usg-themed spam is sop for years now
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 12:59:40; mircea_popescu: amusing how transparent the
usg efforts of turning bitcoin into gold are, by the way. "oh, we don't want to kill bitcoin, honest, we just want to make it so we're the only ones that can safely hold it. you know... like gold..."
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 03:49:45; decimation: the massive antibody response from
usg against these escaped prisoners is amusing
mircea_popescu: i will also observe that s.mg launches much awaited bitcoin's mmorpg,
usg.agitprop is silent ; "blockstream" launches "much awaited" (by whom ?) nothing at all, the wsj seems compelled to write it up within the hour.

☟︎ decimation: asciilifeform: actually what's amusing is that
usg has many similar competing departments
assbot: Logged on 13-11-2014 19:04:36; *: asciilifeform admits that he suspects bip64 of being a plot to create
usg-like bonds in btc. folks will be asked to trace X proper btc for X+epsilon 'locked' ones that are to land back in their pocket 'in the future', should they live long enough, but are actually recovable 'because this is how the world works'
pete_dushenski: "the TIC and NETWORZ consolidation initiative is behind schedule and unlikely to achieve its goal of delivering less than 100 connections either in short- or mid-term timeframes." << not saying this is an easy task, but holy shit does the manhattan project *feel* like it was 3 generations ago. what goals can
usg hope to accomplish these days, other than writing more pieces of paper and making more pp slides ?
mircea_popescu: funny how the buterin waterfal works. there's allegedly all these
usg "companies" with "millions" in their coffers that have "investors" and whanot. meanwhile nobody can be arsed to buy any amount of their stock at a 50% to 90% discount. for like...a year now.
punkman: assbot: #Justicefordillon Officer Involved - YouTube ... << why are
usg cops so afraid of hands in pockets
decimation: asciilifeform: yes indeed, nobody in the us is more than two or three degrees from
usg decimation: asciilifeform: yeah that's surely the majority of
usg decimation: maybe
usg employees think that if the just stick around one more year they can 'change the system' liked they fantasized about when they signed up
decimation:
usg has promised all of them a comforatable retirement if they play ball
assbot: Logged on 05-06-2015 03:06:48; asciilifeform: williamdunne: the
usg connection of karpeles is as clear as daylight, considering how he is investigationally untouchable (both in the sr trials and in the greatest btc-related monetary black hole known to date)
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah,
usg can still claim usd tax
decimation: everything
usg does is partially mixed with its 'civil relgion'
decimation: asciilifeform: but there's an interesting parallel to
usg: they 'won' the cold war, yet failed to unemploy the 'national security' complex
decimation: I suspect there are people in
usg who hold his views exactly
pete_dushenski: is ver '
usg' or just a fucking retard ? doesn't really matter, does it.
pete_dushenski: 1. it might not be readily apparent what is and is not '
usg' from your vantage point.
pete_dushenski: ok then. so... be mindful of who you're associating yourself with, is all. and what you're the face of, regardless of its apparent
usg-icity to you.
williamdunne: One of the main things I've been focusing on is getting as many degrees of separation as reasonably possible from
USG williamdunne: pete_dushenski: Not yet convinced, while he is responsible I do think there must have been a malicious third party involved which I suspect to be the

mircea_popescu: just... fucking
usg numbers. they make as much sense as a pancake rabbit with a peanut on its head
decimation: he is facing the court because... he didn't tell
usg what he was spending his money on
ascii_field: for overseas folks: cato et al play the same role in
usg as zhirinovsky played in ru in '90s
ascii_field: gotta love the
usg shill 'independent think tank' academitards
decimation:
usg setup an 'exception' and now the mob sits upon it
assbot: Logged on 02-06-2015 21:47:50; ascii_field: punkman: for reasons i cannot fathom,
usg does not even exempt its own snoops from this.

mircea_popescu: ascii_field baking the thing into the hardware is exactly equal to import
usg.h

usg entrapment op
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile Los Zetas and the other non-
USG cartel have their Eric Holder weapons somewhere...
BingoBoingo: From what I've read Sinaloa's fortunes have taken a turn for the worse since their
USG connections at the top were revealed
assbot: Logged on 03-06-2015 05:10:49; Landgull: Plus, as I said, the
USgov owns the UAgov, but unlike the US where the government really effects your life, the government here is a mass of incompetent bureaucracy without any serious ability to organize anything.
Landgull: Sure, if the Ukrainians had anything to steal, the government would rapidly begin to steal it. But right now it's more profitable for them to steal from the
USG.
mircea_popescu: Landgull the 20mb block is a transparent attempt by the
usg to take control back.
Landgull: Ascii: I won't disagree with you (decimation, you're wrong.) that most of the world is currently under the
USgov thumb, to some degree. But you are still better off in an outlying part of it, where the control is less potent, and has much less influence on your daily life (like, in terms of being able to buy food that doesn't make you sick, and being able to date girls who aren't insane) than you are sitting in their back yard
Landgull: Unlike the
USgov with a nebulous idea of "we want to spread democracy guyz" they actually know what they're fighting for.
BingoBoingo: <Landgull> Plus, as I said, the
USgov owns the UAgov, but unlike the US where the government really effects your life, the government here is a mass of incompetent bureaucracy without any serious ability to organize anything. << Kinda why Phillipines is on my exit candidate list. Massively orchish and
USG proving proving ground for cultural failures.

☟︎ Landgull: If you're going to declare yourself an enemy of the
USgov and be a real threat to them, they'll find you, sure.
Landgull: If bitcoin starts replacing fiat, the
USgov isn't going to have the resources to come after you.
decimation: Landgull: the thing is, if you make trouble and
usg wants you, the derpy local government will please their masters
Landgull: But seriously, it takes 10 minutes of talking to actual Ukrainians walking around here to see that they haven't bought
USgov propaganda properly. As much as the information net wants you to believe it's the same everywhere, it isn't.
decimation: lol ukrainians have done was
usg wills

☟︎ mircea_popescu: you will note that contrary to deceitful reporting to the contrary, by both the sec itself and the
usg prop machine,
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Exactly, only the
USG seems to care
williamdunne: chetty: Seems like the
USG is the only one who would prosecute someone for offering CFDs built on smart-contracts
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> like the TRILLIONS of dollars a derpy website "on the deep web o.O" that couldn't sell a kilo of coke is nevertheless associated with in
usg paperwork. <<< wasn't supposed to sell kilos of coke 8)
williamdunne: TBH every time more details come out about the whole MtGox shit-heap, it sounds more and more like there was a significant
USG element to the almighty fuck up
mircea_popescu: like the TRILLIONS of dollars a derpy website "on the deep web o.O" that couldn't sell a kilo of coke is nevertheless associated with in

decimation: trinque: they are fleeing the reconquistada as well as
usg 'sitting' upon silicon valley
decimation:
usg actually should subsidize rather than punish hackers. Like terrorists, they provide the perfect excuse to expand state power with little opposition
williamdunne:
USG already pays good money to dell and the likes for information on who buys what from them, and what bitcoin addresses are involved in the transaction
ascii_field:
usg reserves some of its fastest and least-bureaucratized immune reactions for mutinies which might attract u.s. 'men of action'
mats:
USG discovers american citizens involved in foreign, would-be coup, decides to sell them out to local security rather than dealing with it themselves
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it's a mandatory
usg rapehole; the remote admin thing is just a way to squeeze a bit of marketing juice out of it, since it is already there
decimation: the wright brothers almost immediately began selling to
usg decimation: asciilifeform: note that
usg doesn't really need to be 'good', it's just that there's no credible alternative
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: yea pretty much
usg cardano, just didn't know if it had been discussed. now it has.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Its not like that is the
USGs responsibility </sarc>
