12.12: news.cyb/sec/linux/nsa forces Torvalds' hand?:
rt.com:

. MIT-educated cryptographer and Linux developer
Theodore Ts'o stated publically that
he was happy with his decision to resist
earlier pleads from Intel engineers
to have that operating system commit entirely to
RDRAND [intel's on-chip routine] for encryption:
"Relying solely on the hardware random number generator
which is using an implementation sealed inside a chip
which is impossible to audit
is a BAD idea" . Now just three months later,
FreeBSD is rescinding their reliance on Intel and Via’s RNGs.
[by contrast:]
When a petition began circulating in mid-Sept
imploring Linux to stop relying on RDRAND,
one of the OS’s leading developers, Linus Torvalds,
called those who made those pleads "Ignorant" .

Fed's QE ongoing for terminal banking crisis

12.9: news.pol/purges/inflation/Fed's QE ongoing for terminal banking crisis:
. Greg Hunter's latest USAwatchdog guest 
warns the biggest banks are still in big trouble
and they are the main reason
that the Fed'Reserve's Quantitative Easing
-- printing money to buy toxic bank stocks --
won't let up any time soon,
and why the biggest banks' stock prices
are 10 times higher than even
today's inflated other stock prices .
. the reason other stock prices are inflated 
is that the Fed keeps the interest rate low
which means people are less interested in bonds,
and then stocks are the only other place to go .

and esp'ly the replacement must
allow mention of Dr. Judy Wood .

according to what class of references are allowed:
# sources citable by academics,
# source trusted by the mainstream,
# sources considered to be on the fringe .

Dr. Judy Wood on openlibrary.org

. this is what I contributed to openlibrary.org,
in their wiki for cataloging every book .

Where did the towers go? 1 edition

By Judy D. Wood

About the Book

The 9/11 event (2001) resulted in the "dustification"
of the World Trade Center (WTC) complex;
and this book presents the evidence
for what could have done this.
All conventional technologies are ruled out;
and, many of the features of the event
are similar to Hutchison Effects,
thereby leaving as the only possibility
that this "dustification" was done by
some classified "beam weapon."
