“The CDC’s admission that no test can diagnose Long COVID could be a warning sign that the government has built an entire category of chronic illness on unverifiable symptoms—and failed to investigate the one factor all patients have in common: the vaccine.”

I also wondered before until 1 enlightened me about the DNS thing, so using Onion over VPN is kind of stupid in fact, it leads right to loopback anyway and gives away ya ISP unless ya encrypted it so I wonder why the VPN in the middle here?
There is tech attached to it though that can do more.
Provided it keeps no data and minimal logs as law requires it.
there is no off grid or use Tails and even then the MAC of pc and trash on it from public pc..
And free, the code is open source.

I’m seeking for a dude or dudette named Ben who can enlighten my electronically retarded self about a security cam question I have.
I installed an NVR reolink system in my home, works great but… what I’m wanting to do is install a compatible cellular camera on my property 50 miles away and patch it in through my NVR system at home to see it on my Tv. The robot answering questions on Amazon says it’s not doable but I think it is, perhaps I’m wrong.

@raintrees
It would cost $14 a month for a data plan. 4g network. I can monitor it through the phone via a reolink app, but since I have a reolink NVR system hooked up to the interwebs, I figured I could punch in the camera’s IP address and password and should hook up.

here we see the violence in the system being dismantled.

keep on. stand your ground. defy their crooked ploys and pretences of necessity of their extortion.

#CouncilTax #PollTax #IllegalTax #UnlawfulTax #unlawful #lawful


here follows (with my emphasis in bold) a paste of the latter part of the article:

The tide has officially turned, you heard it here first🫸🏼🌊


The winter solstice marks the point in the year where there is maximum darkness 🌒and we can look forward to increased light as the year moves on, and this new ruling certainly changes the balance of power as it gives us all ammunition in the fight back against unlawful government tyranny. All are equal under the law.

The above were all settled in the recent case of Leighton v Bristow [2023] J90SA002 in the High Court of Justice Kings Bench Division by His Honour Judge Harrison where at paragraph 45 the claimant was awarded damages of £4000.00 and in this case if you fail to cease and desist you will have met the criteria for Harassment which may result in up to the same amount again and aggravated damages may also apply. In addition costs of 50% were also awarded to Leighton.

Clarification: please note that apart from bailiffs, the council have other remedies to enforce council tax such as attachment of earnings orders, property charges and potentially prison, however a recent House of Commons committee has resolved to look at these issues to ensure that councils are enforcing matters in a more compassionate and evenhanded way and changes are planned for 2024…

At the time of this amendment which is Christmas Day 2023 a video explaining this has reached 100,000 views in one day! and therefore this demonstrates that this subject is regarded by the public in the same way that the discredited poll tax was. A video discussing it by a DIY lawyer trying to distract from the core issue by dealing with strawman arguments has half as many views and the majority of the comments express sympathy with the defendants and frustration with the injustice perpetrated on normal people. It would seem obvious that the people demand a more equitable system from their public servants and that this corruption has gone on for too long.

The thing that led to the pax being withdrawn was that many people simply stopped paying it and it became unenforceable. There are now thousands of people pushing back against councils and it will not be long before the same tipping point is reached.

Disclaimer: This article is not to be construed as legal advice and you are advised to take your own legal counsel based on your own particular circumstances and not act upon the information given here.


"many people simply stopped paying it and it became unenforceable. "


And, newsflash, in case you missed it (and they do desperately want you to miss it),

council tax is now unenforceable.


It's not just the dutifully scrutinous who've sussed it's illegal.
(and whom, in being "ahead of their time" so, thus suffer being dismissed, even smeared with adhominem slurs like "conspiracy theorist" (... which never makes sense).)

This awareness is reaching both the wider public, and (as depicted in that article) the various levels of public servants too.

No time for resting on high hopes hopium, nor succumbing to placatium or copium. These are more disempowering than enabling to carry on with. Get the good feels of seeking the wins for the good, your own, or others. There's a healthier hope out there that does not disable you, but enables you. Get that right dose of real hope, to move you. No time for resting on the dis-empowering tragic hope of inaction.

Nows when to keep standing your ground, and heck, even do whatever healthy good you can to help topple the corruption safely, for the benefit of each and all. 😀

Ask the council, is "Council Tax"
1. payment for services/products/goods/property...
* * and therefor, what goods? _____________
2. punishment for convicted crime
* * and therefor, what crime? _____________
3. extortion.

If they are not satisfactorily forthcoming, their presumed claim of your "obligation" (~if you can even ever find them overtly make such a claim, rather than just con you into giving the money of your own (conned) volition~), on even shakier grounds.

If they are observably, historically, evidently in breach of their Duty of Care [Law], (to whichever level (incompetence [probably lose their job (or at very least, retrained or demoted)]; neglegence [can be criminal]; intent [always criminal]), then this too points to, you absolutely should not be paying them. ... Seems to pay, is to put yourself in complicity with their crimes... you were paying them to commit those crimes, in a sense. Certainly, once you know they're misusing, or extorting, you're either/both complicit and/or a victim of extortion (and more... )

as mentioned in irc earlier:

loadsa peeps are striving to point out its ilegality by other case law and legislation... i think it's simpler than that. it is blatant hostile terrorising extortion, in the very words and methods they use. it's fraud, harrasment, breach of duty of care, and treason. it is criminal through and through and through.


And we do not need to keep doing it.

We got rid of the injust Poll Tax. We can get rid of the injust Council Tax. We are getting rid of the Coundil Tax. You can help. Easiest way, do nothing. ;) So much of your life back in your hands once you do that. Your money, your confidence, your empowerment, your levity of mood...

Not saying it'll all be sunshine and daisies for everybody. And I sure am not giving legal advice. Just putting ideas out there for consideration.

So, please, do, #consider.

😀

Council Tax is said to establish a “statutory obligation,” meaning an obligation to pay someone, which seems to emerge without a clear basis.


Yuh. Statutes. Are not law. They may carry the force of law. But they are not law. They are statutes. A statutory obligation, is not a lawful obligation.

newsletter.martingeddes.com/p/…

More seriously, by conjuring up a charge for the innate right to seek shelter, Council Tax substitutes a failed levy on breathing for one on staying warm and dry. “No matter what your circumstances, you need to go out and work for someone, and give away all the money you earn, in order not to be made cold, hungry, or homeless by violent force.” This is a form of bonded labour or debt slavery, and is immoral, being the typical behaviour of human traffickers. It is equally wrong when legislated into being, since we are not property of the state. Parliament is constitutionally constrained not to act to the detriment of the people, and coercing you to pay for inalienable rights is not within its delegated powers.


and more good bits in that article too.

Some are responding to this video from B'Tselem by criticizing the group for only now saying Israel is committing genocide

To them I say drop your self-righteousness.

I would have liked B'Tselem to say this earlier, but it's not so easy for an Israeli group that's under constant attack from its own government. The important thing is that they are saying it now. That's more important than being right 21 months ago. You can download the report and watch the video here:

Looking for a Desktop Environment recommendation for my Mother's new 2-1 laptop.


My mother has never daily driven a laptop more recent than a nearly decade old macbook running macOS Sierra. (except, briefly, a quite nice work-provided windows laptop that she hated using.)

She is, however, about to buy a 2025 Lenovo Yoga 7 14", and wants to use linux on it.

As the designated "techy person" in my family, I have been tasked with choosing which distro to put on it. I chose fedora it supports modern hardware nicely, and it's what I use, which would make tech support easier.

What I'm not sure about is what desktop environment she should use. I'm currently split between GNOME and KDE, since they're the two that are the most polished and work the best on the kind of hardware she'll be using.

She seems to prefer a more traditional desktop paradigm (dislikes overly flattened ui's and autohiding ui elements like scrollbars), but given she's not very techy and currently uses an iphone and ipad quite a bit, so gnome might feel more friendly with how simple it is, and be a bit more touch-friendly.

I asked her and she's not sure either, so I'm asking here which one is might be better given the hardware and the preferences she's expressed.

#WNBA
From Andrea Widburg at American Thinker:
Before feminism took over America, women routinely reported a high level of happiness in their marriages, their homes, and their communities. And then they started coming “a long way, baby,” and their happiness quotient dropped. While women were generally happier than men in the 1950s, today, women report being significantly less happy than men. …
WNBA women—bitter, race-obsessed, often man-hating—might have been a whole lot happier were they “cooking” for a family in [a] 1950s kitchen.

The Cruelty Free Kitchen is still operating in Gaza. Since the end of the ceasefire they have been the only source of water and food for many of the refugees in the camp. They still need support to purchase water and the most basic of ingredients such as lentils and rice.

"Over the 20th century, the federal government has assumed a vast and unprecedented set of powers. Not only has the exercise of those powers upset the balance between federal and state governments; run roughshod over individuals, families, and firms; and reduced economic opportunity for all; but most of what the federal government does today -- to put the point as plainly and candidly as possible -- is illegitimate because done without explicit constitutional authority…

'No Proof Hamas Routinely Stole U.N. Aid, Israeli Military Officials Say.
Israel has long restricted aid to Gaza on the argument that Hamas steals it to use as a weapon of control over the population.'

Every Israeli accusation is a confession.

'For nearly two years, Israel has accused Hamas of stealing aid provided by the United Nations and other international organizations. The government has used that claim as its main rationale for restricting food from entering Gaza.

But the Israeli military never found proof that the Palestinian militant group had systematically stolen aid from the United Nations, the biggest supplier of emergency assistance to Gaza for most of the war, according to two senior Israeli military officials and two other Israelis involved in the matter.

In fact, the Israeli military officials said, the U.N. aid delivery system, which Israel derided and undermined, was largely effective in providing food to Gaza’s desperate and hungry population.'

Yeah yeah, I know. Some people can't accept being shown wrong so they just block instead.

The text you quoted also explained how you in no way need to be worried about an 18 million pound fine.

Maybe you should research topics better before posting false statements in public if you can't accept getting corrected?
