US NRA On The Ropes Amid State Financial Deplatforming Attack

The US National Rifle Association, an organization that has long been a major financial supporter of more than half of active US politicians at any given time, is in peril after facing a financial deplatforming attack led by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (archived). As a result of Cuomo's blacklist campaign the NRA has lost its general liability insurance and is having extraordinary difficulty accessing the fiat financial services their organization depends on.

Politically motivated deplatforming campaigns have typically been limited in effect to denying social media access and occasionally financial services to figures outside the political mainstream on popular platforms. By contrast the National Rifle Association has long been a pillar of mainstream US politics serving to moderate the mass of would be conservative voters into a form more malleable to "our democracy" by promising them no matter what horrors may come, at least they could keep their guns. That's a rather tepid proposition for this age of The Great Again.

Yet Another 'Unhackable' And 'Tamperproof' Hardware Wallet Hacked And Tampered

The "Bitfi" wireless hardware wallet has been discovered to be very hackable and otherwise molestable contrary to vendor claims (archived). The device turns out to be a Mediatek Android smartphone board in a case readily pried open by a normal, healthy human thumbnail. Meanwhile the software stack is readily rootable and open to subterfuge as these things tend to be.

Copyrasts Pushing For Prosecutions Over Vote Outcome

Texas based music industry lawyer Chris Castle is calling for criminal prosecutions over a "European Parliament" vote that failed to approve measures supported by his clients (archived). Expect application of the "prosecute votes we don't like" strategy to continue to grow in application after the unsuccessful "Russian interference" whining failed to gain anything other than so called mindshare in loyal subjects of the "our democracy". As in the failed attempt to delegitimize Trump's election, this effort is largely a case of foreigners attempting to change the outcome of a vote after the fact.

Israel Evacuating Members Of "Syrian" Opposition Group "White Helmets" To Jordan And Beyond!

Israel has begun evacuating members of the anti-Assad "White Helmets" organization from Syria to Jordan for further evacuation to Britain, Canada, and Germany (archived). Self described as "observers" members of the White Helmets have been conspicuously and conveniently situated for each of the alleged chemical weapons incidents during the proxy war in Syria.

Hollywood Pervert Purge Continues As Pantsuits Enact Gunn Control

As Hollywood's latest morality panic continues, Disney has sacked "Guardians of the Galaxy" director James Gunn over tweets labeled "pedophilic" (archived, archived).

San Francisco Mayor London Breed has expressed shock at the amount of human feces on the city's sidewalks during her first interview since taking office (archived, archived).

Numerous Reports Speculating Ecuador In Negotiations For Imminent Assange Extradition

Numerous reports are suggesting that Eduadorian President LenĂ­n Moreno has entered into negotiations to extradite Julian Assange from the safety of his current residence into the hostile Anglophone territory outside of his embassy suite (archived). Moreno has repeatedly been referring to Assange as "una piedra en el zapato" and had Assange's communication with the outside world restricted earlier this year.

Assange's precarious situation highlights the hazards of trying to interact with fiat states, as just one election has changed the desired foreign policy of his chosen host while his Ecuadorian home is surrounded by an increasingly unstable England.

Israel Bombs Their Gaza Concentration Camp Again

Israel has once again bombed their concentration camp in Gaza (archived). The camp at 365 square kilometers, inclusive of the permimeter "no-go" zones where Israeli guards shoot to kill, is the largest of its kind dwarfing historical examples while holding an estimated 2 million prisoners. Since 2005 Israel has maintained land, sea, and air blockades while only making infrequent ingresses into the camp, usually in the form of mortar and missile fire.
