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: 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.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-05-18 15:27 asciilifeform: it will be truly comedic if it turns out that the performance of the clowns starring in the 'tor is genuine obstacle to
usg, really, believe' circus ends up extending to hanging
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.
mircea_popescu: in their view, strangely mirrored by various other failed warrior castes, such as the manchuku or the
usg, translation is a whore's job.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, looking forward to more "{Security researchers|IT specialists|Computer experts} with {University of Derp in Derpistan|
USG.RedHat.Whatever|The HTTPS Internet} published {Literotica|Fetlife|OkCupid|Ask.fm|Phuctor|whatever} {database|userlist|secret excel codebase} publicly! We don't have a copy because we don't believe in things, we prefer names."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> (incidentally why should
usg be doing ~all~ of the thermo-journalism!? time for free men to do their share..?) << this is quite so.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i can readily see
usg womanchild losing her shit because it's the first time in her life that he encounters the implacable "sit down and shut up, worm"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it ALSO is the absolute matrix-mother of ALL
usg-tronic "intellectual propety"
mircea_popescu: otherwise, as you know, art projects, they're worth exactly what the [
usg] rich patron says they're worth, for as long as that lasts (not usually long)
a111: Logged on 2016-05-06 04:46 mircea_popescu: he's competent, economically. better, what's that. he's a faithful
usg muppet, working to make the place more in line with washington's interest.
mircea_popescu: he's competent, economically. better, what's that. he's a faithful
usg muppet, working to make the place more in line with washington's interest.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how many of these until we just declare
usg da offices a criminal entreprise wholesale and start prosecuting them for narco crimes ?
trinque is very curious about what *other* organizations exist which cut through the various
usg entities
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Nah, its
USG. All those sportsball movies they watch with their future fatgendered kids are getting to their heads. The formula is it is never the most athletic player that gets the moment in the big game. Its the loser who "wants it" more. I blame Emilio Estevez.
mircea_popescu: anyway, is it a mere coincidence that some derp posing as a "free journalist" in berlin is the
usg point man for the rsa diddling efforts ?
mircea_popescu: the principal property of the
usg.misc is that it collapses under own weight, so.
mircea_popescu: i guess a bunch of weirdos have the
usg to thank for their wholly delusional belief that child porn is "big business", somehiw.
mircea_popescu: at some point, esp the smaller markets, were 2/3
usg by mass
mircea_popescu: send men to where they have leverage - such as by exposing a whole swathe of
usg "law enforcement" derps.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag it's some anon russian guy. if you think rando
usg endowment is a better shot...
mircea_popescu: the notion that
usg's word vs tmsr's word has a chance in hell is lulzy.
mircea_popescu: everyone gotta eat, and the general majority of these people eats at
usg.*
mircea_popescu: but no, it's entirely out of the question any sort of natural event is at work here.
usg.nsa been diddling not merely angela merkel's phone,
mircea_popescu: the mirror relation between "world peace" and "bitcoin" in its treatment in
usg agitprop sources being, of course, striking.
mircea_popescu: thus, undermines [what's left of] "world peace", as the
usg defines the term. this after the 2000s saw the underminiung of the other chunk, with china, russia and now iran making carriers useless.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the
usg is very worried about it, because think about it - unshieldable missile target.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> (and happily detect, e.g., neutron flux) << it undermines peace you see. for some definitions of peace which reduces to "
usg makes all the war"
mircea_popescu: which is why all the "get people to sign" is so paramount to the whole activity of
usg thuggery.
