Suspected Islamist Shoots Up Florida Gay Bar

Posted on by

A man the FBI claims has possible leanings towards supporting Islamist causes shot up the gay bar "Pulse" in Orlando, Florida during the early hours of the morning (archived). An off duty police officer working security at the club reportedly exchanged gunfire with the man before a hostage situation developed. Police eventually conducted a "controlled explosion" before shooting the man dead. A variety of media sources are consistently reporting 20 deaths and 42 injuries UPDATE1: 50 deaths and 53 injuries in the event though no distinction has yet been made between casualties inflicted by the suspect and those taken by law enforcement in the crossfire.

Back in December of 2015 aspiring martyrs Syed Farook (WOT:nonperson) and Tashfeen Malik (WOT:nonperson) killed 14 and injured 22 at a facility that provides services for the developementally disabled in San Bernadino before getting themselves killed during their failed getaway. The San Bernadino event lead to the FBI and Apple circlejerking around an iPhone.

It is too early to tell what "rights" this latest media hysteria is going to push for taking away, but the likelyhood of Hussein Bahamas making at least one last big push to take your Guns, your God, and your Freedom is not out of the picture. Another likely side effect of this following so close in time to the San Bernadino attack and similar attacks in Europe is Autistic teen and twenty something white males losing the "most feared demographic in America" title acquired over two decades of school, mall, and theater shootings. Sorry for your loss.

Update 2: The shooter has been identified as Omar Mateen (WOT:nonperson). Mateen allegedly work as a security guard with clients that included USG assets.

Gawker Media Files Bankruptcy Papers And Goes On Auction Block

Posted on by

Gawker Media Group has filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection and has begun to auction its business with Ziff Davis1 opening the bidding. Assests are officially estimated2 to be in the 5o million to 100 million United States dollar range while liabilities are estimated to be in the 100 to 500 million United States dollar range. Gawker Media and certain affiliated persons owe 140.1 million United States dollars after losing a court case involving their public humiliation of the private person Terry Bollea (WOT:nonperson), a man who plays a character named "Hulk Hogan" (WOT:nonperson, also fictional character) on television. Proceeds from the sale will reportedly be used to promote this confusion in front of appellate courts following its failure during the trial. The filing of the lawsuit put founder Nick Denton's (WOT:nonperson) control of Gawker media on precarious footing and he ended up surrendering authority to various committees as his blogspam writers unionized. During its run under Nick Denton's management Gawker Media alienated any actual writers they managed to employ while working to normalize endemic morbid obesity with pro-Transmayo propaganda. Whoever acquires Gawker Media at auction will be burdened with a web "property" attached to a workforce protected by a Union contract. Sorry for you loss.

T Ascendant!

Posted on by

I (wot:mod6) deployed an IRC implementation of "T" – a ticketing system (descending from a command line version published earlier last month) for projects originating from The Bitcoin Foundation and The Most Serene Republic (TMSR~).

Since the Founding of The Bitcoin Foundation and for many years previous; The Republic has tracked proposals of all forms through logging of the assembly chamber, #trilema.

Throughout these many months it has become increasingly difficult to track all of these items. The Republic has been in need of a means to track them all.

With the deployment of tb0t (WOT:tb0t), Bitcoin Lords may now leverage this system to track their projects, corresponding work, and related tasks. This is important for a variety of reasons: tickets can be described in detail and isolation; avert archaeological digs; connect together in Antecedent/Dependent relationships; graph directionally, and viewed on The Foundation website; projects rendered and viewed as a whole broad visionary scope.

Viva La Serenissima!

Posted on by

Sorry for your loss hit Dallas Cowboys running back Darren McFadden (WOT:nonperson) this week, as it was revealed that his longtime business manager Michael Vick1 (WOT:nonperson) was responsible for mishandling 15 million dollars entrusted to him, with 3 million being used to fund an unknown Bitcoin venture. A lawsuit filed against Mr. Vick and 10 John Does alleges that

Rather than securing for Plaintiff a lifetime of financial security as Defendant Vick promised Plaintiff, Defendant Vick covertly used Plaintiff's income as his personal slush fund to subsidize his own lifestyle and expenses and to invest in his own projects

McFadden have given Vick, a former family friend, power of attorney to assist him with financial choices in August of 2008. The schemes were uncovered when Vick attempted to sell a building to McFadden that had already been purchased with his own money.

Peace Trove Being Indexed To Accounts On Unhacked Sites

Posted on by

The social media password dumps of Myspace, LinkedIN, and possibly others that were brought to public light by Peace are now being indexed and packaged1 to identify vulnerable accounts on other platforms. The war on the web has been simmering since the web went to shit soon after its birth. The work of Peace is forcing social media and web forum users to muster all of the earnestness at their command and confront the hard reality of their assorted user accounts actually not conveying any identity at all. Many have tried to find an easier softer way than the WoT, but they could not. Him in our time.

Oklahomos Test Literal Due Process Circumvention Device For Electronic Seizures

Posted on by

The Oklahoma State Patrol1 (WOT:nonpeople) is now testing a new device that is sure to set the standard for "law enforcement" officers that wish to quickly steal citizens funds without the hassle of due process. The Electronic Recovery and Access to Data machine, or ERAD for short, allows officers to scan any credit or debit cards of individuals suspected of criminal activity and seize any funds contained on them. Before the cards presented a mystery to officers who had to wonder how much their victim could pull out the an ATM with their debit card. A copy of the work contract with the state shows that they are paying a price of $5000 for the scanners and associated software, an expense which is surely to be quickly recouped within days.

Bitcoin Difficulty Dials Back 1.63%

Posted on by

In its march to cross 2 trillion Bitcoin network difficulty has decreased by 1.63 percent from 199312067531.24301147 to 196061423939.64996338 during its latest adjustment. The next mining subsidy halving is still on schedule with all of the chaos that entails. Expect anything,1 but it is likely that weaker miners will continue getting squeezed out with only small temporary dips in network hashrate. Weakening fiat markets in China and the fresh constraint on new coin market entry are likely to lead the way at fiat/Bitcoin interfaces with the weaker and more fraudulent fiat/Bitcoin interfaces potentially getting squeezed as well in the manner of Mt Gox. Sorry for your loss.

  1. Due to the likelihood of intensified fraud on the fiat side all manner of short term trends are possible.  ↩

Rural Police Recapture Funds Liberated In Social Engineering Coup

Posted on by

Officials in Platte County, MO announced they have recovered $28,205 of $48,200 they lost due to a county treasurer falling victim to a social engineering attack delivered via spoofed emails. Rob Willard, the treasurer, said he made a wire transfer in the amount of $48,000 after receiving an email from someone pretending to be Presiding Commissioner Ron Schieber, in order to pay for a tax consultant. Upon realizing he had been duped, Mr. Willard alerted the Feebs and the fraud department of Wells-Fargo who are still investigating and have not yet found the source of the fraudulent emails. The individuals responsible are believed to have liberated several other counties in Missouri and Kansas of funds as well.
