So the casino of deregulated finance, bringing Earth to its doom while increasing inequalities… was actually started by mafia hand in hand with CIA, and institutionalized by the politicians who enabled them, uh?

fascinating…


Isn’t “I made money and here is how you can make money too” (one of) the base(s) of any ponzi scheme?


thanks for admitting it. speaks volumes about your intelligence! <3


speaking of the Atlantic, read this article:

https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/07/us-cant-connect-single-death-bradley-mannings-leaks/312643/

you’ve been mislead in thinking WikiLeaks releases harmed anyone. the US army harmed the people of Afghanistan, and that’s what this story is about.


1/ journalists do that ALL THE TIME. you protect your source but you are not prevented from asking for more documents

2/ he didnt help escalate anythig. She gave him a hash and he never replied about whether or not it got cracked to anything

3/ it wasn’t even privilege escalation, but allegedly to mask traces, to login from another user. so it would have amounted to helping a source protect herself, if it had been done.

“no qualms” for a journalist facing extradition in a country he is not even a citizen of, for “espionnage”, for revealing war crimes… i wonder what you then have “qualms” about…


You may have got a couple of facts wrong:

https://www.laprogressive.com/the-media-in-the-united-states/wrong-about-assange

"Wikileaks had hundreds of thousands of documents it had gotten from Manning – the war logs and State Department cables — for a considerable period in 2010 and went to “extraordinary lengths to publish them in a responsible and redacted manner,” the submissions to a lower U.K. court said. WikiLeaks held back information while it formed media partnerships with news organizations such as The Guardian, The New York Times and DER SPIEGEL to manage the release of the material. Assange’s legal team cited named witnesses, various journalists who worked with Assange on the process. Those witnesses testified to the rigor of the redaction effort.

The media partners’ work on the Afghan war logs included approaching the White House before releasing them. In July 2010, Wikileaks also entered dialogue with the White House about redacting names. On July 25, 2010, WikiLeaks held back publication of 15,000 documents on Afghanistan to safeguard its “harm minimization process” even after its media partners published stories.

Redaction of the Iraq War diaries was likewise “painstakingly approached” and involved the development of special redaction software. Publication was delayed in August 2010 despite this annoying some media partners because Assange didn’t want to rush.

Un-redacted publication of the State Department cables in September 2011 was undertaken by parties unconnected to WikiLeaks, and despite WikiLeaks’ efforts to prevent it, the legal submissions state. Those who revealed un-redacted cables have never been prosecuted nor requested to remove them from the internet.

[Ed.: John Young, founder of Cryptome, testified at Assange’s hearing that he published the unredacted cables before WikiLeaks but was never questioned by police. The password to the unredacted cables was published by Guardian journalists Luke Harding and David Leigh before Cryptome did.]"


The names that were in the warlogs were classified as “confidential” not “secret” or “top secret”. they were in SIPRnet where millions of ppl had access to it. If anyone endangered their sources, translators etc. it’s the US army itself.

  • during Manning’s court martial, US officials (a general if i recall) testified under oath that they couldnt’ link one death to the publication.

It’s pure propaganda to say that Assange “endangered people” when he helped reveal the most important trove of documents that actually helped shift public opinion (and therefore slowing down) this war; while at the same time the US was killing and displacing 100.000s.

(+ it’s true that by helping the US army, those informants, sources, translators etc… were already taking a risk in a coutry at war…)





A British judge has ordered the extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the United States, where he faces a 175-year sentence. The final decision on Assange’s extradition will now be made by U.K. Home Secretary Priti Patel. Amnesty International’s Simon Crowther spoke outside the courthouse prior to today’s ruling. Simon Crowther: “Julian Assange is being prosecuted for espionage for publishing sensitive material that was classified. And if he is extradited to the U.S. for this, all journalists around the world are going to have to look over their shoulder, because within their own jurisdiction, if they publish something that the U.S. considers to be classified, they will face the risk of being extradited.”

oh my. it was that simple?! thanks for the tip!!

i guess different themes make it more or less explicit… but still i have little excuse!1

thanks again!! <3


you mean “settings” / “blocks” / “Block community”?

This menu only displays: “- |”

to me…


or to “mute” a community, ie. not see anything from it displayed in your “ALL” timelines


Mobilizon is free/libre software and publishes through the Fediverse


because this furiously sounds like some transhumanist bullshit.

transhumanism as a prolongation of the rich elite’s desire to last forever, and their will to invest their appropriated resources into themselves, erecting fear of death as a valid investment target, making it a priority over all the problems the Earth and most people on it are facing because of them and their greed…

transhumanism should be opposed, at least for as long as we haven’t solved climate emergency…


Great! What the World needs right now is rich Humans living forever! Is totally gonna make things better, for real!


yes, and for the same reason, when someone says “America” i always ask them: “do you mean South America, Central or North-America?” and they usually go “oh sorry yeah i meant the United States”.

Because langage matters and also brings about colonial notions…

“linux” like “open source” is our freedoms being colonized by the business/“pragmatic” crowd…


have been daily-driving it for a while now and i adore how much control one has over it. terminal and ssh are first-class citizens. a true hacker’s interface <3



UK Supreme Court refuses permission to appeal in Assange extradition. The case now moves to UK Home Secretary Priti Patel to authorize the extradition. WikiLeaks editor and publisher Julian Assange is facing a 175 year sentence for publishing truthful information in the public interest. Julian Assange is being sought by the current US administration for publishing US government documents which exposed war crimes and human rights abuses. The politically motivated charges represent an unprecedented attack on press freedom and the public’s right to know – seeking to criminalise basic journalistic activity. If convicted Julian Assange faces a sentence of 175 years, likely to be spent in extreme isolation. The UN working group on arbitrary detention issued a statement saying that “*the right of Mr. Assange to personal liberty should be restored”*. Massimo Moratti of Amnesty International has publicly stated on their website that, *“Were Julian Assange to be extradited or subjected to any other transfer to the USA, Britain would be in breach of its obligations under international law.*” Human Rights Watch published an article saying, “*The only thing standing between an Assange prosecution and a major threat to global media freedom is Britain. It is urgent that it defend the principles at risk.”* The NUJ has stated that the *“US charges against Assange pose a huge threat, one that could criminalise the critical work of investigative journalists &amp; their ability to protect their sources”.*

Ola Bini's trial today in Ecuador is a farce. Based on a screenshot (showing he actually DIDNT do what he is accused of) and a number of books and computer hardware, "fraudulent access" to computers that was never even described. He was arrested the same day as his friend Julian Assange. When arrested he was developping OTRv4, encryption technology to use on top of decentralized/federated messaging. read more on Article19: https://www.article19.org/resources/ecuador-swedish-activist-ola-bini-tried-after-a-long-wait/ His persecution concerns everyone attached to end-to-end encryption, free/libre software and decentralized/federated software... #FreeOlaBini
