I am pondering our population and our human response to it. I see pro-abortionists wanting to kill babies. I see eugenicists wanting to inject us with poison. I see military wanting to savagely bomb other human beings out of existence. And I am thinking, perhaps the real problem with our population isn’t the exhaustion of resources or pollution, perhaps it is that when human life becomes so plentiful, it looses all it’s value.
Very interesting. I was leaving Facebook, searching for platforms and found Diaspora, and it reminded me of the group of speakers I used to work with at our conferences. One was The Open Source Conference, and that was a collection of very interesting speakers and attendees. I miss them. I was the Operations Manager of our tech media company, in charge of putting on conferences. I am going to take some time to check out your site. Thanks!
All together, in 200 years, the three you stupidly attack did not kill 1% the people that your beloved Socialists did in 72 (1917-1989). Instead of that, they produced goods and services and distributed them widely all around the world; allowing Humanity to increase it's number, the expectancy and quality of life for the great majority. Unlike your beloved socialists, that terrified and hungered thousands of millions everywhere they installed your infeccious ideas.
@Eldo Lappe No they didn't produce ANYTHING except DEBT, they loaned fake money to people and COLLECTED REAL money in the form of interest, and this is how they've been sapping the world economies. And when they can't loan enough, they start wars and then lend to both sides. Yes a generous lot these bastards are. And I am NOT a socialist. I favor capitalism, but with real money that nobody is skimming.
@Eldo Lappe Hwy whatever you are, I'm 62, I grew up when they actually taught history instead of butt-sex in school. One of the things we learned is how well Communism works, like for example the Bolshevik Revolution where between 25 million and 100 million Russians died as a result. It is invariably ALWAYS a failure.
@Eldo Lappe If they tax hydrocarbons and allow the UN Agenda 21 to succeed, everyone is going to make it into the poor and sick corner. A robust economy requires a robust energy supply and hopefully green energy can eventually provide that. Right now wind is 1/5th the cost of lignite, the lowest quality and cost form of coal, and solar 1/10th, so the financial incentives are already there and more than half of all new electrical generation in the world has come in the form of renewables. Putting a tax on fossil fuels will only hurt the economies, slow the adoption of new technology because necessary venture capital won't be available, and drive the poor into starvation.
Excuse me for misunderstanding your age. On my behalf I must say that, as it has been largely demonstrated in your comments, age doesn't mean maturity, nor having victimized children teaching them decreases your personal ignorance; daughter of your ideology and prejudice.
It doesn't matter what the tale they inserted into you says, History is what it is, Capitalism is the way Humanity reached to deserve the name (human) and Socialism is the worst shit social and economic system invented until today.
About Israel: it is obvious that you eat shit and burp farts.
There's no worst genocide than the Islamic. They have murdered themselves for religious issues since the 7th Century, reaching to more than 11 million and counting.
The genocides in Israel's area are Hamas, Islamic Yihad, ISIS and Hezballah, and there is plenty information about it wherever you look for. I have been for more than a month in Israel and people of all religion, races and political ideas live together, peacefully and with all the human rights in the Chart. Tell me where in the tens of countries and 1800 inhabitants islamic world, you can say something similar at least.
Human roghts Agencies confirm that Jews (that never started a war, unless you considere the Raise of Bar Kojba against the Roman Empire, in 163 BC), have killed less than 20.000 Arabs since 1917, when they started to violently defended themselves of the wild attack of Arabs. In just two weeks, in September 1970, King Hussain 1º of Jordan, murdered more than 10.000 and left 15.000 badly injured in an operation against so called "palestinians", because he couldn't seat anymore: that inflated had his royal balls by your inocent "genocided". There's planty info about the reasons to acto so brutally with his Arab "brothers".
Besides, in case of existing, it would be a really bad conducted genocidium. At least considering that when all this started they were a few tens of thousands and now they are several millions crowding Gaza and Cisjordan, for joy of terrorists of Hamas and Fatah.
By the way: the Palestinian People does not exist. You cannot distinguish them from the other Arabs (that are a People with a single Culture). PP was invented by the Arab League in 1967, as everyone can know just reading here
1) I told you I have been there. Besides, I read independent sources. I don't feed my knowledge nor opinions in Wikipedia or partisan memes.
2) Tell the author to present it in Palywood. Perhaps they hire him to illustrate script fake news about wild Jews slaugthering innocent "palestinians".
3) If you want to know what happens in Gaza, start here.
@Eldo Lappe Glad to hear. Honestly, I have strong reason to believe followers of the Talmud are not real, as in decedents of Jacob, Jews anyway. But that said, facebook receives protection as a common carrier therefore under the law should not be in the business of censorship, yet they are.
Reading you deserves just a short comment: ¿Yes? My Granny used to raise chicken. But... you deserve more.
That you have reasons to believe that your ass is the roman Colosseum is a right of yours. But you cannot deny a milenar People's existance on such basis.
On the contrary, I can prove what I say, using the own words of four shitty arabs you surely love.
It is a renovated pleasure to show to everyone that appears your magnificent ignorance.

""When, in 1948, the State of Israel was created in the part of the territory that belonged to the Jews according to the Partition Decree, it was not the Palestinians, who did not exist, who opposed it and promised to throw the Hebrews into the sea, but the Arab League.
In 1956 Ahmed Shukari, ambassador of the Arab League to the UN, had expressed this forcefully:
"A creation like Palestine does not exist at all. That land is nothing more than the southern part of Greater Syria.".
In 1970, Arafat explained to journalist Oriana Fallaci: "The question of borders does not interest us (...) From the Arab point of view, Palestine is nothing more than a drop in a huge ocean. Our nation is the Arab nation, which extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea and beyond. The PLO is fighting Israel in the name of Pan-Arabism. What you call Jordan is nothing but Palestine.
In 1977 Zahir Muhsein, spokesman and member of the PLO leadership representing the organization Al Saiqa, declared in an interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw
"The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means to continue our struggle against the State of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality, there are no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak of the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we postulate the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. Jordan, which is the sovereign state that defined borders, cannot claim Haifa and Jaffa. As a Palestinian, I can certainly claim Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, from the moment we claim our rights over all of Palestine, we will not lose a minute in uniting Palestine and Jordan".
Faithful to the racist tradition that led him to perpetrate the Hebron massacre of 1929 and other massive pogroms in the following years, faithful to the old friendship that united him with Hitler and led him to organize for him the 13th SS Handschar Mountain Division (a favor returned by the Führer with the murder of 400,000 Jews who were originally to be sent to Palestine), in 1947 the Mufti of Jerusalem, Amin el Husseini, Arafat's uncle, said before the special UN committee for Israel
"An additional consideration of great importance to the Arab world is racial uniformity. The Arabs lived in a wide strip that extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean. They speak one language and share common history, traditions and aspirations. Their unity was the solid foundation for peace in one of the most important and sensitive regions of the world. For this reason, it makes no sense for the United Nations to facilitate the establishment of a foreign entity within such a deep-rooted unity."
@Eldo Lappe the Jews have been re-writing history for a long time. The modern State of Israel did not exist until May 14th, 1948 and ever since they've been granted a state by the UN they've been terrorizing all their neighbors and stealing their land.
Jews seem to think Hitler attacked them out of the blue because he was just evil.
This is rather like the repainting of US history to make the attack of Perl Harbor seem unprovoked.
The Truth is that ALL conflicts have two sides, attacks are not unprovoked, and if the Jews continue the same behavior it's going to result in the same outcome.
@baptist_joshua_on_youtube Bull, they've gone way beyond the original borders. Doing the same things and expecting different results in the very definition of insanity.
@baptist_joshua_on_youtube that is a problem given who owns Google, one can't expect unbiased results there, that's for sure. But let's assume it's not, let's just go to the Talmud. What does its say? The goyim are as cattle and we are to be treated as such? Why would God "choose" a people when he created all of us?
I've watched videos of them bulldozing houses while the families were still in the house. I've seen them shoot children for throwing stones. These are not the behaviors of civilized human beings.
They own all the major broadcast media in the US, the media that does nothing but LIE LIE LIE. Now they want to support a takeover of our country. I want to see peace in the world, I want to see everyone get along. But I don't see how this can happen when you have a group that believes it's their God given right and duty to enslave the world.
@baptist_joshua_on_youtube And anyone can deny their evilness. You tell me everything is fake except what you've seen, provide no evidence, why should I believe what you are saying is fake over other peoples actual videos?
@baptist_joshua_on_youtube Again, nobody attacks someone else just out of the blue. It was the lock on the German economy that caused Hitler to do what he did and he wouldn't have had the support of the German people if they had not been suffering at the hands of Jewish bankers who are now doing the same thing to the US and most of the world, and when they piss us and the rest of the world off enough who is going to come to their rescue?
@baptist_joshua_on_youtube I agree there are evil and nice and Hitler failed to make that distinction, only those who follow the Talmud, and I would go even further, those that follow specific very evil verses and don't look at the whole context, were involved in the evil. Specifically, the Bible commands NOT to charge Usary, but the Talmud says OK to charge Goyim (non-Jews) Usary, and they are doing so, to almost the entire world, sapping the worlds economy just as they did Germanys. But the "nice" Jews have an obligation to police their own and they aren't doing it and so they can expect goyim will not make that distinction again and there will be more bloodshed.
@Robbie I didn't scapegoat the entire group, I just got through saying there are evil and nice, however, when you look at people on the top of the evil stack, more often than not they are Jewish, every single major broadcast network is owned by Jews, most of the banks are owned by Jews, most of big data is owned by Jews, and I will readily grant you these people might be .01% of the population but they are patently evil and need to be de-throwned. It shouldn't be too hard to understand how anyone who believes they are "God's chosen people" are going to be at odds with everyone else.
@Robbie They may not have a monopoly but they certainly have a great deal of influence at the top, like I said all five major networks, pretty much all of big data and most of the larger banks, a disproportionally large representation in Congress with 29 House members holding dual Israeli-US citizenship, and between these things they can pretty much control everything. It might be a very small percentage of the Jews that are these monsters, but a very large percentage of these monsters are Jews. Not sure what to make of that relationship, is it a genetic disposition or what?
Why would God choose anyone so patently evil. For that matter, if God is perfect, and pretty much every major religion I know of starts with this assumption, why would he have created mistakes or choose one of his creations over the other? I think when you consider that the Talmud is an ancient Babylonian document, and that they worshipped Baal and would throw infants onto red hot alters, I'm kind of thinking this particular document explains a lot, but also the idea that you are God's chosen in some peoples mind perhaps gives them permission to behave in less than ethical ways. Forgive the hook-nosed stereotypical Jew in this graphic, it is the text that I really want to draw to attention, not all Jews follow the Talmud, many follow what is essentially the old Testament of the Bible under various names, but you an not follow both because they are at odds with each other, but look at the text, those that DO follow the Talmud, you can understand where their ethical issues arise. That said, this text also takes things out of context and you can get a lot of evil out of the Bible and probably any other major religious document if you take it out of context. But one area that I think is particularly succinct relates to "Usary", the charging of Interest, the Bible commands not to, but the Talmud allows it but only for Goyim, non Jews, and it is through this mechanism that a handful have amassed so much power and wealth. But it's not exclusively Jews, there is certainly plenty of evil among British royalty for example.
I shall answer. Not for the biped brick that posted and commented (from now on, Mr. Brickman) but for the smart people looking for the truth.
It is not the Jews who have been re-writing history for a long time: History is alive, and information betterizes the report. Every week Antropologist, Archeologists, etc. find new evidence. For instance, about Jewish presence in Judea from the Biblical times. By the way: that's the right name of the area, at least since the Jews won over the Cannaneans, and changed the name from Canaá to Judá (land of the Jews). That was 3000 years BC.
The modern State of Israel (as Mr. Brickman correctly names it) exists since May 14th, 1948 and ever since they’ve been under attack by their arab neighbours. Exactly since may 15th, 1948, when armies of seven countries entered through the four borders of the just born Country. That was the first time Israel defeated them all.
It is completely false that the israelis have been terrorizing all their neighbours and stealing their land.
As I said (and nobody refuted me, because it is impossible) Jews have never started any war. NONE. On the opposite, Arabs have terrorized Jews, from every corner of their borders, and that included the absurd division of Jerusalem, from whose high buildings they used to shoot Jews in the other side.
That happened until 1967, when -fighting back the arab attack- they took the whole Jerusalem, Gaza, Cisjordan, Half Galilee sea, Sinai, Golan heights and southern Lebanon under control.
Once they got those safe borders, they dedicated their efforts to build the modern Israel; a miracle garden of production, democracy, republic, freedom and integration, in the middle of a medieval dessert of darkness and terror.
Step by step, they have negotiated (first with Egypt and Jordan) signed agreements and abandoned the territories they had gained in war, as previously Egypt and Jordan, that suffered illegal occupation by them.
There's no "Palestinian" territory occupied today, but contested limits that include Samaria, etc.
Arabs denied the existence of the Jew State from the very beginning, and pressed their people to abandon Israel, from where nobody was forced to leave. That is the real origin, in 1948, of the so called "Palestinians", people that I have demonstrated does not exist, and was invented as for the Arab League in 1967.
Two times in History there were very advanced peace and territory negotiations (Camp David and Oslo), both sabotaged by the Arabs of the PLO, the gang of Arafat and Co. Everything was ready, but... they just don't need peace nor territories: they need an excuse to go on terrifying their own people (much more than Jews, who have demonstrated that they don't kill them all because they don not want to) and receiving rivers of money from stupid Europeans and Americans, and smart islamic Sheiks, that don't want them in their countries, because they are actually unbearable.
As a demonstration of good will, President Sharon left Gaza unilaterally in 2009, leaving the whole infrastructure to be used by the arabs. When they entered, burned everything up, and started to build tunnels and attack with rockets civil objectives in Israel.
Mr. Brickman says that "Jews seem to think Hitler attacked them out of the blue because he was just evil.". I don't know what they think, and it doesn't matter here. Nobody cares about what others think, be them Jews, Arabs or Zulus think. The one thing people should argue about, is facts and opinions. Suppositions are too similar than suppositories.
I won't speak about Pearl Harbour nor any other issue that Mr. Brickman brings: it is an extremely old tactic of not well prepared people that knows is being beaten to death, bring new issues without having answered anything. Only newbies fall into that poor trap.
Says Mr Brickman that "The Truth is that ALL conflicts have two sides,"
FALSE. There are plenty of conflicts with more sides, Syria, Crimea and Nagorno-Karabakh, for instance.
"attacks are not unprovoked,"
When you say that something is in a way, it is not enough to say it: YOU MUST PROOF IT!
And I don't see any proof that shows that any of the Arab attacks has any previous provocation, unless you accept that the sole presence of Israel is a provocation. In that case, you are fucking doomed.
"and if the Jews continue the same behavior it’s going to result in the same outcome."
So, if I understand well, if Jews insist in existing, they are going to be attacked for ever and ever.
That's what I wanted to demonstrate. Mr Brickman is a Judeophobic as phobia-stoned as you can find.
I strongly suggest not to lose the opportunity to observe a Nazi in action. Learn from the lesson: if you study little, you may get your brains dry like Mr. Brickman, and shame yourselves in public.
If you plan to refutate something, it is a very good time: my wrist gets tired going down and down with the mouse, and I only fiind judeophobia, whims, and drool revolted with no rhyme or reason.
I am here untill I decide to leave, and if you insist in farting through the keyboard, it will be for a very short time.
A weekly roundup of news, culture, and organizing from LaRouchePAC. International Investigative Commission on Truth in Elections
The Schiller Institute convened an “International Investigative Commission on Truth in Elections†which aired Saturday, November 28, 2020, featuring a panel of distinguished international jurists hearing reports from qualified Americans related to the ongoing electoral process in the United States. This is not a partisan issue. Some of the participants are, in their own political views, pro-Trump; some are anti-Trump. But what brings them together is a far greater issue: a concern over the universal importance of truth in elections, and the need to hold the United States to the same high standard as its own Constitution demands. Watch now >>> Explosive Developments in the President’s Countercoup
Friday, November 27, saw explosive developments in the fight to reverse the fraud through which the news media, the Democrats, and their intelligence community collaborators are trying to seat their Avatar, Joe Biden, as President of the United States. On Friday, Senators and Representatives in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the keystone state, announced that they will move legislation on Monday, November 30, to decertify the election and reclaim the Constitutional authority given to the state legislatures to directly appoint the state’s electors to the Electoral College. This news comes just two days after stunning hearings held in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, during which hours of testimony revealed the manifold levels of fraud in the election. As the legislators told the audience at the beginning of those hearings, the hearings themselves were the product of tens of thousands of telephone calls coming from constituents who knew the election had been stolen or who had personally witnessed outright fraud. Senator Doug Mastriano, who is leading the effort, asked Pennsylvania citizens to help by calling on their state representatives to join the effort.

by Judy Hodgkiss
In the fight for this victory for Trump, we see among these legislators a quality of soul searching not seen among politicians for decades, perhaps a century or more. They are being confronted with fundamental questions concerning the genius and the morality embedded in the U.S. Constitution; they find themselves tasked with writing a chapter in a new edition of Profiles in Courage.
It is that production of a different kind of politician that reveals, in fact, the essence of the meaning of a republic. It is not just a negative definition, i.e., the negation of mob democracy. A successful republic depends on the rise, out of the cauldron of the political fray, a quality of leadership that is not just defined by the politician’s usual search for a majority of votes.
If the Biden voter of good will is able to appreciate that definition of republic, and resist clinging to the dirty dishpan of a tainted election, then he will help us to make the U.S. electoral system and its underlying republican structure, once again the marvel of the world. Learn more >>> The President Is Fighting on Multiple Fronts; Do You Know About Them?
by Barbara Boyd
If there is anything we have learned in watching Donald Trump, it is that he does not think linearly—while his morally and mentally challenged opponents almost always do. Our observation is that the President is marking territory for the upcoming fights his Administration and his movement will undertake in the ongoing second American Revolution—the revolt of the population which won a major advance in November 2016. To grasp this, compare what the President is doing and what those who control the senile Joe Biden are telling you they will do. We refer to Biden here, and will do so persistently into the future for any pretensions that he will occupy the Office of the President of the United States, as "The Avatar", because he is not mentally capable of running anything and is instead being run openly by former President Barack Obama and Obama’s associates.

As always, thanks for following our work. If you've got any questions, or feedback, send it my way.Â
You should do a better job of checking your numbers.
"When comparing over the course of the full year, 2.84 million people died during all of 2019, and 2.83 million people died in 2018. By using the rate of deaths so far in 2020 and extrapolating through the end of the year (a simple projection), more than 3.1 million people will have died by December 31."
Well the author mispoke, said six weeks but actually less than that, and actually it's five weeks, and if you take deaths so far, 2,487,350 and extrapolate by dividing by 47 (number of weeks so far) and multiplying by 52 (number of weeks in a year) you come up with 2,751 961 deaths which is still less than the previous three years, and that negates all the deaths CAUSED by the lock downs.
Look even the claimed coronavirus deaths only amounts to 271,000 and you have to know that anyone who dies for any reason within 28 days of a false positive death is classified as Corona, this includes a guy that fell off a roof, another guy that drove his motorcycle into a tree at 130 MPH. Go to John Hopkins, look at the case curve for the US and it's a logarithmic incline yet when you look at the deaths, it's a flat line. How is this possible if the data isn't faked?
I, like all liberals, support worker s rights, higher wages, more of our tax dollars coming back to the workers, instead of the global corporate empire. What do you support?
Yes, poet1b, like all liberals (since you lump them altogether, I will too), you support things that sound great, but that is not what you are really supporting. The Democrats lie all the time, they will never lower your taxes. They are the global empire, they are just good at saying they are something else. They flock around at election times and tell you all the pretty lies, then they go away again to spend money. In the past 4+ years they have done nothing at all except obstruct and attack the President. I support America, and that means Trump for 4 more years.
Bullshit, he is the first President in my 62 years on this planet that has NOT started a war, instead brokering peace agreements, brought manufacturing jobs back to our country and brought poverty to an all time low. Fortunately we'll have Biden to revive the Military-Industrial-Espionage Complex and Bring those Body Bag factories back to life while we go back to abject poverty.
I like the way you attack the messenger instead of the message, because you know what I say is true. I guess you won't be happy until you're in your little Agenda 21 6x8 foot apartment jail eating a GMO vegan diet, without central heating, cooling, or any transportation. You are undoubtably a product of the modern school system that is too busy teaching butt-sex to spend any time on history and things like the Bolshevik revolution and how that worked out.
Yes the budget for everything is up, with a bunch of communists trying to dissolve our country we need a good defense. Much better NOT to have people killed than to show up for their burial.
Well yes he did assassinate a foreign terrorist, one that had been responsible for tens of thousands of deaths. I would hardly describe myself as flailing, but again when you don't like the message, attack the messenger right? Well this one retaliates. I know you are a deep state shill, that's why there is ZERO info on your bio.
You haven't called out shit, all you've done is what deep state shills do, made up shit. You go to my bio, real info, go to yours, no info, because you're a fake.
@Kylo @Vee McMillen We'll just have to see how reality plays out. Either we'll prevail and we'll retain a democratic republic or we'll fail and be a China satellite 3rd world shit hole.
When you have a chaotic system, determining a trend is just a matter of picking time periods because it is chaotic. So you can make it look any way you want by picking time periods.
Every three years, the Copyright Office holds a rulemaking process where it grants the public permission to bypass digital locks for lawful purposes. In 2018, the Office expanded existing protections for jailbreaking and modifying your own devices to include voice-activated home assistants like Amazon Echo and Google Home, but fell far short of the broad allowance for all computerized devices that we’d asked for. So we’re asking for a similar exemption, but we need your input to make the best case possible: if you use a device with onboard software and DRM keeps you from repairing that device or modifying the software to suit your purposes, see below for information about how to tell us your story.
DMCA 1201: The Law That Launched a Thousand Crappy Products
Why is it illegal to modify or repair your own devices in the first place? It’s a long story. Congress passed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in 1996. That’s the law that created the infamous “notice-and-takedown” process for allegations of copyright infringement on websites and social media platforms. The DMCA also included the less-known Section 1201, which created a new legal protection for DRM—in short, any technical mechanism that makes it harder for people to access or modify a copyrighted work. The DMCA makes it unlawful to bypass certain types of DRM unless you’re working within one of the exceptions granted by the Copyright Office.
Suddenly manufacturers had a powerful tool for restricting how their customers used their products: build your product with DRM, and you can argue that it’s illegal for others to modify or repair it.
When the DMCA passed, manufacturers suddenly had a powerful tool for restricting how their customers used their products: build your product with DRM, and you can argue that it’s illegal for others to modify or repair it.
Section 1201 caught headlines recently when the RIAA attempted to use it to stop the distribution of youtube-dl, a tool that lets people download videos from YouTube and other user-uploaded video platforms. Fortunately, GitHub put the youtube-dl repository back up after EFF explained on behalf of youtube-dl’s developers that the tool doesn’t circumvent DRM.

Abuse of legal protections for DRM isn’t just a United States problem, either. Thanks to the way in which copyright law has been globalized through a series of trade agreements, much of the world has similar laws on the books to DMCA 1201. That creates a worst-of-both-worlds scenario for countries that don’t have the safety valve of fair use to protect people’s free expression rights or processes like the Copyright Office rulemaking to remove the legal doubt around bypassing DRM for lawful purposes. The rulemaking process is deeply flawed, but it’s better than nothing.
Let’s Tell the Copyright Office: Home Hacking Is Not a Crime
Which brings us back to this year’s Copyright Office rulemaking. We’re asking the Copyright Office to grant a broad exception for people to take advantage of in modifying and repairing all software-enabled devices for their own use.
If you have a story about how:
someone in the United States;
attempted or planned to modify, repair, or diagnose a product with a software component; and
encountered a technological protection measure (including DRM or digital rights management—any form of software security measure that restricts access to the underlying software code, such as encryption, password protection, or authentication requirements) that prevented completing the modification, repair, or diagnosis (or had to be circumvented to do so)
—we want to hear from you! Please email us at RightToMod-2021@lists.eff.org with the information listed below, and we’ll curate the stories we receive so we can present the most relevant ones alongside our arguments to the Copyright Office. The comments we submit to the Copyright Office will become a matter of public record, but we will not include your name if you do not wish to be identified by us. Submissions should include the following information:
The product you (or someone else) wanted to modify, repair, or diagnose, including brand and model name/number if available.
What you wanted to do and why.
How a TPM interfered with your project, including a description of the TPM.
What did the TPM restrict access to?
What did the TPM block you from doing? How?
If you know, what would be required to get around the TPM? Is there another way you could accomplish your goal without doing this?
Optional: Links to relevant articles, blog posts, etc.
Whether we may identify you in our public comments, and your name and town of residence if so. We will treat all submissions as anonymous unless you expressly give us this permission to identify you.
