HELL SERPENT

Here's an interesting read:

https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2021/12/a-deep-dive-into-nso-zero-click.html

The NSO Group, an Israeli tech firm founded by members of Israel's counterpart to the NSA, that was behind the Pegasus spyware used to track and prosecute journalists and activists, developed a "zero-click exploit", basically a hack that doesn't even need for you to interact with the message in order to trigger it - as long as they have your phone number, they can send you a message, and just the mere act of the phone processing sets the whole thing going.

And the exploit is rather technically intricate as well: it uses a PDF image processing algorithm to essentially create a Turing-complete state machine to run an entire separate virtual computer inside your phone.

It's Gutfest '89
Grimey Drawer
Former child actress and diplomat Shirley Temple Black has died at the age of 85. Here she is pictured with her daughter Lori Black, meeting the Beatles. Our sympathies go out to Lori and her family.

Lori was a bassist for the Melvins and dated frontman Buzz Osborne, who recounts his interactions with Shirley in my book Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge:


"BUZZ OSBORNE They probably thought that I was some leeching weirdo and that their daughter went out with me just to screw with them. Her dad was never nice to me. Shirley was nice to me to some degree, but they’re very guarded people. I’m sure they thought I was going to write some book or something. And believe me, without going into any graphic details, there are massive skeletons in that closet."

"One thing that Shirley said to me was, “Working in the government, you can always get somebody audited.” I took that to heart. They never did anything to me personally, or even threatened me, but they didn’t need to. You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. They were über-right-wing. Now, I’m not talking about Rush Limbaugh; I’m talking about the people who make life-and-death decisions. And it’s not necessarily evil; it’s more realistic. Charles was ex-CIA. It’s weirder than you can possibly imagine. I certainly never got the truth."

"Since then, everything that’s happened—from Nirvana going crazy and on and on and on—none of that holds a candle to how weird that situation was. That’s David Lynch weird."

there used to be a second hand record shop in newcastle and the guy who owned it would remaster stuff off tapes etc. i was in talking to him while buying a christmas present and he told me some guy had secretly recorded his son being admitted into the masons and wanted it transferred off the lovely tape onto CD. apparently the ceremony is extremely long and extremely boring

It wasn't as long as the Knights of St John one I went to. That one was excruciating.

Lmao great defence witness guys

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-59703611

quote:

A former girlfriend of Epstein - Eva Andersson-Dubin - also testified for the defence on Friday.

A former physician and Miss Sweden winner, she said she had dated Epstein on and off from 1983 to 1991 and that her children called him "Uncle Jeff".

She denied involvement in group sexual encounters with a Maxwell accuser who testified last week.

But when pressed by prosecutors about the extent of her memory, she said: "I can't remember the past... sometimes I can't remember what happened a month ago." She said it was because of a health issue.

The defence could argue that she was his first victim, it may not aquit her but it is an argument for a more lenient sentence.
Was she also a victim, and should that matter at all considering how long and and extensively she helped Epstein?

They don't appear to have done that though, right? They seem to have set up the case by saying that it was the victims who had been manipulated by male lawyers looking to make cash, and that Maxwell was just another example of a woman being blamed for a man's crimes.

But then when it came to their section of the trial they just...didn't? I'm only relying on the daily TrueAnon episodes here, but it sounds like they really didn't push on anything too hard.
