Osama Bin Laden dead – O RLY?

May 2nd, 2011 2 comments

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

The only way the current President of America could preserve his credibility was to come up with an old myth, the one of Osama Bin Laden, allegedly being killed by U.S. Soldiers last night. – O RLY?

The world is ruled by disinformation, while the U.S. remains a country that does not respect international human rights and is off-board of the Kioto protocol. Guantanamo has never been closed and whether the ex- nor the current president have been called to account for mass murder in several muslim countries. While economically the united states belong to their shareholders, China and the GCC and therefore are inofficially bankrupt.

Now the death of one sock puppet should restore the credibility of the biggest Neo-Imperialist, that does not cease rearing the brood of hatred. – WTF!

… no photos of dead Bin Laden. – LOL! Disinformative news reporting that his body has been buried at sea. – Give me a break!

No missing golden star

March 31st, 2011 No comments



The lights in the building of the Suisse Mission in Brussels are off. The big red flag outside gasping in the wind. The lights will remain off for this prehistorical country and nobody is going to miss the golden star on the blue flag. Dawn falls and will cover the country of the proleptical with their self deception.

Bypassing the Chinese Firewall

March 11th, 2011 No comments


There are multiple ways to bypass the Chinese Firewall, using VPN, anonymous browsers or Tor. But I prefer to use the most simple way, which for me is using an ssh tunnel.

host:~user$ ssh -D 8888 login@myserver.org

(There is also a nice GUI for those who are not familiar with the command line.)

Then I configure my system preferences to use the socks proxy on 127.0.0.1:8888, which can also be done in Firefox Network settings. (see screenshots)

As the Chinese Government also tries to block external sites, such as Youtube and Openleaks, by filtering DNS requests, it’s necessary to filter this too. One could e.g. point them to 127.0.0.1 (in system preferences) and then send through another ssh tunnel:

host:~user$ sudo ssh login@myserver.org -L 53:127.0.0.1:53

(sudo because 53 is a privileged port.)

But actually it’s easier by just hacking the firefox configuration:

Luckily, with SOCKS5 Firefox can control which side of the proxy handles DNS lookups. By default, it does the lookups locally resulting in the scenario above. To change this, set network.proxy.socks_remote_dns = true in about:config. This makes the SOCKS proxy more like a regular proxy, where DNS is handled by the remote end of the tunnel.

… or one can install iodine and tunnel all DNS requests accordingly.

Have phun!

Bring benefit and prosperity in all the worlds there are,
