Top Stories

RESEARCHERS CLAIM THEY HAVE PERFECTED PERFETLY SECURED COMMUNICATIONS – Researchers from the University of Oxford and Carnegie Melon University claim to have created a completely secure method of digital transmission. The technique hides the intended content within other content in a way, they claim, cannot be detected. They use a technique called steganography, which involves sharing sensitive content within innocuous content. Up to now, the insertion of the sensitive data into the innocuous data creates enough of a change in the innocuous data that the cloaking can be detected. read more

FED SINKS STOCKS WITH PROMISE TO RAISE RATES – U.S. Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell recently declared that the road back to economic health is to be filled with higher interest rates than most might be expecting. “We raised rates very quickly last year, and we know that monetary tightening policy has delayed effects; it takes a while for the full effects to be seen,” he said. read more

UK PONDERS BILL MAKING IT ILLEGAL TO EVEN BELIEVE IN ABORTION OUTSIDE MURDER CENTERS – The UK is now proposing a bill that would criminalize protesting outside the murder centers, with an amendment added that would even prevent “silent prayer” outside the murder centers. Some MPs are fighting back, rightly arguing that the amendment creates thought crimes which would be extended far beyond merely preventing humans from silently praying outside murder centers. read more

CHINA SEVERS INTERNET IN TAIWAN TERRITORY – Outlying islands owned by Taiwan have been experiencing their internet go out over and ovaer again these past five years. One island, Matsu, recently had their internet cut again. The culprit is almost always the same, Chinese boats that invade their waters and send divers down to cut cables connecting the islands to the main island. So far, the Chinese have done this to Matsu alone 27 times in the past five years. read more

RESERVIST PROTESTS COULD EXPAND, THREATENING ISRAELI MILITARY READINESS – A growing number of Israelis are choosing to not show up for their reserve duty obligations, and more are threatening to join them. The movement is a response to the plans by Netanyahu’s government to dramatically “reform” the judicial system in what seems like a transparent attempt to protect the Prime Minister, who faces corruption charges in an ongoing trial. read more

LEFTIST ACTIVIST COMMISSIONER SUED BY FDNY CHIEFS – The New York Fire Department is dividing over the appointment and leadership of FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanaugh, who seems to be more concerned with assuring the department reflect anti-American leftist ideals rather than being an efficient fire fighting force. The Chiefs have had enough, and now they are suing the leftist diversity hire. read more

WOMEN TAKING OVER TOP UNIVERSITIES – Despite representing about half of the population, the top positions in the five most prestigious universities are 80 percent-filled by women. This fact is being celebrated as a victory for “diversity,” but some are calling it the continuation of systemic misandry approved of and forced on people by the corporate and state powers that support this shift towards bigotry.

U.S. NAVY WARNS CHINA IS BUILDING AN ILLEGAL FISHING EMPIRE – U.S. Naval Rear Admiral Michael Studeman, who commands the Office of Naval Intelligence, has stated that China is becoming a belligerent threat to its neighbors using illegal fishing campaigns to attack its neighbors. Studeman said, “Every other country shouldn’t suffer for China’s rise.” Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro accuses China of conducting “industrial scale” illegal fishing in other nations’ water.

CNN MIGHT SOON BE LABELED FAKE NEWS BY TWITTER, ACCORDING TO MUSK – Elon Musk tweeted out a suggestion that he might soon be compelled to label CNN a fake news source in light of news that the organization buried the Covid-19 Wuhan Lab Leak story to protect the DNC from potentially losing the 2020 election to Donald Trump.

Fed Sinks Stocks with Promise to Raise Rates

Paul Collier March 8, 2023

U.S. Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell recently declared that the road back to economic health is to be filled with higher interest rates than most might be expecting. “We raised rates very quickly last year, and we know that monetary tightening policy has delayed effects; it takes a while for the full effects to be seen,” he said.

He infused more confidence in the market when he added, “We have many unusual factors, and I don’t think anybody knows with confidence how this is going to play out.”

Powell promised indirectly that eventually we will all benefit with the Fed’s decisions to dramatically raise rates while the government continues to spend trillions funding Ukraine and Woketarian causes (as reflected in their baby green new deal).

Researchers Claim They Have Perfected Perfectly Secured Communications

Paul Collier March 8, 2023

Researchers from the University of Oxford and Carnegie Melon University claim to have created a completely secure method of digital transmission. The technique hides the intended content within other content in a way, they claim, cannot be detected. They use a technique called steganography, which involves sharing sensitive content within innocuous content. Up to now, the insertion of the sensitive data into the innocuous data creates enough of a change in the innocuous data that the cloaking can be detected.

From Scitech daily

The algorithm applies to a setting called steganography: the practice of hiding sensitive information inside of innocuous content. Steganography differs from cryptography because the sensitive information is concealed in such a way that this obscures the fact that something has been hidden. An example could be hiding a Shakespeare poem inside an AI-generated image of a cat.

Despite having been studied for more than 25 years, existing steganography approaches generally have imperfect security, meaning that individuals who use these methods risk being detected. This is because previous steganography algorithms would subtly change the distribution of the innocuous content.

To overcome this, the research team used recent breakthroughs in information theory, specifically minimum entropy coupling, which allows one to join two distributions of data together such that their mutual information is maximized, but the individual distributions are preserved.

ED.NOTE: Whenever one sees reports of perfect encryption, a healthy dose of skepticism is in order. It remains to be seen whether these researchers can further demonstrate the efficacy of their claims, but I have little doubt the advances tilt the balance of power towards anonymous, secure communication, though perhaps that goal is ultimately beyond our capacity.

If, indeed, they have stumbled upon the holy grail of secure encryption, the race to secure the technology and prevent it from reaching the general public is on. Hopefully, there are open source advocates working to duplicate this type of work, preventing it from being cut off from regular Americans behind Intellectual Property walls.

UK Ponders Bill Making it Illegal to Even Believe in Abortion Outside Murder Centers

UK Ponders Bill Making it Illegal to Even Believe in Abortion Outside Murder Centers

Paul Collier March 8, 2023

England is becoming a horror show of anti-Christ, anti-human ideological cultism manifesting itself in the worship and protection of murdering unborn children so casual fornicators can continue to sin at the expense of the murdered unborn child. The country is now proposing a bill that would criminalize protesting outside the murder centers, with an amendment added that would even prevent “silent prayer” outside the murder centers. Some MPs are fighting back, rightly arguing that the amendment creates thought crimes which would be extended far beyond merely preventing humans from silently praying outside murder centers.

The inhumanity of leftism is becoming more and more apparent as it has spread to all corners of the earth, exposed for everyone to see. No longer isolated in distant countries, leftism is the new depraved norm. Its ideological worldview, that the self can make everyone itself by first becoming the orthodox, centrally controlled and defined, view of the social man, is producing on larger scales in lands where it can no longer hide, the murderous consequences of such a schizophrenic assumption.

England is not as far down the path of death as Canada, which has even less protections for its citizens than England does. America is holding on by a thread, buttressed by the willingness of Americans to live out the Bill of Rights standards and DEMAND our governments and corporations do the same. Without it, we would be where England is right now, passing laws that put government guns in the hands of child murderers and point them at those who resist this ungodly standard.

Leftist Activist Commissioner Sued by FDNY Chiefs

Paul Collier March 8, 2023

The New York Fire Department is dividing over the appointment and leadership of FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanaugh, who seems to be more concerned with assuring the department reflect anti-American leftist ideals rather than being an efficient fire fighting force. The Chiefs have had enough, and now they are suing the leftist diversity hire.

The leftist appointed by Mayor Eric Adams has put a priority on getting women fire fighters, at risk to other fire fighters, and at risk to the people whose homes and businesses are on fire and in need of efficient handling. She has no previous experience fighting fires herself, something that is not lost on the firefighters that are forced to follow a “leader” who wants to use the department to advance her leftist bona fides rather than serve the public securely, a trait more often than not seen in leftist politicians across these lands.

Reservist Protests Could Expand, Threatening Israeli Military Readiness

Paul Collier March 8, 2023

A growing number of Israelis are choosing to not show up for their reserve duty obligations, and more are threatening to join them. The movement is a response to the plans by Netanyahu’s government to dramatically “reform” the judicial system in what seems like a transparent attempt to protect the Prime Minister, who faces corruption charges in an ongoing trial.

A former advisor to Yair Lapid, the former PM and current opposition leader, claimed he made the decision because he has “no choice – I cannot do reserve duty under a regime that is trying to destroy us, and I cannot do reserve duty in an undemocratic country.”

For his part, Lapid falls just short of supporting the movement, but he continues to give it legitimacy.

Like America, it appears the rift between the “left” and the “right” is becoming existential at its core. For we Americans, we can overcome this turmoil, but for Israel, they are surrounded by enemies, including the Palestinians, who would rather see them dead than live peacefully with them.

China Severs Internet in Taiwan Territory

Outlying islands owned by Taiwan have been e xperiencing their internet go out over and over again these past five years. One island, Matsu, recently had their internet cut again. The culprit is almost always the same, Chinese boats that invade their waters and send divers down to cut cables connecting the islands to the main island. So far, the Chinese have done this to Matsu alone 27 times in the past five years.

Matsu is home to 14,000 residents, who make due by creating limited internet connectivity through microwave radio transmission, which is a slower form of internet than dial-up. Taiwan’s Coast Guard caught one Chinese ship red-handed, but it was able to escape to Chinese waters.
