INFLATION THREAD STARTS

“A straight line runs from the madness of the German inflation to the madness of the Third Reich… The millions who were then robbed of their wages and savings became the masses with whom Dr. Goebbels was to operate…Having been robbed, the Germans became a nation of robbers.” That was Thomas Mann quoted in Bernd Widdig’s “Culture and Inflation in Weimar Germany.”

“Thus it was that defrauding the saver became a patriotic virtue, and remained one with short interruptions for an entire generation: inflation, that is confiscation without legal authority & without any limits, was the incubator for both Bolshevism and Hitlerism.”

“A severe inflation is the worst kind of revolution…only the most powerful, the most resourceful and unscrupulous, the hyenas of economic life, can come through unscathed.” – Thomas Mann, 1942

“In those days the market woman who, without batting an eyelash, demanded a hundred million for an egg, lost the capacity for surprise. And nothing that has happened since has been insane or cruel enough to surprise her.”
– Thomas Mann, talking about Germany, 1923

Cyber Security Awareness Month Password Help

This is NOT advice.

Investigate for yourself.

Do your own research.

 


vx-underground @vxunderground

Insert commas into your password so when your credentials are dumped into a CSV it breaks it

New vx-underground password: ‘nJ6″e,

Common escape sequences in CSVs (there are multiple, ah, let’s call them standards why not) involve quoting values (with double quotes to escape quotes), as well as a backslash before special characters, so this is a good subsequence to include as well:

“””,,\,\\,\\\

Add a space at the end of your password so if someone sees it printed out they won’t copy it correctly

Use the unicode duplicate codepoints of whitespace characters.

My best password is 54 characters long poem that contains 3 periods with 2 commas. I just copy and paste it from Wikipedia every time

big-list-of-naughty-strings

tired: add a comma to break csv
wired: add \, \\, \\\, \”, \\”, \\\”\,

Its Security Awareness Month. And with that comes scary imagery of blurred exploit code superimposed on a faceless “hacker” in a black hoodie. The cybersecurity industry thrives on stereotypes and FUD that vilify the hacker identity. Solutions aren’t sold without a problem.

Saudi wants Republicans to Win
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

From unanswered questions about 9/11 & the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, to conspiring w/ Putin to punish the US w/ higher oil prices, the royal Saudi family has never been a trustworthy ally of our nation. It’s time for our foreign policy to imagine a world without their alliance.

YO GARLAND,  AMERICA WANTS SECURITY
If you are tired of Democrats being soft on crime,  Garland can arrest Trump Now.

Republicans support the most traitorous, criminal president in American History, while claiming that Democrats are being soft on crime. Garland is a pussy. Is there any sexual act or crime so heinous that it would disqualify a Republican from being nominated for office?

I’d rather have a President who drops the occasional F bomb than one who incites insurrection and steals classified nuclear secrets.

Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich
the “fuck your feelings” crowd is melting straight the fuck down and throwing a massive fucking shit-fit because Joe Biden dropped a fucking f-bomb and holy fucking shit, I guess my fucking question is what the fuck is wrong with these shameless fucking fucks.

Sorry, fossil bros… it’s just cheaper. Solar Is Now 33% Cheaper Than Gas Power in US, Guggenheim Says

Ronna McDaniel says the RNC is going to sue Google since millions of their fundraising emails keep going into users’ spam boxes.
RNC complains the spam they send out,… gets filtered into recipients’ spam folders. HA isn’t that just to fucking bad!!!

So white people will reject their own benefits if they think Black people will benefit more. Jesus. “A group in Wisconsin claims President Biden’s plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student loan debt violates federal law by intentionally seeking to narrow the racial wealth gap and help Black borrowers.”
The actual WI group that sued
It’s The children of the #HomesteadAct.  THE epitome of America’s welfare babies.

Journalism in service of the billionaire class
Washington Post media reporter Sarah Ellison profiled the new owner of Politico this week, raising a number of disturbing questions. The new owner is Mathias Döpfner, the right-wing billionaire CEO of international publishing giant Axel Springer. His company bought Politico for a billion dollars last year.

Russia has killed tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians. Hundreds of cities and villages were bombed. Occupied part of the territory of Ukraine. And now, when their army starts to suffer defeats, they start talking about “negotiations”.

Funders of Musk’s Proposed Twitter Buyout Have Bailed on Him
Just a day after Elon Musk announced his intention to complete his purchase of Twitter, a group that intended to provide $1 billion earlier this year to fund his proposed buyout has reportedly stepped away from the deal.

YO Gary where were you when this was happening?
This guy committed a crime Do Kwon’s passport has been officially voided by South Korea — and he has 14 days to surrender it to the authorities and where the hell is Gary Gensler? pulling idiot kardassian bullshit stunts for his kiss ass stupid ego.

SOMEONE JUST FILLED TO LAUNCH AN ETF THAT INVERSES JIM CRAMER

We all should call Cramer during his show and ask him “Should I buy $SJIM”.

BITCOIN:
We are trying to separate money & the state with #Bitcoin. We want a neutral, censorship-resistant, & scarce money with a predictable issuance & known supply. #BTC is the only shot we have at this. Otherwise, we will be vassals to the central banks forever.

 

There are over 62,500,000 millionaires in the world, and only 21,000,000 bitcoin. You don’t need to be a millionaire to buy a #Bitcoin you can buy 5 dollars a week.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT 📢📢📢
For a long time, #Bitcoin has been underrepresented in academic and policy circles. This is one of the challenges of a truly decentralized project.
This gap has produced a large body of research that ranges from questionable to entirely FALSE. Some of the worst, most widely-discredited research ever produced about bitcoin helped form the basis for the White House’s recent policy ideas.
Swan thinks it’s time to do something about this!
That’s why we are donating to the Bitcoin Policy Institute @btcpolicyorg, a think tank advancing a vision of an America strengthened by open monetary networks. btcpolicy.org

Inflation is not natural.
Inflation is not normal.

Inflation is the direct and intended result of central bank money manipulation. And so are recessions.

How Giorgia Meloni’s Win in Italy Helps Us Understand a US Senate Race

The formula: Meld right-wing economic populism with culture wars.

When a coalition led by Mussolini fangirl Giorgia Meloni won the Italian election a few days ago and placed her on the path to becoming that nation’s first fascist-esque prime minister since Il Duce, I, like many other journalists, quickly engaged in tutorials on her rise to power. One especially frightening data point was a speech she had given outlining her conspiratorial view of the world.
