Abstract The solution is set Quantum Hash(HashQ) to avoid Quantum Attack. Placing Falcon algorithm after SHA256 to create Private and Public keys safe and strong. I have given this example with the Falcon. You can place the one You decide after due rational consensus, You can place the most compact signature, with robust security and efficiency. Always after SHA256. A parallel option is built on the same Bitcoin network, where there is a Quantum format network so that users can safely and privately migrate their bitcoins to save them from a Quantum attack. A function is built parallel to the current function in the running branch and thus both blockchains coexist: The classic one and the one robust to the Quantum attack. https://c.gmx.com/@1353820301439272152/Tff4B46bSOyzhKBKMZdA9A You do not need a hard fork, just add this parallel option function to create a solution without affecting the current one branch and giving the possibility for users to take refuge in this robust and secure option. In this system, mining incentives must be balanced and greater than current one. What I have proposed gives Bitcoin a Higher Binary level when it reaches the category of Parallel System in execution. This is applicable to any system, what I propose is the birth of Parallel Systems from the same running branch, without altering what was built and what will be built by the branch from which the Parallel System is executed. Both build independently on the same branch. Both co-exist!. https://crypto.unibe.ch/fc25/paper.php/70?cap=hcav70nCzgoMbFzntiotFRNeuiBQPA Satoshi Nakamoto PGP --> DE4E FCA3 E1AB 9E41 CE96 CECB 18C0 9E86 5EC9 48A1

Donald Trump to Ring Bell at New York Stock Exchange Today as Hit List Posters Appear in Manhattan Targeting Wall Street CEOs
by Gunnar Larson 12 Dec '24

https://wallstreetonparade.com/2024/12/donald-trump-to-ring-bell-at-new-yor… By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: December 12, 2024 ~ Wanted Poster in Manhattan Following Assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Wanted Poster in Manhattan Following Assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson The Associated Press is reporting that Donald Trump will ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange at 9:30 a.m. this morning as Time Magazine is expected to name him its “Person of the Year,” also today. This appears to be the latest in growing efforts by Trump’s marketing machine to define deviancy down while attempting to normalize Trump’s unprecedented monetizing of the Presidency as nothing more than good ole capitalism. (The Trump Organization now has its own “official retail website,” TrumpStore.com, hawking everything from sweaters and gift wrap to a line of home goods, all emblazoned with the “Trump” name.) If Trump does show up this morning to ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, it will be his first time doing so. It will also be the first time that a 34-count convicted felon has rung the bell at the New York Stock Exchange while awaiting to be inaugurated as President of the United States on January 20. Why would the iconic New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) want to tarnish its brand by consorting with scandal-ridden Donald Trump? One potential explanation comes to mind. The NYSE was sold to the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) in 2013. ICE remains its parent today. Jeffrey Sprecher is the Founder, Chairman & CEO of the Intercontinental Exchange. This past year, Sprecher wrote out big checks to Make America Great Again, Inc. (MAGAPAC), the Super PAC with a stated mission of ensuring “a second Trump administration.” Sprecher contributed $1 million to MAGAPAC on June 26 and another check for $250,000 on September 9. In addition, Sprecher contributed $924,600 to the Trump 47 Committee, a joint-fundraising committee created to support Trump, the Republican National Committee and state Republican party committees. Sprecher also contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars more directly to the Republican National Committee and state Republican Party committees. Trump’s appearance at the New York Stock Exchange in the Wall Street area comes in a week that the New York City Police Department has issued a bulletin warning that companies should be on heightened alert to protect the safety of their CEOs and other senior executives. The bulletin revealed that “Wanted Posters” were being posted around Manhattan naming specific CEOs and included their photos. Posting Wanted Posters targeting CEOs in prominent areas of Manhattan this past week strikes us as particularly curious since it has been widely reported by news media that there are thousands of surveillance cameras throughout Manhattan and the NYPD has the capability to use facial recognition technology to zoom in on bad actors. Indeed, in very short order after the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on December 4, the NYPD released multiple photos of the suspected assassin, tracking his movements around Manhattan both with and without his mask in place. Bloomberg News reported the following regarding the Wanted Posters: “The posters included images of insurance leaders including UnitedHealth Group Inc.’s Brian Thompson, who was murdered last Wednesday, as well as financial executives from American Express Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The posters of Thompson were crossed out with a red X.” The NYPD bulletin was not made available to the public, but ABC News was able to obtain a copy. ABC News reported that the bulletin quoted several anti-CEO social media posts, including a Reddit post that read: “The politicians are compromised and the corporations are suffocating us – all CEO’s should be considered. Sucks when your government is bought by these CEO’s who immediately impact the masses.” ABC News also reported that the NYPD bulletin warned that “prior to and after” the arrest of Luigi Mangione, the 26-year old suspected assassin of Brian Thompson on a sidewalk outside of the New York Hilton Midtown hotel on December 4, “some online users across social media platforms reacted positively to the killing, encouraged future targeting of similar executives, and shared conspiracy theories regarding the shooting.” FacebookTwitterWhatsAppLinkedInEmail

Fwd: Memo #4 - Goldman Sachs Deferred Prosecution Agreement
by Gunnar Larson 12 Dec '24

12 Dec '24

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ajVVx6NGB9wd2GDXfLRftf0RVFpqjl8WWITvdNV… March 10, 2022 BY ELECTRONIC MAIL Mr. John Marzulli United States Department of Justice Eastern District of New York 271 Cadman Plaza East Brooklyn New York, 11201 John.Marzulli(a)usdoj.gov Re: Memo #4 - Goldman Sachs Deferred Prosecution Agreement Dear Mr. Marzulli: The Department of Justice has yet to respond to Memo #1, Memo #2 and Memo #3 with our recent inquiry to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad Deferred Agreement. Goldman Sachs' Deferred Prosecution Agreement <https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/goldman-sachs-resolves-foreign-bribery…> with the United States of America is in potential breach, with ethical enforcement being concerned. Memo #4 aims to associate the malfeasance in Malaysia with war crimes of aggression (in the planning, initiation, or execution of a large-scale and serious act of aggression), leveraging the world’s only military divided capital city Nicosia, Cyprus. 1. Additionally, Memo #4 aims to earn the DOJ’s assessment of New York State’s regulatory marketplace manipulation deriving the war crime against peace, related to the planning, preparation, initiation, waging or participation in a common plan or conspiracy related to a war of aggression, which can only apply in relation to international armed conflict. 2. In this case, the first challenge is to observe and consider the simple idea that the DOJ’s Deferred Prosecution Agreement with Goldman Sachs alone, through means of regulatory arbitrage naively fails to recognize the ‘cause and effect’ relationship at play at the inception of Memo #4’s assertion of war crimes. 3. Even with the best of intentions, perhaps unknowingly the DOJ may be amplifying the effect of potential war crimes by indirectly supplementing the root cause of the problem and financial model of the Deferred Agreement being self-policing. Mr. Marzulli, there has been an active United Nations peacekeeping mission in Cyprus since the 1964 Turkish military invasion and occupation of the northern third of Cyprus. Only Turkey recognises the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, while there is broad recognition that the ongoing military presence constitutes occupation of territories that are under Turkish military control. - The graduate education behind Memo #4 is a product of the University of Nicosia’s (UNIC) main campus, located adjacent to the United Nations Buffer Zone that separates the invaded Turkish Republic of North Cyprus and the Republic of Cyprus, which joined the European Union in 2004. - Memo #4 is also a product of United Nations consultancy, based at its Manhattan headquarters, where (today, what is now xNY.io - Bank.org) was credited with increasing the breadth and accessibility of reference content from the world’s most important multinational organization. - Memo #4’s subject of war crimes has preeminent association with such projects as the Audio Visual Library of International Law. Over the following sections, Memo #4 will provide a detailed timeline that would constitute real concern of the war crime of aggression yielding the war crime against peace in active war conflict in the world’s only military divided capital, funded from Manhattan Island. The Bank of Cyprus and Illegal Short Selling Irregularities of Turkey’s Markets Mr. Marzulli, turn this matter as we will, and look at it from any side whatsoever, and it presents the appearance of a cross-border act of aggression. Goldman Sachs’ potential disrespect to the Deferred Agreement’s core values has cultivated new crimes that aim to manipulate cross-border war crime regulatory frameworks. - On April 02, 2021 the Financial Times reported that Turkey fined Goldman Sachs over alleged irregularities in short selling, just a week after foreign investors pulled $1.9B from the country’s stock and bond markets. Turkey’s Capital Markets Board said that Goldman Sachs was among 10 securities firms that had placed orders for short selling without proper notification, violating rules enacted previously that temporarily prohibited such transactions. - On April 20, 2021 the CyprusMail (Cyprus’ only English Language daily newspaper) reported Goldman Sachs International acted as Global Coordinators and Dealer Managers in a $330M bond issuance for the Bank of Cyprus. Given the active military conflict in Cyprus, Memo #4 notes that there is one place on the planet you are not supposed to do this sort of thing. Furthermore, the DOJ’s Deferred Agreement with Goldman Sachs may have been tainted with the potential war crime of aggression, risking international peace and the lives of United Nations peacekeepers, while jeopardizing the United States of America’s financial security. Concern of New York Prime Bank Instrument Fraud and Marketplace Manipulation The United States Department of the Treasury warns that Prime Bank Instrument Fraud schemes have attracted significant international attention, since individuals and organizations have lost billions of dollars worldwide. "Prime Bank Instrument Fraud" is the general term given to prime bank fraud schemes that go by many different names. During April 2021, Goldman Sachs could not in good faith (and, plausible deniability) make any reasonable claim of holding a pristine relationship with Turkey’s Central Bank or with Cyprus’ largest financial institutions, given the 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal and then pending Deferred Prosecution Agreement with the United States of America. - Memo #4 suggests that Goldman Sachs developed a Prime Bank Instrument Fraud program to level out yo-yo market dynamics caused by failed marketplace manipulation exercises in Turkey and Cyprus. - Systematic bank fraud and/or marketplace manipulation of any kind between Turkey and Cyprus could constitute the war crime of aggression. - Furthermore, Memo #4 argues that Goldman Sachs may have tried to bambooze governments in New York, Cyprus and Turkey through regulatory arbitrage loopholes, while Goldman seemingly may have not considered the totality of such actions as war crimes. Turkey has the highest inflation in Europe. It has the second-highest rate of inflation among emerging markets, just behind Argentina. It has the 13th highest inflation rate in the world, ranking it between South Sudan and Nigeria. After Goldman Sachs was fined for illegal stock and bond market short selling by the Turkish government, logic would argue further malfeasance potentially could have been avoided by the DOJ’s 1Malaysia Development Berhad investigation. - On April 15, 2021 CNBC reported that Goldman Sachs (note, the previous section’s milestones of April 02, 2021 and April 20, 2021) crucially removed its bias toward Turkey tightening interest rates. Goldman issued guidance highlighting the fact that the bank thought that, “…the removal of the tightening bias against rising inflation expectations suggests that the TCMB (Turkish Central Bank) now has a more dovish reaction function.” - On August 14, 2021 the CyprusMail reported serious concern among economists about data reporting from the Turkish Statistical Institute. Ahmet Takan, a former official with the office of the Turkish prime minister, acted as a whistle blower, warning that Turkey potentially was manipulating inflation data. - On September 1, 2021 Reuters reported that Goldman Sachs hiked Turkish growth forecasts. Goldman economists issued guidance stating, "Overall, the Turkish economy has been able to grow faster than we thought without a deterioration in its external balances, as the pickup in foreign demand has been very supportive." - On November 30, 2021 Reuters reported that Goldman Sachs trimed Turkey’s 2022 growth forecast. Goldman Sachs' Murat Unur stated, "We think that the GDP figures released today tell us little about the pace of economic activity going forward as the recent sell-off in the Lira is likely to impact economic activity significantly" Mr. Marzulli, the DOJ’s Deferred Prosecution Agreement with Goldman Sachs was signed on October 21, 2021. The timeline of events above do not coincide with terms and conditions of the Deferred Agreement mandated by the United States of America. Furthermore, as an international graduate scholars of the world’s only military divided capital on the planet, xNY.io - Bank.org should be protected from any association of crimes against peace, related to the planning, preparation, initiation, waging or participation in a common plan or conspiracy related to a war of aggression, which can only apply in relation to international armed conflict. War Crimes Against Humanity Mr. Marzulli, xNY.io - Bank.org is concerned that potential breaches to the Deferred Agreement are impacting our global enterprise. Crimes against humanity can be committed in peacetime as well as during an armed conflict. Even a single act could fall under this exclusion ground provided it forms part of a widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population and the act is committed by any person (including a civilian) who had knowledge of the attack and the link of the act to the attack. 1. We are looking to learn more about the DOJ’s approach to assessing any potential breaches to the Deferred Agreement’s mandates as we determine New York State’s role in cross-border bank regulation and corresponding innovation beyond war crimes against humanity. 2. In order to establish whether a war crime or a crime against humanity has been committed, the case officer should consult the relevant international instruments and case law. 3. Crimes against humanity are fundamentally inhumane acts, committed as part of a systematic or widespread attack. Inhumane acts, which could reach this threshold when committed pursuant to or in furtherance of a State or organizational policy (potentially, New York State bank regulation). 4. Persecution against any identifiable group or collectivity on political, racial, national, ethnic, cultural, religious, gender, or other grounds that are universally recognised as impermissible under international law. 5. Furthermore, we have made 28 highlights to the Deferred Agreement providing supporting reference to Memo #4’s overarching premise. xNY.io - Bank.org submits Memo #4 for DOJ consideration of other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health. Some crimes against humanity would require an additional specific intent, such as Goldman Sachs willfully disrespecting New York State and/or overall peace and security of the United States of America. Memo #1, Memo #2, Memo #3 and Memo #4 outline instances that correspond with the associated definitions of the potential war crimes abroad and jeopardize the future of bank innovation from New York, at great sacrifice to the Homeland. We hope to learn the DOJ’s approach to comment on Memo #4’s subject matter or, without delay refer these concerns to the International Criminal Court and/or International Court of Justice for comment.
