There is a new documentary out called NOBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT JACOB APPELBAUM, funded by Canadian public money and airing this month on the public broadcaster's streaming service. The trailer makes it seem like a spy caper and an indulgence of Jake's delusions of persecution. Remember: Jacob is a serial rapist who only escaped prosecution because he picked victims from anarchist counter-cultural communities, where there is widespread distrust of the police. The documentary filmmakers attempted to talk to some of the victims of Jacob's sexual assaults, but judging by the title of the film, they did not make much progress with their inquiries. Instead, it seems they talked mainly to Jake's apologists, and to others who had little involvement in exposing Jake's crimes. I remember 2016 well: it's not that nobody wants to talk about Jacob Appelbaum, it's that we have talked enough about Jacob, he's a malignant narcissist, if it were up to him, we would do nothing but talk about Jacob Appelbaum. Anyway, for those who now must again talk about him, I am publishing a blog with everything people have said so far about Jacob Appelbaum, in order of importance. See jakegate.ghost.io/ and send it to anyone who tries to talk to you about Jacob Appelbaum but has never met Jacob Appelbaum. If you have a story about Jake that you want to tell, get in touch with me.

@bbhorne On page jakegate.ghost.io/dan-bernstei you have a link "The first public statements from D.J.B about Appelbaum was published June 7, 2016 on his personal blog:" going to "blog.cr.yp.to/20160607-dueproc". This returns an HTTP 404

If you remove the URL parameters, the plain link "blog.cr.yp.to/20160607-dueproc" will work properly.

This seems to be a general feature of DJBs website - it does not seem to process any page request with URL parameters. I don't know why.

@yojimbo thank you!! I will fix this in the morning.

@yojimbo yeah, I don't think I added that. But I changed the link to an archive link, anyway.

@yojimbo @bbhorne that is GENIUS

I wonder if a simple mod_rewrite rule can do that.

@bbhorne
Ugh.
Aside from the hypocrisy of so-called human rights groups enabling a man who violated human rights, one of the things that frustrates me is why we are still talking about a man who is
mind numbingly BORING.
Dude is a creepy parrot who repeats the same things.
I would rather talk an actual parrot, the kind with feathers. A glance at the bottom of an aviary reveals better art, too.

@bbhorne what do you hope to accomplish that wasn’t already done by github.com/cjdelisle/JakeGate ?
