I got arrested on terrorism charges for holding a sign that said 'I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action', in Parliament Square. Our government is pushing to reduce the amount of court cases that are tried by jury because the public generally agree with environment and anti war protestors's motivations.
The government's proscription of Palestine Action was deemed an over reach but they are appealing the decision. So I am currently still considered a terrorist by our government. How is it that you can think the UK can look down on any other country in this regard.
You responses are most helpful and you are, no doubt, a charming fellow however you don't seem to understand that doxing can be a very serious problem for some people. Maybe I'll buy you a coffee!?
It is a common manipulative method of praising something right before landing a substantive blow on it as a way lending your argument credibility.
Anonymouse has the most wonderful posts I have ever read, however I believe in this case he is down playing the threat to the owner of Archive.today that is represented by doxing them. Snowden isn't hiding in Russia because he loves the weather. Assange didn't hide in the Columbian Embassy because he liked their exercise bike. There's a reason that the person who released the Panama Papars is only know as John Doe. And why can't Francesca Albanese's bank cards no longer work. Amongst the powerful elites are psychopaths.
Acting as if doxing someone who undermines the elite's grip on PR is some benign act and irrelevant to the owner of archive.today's reaction is a leading distortion of the reality of the situation.
I do wonder what the motivation of gyrovague to dox the owner of archive.today was?
From Hacker News:
"Gyrovague", the author of the post we're commenting under has for reasons unknown engaged in targeted harassment of the owner of "archive.today".
Now the owner of archive.today is attempting a rather lazy DoS attack against gyrovague.com. A rather mild response to gyrovague attempting to bring the archive.today owner physical harm by spreading potentially identifying information about them.
There's really very little to be said about this whole thing besides that Gyrovague should try to be a less awful person in the future.
It is relevant to this discussion to mention that archive.today keeps in the public sphere that which governments and powerful people have scrubbed out of general awareness by applying various forms of pressure. So we should expect them to come under pressure too.
Maybe related, maybe not: Wikipedia's owner came under pressure it seems to muddy the debate around the genocide in Gaza. Archive.today will hold a record of the propaganda warfare in mainstream media and more ephemeral web content like videos/blogs uploaded from within Gaza. So by excluding this particular archive Wikipedia seems to be prioritising media sources that are manipulated by governments and the powerful.
Is the RTE as compromised as badly as the BBC? You have to read 3/4 of the article to find out that obviously it was Israel that attacked the UN peacekeeper base. Even then the article doesn't mention Israel's attack until it managed to wedge in a largely irrelevant condemnation of Hezbollah's assault on Israeli forces illegally in Lebanon (Hezbollah of course being a legal organic resistance force to illegal Israeli occupation and not a proxy of Iran). Which it misleadingly describes as attacks on Israel, adding (for the purpose of further misleading) that the attacks 'menaced' (note that they didn't strike) civilian communities in northern Israel.
The article also provides cover for this particular round of aggression towards
UN peacekeepers by insinuating that the strikes came 'admist heavy firing' as if that excuses the deliberate targeting inside the base. It could have mentioned that the UN peacekeeper bases are there to specifically discourage Israel from annexing further land from Lebanon, to further their imperialistic plans in the region, which is why Israel is constantly trying to get the UN to withdraw those forces. Following that it could also question if Israel thought attacking the UN base with Ghanian soldiers would achieve the withdrawal of UN troops without drawing too much condemnation in Europe. And if this is part of the overarching pattern of racist activity by the fascistic ethnostate.
I think you need to figure out a white/wholewheat blend ratio that works for you. Try 20% wholewheat, 80% strong white flour. Then start increasing the wholewheat ratio until you don't like the result. Then go back to you favourite mix.
