BREAKING: A federal judge has just blocked the Department of Education and OPM from sharing sensitive data with DOGE.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors’ favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Alnur Mussayev, a former head of intelligence in Kazakhstan and former Soviet KGB officer claims that the KGB recruited Trump in 1987.

“The United States of MAGA” is our enemy now.
Think about it for a second.

The United States just voted alongside Russia against a Ukrainian amendment in the United Nations General Assembly, which called for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine.
The United States is now actively supporting Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territory. Countries that voted alongside Russian and the United States included democratic champions North Korea, Eritrea, Belarus, and Hungary.
China and India notably abstained.
Sane Americans are ashamed of trump and his fascist assholes in DC.

A statement from CRA on NSF CISE CUTS
The reported termination today of 10 percent of the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) workforce — including significant cuts to the Computing and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Directorate — is a deeply troubling, self-inflicted setback to U.S. leadership in computing research. These cuts are the very definition of being pennywise and pound foolish — a shortsighted move that will undermine American innovation and technological leadership and decrease our competitiveness and national security while delivering negligible cost savings.”

ROLLING STONE RUBBER STAMPS
HEGSETH & TRUMP WILL INSTALL NEW MILITARY ATTORNEYS WHO WON’T BE ‘ROADBLOCKS TO ANYTHING’
The defense secretary justified the firings of top judge advocate generals
By PETER WADE FEBRUARY 23, 2025
PROJECT 2025 COUP means they won’t be legal roadblocks to criminal activities.

They’re firing lawyers.
They’re firing ethics watchdogs.
They’re firing federal law enforcement.
They’re firing military leaders.
They’re firing federal regulators.
They’re firing everyone who could stand in their way of their coup, corruption, and criminal acts.

Hegseth in 2018, at the King David Hotel (site of the birth of the modern post-WW2 age of terror bombings), telling his Israeli constituency to “buy a lottery ticket” for a “miracle” of rebuilding the Third Temple under “true believers” Trump-Pence-Haley, and do what they need to do on the ground in Jerusalem to make it happen.

UPDATE The NIH is still blocking most ongoing scientific funding over concerns about DEI, according to NIH sources and internal NIH correspondence.
The freeze has continued even after top NIH officials acknowledged that continuing to block the funding would violate a federal court order.

Dr. Cajus Fabricius was arrested by Himmler for uncovering a plot that proved that Marxists, the German Freethinkers League (Athiests), and Ludendorff/Frenssen (pagans), tried to undermine the National Socialists connection to the Church!

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly furious because his latest threats to leave NATO have backfired as European leaders are proposing to replace the US in NATO with Ukraine, start curb stomping Russia all together, and then make Trump utterly irrelevant in all the negotiations.

Former GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger slammed Trump today for abandoning Ukraine: “You, Trump, are a traitorous piece of shit.”

NEXT TIME A REPUBLICAN TELLS YOU THAT “SOCIAL SECURITY IS BROKE,” REMIND THEM THAT PRES. BUSH “BORROWED” $1.37 TRILLION OF SOCIAL SECURITY SURPLUS REVENUE TO PAY FOR HIS TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH AND HIS WAR IN IRAQ… AND NEVER PAID IT BACK.
AMERICANS AGAINST THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

Trump voter who got laid off from IRS tells NBC10:
“I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found [waste] instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason.”
“Business acumen.” Hahahahahahaha!!!

Kakistocracy a system of government which is run by the worst,
least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.
Optimism in the face of absolute disaster is both delusional and a superpower.

#Bitcoin is everything you don’t understand about money combined with everything you don’t understand about computers.~ John Oliver

Michael Saylor met with the SEC’s Crypto Task Force on Friday 2/21/25

STRATEGY HAS NOW BOUGHT OVER 50,000 #BITCOIN SO FAR IN 2025
NEARLY 1,000 BTC PER DAY. LEGENDARY

MICHAEL SAYLOR: We expect Bitcoin to go up29% a year for 21 years.
Michael Saylor suggests that the U.S. should purchase 20% of all #Bitcoin. There is only room for one nation state to buy up 20% of the #Bitcoin supply, and “I think it will be the United States.”

MICHAEL SAYLOR PRESENTED HIS DIGITAL ASSET FRAMEWORK 

5. Opportunity: Establishing the United States as the Global Digital Leader
A strategic digital asset policy can strengthen the US dollar, neutralin the national debt, and position America as the global leader in the 21st-century digital economy.

• USD as the Global Reserve Digital Currency: Grow digital currency markets from $25 billion to SIO trillion, creating massive demand for US Treasuries.
• Digital Capital Growth: Expand global digital capital markets from $2 trillion to $280 trillion, with US investors capturing the majority Of this wealth.
• Digital Assets Leadership: Drive growth in digital assets (beyond Bitcoin) from l trillion to $590 trillion, with the United States dominating this industry.
• Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: Establish a Bitcoin reserve capable Of creating S16—81 trillion in wealth for the US Treasury, providing a pathway to offset national debt.

MICHAEL SAYLOR: The system is rigged
“When I found bitcoin, I was in despair. I had worked for a decade. I had spent 20,000 man years attempting to do everything under the sun. I could not get ahead. And I was the same me. I wasn’t stupid, right? You look at me and say well this is Michael Saylor worked as hard as he could for a decade and could not get ahead, right? And the most pernicious thing you can do to someone is you make them think that they’re just not smart enough and the reason they’re failing is because they’re not smart and they don’t work hard enough. And then you realize, no the system is rigged against you.”

MSTR Is Safe: Debt Can Be Paid Off with Stock, Even If Bitcoin Drops to a Penny!
Michael Saylor says, “It’s not debt, it’s convertible debt. #Bitcoin could go from $100K to $1K, the debt is not going to get called, there is no recourse.”

Saylor: “We don’t have to pay back the billions of dollars in $MSTR debt if Bitcoin crashes….we’ll just dump on shareholders until the stock is worthless. That’s the point.”
So he’s basically saying he can dilute the shareholders as much as he needs to.

UTAH IS JUST 1 VOTE AWAY FROM APPROVING A STRATEGIC #BITCOIN RESERVE

In summary: The next Bitcoin is Bitcoin.

Jason Lowery @JasonPLowery
“Digital gold” is simply an abstraction we use today to conceptualize the operational implementation of reusable proof-of-work, known as Bitcoin. In a few years, as Bitcoin becomes universally recognized as the most secure method for transmitting and storing financial data, new abstractions—such as “digital power” and “digital matter”—will gain widespread acceptance. In my view, these latter concepts represent the most intriguing and valuable applications of reusable proof-of-work protocols.
Everyone understands “internet money” now. It’s become a boring topic IMO, brimming with affinity scammers. “Digital power” is far more interesting.

The future of daily financial transactions remain the same way as we do them now:
(1) segwit/lightning rails,
(2) stablecoins,
(3) USD. The main difference will just be that the stablecoins/USD will be backed by Bitcoin.

1. #Bitcoin is a zero to one invention
2. There is no second best
3. Everyone buys #bitcoin at the price they deserve

@MalwareJake Important Good Tip but amazing that it still needs to be said!
Pro tip: set your logs to be all UTC. This will save your forensic analyst (who bills by the hour) the trouble of having to convert timestamps (and even figuring out which timestamps are in which TZ).
It also keeps them ordered correctly when forwarded to a SIEM, especially from multiple TZ’s.
