FDIC Announces Collaboration with Operation HOPE, Inc. to Expand Financial Education and Minority/Women-Owned Business Opportunities
by Gunnar Larson 24 Jan '22

24 Jan '22

------ WASHINGTON – The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) today announced a collaboration with Operation HOPE, Inc., to promote financial education using the FDIC’s Money Smart curriculum and other resources and to help educate minority- and/or women-owned businesses on how to do business with the agency. The arrangement expands upon a longstanding relationship between the FDIC and Operation HOPE to promote economic inclusion and increase consumer access to affordable credit. In 2001, recognizing the importance of financial education, particularly for persons with little or no banking experience, the FDIC created Money Smart <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVy…>, a financial education curriculum adopted by an alliance of more than 1,400 financial institutions and community-based partners across the United States. Operation HOPE is a non-profit organization with a mission to promote financial empowerment and economic inclusion. As outlined in its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategic Plan <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVy…>, the FDIC regularly cooperates with community groups across the nation, like Operation HOPE, to support financial inclusion. “We are excited about FDIC’s collaboration with Operation HOPE as we share a common purpose to help every person belong to our nation’s financial system,” said FDIC Chairman Jelena McWilliams. “Working together, it is our goal to make certain our nation’s economy works for everyone.” “FDIC’s bold commitment to financial education and empowerment closely aligns with our work at Operation HOPE,” said John Hope Bryant, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Operation HOPE. “Through initiatives like Money Smart, we are honored to help increase the ability for more Americans to take control of their finances and build a brighter future.” The collaboration announced today outlines a number of activities that the FDIC and Operation HOPE will engage in to promote financial education using the Money Smart curriculum and to share technical assistance and other resources to educate minority- and/or women-owned businesses on how to effectively compete for opportunities related to FDIC contracts, asset purchases, and investments.

They have money because they have political power, which in turn means the cops and soldiers follow their orders. Also, the technonazi capitalists (jim bell) are a mirror image of commies.

ASSANGE Affair
by professor rat 24 Jan '22

24 Jan '22

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has access to some of the best lawyers around - yet strangely none of them have advised him publicly to sue for libel even after their client complained about being slandered. This, despite the UK being a friendly place for libel litigation. Very strange. Or maybe there's no need to ever worry about calling Julian a rapist so long as truth is a defense. Julian Assange arrested in London on rape charges https://www.csmonitor.com/World/terrorism-security/2010/1207/WikiLeaks-Juli… GEOFFREY "sexual offence for a man to deliberately deceive a partner whose consent has been conditional upon his use of a condom" ROBERTSON JULIAN " Being guilty of aggravated rape has nothing to do with our party" A.

Turkish-American Emin Gün Sirer an honorary c-punk!

While Satoshi Nakamoto is credited with designing the first cryptocurrency, it was actually Turkish-American Emin Gün Sirer — CEO of Ava Labs, professor at Cornell University and co-director of the Initiative for Cryptocurrencies and Smart Contracts — who designed the first in 2003, six years before the launch of Bitcoin. Named “Karma,” it was based on a proof-of-work protocol. https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-and-nfts-meet-regulation-as-turkey-ta…

Anarchism in Turkey
by professor rat 24 Jan '22

24 Jan '22

The anarchist movement in Turkey might learn from these experiences https://anarchistnews.org/content/our-statement-concerning-recent-disclosur… " . . . I use the word ‘associationist’ as an alternative to the word ‘communist,’ not because I like pointless new jargon, but because I forsee the possibility that the communist anarchists will gradually abandon the term ‘communist’; it is growing in ambivalence and falling into disrepute as a result of Russian ‘communist’ despotism. If the term is eventually abandoned this will be a repetition of what happened with the word ‘socialist.’ We who, in Italy at least, were the first champions of socialism and maintained and still maintain that we are the true socialists in the broad and human sense of the word, ended by abandoning the term to avoid confusion with the many and various authoritarian and bourgeois deviations of socialism. Thus too we may have to abandon the term ‘communist’ for fear that our ideal of free human solidarity will be confused with the avaricious despotism which has for some while triumphed in Russia and which one party, inspired by the Russian example, seeks to impose worldwide. Then perhaps we would need another adjective to distinguish us from the rest — and this could well be associationist or societist or such like, although it seems to me that simply to use the term ‘anarchist’ would suffice. . . ."
