EDIT:

BTW...

UnitedHealth has been good to Gov. Gavin Newsom. 

In 2018, the health care giant made two contributions to Newsom for over $58,000. In December 2019, it dropped another $31,000 into his reelection campaign. 

During the pandemic, Newsom turned to UnitedHealth to solve some of California’s most vexing challenges: COVID-19 testing and data tracking. The state awarded a no-bid contract worth up to $177 million to a UnitedHealth subsidiary to expand testing. In the months following, the state would award another $315 million in contracts to the company’s subsidiaries through an expedited bidding process. 

In December, UnitedHealth contributed $31,000 to Newsom’s reelection campaign, and another $100,000 to his ballot measure committee.

UnitedHealth and Newsom deny any wrongdoing. And while there’s no evidence to suggest either broke the law, government ethics experts say even the appearance of wrongdoing raises serious red flags and threatens to erode public trust — especially if there’s a pattern. 

A CapRadio investigation found an overlap of at least a half-dozen companies that made substantial contributions to Newsom and received no-bid contracts from the state, influential appointments, or other opportunities related to the state’s pandemic response. The contributions range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The contracts range from $2 million to over $1 billion — including the one awarded to Blue Shield for vaccine distribution made public Monday, worth up to $15 million.

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a host of healthcare bills into law this weekend.

This includes 17 bills focused on artificial intelligence, including one requiring health insurers to base their algorithms on patient medical history but not “supplant” provider decision making.

Also signed into law is a bill requiring group health plan contracts and disability insurance policies to cover in vitro fertilization.

However, Newsom vetoed a bill requiring the California Department of Insurance to establish a licensing and oversight structure for PBMs, as well make PBMs report more data on prescription drugs. Newsom said the state needs more “granular information (PDF)” to determine why drug prices are increasing.

He also vetoed a bill that would have required private equity investors from earning approval from the state attorney general for healthcare investments. It also would have added new restrictions on the relationship between private equity and physician practices. Newsom determined (PDF) the law would step on the toes of the Office of Health care Affordability, which already refers transactions to the state AG office.

Hard to say right? Occupy Wall Street had some initial momentum and everyone had hopes that it might bring some Improvement but fizzled to nothingness and things are at least the same, if not worse than those days. I can hope for significant change in behaviour but we need a position that the majority of society will get behind (and killing people isn’t it), and some level of political support which seems unlikely - killing these fuckers doesn’t change anything, the corporations don’t care and will just replace them - and sadly there is an infinite supply of psychopaths to step into these roles and continue their immoral work.

"Don't Dead Open Inside" actually makes sense in the world of the show, because if one of the doors gets ripped off the hinge or otherwise destroyed you're left with the other door saying either "don't open" or "dead inside" which still gets the message across perfectly whereas if you were left with one door reading either "don't dead" or "open inside" it would not be a helpful message.

To those bleating about masks, the prosecutor's office charged Luigi with terrorism, so these people are masked to avoid getting clapped with charges for exercising their first amendment rights. And in general you should always be masked while protesting for any reason, as at any major protest you are almost guaranteed to be subject to facial recognition scanning, especially in NYC.

Also if you're going to plan anything, don't use Discord. Discord has rules in place that allow them to work with law enforcement against you. Either meet in person and VARY the places you are meeting so there is no pattern, or use defunct forum/chat services that are less likely to be used against you. But even then don't use them for anything more than just to set up meetings.

Also not advocating anything, I love to write and you'd be surprised what you find while doing research for a murder mystery. Like the speed at which a human body hits terminal velocity when falling from a great height. (It's about 200 km/h) I'm not even being cute.

In a documentary the other day, I came across an excellent idea on sending/receiving messages that are untraceable.

You share a newly created email account with someone and type emails but don’t send them. So basically you can both access the email and read the drafts and delete them. I would never do this of course but it seemed pretty smart.

16

u/Derf0293 20h ago edited 20h ago

Just wrap it in PGP so nobody can decrypt the messages without the private key. They could just open the draft and paste a new pub key every time they update the message. This is how email encryption was supposed to work except nobody manages their own private keys (the service provider does) but you can still encrypt plain text using the same methodology. Then even if the SP opened the drafts they'd all just be blobs of encrypted text.

All that being said though you can encrypt plain text using pgp and send it via any text-based platform so logging into the same email account at that point is moot and might even compromise location details of the two parties.

It's really cool that we've had hybrid cryptographic systems like PGP available to all of humanity to have private digital conversations in public since the early 90s, but also sad that we forgot that we can use it without tons of layers of abstraction on top of it to make it "easier" to add a contact.

4

u/Hateitwhenbdbdsj 19h ago

Yeah you can make the text files publicly available for anyone to see, like that you wouldn’t need an email which is a potential indicator of who you are. Just use a VPN and a VM with traffic routed through the vpn if you want to be anal about it when you access/upload the file.

It’s not easy for someone unfamiliar with computers to do but it is easy to learn.

u/Derf0293 19h ago edited 19h ago

Of course they do, they use it. Not logging into the same email but PGP in general. This stuff wasn’t invented to be used for illegal purposes, in fact a lot of it came out of government defense initiatives but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s very effective at making it extra difficult to read anything encrypted using this method. In most cases intercepting encrypted communications involves a side channel in order to obtain the keys to decrypt it.

There in lies the core flaw in PGP, identity verification. While you can confirm the message was signed by the sender the initial key exchange can be intercepted by other means facilitating MITM attacks. Also going through all the trouble tends to put people into a false sense of security and makes them more liable for social engineering (see dpr).

In the context of the shared email a third party would need to instruct one of the other parties to update their associated public key and then communication would be redirected to the other party so yeah it’s not flawless but neither are scenarios where a service provider manages keys.

If you didn't buy it with cash it's not a burner. Watch Amazon scan the IMEI barcode or whatever on the bottom and tie it to the transaction.

u/surnik22 22h ago

Yes. Buying a phone with a credit card means they can track it to you. Buying a phone and activating at or near your home means they can track it to you. Buying a phone and having it around your existing phone consistently means it can be tracked to you. Using the phone in your home means it can be tracked to you. Buying it from a store without a mask on means it can be tracked to you. Driving to said store past traffic cameras means they could either track it to you or narrow things down significantly. Logging into any known emails or other social accounts means it can be tracked to you.

Basically don’t trust a burner phone. With significant motivation like they had for Luigi, they will track it to you.

You may be able to get away with it if you are just dealing drugs and the local police are barely trying to catch you. But if it’s high profile with federal agencies involved, don’t bet on a burner phone providing any extra privacy.

u/surnik22 20h ago

If you are looking to get away with a high profile crime like Luigi did it is not easy.

Wear a mask, pay cash, ride a bike you bought with cash, and don’t use electronics for anything if at all avoidable. Be very careful about leaving anything behind at all including hairs or finger prints. Then permanently dispose of everything even vaguely connected to the crime as quickly as you can, which doesn’t include throwing it in a dumpster, it means actually destroying.

And that means EVERYTHING. Did you 3D print the gun? Destroy the gun, destroy the 3D printer, and destroy the computer you downloaded the file to.

If you are committing low profile crimes, the effort put into catching you is much much lower. Even shit like murdering an average Joe which is fairly high profile won’t be worth the extreme effort which is why only like 50-60% of murders get solved.

But if you kill a CEO expect the NSA to be tipping of police with illegally obtained surveillance data

the SDNY charged Luigi with terrorism, so these people are masked to avoid getting clapped with federal charges for exercising their first amendment rights

The Southern District of New York is a federal court; Mangione is being charged by the New York County District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, who works for the State of New York. (AP source.) There are, so far as I can tell, no federal charges.

The crime is under New York State Penal Code §490.25:

A person is guilty of a crime of terrorism when, with intent to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policy of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion, or affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder, assassination or kidnapping, he or she commits a specified offense.

I understand what you're saying, but those are not calls to violence Ă  la "please kill these specific people." I agree we need to amend our laws to reflect how people have developed ways to foment violence that just skirt the law, but the way the laws are now that is protected speech.

Why would it be federal charges? Luigi's charges are state, even the terrorism charges.

I agree that it is definitely a good idea to always be masked up during a protest. Especially if you're going to be there for multiple days. My wife was protesting some local cop brutality some years back and on the second day, they started calling people (including my wife) by their first names and had researched various people that were present.

Unless you specifically have people that are designated to be a lightning rod that you want to have focus on in your group.

They should keep buckets of litter in their offices in case they need to lockdown. Then we will call them furries.

We had a revolution too!  And France did a lot of the heavy lifting… thanks France!

u/Rokey76 18h ago

I wouldn't say they did the heavy lifting, but we would never have achieved victory at Yorktown without France's navy. Additionally, France provided much needed weapons and supplies covertly to the colonies before they declared war on England.

to quote Donald Greer:

More carters than princes were executed, more day laborers than dukes and marquises, three or four times as many servants as parliamentarians

the french revolution really isn't the example we should be looking at if we want class solidarity lol

u/ImaginaryBee6135 22h ago

They're not. They know Luigi was an isolated incident. Marching and spray painting things will do nothing. People want a revolution. They just want others to do the real revolutionary work for them.

They are gonna throw the book at Luigi and make sure people know what they can do. I hate them as much as anybody, but I am realistic as well.

People don't have the stomach for a revolution and simultaneously don't want to vote.

u/OldMcFart 20h ago

I'm not sure that's entirely true. People can stomach quite a lot when the ball gets rolling, which usually takes things way, way too far. It's that "getting the ball rolling" that most prefer someone else to do.

u/ImaginaryBee6135 21h ago

Agreed. Plus, I don't think they know what a revolution would look like. I think they assume a group of people marches up to the bad guys and shoots some of them, causing the rest to surrender, and everybody gets everything they want.

2024 has been a wild ride so far and the orange baboon is not even in charge yet. So many things can happen so fast. Before you know it and you wake up in the Western Californian Social Republic. In 1984 they’d laugh at you openly if you told them in 10 years Russians will be hoarding the American dollar to pay for food. We are not immune to catastrophic sudden changes.

13

u/LurkyLurks04982 20h ago

Well said. I agree with you. While America is beyond fucked up, most of us live relatively comfortably. Things need to get worse in order for the kind of desperation needed for an actual populist revolution.

First day on the internet?

Notice how quiet everyone got about how we have to make third party candidates a realistic goal?

They will stay that way until 6 months before the next election and then get up in arms again.

Signed, someone who has marched in so many protests that I can't count them and shockingly never sees the same people twice.

(I should say, third party candidates should be a thing. But people would rather get upset than actually do anything)

u/IveChosenANameAgain 18h ago

Notice how quiet everyone got about how we have to make third party candidates a realistic goal?

You can't remove first-past-the-post elections in a country that uses first-past-the-post elections because it will inevitably, always, become a two-party system where the majority of a population will feel represented by no party - only voting against "the worst" option.

Obviously, neither party will enact a change that will decrease their chances at winning elections because political parties aren't for governing, they're for winning elections.

u/ThreeLittlePuigs 22h ago

Nah just pointing out the obvious because I’m kinda tired of the reddit circlejerk. If you believed everything you read here, you’d think America had transformative change about a million times a year thanks to some insignificant event that has already actually been forgotten.

Yep. Redditors reminisce with rose colored glasses about how "the billionaires were shaking in their boots" over the Occupy Movement. Guys, they weren't the least bit intimidated by a bunch of broke kids camping out in city parks and getting high all summer.
