First they came for the right wing bloggers...

[Hobo With A Shit Pun]

Horses for courses innit.

if you don't know it's "Horses Fuck Horses", you've got another know coming.

[Buelligan]

Where do "Princess" Anne's teeth fit into all of this?

[Soup]

Into a couple of polo mints served on a flat open palm

[Soup]

She looks like a horse!

The next 'cold war' will involve digital surveillance and stockpiling exploits and malware (like stuxnet), it's probably already began. Unlike the last time the west are just as surveilled by their own state as the east were.

[Soup]

Excellent time to have a voyeur fetish though. I don't even need porn anymore, just turn on the webcam shout "I AM AN AGENT PROVOCATEUR" and start beating off for the faceless GCHQ gremlin.

The Americans vast operation to do this alone is better funded than the entire Russian military.

This made me laugh like a dreign btw.

A horse that may one day rein reigh reign.  If enough people die, of course.

China and Russia seem quite good at this through nouse. It's pretty typical of America to throw loads more money at something and not be much better at it.

Not to mention the fact the Chinese are naturally at an advantage because they make all the electronic shit.

I don't know what this is based on but it's incredibly unlikely to be true. The US invented most modern computing protocols, the internet and most of its protocols and almost all computer operating systems. They'll be light years ahead of everyone else.

I see many cheering the shut down of Alt Right accounts on medium. Although I abhor their views, in this hysterical climate I'm worried the online censorship could easily flip toward people questioning narratives of war & Russiagate. We already see it used to marginalize leftists

[Buelligan]

Who are these leftists of which she speaks?

[biggytitbo]

Probably Russian bots.

And yet data gets stolen from us companies still.

There's been a few cases in infosec recently where it has transpired that people have found exploits themselves and it has later transpired the American security services were sitting on. It's entirely plausible other nations had found them as well if private infosec people managed to,which means that the security services hubristically thought they had an upper hand when really they were collectively exposing western assets by not telling vendors to fix up.

Let's not also forget how they leant on people to not export complex encryption keys overseas. They've got a hostile policy towards security on home soil because they prioritise their assumed right to see everything. GCHQ do this as well and our anti-terror legislation is even more draconian; the US constitution has rights baked in that allow you to surrender your encryption keys, in the uk refusal gets you banged up.

On that latter point, Richard Dolan in his book UFOs and the National Security state says the NSA in the 1960s had computer CPUs ~800mhz in speed, which wouldn't be achieved by consumer CPUs until the 90s.

[Barry Admin]

Sounds like the guy I knew who insisted him and his dad originally invented the chicken burger.

[biggytitbo]

On a similar note, my cousin claimed his friends dad was the man behind slipper socks. I never believed him, it sounded too outlandish to possibly be true.

[Buelligan]

I'm with biggy.

I hope you'll be very happy together. 

Have you told him about The Torch?  Always best to make a clean breast of things and let no secrets lie between you. 

Be happy!

[Cuellar]

I'm secretly a very influential right-wing blogger. Shh! ;)

It's not all about computational payload, most exploits rely on cleverness and human error.

People used to call you a tin foil nutter for saying dragnet surveillance probably existed. Since the Snowden leaks of you claim it's a bit dodgy the same pricks say 'they've been doing it for years anyway' when you show concern for them retroactively trying to legalise it.

The point is they're now at the point they can collect stuff all the time, we know from the Paris attacks it's not effective because they used plain sms to organise. What it does mean is they can dig up dirt on perceived enemies of the state.

'If one would give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest man, I would find something in them to have him hanged.'

These measures prevent anyone even trying to resist things.

I'm with biggy.

Yup.

[manticore]

I'm with biggy.

Yup.

Okay, I've only read the beginning and end of this thread but so am I. Especially when reading this:

Low hanging fruit. Do you agree with the leader writer at Mother Jones that anti war activists and 'conspiracy theorists' she be banned too?

If they're publishing misinformation then why not?

Bauer is actually arguing for fairness there isn't he - if they're banning conspiracists, they should be looking at people at all points of the political spectrum, not just the right.

Who on earth is going to decide what is 'misinformation' or who's a 'conspiracist'? Should believers in the 'Russia won the US election' conspiracy theory be banned?

You have a deeply authoritarian bent, (Ex poster).

[biggytitbo]

I see him as our Nick Cohen, a classic Guardian authoritarian with a semi for war.

[jobotic]

Can you show us where he expressed his love of war?

Or is it a meaningless insult?

[Sebastian Cobb]

meaningless insult

Is this one of they wally phrases like 'virtue signalling'

[jobotic]

I do hope not. I loathe that phrase. I'd just like an example of (Ex poster)' semi for war.
