Simply amazing

I don't think people deserve decades in jail for having degenerate pasts

Candace Owens read a Glacier ad on her show two days after I posted an article calling out Glacier's transparency and privacy issues. When her viewers questioned it, she and her groupies spent the past two weeks calling my Glacier research “trash” and “laughable.” Well... Since my article, Glacier has changed six of the things I called out. (1) I said Glacier changed its privacy policy without dating it or telling anyone. In an update dated October 27, Glacier published a revision history for the first time, and it confirms the change came on July 24, 11 days after the app went on sale. (2) I said Glacier keeps your call history and the audio of your voicemails with no time limit. On October 27, Glacier updated its policy to say it keeps call records for 48 hours with the phone company and up to 7 days on its own servers. It also deleted the words “including audio recordings” from its policy, but it still stores the audio of every voicemail left for you (they should update that IMO). (3) I said burner numbers aren’t anonymous. Glacier’s October 27 policy now admits the ID on your calls is “pseudonymous rather than anonymous,” and its own white paper says Glacier can match that ID back to you. Glacier holds the key that ties every burner call to your account, your email and your payment details. The new white paper can be found on their website. (4) I said Glacier never told customers what happens when the government asks for their data. On October 27 it added a section reporting zero requests. That number only counts demands sent to Glacier. Your call records also sit with Twilio, the phone company behind the burners. (5) I said customers had no way to see the code behind the app. By November 4, Glacier’s policy linked to its code on GitHub for the first time. The version Glacier’s own white paper says it reviewed isn’t there, and every commit was made from a glacier security email (the NSA gov contractor, not the glacier app). (6) I said burner calls aren’t as private as advertised. On October 21, the day after my article, Glacier dated a new white paper saying burner numbers don’t guarantee anonymity and that phone companies can keep your records after you burn a number. Glacier still sells those lines for $4.99 a month with a help page promising “no trail" (they need to update that still I would guess). Here is what Glacier still hasn’t fixed that would help consumers: - Its help center still promises burner numbers leave “no trail" but its own white paper says otherwise. - It calls itself an “independent company,” but every commit in its code comes from a Glacier Security email, and Glacier Security, a defense contractor headquartered next to NSA’s Fort Meade campus, lists Glacier App as one of its own products. - Its Apple privacy label still says the only data tied to you is your purchases. Its own policy says your email, call records and voicemails are tied to your account. Two hours after her Glacier ad aired, I asked Candace to help push Glacier for more transparency (see messages attached). She told me my research had “big, glaring errors” and continued to tell me how trash it was. Transparency is what a company owes the people who trust it and pay for its services. I was attacked for asking, and Glacier just proved I was right to ask.

I agree with this decision completely. The people of Ukraine have suffered immeasurably from Vladimir Putin’s illegal war. Alberta is now home to 70k Ukrainian evacuees who remain unable to return home because of Russia’s invasion of their country. We in Alberta stand with them.

Israel has nukes and uses them to threaten the US and get the US to do what they want? Do you even hear yourself? Are you for real? Your evidence (some guy on the internet said so!) Russia has nukes. CHINA has nukes. Many times more nukes added together than the US and Israel COMBINED. Does the US do what Russia and China want? No. Russia and China even have actual much more economic leverage against the US while Israel has ZERO. The US still doesn't do what Russia or China want! What makes Israel's "nukes" special? If the US wanted to - it could pull its support for Israel - Israel could use ALL of its nukes on the US - the US would still have much of itself left - but Israel would permanently and forever cease to exist - the US has the ability to erase it in an afternoon. The US has been doing horrible things around the world for generations before Israel ever even existed - it does it today including creating and using Israel - and it would continue to do it into the future if Israel was ever erased. Stop repeating infotainment fiction and please join me in reality where Israel is not capable of doing anything, including acquiring nuclear weapons - without full and constant US support.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 WARNING!!! US Media is Setting up the "Israel Did It!" or "Israel Made the US Do It!" Narrative Regarding Attacks (including NUCLEAR attacks) on Iran Tucker Carlson, who has played cognitive infiltrator/manipulator like his US government-employed father before him, claims "Israel" is pressuring the US to nuke Iran and is sharing intel with the US on Iran. This is a dangerous means of trying to distance/absolve the US of its own crimes worldwide and fits into STATED US policy regarding shifting blame for US wars of aggression against Iran specifically. "Israel did it" or "Israel made us do it!" Here is reality: 1. Israel depends 100% on the US to exist day to day, and to conduct any major military operation. If the US stopped supporting Israel, it would cease to exist. Conversely, the US has pursued empire and war worldwide before Israel ever existed and will continue to so even if Israel disappeared tomorrow; 2. Israel depends on US intel capabilities ONLY the US has, not the other way around. Israeli intel - like Ukraine's - is an extension of US capabilities; 3. Israeli lobbying in Washington accounts for less than 1% of all US lobbying, used to launder political blame in the same way Israeli armed aggression does so militarily - it does not have the ability to pressure or manipulate the US into doing anything anymore than one's hand can pressure or direct the actions of one's mind and body; 4. Carlson mentioned Israel's meaningless elections as a "factor" - no, no matter who won, just like in US elections, nothing would change, least of all Israel's role as America's forward operating base in the region (just as it hasn't changed this entire 21st century); 5. US policy papers have explicitly laid out strategies to use Israel to both provoke and take the blame/retaliation for AMERICAN war on Iran. The 2009 Brookings paper "Which Path to Persia" has a whole chapter dedicated to this strategy! 6. If the US attacks or nukes Iran or anyone else - it's because the US wanted to and it will use all its proxies to either help and/or take the blame - do NOT fall for the propaganda used to facilitate this STATED strategy! 7. And no, just because the US is 100% responsible for its actions AND the actions of its proxies, it does not absolve any of its proxies - including Israel - for their roles in US crimes against humanity. If a man uses his hand to commit a crime, his whole body, including his hand, goes to jail for it. Finally - whether Carlson is doing this to deliberately assist with stated US policy for shifting blame for its own global crimes against humanity, or he is doing this out of pure incompetence and/or ignorance - the outcome is exactly the same - misleading his huge audience and selling them a lie US policymakers themselves have admitted they are telling the public.
