They face a huge problem. What has happened in recent years, the scope of their expansion and the levels of exploitation was not envisaged and they seem to have no idea how to respond. If they are forced to regulate or be regulated their futures in their current forms are in doubt.

Yeah that's the gist I got. Who defines "good" though? I get that the "dark web" is mainly for creeps and weirdos. 20 years from now people will be laughing at our current trust in the openly accessible net, I'm sure. |

Yep. Will be thought of in the same way as 80s evolutionary tech these days. |

Dat project looks like it is about using the same block-chain principles to build secure data development storage and exchange. It could just as easily be used for good or evil purposes. I would be very surprised if it isn't already used by ''unfriendly'' powers An obvious application being unfriendly countries using such systems to operate outside the global networks to get around sanctions, transfer technology and payments etc outside the usual transfer systems to avoid scrutiny. Iran, Turkey, Egypt, North Korea China have all been caught out doing stuff to get around US imposed sanctions.

I'd be surprised if that hasn't been happening for a while now. The net is probably as reliable as the old time rags were 100 years ago. Amazing to me that people trust any hot goss on it.

My take on Alex Jones. Social media swung the election for Trump and some people are not happy about that. This has been a long time in the works.

He has admonished the prosecutors for discussing Trump, but in this case it was unavoidable because the financial crimes Manafort engaged in in a particular instance intersected his Trump campaign participation because he used his and Gates positions at the head of the campaign to extort money from a bank and the pay-off was a cabinet position for the banker. This will play out again and expand in the Washington trial in September because it established the power they held in the campaign to manipulate senior positions in other cases on behalf of Moscow.

Great news on the swamp draining front Shammy.
Another swamp monster nabbed overnight along with his son, his son's girlfriend and her father. Mr Collins boasted of making half of his home town rich, so maybe more to come. Also reported that 4 Republican congressmen bought the same shares at the same time, maybe on his advice? I hope they didn't also get rid of them on his advice. I also hope if they did stuff on Collins advice that they didn't tell family and friends.
Washington is a bit less swampy this morning Shammy. |

Any Devin Nunes news on Fox today, or are they covering Hillary's emails or Uranium One?

No from what I understand it's marketed to a different "brand", FWIW, than the "dark web" types. Kind of an idealistic thing that will appeal to a different set. Don't ask me how it will work in practice, weighing up "freedom" vs selectivity etc, but apparently it's a different type of concept. Absolutely no idea about any of it myself, but possibly an interesting development in the webby world. |

Sorry, back to swamps and pay-offs and oligarchs and world politics and stuff, which we all know everything about thanks to the net.

Trumps water and Californian wildfires tweet was for Devin. He that is recused but still heads a comittee on Russian cyber attacks and collusion.
America. Trumps gunna send it broke , he's over cooking it. He's killed American exceptionalism already with his attacks on the intel community and Russian rhetoric (think OReilly interview and more) and recently said Vlad offered a great deal ...... to handover ex diplomats and intel assets. That aside , it's freakin fun to watch a 'leader' destroy a country and its standing. |

Bernie Sanders and that New York socialist whatshername? are poison for the Democrats. Democrats need to take back the middle ground- plenty of room there with Trump taking the Republicans into the weeds- not go off into the weeds themselves on the other side of the road.

That's the weird part.
The two parties had a Socialist in Sanders v Donald Trump. Sure Hillary got the nom , but insider info aside , they wanted him. Dichotomy , America is thy home. |

Fair to say though I think that Bernie is obviously a weirdo, so the purist socialists didn't stand a chance. Hillary was establishment, and Trump was less weird than Bernie. Not rocket science really, and doesn't take russian meddling for what happened to happen. Having said that, an even more extreme weirdo in Corbyn seems to have a lot of support in England. |

Sanders was America's shot at their very own Corbyn.
If England have another election soon and Corbyn gets in it will be the final nail in their social coffin.

You don't realise how bad Fake news is until you are caught up in it or have enough evidence to see what they will do for a story.
I read an article in our No 1 news outlet recently, ( info supplied by a sacked Nurse trying payback ) BUT the paper used pictures of the buildings being debated. Problem was the area they showed had been closed almost 50 years ago. Naturally it painted a very poor, neglected ( false ) picture, of the true location. |

The scene of the crime was the White House lawn. The White House is problem the neighbourhood with the highest crime rate in all of Washington DC, and that is saying something. This guy was Trump's first congressional supporter. He is what Trump represents and covers for. No Shammy, I respect true conservatism. You know, the thing you abandoned to support this crime spree called the big spending, big debt, big govt, racist Trump Administration. 8 of 9 Special Elections won by Trump backed candidates? Like Ohio this week? A 2016 12 point district heavily gerrymandered since, win bi 0.8? If that is winning, you can win all you like in November. 68 seats ate gone with that swing, and as Devin the traitor said on the weekend, Trumpers are gone. Trump will spend the rest of his life defending hundreds of law suits draining whatever of his wealth is left.

Sorry Shammy, you probably dont know about Devin. As of 11PM our time yesterday, Fox still hadn't reported on the leaked audio tape of him laying out the whole sad truth.

CNNPT: I know yankee politics is objectional to you, but that is what makes are country so great. We actually have a real democratic experience that cycles in political character regularly rather than the parochial royal and parliamentary experience that Commonwealth nations suffer based on no confidence votes absent the population .

If democracy is so important to you why aren't you calling for the fixing of the heavily gerrymandered electoral districts, estimated recently to favour Republicans by 3.5% across the board, and stop suppressing the votes of minorities, estimated that 2 million blacks and Hispanics have been removed from electoral rolls stop disenfranchising people convicted of misdemeanour crimes(overwhelmingly blacks). You dont believe in Democracy unless it is heavily tilted in the favour of whites.
Did you watch Laura Ingraham's white ruling class rant yesterday of Fox? She hit the nail on the head and this administration under Sessions racist agenda is carrying it out. What did you think about what she said Shammy? David Duke described it as the most important monologue in recent history on MSM.

And that is leaving aside the bizarre but legal electoral college and the imbalance of Senate representation. You call yourself a Constitutional Republic rather than a Constitutional Democracy for a reason. You have both aspects but the ability to cheat it.
