“Orwellian Ministry Of Truth” Busted – Judge Bars Biden Officials, Agencies From Contacting Social Media Companies
July 5th, 2023Via: ZeroHedge:
In an order fittingly issued on Independence Day, a federal judge in Louisiana has forbidden multiple federal agencies and named officials from having any contact with social media companies with the intent to moderate content.
The preliminary injunction arises from a suit filed by the states of Missouri and Louisiana, along with individuals that include two leading critics of the Covid-19 lockdown regime — Harvard’s Martin Kulldorff and Stanford’s Jay Bhattacharya — and Jim Hoft, who owns the right-wing website Gateway Pundit.
“If the allegations made by plaintiffs are true, the present case arguably involves the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history,” wrote US District Judge Terry A. Doughty. “The plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits in establishing that the government has used its power to silence the opposition.”
Secret Service Investigating How Cocaine Got In The White House
July 5th, 2023When I read the headline, I immediately started chortling and wondering if Hunter Biden came to visit…
A few paragraphs later…
Via: ZeroHedge:
The Secret Service on Tuesday confirmed rumors from the day earlier that it was investigating an “unknown item” found inside the White House library on Sunday, which was described in radio traffic as a cocaine-like substance.
“On Sunday evening, the White House complex went into a precautionary closure as officers from the Secret Service uniformed division investigated an unknown item found inside a work area,” Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement, adding that the D.C. fire department determined the substance did not present a threat… although it certainly could present Hunter Biden with hours of brand new video material for his infamous notebook.
In a dispatch with an 8:49 p.m. timestamp, a firefighter with the D.C. department’s hazardous materials team radioed the results of a test: “We have a yellow bar saying cocaine hydrochloride.”
The brief broadcast was logged on a website called openmhz.com, which allows people to listen to live and archived radio transmission from police and fire departments. One of the officials familiar with the investigation, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss an open case, said the 8:49 transmission was from the White House call Sunday night. The official described the amount of the substance as small, which likely means that most of it had already been consumed.
The discovery came two days after recovering crack cocaine addict Hunter Biden was last seen at the White House; yet even so there appears to be some “mystery” as to how the cocaine got there.

Zuckerberg Launching Threads to Compete with Twitter
July 4th, 2023Via: AFP:
Elon Musk spent the weekend further alienating Twitter users with more drastic changes to the social media giant, and he is facing a new challenge as tech nemesis Mark Zuckerberg prepares to launch a rival app this week.
Zuckerberg’s Meta group, which owns Facebook, has listed a new app in stores as “Threads, an Instagram app”, available for pre-order in the United States, with a message saying it is “expected” this Thursday.
Toyota Claims Solid State Battery Breakthrough
July 4th, 2023Via: Mining:
Toyota said on Tuesday it has made a technological breakthrough that will allow it to halve the weight, size, and cost of batteries.
“For both our liquid and solid-state batteries, we are aiming to drastically change the situation where current batteries are too big, heavy, and expensive,” said Keiji Kaita, president of Toyota’s research and development center for carbon neutrality.
“In terms of potential, we will aim to halve all of these factors.”
The automaker announced last month that it plans to commercialize its solid-state battery technology in EVs by 2027 at the earliest.
Industry experts have long heralded solid-state batteries as the most promising technology to solve EV battery problems such as charging time, capacity, and the risk of catching fire.
The technology replaces the liquid electrolyte with a solid one and uses lithium at the anode instead of graphite.
Secret Government Effort To Regulate Your Mind
July 3rd, 2023Via: Michael Shellenberger:
One of the big questions that those of us involved in exposing the secret U.S. government censorship effort have been asking ourselves over the last few months is: did the people involved know that they were breaking the law?
That question appears to have been answered with a resounding yes by the House Judiciary Committee. Yesterday it released its report, “The Weaponization of CISA: How a ‘Cybersecurity’ Agency Colluded with Big Tech and ‘Disinformation’ Partners to Censor Americans,” on government censorship.
“It’s only a matter of time,” wrote a former assistant general counsel for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in an email to a colleague, “before someone realizes we exist and starts asking about our work.”
The “we” in that sentence refers to the network of government agencies and nongovernmental organizations that we and others have dubbed the Censorship Industrial Complex. That Complex includes the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public.
Its leader, Kate Starbird, responded to the former CIA official, Susan Spaulding, by saying, “Yes. I agree. We have a couple of pretty obvious vulnerabilities.”
But one day later, Starbird dismissed the notion that she and her colleagues were doing anything wrong. The real problem was, she explained, that “current public discourse (in part a result of information operations) seems to accept malinformation as ‘speech’ and within democratic norms” and that CISA may face “bad faith criticism” for its censorship.
What is “malinformation”? It’s accurate information that might lead people to come to the wrong conclusions — or do things that Starbird, Spaulding, and their allies didn’t want them to do, like not getting vaccinated against Covid-19.
I’m Afraid We Have to Talk About “Her Penis”
July 3rd, 2023Via: Brendan O’Neill:
We need to talk about her penis. Not about any specific individual’s private parts. That would be weird. No, we need to talk about the union of those two words. The smashing together of the female pronoun and the noun for the male genital organ. Her penis. Nothing better captures the irrationalism of our age, and also the slippery authoritarianism of it, than the fact that this nonsensical phrase is frequently uttered, and as much in the respectable press as in the gender Bedlam of internet discussion forums. If anyone tries to tell you the culture war is a myth, show them her penis.
Her penis is everywhere.
New Research Paper: mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines Are Gene Therapy Products

Now that the pandemic has ended, researchers are urging regulatory agencies to consider the safety issues associated with the rapid approval of COVID-19 vaccines—and to correctly classify messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines as gene therapy products (GTPs) to prevent pharmaceutical companies from bypassing regulatory standards.
Power Analysis of LEDs Can Reveal Encryption Keys
July 3rd, 2023If you thought TEMPEST/van Eck phreaking was interesting in the 1980s, check out what’s possible by monitoring power fluctuations on modern LED displays.
In case you’re a “normal” computer user and wondering if you should be concerned about this, the simple answer is no, not really. There are many, many, many other issues with our computers that are far more serious (and pretty much unfixable) than this clever trick with LEDs.
If, however, you were concerned about this, could you run some threads doing CRC or creating unrelated keys in the background to hide your actual encryption activities?

Claims That French Government Has Cut Off Internet Access in France Are False
July 3rd, 2023Update: Macron Accused of Authoritarianism After Threat to Cut Off Social Media

If you’re seeing messages on social media about the Internet being down in France: That’s false. As of 14:45 UTC, the Internet is working normally in France.
I’m able to browse the Internet though my VPN with an exit node in Paris. Both French sites and international sites look normal to me.
There is definitely no widespread Internet outage in France at this time.
But don’t take my word for it:
