I mean what if the NSA makes an all-out attempt to bring monero down. Political hysteria about dark markets, "terrorism, drugs and child pornography" could lead to that, in the worst case.

I do not have 100% evidence that the U.S. TLAs are the world monopoly provider of child porn (as they are in terrorism and drugs). Please lead me to the sources of information..

Since 1968, Israel is bombing themselves, especially children, whenever their atrocities do not cause enough factual enemy action:

Quote from: Wikipedia

Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan asked for a "principal approval" for a raid, but this was denied by the cabinet. On December 13, Operation Karameh was scheduled for the next night , it was placed in the hands of both Brigade 35 of the Paratroop Corps and the Sayeret Matkal special-operations force. The operation was called off, rescheduled for March 12 and then called off again.[5] Dayan warned the other ministers that a bus might strike a mine.[28] On 18 March, an Israeli school bus was blown up by a mine near Be'er Ora in the Arava, killing two adults and wounding ten children.[7] This was the 38th Fatah operation in little more than three months.[20] That night, the cabinet approved the attack.

Otherwise the article is shameful one-sided propaganda, as Talk page clearly indicates.

At least in the countries where I live, the centrally-scripted media is trying to give the impression that "times and opinions are changing". Despite of this, there is no proof of any change happening. Topics as different as homosexuality, whether to allow migration by people who cannot integrate, or to join Euro or NATO (both have been joined defacto but not in the legal order because both would be turned down by referendum which therefore cannot be organised), the majority of people think what they think, and see through the attempts to manipulate the public opinion.

The theatre in the current bankster-lead politburo is in no way different than in the soviet one (Soviet Union = controlled by the same guys, handy!) Now more than ever, the complete ignoring of everything they want you to believe, is needed.

BTC was not killed or thwarted by allegations of drugs and money laundering (both bankster monopolies). It needed to be integrated to bankster control systems, fractional reserve, KYC, etc. to kill it. Banksters can kill anything, but create nothing.

=> I do not expect a publicity attack on XMR. It is so difficult to use still, nobody will cease to use it because of another bankster campaign, but their even mentioning of it might cause more to join in!
