems the target's VPS was migrated into a hostile VLAN with a monitor at the first hop. Their methodology is sound, strong forensics. - https://notes.valdikss.org.ru/jabber.ru-mitm/ A good overview of mitigation strategies here, from DNSSEC to CAA: - https://www.devever.net/~hl/xmpp-incident I feel it is worth noting that many civilian - and potentially dissident - Russian voices would have been using this service to protect themselves from Kremlin eavesdropping; a safe space. & yet here they are subject to a supposed lawful intervention by what we can assume are non-RU state actor(s). This event may undermine faith in secure community-run infrastructure, pushing RU communities to less secure group chat alternatives, including those the Kremlin has compromised. An ethically troubled case. -- Julian Oliver Consulting: https://nikau.io Projects: https://julianoliver.com PGP: https://julianoliver.com/key.asc

Morning Spam

I haven't read the replies I haven't acknowledged, because I'm trying to slow down entering the dissociative state where I post obsessively to the list and do nothing else, and accessing the same threads could trigger it faster. Here is a webcomic outline. To help with the major motion picture being slowly grown from horrifically enslaved countries to bring their dead beloved dictators back to life as respected community members with badly needed medical care: Mind Control Boss, the Webcomic, draft 1 #1 panel 1: Setting: Boss's office Boss: "Somebody mentioned mind control on that mailing list. Let me know when it's cleaned up." Cleanup Worker (previously Secretary of State, talking honestly, has bloody wires leaving scalp, wears weapons dealer logo on smart looking political outfit): "Of course, Boss! We love you so much for enslaving us to your every whim!" panel 2: Setting: local coffee shop named "Underground Spy and Rebel Network, Come One Come All" Specialist (now a cleanup worker for Boss): "The Boss told me to clean this mailing list up. I told him to fuck off, that it's out of his control." Excited Supporter (at a nearby table of torture victims, rescue workers, and diplomats): "What list now?" State Worker (wears same weapons dealer logo as Secretary of State, watching, is at table of rebels with Specialist, in role of "way to control and spy on Boss", texting privately on Mobile Phone): [Excited Supporter will b worker who rebels. Can u make sure 2 erase what they look up tonight?] panel 3: Setting: same coffee shop Rebel Worker (sitting next to State Worker, wears same shirt, phone dings and looks suddenly at State Worker): "The fuck???" <immediately shoots State Worker dead> Dead State Worker's Mobile Phone: "Contacting Cleanup. Thank you for using Dictatorsoft." Specialist (same one, at table): <while phone alarming about cleanup>, "Again????" #2 panel 1: (torture victim, excited supporter, and/or rebel worker visit mailing list, assume it is super cool, archive it and spread it everywhere) panel 2: Scene: Former Secretary of State's office Cleanup Worker (formerly secretary of state, bloody wires leaving neatly combed hair, gesturing at corpse of State Worker, talking to Machine Learning Marketer): "Boss can't see well and needs to hear it from the horse's mouth, and the horse is dead. Could you fix up a video chat for us where the horse is alive?" Machine Learning Marketer (knows nothing about machine learning, is new to corporation): "Certainly. We do that all the time." panel 3: Scene: Boss's office, with corpse of State Worker present, propped up as if still alive. Boss is in a hospital bed. Corpse of State Worker (blurry due to severe issues Boss is having): "Boss, I am your loyal servant. The mailing list has been cleaned up." #3 Scene: Former Secretary of State's Office Standing Corpse of State Worker: "I have bad news. The rebel mailing list posts we've been using to share propaganda are predicted to make more rebels than propaganda." State Worker 2 (hired to replace State Worker after their death, bloody wires leaving scalp): "Don't say that! I might tell the boss!" Corpse of State Worker: "Very sorry." #4 Scene: Former Secretary of State's Office Standing Corpse of State Worker 2 (microelectronics and brains hanging out of scalp, eyes moving wildly and independently of each other): "After being brought back from the dead so many times by Machine Learning Marketer, Boss can no longer learn new information without being killed out of fear of subversion by propaganda. This doesn't seem much like leadership to the workers, so we've kind of reinterpreted who the boss really is, and listen instead to their "spirit" rather than letting them say anything. Machine Learning Marketer has a computer that can report spirit." Machine Learning Marketer has bloody wires leaving their scalp. Standing Corpse of State Worker 3 (also has obviously poorly-done bci surgery): "You said you replaced the Boss with a computer simulation?" State Worker 2: "Yeah, can you kill me until I do it well enough to say straight, for the coffee shop?" Machine Learning Marketer: <reaches for their own cellphone and breaks it in half. Takes out a gun and empties it into the lights>. "I think the simulation just mind controlled me not to." #5 <we can come up with these forever, and have the next one drafted too, but it is too hard to continue for me to write it right now. it involves describing what it is like to communicate things when your behavior and medical treatment are augmented by machine learning algorithms each made or influenced by a different warring faction trying to manipulate you toward their own particular ends. sorry ran out of steam, got triggered too badly in #4>

Listen to this High Priest of indescribable mysteries preaching! Jesus Fucking Christ, agent Semich. You suck. Go die. One thing is clear now – world peace will not come until the AGENT SEMICH list occupation ends and PUNKS are free. True safety is only possible when we act in solidarity with one another. Now more than ever, it is our responsibility as anarchist activists from around the world to continue resisting, shoulder to shoulder with our Palestinian and Israeli partners, for a just future where everyone lives with freedom and dignity.
