Netsec.. again!? My brain still hurts from last time!
“Existing guides and infrastructure for journalists insufficiently prepares them for digitally interacting with sources, working on sensitive stories while protecting sensitive materials offline and online, and traveling cross borders with personal and professional data.”
AMENDED: THE TOP 10 MOST FREQUENTLY MENTIONED ADVICE IMPERATIVES IN SECURITY GUIDES FOR JOURNALISTS:
Use multi-factor authentication.
Use Tor.
Use a password manager (BitWarden/VaultWarden recommended).
Create strong passwords.
Use Signal to transmit passwords (with self-destructing conversations)
Back-up data from your devices regularly (with encryption & store in multiple locations).
Don’t re-use passwords.
Apply system and software updates regularly.
Use passphrases.
Configure browser to use only HTTPS or check for https:// in the browser.
Enable full-disk encryption

Let’s add 11 more for the truly paranoid.
Use a nolog VPN (Mullvad recommended). Solari’s cybersecurity guidelines do not recommend using a VPN but the key is finding a “nolog” VPN (most are not).
Assume all Apple/Microsoft/Amazon/Google products are compromised by default
Avoid Windows, Android, iOS, & OSX (Apple).Use Linux. (Qubes recommended for maximum security).
Use open-source software and hardware whenever possible. Any closed-source proprietary software/hardware should be untrusted by default.
Turn off internet when it’s not being used.Avoid all RF transmitters (WiFi, Bluetooth, ect) when possible because it can assist surveillance.
Disable Javascript in web browser by default (NoScript addon recommended).
Do not expose any servers behind your network. If you must serve content to the internet, setup a local VPN.
Assume IoT devices (cameras, SMART devices, etc) are compromised and isolate them to a LAN without internet access.
Assume any data stored “in the cloud” or data stored on internet-accessible devices is compromised.
Use alternative DNS servers, not those provided by your ISP.

Whitney Webb on a recent interview was positing that SPECTRE will try to introduce CBDC’s as a public-private partnership. They’ll use any way they can put the camel’s nose in the tent without us noticing.
Rep Tom Emmer introduced his bill on CBDC’s but the language does not ban it. He’s a RINO so I don’t trust him. Still have to read Senator Ted Cruz’s bill. And DeSantis did not punish Disney like he said he would, so I agree that he sounds more “free” than he behaves. He also pushed the vax and lockdowns in the beginning. But to his credit, reversed course.
Great show. Like John’s Americana background better. He does look happy.
Hello Catherine,
Congradulations! Your money and markets are so good now that I would rather watch it than whatever NCAA tournament basketball game in on.
One point I want to make. Desantis stock has been dropping rapidly lately for 2 reasons. One; he was too happy about Trump getting indicted even though he stated that the New York DA overstepped his bounds.
Reason number two; his flip flop on the Ukraine war. He went from saying we should stay out of that war to saying we must make Putin pay for his crimes in just a week or two. That is a signal to me that he is being influenced by dark forces somehow.
I have to say he sounded so good on the Glen Beck clip you played.
Desantis is now a presidential candidate runner: so he is going to dilute his political platform in order to broaden his base I suppose?
Nobody puts it together like you two. Catherine drawing real world relationships and examples…John throwing out the lay persons view clarifying the esoteric BS!
Happy 25. You two just keep getting better and better.
I imagine you are aware of the work of Karen Kingston documenting the DARPA control of the plandemic…if not, she may have some of the final details you seek. Bravi.
I think maybe an overarching theme here is that the acceptability of bank failures and consequent bailouts are a preparation for the big play on CBDC. Eventually, CBDC bypasses even national debt and the Fed, and its virtual digits become “insurance” for the uninsured depositor, who will, we shall see, accept CBDC as money. You may fantasize that each one of us will act nobly when the tapeworm offers its treats, but the reality is most people are craven and will take the money, figuring someone else will get the bill. I think you do this without ever having to come after the guns, in fact once a lot of people are dependent on the good graces of the social credit system, they’ll give up their guns for butter.
How many people virtue signal everyday by “helping” illegal immigrants and refugees get on to welfare, blithely thinking that this is a victimless crime? How many people virtue signal about getting Ukrainians killed in a war that means nothing other than more war, and another sphere of influence for Israel? How many people deny that the US does everything to others that China and Russia do to us, and in spades whenever possible? We like to think of ourselves as noble but practice says otherwise.
No matter what outrages the Democrats have done and continue to do, you still find plenty of people who not only support them but also support the obviously criminal Bidens as a an improvement over Trump. I watched as the Senate budget committee interviewed army generals and marvel how each of them delimits his or her own responsibility for protecting the citizens of the USA, for which they interchangeably use the term Homeland, which is inscrutable to me, but what I actually see is that we are not defended against anything, in spite of our trillion dollars per year expenditures on so-called defense. Completely baffling, and we’re circling the drain
Arno Wellens does a good job of discussing why CBDC will be less attractive than it sounds on this trade. The corruption is indeed from top to bottom. Bad.
Sorry for being tardy on replying, but my account was for some reason inaccessible for a few days. It seems to be fixed now, of course. I did watch the video and agree that Arno seems to have a good handle on the game. The most important thing is there is no extraordinarily evident public benefit to adopting CBDC versus the current capability of electronic transactions. Thus, forcible, or semi-compulsory adoption would be the likely path of its becoming widespread. That is worrisome.
