MONEY – SWIFT (where nobody has to know your customer vs. Bitcoin)
CRIMINALS HAVE THEIR PRIVACY USING OLD FASHIONED SWIFT
Another 250 million in illicit transactions facilitated by the financial messaging system SWIFT. They are not under any legal obligation to do KYC/AML for these transactions despite having full control over who can and cannot send messages on their network.
Iraqi Banks Used U.S.-Created System to Funnel Funds to Iran
New York Fed’s process to move Baghdad’s oil earnings lacked key money-laundering safeguards, resulting in illicit transfers that financed terrorist groups for years. Baghdad banks wired tens of billions of dollars in that time outside the country, ostensibly for car parts, furniture and other imports. He was one of the biggest operators in an ad hoc banking system set up around two decades ago under the U.S. occupation that gave the Federal Reserve Bank of New York a key role in processing Iraq’s international transactions. Clients in Iraq U.A.E. Bank
The smallest transfer was for exactly $2,970,000, and the largest was for exactly 17,000,000. In the six months audited, one Iraqi company sent precisely $243,000,000 in 17 payments through Iraqi Middle East Investment Bank. The audit called the round numbers a red flag for money laundering.
This post is about how SWIFT is like DeFi (both are neutral messaging platforms, neither are obligated to do KYC/AML)

NEW: Documentary to air next Tuesday on HBO that claims to reveal the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. You don’t need to bother watching it’s dreck.
The doc is by Cullen Hoback, creator of the “Q: Into the Storm” series that exposed the authors of the QAnon conspiracy theory.
He was wrong about Q, he will be wrong about Satoshi.
No one should be surprised with bitcoin becoming more popular that grifters will come out in droves to try and capitalize. If HBO really knew do you think they’d be able to keep it sealed secret and advertise it with a teaser trailer a week before? Give me a break, this is clearly a distractive psyop pre election.
Adam Back angle (since he’s absolutely, 1000%, guaranteed to not be Satoshi Nakamoto.

It’s not just that Trump lies. It’s that almost everything he says is a lie.
Lie after lie after lie. Republican voters need to man up and face reality.

The Oklahoma State Department of Education under Ryan Walters has put out a bid to buy 55k Bibles for public schools. The description of the purchase order is almost word for word a description of the Trump Bible. Millions in school $$ going to Trump
@AccountableGOP
In light of the unsealing of the Jan. 6 filing, I just want to remind everyone that the MOST straightforward case against Trump was the classified documents case which involved conduct AFTER he left office and which he would be on trial for RIGHT NOW but for Judge Loose Cannon.
Melania Trump has come out as staunchly pro-choice.

It’s the economy stupid MAGA cult members. The U.S. labor market strengthened in the weeks before Election Day, as job growth accelerated and the unemployment rate ticked lower. AHOLE Marge thinks the deep state is sending hurricanes to red states to sabotage Trump.

TINA PETERS FOUND GUILTY
FORMER MESA COUNTY CLERK CONVICTED ON MULTIPLE CHARGES
A jury on Monday found former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters guilty on seven of the 10 counts she was charged with in connection with a security breach of her county’s election computer system after the 2020 election.
Spending 9 years in jail for Donald Trump, and when she is released she won’t be able to vote again. Y’all MAGAs are dumb af!!!
This is how you deal with unrepentant criminals who threaten our democracy.
The ties between JD Vance and the Opus Dei network that has penetrated Washington, DC. JD Vance is directly supported by the child traffickers at Opus Dei. You know, he probably shouldn’t be in the White House.
A federal judge will allow the Biden-Harris administration’s sweeping new student loan forgiveness plan to move forward. That could deliver relief to tens of millions of Americans, with the news coming just weeks before the November election.
Bruce Springsteen endorses Harris/Walz, calling Trump “the most
dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime”.
Conservative Liz Cheney urges vote for Harris at joint event, to save
America from Trump Conservative former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney is currently speaking at a joint Harris/Cheney event, urging a vote for Harris, to save the
United States from Trump. This is extraordinary, in a manner I never
expected to see in my lifetime. The two women probably couldn’t be
further apart in terms of most specific policies, but they both care
deeply for America, as Cheney just said.
Liz Cheney walks out to “Change” by Taylor Swift while campaigning for Kamala Harris.
Swift doesn’t want (Trump) a homophobic racist to be President.
“This is bombshell, after bombshell, after bombshell…The reason this (Jack Smith’s filing Unsealed Jack Smith filing ) is public is because Judge Chutkan denied Donald Trump’s motion that he was making opposing this ever being anything we could ever see” — Andrew Weissman

Democrats suspect Netanyahu of attempting to tilt Trump-Harris race
Democrats increasingly suspect that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to interfere in U.S. domestic politics by ignoring calls by President Biden to negotiate a peace deal in Gaza and by confronting Hezbollah and Iran weeks before the U.S. election.
Page 605 of Project 2025 calls for states to be able to opt out of federal labor laws, which could allow some states to have no minimum wage protections at all.
Did you know that capital gains are taxed at a lower rate than worker’s paychecks?
The top capital gains tax rate is 20%.
The top rate on work income is 37%.
92% of capital gains flow to white households.
This is why we say the tax code is upside down.

AI software like Axon’s Draft One that writes police reports could “destroy the ability to cross-examine officers,” EFF’s @MGuariglia warned @KQEDnews”. “If an officer is caught in a lie on the stand, they can always just say, ‘Well, the AI wrote that.’”

Microsoft wants their AI to spy on your web browsing, to “help” you Permitting AI systems to spy on anything you do online, in exchange for the “help” of an AI assistant, is like hiring Satan as a secretary.

Some of Our Top Schools Are Embarrassing Themselves Over Covid
Why are places like Stanford and Johns Hopkins hosting gatherings of well-known coronavirus cranks? If you want just one piece of evidence about the kind of cranks we’re talking about, consider this: A late addition to the Stanford meeting is a senior editor of the Epoch Times, a far-right publication that not only dabbles in Covid conspiracies but is a frequent purveyor of climate change denialism. While the organizers have tried to add a few reasonable voices to the meeting, it doesn’t change the overall thrust of these gatherings. As former Texas governor Ann Richards said, “You can put lipstick and earrings on a hog and call it Monique, but it’s still a pig.”
A Pair of Billionaire Preachers Built the Most Powerful Political Machine in Texas. That’s Just the Start.
“Brandon Darby, the editor of Breitbart Texas, is one of several conservatives who has compared Dunn & Wilks to Russian oligarchs. “They go into other communities and unseat people unwilling to do their bidding,’ he says.’ You kiss the ring or you’re out.’”
