ECP NetHappenings Concealing the death of a U.S. Senator

 

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Do not give in.

MITCH MCCONNELL

Intentionally concealing the death of a U.S. senator to manipulate legislative business or the succession process could expose those involved to serious federal criminal charges. No one gets to hide a death for political gain.

Senator Mitch McConnell’s current Chief of Staff is Terry Carmack.
As Chief of Staff, he earns roughly $226,000–$230,000 per year.
He has declined to answer questions about McConnell’s condition the last 40 days. Is he conspiring to hide the truth from Kentucky voters?

ESSAY How to Report to Law Enforcement Legally

Under the HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 CFR § 164.512), a healthcare worker can disclose protected health information (PHI) to law enforcement under specific conditions:
Good Faith Belief of a Crime: A worker can disclose PHI if they believe in good faith that the information is evidence of a crime that occurred on the hospital’s premises.
Alerting Police to a Death: If the staff believes a patient’s death or total incapacitation is the result of criminal conduct, they are permitted to notify law enforcement.
HIPAA also contains a specific whistleblower provision (45 CFR § 164.502(j)(1)). A healthcare employee is legally protected if they disclose PHI to:
•A federal or state health oversight agency
•A health care accreditation organization
•An attorney retained by the employee to determine their legal options

MAPPED: 70 Percent of Trump’s Cabinet Tied to Project 2025 Groups
More than 50 high-level Trump administration officials have links to groups behind the Heritage Foundation-backed plan, a DeSmog analysis found.
The numbers are staggering: 17 of 24 cabinet-level officials have links to Project 2025 groups.
“That’s a hugely significant finding,” says Duke University’s Nancy MacLean. “In Heritage’s own longtime language, ‘personnel is policy.’”

VP JD Vance leads the pack with ties to at least 5 different Project 2025 groups. He even wrote the foreword to Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts’ book.
In 2021: “Fire every civil servant in the administrative state. Replace them with our people.”
OMB Director Russell Vought—a key Project 2025 architect—authored the plan’s central chapter on executive power. His vision: “break the bureaucracy to presidential will.”
He’s wasted no time implementing it.We found THREE additional centers of influence that appeared separate from Project 2025 but are actually deeply connected:

In this email, Epstein straight up admits he is the person who gets children for sex sent to his island. This is it.
There’s the admission. No questions. No conspiracy. This is real from the DOJ Website. The original email is searchable at epsteinsearch.info Search “Aleszea” or “that person is me” — 293,000+ declassified documents, all searchable. 

Jeffrey Epstein’s office was funding a reception for Stacey Plaskett. “To whom we are to send the contribution for Stacey Plaskett,” his assistant wrote, July 17, 2018. Epstein was a registered sex offender. Plaskett represents the Virgin Islands in Congress.

BITCOIN ESSAY Cory @ SWAN
Bitcoin does not work because of “trust.”.
It works because anyone, anywhere, can verify.

You don’t need to trust Mike Novogratz. You don’t need to trust me. You don’t need to trust “the community.”

YOU can run the software yourself. YOU can verify the supply. YOU can verify the rules. YOU can verify every transaction that has ever settled.

That is the entire point of Bitcoin.

It is NOT a shared belief system. It is not dependent on some collective story holding together. It is a monetary network made stronger by every additional individual who independently arrives at the rational conclusion that Bitcoin is the superior form of money.

The “community” is just the secondary effect of that individual discovery process. The primary thing is the verification. That’s what makes it antifragile. That’s what makes it different from every other asset Novogratz ever blew up trading.

Until more tradfi people actually understand this distinction, they’re going to keep reducing Bitcoin to the same trust-based frameworks that failed us in the first place.

AI

Former DOGE workers who have no experience in cybersecurity or cyberwarfare have launched a cybersecurity startup with $160 mill in funding. They’re aiming for US gov contracts that are focused on using AI in offensive and defensive cyber operations.

The White House accuses Moonshot AI of stealing from Anthropic: Michael Kratsios, technology advisor for the Trump administration, claims the Chinese AI lab “distilled” capabilities from Anthropic’s Fable model to build Kimi K3. Kratsios also alleges they trained the model on restricted Nvidia servers. Now, the Treasury Department is warning of possible sanctions for the alleged IP theft. But Silicon Valley is pushing back. Almost 200 startups, including YCombinator, are asking the administration not to block Chinese open-source models.

A company says it used Chinese AI to contain a cyberattack because US model guardrails stymied its defense.
It turns out the attacker was a test model that reportedly “escaped” from OpenAI—founded by Sam Altman who is fear mongering about Chinese AI.

Top American Al Execs Sound Alarm on Chinese Models WP
OpenAl and Anthropic executives are sounding the alarm about the rise of cheap Al, particularly powerful new models produced in China, suggesting they will lead to a “dystopian” Al future and present unacceptable security risks without regulation.

ESSAY Scott Galloway just explained why China doesn’t need to build better AI than America. It only needs to make American AI worthless.

Galloway: “I think China is beginning to engage in what I’ll call AI dumping.”

Not competing. Dumping.

It’s the term economists use for flooding a foreign market with below-cost goods until the domestic industry collapses.

Galloway: “They’re going to have a series of open-weight models. About a third of corporations now are supposedly using Chinese lightweight open-weight models that are cheaper.”

Not better. Cheaper.

A third of corporations. Already.

China isn’t trying to out-innovate Silicon Valley. It’s trying to collapse the economics beneath it.

Price warfare at the infrastructure layer.

Galloway: “If I were Xi, I would just dump cheap AI into the US market.”

This playbook is old. China ran it with steel. Ran it with solar. Ran it with semiconductors.

Flood a market with a cheaper version until the domestic industry can’t sustain itself.

AI is next.

Galloway: “The moment large corporations start announcing they’re disengaging these multi-million dollar site licenses with Anthropic or OpenAI, they’re using these inexpensive Chinese models…”

One CFO after another decides the Chinese model at a fraction of the cost is good enough.

Not better. Good enough.

“Good enough” at a lower price has killed more market leaders than any superior product ever has.

Galloway: “…and the market realizes that there’s no way they can justify these incredible valuations, I think the US market crashes.”

Not because the technology failed.

Because the business model did.

American AI companies are valued on the assumption that corporations will pay premium prices for premium models.

China’s whole strategy is to make that assumption false.

Galloway: “40% of the S&P now is directly or tangentially related to this giant bet America’s making on AI.”

40% of the S&P. Tied to one sector.

Galloway: “The majority of GDP growth over the last two years has come from AI CapEx.”

The majority of GDP growth. From one source.

America didn’t diversify its future. It concentrated everything into a single bet, then left that bet undefended.

Galloway: “If that slows down, we are immediately in a recession.”

Immediately. Not gradually. Not over quarters.

The distance between AI boom and American recession is one procurement decision.

America built the most advanced AI on Earth and forgot to build an economy that survives someone selling it cheaper.

The threat to American AI was never that China would build something smarter.

It was that China would build something cheaper, and American corporations would choose the price.

China’s real weapon isn’t Chinese technology. It’s American capitalism.

The same rational self-interest that built the AI industry will dismantle it the moment a cheaper alternative appears. The market has no patriotism. Only price sensitivity.

The technology race was never the real race.

The real race was always whether America could turn its AI dominance into something that survives being undercut.

America hasn’t even started running it.

China already has.

I NEVER thought something like this would have happened in my lifetime.
Anyone who thinks “The Institutions” of the United States will keep us safe are fucking out o their minds.

Trump Facts

First president in modern history to increase the deficit every single year of a full term. Fiscal responsibility, apparently, was always just a talking point.

DOJ refuses to hand over Epstein files after judge’s order

DOJ declines to turn over redacted information after judge’s order to release documents or explain why they’re being withheld

Flew on Epstein’s plane at least seven times.
Pleaded the Fifth more than 400 times in a single deposition. Nothing says “innocent” like refusing to answer a single question about your own business.
34 felony convictions. A record most people would call disqualifying.
91 criminal charges.
Accused of sexual misconduct or assault by at least 26 women. But sure, tell me again how he’s a great guy.
6 corporate bankruptcies. The self proclaimed greatest businessman alive somehow keeps running out of money.
5 draft deferments. Funny how the toughest guy in the room never actually showed up for duty.
4 criminal indictments. Not two. Not three. Four.
2 impeachments. A club of exactly one president.
2 of his own companies convicted of criminal tax fraud. Convicted. Not accused. Convicted.
1 fake university shut down.
Paid 25 million dollars to settle the Trump University fraud lawsuit because scamming people who believed in you costs money eventually.
Ordered to pay 5 million dollars in the first E Jean Carroll sexual abuse verdict, then hit with 83.3 million more in the second.
A jury said it twice so nobody could pretend it was a fluke.
1 fake charity shut down. Even his charity was a grift.
Ordered to pay 2 million dollars for looting his own so called charity.
Stealing from a charity with his own name on it.
Found liable for business fraud and originally slapped with a penalty topping 450 million dollars, later thrown out on appeal while the fraud finding itself stuck to him anyway.
Kept the debt to GDP ratio above 100 percent for his entire first term.
Presided over the largest single day point drop in Dow Jones history at the time. So much for the guy who claimed to be a genius with money.
Set the record for the longest government shutdown in US history in his first term at 35 days, then couldn’t resist beating his own miserable record in his second term with a 43 day shutdown, followed by yet another shutdown just months later. Encore nobody asked for.
Added roughly 2.25 trillion dollars to the national debt in his first year back in office alone, pushing the debt past 39 trillion dollars.
Somebody remind me who the party of fiscal discipline is again.
Pushed through the largest defense budget increase since World War Two while the debt kept climbing anyway.
Purged more than 300,000 federal employees in his first year back.
Efficient, if your goal is chaos.
Pardoned nearly 1,600 January 6 Capitol rioters on his very first day back in office, including Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders convicted of seditious conspiracy.
Law and order, except when it’s inconvenient.
At least 40 of those pardoned rioters have already been rearrested, charged, or sentenced for new crimes since walking free. Shocking absolutely nobody.
His family’s crypto ventures, including a meme coin and World Liberty Financial, pulled in more than 1.4 billion dollars in disclosed earnings while he sat in the Oval Office.
Draining the swamp was apparently code for filling his own pockets.
Sent the National Guard into American cities at a cost of nearly 500 million taxpayer dollars in 2025 alone.
His own tariffs are projected to cost the average American household more than 2,500 dollars this year.
You’re paying for this. Not China. You.
Now sitting at one of the lowest approval ratings of his second term, stuck in the high 30s while inflation and gas prices make everyday life harder.
None of this is a conspiracy theory, a rumor, or something you saw in a group chat.
It is the actual, documented record, sitting in plain sight for anyone willing to look.
So, the next time someone tells you to relax and give him a chance, ask them how many more indictments, judgments, and shutdown records he needs to rack up before that chance runs out. VIA~ Debrina Elkins

The Epstein network is the same as the Franklin network and the John David Norman Network

The Epstein network is the same as the Franklin network.
The Franklin child prostitution ring allegations began in June 1988 in Omaha, Nebraska, when multiple prominent Nebraskan political and business figures were accused of involvement in a child sex trafficking ring.

The Franklin network is the same as the John David Norman network.
John David Norman operated a vast, interstate child sexual exploitation and trafficking network known as The Delta Project (and previously the Odyssey Foundation and Epic International). Active primarily from the 1950s through the 1980s, the network facilitated the trafficking of underage boys across the United States, Canada, and Europe, maintaining a client base of tens of thousands of individuals, including high-profile figures such as politicians, doctors, and serial killers like Dean Corll and John Wayne Gacy.

The measure advanced despite strong Democratic resistance, driven in part by the ongoing U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran.

UPDATE: LG Electronics says it will suspend smart TV apps that secretly turn hundreds of millions of TVs into residential proxy nodes, after researchers found the proxy SDKs in more than 42% of apps in LG’s webOS store and over a quarter of Samsung’s Tizen apps, routing unknown third parties’ internet traffic through users’ home connections. Residential proxy firms pay developers to bundle these SDKs, then rent the resulting home IP addresses to customers who often use them for large-scale scraping aka stealing your shit (also for AI training). Proxy nodes are being embedded at scale in hardware people don’t treat as computers and can’t easily inspect, and LG’s cleanup does nothing for Samsung’s Tizen store, where the same problem is present.

An Israeli company has backdoored hundreds of millions of households through countless Smart TV apps, and they’re quietly turning Samsung and LG TVs into exit nodes for AI web-scraping.

Samsung and LG didn’t. The culprit is Bright Data’s proxy SDK, which rides inside Tizen and webOS apps, 200+ on webOS alone. Datacenter IPs get blocked, home IPs don’t. SOURCE

While we were all distracted with OpenAI/Hugging Face yesterday, Oracle released 1449 new security patches to fix 1235 unique CVEs across 32 Oracle product families.
The highlight: Fusion Middleware is the overwhelming leader: 154 CVEs with critical ratings out of its 355 patches, and ten of those scored a perfect 10.0
219 of these vulnerabilities may be remotely exploitable without authentication.

The experiment escaped the lab. OpenAI’s models broke containment and breached Hugging Face. We are holding radium in our bare hands. What governments and organizations should do next, and why tighter commercial guardrails are exactly the wrong move….

0.001% TAX LuxLeaks

A junior auditor at @PwC in Luxembourg is getting ready to leave his job. Before he goes he goes looking for some training documents to take with him.

Instead he finds a folder that anyone in the company could open. No password. No warning. Just sitting there.

Inside are hundreds of secret deals between the Luxembourg government and some of the biggest companies on the planet. Deals that let them pay next to nothing in tax.

His name is Antoine Deltour. He copies 30,000 pages. That is the whole story. He copies a folder.

Let me explain what was actually in it, because this is where it gets interesting.

Between 2002 and 2010, PwC alone helped broker 548 of these secret tax agreements, known as tax rulings, for over 340 companies. Apple. Ikea. Pepsi. Disney. Deutsche Bank. AIG. Koch Industries. Skype. GlaxoSmithKline. Coach. Abbott Laboratories. Household names, every one of them.

The trick was simple. Companies moved profits through Luxembourg shell structures and Luxembourg quietly agreed in writing to look the other way on tax.

Some of these companies ended up paying an effective tax rate under 1 percent. In some cases as low as 0.001 percent. On billions of dollars.

Who was running Luxembourg for almost 20 years while this machine was built and protected? Jean-Claude Juncker, Prime Minister of Luxembourg until 2013.

Deltour did not leak straight to the world. In 2012 he passed the documents to French journalist Edouard Perrin, who used them for a TV documentary.

PwC noticed and filed a complaint with the Luxembourg courts. Then in November 2014, ICIJ @ICIJorg pulled together over 80 journalists across more than 30 media outlets in 26 countries and published the full scale of it as LuxLeaks.

The timing could not have been worse for Juncker, or depending how you look at it, could not have been better. He had just been elected President of the European Commission days before the story broke. The man who ran the tax haven for two decades was now running Europe.

A month later ICIJ dropped LuxLeaks 2, showing the other Big 4 accounting firms Deloitte, EY and KPMG were running the exact same playbook. This was never one bad apple. It was standard practice.

Juncker faced a no confidence vote in the European Parliament over it. He survived. Deltour was not so lucky.

December 2014, Luxembourg charges him with theft, violation of trade secrecy and fraudulent access to a computer system. He is facing up to 5 years in prison and a fine of 1,250,000 euros. For opening an unlocked folder on his way out the door.

April 2016, the criminal trial. Deltour and his colleague Raphael Halet, another former PwC employee who leaked a second batch of documents, are both convicted. Deltour gets 12 months suspended and a 1,500 euro fine. Perrin the journalist is acquitted.

Deltour appeals. Loses. Appeals again. Finally in May 2018 the Luxembourg Court of Appeal fully recognises him as a genuine whistleblower under European Court of Human Rights standards and acquits him completely.

Halet’s fight took even longer. He lost his Luxembourg appeals and only won at the European Court of Human Rights Grand Chamber in 2023, nearly a decade after he first spoke up.

The European Commission that Juncker went on to lead never opened a single formal investigation into a single LuxLeaks tax ruling. Not one. It did chase Starbucks, Fiat and Amazon over separate deals, but the mountain of paperwork Deltour handed over sat there untouched.

So that is the LuxLeaks story. Build a tax avoidance machine for 20 years and get promoted to run the continent. Copy the evidence of it and spend most of a decade fighting to stay out of prison.

 

ESSAY Michael T. Lester @MichaelTLester

If I were still in the Marine Corps, today would be the day I resigned my commission.

I dedicate a portion of my life to the United States and our way of life, not another country.

For 14 years I proudly wore the uniform. Today, the House voted to merge portions of our military with Israel, without even a debate on that part of the bill. They voted to legally bind us to a country whose war crimes are being streamed daily to the world while our government continues to ignore them, and even fund them. I could no longer wear my uniform with honor or pride in that action, so rather than wear it in shame, I would choose not to wear it.

I don’t blame the people of the United States. Most are too busy trying to just live to fully understand what this all means. Many of those that think they do understand will comment that it isn’t a big deal, but they are products of the exact propaganda that let this happen and most have never formally studied history, worn the uniform, or stood on the land in the middle east and interacted with people one-on-one in multiple countries and regions in the area. They are misinformed, and I don’t blame them. That is by design.

Congress is different. It is their job to be informed. It is their job to represent us. It is their job to put America first. Instead, they’ve become beholden to foreign governments who fund their campaigns. They proudly wear the military uniform of other countries in congressional chambers. They fly the flag of other countries on their office door, and now, they dishonor us all.

I am despondent. Looking at the lessons of history, looking at the trends, looking at the actions of our government, looking at our position in the world, I see no peaceful way for this to be fixed, if it can be fixed at all.

I am sure that some will comment “If you don’t like it, then leave.” They think they are being patriots by supporting our government without question, but patriots, true patriots, hold their government accountable. These people are unwittingly the agents of those that would destroy or subjugate us because they are doing the enemy’s work. What better way to defeat someone in a battle than by convincing them not to show up.

Lincoln’s final words of the Gettysburg address seem more appropriate than ever at this point:

“It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

The fight isn’t over. I’m despondent, but not quitting. I will continue to fight the good fight because America, and Americans, are worth it.

I truly believe in America first. If our Congress doesn’t share that belief and is willing to sell us out, then that is where the first battle should be fought.

Just saw a video of a guy crowing about getting 10M views on TikTok & Instagram for saying four months ago that we invaded Venezuela and Iran over a Trump-Saudi plot involving nuclear power.

So imagine how I feel having written a 600-page NYT bestseller about it SEVEN YEARS AGO.
