WHY ISN’T EVERYBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS
Bank of America settles lawsuit brought on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein victims
Mar 17, 20267:25 PM EDT
NEW YORK (AP) — Bank of America has tentatively settled a lawsuit claiming it ignored suspicious financial transactions involving Jeffrey Epstein while he was sexually abusing hundreds of girls and women.

Jay Clayton, who was in charge of DOJ Epstein redactions, holds between $1.5 million and $6 million worth of Apollo Global Management stock. Leon Black was under investigation by SDNY in 2023. Clayton is now the top prosecutor for that office. Leon Black left Apollo, the company he helped start, in 2021. Jay Clayton was also the independent investigator hired by Apollo to determine if Black engaged in malfeasance. Clayton determined there was none.
Wegelin Bank Allegedly Conspired To Hide More Than $1.2 Billion from the IRS United States Seizes $16 Million from Wegelin’s U.S. Correspondent Bank Account in Connection With First-Ever Indictment of Swiss Bank

“•JPMorgan Chase settled with the U.S. Virgin Islands for $75 million in September 2023.

• Of the $75 million settlement, approximately $55 million was allocated to local charities and law enforcement efforts, including $10 million for a mental health fund for survivors.

• $20 million of the U.S. Virgin Islands settlement went to cover legal fees.

• JPMorgan Chase did not admit liability in the settlement with the U.S. Virgin Islands.

• In a separate settlement, JPMorgan Chase agreed to pay $290 million to Epstein victims in June 2023.

• The combined total of the two public settlements related to Epstein is $365 million.

• The U.S. Virgin Islands lawsuit alleged JPMorgan processed over $1 billion in transactions for Epstein between 2003 and 2019 (though JPMorgan did not admit this as fact in the settlement).”

Money did not merely resolve liability; it replaced truth with quiet. It transformed crimes of extraordinary moral gravity into balance-sheet events, converting human suffering into a cost of doing business. Through settlements, deferred accountability, and procedural closure, financial power functioned as a solvent—dissolving public reckoning before it could fully form. This is not justice. It is transactional silence.

Trump is dismantling democracy at ‘unprecedented’ speed, global report finds

The national debt just crossed $39 trillion- almost doubling since Trump = vowed to erase it By Nick Lichtenberg March 18, 2026, 4:13 PM ET

“Just after the 1987 crash… I was chatting with a trader, and he stopped mid-conversation to take a call, scribbled down a big order, and he turned to me and said, “That’s the Fed buying futures.” Wow. The Federal Reserve’s not supposed to do that.”

BITCOIN

The internet had 16 million users in 1995. I WAS THERE IN 1991. Most people said it was a fad. Bitcoin has 100 million users today. We’re still early. Future you will remember this moment.

Imagine working 9-5 for 50 years then The Fed prints 40% of the total money supply and inflates away 20 years of your work. The greatest transfer of wealth in human history is happening right now. From those who don’t understand Bitcoin to those who do. Which side of history are you on?

“Not your keys, not your coins.”
Bitcoin is the first asset in history where YOU can be your own bank. No middleman. No gatekeepers. That’s revolutionary. Your bank can freeze your account in 3 seconds. Your Bitcoin wallet can’t be touched by anyone on Earth. That’s freedom.

Your grandparents’ dollar bought 30x more than yours does today. Bitcoin has a fixed supply. It cannot be printed, debased, or inflated away.

Morgan Stanley files second amended S-1 for its proposed spot Bitcoin ETF.

North Carolina has advanced a bill to establish a state Bitcoin reserve.
The proposal would allow up to 10% of state funds to be allocated to Bitcoin, managed by the State Treasurer using cold storage and multi-signature security. Access to the reserve would be tightly restricted to emergencies or legislatively approved uses, with audits and public reporting required. North Carolina joins states like Texas, Arizona, and New Hampshire exploring Bitcoin reserves.

TECH

The future of software is sovereignty, not surveillance.

@misha @mishadavinci
Technological Revolution
Blockchain fundamentally restructures power.
It’s why we survive the age of AI.
Big AI is being sold as the beginning of a golden age.
It’s not. It’s the last gasp of the collapsing old order.
The new order runs on decentralization, privacy, digital ownership, and sovereignty.
By 2030, these technologies define the world:
privacy
encryption
decentralization
self-sovereign identity
digital ownership
peer-to-peer networks
local-first
open source
censorship resistance
personal AI
protocols, not platforms
sovereignty over convenience.
Not Big AI, mass surveillance, or digital feudalism.

SOCIAL SECURITY

‘DOGE’ has been stealing your records from Social Security for the last year. Thanks to brave whistleblowers like Charles Borges, the truth is starting to come out.The Social Security Administration now says members of Elon Musk’s DOGE team working at the agency last year accessed and shared sensitive data.
The disclosure seemed to confirm some key concerns first raised in a whistleblower complaint last summer filed by the agency’s chief data officer, Chuck Borges.
Musk’s minions need to come forward to Congress and testify UNDER OATH.

Epstein file EFTA00090314, a raw intelligence report states that, “Trump has been compromised by Israel. And Kushner is the real brains behind his organization and his presidency.”
https://spookyconnections.com/2026/03/19/fbi-document-epstein-was-an-intelligence-asset-trump-compromised-by-israel/

An FBI document released by the US Department of Justice in January 2026 contains one of the most explosive claims in the entire Epstein file release.
It has barely been reported in the UK.
Here’s what it says.
1/
Document: EFTA00090314 https://x.com/YourAnonCentral/status/2034689256107778112/photo/1
FBI FD-1023 — the standard form for recording intelligence from a Confidential Human Source.
Filed: 19 October 2020
Los Angeles Field Office
Synopsis: “Foreign influence on U.S. officials by Israel, Russia, and UAE.”
Released: DOJ Epstein Files DataSet 9, January 2026.
2/
The source told the FBI that Epstein’s attorney Alan Dershowitz informed Alexander Acosta — then U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida — that Epstein “belonged to both U.S. and allied intelligence services.”
This is why, the source claims, Epstein walked in 2008 with a single state charge.
3/
This is not just a source’s claim.
In 2019 the Miami Herald reported that Acosta himself told Trump transition officials the Epstein case was “above his pay grade” — that Epstein “belonged to intelligence” and he had been told to leave it alone.
The prosecutor who signed the deal confirmed the substance of it.
4/
The document also records that the source monitored phone calls between Dershowitz and Epstein, taking notes during those calls.
After each call, according to the source, Mossad would contact Dershowitz to debrief.
The document states the source believed Dershowitz “was co-opted by Mossad and subscribed to their mission.”
5/
On Epstein and Israel directly:
“Epstein was close to the former Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Barak, and trained as a spy under him.”
Released Epstein files show Barak visited Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse more than 30 times between 2013 and 2017. That is separately documented.
6/
The document also records the source’s claim that:
“Trump has been compromised by Israel. Kushner is the real brains behind his organization and his Presidency.”
Rex Tillerson’s wife Renda told the source that Jared Kushner was running a rival, parallel State Department during Rex’s tenure as Secretary of State. Rex affirmed her account.
7/
To be clear on what this document is and isn’t.
It is a genuine, unclassified FBI intelligence report — public record, released by the DOJ.
The claims within it are raw source intelligence. The FBI did not confirm them as established fact.
What is confirmed independently: the Acosta admission. The Barak visits. The document’s existence.
8/
The document’s synopsis could not be more stark.
“Foreign influence on U.S. officials by Israel, Russia, and UAE.”
Filed in 2020. Retained through DOJ review. Released January 2026.
The question isn’t just what Epstein did. It’s who protected him, and why.
9/
Epstein’s victims were failed by federal prosecutors who were told the case was above their pay grade.
They were failed by a justice system that granted broad immunity to unnamed co-conspirators.
They deserve an accounting.
This document is part of that accounting.

I’m a school nurse. We have a rule. Kids without lunch money get a cold cheese sandwich. Nothing else. It’s policy. This boy came in one Wednesday. Sixth grader. Stomach pain he said. I’ve been doing this twenty years. I know real stomach pain and I know hunger. “When did you last eat?” He looked at the floor. “Yesterday lunch.”
Sent him to the cafeteria with a note. Told them to give him a full hot meal. Pasta. Salad. Milk. The works. Cafeteria lady looked at my note. Looked at me. Gave him the tray without a word. He ate like he hadn’t seen food in days. Probably hadn’t. Came back to my office after. “Am I in trouble?” “For what?” “For eating.” “That’s what food is for.”
Started keeping granola bars, peanut butter crackers, juice boxes in my bottom drawer. For kids who come in with headaches that are really hunger. Stomachaches that are really empty. I’m not supposed to. Technically against policy. Don’t care. Told my principal once. She looked at me for a long moment…..
Opened her desk drawer. Showed me her stash. Crackers. Fruit snacks. Applesauce. “What drawer?” she said. We never spoke of it again.
That sixth grader is in high school now. Came to find me last spring. “I just wanted you to know I’m okay. And that I remembered. I always will.” He volunteers at a food bank on weekends. Has since he was thirteen.
Best granola bars I ever bought.

A federal judge just threw out everything they did and restored vaccine schedule’s for children. The regime lost.

Your doctor went to medical school for 12 years. The person denying your claim went through a two-week training module.

Absolute bombshell. The Pentagon just admitted that Trump put real estate developer Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner in charge of nuclear negotiations with Iran. When their amateur diplomacy failed, they launched a massive war. Incompetence at the highest level!

Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom
$200 BILLION IS ENOUGH TO:
– Double the annual per‑person spending on K–12 education.
– Expand the ACA tax credit for 7 years.
– Provide up to 2 million people the SNAP benefits they need.
– Provide a middle class tax break of $3,500.
Instead, we will spend it on an illegal war.
This is only the beginning. More money will be wasted. More lives will be lost.

BANKS
America’s biggest banks would be allowed to hold billions of dollars less in capital on their books under a series of new proposals, a change officials say will free up their ability to lend and compete with private-credit firms and other rivals. The proposals introduced Thursday would hand a major victory to big banks, which had resisted sharply higher requirements proposed under the Biden administration.

Opus Dei tried to pause their reforms upon Francis’ death, but Leo insisted they continue. The Vatican is not satisfied with their proposed reforms. Today’s meeting is a signal that Leo intends to act in a decisive way to finally put an end to the corruption and scandal that has plagued this “sect” for far too long.

“Scientists capture the full ‘brain-cleaning’ process during sleep”

Sleep is crucial for the brain. When a person is in deep sleep, cerebrospinal fluid flows between neurons like waves, clearing metabolic waste and “resetting the system” for thinking and learning the next day. But what happens if you don’t get enough sleep?

Scientists at Boston University in the United States have captured this “cleaning” process. Red represents blood, and blue represents cerebrospinal fluid. After falling asleep, neurons become quiet, and within a few seconds, blood flows out of the head. Then a watery fluid called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flows in, washing the brain in rhythmic pulses.

What’s remarkable is that it was previously unknown that blood periodically flows out of the brain in large amounts. Each time this happens, cerebrospinal fluid takes the opportunity to surge in.

Once inside the brain, cerebrospinal fluid clears toxins, such as beta-amyloid, which is linked to Alzheimer’s disease. This cleaning process only occurs during sleep, allowing the brain to feel refreshed upon waking. When awake, cerebrospinal fluid doesn’t get enough opportunity to do this effectively.

Researchers also found a connection between brainwave activity and the cleaning process, meaning brainwaves help drive the movement of these fluids.

So, it’s better to go to bed earlier—don’t stay up too late!

If the “cleaning” doesn’t work well, you might actually get dumber…

META SHUTTING DOWN

ZUCKERBERG Meta announces they’ll be shutting down the Metaverse, after pouring $80,000,000,000.00 into the project.
The metaverse killed itself. Like we said it would. It was always just a bad corporate version of “second life”. This is evidence that the technology genie CAN be put back in the bottle. No technology is “inevitable”. Same for AI. Meta is preparing major layoffs as AI costs explode.
– Meta is discussing cuts of up to 20% of its workforce
– The company has 79,000 employees, meaning 15,000+ jobs could be impacted

Adam Livingston @AdamBLiv
Meta should have just bought Bitcoin. Assuming Meta buys $80 billion of Bitcoin at today’s BTC price, here’s the math:
At about $71,434 per BTC, $80 billion would buy roughly 1,119,915 BTC.
That stack would be worth:
At $100,000 BTC: about $112.0 billion.
At $150,000 BTC: about $168.0 billion.
At $200,000 BTC: about $224.0 billion.
At $500,000 BTC: about $560.0 billion.
At $1,000,000 BTC: about $1.12 trillion.
Instead of a stupid game/service that nobody used, they could have purchased 5.33% of Bitcoin’s total 21 million supply.
Real-world caveat, deploying $80 billion into Bitcoin would likely push price up hard during accumulation, so the actual BTC acquired would almost certainly be less than 1.12 million BTC.
Still would have been a better use of capital.
Meta to Permanently Remove End-to-End Encryption Feature in Instagram DMs
https://cybersecuritynews.com/instagram-end-to-end-encryption/

Peter Girnus @gothburz Mar 4
I am the Vice President of Privacy for Reality Labs at Meta.

The glasses cost two hundred and ninety-nine dollars. We sold seven million pairs last year. Two million the year before that. The growth rate is three hundred and fifty percent. The tagline is “designed with your privacy in mind.” The design includes a camera. The camera records everything in front of your face. The privacy includes sending the footage to Nairobi.

I need to explain what I mean by “privacy.”

When you speak to Meta AI through your Ray-Ban glasses, you generate video. The video requires human review. We call it “annotation.” Annotation requires annotators. The annotators work for a company called Sama. Sama is in Nairobi, Kenya. The annotators are paid approximately two dollars an hour. The glasses cost two hundred and ninety-nine dollars. One pair of glasses is a hundred and fifty hours of someone watching your life. I did not design that math. I approved it.

Two Swedish newspapers — Svenska Dagbladet and Göteborgs-Posten — found our annotators and asked what they see.

“We see everything — from living rooms to naked bodies.”

“In some videos you can see someone going to the toilet, or getting undressed.”

“You understand that it is someone’s private life you are looking at, but at the same time you are just expected to carry out the work.”

And, regarding questions: “If you start asking questions, you are gone.”

We have a face anonymization system. The system is automatic. The system uses algorithms. The algorithms fail. A source said: “The algorithms sometimes miss. Especially in difficult lighting conditions.” Bedrooms are difficult lighting conditions. Bathrooms are difficult lighting conditions. The places where people are naked are, by the algorithm’s own logic, the places where the algorithm is least reliable. I am not editorializing. I am describing an engineering outcome.

The annotators signed extensive NDAs. There are cameras in their offices. Their phones are confiscated at the door. We surveil the people who surveil your living room. The chain of surveillance is thorough. The question of whether your living room should be surveilled is not in the chain.

Our terms of use — which I helped draft — reserve Meta’s right to “review your interactions with AIs, including by automated or manual (human) means.” The word “manual” means a person. The person is in Nairobi. The person is watching you undress. The person earns two dollars for the hour in which this occurs. I wrote the word “manual.” It is the most efficient sentence I have ever authored.

There is no opt-out. I need to say this clearly. No mechanism exists for a user of Ray-Ban Meta glasses to prevent their footage from being seen by a human being in Kenya. We did not build one. Kenya has no data adequacy agreement with the European Union. Dialogue on adequacy began in May 2024. It has not concluded. The footage did not wait for the dialogue.

Our privacy policy explains: “Data may be transferred globally because Meta is a company that operates globally.” The word “globally” means your apartment in Stockholm is annotated in Nairobi. It is the most honest word in the privacy policy. The rest is architecture.

Andrew Yang is right. Taxing AI companies will be a cornerstone of a post-labor economy.
But we should go further.
AI was trained on our data, our writing, our code, our images. Society created the raw material.
So society should own a piece of it.
Not just taxes. Shared ownership and AI dividends.
If AI becomes the most productive technology in history, the wealth it creates should flow back to the people who helped create it.

My comments on this article: “We live in a world where A.I. companies are grabbing every bit of writing, art and music without consent.”
This is the foundation on which we should judge generative AI. It does not belong to the corporations who stole our entire culture without consent. Our work, our writing, our art, our compositions, our poetry belong to us. Our right to own our own output must be the primary consideration. Our expressions, our imaginations, our deeply felt sense of being alive and gifting that to the world though our creativity should not be exploited by corporations.
Creativity is what makes us human. We must fight against machine exploitation and hold on to our shared humanity and our priceless human art and writing.

Insane A complete 7-week Agentic RAG bootcamp was just open-sourced.
https://x.com/thetripathi58/status/2032911740447633460
AI academies charge $10,000 for this curriculum. You can get it for free.
It covers everything from basic keyword search to building production-grade Agentic RAG systems with LangGraph. This is not a toy project tutorial. It is a full production pipeline.

Here is what is inside:

– 7 weeks of building an AI research assistant from scratch
– Complete infrastructure setup with Docker, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL
– Production keyword and hybrid search using OpenSearch
– Local LLM deployment with streaming responses
– Production monitoring with Langfuse tracing and Redis caching
– Agentic workflows using LangGraph and Telegram bots

Here is the core value:

It forces you to build the way successful companies do. You do not just jump to vector search. You build solid search foundations first, then enhance with AI. Theory and practice in one place. Thousands of developers are using this to master production AI.

Summary of the Production Agentic RAG Course:

– It gives you a senior AI engineer curriculum for free
– It bridges the gap between basic RAG and production systems
– It forces you to build an actual end-to-end portfolio project

You still have to write the code. It just removes the guesswork.
https://github.com/jamwithai/production-agentic-rag-course

Researchers just surveyed 1,500 workers and 52 AI experts and discovered that 41% of everything companies are currently automating with AI falls into what they call the “unwanted or impossible” zone.

A full, free textbook that covers everything from training models on a single GPU to deploying them at production scale.
This isn’t a blog post. This isn’t a YouTube playlist. It’s the actual course material Harvard students use. Now anyone can access it.

Here’s what’s inside:

→ 15+ chapters covering the full ML systems lifecycle
→ 50+ hands-on lab exercises
→ A framework called TinyTorch that teaches you to build ML infrastructure from scratch
→ Real hardware labs on Arduino and Raspberry Pi
→ Data processing, model training, deployment, and monitoring
→ Volume I covers single-machine ML (1 to 8 GPUs)
→ Volume II covers distributed systems and production infrastructure

Here’s the wildest part:
It comes with actual hardware kits. You don’t just read about edge computing. You deploy models on real devices. Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other edge hardware. Theory and practice in one place.
Over 100,000 students and educators have already used this material worldwide.
This is what people pay $60K/year in tuition to access.
It’s completely free.
