    Unfortunately, there is too much scum allowed to float happily at the bottom.
    .
    Islam, of course, used to cut the hands off such multiple thieves.
    (Aren’t they lucky to live in the USA.)

    White House memo says Alibaba helping Chinese military to target US: report

    A White House memo has stated that Alibaba has been providing tech support for the “operations” of the Chinese military against targets that are in the United States, the Financial Times has reported.

    The memo also includes “top secret” intelligence on how the e-commerce company is able to provide data to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) that may also threaten US national security. The report raises concerns with the tech giant, which saw its stock drop off a cliff when the report of the memo was released.
    The claims are just some of the latest concerns over China’s ability to exploit sensitive data and information in the United States. According to the outlet, the document states that Alibaba gives the Chinese government as well as the PLA access to customer data, such as IP addresses, Wi-Fi information, payment records, as well as other AI-related services.

    The memo also states that those who work at Alibaba have knowledge about “zero-day” exploits with the PLA. The memo comes as there have been increasing tensions with China regarding trade and national security concerns. Foreign nations such as China have often used tactics in order to gain IP information in the United States by having foreign nationals become employed at different US-based companies.

    CFS comment: As I interpret the law ……Trump has the right to impose Tariffs, but has no right to allocate spending of money without House of Representatives authorization.

    United States federal officials have confirmed that an immigration crackdown – the latest by President Donald Trump’s administration – is under way in North Carolina’s largest city, Charlotte, as agents were seen making arrests in multiple locations.

    “Americans should be able to live without fear of violent criminal illegal aliens hurting them, their families, or their neighbors,” Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement on Saturday, according to The Associated Press news agency. “We are surging DHS [Department of Homeland Security] law enforcement to Charlotte to ensure Americans are safe and public safety threats are removed.”

    I am anti Islam, because I truly believe the religion NEEDS a reformation..

    Over the last decade when I have expressed anti- Islam feelings I have repeatedly been a called a RACIST.
    .
    Can anyone explain to me what “race” is Islam.
    I believe there are Islamists that are also Arab, white, black, European, Asian and American….. what a strange heterogeneous “race”.

    EPSTEIN…….. BITCON……….. GOLD……… 🙂

    Satoshi Nakamoto, the virgin birth of the crypto era, wrote nine pages that changed the world and then, like a well-mannered ghost, excused himself from the party before the canapés were even served. No interviews, no conference appearances, no victory lap, no tell-all memoir ghost-written by a grateful acolyte. Just silence, immaculate and absolute. One does not need to be a hardened paranoiac to find this just a touch convenient. Revolutionary monetary theorists tend to be tiresome bores who cannot resist the microphone; they do not, as a rule, vanish with the disciplined grace of a spook who has just planted the device and is walking calmly toward the exit.

    And the device, dear reader, was primed beautifully. Somewhere in the region of one million bitcoins (give or take the odd satoshi) are sitting in wallets that have never moved, not even to consolidate, not even to pay the most trivial fee during periods when fees were measured in pennies. These are the Patagonian wallets, the Genesis wallets, the coins mined in those innocent early months when the network difficulty was low enough that a modestly competent teenager with a gaming rig could have hoovered up small fortunes before breakfast. They belong, we are assured with the serene confidence of the faithful, to Satoshi himself. A man so devoted to the cause of decentralised, trustless money that he chose to lock away roughly seventy billion dollars (at today’s rather optimistic exchange rate) and throw the key into a furnace. One raises an eyebrow so high it practically files for planning permission.

    Either Satoshi is the single most principled human being since Diogenes, content to live in whatever passes for a digital barrel while the price of his creation climbs to infinity, or (and do let us consider the possibility with the calm detachment it deserves) those coins are not under the control of an eccentric genius at all. They may, in fact, be the most elegantly designed dead-man switch in financial history, a cryptographic Sword of Damocles operated by entities who have both the patience of glaciers and the legal immunity of nation-states. The beauty of the arrangement is that we can never know. The coins need never move for the threat to remain exquisite: move against us, and we move them, and your precious “fixed supply” narrative turns out to have the same relationship to reality as a campaign promise.

    Now let us pour a third cup (there is no point in doing this sort of thing half-heartedly) and turn to the guest list at the most exclusive little black book of the late twentieth century. Among the handful of email addresses ever definitively linked to Satoshi Nakamoto’s original correspondence appears the name of one Jeffrey Epstein. Yes, that Jeffrey Epstein. The same convivial philanthropist who ferried half the American scientific establishment, several former prime ministers, and an assortment of intelligence-adjacent luminaries to his private island for seminars on, apparently, evolutionary biology and financial innovation. The same Jeffrey Epstein whose premature departure from this vale of tears was announced with all the solemnity normally reserved for a malfunctioning photocopier.

    Epstein’s association with what one might politely call the deeper layers of the state is so obvious that it can be detected by a blind man wearing a blindfold in a dark room during a total eclipse. Yet here he is, tucked away in the earliest Bitcoin correspondence like a calling card left by a particularly smug cat burglar. Coincidence? Of course, of course. Much like the coincidence that the only major cryptocurrency to be enthusiastically embraced by every three-letter agency on the continent was the one whose creator took tea with the most connected fixer in modern American history.The maximalists will tell you, between sips of something expensive and artisanal, that the Epstein link is meaningless, that Satoshi was simply reaching out to anyone who might help refine the idea, that great minds think alike and occasionally share an address book with convicted sex traffickers. One listens to these explanations with the same polite attention one reserves for flat-earth lecturers who have wandered into the wrong seminar room.

    The truth, or at least the most amusing possibility, is rather more straightforward. Bitcoin was never the anarchist pipe bomb it pretended to be. It was the most successful pilot programme in the history of controlled opposition, a fifteen-year operation to convince an entire generation that financial rebellion consisted of handing their private keys to regulated custodians while a fortune in unmoved coins kept the faithful in line through the sheer terror of what might happen if they ever did move. The anonymous creator, the untouched wallets, the Epstein cameo; each is a matryoshka doll of red flags, and inside the very last one sits a small note that reads, in the politest possible handwriting, “Did you really think we would let you build a parallel financial system without our fingerprints on the source code?”

    The coffee is finally beginning to cool, but the thought remains scalding. Somewhere in a vault whose location is known to precisely the sort of people who do not appear on television, a million bitcoins sleep the sleep of the just. They do not need to wake. Their mere existence is enough. And the beauty of it all is that no one will ever convince the congregation they have been had. The coins are pristine, the story is perfect, and the price, as they never tire of reminding us, only goes up.

    I finish the cup, set it down with the soft finality of a judge lowering the gavel, and smile into the morning light. Somewhere out there, Satoshi is still not there. And that, when one thinks about it over the last dregs of the blackest coffee in Christendom, is the most reassuring absence of all because without faith in his inherent, altruistic human nature, then the Church of Bitcoin collapses upon itself. And that would defeat the purpose of inventing a new asset class as Fort Knox no longer had the Gold required. But of course, it’s all just mere coincidence and they would never lie and manipulate, would they?
