mircea_popescu: but if you want to know how the usg corrupt class siphons the public hreasury - look no further. that's the system, "acquisitions", government-mandated, like facebook buying some derpy app for $random_sum, and so on. "we gave you free money, now you give it back" goes the story.

mircea_popescu: also of some (psychiatric) interest, the nonsensical attempt to equate "meaning" altogether, as the concept, with the shoddy, untenable implementation by usg & friends. "ip" is not the superset of noesis ffs.

mircea_popescu: you keep re-injecting this "usg has a head" thing.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform zee germanz had a small unit built at some point. then they tore it down because usg lobby for fucking them over ; ended up paying ~half a dollar per kW produced in "dismantling" costs.

mircea_popescu: it's plenty sexy. it resolves a number of notable problems, correctly - which is to say without support for usg.

mircea_popescu: being part of a usg "protected class" is insta-outlawry. everyone may take your shit, rape you and kill you, and nobody cares. serves you fucking right, shithead.

mircea_popescu: myeah i was looking more for a single line from credible souce. "pdf" from usg exact opposite on all scores.

mircea_popescu: actually, maybe you explain this to me, since we're on it. what exactly can possibily fucking possess you to put your stuff on usg.imgur instead of building yout own platform ?

mircea_popescu: a) participated in usg scheme ; b) did not amass sufficient secret files to REALLY hurt the other participants.

mircea_popescu: ie, more "visits" than average usg fishwrap gets in a week. none of them yielded anything ~whatsoever~, which discorages exactly no one. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: ah ah. usg nigger cut funding ?

mircea_popescu: check it out, usg so desperate is even trying to co-opt shambling forum scams now.

mircea_popescu: and so the matter settled : what started on may 25th as a slight disparity between the usg faux bitcoin exchanges trading at 448 (bitfinex isn't inclued here, having nothing to do with bitcoin altogether) while btcchina was reporting 455 (and 2/3 of the total volume), eventually peaked out at 510/580 (with btcchina still doing 2/3 of the volume) and eventually settled at 530/540. the moral that "you should have yielded rather

mircea_popescu: if tomorrow muhammad offers a gram more petrocheese / unit time than usg.yelp.ceo.my, she's gone.

mircea_popescu: so the various usg exchanges doing fuckall volume are STILL clinging on to their delusional notions of what the price is, days later.

mircea_popescu: you totally need to start running a blog and stop ugc-ing your productions away to the usg.

mircea_popescu: imagine, usg.mit actually has derpy 20something chicks so fucking insane, they run out to whore for it. FOR IT!

mircea_popescu: Framedragger i honestly don't give a shit what small national governments think they're doing or not doing or whatever. "lithuania" the subject of law is as unrecognized as usg is. no relation to anything, no power to anything, they can write bluntman and chronic comics about how "it is" an' "keep it real" if they so wish.

mircea_popescu: awww look at that, goonswarm (game group of SA [sort-of the center of the ~male libtard internet, like the action movies to go with gawker&whatever, mostly famous for providing usg agent biomaterial for middle east bodybags]) has been getting raped in eve (a derpy game about "space" that mostly consists of spreadsheets. we used to have a guild there too) got raped. they lost about as much territory since 2010ish as the us los

mircea_popescu: basically some usg assholes tried to hijack the bitcoin. trb aka the real bitcoin is the... well, the real bitcoin.

mircea_popescu: shinohai well, the usg party is ever less confident they'll get much over a summer of forks ; "ethereum is good" was the backup.

mircea_popescu: ie, an individual usg black dude sided with the usg side.

mircea_popescu: yes. so usg gang > black gang.

mircea_popescu: but i don't read them out of principle, yeah. nothing to do with security per se, it's all political. in general i don't wish to encourage adobe ("oh, we couldn't do without them" bullshit, it's exactly the "Social media network effect matters" sole argument of usg it corporatardia) and in particular i don't think very much of what someone who expresses themselves in pdf might think or say. much like i wouldn't have read nigg

mircea_popescu: my thinking is that this is a passive thing - the usg wasn't collecting them more than the sewer collects pearl necklaces.

mircea_popescu: look - the blunders of usg post taliban beheading in 2001 are not more meaningful nor worthy of investigation in the direct sense than the movement of a salted snail. so i don't admit that whatever post 2001 example of behaviour or anecdotal poit of evidence may be used as part of a larger construction of ideas.

mircea_popescu: anyway, i feel dumber for having dug up into the unfunny pit of usg-ian unintentional comedy. was there a point to this excursion ?

mircea_popescu: incidentally, J.A. Parker's apology / trashing of the da should be mandatory reading for anyone on this "usg can do things in its own courts" tack.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "operation merlin" was one of the countless usg ss blunders cca 1998 ; it actually did something cca 2001 ; described in a 2010 book, for which some black dude was sentenced to jail in 2015.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not even a matter of sons ; the usg has no sons, nor any vigor in the seed. it's a matter of desperation - everything americans don't buy, the chinese buy, take apart and move to china. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: (and where's the money come from, you wonder ? ah, well, usg.fed.jpm and usg.fed.gs are lending companies money to buy their own stock back :)

mircea_popescu: soo, chinese govt unloaded half a trillion "western world and modern democracy" (WWMD) paper in 2015, including ~300bn us treasuries. that's about 1/6 of their total exposure to usg bonds.

mircea_popescu: and in yet other lulnewz, harold rosenberg wrote "heard of independent mind" in 1948, and died in 1978. guess who the fuck STILL claims copyright over that fucking essay ? usg!

mircea_popescu: coming right next after the official usg libertard ideologue steps in here to prove to me how wrong i am about things and matters.

mircea_popescu: recall, the usg & friends, as well as any and all other wanna-be, pretended or otherwise power centers have been regularly humiliated.

mircea_popescu: basically, tmsr has been extremely effectual at murdering usg assets and crippling usg influence in bitcoin, this doth not sit well with them ;

mircea_popescu: surrendering ? nah, ar is the future of usg.

mircea_popescu: there's now and again cases when actual forces hostile to usg do the whole thing, but when genuine independent research occurs... well. this.

mircea_popescu: the sad truth underneath this all is, that the "computer [security] industry" has slowly became dependent on usg-sponsored burnings to the degree that unless weimer and co actually write all the stuff and put it out, they can't do it on their own, in any sort of timeframe.

mircea_popescu: come to think of it, tyhe usg aspires to be tmsr in more ways than one, huh.

mircea_popescu: anyway, Framedragger golang is not liked here because we don't own it, and we don't like usg.google more than we like usg.anything, and because it seems quite well engineered to work as a baited hook for the usg chump works. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: apparently this is a permanent item, usg-born orcs forcibly integrated by usg, revert to the tribal arrangements that are adequate to their needs and capacities.

mircea_popescu: i subscribe to "the end is nigh" theory, the usg dept of berkshire convened the rich kids for a visit over with obama and they all agreed to donate moar money to the nazi party.
