Russia Tried to Hold Ukraine’s Internet Hostage, Then SpaceX Stepped In

https://news.yahoo.com/russia-tried-hold-ukraine-internet-165000633.html And now the Pentagon is green with envy. -------- - SpaceX’s successful intervention in Ukrainian satellite signal-jamming is a model for the Pentagon, officials say. - Russian electronic jamming affected Starlink satellite internet receivers sent to Ukraine. - SpaceX quickly issued a fix for the jam, something the Pentagon says current rules won’t allow the public sector to do. The U.S. Department of Defense is casting envious eyes on Elon Musk’s SpaceX after the aerospace company swiftly responded to an “electronic warfare attack” in Ukraine last month. SpaceX donated Starlink terminals to Ukraine to help the country stay connected in wartime, but Russian signal-jamming attempted to thwart those plans. The notoriously bureaucratic Pentagon says it’s a model for responding to threats that it can’t currently match—but desperately needs to. Back in February, Ukraine’s government appealed to SpaceX for a shipment of Starlink satellite internet terminals. The terminals supplemented Ukraine’s prewar internet infrastructure, which has seen reduced service due to damage from the war and Russian hacking. Starlink quickly shipped 5,000 terminals to Ukraine, with 3,667 donated by SpaceX and the remaining 1,333 purchased by the U.S. Agency for International Development. The first shipment of terminals arrived just two days after the appeal.

All of this has relevance for the U.S., which has talked about looking into its own CBDC (or “Fedcoin,” as critics have labeled it). Mark Zuckerberg, testifying in front of Congress in 2019, even used China’s rapid development of a CBDC as an argument for why the U.S. should not interfere with Libra. https://decrypt.co/98315/the-beijing-olympics-was-the-coming-out-party-for-…

About one-third of eligible French voters went for Le Pen. That’s not news. In every democracy, one-third of eligible voters are always willing to vote for the worst of far right monsters. It’s always been that way. I retail politics on the basis roughly a third oppose me - roughly a third support me and the rest require constant reassurance ( hence the boring post repetitions - its for the professional procrastinators ) Then I wholesale assassination politics from the top down - POTUS first, billionaire Bill Gates second, known fascists third. Have we gone viral overnight? Are we there yet? https://stiffs.com/celebrity/vladimirputin

China’s Social Justice Approach to Litigation Finance
by professor rat 24 Apr '22

Every time some bureaucrat in Red Fascist China makes noises like this they get slapped down soon after. A bait and switch as old as " the 100 Flowers * campaign. More recently its was ' We won't surveil the little guy doing crypto transactions under X amount " Yeah right. TL/DR there will never be any top-down crypto-currency regulation short of an alien invasion. This means huge regulatory arbitrage opportunities and more cryptoanarchy. Welcome to the anarchist revolution you commie dipshits.

When this is over they can tattoo the second amendment on my butt. Freedom of thought, without anarchism, is just scumbag-entitlement, privilege and injustice. In the cryptoanarchist justice system there are two main forces - netizen-investigators that dox anti-social perps and APster assassins that take out the criminal trash. These are their stories *Dum Dum*

Hagia Sophia is a[UNESCO](https://greekreporter.com/tag/UNESCO/)World Heritage site. The 15th-century door was used by Byzantine emperors to enter the most significant Orthodox place of worship. According to the prime minister’s office, Azoulay reiterated her organization’s concerns over the repercussions of the Turkish government’s decision in 2020 to turn Hagia Sophia, then a museum, into a mosque and said she will request an explanation from authorities. Earlier this week, the Turkish Union of Art History posted a photograph depicting the damage to the 15th-century door.
