Not that they surrendered, but that they had no more options, sooner or later they were going to capitulate, they were economically asphyxiated. Dropping nuclear bombs on them was totally disproportionate.
The first bomb I can't tell you but the second bomb was 100% for experimental purposes since the first one on Hiroshima was enriched uranium and the one on Nagasaki was plutonium. In the second bomb, the plutonium one, they simply wanted to prove that it worked and it was much cheaper than the uranium one.
Nothing because he was a statist.
But a lot of lies have been told about World War II in general.
- The 10/14 million Germans who died after the war are omitted.
- They omit the Allied concentration camps, including in the U.S. where over 120,000 Japanese were interned.
- The number of dead Jews is inflated.
- It omits all the massacres carried out by the Allies such as the bombing of Dresden.
- It omits all the times that Germany tried to sign the peace and the British refused.
- It omits the banking interests and pressures by certain banking lobbies to start the war, since Hitler created his own pattern, the labor pattern, outside the central bank system.
You only have to see that the U.S. dropped nuclear bombs on civilians in a totally surrendered state like Japan and they boast about it.
It is not a matter of being in favor of what Hitler did or what the allies did, it is a matter of telling history as it happened and realizing that there are no good guys and bad guys, it is all about interests.
Everyone waiting for the cpi data knowing that it is a falsified data.
In other words, everyone waiting for the cpi data to be low so that assets go up justifying money printing knowing that inflation is really on the rise 😂.
Clown world is little.
And now I will tell you something you may not be prepared for.
Neither Hitler was as bad as we were told, nor the Allies were as good as we were told.
You will be smart enough to know that I am not defending statists, but studying history and reading gives you a different perspective from the official propaganda.
If you've wasted time studying what happened in WWII, you'll know that the "allies" are executing the same strategy on Russia.
They have a problem though, Putin is a history geek.

Also many innocent Germans died at the side of the Allies, in your case you are moved by feelings and you will never be biased.
I stand by my position, some were not so bad and others not so good, in the end they were all bad because they are states.
War sucks for everyone, accept it.
How to manage natural and other disasters.
As individuals we can take advantage of statism to plan and manage natural disasters. This is applicable to other facets of life.
Statism due to a lack of incentives, or rather a total lack of them, is the perfect counter-indicator.
If the state tells you that a super catastrophe is coming almost 100% that it will be nothing, if the state tells you that nothing will happen almost 100% that it will be a super catastrophe.
Add to this the information or rather disinformation of the media.
Practically statism has predicted all major events if we multiply them by -1.
Some practical examples:
- Katrina (total failure in predictions)
- COVID (total lie)
- Bitcoin
Keep your eyes open and use statism to your advantage.
No, with coinjoins it is not enough to use tor alone, because if so, they are vulnerable to tagging attacks.
Monero is basically a coinjoin, if you don't use different tor circuits for inputs and outputs you are vulnerable.
“1. Run a large number of xmr nodes from various geographical locations and ISPs to capture transaction ip address and time stamps. 2. Transaction feed (ip and everything) from one or more popular wallets’ default nodes.”
This image belongs to the chainalysis video where they say they can trace Monero transactions. As you can see in a blockchain you need privacy at the chain level and at the network level.
If one of the two fails you have no privacy. It's quite complicated to get privacy, it's not as easy as using tor either, you also have to mitigate time analytics.
To mitigate it you need:
- use Tor
- Different circuits for each operation
- Add delays to mitigate timing analysis attacks.
If on top of that you connect to a centralized server without all these precautions, the privacy chain is useless. All of you who used Samourai's tools simply threw your money away.
https://m.primal.net/LQtl.pnghttps://m.primal.net/LQuH.png
Right, whirpool has never been a blind coordinator as it was sold, it could associate all the inputs and outputs through the ip, even using tor.
It doesn't matter if you use an anonymous ip, if you use the same ip all the inputs and outputs are associated no matter how many coinjoin rounds you do.
It is literally useless, it all comes down to the good faith of the owners of the coordinator and also to the fact that they have not stored the logs.
The labeling attack could be done by the coordinator, i.e. the samourai guys.
This means that if they were bad actors they could decrypt the coinjoins, it also means that even if they were not bad actors if the coordinator was taken over by some 3 letter agency (knowingly or unknowingly) they could perform the attack themselves and it also means as has happened that if an agency seizes the coordinator's server and they have not deleted the logs it can also be decrypted.
So it is all a matter of faith. Other coordinators and coinjoin methods have this problem mitigated.
Do you know the difference between a toxic Bitcoin Maximalist and a monero follower?
The maximalist Bitcoiner tells you to fuck off but doesn't harass you, the monero follower harasses you.
Dude, if you want to use monero use it, but don't be harassing me for days, I don't care what you do with your life, like if you want to use seashells.
If this is the strategy you have for people to use monero, you have it really hard.
It seems you need to convince yourself that monero is good money.
Again I repeat, use it, save on monero, but fuck, don't bully me, I will never use monero man.

There goes my psyop of the day.
Peter Todd known for agreeing with spam on the Bitcoin chain and wanting to increase the supply of Bitcoin has now decided to release a core fork called libre relay that has no spam filter.
Right in the same timeline they release the documentary and say that Peter is Satoshi.
It's a stupid theory yes, but it gives food for thought, the 3 letter agencies are that insightful.
How much we miss Mircea Popescu 😢.
"Perhaps something called libertarianism, having renounced the last ties it had to freedom after promising to achieve it through statism, will be the next magic potion offered by the State's confidence men to maintain our sanctions."

Here we can see how the Wabisabi client manages Tor identities during the coinjoin process.
DefaultCircuit: Circuit used for connections that do not require isolation, such as price queries or software updates.
SingleCircuitPerLifetime: Circuit created for inputs.
NewCircuitPerRequest: Independent circuits created for each output.
This is essential to have network privacy and not to be able to link inputs and outputs. Samourai or sparrow with whirpool would never have any kind of tor circuit management.

About coinjoin coordinators.
There is a difference to be made between privacy on-chain and privacy at the network level.
Even if you have chain privacy you can tag the addresses with their respective ips and trace the user. Obviously this can only be done by the coordinator.
This is why Samourai and Whirpool have always sucked.
Whirpool:
- If you used the mobile wallet without your node, the coinjoin was useless because your public keys were exposed to the backend and with them all your past, present and future addresses.
- If you used your own node or sparrow it was also of little use, since both samourai and sparrow reuse the tor circuit, they only generate a new one if you close the application, and therefore the coordinator can tag the incoming and outgoing addresses at the time of registration and ruin the coinjoin. Whirpool has never been zerolink, the coordinator knew everything.
Wabisabi:
- It creates new connections for both input and output addresses, so the coordinator sees distinct identities, although I think it has flaws in its design due to the delay. We can consider it to be zerolink, at least they tried and were honest.
Joinmarket:
- Since there is no centralized coordinator it is much less important to create new tor circuits for each connection, still the coordinator (the taker) will know the ips of the incoming and outgoing addresses. I don't know if they are mitigating this in any way.
Joinstr:
- Use Riseup VPN for logging, everyone uses the same VPN, there is no possibility of tagging inbound and outbound addresses across relays.
Well, despite what Samourai's followers say, Wabisabi offers a good level of privacy, both at the chain and network level.
With Joinmarket you can achieve a good level of privacy as long as you alternate the roles of maker and taker.
With joinstr you get very good privacy.
All three methods are valid, with Lightning you get a good level of privacy as a sender.
With swaps you get a good level of privacy as well as long as you use tor.
So it all comes down to trust in a third party, neither in cryptography nor in privacy can you trust a third party.
And more so when there are coinjoin implementations that have mitigated these problems.
There is no excuse, hence the stupidity of the samourai cult, something totally irrational by people who don't have the technical knowledge to understand these things.
I repeat again, they reuse the circuits, in the same documents it is said that it should not be done, in practice they do it. Again, check the code, check what tor does.
And the code honestly is crap and poorly structured.
Here we can see how the Wabisabi client manages Tor identities during the coinjoin process.
DefaultCircuit: Circuit used for connections that do not require isolation, such as price queries or software updates.
SingleCircuitPerLifetime: Circuit created for inputs.
NewCircuitPerRequest: Independent circuits created for each output.

In joinstr the coordinator is the nostr relay, the vpn will only know that you are connecting to a relay.
The relay will not be able to correlate inbound and outbound because all clients will use the VPN IP addresses.
This is a simple option to avoid having to deal with tor circuits.
I am not the creator of joinstr, I am just saying why the creator has used the VPN option. The protocol is not even on mainnet and as far as I know, using tor circuits is an expected improvement.
I am aware that the right approach is wabisabi's. My post was mostly to emphasize whirpool's disastrous design in managing network connections.

"It was revealed this weekend that Chinese hackers managed to access systems run by three of the largest internet service providers (ISPs) in the US.
What’s notable about the attack is that it compromised security backdoors deliberately created to allow for wiretaps by US law enforcement …"
When did they remove the backdoors from apple devices? isn't the NSO group (Pegasus) in cahoots with apple? 😂

In Spain more than 4000 human beings commit suicide every year and the trend continues to rise, especially men, it is a drama that the media hide from the population. Not a single ministry or aid to mental health, not that I am a supporter of aid, but the hypocrisy is annoying.
For example, about 40 women a year die at the hands of their partners, and for this there is a ministry and more than 20,000 million euros of budget, the cancer of modern feminism.
In domestic accidents more than 300 people die every year, so that you realize that in Spain women who die at the hands of men is a derisory problem.
And I have doubts that the figure of 4000 suicides is true because in the last 4 years I have witnessed 4, and the last two recent ones barely 6 months apart.
The system is a steamroller.
Never give up, until the last day.
Even if there is no more hope it is your obligation as a man not to give up, face reality, face hardship, face death, for there to be light there must be darkness, you just have to hold on until the light appears again.

I have never believed in the Kalergi plan, but like all conspiracies maybe it was true, I am living it in my own flesh.
It is true that it is the plan of most European governments to save pensions, but it will not work, just look at France.
Here is an interesting video.
