HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2025

Oct/3/1863 President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation:
Americans, “set apart & observe the last Thursday of November as a day of Thanksgiving & Praise to heal the wounds of the nation & restore it to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility & Union.”

THE TOP 1%

→ The top 1% increased their wealth to $52 trillion.
You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

→BlackRock CEO Larry Fink on stage at a major conference just dropped the mask:

Camus @newstart_2024
He called both gold and Bitcoin “assets of fear” – things you only buy when you’re scared of currency debasement, financial instability, or even “physical insecurities.”

Then, in the same breath, he got visibly excited about the real future: tokenizing BlackRock’s entire $5.3 trillion ETF empire (and eventually all financial assets) onto blockchain.

His exact vision:
– Every stock, bond, and fund sitting on “a singularity of a blockchain”
– You hold everything in a digital wallet
– Swap instantly from stablecoins <-> bonds <-> stocks <-> cash with virtually no fees and no middlemen
– “This is going to happen sooner, not later.”

Watch him say it himself https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1993541958631899136/vid/avc1/320×568/YeknUR_fEwxfOQn5.mp4

Critical reality check:
The same Larry Fink who dismissed Bitcoin as an “index of money laundering” a few years ago, whose firm owns massive stakes in nearly every S&P 500 company, sits at the heart of the WEF’s corporate network, and manages $11.5+ trillion, now wants to control the rails of the tokenized financial system.

Decentralization in theory, BlackRock custody in practice?

The biggest asset manager on earth becoming the plumbing owner of the next financial era isn’t exactly the “trustless” future many early crypto believers had in mind.

You tell me – revolution or the most elegant power grab ever dressed up as innovation?

→ Tether, “The Stable Company” just saw S&P cut its assessment rating from 4 to 5 – the lowest rating possible – citing persistent gaps in disclosure and high risk assets being held in its reserves.

Only in crypto would the bedrock stablecoin of crypto trading be viewed as so fundamentally risky. S&P notes

– high risk reserve assets
– persistent gaps in disclosure
– lack of robust regulatory framework
– no asset segregation
– limitations on primary redeemability

HEALTH

Medicare for All is the answer.

→ Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 – for the first time since records began in 1982. This is what happens when a country commits to HPV vaccination and screening. We protect our girls and save lives.

→ @RobertKennedyJr has unilaterally brought back both measles and whooping cough, killing at least 5 children since January. Every senator who voted to confirm this lunatic should resign.
MEANWHILE THIS ASSHOLE is TOTALLY okay with forever chemicals being sprayed on our food.

RFK Jr on WiFi “I think it degrades your mitochondria. And it opens your blood brain barrier.” Just gibberish He just makes stuff up to sound scientific But it’s absolute horseSHIT

→ Dr. Ralph Lee Abraham promoted discredited treatments like ivermectin and, as Louisiana’s surgeon general, halted the state’s vaccination campaign. He’s just been quietly promoted to second in command at the CDC.

→ Daryl Fairweather, PhD | Chief Economist @FairweatherPhD
The expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies have me worried about more than just healthcare—I’m concerned about the housing market.

Before becoming Redfin’s chief economist, my first job in economics was at the Boston Fed in 2009, at the height of the foreclosure crisis. My task was to call homeowners facing foreclosure and ask survey questions about how they ended up in that situation.

The answer I heard most often was they had an unexpected medical expense.

Without affordable insurance, a sudden illness forced families to choose between their health and their mortgage. Harvard researchers backed this up, finding that nearly half of foreclosures at the time were linked to medical issues.

If ACA subsidies expire, we risk returning to that reality. Families could face skyrocketing premiums or go uninsured entirely. When a medical emergency strikes, the out-of-pocket costs can be devastating—draining the funds needed to keep a roof over their heads.

When healthcare isn’t affordable, people have less money left over for other necessary expenses, like housing.

Let’s hope we find a way to keep healthcare affordable for Americans.

LAW

OpenAI says dead teen violated TOS when he used ChatGPT to plan suicide — OH YEAH, sure thing, doesn’t that kid know to read the terms and conditions? geeze…..
Facing five lawsuits alleging wrongful deaths, OpenAI lobbed its first defense Tuesday, denying in a court filing that ChatGPT caused a teen’s suicide and instead arguing the teen violated terms that prohibit discussing suicide or self-harm with the chatbot.

I mean really if the fucking president can’t be bothered to read the constitution then why should a kid read the TOS !@!!!

→ Blow for Trump as Supreme Court reinstates fired copyright chief

→ Nick Szabo @NickSzabo4 Nov 16
Anarcho-capitalism is a wonderfully abstract ideal that can inspire innovation. It helped inspire me to help invent cryptocurrency.
But real-world cryptocurrencies are not trustless — they are trust-minimized. Each cryptocurrency has a legal attack surface, representing the kinds of ways governments and/or private entities can practically use law to disrupt their operations. The layer 1 of a good trust-minimized cryptocurrency like Bitcoin can withstand much more interference than centralized technologies could or can, but the technology still has its limits.
The kinds of attacks that come from financial law have largely proven to be manageable, due to a combination of the trust-minimized (not trustless) technology, which requires diligent attention from developers motivated to keep it a trust-minimized form of money, and a large army of cryptocurrency industry lawyers who specialize in financial law.
The legal attack surface from arbitrary data is far larger and far less predictable. The crypto industry does not have the legal expertise to deal with it.
Thinking that Bitcoin, or any other cryptocurrency or blockchain protocol, is a magical anarcho-capitalist Swiss army knife that can withstand any kind of governmental attack in any legal area is insanity.

ECP NetHappenings HEALTH During 37 Day Shut Down

The US gov’t has been shutdown for an unprecedented 37 days so far. In Canada, if a budget can’t pass, it triggers an election. That means the politicians lose their jobs, not average workers!


IF NOT FOR Biden’s dereliction of duty and reluctance to fire the incompetent AG Merrick “apolitical” diddler Garland,  and Judge Cannon, + Moscow Mitch McConnell we wouldn’t be where we are today.
If not for Heritage Foundation, Project 20205, Democrats,  If not for scotus, If not for Musk fucking with the election. . .
If not for Speaker Johnson  who won’t swear in Adelita Grijalva to vote on the Epstein files . . .

Eric Trump, “We’re saving Christianity. We’re saving God. We’re saving the family unit. We’re saving the nation. DEI is out the window” “You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell” “We have a return to people going to church”..

HEALTH

“While some people see a ‘new Marjorie,’ on healthcare costs, the reality is that the Big Ugly Bill passed with ONE vote. Hers. This crisis is all because she didn’t do the right thing when she could!” —Jasmine Crockett

 

RFK Jr. explains why socializing with Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t such a big deal for him:

“…I ran into everybody in NY. I mean, I knew Harvey Weinstein, I knew Roger Ailes, I knew — O.J. Simpson came to my house. Bill Cosby came to my house.”

The 6 Worst Health Scandals of the Past 25 Years
From tainted baby powder to sketchy blood testing devices, medical scandals are alive and well this century.

NoelCaslerComedy @caslernoel
“When you take away someone’s ability to feed their children and provide healthcare for their family, you take away more than their safety net and basic financial self-esteem. You inflict great harm on our national security. There is a lot of truth to the old Napoleonic adage ‘an army marches on its stomach’. If you cannot meet the minimum material needs of a people, you are not in possession of great country.
How ironic that the ‘America First’ movement, which centers itself around a reactionary concept of militant nationalism, is so blatantly shooting itself in the foot and weakening the social fabric of our country. All to appease a man who was born a millionaire and has never worked an honest day, or missed a meal in his life.”

Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president’s assault on the rule of law.

Trump is going to drive millions into debt and kill thousands by gutting the ACA — to save $31B
Medicare for All would cover everyone, save 68k lives, and save families money with no copays, deductibles or drug costs — and save $650B per year

USDA orders states to stop paying full SNAP benefits and “immediately undo” steps taken to issue them for November.

“To the extent States sent full SNAP payment files for November 2025, this was unauthorized. Accordingly, States must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025.“

DATE: November 8, 2025
SUBJECT: Updated Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
November Benefit Issuance
TO: Regional Directors
SNAP Division
All Regions
SNAP State Agency Directors
All State Agencies
This memorandum is a follow up to the guidance shared on October 10, October 24,
November 4, November 5, and November 7, 2025, regarding Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for November 2025.
The U.S. Supreme Court granted the U.S. Department of Agriculture an administrative stay
of the orders issued by the District Court of Rhode Island in Rhode Island State Council of Churches, et al. v. Rollins, 25-cv-569. Pending any explicit direction to the contrary from Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), States must not transmit full benefit issuance files to EBT processors. Instead, States must continue to process and load the partial issuance files that reflect the 35 percent reduction of maximum allotments detailed in the November 5 guidance.
To the extent States sent full SNAP payment files for November 2025, this was unauthorized. Accordingly, States must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025. Please advise the appropriate FNS Regional Office representative of steps taken to correct any actions taken that do not comply with this memorandum.
Per 7 CFR 271.7(h), failure to comply with this memorandum may result in USDA taking various actions, including cancellation of the Federal share of State administrative costs and holding States liable for any overissuances that result from the noncompliance.

Gray Hair Protects Us From Cancer?
Every single silver strand of hair represents the successful elimination of DNA-damaged cells.
In A Nutshell
Gray hair in mice signals successful cancer defense: When stem cells that produce hair pigment get DNA damage, the body forces them to mature and exit, leaving gray hair behind as evidence that potentially dangerous cells were eliminated.
Carcinogens hijack the system: Cancer-causing chemicals like UV radiation override this protective response by flooding stem cells with survival signals, allowing damaged cells to persist and potentially form melanoma instead of causing gray hair.
Your hair follicle niche makes life-or-death decisions: Surrounding support cells produce a protein called KIT ligand that determines whether damaged stem cells get eliminated (causing gray hair) or allowed to survive and multiply (risking cancer).
Mouse findings show support in human tissue: While the protective mechanism was demonstrated in mice, researchers found elevated KIT ligand in several human melanoma samples, suggesting similar processes may occur in people, though more research is needed.
Those silver strands sprouting on your head might be doing more than announcing your age. Research from the University of Tokyo shows that gray hair in mice reflects a built-in cleanup program in which the body hunts down and eliminates damaged cells capable of becoming cancer. Importantly, there are supporting signs this same mechanism is present in human skin tissue samples.

They were performing Female Genital Mutilation, “it will be in that hearing when more will be presented about religion, culture, tradition versus federal law that prohibits the cutting of the genitals of young girls to keep them from being sexually active later in life.”

The Disturbing Decline of Literacy Irving Wladawsky-Berger
The essay references a recent survey that found that AI is being rapidly adopted by students for completing their coursework. This raises troublesome questions, said Chandar. If they are counting on AI to do the work for them, a generation of students may not learn the critical skills necessary think for themselves, — a serious problem in an increasingly complex world. “Even in a world with AI superintelligence, we will always have the responsibility to make tough decisions. And, making such tough decisions requires critical thinking skills,” wrote Chandar in a related essay.

To become a trained air traffic controller, it takes 5-8 years of intense training – It’s a long and difficult process.
When Musk mass-fired air traffic controllers, he left the FAA at least 2,000 employees short of being able to operate America’s air spaces safely With holidays approaching, the employees are tired and fed up with working without a paycheck and working in dangerous conditions,
Ten percent of flights in “60 big traffic” areas will be shut down – Hopefully, that will keep passengers safe until conditions are more acceptable for travel by air.

Ben Collier is Lecturer in Digital Methods in the Department of Science, Technology, and Innovation Studies at the School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh.
A biography of Tor—a cultural and technological history of power, privacy, and global politics at the internet’s core.
About Tor: Tor, one of the most important and misunderstood technologies of the digital age, is best known as the infrastructure underpinning the so-called Dark Web. But the real “dark web,” when it comes to Tor, is the hidden history brought to light in this book: where this complex and contested infrastructure came from, why it exists, and how it connects with global power in intricate and intimate ways. In Tor: From the Dark Web to the Future of Privacy, Ben Collier has written, in essence, a biography of Tor—a cultural and technological history of power, privacy, politics, and empire in the deepest reaches of the internet.

July 1935 German generals were called to a surprise assembly in Berlin and informed that their previous oath to the Weimar constitution was void and that they would be required to swear a personal oath to the Führer. Most generals took the new oath to keep their positions.

Hitler ordered all German military personnel to swear an oath of personal loyalty to him as the Führer, or leader, of the German Reich — a crucial step in cementing his control over the armed forces and removing them from their traditional loyalty to the state and constitution.

Vanguard Signals Crypto Adoption Wave
Vanguard refused customers access to the best-performing ETF in history because Bitcoin didn’t “align with their philosophy.”
Now, they’re finally bending the knee.
Everybody gets Bitcoin at the price they deserve.

Do NOT go to Britannica for your information about Bitcoin, their team is ignorant and has a tremendous amount of errors in their writing. Bitcoin is the only form of cryptocurrency that is truly decentralized due to its lack of a founder, corporation governing issuance, and peer-to-peer architecture.

James Fishback @j_fishback
In federal court, Jerome Powell’s taxpayer-funded lawyers told a judge the American people have “no legal right” to know what the Fed is doing in real time. Imagine our Founders hearing that—sitting next to my parents in court—watching unelected, unaccountable bankers make life-altering decisions in secret, then calling us the bad guys for demanding they follow the law and open the doors to the public.
We won today by exposing their secrecy scam. Now we’re weighing our next legal steps—not just for Azoria, but for every American who deserves better than these scoundrels who think we have no right to know what they’re up to.
A U.S. District Court judge on Monday rejected a legal bid by an investment
fund to force the Federal Reserve to open to the public a meeting on setting
interest rates this week.
The ruling found that the Federal Open Market Committee is not a
government agency subject to the federal “Sunshine Act” requiring open
meetings, despite claims to the contrary in a lawsuit filed by Azoria Capital.

SOCIALISM

They didn’t call the trillion-dollar Wall St. Bailouts “Socialism”
They don’t call nearly $1 Trillion in oil & gas subsidies “Socialism”
They don’t call the billions in farmer bailouts “Socialism”
But health care, wages, food for poor people? “SOCIALISM!”

FAR RIGHT EXTREMISTS

Just like South Park !!!
Trump just called the Democratic Party the “party of Satan” on Truth Social. That’s demonizing your political opponents — literally. It’s not just rhetoric. This shifts the language toward extremism.

Multi Cultural Cities are an affront to the nazi far right, they prove we can all get along inspite of our different heritages.

For those confused about the lies this administration is telling now on the coming shutdown, let me get personal. I have been self-employed for decades and I have preexisting medical conditions. My only option for healthcare is through Obamacare. Without the subsidies that will be cut, I will be directly affected, and my health care costs will sky rocket. I am not an illegal immigrant; I am an American Citizen born and raised here. When @JDVance and others say this is only about healthcare for illegal immigrants, they are lying to you. I am a well known American Citizen who truly has no idea what he will do for healthcare next year.

Thank you to the Democrats who are fighting for Americans like me, like you, and like the many family members and friends that you love. Thank you to the Democratic leadership on this that tried everything to do this the right way and tried to meet with the President only to have him cancel.

I will figure out my personal situation and I am not looking for sympathy. I am truly worried about the millions of American citizens who are going to be devastated by this change.

This administration is working overtime to make America less healthy. Why?

BREAKING: The US government has just removed sections 9 and 10 of Article I of the US Constitution from their website.
Note that sections 9 and 10 deal with: – Writ of Habeas Corpus – Congresses ability to control tariffs.

Democrats leaving Texas to protect their district.
Republicans leaving D.C. to protect the Epstein Files.

Jeffrey Epstein signed his sweetheart non-prosecution deal with U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, requiring him to register as a sex offender on 9/24/07. Mar-a-Lago’s registry listed Epstein’s membership as “Account closed 10/07” as per the authors of the Grifter’s Club.
Jeffrey Epstein still had exclusive membership at the Mar-a-Lago club while out on bail until October of 2007, but despite that, Epstein publicly laughed it off and claimed to have been invited there.
Trump says he “kicked Epstein out” over Virginia Giuffre — but Epstein was still a Mar-a-Lago member while out on bail. He laughed off the ban. This isn’t denial. It’s a cover-up. And she was 17.

Trump is not Only a pedo, he’s a trafficker
IF YOUR PRESIDENCY CAN BE DESTROYED BY RELEASING THE
EPSTEIN FILES, IT DESERVES TO BE DESTROYED BY RELEASING THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Previously unseen photos revealed a network of cameras in Epstein’s seven-story New York mansion, raising new questions about who may have been caught on tape.
The images taken inside his Manhattan home showed video cameras on the third floor in Epstein’s suite, which included his bedroom, bathrooms and the massage room where Epstein was accused of having teenage girls give him massages while he was naked. There was at least one camera mounted in a corner above his bed, according to the bphotos. A second camera could be seen in the room next door. There were no cameras visible in the photos of the massage room. Photos of Trump’s former senior adviser and conservative podcaster Steve Bannon, including a mirror selfie of him by Epstein, were kept in at least two rooms of the townhouse. There were also framed pictures of Epstein with former President Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Pope John Paul II, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk.
The #TrumpEpsteinCoverup is not working and not going away. there is just too much evidence that Trump and Epstein were in cahoots.

JOBS VS. AI

AI hallucinates, lies, schemes, can’t be trusted, wastes your time, gives advice, and can’t code correctly cause it decides on its own to do wild wrong things that breaks the code. You have to spend all the time checking the code for all the mistakes it’s making. LLM suck.

Just when your boss

1) doesn’t know how to use AI
2) thinks AI will be better at your job than you are
3) workers are let go but still have to pay off their student loan for that college degree they didn’t get to use
4) needs to send out the resume that only AI reads

vs. “AI is coming for your job. It’s already replacing writers, coders, artists, and even doctors. As it gets smarter and cheaper, no industry is safe. If your work involves repetition or patterns, AI could do it faster—and better

Alert: Vocational Training gives the poor and middle class job security!

Is this really a game changer? really?

A vocational school (alternatively known as a trade school, or technical school), is a type of educational institution, which, depending on the country, may refer to either secondary or post-secondary education[1] designed to provide vocational education or technical skills required to complete the tasks of a particular and specific job. In the case of secondary education, these schools differ from academic high schools which usually prepare students who aim to pursue tertiary education, rather than enter directly into the workforce. With regard to post-secondary education, vocational schools are traditionally distinguished from four-year colleges by their focus on job-specific training to students who are typically bound for one of the skilled trades, rather than providing academic training for students pursuing careers in a professional discipline.
