Want to know why you have American Patriarch Oligarchs bossing people around?
745 billionaires now hold more wealth than HALF of American households. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.
How to remake society:
Get Central Banks to hold interest rates artificially low until everyone feels like an idiot for not taking out debt “it’s free money!”
Then raise interest rates and withdraw liquidity to trap every debt holder and force them to agree to your terms.

How Google’s former CEO Eric Schmidt helped write A.I. laws in Washington without publicly disclosing investments in A.I. startups
In short, the commission, which Schmidt soon took charge of as chairman, was tasked with coming up with recommendations for almost every aspect of a vital and emerging industry. The panel did far more under his leadership. It wrote proposed legislation that later became law and steered billions of dollars of taxpayer funds to industry he helped build — and that he was actively investing in while running the group.
If you’re going to be leading a commission that is steering the direction of government AI and making recommendations for how we should promote this sector and scientific exploration in this area, you really shouldn’t also be dipping your hand in the pot and helping yourself to AI investments.

Carl Sagan warning about Donald Trump in 1994
A staggeringly prescient warning from Carl Sagan… He spoke these words in 1994, yet he might as well be talking to us today. Though he has been dead for over two decades, his profound and beautiful insights continue to educate and elevate our thinking and our behavior. He was a shining star, a guiding light… And this message is but one beam from it.

January 6 committee votes to subpoena former president Donald Trump
Bennie G. Thompson We have left no doubt, none, that Donald Trump led an effort to upend American democracy that directly resulted in the violence of January 6th. Trump is not above the law!
Liz Cheney: “Without accountability, it becomes normal, and it will recur.”
Nancy Pelosi @TeamPelosi

Our Democracy is on the ballot. Our economic security is on the ballot.
We know what extreme Republicans are doing across America to undermine our elections. With YOU, our Volunteers in Politics, we will win. 25 days left — make every day count! -NP
David Hogg
Am I the only person who has found the professionalism and integrity of January 6th committee insanely refreshing? It is so nice to see politicians practicing any level of professionalism and bipartisanship.
Now we know that Garland knew Donald had ordered people to move boxes, AND that he had it on video.
*** That an American president has gotten away w/all his endless lies & crimes is a breathtaking, devastating failure of an incomprehensible justice system. It imprisons countless humans for minute alleged “crimes,” but protects a criminal monster for years on end, perhaps forever.
What he is counting on — what trump has always done — is kick the can of justice and accountability down the road indefinitely in order to normalize his rampant lawlessness and corruption—in order to conflate black-market strong-arm autocracy with legitimate business and society.

Per sworn testimony from Cassidy Hutchison: Trump was “raging.” He said: “I don’t want people to know that we lost. This is embarrassing The only person trying to rig & steal the election was Trump.
It was Republican staffers from Trump’s team telling us that Trump knew he lost.

“Washington State GOP Pays a White Nationalist, Pro-Nazi Blogger“
During his time in the White House, no target provoked as much anger from Donald Trump as the American press.
In 2017, he declared, “The press, honestly, is out of control.”
In 2019, he called it “truly the enemy of the people.”
His reelection campaign sued the Washington Post and the New York Times.

Secretary of the Army Christine E. Wormuth @SecArmy
There has been confusion on an issue where there should be none. So let me be clear: I expect @USArmy leaders to stand up for women—and all Soldiers—who are unduly attacked or disrespected. Our @USArmy Soldiers don’t hesitate to defend each other in combat & they shouldn’t hesitate to defend each other from threats or abuse, whether IRL or online. Army leaders, use good judgment online. Keep it professional.
Wake me up when you recall Gen Flynn and court marshall him for his open advocacy for overthrowing our government and you hold his brother Chuck accountable for blocking troops when the Capital was under attack. Why is Gen. Flynn still getting an army pension when he tried to overthrow the government? Why did his brother get promoted after helping with the insurrection? Why did you reprimand a general who was defending women in the armed forces? Tax payers want answers!
More dangerous than Trump himself are, the FlynnStones, Mike and Roger. They are instigators, experts on manipulating the cult and belong behind bars.

Biden, Garland and the Democratic “Leadership”
Have NEVER shown the guts to fight for Democracy. Hearings are one thing. Firings and indictments are another. The fascist right-wing cult is corrupt to the core.
Why Didn’t the FBI Review Social Media Posts Announcing Plans for the Capitol Riot? Neither Brookings nor Lawfare are, as institutions, sufficiently skeptical of either the motivations or the competence of federal law enforcement, including the FBI and SS.
Apart from the need to indict those who plotted this outrage, there is the question where was FBI Director Chris Wray? He bears some responsibility for letting armed rioters get anywhere near the Capitol, given all the intelligence that was available in advance of the violence ~ Laurence Tribe
What on earth were the Secret Service (and the FBI!) doing with this information? Throwing it in the trash? Cops are MAGA, including the FBI. A week after 1/6, a person familiar with FBI operations informed a top bureau manager that “there is a sizeable percentage of the employee population that felt sympathetic to the group that stormed the Capitol.”
One thing we learned today the missing Secret Service text truly mattered. They knew 01/06 was coming.
Surprise! Secrecy covers incompetence, corruption, overreach but does not provide protection.

#1 The breach of Capitol grounds at 12:53pm
On Nov 9, 2020 AFTER Trump lost he fired Esper and installed Chris Miller ‘Acting Sec of Defense’ and Kash Patel. In DC the only people who can deploy the National Guard are POTUS and Sec of Defense. These are the 14 times Miller denied the National Guard
@SpeakerPelosi now knows Chris Miller and Rosen lied to her, the National Guard and thousands of law enforcement were NOT on the way. They lied and people died. They were installed AFTER trump lost. THINK ABOUT THAT
And . . . the Supreme Court REJECTS Trump’s plea to intervene in special master case. Justice is trending.
Jim Helminski @jhelminski
As a former Deputy Assistant Director for the Secret Service. I have spoken out about the dangers to our democracy imposed by agents who have conspired w/Trump. Since then, the Secret Service has revoked my affiliation with the agency.
From Adam Schiff: The Secret Service and Department of Defense knew about plans from Insurgent groups to “arm themselves and to engage in political violence at the event” and to “occupy federal buildings” as early as December of 2020. Nearly a month before the deadly attack.
Poo Poo Punchin’ Pelosi
“If he comes I’m gonna punch him out and I’m going to jail and I’m going to be happy” Nancy Pelosi.
The only reason the riot was as successful as it was, is because, in DC only 2 people can deploy the national guard since their inception in 1882. POTUS and the secretary of defense. Nancy Pelosi was unable to deploy the National Guard as much as she wanted to.
IMPORTANT: the only reason the riot was as successful as it was, is because, in DC only 2 people can deploy the national guard since their inception in 1882. POTUS and the secretary of defense. Nancy Pelosi was unable to deploy the National Guard as much as she wanted to.
Steve Scalise wants to know why Nancy didn’t call the National Guard. He was standing there on film when she did.He’s one of the biggest shills of the gun lobby, though he almost died from gun violence.

@EHunterChristie
The “Krushchev’s mistake” wording was a clear ‘tell’ that Musk was using material produced by someone linked to the Russian state. A 2nd was water supply to Crimea (why that detail?) A 3rd tell was his use of the Kosovo analogy. Typical Kremlin talk – atypical for anyone else.
He used the following sentence: „- Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake).“ NOBODY except a Russian official use this language and comparison because both events are Cherry picked and not following wach other (Crimea was 1917)
A senior U.S. official expressed exasperation to me about the Starlink situation in Ukraine involving @elonmusk.
Musk “dangles hope over the heads of millions, then sticks the DoD with the bill for a system no one asked for but now so many depend on.” This comes a week after Musk called on Ukraine to cede its territories to Russia — which Musk tweeted after he spoke with Vladimir Putin.
So @elonmusk is whining about losing a lot of money on Starlinks for Ukraine.
Meanwhile, may I present to you snippets of my bank statements.
Thousands of Ukrainians, paying his company monthly.
So the question is: did you really lose more money than you earned?

OnlyFans lawyers accidentally reveal which Meta execs allegedly took bribes
Names of Nick Clegg and Nicola Mendelsohn mistakenly not redacted. OnlyFans’ owner Fenix International Limited accidentally filed a court document that mistakenly failed to redact the names of Meta employees allegedly connected to the global conspiracy. Because of the misstep, it has been revealed that adult entertainers have specifically accused three Meta employees of taking bribes. The employees are Nick Clegg (Meta’s vice president of global policy), Nicola Mendelsohn (vice president of the global business team), and Cristian Perrella (whom Yahoo Finance reported is Meta’s European safety director).

CONFESSIONS
Bored Ape Yacht Club ruined my life. Bought the top at $450,000 with everything I owned and my life savings and still holding to this day. I’d be lucky to clear 6 figs.
Started learning how to use adobe software to try to make an NFT project in June 2021. Ended up making an onlyfans of someone who doesn’t exist using deepfakes. In my best month, I made $14,000.
Spent close to half my father’s crypto on NFTs with nearly all those projects going to zero. Had one lucky break this past month and recouped over 30ETH to get his stack back. Haven’t felt more relieved and stupid in my life.
My net worth was 7 figures I was very unhappy, it’s now 5 figures and I’m even unhappier. Fuck crypto.
At the end of 2017, I put 3k into crypto and turned it into 40k by March 2018. I lost 90% of it from holding ZCL to BTCP fork because McAfee said it would go to some crazy price per coin.
I work on the due-diligence team for speaker approvals for a conference and the number of speakers trying to apply despite only having 2 months of experience in the industry blows my mind.
I cashed out seven figures in crypto this year. Connected with a homeless guy who doesn’t deserve to be. I’ve given him at least $25k in cash, hotel rooms, etc. I’m not gonna stop until he’s back on his feet. Feels damn good.

Antisemite Kanye
Bipolar disorder doesn’t restructure your fundamental values this ugly untalented “entertainer” is a bigot. What I do you give a f*ck about is that the media is still incapable of covering racism or antisemitism without making it seem like it’s something somebody made up.
Trump called Elaine Chao “Coco Chow.” Senator Tuberville said reparations are for “people who do crime.” Kanye West threatened Jews with “dead con 3.” This is NOT normal. We can’t become numb to this. We must call out all of their hateful, racist remarks. Kanye was always a total asshole who was universally despised.
@robreiner
Kanye West is a mentally ill anti-semite. Tommy Tuberville is a racist. Herschel Walker is a moronic liar. Donald Trump is a Fascist Criminal. Welcome to today’s Republican Party.
Please stop using mental illness to explain away Kanye West’s anti-Semitic rants. Millions of people are dealing with mental health issues, and they don’t go on anti-Semitic rants.

There is absolutely no room in this country or world for antisemitism. It is important to see how harmful + dangerous Kanye’s words are – not only to our Jewish brothers, sisters, & siblings, but also to our collective society at large. We must reject this wherever we see it.
DEMOCRACY
Won’t indict a sitting president. Won’t indict in an election year. Won’t indict during a major campaign. When exactly does the DOJ indict? This is what being above the law looks like. If nothing happens to this man. Laws are useless.
93% of Democrats want to see Trump INDICTED, PROSECUTED, AND THROWN IN JAIL, for the rest of his miserable Godforsaken life!
THIS IS BIG:
Admission of guilt on live TV, what more evidence does DOJ, need?
Trump’s remarks yesterday at his rally were a direct admission of guilt, also known a “summation exhibit,” according to former FBI general counsel Andrew Weissmann. Now we have Trump admitting to KNOWINGLY keeping the documents in storage. INDICT him already! TRaitor TRump said that he wanted those boxes of Classified Documents to start his “Presidential Library”.
We keep letting the crazy people win, because we are wary of confronting them. Stop. Time to toughen up. If we lose our American democracy, we will also lose our national security. Russia must be removed from the UN Security Council.
Michael Moore, who correctly predicted Trump would win in 2016 says for the midterms, DEMOCRATS will turnout a “tsunami of voters — and nonviolently, legally, and without mercy remove every last stinking traitor to our Democracy.” I hope he’s right!
