Evil Corley
Your Threat Model Just Changed



Hackers Then

"We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity."

    --- Quote from John Perry Barlow in A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace on February 8, 1996.


"Long live the underground!  When the underground is gone, when the people's will to resist overbearing government and kneejerk morality is gone...  Then, shall I be able to declare America dead."

    --- Quote from Jello Biafra, a frequent HOPE keynote speaker.


"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."

    --- Quote from George Orwell (Eric A. Blair [1903-1950])


"Anyone who stands up for what he believes in is an inspiration.  That's the spirit of a hacker, and it's the spirit of an individual."

    --- Quote from Evil Corley during an Off The Hook broadcast.  (I don't remember which one.)


"It's a question of freedom of speech, something that has stood up for the last couple hundred years, and I think the Internet should definitely continue the tradition."

    --- Quote from Evil Corley on Off The Hook, June 18, 1996.


"... Freedom of speech, on the other hand, is something that is universally sought after and recognized as valuable."

    --- Quote from a reply to a letter by William R. Epp in Vol. 18, No. 3.


"As you probably know it you've read our pages before, we have some major issues with entities who abuse power and intimidate individuals..."

    --- Quote from a reply to a letter by "anonymous" in Vol. 20, No. 2.


"Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth."

    --- Quote (paraphrased) from Albert Einstein used in Vol. 23, No. 1.


"The first condition of progress is the removal of censorship."

    --- Quote from George Bernard Shaw used in Vol. 33, No. 1.


"Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed.  Everything else is public relations."

    --- Quote from George Orwell used in Vol. 32, No. 1.


"If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.

    --- Quote from James Madison used in Vol. 22, No. 1.


"We may not like the message, we may not agree with it, but if what we allege to stand for is to have any value, we have to do everything possible to ensure it isn't silenced."

    --- Quote from Evil Corley in the editorial for Vol. 20, No. 1.


"9.) I will aid the voiceless in obtaining a voice and help them evade censorship so they too can enjoy the fundamental human rights of free speech."

    --- Quote from Ghost Exodus (Jesse McGraw) in his article "No Country for Incarcerated Hackers" in Vol. 35, No. 3


"Recognizing the content of the wikileaks.org website is the subject of concern to a variety of individuals and nations, we nevertheless believe it must be subject to the same laws and policies of availability as all Internet sites.  Free expression should not be restricted by governmental or private controls over computer hardware or software, telecommunications infrastructure, or other essential components of the Internet."

    --- Quote by The Internet Society (Mirror) from the article entitled "The Internet Society on the Wikileaks issue" in their membership newsletter.  (December 2010)


"We have learned a great deal in watching the reactions of our various leaders.  We see how the surveillance of so many aspects of our lives is supported by politicians of both parties and how deep the cover-up goes.  We also see how they have no problem changing the rules behind our backs to make these inexcusable actions 'legal.'  Shining the light on their subterfuge is about the most patriotic act we can think of."

    --- Quote from the editorial in Vol. 30, No. 3.


"We know that freedom of speech - even freedom in general - is considered by an increasing number to be subject to restrictive conditions in the interests of 'security.'  Never mind that total security is completely elusive.  There will always be someone claiming we can do better by closing off yet another avenue of activity, beliefs, or speech.  And simpletons, fueled by mass media hysterics, will continue to believe it.

    --- Quote from the editorial in Vol. 18, No. 4.


"Change does not come about from mindlessly following the rules.  That's how dictatorships are maintained.  Change is achieved through constant experimentation, the exchanging of ideas, and the freedom to do so.  A society that views such things with suspicion is one that is doomed to stagnate and eventually fall."

    --- Quote from the editorial in Vol. 22, No. 3.


"We may not like hate speech but it is within our rights to read it, listen to it, or watch it if we so desire."

    --- Quote from the editorial in Vol. 23, No. 3.

"By means of ever more effective methods of mind-manipulation, the democracies will change their nature; the quaint old forms -- elections, parliaments, Supreme Courts and all the rest -- will remain.  The underlying substance will be a new kind of non-violent totalitarianism.  All the traditional names, all the hallowed slogans will remain exactly what they were in the good old days.  Democracy and freedom will be the theme of every broadcast and editorial.  ...  Meanwhile the ruling (((oligarchy))) and its highly trained elite of soldiers, policemen, thought-manufacturers and mind-manipulators will quietly run the show as they see fit."

"But liberty, as we all know, cannot flourish in a country that is permanently on a war footing, or even a near war footing.  Permanent crisis justifies permanent control of everything and everybody by the agencies of the central government."

"At press time, Parler was no longer in service.  We're not mourning its loss and don't believe it ever offered anything of value.  We would certainly like to see alternative social media sites that aren't batshit crazy, as having everyone using only a couple of different sites is far from ideal."

    --- Quote from a reply to a letter by "Jason" in Vol. 37, No. 4.  Ironic, as $2600 is one of the most "batshit crazy" publications out there...


"Someone in this group reported me and got my account blocked for 24 hours over something that wasn't even that serious.  I'm unhappy about that and I've never ever had someone do something so petty."

"I keep getting muted from the 2600 group without explanation.  What am I doing wrong here?"

"Unfortunately, I've been blocked for seven days from posting for no apparent reason.  I would like to read the guidelines as suggested, but when I go to read them, it says the post has been removed or deleted.  Can someone please send me the guidelines and, if possible, tell me which I violated?  I thought I posted a supportive humorous meme, but I'd like to follow the rules."

    --- Letters in issue Vol. 37, No. 4 regarding censorship of posts (and users) on one of the $2600 Facebook groups.


"We believe in science.  We support removing fascists from platforms.  We want monopolies broke up.  And we demand accountability.  Saying these things really pissed a lot of people off.  So we're saying them again in case we missed anyone."

    --- Quote from a $2600 Twitter post in May 27, 2021.  $2600 Magazine openly attacks the scientific method; believes that MEN can become pregnant or turn into women if they grown long hair, wear lipstick, and chop off their pee-pee; thinks Chelsea Manning is an actual female; openly supported (and voted for!) the fascist (((Obama and Biden regimes))); profits from complaints about the government's mess of the (((breakup))) of the the Bell System or has never once mentioned the monopolistic & private "Federal Reserve" as they slowly increase the price of their magazine to $9 and the banks demand more "bailouts"; doesn't want anyone to show an ID to vote, but they do use IDs (and encryption) on their own computer networks.  And worst of all, has done NOTHING to expose the "accountability" of the FBI & Hillary Clinton's "Russian collusion hoax" or the FBI & Twitter's suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop and China COVID-19 origin stories, or all the other various Biden-family bribery schemes - all in order to affect the outcomes of the 2016, 2020, & 2024 presidential elections.


"... Nowadays, Off The Hook is filled with sycophants who dare not disagree with political views, no matter how misguided, or he will scream at them.  Literally.  The only personality brave enough to even attempt to disagree and reason with him at times is Alex (whom I applaud), but even his attempts are half-hearted and shouted down."

    --- Quote from a letter by "J.X." in Vol. 38., No. 3 discussing their views on what Off The Hook and $2600 have turned into.


"... Anthony Fauci is a good scientist.  Serious electoral tampering did not occur on the Democratic side (investigations into Trumpian tampering are ongoing on federal and state levels).  I don't say these things because I download my opinions from the mainstream media.  I say these things because of a compelling pattern of evidence from reputable sources..."

    --- Quote from a letter by "James" in Vol. 38, No. 2.  $2600's reply was: "Thank you for making these points better than we ever could."  All those statements "James" made are demonstrability false.  Dr. Fauci has been caught red-handed lying to Congress, the media, and the American people and actively covered-up his involvement in the creation of the China COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the potential deaths of millions.

Bernie Sanders actually won the Democrat primary nomination in Wisconsin (and in other states), and through the WikiLeaks' emails we now know that Hillary Clinton and the DNC basically stole the 2016 nomination from Bernie S.  And people think Trump is crazy for saying they stole the 2020 election too...

"'If you happened to walk in the Capitol on Jan. 6, (2021), you might get 10 years in prison,' [Rand] Paul said.  'But if you're responsible for funding research that led to a pandemic and killed 15 million people, and then you lied about it to Congress, then nothing happens to you.'"

    --- Quote from Rand Paul who filed a criminal referral against Anthony Fauci in July 2021 and again in July 2023 over the perjury claims.

"Comparing demonstrators and even common rioters to a President-led storming of the nation's Capitol building (Mirror) is a poor attempt to minimize the significance of the latter.  Blaming groups like Black Lives Matter for everything you dislike only shows how easily you can be convinced that people who are different from you are nothing short of pure evil."

    --- Quote from a reply to a letter by "pinkbathtowel" in Vol. 38, No. 1.  $2600 is trying to compare the deadly (((Black Lives Matter))) chimp-outs which caused billions of dollars in damage and killed at least 19 innocent people to the Constitutionally-protected Jan. 6 election integrity (unarmed!) protests where the only death was the result of an unqualified, affirmative action negro Capitol police officer killing an unarmed woman (and veteran) for no reason (and the assault and resultant death of motionless woman [Roseanne Boyland] on ground.)  Also, Mr. Trump had nothing to do with the "riot," as proven over-and-over again...

Also note that at HOPE X, $2600 praised the jewish supremacist and war-monger (((Emma Goldman ✡))) for being a "dissenter."  Really...  Emma Goldman is best known for helping plan the assassination of U.S. President McKinley (!) which set the stages for pushing the U.S. and Europe into (((World War 1 & 2))) resulting in the deaths of millions of innocent Gentiles, and the creation of private (((central banking ✡))) in the U.S.  I'm pretty sure that is a textbook definition of "pure evil," and just a tad bit worse than a bunch of people walking around the Capitol building with a police escort...

Also, I bet January 6, 2021 was the first time those traitorous assholes working in the U.S. government realized their boss was John Q. American and not Shlomo Shekelstein on Wall St.  BTW, George Floyd died from a fentanyl overdose and China COVID-19.

"And again, this fallacy that we're in favor of some sort of approved speech doctrine is a load of horseshit.  We will stamp out hate speech wherever we see it.  We will continue to shut down overt racism in every forum.  And we will not tolerate anti-democratic attempts to subvert legal elections and overthrow legitimate leaders or deny people the right to vote."

    --- Quote from a reply to a letter by "6NdLXzc2" in Vol. 38, No. 1.  $2600 REFUSES to stamp out hate speech on (((CNN ✡))) or (((MSNBC ✡))).  They also refuse to shut down overt racism by Steve Rombom ✡, Kevin Mitnick ✡, Chuck Schumer ✡, AOC ✡, etc., or even shutdown $2600 meetings in apartheid Israel.  They also refuse to condemn the phoney racially-motivated President Trump (((impeachment ✡))) hearings.  And don't expect them to stand-up to the anti-democratic attempts to subvert our elections by the Democrat Party, Hillary Clinton, Twitter, Facebook, FBI, and WEF!  And remember when Obama and his jew handlers overthrew a legitimate leader elected in Ukraine in 2014 (and also tried that in Syria!), and Evil Corley didn't say a single word about it?

"A number of our own readers in this issue's letters section expressed their outrage at our opinions on the matter in 37:4, which encouraged responsible providers on the Internet to stop hosting forums for movements that refused to acknowledge scientific facts or that advocated such actions as overturning democratic elections and installing unelected leaders (Mirror).  While we continue to believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, we don't subscribe to the belief that all opinions deserve the same platforms.  We believe providers have the right to determine what they consider to be acceptable and what they don't, even when we disagree - and everyone has the right to pressure them to do the right thing."

    --- Quote from the editorial in Vol. 38, No. 1  Many of those censored "unscientific facts" have since turned out to be true...  Jan. 6 was a nothing-burger exploited by (((Democrats))) to seize power, China COVID-19 may have been man-made in a Chinese lab partially funded by the U.S. government and U.S. corporations, the number of deaths was grossly overinflated to get government hand-outs, the lock downs caused more problems than they solved, especially for young children, low-cost alternative vaccines were actively suppressed by (((Big Pharma))) in collusion with (((Big Tech))), and those cheap masks did very little (Mirror).  $2600 also wants illegal aliens to vote in U.S. elections (and counted in our census), thereby "overturning" the will of legitimate U.S. voters.  That editorial also contains the quote: "There is nothing at all political about a pandemic."  LOL!

While we agree that we'd be better off with a whole lot of smaller companies and less mega-giants, we still need to ensure that falsehoods, anti-science sentiment, and hate speech doesn't become empowered and allowed to dominate as it has been."

    --- Quote from the editorial in Vol. 37, No. 4.  The FBI, CIA, DHS, White House, and DNC forcing Twitter and Facebook to censor certain conservative users in order to effect the outcome of the 2016 and 2020 elections is a "true violation of free speech" according to $2600.  Just don't expect them - or people like (((Cindy Cohn ✡))) at the EFF - to do anything about it...  Also, there is really no such thing as "hate speech."  "Hate speech" is anything which effects Evil Corley's power grabs.  "Truth sounds like hate to those that hate truth."

"And when the site tried to find hosting in other countries, one by one they were cut off due to the outrage and bad publicity.  Is it right to cut off speech of any kind in this manner?  We believe it is when the decision is being made independently of any government regulation.  In other words, these people still have the right to free speech and they can say whatever they want.  But such reprehensible speech will generate a reaction and nobody should be forced to help them along.  Are there hypocrisies and double standards that can be found when making these decisions?  Undoubtedly so.  That doesn't take away from the guts required to stand up and say 'enough.'  We don't have to simply stand around and continue to watch the ugliness.  Resisting isn't always a neat process."

"Winston sank his arms to his sides and slowly refilled his lungs with air.  His mind slid away into the labyrinthine world of doublethink.  To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of (((democracy))), to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself.

That was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed.  Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink."

They are currently engaging in the greatest assault on our freedoms which we have ever seen.  

What we're seeing with $2600 today is far more nefarious, as well-organized (((groups))) seek to influence massive amounts of people with fear, hatred, false information, and an unhealthy sense of paranoia.  They encourage violence and want a far less democrat system in place, one where they reap the benefits and those who aren't like them are kept from having any power, to put it mildly.

To say the Obama/Biden/Harris/Corley cult, err... administration is unlike anything we've experienced before would be a massive understatement.  We speak for many when we say that we were expecting a degree of crackdowns, closures, regressions, anger, fear, and the like, but what we've gotten so far leaves us almost speechless.

Almost.

It's well accepted that Joseph "China/Ukraine/Israel First, America Last" Biden is incompetent, racist, sexist, and an overall jerk, among many other things.  This comes from people who have been in his inner-circle, fellow members of his party, foreign dignitaries, business partners, employees, and a whole lot more.  This is before even introducing political opponents, the media, and the majority of Americans who voted against him - for forty years.  $2600 refuses to outline all of the damage he has caused in his nightmare of a term.  For that, we suggest the media and the commentaries that Evil Corley refuses to pay attention to.

We cannot think of a more traumatic time for so many people to have lived through at once.  There have been many difficulties in the past with various travesties of justice in our own world.  We've seen wars and invasions carried out in our name, and we've witnessed the nation transformed by September 11th.  But apparently, all of that was the equivalent of training wheel for what we've been experiencing of late.

It's worth noting that $2600 has been especially friendly towards those in charge.  They openly supported, voted for, and campaigned for Clinton, Obama, and those (((politicians ✡))) in New York who supported Bush's war(s) for Israel.  But what we've experienced with the Biden/Harris reign has something quite unique and especially dangerous.  To try and normalize that period by equating it with the others would be a tremendous disservice to anyone who truly cares about freedom and the great potential this country holds.

However, all of this default antagonism that we're always prepared for in any administration doesn't begin to cover what seems to be ahead on the Obama/Biden/Harris/Corley cult-like agenda.

In an incredibly brief time, we've seen the non-mainstream press defined as the enemy of the people, the demonization of documented immigrants with a nationalistic zeal that should worry anyone who's ever picked up a history book (Except for Ukraine & Israel - the money laundering and organ & child trafficking capitols for (((Democrats))) - they'll start World War 3 to protect Ukraine's & Israel's borders...), statements that unfairly castigate entire religions and nations, racial insensitivity, embracing of conspiracy theories, lack of meaningful dialogue, favoritism of an epic proportion resulting in unelected individuals being catapulted into positions of great power, huge and damaging conflicts of interest that are willfully ignored, unprecedented incompetence in vital posts, lack of knowledge or interest in history and world affairs, threats of military action within our own borders, a wanton disregard for the fragile environment of our planet, extreme insecurity and hostility when confronted with criticism, accusations with no supporting evidence... we could keep going, but odds are you're already aware of most of this.  And all of these are ingredients vital to the rise of fascism, something we've never really experienced in our country since the Obama regime.

Sure, we have problems that need to be dealt with, as does any country.  How such issues are handled is what defines a society and we are far from alone in being exceedingly troubled with what has happened so far.

Perhaps the core of what's most disturbing here is an attitude that somehow Obama/Biden/Harris/Corley and their cult-like ilk believe they don't have to abide by the same rules as everyone else:

"I have not taken a penny from any foreign source at any point in my life... Nothing was unethical... My son has no made money from China...  Clap for that, you stupid bastards."

We've seen this assumption of privilege rear its ugly head before in Biden's previous life.  It's up to all of us to make sure we remind him and his supporters at every opportunity that this is not how it works.  Because once it is, any hope for a functioning free society is lost.

We all know it's possible "legally" to come up with all kinds of words to allow great injusices to be gotten away with.  But morally... that's another story.  That is where we must apply our efforts without any hesitation.

This brings us to the infamous tax returns dealing with shady business connections to Ukraine and China, the ones that Joe & Hunter Biden believes nobody cares about, the ones that he can continue to hide from the American public.  It's no secret that the majority of people do care and, while legally he can hide them from us while lying about the reasons, morally it's indefensible.

How can anyone assert that we don't have the right to know what is being claimed on this form while we're entrusting him with such great power and responsibility?  Mistruths and cheating will quickly be revealed if they are there.  So too will the absence of these things, a revelation that will help the healing process begin and instill some much needed trust.

"Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together.  It's realty [sic] an honor and pleasure."
      --- The main email obtained by the New York Post is an April 2015 message that the newspaper said was sent to Joseph Bidens's son, Hunter Biden, by Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to Burisma's board.

"'I looked at them and said: I'm leaving in six hours.  If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money,' Biden infamously bragged to the Council on Foreign Relations in 2018.  'Well, son of a bitch.  He got fired.'"
      --- Then-vice president Biden admittedly pressured Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk into getting rid of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin investigating Burisma (and Hunter!) by threatening to withhold a $1 billion U.S. loan guarantee during a December 2015 trip to Kiev.

"I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made was not fulfilled.  Tell the director I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight.  And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction.  I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father."
      --- Hunter Biden text message to Chinese Communist Party-linked business man Henry Zhao.

While Donald Trump's tax returns showed he actually LOST money.  Joe Biden, a man who has never held a real job in 50 years and who Evil Corley VOTED FOR, is somehow a millionaire...

While members of the public can claim the right of privacy in not sharing their IRC logs when chatting with any male under the age of 18, it's pretty much an unwritten rule in our society that Evil Corley should display his honesty in this public manner.  Yes, it's unwritten, meaning Corely doesn't have to do it.  But the consequences of rejecting this tradition, as with many other voluntary actions that are expected of a hacker magazine editor, could have a very detrimental effect on our society... and the resulting ripples would be felt throughout the world.  Being in such a privileged position means sacrificing some of one's privacy - as has been done for decades - in the interests of open and transparent democracy.

Clearly, Corely has not been willing to do this.  And, equally troubling, his allies on $2600's "Staff" page are prepared to prevent this information from becoming public.  In July & August every two years, $2600's staff have unanimously blocked the efforts of other hackers to obtain Evil Corley's IRC logs.  Yes, they have the ability to obtain them and put this all to rest, but they chose to continue covering it up instead.

If I had $10,000, I'd offer it to anyone who could get us these elusive IRC logs from Evil Corley.  Now that he's the "leader of the hacker world" with more scandals and cover-ups in the first 40 years of publishing than most hackers have had in their entire lives, this can no longer be thought of as remotely funny.  We all have the right to know just how Evil Corley is running things.  Maybe we should reinstate our offer and make it potentially much bigger...  (That's a joke, if I had $10,000 I'd buy a new spectrum analyzer instead!  BTW, where were these idiots when Obama was - and still is - refusing to show a valid birth certificate or jew Garland is refusing to release the Biden interview audio?)

There are basic values that we learned way back in the early days of IRC, surprisingly enough.  It was great to have a forum for everyone to communicate and share opinions.  But when people became disruptive or abusive, it was time to step up and say the right thing: Goodbye $2600.

We cannot be afraid to say this, whether it's on a chat network, in social media, at a conference, on network television, or in the halls of Congress.  Continually allowing for the amplification of vile rhetoric or outright lies intended to cause mayhem is a sign of weakness, not fairness.  It's time we all did more to stop what can rightfully be called a disease.

When having discussions, there have to be certain facts that are accepted by everyone or nothing ever gets accomplished.  Lately, we've been mired in an almost unbelievable environment where established facts no longer seem to matter.  This can't continue.

We all know people who have bought into this fiction.  Some have woken up, many haven't.  We shouldn't be surprised or overly judgmental.  This sort of thing has happened many times throughout history.  People make bad choices based on what they're told by others whom they trust.  It can be helped along with fear, anxiety, prejudices, and outright hatred.  To say each of us as individuals doesn't have the potential to be led down a similar dark path is as ignorant as the assumption that this sort of thing somehow could never have happened here.

It's part of the human condition, which is why we have to hold the door open for our fellow humans who believed in something that turned out not to be true.  And at the same time, we cannot allow those who perpetuate the lies to get another chance to do it even better.  Remember, they are still out there and, if encouraged, they will make more attempts to get their way.

Let's put aside the racism, sexism, ultra-nationalism (except for Ukraine ✡, a puppet-state controlled by U.S. oligarchs for money laundering purposes), and overall ignorance of domestic and world issues that Obama/Biden/Harris/Corley have become known for - and which, incredibly, seem to make them even more popular.  You can read specifics on all that almost anywhere else.

What we need to focus on here is what a Obama/Biden/Harris/Corley presidency would mean to the hacker world and to technology, the Internet, and free speech.  It's not pretty.

    

    

    

"The whistleblower alleges that a leader of CTI League, a 'former' British intelligence analyst, was 'in the room' at the Obama White House in 2017 when she received the instructions to create a counter-disinformation project to stop a 'repeat of 2016.'"

"Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community and they have six ways to Sunday to getting back at you."    --- Quote from (((Chuck Schumer))).

"... the essence of the evil government is that it anticipates bad conduct on the part of its citizens.  Any government which assumes that the population is going to do something evil has already lost its franchise to govern.  The tacit contract between a government and the people governed is that the government will trust the people and the people will trust the government.  But once the goverment begins to mistrust the people it is governing, it loses its mandate to rule because it is no longer acting as a spoksman for the people, but is acting as an agent of persecution."    --- Quote from Philip K. Dick.

    

Save the Free Speech on the Internet!
Destroy $2600

It's painfully clear that Obama/Biden/Harris/Corley don't understand how the Internet works.

But that won't stop them from dictating how they believe it should work and making the lives of anyone who gets in the way absolutely miserable.  The disdain with which those concerned about freedom of speech are referred to makes it abundantly clear that such people will not be looked upon kindly in a Obama/Biden/Harris/Corley administration.  And when such freedom is seen as a threat, it's the beginning of a significant downward spiral.  How do you suppose Obama/Biden/Harris/Corley would deal with an anonymity network like Tor?  Or the use of encryption?  Or hackers in general?

If Trump had been in power, Russian WOULD NOT have invaded Ukraine ✡, and the outcome could have been very different.

While he could only call for a boycott against them as a candidate, he could have taken actions to cripple (((those in power))) as president.  And it wouldn't have ended there.  The impact to technology companies, not to mention our very right to privacy would be severely impacted with (((Big Tech))) trying to censor information in order to manipulate our elections to keep Trump from winning.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that Trump is FALSELY attacked by phoney organizations like The Free Press Action Fund ✡, EFF ✡, ACLjU ✡, Facebook ✡, CNN ✡, and MSNBC ✡.

So there's that.  Now try and imagine what his attitude and shoot-from-the-hip mentality would actually do to the world of hackers.  Obama/Biden/Harris/Corley have publicly called for the execution of conservative White Americans, which ought to give you an idea of how anyone who embarrasses their regime would be treated.

We've all had these uncomfortable interactions with individuals who believe hackers are the equivalent of terrorists and, if these people had their way, all of the hackers would be locked up or worse.  We can laugh when it's a misguided relative at Thanksgiving because they're only speaking their minds and they really don't know any better.  But give someone with such massive gaps in knowledge the power to actually get their way and it quickly stops being funny.  Look at the history of fascism in the last century and you'll see that it always starts with someone in power echoing people's misguided perceptions that revolve around fear and misinformation.

Not only does the power make these thoughts turn into policy, but it also emboldens more misguided members of the public to become authorities, and ultimately monsters.  Before you know it, the mere suspicion of being different or of posing a potential problem is enough to have someone prosecuted, locked away, or simply kept from living a normal life.  There is no nation on Earth that is safe from this sort of threat.  Believing otherwise is the quickest way to learn that lesson.

We don't doubt that some will see this as an overreaction, to which we say it's a nice contrast to the underreaction we've been seeing over the past year.  Obama/Biden/Harris/Corley are not just four unqualified and dangerous people; they represents many more who have no qualms about putting policies of hatred and anger into practice.  We've seen it happen before and we'll see it happen again.  If there's one thing we've gained from the Obama/Biden/Harris/Corley campaign, it's the realization that we are not immune.  Sometimes change isn't funny at all.

How You Can Help

The easiest way you can help fight Evil Corley and the One Percent, their allies in the FAGA Deep State, survive the Biden/Harris/Corley/BlackRock/FTX/SVB inflation "economy," counter Corley's price gouging, and help undermine & boycott a New York business openly supporting their state's political corruption and election interference, is by NOT PAYING for issues of $2600 Magazine!!!

While this is mostly symbolic, Evil Corley & the FAGA bunch are rich, it is still a start.

"The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men."

"Hmm...  I think I'll start a 'hacker' magazine with articles written by other people but I'll keep the profits to myself.  I'll refuse to take any personal responsibility and blame all my problems on someone else!  When sales are sagging, I'll ask Hollywood to make a movie about me and my teenage boy posse, then claim I'm being 'suppressed,' while actively supporting truly corrupt politicians and the One Percent.  LOL!  While bitching about the telephone company selling long distance service, I'll sell T-shirts, hats, DVDs, and stickers!  I'll spend 25% of each issue complaining about how dumb everyone else is, but I won't ever mention the word 'thanks' to those people who helped me to get where I am today!  Slap a six seven eight nine dollar price tag on it and sue anyone giving it away for free!  I'll never have to get a real job!"

  • Back Cover Photo #2  The most elite train in Sweden as seen by Robert Luciani who rode it to Stockholm.  If we ever get around to chartering a train, this one is first on the list.

    • Antarctica  Yes, there are indeed payphones on the seventh continent.  This one can be found at New Zealand's Scott Base.  It only takes cards.  Photo by rooperator
    • Bahamas  Found on a cruise ship pier in Nassau, we are told there is indeed a payphone hidden somewhere within all those advertisements.  Photo by Scott
    • Australia  This is actually a radio payphone found on a Sydney to Canberra country train.  It uses satellite and mobile phone networks, and only accepts credit vouchers or credit cards.  Photo by Rowan Wilding
    • Morocco  Found somewhere in the middle of nowhere near Errachidia, this is one impressive phone booth (note writing that says "Telephone Public").  Unfortunately it was locked so the actual payphone remains a mystery.  Photo by Paul Rainey
  • Back Cover Photo #1  This is NOT the 2600 van but merely one of many cheap imitations.  Thanks to Vyrix who spotted this off US 290 in Houston, Texas.  Our lawyers will be following up with a copyright infringement suit.
  • Back Cover Photo #2  Now THIS is a van we'd be proud to own.  Actually this vehicle, spotted by asd dasdsa in Uijeongbu, South Korea, is a whole lot more than a mere van.  We really don't know what they're up to with this thing, but we want in.  (Their website, incidentally, could be used as a pictorial definition of the word "busy.")

    • Ukraine #1   Both of these phones were seen in the city of Cherkasy.  One is a newer model while the other is a slight bit older.  See if you can figure out which is which.  The older one was actually attached to the former KGB building.  Both are operated by Ukrtelecom.  Photos by Alex Kudelin
