Jeez...why can't they launder their money through the Seychelles and Dominica like normal people do?
Alt headline: Crazed military contractor teams up with public university to torture animals in the name of science.
"Compassion for animals is intimately associated with goodness of character, and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man." -Schopenhauer
2. Assume good faith until iron-clad evidence to the contrary (X years later). Then after that, of course, in any new scenario keep assuming good faith because there has been no FOIA or release of declassified documents yet
A lot of Americans suffer from "lazy decency bias". It allows for the worst of humanity to regularly skate for some heinous actions.
"The CIA ~was~ clearly prepared to kill innocent American citizens."
Is.
And most people can't be troubled to seek out the answers.
According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, money creation happens in banks, not in government.
"The actual process of money creation takes place primarily in banks." [0]

I've been using SimpleX [0] with a couple of friends recently. It appears to work as advertised.
Elon came from a very privileged background. Of late, he's been trying to spin his bio as as plucky guy with little money. His family was upper middle class. Poor little rich boy.
Can't forget Elon.
Sassaman was probably Satoshi. He and Finney worked together at PGP.
Len's publications list [0] alone should be the clincher. People want to believe in shadowy orgs instead of basic human ingenuity.

Len's connection to Hal Finney, the first recipient of a Bitcoin transaction and a hell of a cryptographer in his own right, is quite the breadcrumb.
In 2008, there were only a relative few people who could've created Bitcoin. Len Sassaman, dead since 2011, is the best fit imo.
"By all accounts, Len was on track to be one of the most important cryptographers of his time. But on July 3rd, 2011, he tragically took his own life at 31, following a long battle with depression and functional neurological disorders.
His death coincided with the disappearance of the world’s most famous cypherpunk: Satoshi Nakamoto. Only 2 months before Len died, Satoshi sent their final communication:
I’ve moved on to other things and probably won’t be around in the future." [0]

Money down the xitter. Elon's Folly is a toxic dump of wasted potential.
FTA:
By midday Friday, UAW's verified check was reinstated. The Intercept's reporter, Ryan Grim, posted on X, writing, "Elon put the blue check back up. Maybe the Big Three will fold this fast too."
"Human rights" would be an issue for the US if the US thought it could invade Saudi Arabia and steal its oil.
So either parts of the US government have been lying about for years about not having "alien" bodies and tech or parts of the US government are lying now about having "alien" bodies and tech.
In five years, a "conspiracy theorist" will be defined as someone who refuses to believe the propaganda from on high about UFOs/UAPs.
The Military-intelligence sector has a long history of pushing things out that are less than true, often for the benefit of the national security state.
This UFO/UAP guff is great cover for the advanced AI piloted aircraft/spacecraft sightings that will be inevitable in the coming years.

It is unfortunate that you lost money chasing after a short squeeze
I don't participate in the stock market but this isn't about me anyway. It's about Wall St itself being a massive scam.
Good thing that US three letter agencies would never do such a thing. /s
The letter alleged that as proof of the platform's complicity, instead of cracking down on Saudi spying after the FBI alert, "Twitter began approving Saudi requests for confidential information, including 'emergency disclosures,' in 'droves.'"
On top of that, Xitter is using an Israeli intelligence firm for user verification. No way should Xitter become a bank with so many leaks to foreign intelligence services.

Craig Wright is an oozing pustule.
Voyager Labs and Cobwebs Technologies are both linked to foreign intelligence, specifically Israeli intelligence. NYPD and foreign intelligence are an uncomfortable mix, imo.
I don't see how that is relevant.
It's relevant.
"We have all been sold the fiction that when we buy a stock, we have become proud owners of a great American corporation. Our investment is funding that Company and America’s growth. This is not an accurate description. As I will show in this report, we are actually involved in commodity trading of street name securities in which the trading of and record keeping is completely controlled by DTCC and the elite Wall Street firms with no transparency for outsiders. Operating in this black hole of important information they use loopholes in the clearing and settlement system administered by DTCC and loopholes in the ineffective SHO regulations to create counterfeit shares at will. They can and do expand the supply of street name securities through creating counterfeit shares to overwhelm demand and drive down the stock price." [0]

Are stock in general a ponzi-like scheme?
As a matter of fact, it sort of is. Look up Cede & Co and the Depository Trust Co.
"While private-company stock is still directly owned by shareholders, nearly all publicly traded equities and a majority of bonds are owned by a little-known partnership, Cede & Co., which is the nominee of the Depository Trust Co., a depository that holds securities for some 600 broker-dealers and banks. For each security, Cede & Co. owns a master certificate known as the "global security," which never leaves its vault. Transactions are recorded as debits and credits to DTC members' securities accounts, but the registered owner of the securities — Cede & Co. — remains the same.
What shareholders have rather than direct ownership, then, "is a [contractual] right against their broker...The broker then has a right against the depository institution where they have membership. Then the depository institution is beholden to the issuer. It's [at least] a three-step process before you get any rights to your stock." -American Banker, July 27, 2016 [0]
Thank you for this. If the paper is right, it should be celebrated as a scientific achievement but instead, we got a boatload of national security state propaganda about ufos instead.
Casual spying on citizens is new to Western governments

You're describing commerce, a practice as old as humanity. Capitalism is a relatively recent development with very specific traits.
