MORE INDISPUTABLE PROOF I AM BAD AT POSTING

So, uh, this just went up on Popehat. Apparently DC prosecutors are trying to get the IP addresses of everyone who even visited disruptj20.org, one of the major hubs for the inauguration protests. Because that's not horrifying at all. There's a hearing on Friday.

my hot take:

#DJ20 was a peaceful protest, executed on the day of the inauguration, wherein a handful of paid organizers (funded by George Soros) collected protesters as they arrived in the city (having promoted attendance and given guidance for where arriving activists might congregate), segregating them into 7 or 8 impact groups. These groups - each themed with a relevant social justice identity, i.e. 'Water Protectors' or '#BLM' or 'LGBTQA' or 'Labor' or whatever - each held a direct action and a march on the morning of the inauguration. The direct action was to build a human barricade at each of the entrances to the national mall, and hold the barricade until the inauguration begins. There was disinformatika about plots to disrupt subway traffic. There were the 420 activists who handed out joints in McPhereson Square with the intention of lighting them all on the national mall four minutes and twenty seconds into Trump's speech - though few of those activists were able to enter the national mall. The whole purpose of the action was to ensure the turnout at Trump's inauguration was as low as possible - visibly low, in photographs. The troll definitely worked, as Trump's Administration's /first/ official communication was an outright lie about exactly those crowd sizes.

While the DJ20 groups were /executing/ their peaceful human barricades, the Black Bloc marched. A number gathered at McPhereson and marched north(?) to Dupont. I marched alongside for that leg, and as they came down a major street toward Franklin Park - the park I'd slept in the night before. I hung back in Franklin to pick up a trash can that someone had carelessly turned over - not realizing /the parks are *OURS*/ - and the po-lice rushed by me to kettle everyone on the march. Many are still facing federal charges. I could easily have been among them.

The Bloc distracted Riot Cops from the peaceful Barricades. Attendance was embarassingly low. Images of the low turnout made it to press. Trump's ego took a significant blow, and he got butthurt, became a lulzcow. But as The Bloc and the Riot Cops continued to battle throughout the day - the battle that moved toward Franklin park later, prompting me to tear off my clothes in protest - each of the #DJ20 marches, enjoying the success of their Direct Actions from earlier in the day, was led peacefully and loudly through the streets of DC. And each of those marches passed through the battle zone where the Bloc and the Riot Cops were squared off - where National Guard sat watching, under a watchful helicopter's eye. The peaceful crowds passing through the battle zone allowed people to de-bloc and duck out, or black-up and pop in. I don't know that the kettle really captured any of the people that were swinging hammers or throwing stones.

The limo that was set on fire, that was put there by Larry King - who works for RT.

If Bannon does go, will it fuel an alt-right rebellion on Trump? Breitbart's readership has been way down, I wonder if ditching Bannon and slightly distancing himself from open fascism will piss off any pepes.

No, someone was saying "but hospitals use them so they must work", where the thing is is that they securely connect you to something but that "something" can be anything. It can securely connect you to a hospital's internal network and let you use the hospital's internal database or whatever but if it's securely connecting you to just some other ISP just like the one you are already connected to it doesn't get you much. It's not a magic security spell or anything.

VPN just means instead of your isp knowing what IP addresses you're connecting to your VPN knows that. However they do prevent the sites you're visiting from knowing where you are. Https is what prevents your isp or your VPN from being able to view the contents of your communications with the remote server. Your DNS server is who knows exactly what sites you're visiting, since more than one site can have the same public IP address, although many times it's a 1:1 match.

Either way yes there is no 100 percent anonymous way to browse the web and it isn't impossible that given the right resources any actor couldn't figure out your browsing history.

So good of him to levy another strongly worded attack at the guy that ditched you in disgust. Now officially spent more time in the last 48 hours moaning about perceived slights against him than addressing a national crisis on record. Again just looking so loving good to the world agan

I've mentioned before that I'm familiar with this dude, but I don't recall if I've mentioned this. I know for a fact that he was investigated by either the Victoria PD or the Victoria County sheriff for improper relationship with an underage girl. Wasn't charged, but I think they ran him out of town, which is why he ended up in College Station. Also he was scammed/catfished out of thousands of dollars by teenage Russian girls (or scammers pretending to be). He's in his 50s. Dude is a proper creep in addition to being a shithead.

Any good VPN directs DNS through the VPN, so it still only is the VPN provider. Just need to be sure to get one that doesn't log and you're pretty OK other than all the browser identifying cookies

Media: How come Trump seems to be able to get angry and indignant about everyone from Mitch McConnel to CNN to Muslims to Democrats to Mika Brezinski to the Twilight films but can't work up some emotion about Nazis, white supremicists, and a terrorist act on American soil?

Trump: Gets angry about the media pointing out that he's not angry about the Nazis.

When Obama was president every time something like this happened my racist coworkers would blame Obama for setting race relations back 50 years, but now that Trump is in charge they're placing the blame squarely on him. Just kidding, they're saying that the statues are part of history and should stay up and who even knows who attacked who anyways?
