Our interventionist foreign policy is the gift that keeps on giving. Is there any Middle Eastern country that we haven’t screwed up yet? Oh yeah – Iran. Give Obama and McCain time. That will be the clusterfuck that destroys the world.

if TWM persists in using racial memes to pad out his arguments, then he will reap those reactions. . . same with using sexual imagery when referencing women, be they reporters, politicians, etc.

when TWM realises that many who are not WM can hear dog whistles behind the verbiage, perhaps they will understand not everyone agrees with their points-of-viewing.

pointing fingers and blame never got anyone respect.  pointing out fallacies sometimes does, if changing minds is the goal.

Who was just about as embarassing as Bush, who was just about as embarassing as Clinton ... and so on and so on.  It's a systemic thing, really, the individuals are just putting faces to the fascism.

Fascism needed a new face, especially after Franco and Hitler butcherized it, although they were more dictators than fascist....explained:

Fascism has to have a compliance of its people.  It's basically a corporate dictatorship with a smile. What Hilter/Franco learned was that, at some time, even your own people will turn against you (especially if you act in an irrational fashion). 

The new fascism teaches this: if you tow the company line, you will live a good life (at the expense of others).  You will be safe, and you will be separated from all responsibility.  Think of the scene with Agent Smith and Cypher from "The Matrix".  Instead of forcing people to fight for you (either by ideology or by force), all you now have to do is pay them, with a smile, to do so.  (the smile is key...because people smiling "are doing the right thing).

The only thing worse than a jack-knifed booted statist is a suede-booted statist in a suit.

The gangsters now have uniforms on.  The gangsters now sit in corner offices.  The gangsters now have jobs as government officials (and politicians).

Obama is Israel's puppet?? Are you high on crack?

Obama is the front man for the Muslim Brotherhood. That's why the typical secular Egyptian in the street hates Obama.

It is extremely hard to believe that Israel would permit its "puppet" to actively front and support the Muslim Brotherhood, one of whose stated political goals is to exterminate all the jews in the middle east.

Israel and the Saudis are buddies.   The Saudis, Qatar, Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR, Hamas, Al Quida are essentially the same people.  The House of Saud are supposedly Iraqi j*ws - put in place by the British. 

Rockefeller, who's agent in America(?), helped set up the Saudis.  You think the Rockefeller's bosses back in Europe would let real Arabs control all that oil going back to the 1940s?

There you go again, speaking rational and all logic an' shit.

Haven't you heard it's not nice to assign blame?

Just because you MISUNDERSTAND another person's CULTURE doesn't give you the right to JUDGE, assign BLAME and hurt their feelings.  Their culture of assaulting women, buying Avon products for their Bacchi Boys and beheading anyone who tells them their actions are barbarous is just as elightened and important as the one you hail from.  I mean, come one, where would we be without the number zero?

btw:  that's sarc. The facts are:

.... the mideast is definitively All Fucked Up.

... your idiot consensus of downchecking that fact doesn't disprove it.

... the muslims learned of zero from the Hindis.

Because you make a much bigger deal of Islam than actual Muslims do in practical dealings. The Sauds may call themselves Muslims and act the part to some degree, but they are tyrant-dictators first. If it benefits them to have a backroom alliance with Israhole, they'll do it. If it benefits them to support Wahabism, they'll do it. Tyrants and dictators are the same everywhere. Every mideast regime is manipulating every religious group and organization from top to bottom for the purpose of political leverage. No one isn't playing that game.

and, on the the other hand, there are a series of U.S. laws that require the U.S. to continue to support Israel with arms and taxpayer money, no matter what trouble Israel causes in the mideast...   this is pure treason on the part of US lawmakers as Israel's interests are not by definition U.S. interests.

It used to be that we installed secular dictators in the middle east who tried to marginalize violent wack-jobs like the Muslim Brotherhood.

Now, we are putting the nut-jobs in power.

You can make a case that we shouldn't be installing dictators, but if we are going to go to the trouble of doing so, you can easily argue that the secular ones were a lot better than the current crop of lunatics that Obama seems to be installing.

@"where were the people the last 20 times we installed someone to rule their country.."

=> that was the past, which clearly most Egyptians have learned from (unlike most westerners).  17 million in a country of 83 million - that would be like having roughly 65 million people protesting in the US...  And imagine what the numbers would be if it wasn't for the terror from all the recent murders and attacks on protesters.  Regardless, it's still so many that the army & US know they lack the resources to effectively suppress or intimidate it.

 

The internet has changed everything, and finally, after thousands of years of the assholes perfecting their art of domination through lying, the old tricks have largely stopped working.  Welcome to truly interesting times!  We all, today, have a huge ability to impact the world with our ideas and actions, something that was practically impossible until fairly recently...

Dr. Head, really, seriously, do you think people have red paint and the exactly right brushes just lying around to paint perfect banners, in almost flawless English, just when needed? Some of them even took the time to design nice huge posters then print them at their own expense.

Get your banners ready too, you may need them soon.

You ever hear of a print shop?  I have done business with 4 or 5 different printing shops in my neck of the woods that were able to, quite quickly I might add, design and print a variety of banners and posters for me.  I have used these banners to help in petition initiative drives, differnt marches, and protests.  The signs/banners are cheap, as the print shops are plentiful.  And don't give me the third-world country bullshit.  Egypt is very metropolitan and I can guarantee you they have shops that will print shit for people.  Chances are these shops might even be doing this for free, as they probably side with the people too.  They have computers and running water and everything outside of the US you know.

He then said if I was, that I could get a free phone with a free plan. Good to see they mixed welfare and corporate welfare. The recipients get the phone for free, the government probably gets charged $1,000 per phone.

Hmm, interesting 3rd party App. We already know that APPL's claims that their own iMessage crypt is bullshit though:

The biggest problem with Apple's position is that it just plain isn't true. If you use the iCloud backup service to back up your iDevice, there's a very good chance that Apple can access the last few days of your iMessage history. For those who aren't in the Apple ecosystem: iCloud is an optional backup service that Apple provides for free. Backups are great, but if iMessages are backed up we need to ask how they're protected. Taking Apple at their word -- that they really can't get your iMessages -- leaves us with two possibilities:
  1. iMessage backups are encrypted under a key that 'never leaves the device'.
  2. iMessage backups are encrypted using your password as a key.

Unfortunately neither of these choices really works -- and it's easy to prove it. All you need to do is run the following simple experiment: First, lose your iPhone. Now change your password using Apple's iForgot service (this requires you to answer some simple security questions or provide a recovery email). Now go to an Apple store and shell out a fortune buying a new phone.

If you can recover your recent iMessages onto a new iPhone -- as I was able to do in an Apple store this afternoon -- then Apple isn't protecting your iMessages with your password or with a device key. Too bad. (Update 6/27: Ashkan Soltani also has some much nicer screenshots from a similar test.)

The sad thing is there's really no crypto to understand here. The simple and obvious point is this: if I could do this experiment, then someone at Apple could have done it too. Possibly at the request of law enforcement. All they need are your iForgot security questions, something that Apple almost certainly does keep.*  [Source 25th June]

 

I'm also left wondering why "A British company which has devised an encryption system for messaging is trying to get the UK government's GCHQ to give its first-ever approval to an off-the-shelf smartphone app." is hosted by GODADDY and New Dream Network, LLC (LA).

Call me suspicious, but you'd expect a hot new App developer to be a little more tech savvy than that. Ask anyone who thinks they're a "hacker" about GODADDY and security, as a hint. 

Ahh, company details (and a hint: they don't exist in Companies House, either):

Administrative Contact:
App, Redact info@redactapp.com
12 Park Lane
London, Select a region W1 7FU (note: this is not a valid postcode, but it does contain a message).

United Kingdom

 

Hint: 12 Park Ln, London, Greater London W1K, United Kingdom is right next to the London 7th July Bombings Memorial.

Silly Rabbits, Trix is for Kidz. Fucking spooks, always so eager to prove how supra-bright they are and leave the Cross-Word puzzle clues as a signature. Well done, that's an APP no-one will ever trust. Three hours work, and you'd have a legal cover company & plausible deniability.

 

 

Note: either journalism is dead that they can't do this 10 mins of checking, or there's infaction fighting here. If anything, it'll just fuel the 7/7 conspiracy theatre. Do I get £10k for breaking teh code? Or do I get a one-way trip to the inside of a sport's bag?

I have a strict "fuck all honeypots" rule, so no idea. Feel free to check & see if you win a prize: might be cash, might be prison, might be a dinner party where you're the star attraction.

I don't respect people who run monkey-puzzle Games to narrow their target field. And I'd just like to say "fuck you" to the suits who let their algos prune YouTube of classic Arnie scenes from a movie that came out in 1987. You're total scum, die in a fire, leeches. Hint: if people who were born after it was released can't grab the mimetic context they ain't going to buy it, fucking chimps. Every single piece of evidence shows that those who pirate spend more on legal content, your models are business stupidity to the nth degree - and you're still wondering how to make up DVD sales, muppets. Top tip: flood the medium with high quality snippets, the mimetic spread happens, you sell merchandise. That'll be another £10k, thanks, fucking brainless tossers.

 

Look at the recent uptick in Dredd 3D sales, it was a lesson. (And a sequal is well deserved, just don't let the suits fuck it up). That'll be another £10k, I'll expect £30k in my bank account by tomorrow 12 noon EST.

Could you imagine the amount of bottled up angst if there was no porn and no make-believe Facebook persona?

Might as well toss in televised sports as well.  Lots of men pretending to be little boys pretending to be sports stars.

OT:

My favorite thing to say to a guy wearing star's jersey:

"How does it feel to have another man's name on your back?"

Please tell me I'm not the only one old enough to remember the "Porn Fairies" who left mysterious stacks of sodden magazines in forests? Often in batches far too numerous to carry in one go?

Honest story: I found my Porn Fairies' stack under a tiny bridge, when I was 12, miles outside of town, where it used to flood, so there was no chance this stash would ever last. At least 50 magazines of soft-core middle aged wives who'd seen better days. The Porn Fairies were on my side that day, let me tell you that: and in true fashion to the ways of the Porn Fairies, I left them there, and never tried to haul the golden stash back. Bless the Fairies.

 

Quantum Porn Theory: where-ever there was a horny teenager, random warehouses would lose their contents and be teleported to the depths of forests, mountains and bridges. Never say the Faery Realm didn't move with the times; now, they content themselves with accidentally breaking a school's content filter every so often...

"The Rothschilds, and that class of money-lenders of whom they are the representatives and agents -- men who never think of lending a shilling to their next-door neighbors, for purposes of honest industry, unless upon the most ample security, and at the highest rate of interest -- stand ready, at all times, to lend money in unlimited amounts to those robbers and murderers, who call themselves governments, to be expended in shooting down those who do not submit quietly to being robbed and enslaved." by: Lysander Spooner

These people are clueless. They have another puppet on the way. The so called plan B. Just watch, in the coming months a man who has spent a considerable amount of time in the west will surge in popularity. "A voice for the moderates, a voice for Egypt."

It's still quite amazing how far Obama has fallen. Remember 2008? Hope and change, with the whole world behind him?

Now he's getting shat on in South Africa, Egypt, Turkey, China and even Europe is (supposedly) angry as hell thanks to the Snowden debacle.

Will the Obama administration be remembered for a complete reversal of world public opinion on the United States?

It's just the two of us here and we've been discussing this for a while.

I suppose we'll miss some of the sports for a while...but who cares. That's not that great either and the rest of it is pure, solid trash.

I'm going to teach my better half to play the guitar in lieu of watching their non-sense. Maybe even a ukelele.

Believe it or not...it took me an hour to cancel them both. I refused to end either call without a confirmation number; something their representatives were loath to provide.

Funny how you can press a button on the remote and buy almost anything under the sun...but try to cancel...woooo....different story.
