When Trump knowingly accepted Russian help and obstructed the doj investigation and lied to the American people about who attacked our elections or extorting Ukraine the republicans didn't provide a valid counter argument

they asked "who unmasked?" or leaked or whistleblew

 when Trump gave his acting officials and son-in-law and cabinet members security clearances that they didn't get cleared for Republicans look the other way

When he sided with Putin in Helsinki Republicans were in Moscow in secret meetings they voted not to release the transcript
When handed election security bills the Republicans voted against all but one of them which would strengthen funding for the machines that McConnell uses in his state
They helped Trump rail against the special counsel investigation into interference in our election

When a federal judge said Bill Barr had misrepresented that report they ignored it
When their own senate Intel report came out and said that Trump Associates were actively working to disseminate Russian misinformation into our public discourse during the election

And Ratcliffe said he wouldn't breathe the Intel committee on the interference

GOP ignored it.
They attacked any Witness of Trumps obstruction and or the obstruction of his associates and cabinet and staff during both the Russia investigation and the impeachment hearing

They attacked American heroes and our own ambassadors
They ignored when Rudy Giuliani was stalking a Russian Ambassador with men who have since been indicted for dumping millions of dollars into Republican campaign, whom they know on a first-name basis, they lied about it even though Nunes was in direct contact
Over the course of the four years that we had a president controlled by Russia and protected by Republicans and Aggro-progs refer to the attack on our election as a hoax

The same lawyers and PR people who got in trouble for showing anti magnitsky films at the Newseum the night
Of the Don Jr collusion conspiracy meeting, to which he invited Jared Kushner, worked as Tulsi's PR cleanup guys also (see Chris Cooper, Potomac Square)

Bannon tried to bring her aboard Trump's cabinet early on also
I had long hoped to see even one piece of Fallout surrounding the Russian infiltration and the mob money going into Republican campaigns from different places, just one law enforcement body question Marco Rubio making a video trying to discredit his own committee Intel report
Just one investigation into the obvious stuff that we could all see with our own eyes, everyone who watched the gates hearings and the Comey hearings and the sessions hearings where he had like 15 recusal violations, and have a feeling of relief knowing that they won't
be as Intrepid to do this again but the reality is the Republicans have been showing people like Alexander Torshin are polling stations since like 2010 and nobody has done shit to stop them

The reality is that Rosenstein and Mueller put the ball down and walked away
Accountability is going to be hard-fought and we may never see it, today they're thinking about letting some of the insurrectionists from the capitol go

Yesterday Donald Trump left office and I didn't see a single sealed indictment for any of his extortion or bribery or treason
The government accountability office and a federal judge respectively found that Mike Pompeo and William Barr had both violated the law

Pompeo for his role the Ukraine bribery and Ambassador stalking

William Barr for how he appointed an oversight committee

Where are charges?
And yes I know that there were some people held to account and there would have been some accountability for other people like Bannon had Trump not issued a bunch of Pardons and he wouldn't have had to issue pardons if there was no account
It's not good enough, 4 years we've watched as Republicans obviously defrauded the people of the United States of America in a conspiracy to conceal Donald Trump's crimes

They didn't just conceal his crimes they helped him murder us with this information about a deadly virus
Some of them participated in inciting an Insurrection and the rest of them are fine with it

Some of them asked other state election officials to throw a democratic vote and some of them put out fake drop boxes so people couldn't mail their ballots

None of them denounced his
Attempt to overthrow the free and fair election or all of his disinformation until a terrorist mob was sent to congress and on their way

By people like Giuliani who was actually stalking an American ambassador and falsifying State Department docs... who is still free
And we saw what happened at the Capitol, we saw them saying that they wanted to start a second Civil War here since 2018 and we saw things ramp up for over 2 years and especially in the weeks leading up to the insurrection

Where. were. the. helpers?
Giuliani was stalking an *American Ambassador in Ukraine*... for Russian made Oligarchs and Trump

The rally tonight was brilliant. Did you catch what was happening?

Essentially, Trump laid down a million tons of pressure on the Senators, the Gov, the SoS, the Minion, and anyone else involved in the fraud.

But, he's also given them a choice.

Let me explain.

Trump comes out and immediately starts praising the Senators and talking about the "socialists taking over the country if we don't elect them", yadda yadda yadda...

He repeats all the same talking points the GOP has been flooding the media with these last weeks.

But if you think about it, these talking points are moot. Trump is playing the game.

Do you really think the good guys would allow the fate of the country and WTP to rest on the outcome of runoff election for 2 feckless, spineless, corrupt GOP RINO Senators?

Not at all.

Remember: the goods guys caught them. They captured all the evidence they ever needed.

At any time, Trump can invoke the Insurrection Act, layout the case and clean this all out. Military planning.

But it's not time for that yet.

So what does Trump do instead?

He comes to GA for a rally, gets all his followers fired up, tells them they should all vote in the runoff, and smiles at the Senators.

He then proceeds to list out all the unsealed evidence of voter fraud in GA on camera with millions watching

President Trump has pardoned four Blackwater contractors who killed 17 Iraqi citizens including a 9 year old Ali,19 year old Ahmed and 11 year old Qasim in one of the worst acts of terrorism.

In this thread I'm sharing the heart wrenching accounts from that day in 2007.


On Sept 16 2007, at approximately 12:08 p.m. in Nisour Square Baghdad, a heavily armed Blackwater convoy consisting of four “Mamba” armored vehicles with 7.62-millimeter machine guns mounted on top made a surprise U turn as they entered the square.

[1]

While the blackwater convoy entered, a young Iraqi medical student named Ahmed Hathem al-Rubaie was driving his mother, Mahasin, in Opal sedan after dropping his father Jawad at a hospital where he worked as a pathologist. Ahmed was in the third year of medical school.

[2]

It was the month of Ramadan so they were fasting. Ahmed’s mother, was also a doctor--an allergist. They could've left Iraq but Jawad believed they were needed in the country. “I feel pain when I see doctors leaving Iraq,” he said.

[3]

Ali Khalaf Salman, an Iraqi traffic cop, was on duty in Nisour Square on that day. As Khalaf watched, the blackwater convoy came to an abrupt halt and a large white man with a mustache, positioned atop the third vehicle in the Blackwater convoy, began to fire randomly.

For fun I made a Robinhood account. It took me 5 minutes to sign up, get approved and transfer funds for trading...

Here's some details... Read on.

...it took me another 5 minutes to get qualified for options.

If I share a sign up I get "free shares" and I can share as much as I want up to 500$ worth.

The main UI has a prepopulated "list" of stocks/crypto to watch and links to news.


Clicking a stock opens a "trade" button that looks like this.

Notice options is first, buy second.

Options took me to an approval process (which took about a minute) and now away I go trading Baba options.


Buying stock looks like this. It emphasizes fractional shares.

Secrets of Ganapati (Author - Keshav Sitaram Thackeray)

This article is taken from Keshav Sitaram Thackeray's book 'Dharmachi Devale and Devalcha Dharma'. In it, Bal Thackeray's father is claiming how the Hindu deity of Ganesha is imaginary.
(1/20)

Buddha is Ashtavinayak and "Ganapati Bappa Morya" is "Chandragupta Morya".

In the era of democracy, the head of state is the President. But in ancient India, there was a Gana culture in the monarchy and the head of that Gana was called Ganapati
(2/20)

In ancient India, a prince named Siddharth Gautam was born in royalty. He later became the king of Shakya Gana in this Gana culture. In time, Siddhartha attained enlightenment.

Let us now understand the difference between a real Ganapati and an imaginary Ganapati.
(3/20)

Some clever Brahmin manuvadis made the real Ganapati the imaginary Ganapati.

Buddha was the king of the Shakya Gana, so people called him Ganaraja. He founded Buddhism and became the head of the Shakyas. As the head of Gana, people used to call Buddha as Ganapati.
(4/20)

But the Brahmins Brahmanized Ganapati and created a false Ganapati. When Buddha used to give the message of Dharma to the people, two words would come out of his message. Chitta and Malla.

Chitta is the body.
Malla means waste

1/ Here are my notes from @robertwrighter's book - Nonzero: the logic of human destiny. I enjoyed the book very much.

The basic premise of the book is that history has a direction which favors co-operation and non-zero sum games, and that causes an increase in complexity.


2/ Starting from the first replicating molecule which co-operated with an outer layer to form first proto-cell, evolutionary and cultural history is full of examples where two entities come together to survive and progress a lot more than they would have done individually.

3/ This co-operative entity fares much better than two individual entities because of specialization. If two entities are in the same boat - that they win together or lose together - then trust is implicit.

4/ In a non-zero sum game, trust causes entities to focus on what they do best.

For example, eukaryotic cells - the ones animals and plants have - emerged when two proto-cells merged, and one took the role of energy generator (mitochondria), the other specialized in protection.

5/ Some scientists believe that even nucleus in a cell is a result of an early cell merging with another cell.

So M&A is not a recent phenomena, entities have been merging because of common interests ever since life started.

Singing the Blues:
Taking Down an Insider Threat

"I had all of the advantages. I was already inside the network. No one suspected me. But they found my hack, kicked me off the network...

...and physically hunted me down."


Many pentests start from the outside, wanting to see how the perimeter might be breached.

This pentest started from the inside. My client wanted to assume they had already been breached, and, if breached, how far could an attacker go.

Could they stop me once I was inside?

So they snuck me in. Disguised me as a new employee. Gave me a work computer, an ID badge, an account in their system... hell, I even had a cubicle w/my assumed name on it.

The only person who knew who I really was was their CISO. Everyone else thought I was Jeremy in Marketing.

During most of the first morning, I completed onboarding, made introductions, and completed menial tasks.

But I had to act quick. I only had a week onsite. I had to hack their network while not raising suspicion.

So I set about it.

You have to understand... most "Internal Pentests" are straight forward. The hard part is breaching the network, but once you're inside, it's a target rich environment. End of Life computers, default passwords, everyone a Local Administrator...
