Just hope this "crackdown" does not stop the revolution which is happening in less than honest regimes. Its allowed people a store of currency which cannot be infringed, its more valuable than the scams and volatility that plague it.
Absque argento omnia vana
-and it was a poor substitute for using that effort to actually engage with and reform the institutions
Well said. Its amazing that the IC has lagged behind on this and not made sufficient efforts to regain the publics trust.
-the only thing left to do is shrug and become a cypherpunk maximalist. Life is too short. Might as well ride this civilization into the ground.
This is the saddest story ever monitored. Many share that sentiment and has for decades.
Eternal Vigilance Is the Price of Liberty.
Once said by a brave abolitionist.
That would require integrity and honesty, something fame rarely allows for. But I agree, but I would refrain from asking Kanye to voice his concerns at this particular issue at this particular point in time.
Nobody deserves all that fuckery.
Interesting read.
white people holding on to their money and power instead of working on ways to distribute it.
Why is the emphasis on white people and not wealth? There are so many different historical groups of "white people"
I completely fail to take a submissive approach to the whole us race debate. Sure you guys have massive issues that stem from a long line of segregationist policies. Europe has its problems, but implying that this should lead to some sort of White only redistribution of wealth will lead to bloodshed.
Who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to equate class war with race war? Henry kissinger?
Baraitser then capped it all by saying the February hearing will be held, not at the comparatively open and accessible Westminster Magistrates Court where we were, but at Belmarsh Magistrates Court, the grim high security facility used for preliminary legal processing of terrorists, attached to the maximum security prison where Assange is being held. There are only six seats for the public in even the largest court at Belmarsh, and the object is plainly to evade public scrutiny and make sure that Baraitser is not exposed in pulic again again to a genuine account of her proceedings, like this one you are reading. I will probably be unable to get in to the substantive hearing at Belmarsh.
Its perverse
Following the WikiLeaks story from its early days until today leave me incredibly demoralized and to be frank, angry. If I where to list the amount of injustices WikiLeaks and those who have associated with them have suffered, I would sit here all night, and I strongly suspect that is by intelligent design.
This story, if the end of it is as it seems, it will mark a shift in the perceived ideals of the "free world".
WL partnered with journalists from all the world. Questioning if he himself is a journalist is rather dishonest considering he thinks himself one and he is responsible for millions of informative, ground-breaking articles written worldwide.
The Australian Journalist should not be concerned about precedent set in a US court against a US citizen.
Don't kill the messenger.
But he did do that? Wikileaks partnered with media houses from all over the world, part of that process included the joint dissemination and "limitation of harm" by censoring names in the field.
The matpakke never changes
