The scandal is much deeper than it seems. But the crowd is drawing the wrong lessons.. Trump & his team actually used "TeleMessage", which was a modified version of Signal. And this modified "TeleMessage" was hacked and is insecure. [1] "404 Media reported at the weekend that TeleMessage had been hacked and that an unknown person had access to numerous chats, including from US authorities and the US Congress, NBC News has now learned of another intrusion" [2] HOWEVER, the MUCH DEEPER ISSUE, is that Trump did NOT bomb Iran. And the war-monger military industrial factions, and the Pro-Israel lobby, do want war with Iran. So they've somehow managed to make a huge deal out of this... In fact, TeleMessage is an Israeli company. It's quite possible they purposefully sabotaged it's security, to pressure or oust Trump into war with Iran. Sources: [1]

If you're NOT a Libertarian, Then go listen to Dave Smith. If you ARE a Libertarian, Then Dave Smith is Part of Problem. Because all podcasts like his do is keep you trapped in the "vote harder" mentality. Instead of learning tech, making an agora crypto-business, and doing something about the problem.

Ethereum was 4k Now it's 1.8k Who would have thought it could collapse, when the only useful app was leverage & borrowing DeFi money.

Monero spikes up 21%. Now $275 It was up to 300 earlier. Rumor is it's large stolen Bitcoin, being swapped for XMR, that caused the spike: https://xcancel.com/zachxbt/status/1916756932763046273 You might want to pay some bills, or buy a phone or email server from me now. DeGoogled Phones:

This picture portrays Michael Saylor and Peter Schiff as opposites, but that’s not true. They both view Bitcoin as purely an investment for price gain.

The problem is NOT the dictator It's the people who obey the dictator. Either directly, or even worse with their actions. If you're using Fiat, Gmail, SMS, Windows, and an iPhone... you're essentially fully compromised. Your tech and your mind.

Elon Musk is putting spy satellites in the sky These look down, and take close-up pictures, to centralize and gather data for the US-gov. But yet.. Within this context, some "privacy" tech influencers still only use Twitter. As they think that's where all the people are. But sometimes, still even that is not enough. The "Watchman Privacy" podcast is considering quitting, because he's not making enough money, promoting privacy services primarily on Twitter. Can he not only be talked out of quitting, but be convinced to adopt decentralized freedom alternatives? Today's podcast not only argues yes.. But in this short but sweet episode, you'll gain insight into a variety of tech decisions that can improve your own life as well,

Tor Browser ended OS "spoofing" The new update stops lying that your operating system was Windows, when it's really Linux. Ultimately to sum up their move in a single sentence, They are trying to avoid bots hazing users for clearweb use, at the expense of no-JS darknet buyers. IF you had Javascript ENABLED, then websites could have figured it out before. So this is NOT a big change. Because as I've been shouting from the rooftops, user-agent spoofing doesn't fool sophisticated scripts. And if you don't believe me, then Privacy-net has an analyzer to quickly prove OS spoofing doesn't work to you. Going forward, IF you DISABLE Javascript, then darknet sites will now be able to see you're on Linux. This is probably not that big a deal, but a minor point. As it reduces your anonymity set, but among Windows, Mac, and Linux. The official Tor team said quote: "Asymmetric user agent spoofing triggered anti-fraud and bot-detection scripts breaking websites without added privacy benefits" In the end though, "Anti-Fraud and Bot-detection scripts" are STILL going to give Tor Browser users a hard-time, since their IP address is known to be Tor, and they are blocking all kinds of other scripts in safer mode. But it shows the official team is slightly less interested in protecting darknet buyers. All of these anti-bot anti-fraud reasons are exactly what our fingerprint VPN system is designed to help you evade. Once again, I'm repeating that Tor Browser is a crappy daily driver for most services where you login. If it's just looking at text, okay. But if you're signing up, logging in, and using Javascript, then that's where Simplified Privacy's app shines. In hopefully under 2 weeks, we'll be doing a big upgrade fixing many things. Stay tuned.

The inequality isn't real 93% of the shares of the US stock market are owned by 10% of families, But.. They can't spend the money to consume. They can only buy real estate, stocks, or other investments. If they actually USE the money, then it hyperinflates the currency. In other words, the reason there isn't hyperinflation is BECAUSE there's inequality. Fractional reserve asset pumps only work if the vast majority of the population can never realize it's fake, because the money isn't used to consume.

Politician A creates a crisis Politician B needs more power to fix it. A) Joe Biden lets in immigrants B) Donald Trump needs more power to deport them.
