If we just have the collective nuts to fire our guns when it mattered.

Look at the occupy movements.  If about 10,000 would have shown up armed and actually killed some of these CEO's then that would have made a difference.  We have been brainwashed into the idea that marching and carrying signs, or even showing up to vote will make a difference.  These billionaires and politicians use brute force when they feel threatened, so they need to be confronted with brute force.  You think if some fuck laid off a thousand employees then gave themselves a pay raise, then had themselves or family member killed, that they would repeat it again?  I think you would have people behaving more responsibly, or ready to die for money that they didn't need anyway.

Remember, our framer of our constitution, Thomas Jefferson said that we need a revolution ever 20 years to preserve our form of democracy, yet we haven't had another.

Those who are willing to sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither!

Why don't you move to North Korea if you like communism so much.

Guy certainly has some mental issues, and given that he solicited for a child to be abducted he probably is not just fantasizer. There is actually some evidence that people with the sickest fantasies are the least likely to act on them, and there are several examples of cases sort of similar to this where people were discussing very sick shit as well, and even talking about things they had done like this, and it turned out that none of them had actually done shit and it was all fantasy. That is actually a pretty common theme with the most sick sounding people, the people who say they butchered and ate kids are very unlikely to actually have done so. Of course, if they actually solicit for a kid to be kidnapped and butchered etc, it might be a different story. I don't know, I don't justify what this guy did at all, but it is true that they find the most sick sounding people are often in fantasy and not actually planning to do things. But at the same time once he solicited a child to be kidnapped, he crossed the line as a child could really be kidnapped at his request.

This guy is a bit extreme too, he actually built a dungeon and solicited someone to kidnap a child for him, so in his case it was probably not just fantasy, which is extremely disturbing. Pretty fucking disturbed individual without doubt, and that CP they were trading sounds like the worst ever. Even most of the extreme CP would not reach that level, it is not at all common and what they had is pretty certainly the worst of the worst.

I think this is probably linked to the Violent Desires hidden service that got taken down by the Dutch police. I think it was considered the worst of all of the CP sites ever to exist, in terms of the violence depicted and the conversations of the people. I think this was first Tor hidden service related to CP to be busted, with pedoforum after it and then all the FH ones. Violent Desires was probably the worst of all.

Really this guy obviously deserves to go to jail for the rest of his life considering he solicited help in abducting a child. I am shocked they are only trying to get him 27 years! He almost certainly had enough CP to get a life sentence, since every picture can be its own charge, and any jury would put this guy away. But I still do not think it is the pictures he had that should put him away, but his solicitation of a child. It is hard to argue for the freedom of people to look at such images, they are the worst images you could imagine. People looking at jailbait it doesn't bother me at all (nor would it bother me in many cases if they actually had sex with young teenagers), even people looking at a lot of younger CP doesn't really bother me (though they should not have sex with young children). CP like this actually causes an emotional reaction in me, and I have to wonder if somebody is into this are they really sane enough to be trusted outside of prison? But I still look past this emotional response, and use my sense of morality and logic. A picture of a severely abused child is not a severely abused child, many people who are into such images can keep their fantasies compartmentalized, there is no proof that people looking at such pictures causes children to be harmed, and it is magical thinking to think that viewing the picture causes the depicted child to be harmed again. I still do not think such image should be censored, because we need to have freedom of information we cannot have censorship no matter how disturbing the things some people enjoy looking at are. The same reason why I think it should be legal to look at jailbait or look at holocaust picture it holds for all information, and I cannot let an emotional feeling blind me to the immorality of censorship and prevent me from thinking in a rational way.

Part of me can see the difference between someone who looks at an image like these guys were looking at and the people looking at other types of legal/illegal porn. Maybe something is much more wrong with this person than is wrong with someone who looks at softcore CP or jailbait, or even hardcore CP but not to such a totally extreme degree that it becomes cannibalistic snuff child porn. I am not sure. But maybe still people cannot control what they find sexually attractive, but can control themselves. Maybe these guys would have murdered a kid and ate the kid, but instead viewed images? I don't know. I do think it is fucked up FH admin going to prison for 100 years for hosting CP sites, and this guy is only facing under 30 years for trying to get somebody to kidnap a kid for him to eat. I think it is fucked up that CP laws put a person who looks at naked 15 year olds, something that is not really even an abnormal desire, in the same category as someone who looks at pictures of dead kids being cut into slabs of meat. But that is just at an emotional level. At a logical level, there is still a voice in my head telling me a picture is a picture, a picture of severe child abuse is not severe child abuse, a fantasy is not an action. But this person took it beyond a fantasy when he tried to get someone to kidnap a kid. So why is he only going to prison 27 years, when FH admin only hosted a site and did not try to get a child kidnapped to be murdered and eaten, and FH admin faces 100 years?

This is the result of the emotional thinking, illogical laws. A person who solicits for a child to be killed so he can eat the child faces less time in prison than a person who hosted 1,000,000 or so CP images, because in the eyes of the emotional people the person who let 1000 people see 1,000,000 images of child abuse abused a child 1,000,000,000 times, and the person who tried to get a child to eat only planned to abuse one.

Quote
Thomson Reuters has teamed up with the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) to form the Digital Economy Task Force, which aims to address some of the risks surrounding digital currencies and the wider digital economy.

"This is a complex issue," said Ernie Allen, president and CEO of ICMEC. "Technology has created a new digital economy, which is being used by some to produce and sell child pornography, and for trafficking and child exploitation. This is a serious problem that requires serious solutions. Our task force will offer balanced, effective solutions for policy makers, law enforcement, regulators and the public."

The Task Force, which launched in August, is not solely focussed on child exploitation. It has developed working groups that aim to combat a range of illicit activities, to safeguard human rights and to encourage inter-agency coordination and law enforcement. It was launched off the back of a report by Thomson Reuters Fraud Prevention and Investigation unit about digital currency laundering.

The report detailed how criminal and terrorist organisations have turned to digital currency to reap profits from drug trafficking, prostitution and the dissemination of child abuse images.

Steve Rubley, managing director, Government Segment for the Legal business of Thomson Reuters points out that the digital economy provides a plethora of new opportunities and is central to how business is conducted but there are also "dark corners" where drug cartels can easily launder money and human sex traffickers operate in near obscurity.

The Task Force will include the Bitcoin Foundation, The Tor Project, Trend Micro, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Cato Institute, The Brookings Institute, the US Agency for International Development and Vital Voices. The group will educate the public and work collaboratively across stakeholder groups including government agencies, law enforcement, academia, NGOs and industry.

A statement released by Thomson Reuters and ICMEC said: "The approach will be a balanced view of both the advantages and disadvantages surrounding the digital economy -- a place where people can enjoy the convenience of digital currencies, but where there are controls in place to regulate them like any other form of money."

The Digital Economy Task Force will produce a report in February 2014 which will aim to inform lawmakers globally about the current state of the digital economy and help people understand the risks associated with it.

« on: September 13, 2013, 11:49 am »
there r 1.5 million new tor users and most all nodes etc.

They are only clients, not nodes. If ti were nodes the Tor network would be faster, not slower/broken.

idk would tor be faster if they were on completely messed up and infected win xp boxes - i read they were nodes.
all of the info is under a week or longer and might be wrong but i trust the site i got the info from.
granted some of this is speculation as is everything but i choose to err on the side of caution.

took me a whole 1 min to download the new beta and set it up on an encrypted usb.
anywho dont run that as superuser.

No need to speculate, look at the node list. They are not nodes.

To understand why this is a good thing you need to study history. Humans have risen to their predominant position on this planet by being the most organised ruthless violent apes ever seen. Our history is a gigantic mound of smashed skulls and enslaved women and children.

Mostly done by states. Two bomb attacks by the US government killed 185,000 people, including women and children. Nazi Germany killed in the holocaust alone 17,000,000 people. What about the genocide in Bosnia, the state killed over 100,000 people. Oh yeah what about the USSR under Stalin they killed over 10,000,000 people. I could go on and on. Enslaved women and children, mass murders, almost all of these events are carried out by the state. So I think maybe you need to study history to see why it IS NOT good for the state to have a monopoly on violence! Your claim is so absurd as to be hilarious!

Quote
Slowly we have brought this violence under some limited control. Every one of is still the great great great great great great...........great descendent of the people who were successful at violently out competing their fellows. But we have brought our impulses to use violence to resolve disputes under control. It is still there, for when other means fail.

Sure, people have a desire to use violence to solve disputes. But instead, we should let libertarians resolve disputes, because they respect freedom totally. So, we should have libertarians gain the ability to exert the most violence, because they will use it in the way that is best for humanity and in the way that the least number of innocents will be hurt. Indeed, they will prevent innocents from being hurt by using violence against those who are not innocent! And so you just gave a great example of why Totalibertarians need to come into power, and why we need the Worlds Totalibertarian Liberation Army to become the force with the most ability to use violence in the world.

Quote
The states monopoly on violence is part of this. With a strong central state offering dispute resolution (begun in England by Henry II and his concept of the Kings Peace, the birth of the common law, which judges did not decree but discover from the customs of their predecessors) it became less and less necessary for individualk to resort to violence to settle disputes.

The states monopoly on violence has led to over a hundred million deaths just in modern times. You sound like a total fool to advocate that the state must maintain a monopoly on violence for the good of the community. Uhm, no, Totalibertarians must gain a monopoly on violence for the good of the world!

Quote
The culture of honour, where men were socially expected to avenge any slight with violence, was usually found in areas where no central authority existed, or was weak or distant. A man had not only better be willing to use violence, but demonstrably so, if he wished his rights to be respected. Once strong central government was established in these areas, the duelling culture would dwindle, although men from these areas may still have a much quicker ear for a perceived insult.

Totalibertarians say people can duel if they both consent to it, and do not put others in harms way. There is nothing wrong with two people agreeing to fight to the death. Even the bloods and the crips can have all out gang warfare, so long as they all consent to it and do it in such a way that there is no risk of others being hurt.

Quote
And so we see that the threat of violence lurks behind every human interaction. It is not confined to the collection if taxes.
the model of dispute resolution libertarians often propose, where one partys defence insurance agency negotiates with the other oarty s defence agency, will only work if both defence agency maintain the threat of the use of force

Sure sure, we NEED libertarians to have the ability to use force. Libertarians need to be the most powerful group in the world, so that we can keep everybody else in check to prevent them from violating the rights of others.

Quote
Negotiation is always preferable, but the men with guns are always going to be there in the background.
Have you ever seen those you tube videos where protestors of one feather or another are filming 'police violence' shrieking with middle class outrage "they are using force against us!"  Yes my dread locked patchouli wearing friend. That is what the police are for.

Sure negotiation is preferable, but if people can not agree to do this, we need libertarians to step in and enforce libertarianism. Police use extreme degrees of violence against innocent people. A cop who beats someone up and puts him in prison for using drugs, should be shot through the head. A cop who arrests someone for using drugs should himself be shot through the head. He is a kidnapper, an armed robber, a terrorist. We need to exterminate people like this, or at least go to war with them until we take them completely out of power. Even after they are out of power we need to try all of them for war crimes, and many will likely be hung or executed by firing squad. 

Quote
Those who protest against the state monopoly on violence: do you really think a free market in violence would be better? Shall we all have to carry weapons and demonstrate our willingness to use them for our rights to be respected (oh. Yes. That sounds good to you doesn't it. Forgot who I was talking to for a second)

There should not be a free market in violence. There should be a Totalibertarian dictatorship that keeps a perfect monopoly on violence. Other agencies can act in our name, but if they stray from Totalibertarianism then we will use violence against them as well.

Quote
200 years ago all men wore swords constantly. (Obviously only gentlemen. The poor folk did as they were fucking well told, or got a quick lesson in dispute resolution). Was this a freer society?

In some ways it was freer. But I do not say we should go back to the past, I say we should go to the future, and the future must be Totalibertarian.

we have millions of people in prison where we can make them work for next to nothing! Problem solved! Yay Communism!

If it's Communist to imprison a racial demographic and force them to labour, then Adolf was a Communist.

It is communist to imprison people for the sole purpose of creating jobs, especially when the jobs are funded by taxes. The slaves are just a nice by product for them, just like the slaves of the USSR.

There were plenty of techies who criticized Auernheimer and said he was getting his due. But the debate over his case was larger than anything that has ever occurred regarding internet harassment. That wasn’t lost on the women who have been threatened with rape and death while online. What it came down to for them was that a man who threatens women can generate more concern within the tech industry than female victims of abuse.

This is why I don't like emotional people very much. Weev did not generate concern in the tech industry. That some person who happened to be weev was being prosecuted for some bullshit hacking charge is what caused concern in the tech industry. That person just happened to be Weev. Also, although it is fucked up he spammed this womans information, 90% of what he does is just trolling for attention. He is really not that bad of a guy in my experience. He might say crazy outlandish shit fairly regularly, but if you take it personally (which you will because you are super emotional), then you are just bothering yourself. Seriously, Hitler himself could have been charged with hacking in this case, and the tech industry would be upset about it. It is the case that has people upset by the government, Weev is only related to it in that he is the one they charged.

"I have this beef with a lot of organizations, including EFF," Aurora said. "This is another case where they’re saying, ‘The cases we care about are the ones white men are interested in. We’re less interested in protecting women on the web.’"

Stupidest quote in the world. The reason we want to Free Weev is not because he is a white man, but because his "hacking" essentially consisted of changing his browsers user agent and hitting refresh. It isn't his fault that the servers he was visiting were so fucking insecure that this allowed him to get an entire list of customer E-mail addresses. It would be like if I have a website that dumps its entire database to somebody using Firefox, and then say that everyone using Firefox hacked me. He should never have been charged with hacking for what he did. Also, when they were searching him for hacking crimes they happened to stumble on some 2c-b tabs and other drugs, which is another part of his charges. What does this woman think the EFF is going to do, fight against a bullshit hacking charge or protect her from a troll? They are not the Womans Defense Frontier, they are the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

This paper discusses the bandwidth and processing costs of a PSS algorithm


www.cs.berkeley.edu/~dawnsong/papers/stream-search.pdf

Right now the only missing piece of the puzzle is censorship resistance. I still have not found a way to allow a server to host content that it might itself be able to download, without it being able to remove the content from itself. I am not sure if it is even possible. Perhaps we will need to use multiple PSS servers and hope they do not all censor content, but this requires us to bring traffic analysis into more consideration. Anybody have any thoughts?

Quote
   Our system for private stream searching allows a
range of applications not previously practical. In par-
ticular, we have considered the case of conducting a
private search on essentially all news articles on the
web as they are generated, estimating this number to
be 135,000 articles per day. In order to establish the
private search, the client has a one time cost of ap-
proximately 10 MB to 100 MB in upload bandwidth,
based on various tradeoffs. Several times per day they
download about 500 KB to 7 MB of new search results,
allowing up to about 500 articles per time interval. Af-
ter receiving the encrypted results, the client spends
under a minute recovering the original files, or up to
about 15 minutes if many files were retrieved. This per-
formance would be typical of a desktop PC; a mobile
device would be capable of handling a somewhat less
demanding scenario. To provide the searching service,
the server keeps about 10 MB to 100 MB of storage for
the client and spends roughly 500 ms processing each
new article it encounters. These costs are comparable
to many free services currently available on the web
(e.g., email and webhosting), so it is likely the private
searching service could be provided for free. With high
probability, the client will successfully obtain all arti-
cles matching their query, and in any case the server
will remain provably oblivious to nature of their search.
   Most of the parameters of this scenario (e.g., the
number of distinct articles generated per day, the num-
ber of distinct words per file, the size of a file, etc.)
are probably less than one or two orders of magnitude
different than for the other online searching situations
mentioned in Section 1 (such as blog posts, USENET,
online auctions). We expect our techniques to be ap-
plicable to many of these searching applications. The
complete algorithms for the private searching scheme
are presented along with complexity analysis and for-
mal security proofs in [2].

1     Introduction
The past decade has seen growing interest in techniques for protecting critical data even in the face of catastrophic
storage failure. Recently, a number of loosely-related approaches have surfaced which guarantee data availability by
massively replicating records across decentralized, potentially untrusted, “survivable” storage networks. To ensure the
continued availability of content after storage nodes fail or leave the network, survivable storage networks continuously
re-distribute replicas from machine to machine. Ideally, content redistribution is provided as a service of the network,
and should not require the active participation of content publishers.
    Recently, Srivatsa et. al. [29] showed that a number of survivable storage systems (e.g, [20, 1]) are vulnerable to
targeted denial of service attacks, as these systems make no attempt to hide the location of content replicas within the
network. An adversary can locate selected file replicas via the network’s search mechanism, or by manually examining
stored collections for identical instances of a replica. Once located, the adversary can limit access to the selected files
(and defeat survivability) by disabling the small subset of storage nodes which host the target content.
    In this work, we propose techniques for correlation-resistant storage, which protect content replicas from tar-
geted attacks while allowing for continuous re-distribution by the storage network. The approach we describe allows
untrusted nodes to dynamically re-encrypt (i.e., randomize) file replicas such that an adversary cannot link the new
replicas to others within the system. Simultaneously, we provide a flexible search mechanism which allows authorized
receivers to locate any matching replica by querying storage nodes on information such as a keyword or other identifier.
We note that maintaining correlation-resistance while achieving this remote search facility is challenging when storage
nodes are untrusted, as one must prevent malicious nodes from re-using search queries to locate matching replicas at
other locations in the network. In that regard, the primary contribution of this paper is a new form of searchable public
key encryption scheme which allows for node-targeted keyword search, i.e., queries sent by users to a specific node
cannot be re-played by that node to locate files stored elsewhere. Our keyword search scheme is related to the schemes
of [12, 34], but enables randomization of indexes and is provably secure in the standard model.

I know. You have a point there. Why not ban all digging machinery for starters so that you can employ 1000 men with shovels instead of having 1 man operate that oppressive piece of machinery instead?  ::)

The communist/socialist desire for jobs is a major contributing factor to the war on drugs. How can we give hundreds of thousands of people with no skills and no intelligence jobs? Hmm, well we can put the most retarded of them in the police force and hire them as prison guards, and we can give the slightly more intelligent of them jobs in the social sciences as addiction therapists and such! Yay, jobs for hundreds of thousands of people, paid for by the taxes we extort from those evil rich people who probably got all of their money by whipping slaves in the cotton fields anyway, and plus we have millions of people in prison where we can make them work for next to nothing! Problem solved! Yay Communism! Oh and we can even say we are helping these poor saps by treating them of their horrible addictions! Hey, everybody also hates these guys looking at CP, why not make more jobs by doing the same thing to them! Plus we can pretend that we are actually helping children! Yay Communism! Yay Socialism! Jobs for all the retards!

I just cannot wait to see the next group of people that they turn into jobs for retards! Will it be blacks? Will it be people who smoke cigarettes? You never know in communism, even you could be made into jobs tomorrow! For the good of the community! It actually is helping people, I know because the television told me so!

Libertarianism is NOT pacifism! I am all for implementing libertarianism through force. Anybody who acts against libertarianism needs to have force used against them until they stop acting in such a way. There is nothing immoral with forcing libertarianism on the world, that is like saying it is immoral to force a person to not kill an innocent or immoral to force a thief to stop stealing. It is immoral to not use force to implement a libertarian world!
