Not at all. This happened multiple times before and it will happen again in
the future.

Given the amount of fraud that happens on LE secured domains, I’m sure the
CAbal can come up with an excuse. Look what their best friends did to the
American citizens who peacefully protested the election results 5 years ago.

To be clear, I like LE as they did what they could with the chips that the
world was given. Not bad.

But it’s time we route around this stupid CA mess. Crypto is great in 2025
thanks to the cypherpunk pioneers like djb, Dr Green, and many awesome
heroes, and as a result there are a lot of better ways we can verify
authenticity.

PS: One solution is to get rid of the non coding cucks from these orgs. For
example why is MOZILLA the champion of DEI and failing as a browser yet
given a disproportional amount of authority on our interwebz? Lol. Feel
free to read more about this mess on the web or on lunduke’s journal etc as
I’m sure this PS has a few of you crying over hearing this truth (but
majority of this list is likely smiling haha which is why I love you guys)

Mod: Sorry if the language of this message is a no go - I just wanted to
test the boundaries. I’m a coder after all. That’s what real ones do.
