US Congressional Expert Witness Testimony: Bitcoin Being Solicited Over Postal Service
Forbes reports that expert testimony given in September 2018 to the House Financial Services Committee by Oren Segal, director of the Anti-Defamation League Center on Extremism included:
However, some Bitcoin electronic payment processors aren’t willing to lend their services to white supremacists so the Daily Stormer website has Bitcoin donations mailed to its post office box, the same as any donations by cash, check or money order (archived)
US Appeals Court Rules Unauthenticated Web Page Archives Now Evidence
The US Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York has ruled that the unauthenticated web page snapshots on archive.org1 may be entered as legal evidence (archived). This is in spite of the myriad of mischief surrounding the service, in particular archive.org's active "curation" and in general the unreliability most "Internet Archivers" have when it comes to taking aomplete and faithful snapshots with many servers sending different content to archiving services than they send to other web browsers.

Racist South African Farm Thieves To Stick Victims With Mortgages While IMF Endorses Plan
The latest development in the saga of South Africa's racially motivated land thefts is a measure that would keep victims on the hook for loans taken out for the properties stolen from them (archived). This move comes after the IMF ended August saying they are cool with whatever South Africa does as long as they do it in a "rules based" manner (archived).
New York 'Jewtropolis' Name Live On SnapChat, Zillow, Other Sites Briefly
Mapbox fed data rightfully labeling New York City 'Jewtropolis' to a number of online services including teen sexting app Snapchat and real estate advertising platform Zillow (archived). Mapbox takes crowdsourced and public mapping data then repackages it as a subscription service for internet services that don't mind New York occasionally being called 'Jewtropolis'.
California Ends Cash Bail Consigning All To Merciless Rubric
California governor Jerry Brown ended today by signing a law which would end the practice of cash bail for arrested persons in California. Instead localities in California will be burdened with establishing agencies responsible for producing "risk assessments" and depending on the outcomes of the assesments, those committees would produce potential non-monetary conditions of release for "low-risk" offenders. Whether the accused has skin to put in the game and bet on their innocence with bail, California has chosen instead to surrender to tyrany of the community.
Divided Western Church Turns On Argentine Pope Over Child Molesting Forgiver Forgiveness
Numerous media outlets over the weekend began making a scandal out of Pope Francis's (Jesuit from Argentina) habit of extending mercy to high ranking officials of the Roman Church who themselves showed mercy to child molesters in their charge. Muted forms of this accusation have plagued Popes since the 1990's, but Francis finds himself in a vulnerable position after himself molesting the Roman Church and injecting it with more new poz than it has seen since the Vatican II debacle.
While it is too soon to predict an early end to the Argentine one-lunged wonder's papacy, this is the first time the mainstream pozz'd press has been pushed to criticize the man they once dubbed "Cool Pope" for his embrace of cultural marxism.
San Francisco To Pay Six Figure USD Compensation To Members Of Seperate Feces And Needle Clean Up Teams
In an attempt to address rampant street shitting and litter from intravenous drug use new San Francisco Mayor London Breed has approved hiring separate cleanup crew to address the problems (archived). Six new poop patrollers and ten needle pickers will be joining an existing crew of four needle pickers in an attempt to cover the city's 121.4 square kilometers. The specialist natures of the cleaning crews raises serious questions of the cost necessary to expand cleanliness to the whole city, especially when contrasted to other Western hemisphere cities like Montevideo which utilizes scheduled crews cleaning all types of messes to sweep Montevideo's 201 square kilometers while deep cultural pressures prevent the adoption of a street shitting norm.
"Reality Winner" Gets 63 Month Prison Stay As Prize For Poor Leaking Hygiene
Reality Winner, a former NSA contract worker who made the mistake of leaking to Omidyar and Greenwald's honey trap The Intercept, has been sentenced to 63 months in prison after pleaing guilty. Reality Winner was identified through "anti-counterfeiting dots" which were helpfully preserved by The Intercept when they published pdf scans of the printed secrets she delivered to them.
Reality Winner will be spending her incarceration at Federal Medical Center, Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas at her own request. The length of the sentence is anomalously long for an unauthorized disclosure case. This demonstrates once again that a guilty plea is not a bargain.
Intel Adds "Anti Benchmarking" Clause To Licenses For Microcode Updates
Intel has begun attaching a license clause prohibiting comparative benchmarking to its CPU microcode updates (archived). Intel has spent the past year deluged with reports of critical flaws in their CPUs related to speed optimizations which fundamentally compromise the ability of their chips to be secure, especially in multi user systems. This fumbling by Intel to supress comparative benchmarks between patched and unpatched chips is only their latest attempt to paper over how much of their chips' fradulent speed advantage is lost with anything resembling effective mitigations1 for these engineered holes.
Note: It should be assumed these patches are not effective mitigations. ↩
