      So it’s clear they do understand the advantages that come with freedom, given with a space, yet it’s more important them as a whole to maintain control of their culture and the individual freedoms of their people. I’m not a misanthrope but, people really piss me off. Nothing more disgusting than elitism and that’s coming from a red voting capitalist.

    lol embed code in pdfs. This is 20 years ago. It' not like this now. Barsky is old school and we have respect for what he is saying, but the spy craft has changed. Now you can have a folder on your pc that you can drop a file into that gets mixed into multiple channels, social, email, a text message, and it all looks seamless and looks like it never happened. You can transfer a message by viewing posts on a foreign website on knitting and a the recipient can reassemble it from the post id's and the order you looked at them. Even the time between the posts can mean something. Dead drops are not a thing anymore. It's all digital now.
