Satoshi Nakamoto disappeared eleven years ago today. 4/26/22

Why is Bitcoin Special? No one personality or board is in charge. This removed a critical centralized attack vector (founder leader). Few other crypto projects can claim the same. Bitcoin Core Developers can copy anything any other coin does if they wanted to.

Elon Musk paid $0 in federal taxes in 2018.

Elon Musk is a union-busting billionaire who inherited money from his dad’s apartheid-era emerald mines?

Tax the rich + unionize Twitter now!

Don’t think a far-right billionaire with a media platform can do any damage to America?
Lemme tell you a story.
Once upon a time, there was this guy named Rupert Murdoch…

Zuckerberg owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post.
Elon Musk owns Twitter.
When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

@djrothkopf
The richest guy on the 2021 Forbes 400 owns the Washington Post. Number 2 now owns Twitter. Number 3 owns Facebook. Numbers 5 and 6 started Google. Numbers 4 and 9 started Microsoft. Number 10 owns Bloomberg. Free speech? You decide.

The next time you hear a billionaire claim, “I alone can fix it,” beware. It is a dangerous mantra that plagues politics, undermines our democracy, and serves to empower strongmen who seek to escape accountability. Billionaires aren’t the answer.

$45B dollars could’ve ended the homelessness, you know?
If you can afford to buy Twitter, shouldn’t you pay taxes?
Elon Musk announces new strategy to control Twitter — reveals plan to simply buy the entire Internet. “I will rule the Universe!”, said the world’s richest man,… as he threw his head back and roared with diabolical laughter. This is exactly why Rep’s have fought tooth and nail to stop any regulations, unions and oversight for 20 years. No regulations means one person can actually buy and own America. Democracy, autocracy, could be the least of our worries. Could the USA become a one owner MONOPOLY?

Paying for a product or being the product being sold.
Elon owns all your twitter posts – everything you do belongs to him. Elon Musk is an oligarch, for all intents and purposes.

Billionaires are pathological disgusting hoarders. Greed is an addiction, just like anything else. With 40 billion dollars, Elon Musk could have given each of the 330M people living in America a million dollars and still had $7B left over. Why aren’t more people talking about this? They impoverish an entire nation. They aren’t role models they are abhorrent.
If Elon Musk really cares about freedom, he should spend his $46 billion helping Ukraine defeat Putin and Russia, rather than buying Twitter. Republicans depending on on someone from Africa is hilarious. If you can afford to buy your own social media playpen, you can afford to stop whining about having to pay taxes. Elon buying Twitter is still not nearly as bad, as Putin buying the Republican Party.

It took me awhile to find this MUSK THREAD!!! THIS IS THE REAL ELON MUSK!!!

Telling the truth, on the other hand – that’s a disqualifying offense.

Be a Patriot White supremacists are greatest terror threat

DHS draft document: White supremacists are greatest terror threat
None of the DHS drafts POLITICO reviewed referred to a threat from Antifa, the loose cohort of militant left-leaning agitators who senior Trump administration officials have described as domestic terrorists.

White supremacists present the gravest terror threat to the United States, according to a draft report from the Department of Homeland Security.

Two later draft versions of the same document — all of which were reviewed by POLITICO — describe the threat from white supremacists in slightly different language. But all three drafts describe the threat from white supremacists as the deadliest domestic terror threat facing the U.S., listed above the immediate danger from foreign terrorist groups.

“Foreign terrorist organizations will continue to call for Homeland attacks but probably will remain constrained in their ability to direct such plots over the next year,” all three documents say.

Russia “probably will be the primary covert foreign influence actor and purveyor of disinformation and misinformation in the Homeland,” the documents also say.

Former acting DHS Sec. Kevin McAleenan last year directed the department to start producing annual homeland threat assessments. POLITICO reviewed three drafts of this year’s report — titled DHS’s State of the Homeland Threat Assessment 2020 — all of which were produced in August. Ben Wittes, the editor in chief of the national security site Lawfare, obtained the documents and shared them with POLITICO. The first such assessment has not been released publicly, and a DHS spokesperson declined to comment on “allegedly leaked documents,” and on when the document will be made public.

None of the drafts POLITICO reviewed referred to a threat from Antifa, the loose cohort of militant left-leaning agitators who senior Trump administration officials have described as domestic terrorists. Two of the drafts refer to extremists trying to exploit the “social grievances” driving lawful protests.

The cut-off date for information analyzed in the earliest draft is August 3, 2020, while the cut-off date for the next two is August 27.

John Cohen, who oversaw DHS’s counterterrorism portfolio from 2011 to 2014, said the drafts’ conclusion isn’t surprising.

“This draft document seems to be consistent with earlier intelligence reports from DHS, the FBI, and other law enforcement sources: that the most significant terror-related threat facing the US today comes from violent extremists who are motivated by white supremacy and other far-right ideological causes,” he said.

Wittes, meanwhile, said the change in language on white supremacist terrorism is significant.

“It diminishes the prominence of white supremacy relative to other domestic violent extremism, and, without being inaccurate, puts it in a basket along with other violent activity that may be more palatable for the administration to acknowledge,” he said.
