News Briefs – 12/23/2021

Here are some news stories that might be of interest. Most articles will be more or less summarized in the headline. You can skim the headlines and summaries, and click the links if they are of interest. Keep in mind, many of these reports are products of the Fake News, so although they will be what people are hearing and talking about, there is no guarantee any one of them is necessarily correct, and we have had cases of outright lies make it onto these pages, especially about President Trump.

Tony Blair says “if you’re not vaccinated… you’re an idiot.” I always love these, because they give you a window into the psychology of the enemy who tries to manipulate us with them. This is a model which the enemy came up with based on the fact it would affect them. Whoever came up with that argument must feel dumb, and they must be self-conscious about it – to the point that to avoid being seen as dumb they will inject anything into themselves, so long as it will cause the argument that they are dumb to go away. So they conclude they only have to tell us we are dumb if we don’t get the jab, and we will all run to get it, because we care what those idiots think. It is funny to see they can be so easily controlled.

A proposed Spike Protein detox for those who took the vaccine. I don’t really know how effective it would be, but I wonder if you cut calories, as you restricted protein intake on an intermittent fast schedule, if you would starve the body of the amino acids necessary to construct the spike protein. When you fast, you normally increase growth hormone, which causes muscles to protect their protein stores and not break down the muscle protein to supply the body’s amino acid needs. Low blood sugar is essential to that effect, with exercise depleting blood sugar and provoking up to something like a 20 or 30 times increase in GH, and just a small paper gup of grape juice destroying the entire effect. If you cannot break down muscle protein due to high GH from intermittent fasting, and you are not taking protein in, you will lower your supply of the constituent amino acid building blocks to assemble into Spike proteins, which might reduce spike protein production and lessen the effects of the vaccine. Just a thought for any anon with his back against a wall.

The method sounds clearly better from a theoretical standpoint than mRNA, but you always want to let other people try it first. And if the virus is getting massively less lethal, it is probably not necessary in this case.

US tracks stolen funds converted into Bitcoin, identifies the wallet, procures the “private key,” and seizes the bitcoins. I really don’t understand the mechanisms of crypto, which I know is unacceptable and I am working on it. But if the US can identify a wallet, and then obtain a private key on their own, doesn’t that mean they can seize any bitcoin anywhere, if they set their sites on it? Personally, I have always felt neighborhood observation posts were told to monitor neighborhood internet activity for any crypto activity, and get all the info to track and take the funds through classic surveillance and tech-monitoring techniques, and put that in everyone’s files. So IMO, no crypto is safe, secure, or anonymous. My own feel is the elites will set up a way to short crypto as it peaks, and then reveal how controlled it is and cause a crash, which will make them even more money than they have made off the rise of it.

As GOP purges its RINOs, a whirlwind approaches. Kind of like a Storm? Like if President Donald J. Trump became Speaker of the House?

California Republican sucked up to Democrats by voting to Impeach President Trump, and now is redistricted by the Democrats out of his office.

President Trump gives an interview discussing Assange and Snowden together where he indicates he favored on, and wasn’t a fan of the other, but he does not elaborate. Tough to say who is who, though I tend to feel Snowden is CIA, and sought to take out NSA for Cabal, while Assange is clearly an enemy of the Deep State, based on his treatment.

“Migrant” is a media term; the real meaning is “they come and then they leave.” The correct term is “invaders” or “criminal trespassers.”

Migrant is actually progress for our side, though. Remember when they called them all “immigrants?” Well, we finally got it across that they are NOT immigrating. People who immigrate come to make a new life in a new country. They never intended (and still don’t) intend to make a new life in America. They intend to come and work, send the money home, and then go home after it. They are simply economic pirates.

Moving from “immigrant” to “migrant” is significant headway. Eventually we might get it to “invader.”

It really is amazing just how much of their damaged psyches they project onto other human beings. It’s also amazing just how simple their psyches are once you peel back the layers of psychobabble they protect themselves with. This is why they must necessarily fear the light/truth subconsciously/instinctively/explosively, rather than consciously/logically. It also explains the strange, emotionally protective, groupthink way they communicate with each other, with minimal truth-content.

These wicked people are spiritual lepers, actively protecting their open, festering wounds they are unable to heal and won’t let be healed. Those wounds were inflicted upon them when they were children by their predecessors. But this doesn’t keep them from inflicting the same wounds upon their progeny. It’s a vicious cycle of wickedness only Christ can break.

‘Pope Francis says, ‘no country can exempt itself’ from duty to take in migrants.”’

So Literally HITLER!!! should have acted on his Lebensraum initiative as a humanitarian migration for the German people of Central Europe in desperate search for living spaces. His mistake was to frame it as a military operation. If the Wehrmacht had come into Poland and Austria and France and Holland etc shouting the Krautisch word for “Refugee! Refugee!” the history of the 20th C. would have been lollipops and unicorns.

Good to know.

With all the pro-“migrant” policies out there, I’m surprised someone hasn’t moved their army in and taken over a neighboring country. All they have to do is declare that their troops are “migrants”, and it’s all good, right?

It’s also interesting that in the pro-“migrant” EU nations, passports are still required for people coming in from places that aren’t pre-approved African or Middle Eastern nations, while some have actually passed laws against “harassing” the invaders.

Intermittent fasting is what works very well in reducing inflammation and controlling sugar and insulin levels. With its manifold maladies.

If you must have Carbs. Go with complex carbs and avoid simple carbs(including refined sugar) like poison.

Eating Fruit is preferable to white/brown sugar for example and avoid drinking fruit juice because its just as bad as refined sugar.

Early Christian Chant:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZOYbuQE_Bo

Medieval Old Roman Chant.
Title: “H(a)ec Dies, quam fecit Dominus”.
Service: Easter Sunday Vespers
Performers: Ensemble Organum, Director: Marcel Peres
Album: “Chants de l’ Eglise de Rome – Periode Byzantine”

“This was published in 1986. At the time Marcel Pérès was working with Lycourgos Angelopoulos, who sings the Graduale ‘Hec Dies’ , then Josep Cabré sings the 1 verse ‘Confitemini’ and Josep Benet sings verse 2, ‘Dicat nunc Israel’.There is a group of ‘paraphonistae’ who sing the ison, the sustained bass-notes of the harmony.”

Instead of the current modernized “Gregorian Chant” this chant includes the “Ison”.

Making the “Gregorian Chant” a dumbed down version of this more original form of worship in my opinion.

Those interested in early Christian chants are encouraged to attend a Divine Liturgy service at an Eastern Orthodox Church. About 90% of the service is chanted, and most of the hymns are from the first five centuries or so.

This 1/6 prisoners thing is really bizarre. It is facially preposterous. These ppl being held in solitary and abused for trespassing? The greatest violation of Civil Rights in history? Idk.

I see three options (certainly others I don’t see)

1: MMC it is all fake and jewish and gay

2: They are actually being held for serious crimes and DOJ is not revealing that. They were part of a massive conspiracy.

3: Cabal is punishing them out of spite and in total control of the Legal Bar and prison system and DOJ.

I gotta say I think 2 is most likely with 1 a strong possibilty and 3 is almost certainly wrong.

I know Pelosi and Schiff et al are acting like they are in control but they are liars.

He might be CIA. His career path doesn’t even make sense, and almost all of his grand revelations had been discussed on the usenet comp.risks mailing list, sometimes decades before.

That’s not even questioning how he had free access to such massive amounts of classified data, or why he was allowed to bring storage media into a high-security installation.

Its a revelation of sorts, since a few weeks have passed after the hord of gangstalkers and ground coverage suddenly up and went away, time provides some perspectve, and one take away about gangstalkers, at least the ones we had here, almost all northern Virginia and eastern Maryland north of the bay, its the rage gangstalkers got. They all have this kind of rage. It makes them all similar, after you spy a few you start seeing gangstalkers more easily.
In these rural WV mountains that is a characteristic which really sticks out. Folks arounfd these parts are exceedingly polite and courteous, so much so it is part of everything about them, even like driving habits and the manner in which folks adress eachother.
The differences are subtle between us and gangstalkers, so after you start to notice it it really jumps out. But its the rage, how it shows up, it is very telling, now they have all but everyone one has left, the few to be seen they really stick out now.

I think gangstalker now and all i see is their rage.
Now I’m trying to undrstand this tage, how it keads to something, may be why they are such closed mouthed about their network, may be their tage is an effect of how they are co-opted into gangstalking, why they function as an organization, what it is about them how they betray and treason us, ae involved in poisoning and killing us, running terror and reprisal operations, how they could vommit so many crimes and transgressions against us, assaults and tresspasses. I guess you need some kind of tage to justify fucking with good folks like gangstalkers do, something to justify their actions, rage is a goid instrument, so is there something within the network, maybe thats the prime operational directive for the machine, to feed and maintain the rage. Somethings causing it. I know it ain’t me personally, no matter how much of a brickbat and grumpy motherfucker i am. It be impossible for me to make a couple hundred gangstalkers i have no personal contact with turn up in rage to fuck with me, my family and friends.

Say this too, its a driving rage, something that dirties all hands it touches. It isn’t aside effect either. Its a product, a feature, a means. An instrument. A weapon. They all got it. I seen it standing in walkyworld waiting for them to box me off, in the corner of the dairy section, patiently watching them with their grocery carts cover of free food, watching them work into their positions and their LT or foreman, moves up within speaking range and tries to engage me, and you can see them all prepare their rage, and when i just keep eyes on all of them, they can’t engage indirect eye contact, except the group leader, and i can see his rage it comes ourt his eyeballs, the set of his stance, and his inflection in his words, the tage comes out little more, a fustrated rage, because I’m not in fear, I am not afraid, I’m armed, I’m quietly facing them, and the leader starts to femand I answer him, and I give tgem all another eyeball, i can sense they know I’m looking at each of them, and after what seems like a suitable time, look at the leader, he’s oozing that gangstalker rage, and say, Yeah, I seen you around. Seen you around everywhere. I know who you are, and walk right between all of them, saying, yeah, I seen all of you around. Sense I pickup on hapoens when you cross thru their space, kind of shits them down, they turn their face away or down, will not ebgage you eye to eye, their rage like a door closes over it.
Amazing is how many of them work together covering you. You see it and you cant unsee it, see it everywhere. One trick works, up where i live its a stretch of road where there is only two side roads in 8 miles, about 5 mile strip between no roads, but a number of little turn offs for gated log landings and pasture, 12 major elevation changes and about 10 kiss your ass turns, with heavy forrest right up to the road, thats barely more than enough for teo cars to pass, so its excellent for getting out of coverage for a couple minutes, do a bat turn, jet back up a mile and wait, watch the vehicle coverage, and the reactions on the gangstaljers when they see you where your not supposed to be and your leaning out the window looking right at them not breaking eye contact. WooHoo! thats something else. Or watching them rushing to pit vehicles on you, they don’t know you back tracked 6 miles, get to see what vehicles they are running at that moment, usually a particular model and close range in model years, like say 5 Hyundi’s, teo tone silver over dark blue, with WVU logos in blue and yellow blazed on the front doors, or might be late 4 door Dodge sedans, or Chevy late model PU’s, they run a lot of vehicles. Probably from vehicle pools. Their fuel bill must be big. Figured out the gas station that they had an account with, by doing the back road shuffle get myself parked up, looking thru the gap behind the cab of a fuel truck deluvery, watch vehicle coverage pulling in to fuel up. Its funny, bacause it was totally candid camera time watching them. Its obvious its break time too, so just to see what happens, put it in gear and idle just past the nose of the tanker truck so I get a full view of the gas pumps, and sit watching, one gangstaljers is scanning and he does a double take, back hands his lookout, she looks up from her phone, then see her texting and all at once all the others in all the gangstalker cars alllook over where Im sitting, just to make thing funner, i stay put, eating a dagwood my wife made. watch them watch me, and it is very interesting because i can see they kind of have that look of dont know what to do, and that rage begins to radiate. Plus they are texting somebody, like for info or instructions, and a few of the drivers get that WTF disgusted look, couple of the spotters texting act fed up/fustrated from whats on their phones. and they all start giving me dirty looks. Decide to go inside order a pizza, and to see what gangstaljers do, sure enough they take turns inside after ive watched them outside way long past time normal folks would have done their business and gone on their way, puting coverage on me, takes 15 minutes to make a pizza so I get to watch them watching me being sure they watch me watching them, tell you what, gangstalkers do not like being on the receiving end. Obviously uncomfortable to them. Disconcerting. A look of not knowing how to handle being watched.
Another take away as AC points out about their calling us idiots, gangstalkers are institutional things, like the leviathan, how the glowies are nstitutional products of their institutional order, the machine and network, much of what they do is institutionalized, its obvious from the things i see with gangstalkers, and like the federal government they have cored out, using its shell as a disguise inorder to do their dirty deed against us, there exists a kind of inflexibility to everything, there’s rules they adhere to, to do otherwise is outside tgeir comfort and safe zone, nothing is open source or grass roots natural organic, everything is structured on a tier or hierarchy of power. Kind of a hive structure. These drones, rank and file cadre gangstalkers, they are not so accustomed to things that change up in the middle of tge count, or act counter instrad of under manipulation or control resulting from their organized institutional activity and action. its not just this tale of one day about vehicular coverage cat and mouse, many things happened and it was plain various patterns of an institutional order exist. Ont take away is the glimpse into just how organized, institutionally so, gangstaljers are, and the inference its part of a monumental countrywide, domestic survailiance operation combined with a vast techno survialiance net they have cast over everything, much of it advanced enough it is fused together, pun intended, like Fushion Centers kind of fusion, into a massive real time network, its only resource which is always in a state of never wnough is the human aspect of the network.

Then all these pieces parts started to fit together snug as a bug in a rug. And no way can i make those parts fit in any way other than they do.
If I needed more than that to accept the truth i would meed to be fitted for a straight jacket, and not the other way around for being “a conspiracy theorist”.
Helping others to see is the teally important part and the trickiest. Alot of folks do not even know they been mind fucked to react instinctively to being presented with Truth thats counter to the truth they been told to believe in.

Following up again on the questions I asked about the college town situation. Without giving up too much detail, I am an employee of the university in this town. I have noticed some mild sabotage on projects I was interested in by mildly narcissistic boomers, but that could be nothing but them being boomers or something else, however it looks like it has stalled any promotion or attention. Do university faculty or staff ever participate in gangstalking? I figured they would be both “above” such a lowly task, but also politically motivated enough of leftists to get their way no matter what dirty work they need to do. I mostly just see run of the mill leftists bitching about something, but are largely pushovers when I stand up for myself about something.

Sadly I let the local weirdos get to me and I gave notice to leave my residence. I didn’t really like it or the town anymore so it’s not the end of the world. The local thugs were mostly white and very mean looking, with some blacks around as well, more than I would have expected for an area like this. The rent in this area used to be closer to that of the suburban area, but now the rent in the suburban area has skyrocketed but this college town still has cheap rent almost everywhere.

The new place will be in a much nicer area than even where I started, and will be in a sort of cul-de-sac that is also surrounded on some sides by forest to where I could easily spot anyone who looks out of place. The original place faced a driveway with garages on the other side. These garages had multiple auto repair shops (freelance repairs by Latino residents) and also boomers storing way too much stuff in them. The driveway got more traffic than the through street on the other side.

I’ve been told I am prone to overthinking. I imagine either obvious targets or people with enough “weird” things about them to warrant being a target would be?

Decision making, I would imagine by many people, has been very much impaired the past two years. It looks like TPTB are making it impossible to truly make a correct decision on anything due to how unpredictable life is now. I constantly question everything I’ve done, especially the past two years.

I think there is a reason for the grammer Nazi’s. Its about spellcheck which I have always suspected is a text surveillance tool. Its in everything, it sees everything everyone types, it must for it to function as a spelling correction program.
Its not rocket science its a pretty good way to spy on everyone. Plain and simple. Imagine what can be done with all that data.

Grammar Nazi’s are trolls, shills, and agent provocateurs, maybe even crude AI, used for shaming peole into correct spelling and format, because misspelled words and other incorrect grammar fucks with the spellcheck program. So its either employ human’s to go thru corrupted survieliance or lose it.
Already the fuckers have too much human factir shit.

No doubt Miles Mathis Committee are moving in on the ultimate intelligence. I happened to search for pictures on his site and got this great list of beautiful girls. Wow and then…I noticed that he had included…Olympic rhythmic gymnast girls! Holy shit.

I used my super secret MMC decoder ring and found that not only, as the MMC has told us, that our USA Olympic gymnast girls are really super secret CIA agents(yes he said this) but…get this, the super secret decoder ring points towards the Russian and Bulgarian Olympic gymnast girls into being CIA agents ALSO! The super secret decoder ring never lies. I can prove it.

The MMC says “pi =4” but normies say pi=3.14.So( 4 – 3.14=.86) and 8 and 6 are one away from from 7 which the exact number of days in a week. SHAZZAM!!!! Try to prove that wrong. Impossible! The decoder ring never lies!

I mean there’s on the exact same site! No wonder the USSR fell. All their little girl Olympic gymnast must have been recruited, as we all know miles Mathis says that USA Olympic gymnast girls are CIA agents, and they MUST have recruited the Russian and Bulgarian gymnast also.

Maybe they taught them their secret jump strangle trick and when the USSR politicians were alone they jumped up on them, strangled them to put them into a hypnotic trance and then forced them to capitulate.

It’s all so clear now.

I might add that while I’m very afraid of the CIA Olympic gymnast girl agents the real question is when “Q” springs the trap. WHAT THE HELL WILL WE DO WITH THEM??? Any minute they could have CIA flashbacks and jump on people and strangle them. Should they be required to have their legs braced together??? Lead weights???

It’s a real problem.

It’s not their fault. The CIA probably took the prizes out of their Lucky Charms cereals and substituted hypno rings driving their minds into a hypnotic stupor where they could train them to be the jumping stranglers that they’ve become. It’s so sad.

We must be compassionate but at the same time be braced for their strangle jump.

Lesson from history on how Venice fixed its voting procedures:

“Tron decided to invent a consolidated and improved voting machine; he also reformed the method by which voting took place. Instead of two separate boxes, he had them attached to each other, side-by-side, in one apparatus. Only one opening was made for the urns, and it was hidden behind a tube about the width of half a palm (tubum prominentem circumduxit semi palmae spatio, described in I.60). The idea was that a voter could put his hand into this tube and then direct hand towards either box, without anyone knowing which box he was aiming for.

Another of Tron’s innovations was to make it easier to vote “no” for a candidate. The “no” box was made close to the tube of entry, so that someone who wanted to vote against someone could secretly drop his ball in the close cavity as his hand moved down into the tube. He could pretend to be extending his arm inside to reach the “yes” box, while actually he might have already dropped his ball in the “no” cavity. The idea was that voters could not pretend to do one thing (i.e., vote “yes” for a candidate), and secretly do another (i.e., reject him) without any fear of being detected.

This was the sophisticated innovation in voting procedure that Tron developed for use in Venice’s Great Council, the Senate, and in the Council of Ten. According to Bembo, things began to improve immediately upon adoption of this new system, as voters could now feel free to cast their ballots without running afoul of partisan hacks or bigwigs. For especially serious matters, such as capital cases and important trials, a third voting urn was used in addition to the device just described. This was to be used if someone was undecided; this urn was kept separate from the other two urns.

This was not all. The Venetian Council of Ten did not just make improvements in voting machines and procedures. They sent a very clear message to the public that corruption, demagoguery, and insider dealings would not be tolerated. How this happened, we will now relate. An influential office-holder (one of the Quarantia for capital crimes) named Gabriel Bon, together with a man named Francesco Falier, proposed a new law whereby every citizen over forty years of age in dire financial condition would receive a public gift of one pound of gold. Citizens between twenty-five and forty who were facing financial hardship would receive, they proposed, a half of a pound of gold. The supposed purpose of the law was to take care of citizens who were in need.

So Bon and Falier proposed their law to the Senate and to the Great Council. But the Venetian senators were not fools. They could see that this law was little more than a disguised attempt by two ambitious politicians to curry favor with the masses by passing out public money. Bon and Falier thought that they might be able to win higher offices in the future if they could buy the love of the citizenry with gold from the treasury. The Senate sent the two politicians to see the Venetian doge, who warned them sternly to drop the proposal. The two men pretended to agree, but secretly made efforts to put certain provisions of the law into effect.

Now when the Council of Ten found out about this, they had Bon and Falier arrested and jailed. They were then banished to the island of Cyprus (a Venetian commercial possession), and were told that they would face the death penalty should they ever attempt to leave the city of Nicosia on the island. Some of Bon and Falier’s associates were also sent into exile in Crete, and not permitted to leave the town of Rethymno. This severe sentence was meant to send a message: demagoguery, insider dealings, and corruption would no longer be tolerated.

Determined and vigorous leadership, new procedures, and new ways of thinking can be very effective in limiting political corruption. But unless the will to solve the problem exists, little or nothing can be achieved.”

This is from a friend who is into crypto and knows more about computers than I ever will:

“Maybe you can forward the below to AC for his education…

Standard cryptography is like a lock-box and key. Once a message is placed in the lock-box and locked with the key (encrypted), it can only be opened by someone holding that key or a copy of it. But in order to be useful for communication, both the lockbox and the key must be transmitted somehow to the recipient, which means the message could be intercepted along with the key, and opened by an eavesdropper. Public-key cryptography addresses this problem by placing a hasp on the lock-box which can be padlocked. The intended recipient of the message has the only copy of the key (the private key) that can open the padlock (public “key”) and never shares it with anyone. However, the padlocks themselves (public key) can be freely shared. This enables a secure communication channel to be created without the ability of an adversary to intercept both the encrypted message and the key that can unlock that message. In short, once a transmitter encrypts a message with a public key, he cannot decrypt it with that key. No one can decrypt it except the individual holding the private key (of which there should be only one copy in existence).

A private key can also be used “in reverse” to sign a document. First, the document is reduced to a unique fingerprint using a hash. This is just a short random jumble of characters that uniquely matches that document and is deterministically generated from the document. Hashes are not secret, anyone can re-calculate the hash for themselves (that’s the point). Then, the hash is encrypted with, say, Bob’s private key (mathematically, private and public keys can be used in reverse without problems.) Now that the hash has been encrypted with Bob’s private key, anyone can verify that the hash really was signed by Bob by decrypting the encrypted fingerprint with Bob’s public key. Since they can re-calculate the document’s hash (fingerprint) for themselves, they can compare their own calculation of the fingerprint of that document with the encrypted fingerprint, and verify that the document has been signed. Should the document have been altered in some way during transmission, the fingerprints will not agree, and so the signature will detect the fraud, and the recipient can ask Bob to re-transmit the document again. The verification procedure will only succeed when the received document matches — character for character — with the document that Bob originally signed. The fingerprints must match and changing even one character in the document will completely alter the fingerprint.

In cryptocurrency, the private key is used to perform this signature role. When I create a Bitcoin address, that address is mathematically linked to a matching public key. In order to transfer funds out of that address, I need to prepare a transaction that looks something like, “Transfer 0.00038 BTC from address A to address B.” But the network won’t just accept such a message, it must be signed. The signature is performed with the private key.

Let’s suppose Alice has 0.50 BTC stored in Bitcoin address A. Here are the pieces involved:

Private key A_priv for Bitcoin address A (mathematically “inverse” of A_pub below; only Alice has a copy of A_priv)
Public key A_pub for Bitcoin address A (can be transmitted freely to anyone and must exist in a transaction record in the blockchain)
Bitcoin address A (exists as a transaction-record on the blockchain)
Bitcoin transaction message

When Alice wants to send 0.25 BTC from address A to Bob at address B, she must submit a transaction message to the Bitcoin network. The transaction looks something like:

“Transfer 0.25 BTC from address A to address B” + sign(A_priv, fingerprint(“Transfer 0.25 BTC from address A to address B”))

The result of fingerprint(“Transfer 0.25 BTC from address A to address B”) will be some string of characters, which are then encrypted with A_priv key using the sign() function, resulting in a string of encrypted/random characters. That string of characters is what authorizes the transaction. It is also tamper-evident since no one in the network would be able to alter the transaction itself without that alteration being detected (the network would simply drop the transaction if this were to happen).

Once the transaction request is received, the network will check the referenced address A to see if it exists. If so, the network will retrieve A_pub from the associated record in the blockchain (which is unalterable) and perform the following verification:

decrypt(A_pub, Alices_transaction_signature) = fingerprint(“Transfer 0.25 BTC from address A to address B”)

This test can only succeed (the equality will only hold) if Alice did indeed use A_priv to sign the transaction she submitted to the network.

This reduces the security of cryptocurrency to the problem of securing the private key, which is just a string of 256 bits. For custodians of very large assets (e.g. exchange wallets), it’s obviously insufficient to rely on a PC computer as a “secure endpoint” because there are just too many possible ways to hack PCs. This is why hardware wallets are used. A hardware wallet is a non-PC, standalone device (some hardware wallets can be operated fully offline, meaning, “air-gapped”) that simply handles the encrypted storage and retrieval of the private key itself. The private key could also be stored in hard-copy (paper) but this has security risks in that storing it in visible form permits attacks (e.g. spy camera) that electronic formats are immune to. So you just have to balance your security profile. The wallet (private key) can also be stored as a “seed phrase” which is just a random sequence of human-readable keywords. These allow the wallet to be put into what is called “cold storage”. This is where the private key is not existing in any electronic system (not even a hardware wallet) and is stored only on paper (or, preferably, a metal plate or some other fireproof/durable medium). See cryptosteel, for example. Assuming the private key has been securely transferred to its seed phrase (not captured on a spycam, for example), and any electronic copy wiped from existence, the problem of securing the assets associated with that wallet is now purely a problem of physical security (securing the plates storing the seed phrase).

You can be certain that the big crypto players out there are doing exactly what I just described — generating their seeds offline (using fully air-gapped systems) and only storing them in physical form (secured in a vault.) The only way that the US government or any other agency/entity would be able to steal Bitcoin assets at whim is if they are able to reverse the public-key derivation, meaning, to go from A_pub -> A_priv. This is not mathematically impossible, but the consensus of academic cryptographers is that this is computationally infeasible without quantum computation.

In this case, I would bet that this crook was storing the wallet on a PC, mobile or smartphone device, and the FBI used its vast device-entry toolset to simply snarf the private key right off the device. Yes, most Bitcoin users are vulnerable to this kind of seizure. In fact, last I checked, the majority of Bitcoin holders do not even hold their own assets, instead storing them in an exchange like Coinbase (who is the actual custodian of the wallet where the Bitcoins reside.) So, yes, if you want to have “seizure-proof” assets in Bitcoin, it’s a little more difficult than just installing a Bitcoin app on your smartphone and punching in your CC info and making a Bitcoin purchase. Casual crypto users holding crypto-assets in this insecure way who think they would be proof against an FBI/etc. seizure are deluded.”

Here is the answer from my friend:

“Yes, the hardware wallet will store the seed phrase (from which the private-key can be reconstructed in a software wallet, such as Electrum) in encrypted form. So, the security of the seed phrase is down to the strength of your wallet password.

In case you do not have any possibility of physical security (for example, you live in a completely totalitarian state like China/Iran/etc. where the private citizen simply has no physical security at all), then you could keep what is called a “brain wallet.” This is where you use an ordinary wallet to receive some Bitcoins (transaction stored on the blockchain), then you memorize the seed phrase (24 random words, this is not an easy feat) and then you wipe all electronic copy of the wallet / seed-phrase, without writing it on paper or metal plates. Now, the only way to reconstruct the wallet is from your memory which is, in principle, the only existing “copy” of the seed phrase, anywhere. When you want to retrieve the Bitcoins later, you can just type in the seed phrase into a wallet, open it and use the funds. A brain-wallet is probably a bad way to do long-term storage because such a long jumble of random words is likely to be forgotten (and they must be random, or the seed phrase is not secure). However, brain-wallets are super-useful for crossing the border of a totalitarian state, with Bitcoins. You don’t need to transport any electronics, paper, metal plates or anything else that would be searchable/seizable by border police. As always, such schemes are still vulnerable to the rubber-hose attack, so if someone knows you’re crossing a border with a brain wallet, the secret police might just beat it out of you, lol.”

Thanks, FarceSensitive.

That’s interesting. There was some TV episode of a show called FBI international where physical crypto wallets on their way to a vault were hijacked. I think there was some mention of physical crypto plates.

Don’t these physical wallets use any of the TrueCrypt technologies available? You should be able to rely on a salted hash value of a passphrase to access the wallet. That would be what you know. The metal plate with some kind of number on it could be a physical token. That would be what you have. Two-factor authentication at least.

About bitcoin…

This system comes off as very interesting.

Remember Napster? Napster was probably the first peer-to-peer network. it used bittorrent to slice pieces of files together from computers all over the world. Very innovative concept for a decentralized network.

The problem with all peer-to-peer networks, however, is that everyone has a vested interest in using a peer-to-peer network, but no one has a vested interest in adding to a peer-to-peer network. It’s the classic tragedy-of-the-commons. With Napster, for example, you had to opt-in to sharing your download folder so that others could upload the files you have. If you choose not to share, then the network cannot scale. Tor has the exact same problem, where you have to opt-in to be a node on the network.

Enter bitcoin.

The purpose of bitcoin is to compensate people for contributing their hardware to the network. Wallets generate hash-valued files in unique pairs. The pairs are passed to blockchain miners where the computers to match the pairs the fastest get a “token” for completing the task. Blockchain is designed to create scalable p2p networks. Bitcoin is just one proof-of-concept for this.

The question is, why is there so much myth and mystery behind what bitcoin is? Why deliberately obscure what it is supposed to do?

Spellchecking is for lazy fucks who can’t be bothered learning their language, their primary means of communication. It is almost certainly surveillance, AI learning, and to dumb down the populace. Look at kids coming out of school , they’ll input three letters and wait for the autocomplete or suggestion when it would have been quicker just to type the damned word.

TrueCrypt was a hard-drive-encryption software so not really applicable to this scenario.

[quote]You should be able to rely on a salted hash value of a passphrase to access the wallet. That would be what you know.[/quote]

If you’re going to use cryptographic methods, you basically have no choice but to use digital electronics because the number of steps involved in even the simplest modern encryption algorithms makes it infeasible to perform them by hand (you’re talking months or maybe years of human effort to duplicate). So the purpose of writing down a seed-phrase on a steel plate is so that whoever has physical access to that steel plate, has the assets. Just like cash, if the plates are stolen, the money is truly gone. In this case, that’s a bug [i]and[/i] a feature, lol.

[quote]The metal plate with some kind of number on it could be a physical token. That would be what you have. Two-factor authentication at least.[/quote]

You could encrypt the seed-phrase and write the encrypted seed-phrase onto a metal plate. This would effectively make the metal-plate into a brain-wallet with a short passphrase (the passphrase for the encryption, which you have memorized). However, it’s hard to see what scenario this really covers. If you have physical security (e.g. a vault with cameras and guards), then there is no added benefit to encrypting the seed-phrase and risking the loss of the wallet if the person who has the pass-phrase for the encrypted seed-phrase in their head, dies. And if you really do need a brain-wallet, it’s not impossible to memorize 24 random words. Difficult, but not impossible. So all the other moving parts involved with encrypting those 24 words so you can memorize a shorter pass-phrase introduces additional risks just to make the memorization a little easier. If I were going into North Korea with a brain-wallet, I would rather memorize the whole seed-phrase than trying to monkey around with a laptop to decrypt the metal plates with the encrypted seed-phrase from the pass-phrase I memorized. I hope that makes sense.

[quote]Ask your friend what the role of the bitcoin miner is.[/quote]

Miners just make Bitcoin go, nothing more, nothing less. But miners do not control the Bitcoin network. The network is what determines (a) what is the true blockchain (through consensus on proof-of-work) and (b) enforces network policies (such as the mining difficulty factor, blockchain format, allowed transaction types, etc.) What this means is that the full-nodes wield disproportionate power versus the miners. The mining difficulty-factor makes it zillions of times cheaper (monetarily) to be a full-node than to be a miner. So the full-nodes hold all the “voting power” in the network. What the miners are competing for is not control over the network, but the lottery-ticket to be the next miner to add a block to the blockchain. These are two separate roles and most popular news articles completely jumble this up. In other words, what miners are competing for is the right to convince the full-nodes to add a copy of the block [i]they[/i] mined to the official blockchain (as defined by the countless copies of the blockchain stored on the hard drives of full-nodes around the world). But it’s the full-nodes that have to be convinced.

If all the Bitcoin miners were owned by one company and broke away into some non-compatible blockchain, this would grind the Bitcoin network to a halt but could not corrupt the blockchain itself, that is, no new blocks would get added to the blockchain but even if you held all the miners, you could not unilaterally change the blockchain if the full-nodes did not agree. The so-called 51% attack is why the network would grind to a halt, but as long as the full-node operators were circumspect enough to realize that the miners had been taken over by an evil entity, they could pause their nodes while waiting for honest miners to come back online. And you don’t actually need a lot of miners — in theory, one honest miner would be sufficient to reboot the network. So, it would be a matter of re-targeting the full-nodes to ignoring the dishonest miners and only processing blocks mined by honest miners. If something like this were to really happen, you’d basically create a list of IPs of honest miners and distribute that to full-nodes who want to keep adding legitimate blocks to the true Bitcoin blockchain instead of playing con-games with the dishonest miners.

[quote]Also, ask him what he thinks of Solidity.[/quote]

Solidity is basically the programming language of Ethereum. Bitcoin also has a programming language called Script. However, Script is [i]extremely[/i] constrained and there are only a small number of possible/allowed Script programs that can be run on the Bitcoin network. This is done to prevent large classes of possible attacks on the Bitcoin network that could arise from Script-based malware. Ethereum has a different execution model and this permits a different approach to network security, so they are allowing complex Solidity scripts to run on the Ethereum network. In my opinion, Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum are the Big-3 in terms of trustworthy cryptos. Everything else I put as second-class citizens, or lower (fraud/scam/etc.) I’m not saying there are no other good cryptos out there, just that these three form the root-of-trust of the crypto-universe. Just my opinion, of course.
