"...it's goes to show the importance of online anonymity when airing your views."
I believe my use of pseudonymous means of posting throughout my life has not only kept me alive, but my children.
John Yee, legal counsel to Bush lite, wrote that the President had the lawful authority to crush the testicles of a child to interrogate the parents. Seymour Hersch, who broke the Abu Ghraib story, said 'The worst thing was the screams of the children being raped while their parents were being interrogated.' He was privy to much more information that was prevented from becoming public by the criminal conspirators that committed such predations in their quest for power.
When such criminal means are used to rule, there can be no justice, only power.
Redundant layers of pseudonymity don't hide me from evil racketeers, they hide the testicles of my children.
Yep, they unleashed the forces of evil when they enabled the patriot act. As soon as they run out of enemies they'll turn on their own, I wouldn't want to be an American citizen when that happens and it WILL happen.
Himmler and Heydrich would thrive perfectly well in the system that have and continue to set up, it's horrendous.
These principles aren't limited to the US. The methods and powers are ubiquitous, wherever blackmail and surveillance are possible - and I submit there is no place they are not - this is happening.
This is globalism.
We can't vote with our feet. We must vote with our wallets, by funding mechanisms that make it impossible to conduct secret surveillance. The only thing necessary to end all this abuse is to make it public.
Blockchain FTW!
