Facebook and Twitter are perfect examples of socialism:

• You get it for free,

...

if something is free the chances are high that YOU are the product.

The new legislation quietly passed by Congress last month after a decade-long fight is the most sweeping banking reform of its kind since passage of the Patriot Act, in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

For the first time, shell companies will be required to provide the names of their owners or face stiff penalties and jail sentences. The information will be stored in a confidential database accessible to federal law enforcement and shared with banks who are often unwitting accomplices to international corruption.

The Corporate Transparency Act was tucked into a defense spending bill first vetoed by President Donald Trump and then overridden by Congress on New Year’s Day.

The new law seeks to strengthen controls by creating a registry managed by the Treasury Department that will contain the names of the true owners of both domestically-created shell companies as well as foreign ones conducting business in the U.S.

Creating a shell company in states like Delaware requires little more than a payment of a $90 fee and a one-page letter listing the entity’s the name, P.O. Box and a registered agent who is frequently a law firm dedicated to churning out companies in bulk. The true owners are rarely listed, their identities hidden under a web of subsidiaries. But once created, the entities can be used to purchase legitimate assets, such as real estate, using ill-gotten funds furtively transferred into a U.S. bank account.

The Justice Department will also have expanded powers to demand foreign bank account records when they suspect criminal activity.

And the law also extends oversight to the trade in high-value antiquities. Expensive artwork -- a frequent vehicle to hide the proceeds of corruption -- may also be brought within the reach of anti-money laundering laws pending a study the government must produce within a year.

- China locks down Langfang city with 4.9 million residents.

- Malaysia declares state of emergency.

- German lockdown could last another ten weeks.

- More mass vaccination centres opens.

- Emergency mortuaries have been set up in England as hospital mortuaries reaching full capacity from Covid deaths.

Stay save.

Currently situation is really worst then before now I am also worried because already living in stress and without job now its creating more problems for big communities mean more deaths with Covid and financial problems coming in next few days in rural areas.

plant a garden?  + become self sufficient...what a concept!

Currently situation is really worst then before now I am also worried because already living in stress and without job now its creating more problems for big communities mean more deaths with Covid and financial problems coming in next few days in rural areas.

And the half-assed Covid vaccine is probably not going to provide any relief... As I understand it, it is very hard to ship(due to its low temperature requirements), we only have low quantities and its effective for about only a year. Covid is not going anywhere. I just hope the poor fuckers who survived it with permanent lung damage won't get it again.

Maybe it will end up taking a covid shot annualy.

All these long lockdowns leads to physical effects, one day when life returns to normal it's quite possible a decade of flower power emerges.

People will party and they will party hard.

except for the right wing nutters. they will suspect the party is a conspiracy.

Such good news

Arstechnica article providing more detail on the Parler hack.

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/01/parlers-amateur-coding-could-come-back-to-haunt-capitol-hill-rioters/

From the article:

"Parler’s site was a mess. Its public API used no authentication. When users deleted their posts, the site failed to remove the content and instead only added a delete flag to it. Oh, and each post carried a numerical ID that was incremented from the ID of the most recently published one."

"Another amateur mistake was Parler’s failure to scrub geolocations from images and videos posted online. Sites like Twitter and Google routinely remove such metadata from content posted by their users. The video files hosted on Parler, by contrast, were “raw,” meaning they still contained this information."

What is this? A social network for ants?

Not for ants, for antifas... didn't you know, all those Parler conspirators plotting insurrection at the Capitol were actually antifas trying to make real patriots just look bad?
And those people rampaging through the Capitol -- antifas.
This is what you get when a god-fearing country of white patriots is taken over by commie pinko socialist radical lefties and BLM'ers.  And rootless cosmopolitans.

Here is a good video from someone who was there.

I respect Bret Weinstein and Jeremy Lee Quinn for what they are trying to do. Which is bring everyone together and stop the hysteria. If you are left or right this video will not fuel your side. It really dives deep into what the country is facing. Also some surprising information about what happened during the day. The Media is trying to manipulate everyone.

Good video but a little to long.

Here is a timestamp to what I think and have always thought to be the real underlying issue with this country and the world as a whole.

When you start pointing this out and people are listening you will find yourself under attack by those that are really in control.

More to the point, I think when their identity providers (Okta and Twillio) pulled support the site failed to "open API" access. Better than shutting down I guess.

Not.

Oh well, as always, never write anything on the Internet that you wouldn't want read aloud in your town square. That goes for this site too....

[BobLawblaw]

Keeping the $250 @ $33k, added another $250 order @ $33.5k again to double-tap that ass, and just placed an order for another $250 @ $34k.
EDIT: Added another $250 order @ $34.5k

Double-tapped the bottom @ $34.5k & filled @ $34k.

$33.5k & $33k orders still in play @ $250 each.

possibilities:
1. Bob is Searing 2, missing the "exchanged" part of the stash.
2. Bob suddenly likes to trade
3. both

I am leaning toward #2 

[BobLawblaw]

2. Bob suddenly likes to trade stack sats he's not likely to ever spend, while in his current shell.

FTFY. Saving for upgrades.

yup. and not always because of hacks either.

back in the bfl days theymos informed me (and others) thats any pms about blf were being subpoenad and he was forced to turn them over to some agency or another. he listed the ones he had to send.

not that that was never in question; theymos stated long ago that he would have to obey court orders.

anyway, some of that terminology may be off, sorry.
