More days searching for Ghost, not just pages about Ghost. I do not believe that the collective on this list could not supply me with a URL, so IT must not exist, or it is intentionally being withheld.
Steve, I did dance on the edge of the abyss, and just a bit down slope. But my targets were government facilities (trains carrying ammo across the salt flats to San Diego and Vietnam) or institutions like large banks(they were still incredibly naive with regard cybercrime in those days). Can still quote my "Little Red Book," and, had they issued them, could show my SDS membership. Tales for the grandkids. Gillian, Everyone on the list knows I have indulged psychedlics since 1969. I know how to extrract heroin, coke, and cook Meth; but have absolutely no interest in doing so. Have grown shrooms and extracted psylocibin. I know there is a fairly simple way to synthesize MDMA without using the banned precursor chemicals and might ask Ghost about that. davew On Sat, Jan 25, 2025, at 6:34 PM, steve smith wrote: > DaveW - >> OK, assume me to be a sociopath, but please tell me where and how to access >> ghostGPT. > I don't assume *you* to be a sociopath.
