Regimes never say “We want more police powers and less civil liberties”Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.Where we are in history? https://observablehq.com/@mbostock/bank-failuresWhere we are in the UK?https://twitter.com/UNHumanRights/status/1651517602001289217 https://inews.co.uk/opinion/most-draconian-assault-free-speech-living-memory-now-law-2313273 https://twitter.com/EuropeanPowell/status/1653156523198099457 https://twitter.com/premnsikka/status/1651596741542567937 https://twitter.com/BThroughParty/status/1653482565309812743ThoughtcrimeIntenthttps://twitter.com/ukhomeoffice/status/1653400122695487488Sun 21 May 2023 UPDATE: Previously they made protesting illegal Now they want to make strikes illegal too.The situation is rapidly evolving. I think the government is inspired and incentivized by the existing successes in pushing controversial legislation.With so many new bills - it is easy to forget about Online Safety Billhttps://signal.org/blog/uk-online-safety-bill/Previously: Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022https://twitter.com/marsxrobertson/status/1541852397747802112 It would be too much all at oncehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Order_Act_2023Measures previously rejected by the House of Lords in Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022, including banning individuals from protests, were reintroducedAt this point, is breaking the law the new OK? Compliance leads to AuschwitzNon-compliance leads to the Declaration of Independence and 🇺🇸I’m originally from 🇵🇱 WW1, WW2, many wars before that (Partitions of Poland), Warsaw Uprising, Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, Polish Underground State, Eastern Bloc, etc… https://youtu.be/gnd31Mru5JEHaven’t seen the movie, started reading the book. https://howtoblowupapipeline.film/ebookWe can have a conversation going on in a much bigger way…Mentioned throughout the book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ende_Gel%C3%A4nde I’m not inciting to violence Stop the stealPure theftTake back our countryGovernment propagandahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chairman_of_the_BBChttps://www.gov.uk/government/publications/public-order-bill-overarching-documents/public-order-bill-factsheetJudges are not helpful either– Fascist Judges – Fascism reaches the UK’s courts – Silas Reid Would Have Been Happy in Nazi Germany – The Curious Case of Judge Silas Reid (this very blog)Obey Disobeyhttps://extinctionrebellion.uk/the-big-one/what-next/Freedom of speech Freedom of thought Freedom of expression At this point, is breaking the law the new OK?

(that raises a question to what extent I should justify my approach / strategy / attitude) https://twitter.com/marsxrobertson/status/1649367581671714820 Chances are I will accomplish more in life by staying alive. That’s why the “it was worth it” policy applies. Self-immolations hardly get any press: https://twitter.com/marsxrobertson/status/1647233240497893376 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-immolation_of_Wynn_BruceThere are some wins thoughLawyers Are Responsible: https://www.lar.earth/ Declaration of Conscience: https://www.lar.earth/sign/It worked 💪https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12018121/Lawyers-refuse-prosecute-eco-activists-amid-climate-change-concerns.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cab-rank_ruleIn 2023, more than one hundred lawyers, including six KCs (King's Counsel), declared that they would not serve certain clients in light of the severe consequences of global warming.[9] [10] The BSB and The Bar Council immediately issued press releases reaffirming the nature and importance of the cab rank rule.[11][12] However, others have pointed out that there is already uneven access to justice despite the existence of the cab-rank rule.[13] There is also debate about exceptions to the rule, for example SLAPPs (strategic litigation against public participation) and sanctions relating to Russia.

At this point, is going to jail a fight for freedom? I think I would like to simplify and go to jail directly, saving myself the hassle of proving beyond a reasonable doubt."quantum-shapeshifting morphogenetic evidence"Now it exists… (if I can describe it, it means possible) UPDATE: Another criminal charge to the mix: https://twitter.com/marsxrobertson/status/1654544191974785026 UPDATE: I actually went to the hearing. https://mirror.xyz/dearmoon.eth/9GQTb7MLtNpDSxO-aaxFcn-jBO-k_6h7Ct_odCR_85MPolymorphic engine to mutate the code… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography https://twitter.com/David3141593/status/1057042085029822464 https://twitter.com/aantonop/status/603703321925394432 I’ve seen this technique somewhere in PoC || GTFO Would be fun to hack the system. BUT “bend not break” Not blowing up / burning down the parliament (yet) Not dying (yet) Not making jokes about the coronation that happens tomorrow (yet) At some point in the future, I may or may not, neither confirm nor deny make a retroactive joke. Sun 21 May 2023 UPDATE: Previously I made some historical references:Got some feedbackUltimately it was a sensationalist click-bait title. Ultimately I realized I do not want to be associated with certain historical figures.
