I've been at a loss for words for how disingenuous the Government's arguments against Roman Storm have been for a long while now, but this one really takes the cake. In pretrial proceedings, the court clearly ruled that the terms AML and KYC had no place in the trial against Storm, as the Government is no longer alleging that the developer violated federal licensing requirements – and therefore had no obligation to implement KYC/AML. Over the weekend, the Government has now filed a letter to clarify that one of its expert witnesses – Philip Werlau of an AML compliance service – will not be using the words KYC; but that he *will* testify that Storm could have implemented "a 'registry of authorized users' that would allow the service to confirm the identity of people making deposits and withdrawals." Which is literally, word for word, the definition of KYC, as described by the Financial Action Task Force, the IMF, as well as FinCEN itself. twitter.com/L0laL33tz/status/1...

Ukraine should be targeting everything in Alabuga, not just the drone factory halls. No Russian taxpayer is a civilian. Hitting “civilian” targets in Alabuga with drones would help slow down or stop drone production. And they're probably less well defended than the halls. twitter.com/peterktodd/status/...

For various (admittedly mostly bad) reasons, when Israel is the target, it is largely denied that Islamist war tactics include fighters masquerading as journalists. Perhaps seeing it so plainly against the Druze will make it easier for some to accept reality.

As part of “law enforcement,” Jolani’s Islamists desecrate a Druze house of worship. Notice how the Islamists are dressed in PRESS vests. In Gaza, Islamist Qatar’s Al-Jazeera Press people also doubled as Hamas fighters.

Hell, NATO nations refuse to even shoot down Russian drones in NATO countries. Which had gotten NATO citizens killed, and will get more killed in the future. All they had to do make it clear to Russia that it's unacceptable to use airspace near NATO. But they're too cowardly. twitter.com/peterktodd/status/...

If Zelenskyy was as authoritarian as some say, I'm pretty sure Christopher Miller wouldn't be writing this from Kyiv.

Christopher Miller

Armed raids & appointments of loyalists in Ukraine have sparked claims Zelenskyy is drifting into authoritarianism, using martial law powers to silence perceived enemies & tighten control. Critics include his own party, Ukrainian media, western officials. https://ft.com/content/22f4d5a9-cb23-45c3-b585-02b418a22619…

🚨🚨🚨In 2007 Congress passed a law that banned all bulbs under 45 lumens/watt (an incandescent bulb is 15 lumens/watt). The Department of Energy in 2022 made the final rule to go into effect in 2023 (which it did). In 2024 a new rule passed which will go into effect in 2028 that will make LEDs even worse by raising the ratio to 125 lumens/watt meaning that LEDs will be even more narrow spectrum than before. We already know that these bulbs hurt our vision and this is a law from Congress and CANNOT be reversed by an executive order. A way of preventing this is to sign a petition that will create a new category of bulbs that we can use not subject to this new rule. Here is the new rule: govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-202...… Here is the petition to create a new category: circadianlight.org/campaign Here is a MedCram video on this: youtu.be/0m1Qekrfs7w?si=mCUXkN...… Here is the evidence that LEDs are harmful for vision: researchgate.net/publication/3...… If you care about this - repost this please. Light bulb companies are already gearing up for this insanity.

Insane that @PeterMcCormack has to fund private security for Bedford, UK, while I'm sitting at an outdoor cafe in Kyiv. Modulo Russian attacks, there's practically zero crime here. The streets are clean and full of decent people. Ukraine has been securing its borders. The UK…
