Bari Weiss would've of course worked for CBS without buying out her website, but the oligarch class wants to reward her for her years of service to their cause including her time as an infiltrator destroying the New York Times from the inside.

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

He wasn't a nobody, May, and John Gilmore founded the cypherpunk movement. John Gilmore is a co-founder of EFF. Now many in orgs like EFF, like John Perry Barlow and others were firmly pro-democracy. But they shared a deep distrust of government. 5/

OK, by this logic...the surveillance of every facet of life--from comms to movement to social relationships to etc--which has become the norm over the last decades c/o the surveillance biz model, makes LE surveillance MORE possible than it's ever been in history. But somehow e2ee is the problem?

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU. Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

Doocy: "Which would be the greatest threat to the U.S. homeland, China, Russia, or Antifa?" Hegseth: "Well, depends on where you are...Ultimately, we're going to defend the homeland first...Defending the homeland is first and foremost."

This is like Putin shirtless on horseback.

Somehow that would be less embarrassing

They cant take it away from Americans without taking it away from immigrants.

Because that would involve acknowledging that they're human beings, and the Republicans can't have that.
