decimation: so an actual usg spycatcher actually caught found that the polygraph actually hindered his investigation

decimation: so basically they are going to try to convict this guy for training people pretending to be people who take usg's pseudoscience seriously

mircea_popescu: yeah, that's right. USG pseudo-secrecy agency used to fuck up idiots stupid enough to trust it now claims "it was bitcoin"

pete_dushenski: that usg is less threatening by the day i tell you

asciilifeform: only to victims of usg cranial reformatting.

undata: asciilifeform: the usgov can tag its own pentagon with a missile in broad daylight

asciilifeform: undata: except when usg can be caught with pants down.

undata: TheNewDeal: supposing "he" is usgov; why wouldn't they just sit back and let it take over, and hold their 1/21 or more of it?

asciilifeform: but not the organs of usg, nor of finance.

asciilifeform: not clear that these folks have an actual take on the subject. parroting usg religion - yes.

mircea_popescu: in fact, the usg seems moreover its prey than anything.

mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> well the only remarkable thing is that, with the profusion of winblows users, coins are not yet wandering off into usg wallets en masse. <<< reddit is not, contrary to what it tells itself, relevant to bitcoin

asciilifeform: well the only remarkable thing is that, with the profusion of winblows users, coins are not yet wandering off into usg wallets en masse.

assbot: Logged on 15-07-2014 02:55:38; asciilifeform: 'swamp donkey' << lol! apparently a usg version of 'cryptolocker'

assbot: 1 results for 'cryptolocker usg' : http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=cryptolocker+usg

Adlai: !s cryptolocker usg

mircea_popescu: it's the one card out that could save teh current usg / societal structure.

asciilifeform: incidentally, this document is a fine example of the kind of stereotypically-bureaucratic style of writing usg runs on.

decimation: mircea_popescu: there are genuine people with genuine skills who spend their entire lives attempting to make usg better

mircea_popescu: but in general : it is good that any one person steals any one sum from the usg.

BingoBoingo: I could seriously imagine the chinese miners being coerced to oppose a USGaving blocksize increase simply because it hurts the payment processors. Bezelzebub bless the triad of mutual enemies working together for our success!

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'

decimation: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/13/us/cuts-in-military-mean-job-losses-for-career-staff.html?_r=0 << usg is broke, decides to 'fire' army officers rather than cut back food stamps

asciilifeform: they get those from usg.

gernika: Just seems to run contrary to the usgovmedia claim that ISIS is using bitcoin.

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' ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎

thestringpuller: all while they are being raped with USG cock in their mouth

decimation: asciilifeform: I think you might be unimpressed with the reality of usg rpvs: http://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/archive/2013/May/Pages/PentagonEyesDealsWithSatelliteIndustryToFillDemandforDroneCommunications.aspx

mircea_popescu: maybe it's scaling with the usg *gasp*

ben_vulpes: clearly wagering on usg winning this round

mircea_popescu: but let it be clear that if we get that far i will paying for abducted and gangraped usg politico daughters, and putting the videos online.

mircea_popescu: the problem with this entire usg strat is that bitcoin never was and likely never will be for the retards.

mircea_popescu: jurov: not openssh but openssL. as it is under BSD, they're free to do whatever wit it. << yeah openssl. not a question of under bsd or not, idea was more like : the proof that USG.HB was a thing, that was then implemented as openssl.HB is the fact that looky, a Win.HB apparently exists(ed). like, if you find a goat on a field you may think you've both discovered and invented the goat. but if you then later find anothe

asciilifeform: microshit is the ultimate execution of 'plausibly deniable' usg mandate.

mircea_popescu: either they stole openssh code (unlikely) or the thing was actually usg-mandated (which in some interpretations is one step above what we already knew, ie sponsored)

mats_cd03: thank usg taxpayers for latest advances in cn, ru aircraft design

decimation: this is generally standard usg management practice as far as I can tell

decimation: the mind boggles at all the similar stories that are stuffed in some usg filing cabinet

decimation: http://spacenews.com/article/military-space/42481us-missile-defense-agency-intercepts-three-targets-in-%E2%80%9Craid%E2%80%9D-test << usg wants to physically demonstrate ascii's anti-missiie theory

decimation: the lefties then interview young men who gave their youth to usg to 'man missiles' http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/11/air-force-missile-wing-minuteman-iii-nuclear-weapons-burnout

decimation: http://www.fourmilab.ch/fourmilog/archives/2014-11/001538.html << herr Walker reviews a book which describes the pitiful state of usg's land-based icbms

mircea_popescu: "o no, we will just work with the usg, help them track bitcoiner's shippments. nothing bad could ever happen!"

decimation: lol http://techcrunch.com/2014/11/07/codecademy-reskillusa/ << recycle jobless 'workers' to skilled web developers in three months, please please usg you pay?

bounce: ``Andrew Lewman, executive director of the Tor Project, which runs the service, said in an e-mail that it does not condone its use for illegal purposes and that it was unclear how authorities discovered the operators of the illicit sites.'' -- yet even the usg promotes its use to explicitly break the law in other countries. funny how that works.

decimation: usg wanting to maintain the last little vestige of us ic-printing is a different thing than usg deciding electronics

BingoBoingo: <decimation> if usg can manipulate electronics, why did it allow electronics to flee to china? << US never surrendered all of its foundries. IBM sale is getting a National Security review for a reason

decimation: if usg can manipulate electronics, why did it allow electronics to flee to china?

decimation: eh, I don't buy the omnipresent usg thesis

mircea_popescu: saifedean so basically, would you say the usg is using grant money to coerce lies being published as "science" and to force people who won't do it leave academia ?

saifedean: well taleb was the reason i went heretical, or the gateway drug at least, i met him and became friend and then went heretic... he liked the heretic version and was happy to be on my committee as the external examiner... but the columbia folks didn't like it so i had to rewrite it and do my Hail USG's, and he still sat onmy committee for that one and helped me defend it from their fangs

asciilifeform: let's try that again. what's usg's plan for criminal 'elements'? not extermination, in any sense. but to keep the relationship symbiotic rather than predatorial.

asciilifeform: the two purposes of parallel construction are the obvious one (disguise and preserve pwnage capability) but also to sow distrust and spymania among the opponents of usg.

bounce: AIUI it was usg HUMINT that was laughingly poor

mircea_popescu: the usg sigint capacity is really very poor, in spite of large expenditure and publicity

mircea_popescu: sell some pills while keeping track of exactly all the ways the usg gets the data, actually, then leak that.

asciilifeform: e.g., 'sr2 had a usg mole.' 'no we didn't' 'ah, but mr envelope-licker was our mole' 'no he wasn't, we were best chums' 'he just swore in court that he was mole.' 'but he did it to get charges dropped against self' 'tough'

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform exactly. which is the angle that i stand behind here. usg is using the tor as it was designed to be used, meanwhile lies about how they got the data, and the people accused are too fucking stupid for that not to stick.

mircea_popescu: this is the day, when a pretend-company cites as source of its own fucking moves the official usg news outlet.

decimation: yeah, if anything usg agents will do what the movies, newspapers, and tv tells them they should

decimation: I'm dubious that there is much real coordination of these things, more just random entropy in various usg departments

decimation: asciilifeform: actually this is a good point. usg is ineffective at enforcing whatever 'immigration policy' it creates anyway, that's a sideshow

decimation: heh I think usg still pays for highly-enriched uranium from soviet bombs

decimation: look, if usg got out of the money manipulation game, hard money came back, and folks had to get by on their own achievements, immigration wouldn't be an issue

asciilifeform: 'USG. (Bitstamp and Coinbase)' << might wanna fix

asciilifeform: saying merely that usg loves 'crank bait'

mircea_popescu: obviously usgavin then failed to deliver on this, as on anything else. another broken promise.

kakobrekla: well buttstamp gives dox to usg

ben_vulpes: usgpolitics boooooring

decimation: so, usg & friends might arrest you if you carry a stick

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that particular piece was written while waiting for a locked-up msword turd on a usg slavemachine, also running mandatory usg antivirus, which wedged the disk

thestringpuller: on a scale of 0 to usg how turdified is it?

TheNewDeal: not as bad as the usg?

decimation: tyranny - usg fines a company for exporting that which is easily downloadable everywhere. anarchy - usg pretends it cannot investigate welfare fraud

asciilifeform: just as usg is worth mentioning.

asciilifeform: 'POTS' (voice telephone) service exists pretty much at the decree of usg, mainly for its own purposes

asciilifeform keeps a fax in consulting office. it is used only for usg.

chetty: dont use fingerprint, usg says you have no privacy rights with those

asciilifeform: johntraveller: afaik his stepfather, usg diplomat, dragged him to several places around the empire

asciilifeform: other thing is, when reading his 'i'm a surrender monkey, usg cannot be killed' posts, must remember that he's a 'tenured sea cucumber' in the sense that he keeps a dependopotamus, it birthed children, and he knows he won't be making it out of the gravity pit.

mircea_popescu: johntraveller which brings us to the next question. how do you distinguish this from the usual usg psyops ? astroturfing/trolling for pseudo-communities ?

asciilifeform: imho the bugger's a usg agent provocateur.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I see this as the USG telegraphing the rectotherm future

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: how did you think usg would grab cheap coin that it could sell even cheaper? by praying?

decimation: well, welfare fraud definitely serves some purpose, otherwise usg would 'investigate' it

decimation: I like how one arm of USG is threating anyone who has touched a bitcoin, while the other arm claims that they could not possibly investigate welfare fraud

BingoBoingo: http://qntra.net/2014/11/court-order-bfl-to-transfer-bitcoins-to-court/ << USG shorting augmented

asciilifeform: but in reality, the place is a miniature r&d laboratory for usg bezzlatronics.

decimation: that fellow who lived under a stump or whatever might claim to be somewhat independent, but really he's just taking advantage of usg's lack landlordship

asciilifeform: but the point here is, the most humble tomato peddler at my local market - still usg funded.

decimation: of course 99% of farmers prefer to receive usg electronic transfers directly to their accounts

asciilifeform: if you're a potato monger in idaho - usg funded.

asciilifeform: that is, either works for usg, works for entity funded by usg, or works for a humble physical service (e.g. restaurant, plumber's shop) that is frequented by 1 and 2

BingoBoingo: decimation: No, it's where USG policy used to be made

decimation: lol so the wall street journal op-ed is where one makes usg policy now?

decimation: I wonder if usg has attempted to jail someone for possessing a private rsa key that is directly linked with extortion?

bounce: is this proof the USG is completely filled with muppets?

mircea_popescu: I wonder how many people hit on incredibly improbable but bothersome stuff like 1smallC0K or 1yoMOMMAisHO or 1JeSuSgAy w/e and as a result think bitcoin is evil and gather around the hater sites.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> if there were a 'pepsi' alternative to usg, folks who can make any claim at value would be defecting in droves. << there is, they aren't.

asciilifeform: BTC Guild Shutting Down, May be Sold << say hello to usg's brand-spanking-new mining pool reserve.

asciilifeform: ('usg' here should be read as the entire nato blok.)
