charges are falsifying business records to hide #HushMoney payments in lead up to 2016 election to #influence electorate
just one Trump supporter at the courthouse draped in a Trump flag.
#StormyDaniels's lawyer, #KeithDavidson, to return to stand. He negotiated the hush-money payment at the center of the case, & is expected to lay out details of the deal.
Gawker was sued out of existence by Hogan, in a lawsuit financed by the billionaire #PeterThiel.
#Bove insinuated that an article #NationalEnquirer editor #DylanHoward co-wrote about the Hulk Hogan sex tapes in 2015 was a product of Davidson’s providing that info.
Davidson denied that he gave Howard the tapes.
Bove then revealed that the #FBI had set up a sting related to Davidson’s discussion w/Hogan’s reps.
“In 1998, Thiel teamed up with Max Levchin, a brilliant computer scientist, and together they founded the company that became PayPal, with the declared purpose of creating a libertarian alternative to government currency. That grand ambition went unfulfilled, but PayPal turned out to be a terrific way to pay for online purchases, which were growing exponentially”
US billionaires are trying to establish a libertarian city-state in Honduras to evade democratic constraints. As progressive president Xiomara Castro resists their efforts, the Peter Thiel–backed firm Próspera is suing the country for constraining its profits.
How is that some 100 million Americans refuse to believe what their own eyes saw happening on t.v. on January 6, Nina Burleigh asks?
Her answer: look to people like Peter Thiel and "the well-oiled and oligarch-financed right wing messaging apparatus" his money and that of other super-rich men trying to tear down democracy have set into place to spread disinformation.
In this week’s Disconnect Roundup, I briefly talk about how Peter Thiel thinks we need a new frontier to bring down housing prices. Plus, recommended reads, labor updates, and other news you might have missed!
Watching #KingOfClones, a #Netflix#documentary (caveat viewer) and less than 11 minutes in, the subject, Dr. #Hwang#Woo-suk says the line that marks the current boundary I know people like #PeterThiel, and governments like the #US and #China, are actively (and very secretively) trying to break: "We cannot simply make #DNA out of a vacuum."
When we can soon do so, be afraid; be very afraid.
It's this kind of technology that will fundamentally alter humanity forever, not #LLM's and #AI alone.
Da es kein aus dem Ausland eingekauftes Filmchen ist, hätte ich erwartet, dass ein Bezug zur EU oder D hergestellt wird. Wer weiß schon, dass Palantir dank Hessen-Innenminister Peter Beuth durch #HessenData Zugriff auf interne Polizeidatenbanken hat? https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palantir_Technologies#Hessen-Data
He called himself Richard Hoste while writing filthy racist articles for white supremacist publications. His real name when he's not hiding behind a pseudonym is Richard Hanania, and Silicon Valley tech bro millionaires have funneled millions to him. He's joined at the hip with Peter Thiel, and HuffPo has unmasked him.
Die Firma #palantir von Alexander Karp und des #fascho Kumpels #peterthiel der die extreme Rechte in den USA unterstützt, und sein Überwachungs-/Auswertungssprogramm, das fast überall auf der Welt von mehreren Staaten gekauft und eingesetzt wird.
Feynman once said the most important thing to know is "everything is made of atoms".
Right now maybe the most important thing to know is "many incredibly wealthy people, particularly in Silicon Valley, are in an insane science fiction cult".
Just what we need, a bunch of #Billionaires mucking with our elections. I'm done with these guys. Can’t we at least tax them?
“Several of Silicon Valley's noisiest tech moguls have begun to support the candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the vocal anti-vax activist who's challenging President Biden for the Democratic Party nomination.”
"The truth is, #capitalists hate #capitalism. Inevitably, the kind of person who presides over a giant corporation and wields power over millions of lives - workers, suppliers and customers - believes themselves to be uniquely and supremely qualified to be a wise dictator.
For this kind of person, #competition is "wasteful" and distracts them from the important business of making everyone's life better by handing down unilateral - but wise and clever - edits. Think of #PeterThiel's maxim, "competition is for losers."
That's why giant companies love to merge with each other, and buy out nascent competitors. By rolling up the power to decide how you and I and everyone else live our lives, these executives ensure that they can help us little people live the best lives possible....."
