POLITICS / LAW

RED ALERT: TELL CONGRESS NOT TO DESTROY ACCESS TO CREDIBLE NEWS, FUND HATE, & HARM INDIE JOURNALISM
every time you click a link to a “mainstream” (read: owned by billionaires) news outlet from a major platform (Google, Facebook, Etc.) you have to pay the conservative billionaire a click tax.

That’s it.

That’s what it does.

Koch’s, Mercers, and Murdocks that need curbing.

If you think there is NOTHING the FBI can preemptively do to curb the threat posed by white supremacist terrorists, I invite you to study what the FBI did to the Black Panthers.

FBI agents who refused to work on Jan 6 case should be fired & thoroughly investigated. Jailed if any were in on this horrific event in any way. So sick of the rampant corruption in politics, the law, & institutions. Time for a thorough cleaning. There are laws on the books regarding unregulated militias in America, ask Chris Wray and Merrick Garland about them. They are ignoring them.
Back when the Black Panthers where exercising their “2nd Amend Right” and feeding kids,the elderly and providing medical care in their neighborhoods, J Edgar Hoover i.e the FBI targeted them as the greatest domestic threat in America aka PUBLIC ENEMY #1. Let that sink in today. That’s the difference most of Law Enforcement are White Supremist and the FBI is no exception

The J6 committee investigating the attack on the US Capitol has decided to make criminal referrals to the Department of Justice.
#DOJ #subpoenas Ariz., Mich., Wis. officials for #Trump communications
The requests, sent to multiple counties targeted by Trump in his effort to reverse his 2020 loss, are among the first known subpoenas issued by #JackSmith, the newly appointed special counsel in the Jan. 6 probe https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/12/06/jack-smith-trump-communications-subpoenas/
“The subpoenas, at least 3 of which are dated Nov. 22, show that Smith is extending DOJ’s examination of circumstances leading up to #January6th to include local election officials & their potential interactions with Trump & his reps. The virtually identical requests to Arizona and Wisconsin name Trump individually, in addition to employees, agents and attorneys for his campaign. Details of the Michigan subpoena, confirmed by Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, were not immediately available”
“The requested communications include those with Trump’s campaign manager, Bill Stepien, and other advisers, such as Boris Epshteyn. Attorneys identified include Trump campaign lawyers, such as Justin Clark and Matthew Morgan, as well as those serving in other capacities, such as John Eastman, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and Cleta Mitchell.”

Administrative tools and logon types Article 08/15/2022

In a remote administration scenario, credentials are always exposed on the source computer so a trustworthy privileged access workstation (PAW) is always recommended for sensitive or high impact accounts. Whether credentials are exposed to potential theft on the target (remote) computer depends primarily on the windows logon type used by the connection method.
This table includes guidance for the most common administrative tools and connection methods:

HEALTH

If we’re all going to survive this pandemic, we all have to mask. #WearAMask 😷We’re getting to the point that it’s so damn inundated in the air that even the slightest of missteps (slightly ill-fitting mask, remove mask for a second to stop water, or many other, “I was good except for”) is catching the last of us that have managed to avoid it for so long.

Drum Tower: Control pique CLICK TO LISTEN

Protests in cities across China show there is real anger over the zero-covid policy and the party’s intrusion into every corner of people’s lives. A neighbourhood surveillance system is mobilising people to police one another. Could public unrest threaten Xi Jinping’s plans for total control?
The Economist’s Beijing bureau chief, David Rennie, and senior China correspondent, Alice Su, hear from somebody who has lived through street-level surveillance in China’s most tightly policed region of Xinjiang.
