Jimmy Carter Memorial
In 2015 on the role of money in American politics.
“It violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president. And the same thing applies to governors and U.S. senators and congress members.

Donald Trump will be sentenced as a felon to 34 counts of campaign finance fraud on Friday 10th 2025. Trump was found guilty by a jury of his own peers in 2024 while campaigning for president.
Fridays sentencing disqualifies Trump from taking office.

CA FIRE
CA FIRE On the CA fires, and ***REBUILDING***
Fossil fuel giants have spent decades exploiting an obscure California state tax break to avoid paying up to $146M of annual tax revenue — revenue that could be used to fight the fires currently raging across LA. California’s oil and gas companies avoided paying billions of dollars in taxes that could have been used to fight the inferno.
Last year State Farm dropped 70% of their customers in Pacific Palisades. As of Sept. 2024, the state’s insurer of last resort program had $5.9 billion of exposure in the area.
AccuWeather estimates damage caused by the Los Angeles fires will cost upwards of $57 BILLION to repair, making them the costliest wildfires in state history.
California legislators had an opportunity to create a climate superfund last year, which would have made fossil fuel companies pay the state tens of billions of dollars for the damages of climate change. The bill never made it to a vote.
Mike Johnson has reportedly directed every Republican in the House of Representatives to write a letter to the Nobel Prize Committee to nominate Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

ZUCKERBERG’S RAT PENIS
No sooner does Mark Zuckerberg get rid of fact-checkers on Facebook,… than the site becomes completely flooded with fake posts saying that he’s a convicted pedophile,… and that he’s dead.
@carolecadwalla
So just as Zuckerberg announces the death of factchecking, yet more new documents emerge about the Cambridge Analytica cover up & ‘alleged wrongdoing on a truly colossal scale’ & that he is to be deposed for interview.
I gave this TED talk warning Silicon Valley of the profound threat of it posed to democracy nearly 6 years ago. It provoked a lawsuit that caused me years of pain. The UK government did nothing to contain the threat. And here we are.
How Facebook Broke Democracy
In an unmissable talk, journalist Carole Cadwalladr digs into one of the most perplexing events in recent times: the UK’s super-close 2016 vote to leave the European Union.
Zuckerberg has also been noticed for deposition after “alleged wrongdoing on a truly colossal scale.” He was already deposed last month in Hawaii for 7hrs. I would expect SEC closely compares transcripts to their 2019 depo which @zamaan_qureshi managed to unseal. THREAD
PALANTIR – PETER THIEL
Whitney Webb @_whitneywebb Contributing editor of http://unlimitedhangout.com
THREAD Palantir is not just a military contractor, it was a company created to privatize and house the Bush-era, neocon-run surveillance program Total Information Awareness (TIA) program, housed previously at DARPA, and put it under increased CIA control (though the CIA was also intimately involved with TIA). TIA was shut down by Congress because it would have readicted the constitutional right to privacy, but Palantir has accomplished that and gotten away with it because it is a private sector entity.
Palantir’s earliest funder besides Peter Thiel – The CIA
Palantir’s first client for its first several years as a company – The CIA
Where did Palantir engineers every 2 weeks for years for guidance in developing their products? – CIA HQ
Palantir’s originally intended clients per CEO Alex Karp – The CIA
If there every was a CIA front company it’s Palantir. (Though Peter Thiel has since quipped that the CIA is a front for Palantir)
Gabriel Cruz @GabrielCruzTrue Jan 8
It’s worth mentioning that Total Information Awareness was the brainchild of Science Applications International Corporation w/Admiral Pointdexter
SAIC is a huge link to the Mockingbird Journalist network who very frequently misreport or omit entirely how it all connects to SAIC.
PUTIN
SIR WILLIAM BROWDER reveals the dictator’s shocking secrets – and how he went from weakling to monster
PUTIN To prevent 140 million Russians from turning on him, he has to keep the country in a state of permanent siege and paranoia. He has taken a lead from the 16th century political strategist Niccolo Machiavelli – in order to stay in power, create an enemy and start a foreign war.
If overthrown, nowhere on the planet would be safe for the 72-year-old to take refuge, despite his staggering fortune. He would be extradited back to Russia, thrown into jail, tried and almost certainly executed.
If we continue to underestimate him, by permitting him to strike a deal that ends the Ukraine conflict, he will wage war on us – by covert means such as sabotage and terrorism, by economic methods and, when these are not enough, by unleashing an armed assault on a Nato country that will plunge us into World War III.
Putin’s only way forward is to escalate until he achieves a complete victory. Many people are getting tired of this war, including Donald Trump, who returns to the White House this month, and thinks he can strike a deal.
Spain and France have now joined Britain and Germany in asking the European Commission to open an investigation into Elon Musk under EU’s DSA, openly accusing him of spreading misinformation and interfering in European politics.

Wow–House Republicans are trying to repeal the $35 cap on insulin that Democrats passed. That cap literally saved lives as people were giving themselves fewer shots because they could not afford their insulin which cost hundreds of dollars per vial. Why is the GOP doing this?
@MorePerfectUS
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey has signed legislation increasing oversight over private equity in healthcare, subjecting operators to new reporting requirements and increasing fines. It closes a loophole that let for-profit healthcare companies circumvent the standards required of nonprofit providers.
Steward Health, a major PE-backed operator in Massachusetts, went bankrupt last year and sold more than a half-dozen hospitals.
As CEO Ralph de la Torre lived a life of luxury, patients were dying on operating tables.
“I spent years in court trying to hold Steward to this standard, and I’m glad that our laws will no longer be exploited in this way,” Healey said.

They produce automated water tech. Senator Mullin represents Oklahoma, and Oklahoma announced they are upgrading their water meters afterwards.
What’s worse, Senator Mullin sits on the Environmental Services Senate Committee.
He is up on the purchase, beating the S&P.
He also bought shares in Sprouts Farmers Market earlier in 2024.
The stock $SFM has now risen over 200% since his purchase.

Rat penis Zuckerberg Divorce? On December 22, 2024, a post on Binance suggested that if there is no prenuptial agreement, Priscilla Chan could receive half of Zuckerberg’s estimated $200 billion net worth, which would be $100 billion.
However, on January 4, 2025, Business Insider reported that in 2024, Zuckerberg publicly doted on his wife, Priscilla Chan, which could indicate a strong relationship rather than a pending divorce.
