Maybe Canada will give the bankers and stock traders more thievingsraum?

In essence Trump is trolling, and people are falling for it. The distraction campaign is working.

This 'outrage' trolling is being used as a starting point for constant recycling of political and economic talking points.

One can find little quips like this in Usenet archives:

Donkey Button == Ass Key == ASCII

Your juvenile and race-slur language and profanity are unacceptable, dumb savage behavior. You might think you are being 'edgy'. You're just a spectacle of stupidity. [blocked]

I'm looking for different P2P networks to share my papers and essays. It is mostly postscript, pdf, and txt files. Since a lot has changed in the p2p landscape I figured I should ask around before downloading and testing a hundred apps that don't work.

The link looks fishy. 'ytmnd.com' looks like a spammy domain.

This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "f*** around and find out." Brutal.

What is it with these perps carrying machetes? A machete is for toting around in the woods and brush, not downtown. And threatening police with a machete is a real stupid move and removes all sympathy for the suspect. Just dumb.

On the same site a Canadian suspect fled across the border into USA and was captured by the Washington State Patrol. This genius also had a machete. What gives?

I was thinking of setting up a dedicated box to serve my files on all the P2P networks I could find. I don't even know if some of them are active any more.

I do know that edonkey still has some peers. WinMX became DarkMX and has a few dedicated peers. Other than that, IDK. What about Limewire, Phex, or gnutella in general? Does anyone still use these old nets?

"Let them eat cake" is a very old journalist meme about government indifference to the horrible suffering it causes to the impoverished people.

"Let them eat cake" is the traditional translation of the French phrase "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche", said to have been spoken in the 18th century by "a great princess" upon being told that the peasants had no bread. The phrase "let them eat cake" is conventionally attributed to Marie Antoinette, although there is no evidence that she ever uttered it, and it is now generally regarded as a journalistic cliché. The French phrase mentions brioche, a bread enriched with butter and eggs, considered a luxury food. The quote is taken to reflect either the princess's frivolous disregard for the starving peasants or her poor understanding of their plight.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let/_them/_eat/_cake

Like many other memes and political slogans, it is falsely attributed to someone who actually didn't say it.

So we have gone from, "Let them eat cake" to "Make them eat cake [bugs]" as a political meme used by journalists and agitators to promote an agenda of faux resistance.

== Usenet: Network News Free Speech Network ==

(303 words. Read time 2-3 minutes. Save and share!)

## Contents ##

  1. Introduction
  2. Ways to access Usenet
  3. Links to Usenet hosts and software
  4. Rough traffic count

Do you remember Network News, AKA Usenet? At over 40 years old, Usenet is the original 'social network'. Usenet is the oldest bastion of digital free speech networks.

Usenet is highly resistant to censorship. For decades Usenet has served as a free speech haven. It has also served as a platform for secure and anonymous messaging.

I suspect that many of GenY and GenZ have never heard of Usenet. We can change that. We can alert them to this censorship-resistant network as an alternative to highly censored social media.

## Ways to access Usenet ##

There are multiple ways to access Usenet:

- web front ends
- dedicated graphical clients
- dedicated terminal clients

## Links to Usenet hosts and software ##

Users can access Usenet to read and post by installing free client software or by visiting a host that provides web browser access.

* Free Forum front end for Usenet: https://novabbs.org/

* Free Usenet servers list: https://sybershock.com/#usenet

* Free Usenet reader software:

- Thunderbird https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/
- Betterbird https://www.betterbird.eu/
- Claws Mail https://www.claws-mail.org/
- Sylpheed https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/
- Seamonkey https://www.seamonkey-project.org/

## Rough traffic count ##

A few days ago when I counted, more than 16 thousand articles were posted in Usenet threads in a 24-hour period. I checked today as of a few minutes past midnight GMT, and almost 12 thousand articles were posted in the past 24-hour period. At this rate about 4.4 million articles would be posted in a single year.

Share this information with your friends!
