So... Not only were the guards "sleeping" the day the Epstein was murdered, only a few cameras were working, and when it was time to bring the evidence to court the tapes were mysteriously "corrupted" to the point where the judge couldn't view them. Also on the Chans a guard who worked at the facility posted how they came and killed Epstein and didn't log a military vehicle who came to their post.

Now, if you have the balls to call any of this a "conspiracy" or that the US government isn't as corrupt as a run of the mill crack-pot tyrant, come have a word with me. The audacity. Acosta told them Epstein couldn't be touched because he's "intelligence". Fucking corrupt to the core.

Every day, I ask my self "are the laws that impact me negatively even worth following?" I think I've found my answer.

If you are a male, online dating will be full of scams and very costly. Men don't always get the better end of things in life, especially in today's screwed up world.

Seriously, this is why I strongly encourage people to find alternatives to Signal. The program even ties an unique short identifier which cannot be changed at will by the user, a phone number, to the account. There are alternatives.

You don't need any type of accounts is the beauty, I don't want to take time digging up the details but I'm sure if you search it you will find the service.

I sincerely do not believe for a second that the story was false. In fact, I would wager that there is even more to the spying.

You can obtain you Bitcoin with a portable power generator and satellite dish if you are on the move or cannot access conventional utilities.

That's not the use case here. The process you are describing leaves us vulnerable to the government and state actors who can access your bank accounts, see the records, and steal your money. We have absolutely no reason to allow government in to our finances, so we must do things like this.

With crypto, the only way the govt is doing that is if they coerce you. Try that with a "bank account".

This is criminal. How can they do this to us? It was a great service.

Where did you see that on the site?? Sounds very interesting.

Right, I could care less about this Wuhan flu crap we need to focus on getting the world's economies back on track. Many more people are suffering from economy issues than the flu.

Years ago I applied for a major American company. When I went to the interview it was two guys asking me the questions. They made a sexist joke and were losing it with laughter, and I felt obligated to join in. And because I did, I got the job. So it has only opened doors and opportunities for me.

Always host software outside of US or *eyes jurisdictions.

Think Truecrypt.

Ain't that the truth

Yup. But I thought it was the NSA for an encryption program?

Fired for laughing? You didn't work at the funeral home or anything... Geez. Glad I never subscribed to PC culture!

What will these crazy cop organizations think of next?

You can tell that much of it is paid and bots. Social media spreads a lot of negativity.

I had to read the title a few times to my self it was that shocking. The audacity. The CBP is doing something illegal to citizens and then they refuse to come to court, essentially.

The irony! This comment made me laugh.

I'm curious how many people on HN actually have those spy IoT devices setup with internet access in their homes.

"It's scary to imagine what the Stasi would have been able to accomplish with today's surveillance technology."

Basically what Western governments do presently. You raise a good point about the metadata being very useful to malicious entities. This is why I do not recommend Signal. And you are forced to be tied to a number.

It is extremely unfortunate, but every time sensitive data like this is collected and stored it is abused in many different ways. You would have to be crazy (no pun intended) to use these services after all this.

That is very interesting. Did you ever catch any spooks trying to manipulate your source code?

I wouldn't trust Signal for the sole fact that the USG promotes its use. Think CryptoAG and how hostile Swiss law is to data privacy. Kids seem to think just because they were once known for banking secrecy doesn't mean they treat data the same way (they don't).

The irony of this is so great it must really burn the usg. Russia protecting freedom in 2020...

You can take it with whatever grain you wish, but it doesn't change the fact that the government will throw all rules out the window when they want to get their way.

And to top it off, Hillary literally put the idea on the table that it would be just fine to drone strike journalist Julian Assange: https://archive.vn/DrLRO

So no, zero faith for things like laws to keep the government in check.

The only thing we should be "at war with" is this pathetic excuse for a fucking government.

The jail system couldn't even keep the worlds number one criminal from being brutally murdered, with the guards sleeping and the tapes "not working" (Epstein)

This is very sound advice for anyone who wants to feel more secure about their surroundings and mobile devices.

People underestimate the spying potentially of mobile phones very often. They are always on, have a data connection, and run software that is abysmal for security.

It is OK that the US did this because .com TLD's are controlled by their government.
