Federal charges have been filed against Jamison Wagner, 40, an Albuquerque resident, in connection with recent arson attacks targeting the Tesla Albuquerque Showroom and the Republican Party of New Mexico (RPNM) headquarters. Investigators linked Wagner to both incidents through surveillance footage and scene evidence. “Let this be the final lesson to those taking part in this ongoing wave of political violence,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “We will arrest you, we will prosecute you, and we will not negotiate. Crimes have consequences.” “Hurling firebombs is not political protest,” said Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. “It is a dangerous felony that we will prosecute to the maximum extent. The impressive work by law enforcement in New Mexico sends a clear message to perpetrators of all of the shameful attacks on Tesla facilities and political establishments: we are coming for you, you can’t hide, and you will do serious jail time to pay for your crimes.” “This arrest is part of the FBI’s aggressive efforts to investigate and hold accountable those who have targeted Tesla facilities in various states across the country,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “Thank you to our agents and support teams in Albuquerque who did an outstanding job executing the mission. Under Attorney General Bondi’s leadership, we will continue to locate and arrest those responsible for these acts of domestic terrorism, and the FBI will work with partners at the Department of Justice to ensure such lawbreakers face justice.” “A key suspect is now in custody thanks to the exceptional work of ATF’s Special Agents, certified fire investigators, and forensic specialists,” said Deputy Director Robert Cekada of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. “This arrest marks a critical step toward justice in the firebombing that targeted a Tesla dealership and the New Mexico Republican Party Headquarters. Our teams worked around the clock—collecting, analyzing, and connecting forensic evidence across both scenes. With the support of our local partners, the FBI, and the rapid work of ATF’s forensic lab, we were able to link the crimes, identify those responsible, and take swift action to protect the public. This is what ATF does best: we follow the evidence, we find the truth, and we bring offenders to justice.” A front-profile view of a Tesla parked outside, with doors, hood, and windshield severely damaged. According to court documents, in the early morning hours of Feb. 9, 2025, the Tesla Albuquerque Showroom was targeted in an arson attack. Two Tesla vehicles were involved in the fire, one of which was significantly damaged. An intact glass container containing an improvised napalm material was found in the second vehicle. Investigators noted a hand-written capital “I” or “H” letter on the top of the green metal lid. Graffiti was spray-painted in red and black paint on the building and six other vehicles, including “Die Elon,” “Tesla Nazi Inc,” and “Die Tesla Nazi,” along with swastika symbols. A person wearing white gloves holding a class container. TESLA NAZI INC and DIE TESLA spray-painted in black and red on the façade of a white building. Surveillance video captured the suspect on scene, and he was observed as a tall, light-skinned individual, possibly over 6 feet tall, wearing black clothing and a mask, and carrying a white box. Individual in dark clothing carrying a white box. The following month, in the early morning hours of March 30, 2025, a second arson attack occurred, this time at the Republican Party New Mexico (RPNM) office. The fire significantly damaged the front door and entry area. At the scene, investigators collected shattered glass and metal lids from what appeared to be two to three separate glass containers. Two of the lids bore a handwritten capital “I” or “H,” similar in appearance to the letter found on the lid of the glass container at the Tesla scene. Graffiti with the phrase “ICE=KKK” was found on the south wall of the building. Depicts sustained fire damage to the exterior door of a brown building. Exterior building façade with ICE = KKK spraypainted in red. A picture containing fire debris and yellow evidence tent 1. Investigators reviewed surveillance footage from nearby businesses and identified a white sedan parking on the north side of the RPNM office building before the fire. A single individual exited the vehicle, approached the RPNM headquarters, and a flash of light was recorded. The individual then returned to the vehicle and drove away. The vehicle was captured on nearby surveillance as it left the RPNM scene. After review of the available surveillance, law enforcement preliminarily identified the suspect vehicle as in what appeared to be a white Hyundai Accent between the years 2012 and 2015. A white car driving down the street. Investigators determined that both arsons involved the use of homemade incendiary devices utilizing glass containers and flammable liquids. The resulting investigation connected Wagner as a significant person of interest for both crime scenes. Among other links, Wagner’s physical description matches that of the suspect in the available surveillance footage and investigators determined that Wagner owns a white 2015 Hyundai Accent. Bald man with glasses smiling. Wagner Facebook photo. Man in black hoodie. Tesla arson suspect. A person with a beard against a blue background. Wagner’s driver’s license. On April 12, 2025, agents from the FBI and ATF executed a search warrant at Wagner’s residence in Albuquerque without incident. Inside, investigators uncovered substantial evidence linking him to both arson attacks including: A white cardboard box containing eight assembled suspected incendiary devices. Blue Styrofoam egg cartons consistent with the polystyrene material found in the improvised napalm used in the Tesla fire. Materials for manufacturing additional incendiary devices and ignitable liquids consistent with the gasoline used at both fire scenes. A jar with a green gingham-style lid similar to one found at the RPNM fire scene, along with several jars marked with handwritten capital letters “I” or “H,” similar to markings seen on lids recovered from both arson sites. Black and red spray paint matching the graffiti used at both crime scenes. A stencil bearing the phrase “ICE=KKK,” consistent with graffiti found at the RPNM fire scene. Red and white stencil that reads ICE = KKK. Wagner’s white Hyundai Accent was found in his garage during the search. Investigators noted modifications consistent with efforts to avoid identification during the commission of the crimes. “The charges today demonstrate that there is no place in our society for politically or ideologically motivated acts of violence and extremism,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Holland S. Kastrin for the District of New Mexico. “We are grateful for the tireless and exceptional work of our law enforcement partners to identify the alleged perpetrator of these unacceptable criminal acts and commit to prosecuting this case to the fullest extent of the law.” Wagner is charged with two counts of malicious damage or destruction of property by fire or explosives and will remain in custody pending a detention hearing which has not been set. If convicted of the current charges, Wagner faces between five and 20 years in prison for each count. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the FBI Albuquerque Field Office are jointly investigating the case with assistance from the Albuquerque Police Department and the New Mexico Department of Justice. Numerous additional agencies responded to the arson scenes or otherwise provided valuable assistance, including the Santa Ana Pueblo Police Department, the Sandoval County Fire Department, the New Mexico State Fire Marshals Office, Albuquerque Fire Rescue, the United States Postal Inspection Service, and Homeland Security Investigations. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Maria Elena Stiteler and Nicholas Mote for the District of New Mexico and Trial Attorney Patrick Cashman of the National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section are prosecuting the case. A criminal complaint is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Bloomberg Women's Buy-Side Network - AI: The Future of Investing
by Gunnar Larson 15 Apr '25

Dear Ms. Miedvietsky: Great meeting you yesterday at Bloomberg's New York Headquarters. It was nice to briefly discuss New York City's water quality with you. *Are you familiar with this "young elephant" statue outside BNP Paribas' 787 Seventh Avenue office in New York City?:* - https://images.app.goo.gl/5S9Vr New York City has a story about "Happy the Elephant" that could end-up relating to this "young elephant" statue outside BNP Paribas in New York City. *Bronx Zoo’s Happy the Elephant Hasn’t Been Seen in Two Weeks, Observers Say:* *The zoo says “nothing is wrong with” the half-century-old pachyderm.* - https://www.thecity.nyc/2024/07/31/happy-elephant-mystery-bronx-zoo-nonhuma…'s%20highest%20court%20ruled,and%20freedom%20from%20unfair%20confinement . The New York Court of Appeals ruled against a lawsuit that sought to grant an elephant, Happy, at the Bronx Zoo, the right to bodily liberty and freedom from unfair confinement, citing that the writ of habeas corpus <https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-charter-us-revc&cs=1&sca_es…> is intended for human beings, not animals. While acknowledging Happy's cognitive complexity and self-awareness, the court found she didn't possess the fundamental human right to be free from unlawful detention. Here's a more detailed breakdown: - The Case: The Nonhuman Rights Project (NRP) filed a lawsuit in 2018, arguing that Happy the elephant, at the Bronx Zoo, should be granted a writ of habeas corpus, meaning she should be freed from what they argued was unlawful confinement. They claimed she was entitled to the same rights as humans and deserved to be transferred to a sanctuary. - Court Ruling: The New York Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, dismissed the NRP's petition. The majority of judges ruled that while elephants are intelligent and deserving of compassion, they do not have the same rights as humans, specifically regarding habeas corpus. - Justification: The court argued that habeas corpus is a legal tool intended to protect human liberty and freedom from illegal detention, and it does not apply to non-human animals. - Consequences: This ruling means that Happy remains at the Bronx Zoo, and the legal battle for animals' rights has been dealt a blow in New York. - Ongoing Efforts: Despite the court ruling, animal rights advocates continue to push for better treatment of animals in captivity and are exploring other avenues for change, such as local legislation. ----- Ms. Miedvietsky, xNY.io - Bank.org feels the water quality in New York City, the elephant statue at BNP Paribas in New York City and "*The Greatest Fish Story Ever Told*" may all have something in common. *The Greatest Fish Story Ever Told:* Art Director/Designer/Photographer: Bert Steinhauser Copywriter: Frada Sklar Wallach Client: El Al Isreal Airlines *"Thousands of years ago, in the Sea of* *Galilee, there was a tasty little fish known * *as chromis simonis. The 'Big Fisherman' * *himself is said to have caught it. So it was * *named St. Peter's fish, after him. * *The name stuck to the fish and the fish * *stuck to the Galilee. The wonder is that it* *hasn't changed since Peter's day. Restau-* *rants all over Israel serve it and in Tiberias * *it's a specialty. * *If you like, you can hook your own 'St. * *Peter' in the Sea of Galilee. Or fish for other * *fish in other waters. The seas runneth over * *with prizes. In Eilat, there's even a famous * *restaurant that will cook your catch right * *on the spot.* *While the fish is grilling, you can be bak-* *ing on a nearby beach. Telling your own fish story. Or just watching the snorkelers watching the fish. * *If you're a meat and potatoes man, or* *lady, you won't go hungry. How about * *barbecued lamb with hummus (ground chickpeas) or home-cooked chicken soup* *with noodles or boiled beef with curry or* *very good goulash? * *And don't worry about getting fat. Places * *like ancient Sodom, King Solomon's Mines,* *Massada, The Tomb of Absalom, Mt.* *Tabor and Capernaum are scattered from * *one end of Israel to the other. You'll need* *some extra food to keep up your strength. * *To get you off to a good start, El Al will land* *you at Tel Aviv with a few hearty meals* *under your belt. Including a* *breakfast of bagels and cream* *cheese and lox.* *Then we'll add a warm* *Shalom. There'll be nothing* *fishy about that. * *EL* *AL* *The airline of the people of Isreal*." Ms. Miedvietsky, I look forward to hearing what you think of the elephant statue outside BNP Paribas' 787 Seventh Avenue New York City office place. Thank you, Gunnar Larson -- Gunnar Donald Arthur Peter Larson *xNY.io - Bank.org* 917-580-8053 NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10001

Client: El Al Isreal Airlines Good people died that might be born in a land called home. I have heard the stories and seen the graves. But now we are here and the land is ours. Not all milk and honey, but ours. We shared a name, the land and I--Isreal. And we share a birthday. Twenty years. For me, a long time. For my people who waited thousands of years, almost nothing. But we have made something of that nothing. Now the hills of rocks are hills of trees. Fifty million trees. Jerusalem pines, planted one at a time. Cities thrive where nothing thrived Orange trees boom where nothing bloomed. An almost dead language is alive again. We read the Dead Sea Scrolls as easy as you read this magazine. We mine copper where King Solomon mined copper. We make fresh water from the sea, and we share what we have learned with other nations. We build airports and schools in Asia, sell baby chickens and farm equipment in Europe, and exchange our students with even younger countries in Africa. How do we go to so many places? Easy. We have our own airline. El Al Isreal Airlines. You don't know what El Al means? It means "to the skies" in that almost dead langue. It also means that our jets are welcome in 17 different nations. Yes, we have everything now: Universities, symphony orchestras, great museums, politicians, dropouts, traffic jams, a little air pollution--everything. We are of this century, with all the strengths and weaknesses and problems of people everywhere. We will survive. Because, above all, we are here. Alive.

Nevertheless, the >>> Court held that the fact that source material for Business Casual's videos >>> was in the public domain weighed against finding fair use, because TV >>> Novosti could have simply used public domain photos of the historical >>> figures, rather than the modified clips, to create its videos. >>> >>> Regarding the third factor, concerning the amount of use in relation to >>> the copyrighted work as a whole, the Court noted that while only "small >>> portions of the entire copyrighted works were used"—excerpts of 7 seconds, >>> 1 minute and 28 seconds, and 8 minutes and 50 seconds in length—the >>> portions were "not so trivial as to warrant dismissal under the de minimis >>> doctrine." >>> >>> Lastly, regarding the fourth factor, concerning the effect of the use on >>> the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work, the Court noted >>> that this factor "ask[s] not whether the second work would damage the >>> market for the first (by, for example, devaluing it through parody or >>> criticism), but whether it usurps the market for the first by offering a >>> competing substitute." With this framing, the Court thus found that while >>> one the one hand, TV-Novosti's "videos are alternative ways of learning >>> about the lives of J.P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller," on the other hand, >>> they "have a broader focus and are in a different language, meaning that >>> they cater to a different audience." These differences, the Court held, >>> were significant enough to preclude the Court from "determining the effect >>> of [TV-Novosti's] videos on the market for [Business Casual's] videos at >>> this time." >>> >>> The Court's recognition of the weight of the fourth factor in >>> determining fair use means that there may still be hope for TV-Novosti—time >>> (and fact discovery) will tell. For now, the takeaway may very well be >>> that parties seeking to raise a fair use defense should take care to >>> emphasize any characteristics of their use that distinguish not just their >>> work, but its target audience, including the scope of the work and the >>> language (if any) which communicates it. >>> >>> *-----(PAGE BREAK)-----* >>> >>> xNY.io - Bank.org respectfully reserves all Interjurisdictional rights. >>> >>> Thank you, >>> >>> Gunnar Larson >>> -- >>> Gunnar Donald Arthur Peter Larson >>> >>> *xNY.io - Bank.org* >>> 917-580-8053 >>> NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10001 >>> >>> On Fri, Mar 28, 2025, 2:22 AM Gunnar Larson <g(a)xny.io> wrote: >>> >>>> Art Director/Designer: Robert W.

MANHATTAN WATER; Fwd: Bloomberg Women's Buy-Side Network - AI: The Future of Investing; Ex-EBay Execs Want To Question Key Stalking Case Witness

Ms. James: Yesterday, April 10, 2025, xNY.io - Bank.org was at Bloomberg's New York City Headquarters. - Today, April 11, 2025 xNY.io - Bank.org took New York City's water quality argument to BNP Paribas for further investigation. Ex-EBay Execs Want To Question Key Stalking Case Witness <https://www.law360.com/cybersecurity-privacy/articles/2323878?nl_pk=fb10114…> By Elliot Weld Three former eBay executives facing claims they helped direct a campaign to harass bloggers critical of the company have told a Massachusetts federal judge they want to question a key witness about his past role as an undercover government agent.

Thank you, Gunnar Larson -- Gunnar Donald Arthur Peter Larson *xNY.io - Bank.org* 917-580-8053 NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10001 ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Gunnar Larson <g(a)xny.io> Date: Fri, Apr 11, 2025, 2:55 PM Subject: Bloomberg Women's Buy-Side Network - AI: The Future of Investing To: <alina.miedvietsky(a)us.bnpparibas.com> Cc: <jan.bischoping(a)bnpparibas.com>, cypherpunks < cypherpunks(a)lists.cpunks.org> Dear Ms. Miedvietsky: Great meeting you yesterday at Bloomberg's New York Headquarters. It was nice to briefly discuss New York City's water quality with you. *Are you familiar with this "young elephant" statue outside BNP Paribas' 787 Seventh Avenue office in New York City?:* - https://images.app.goo.gl/5S9Vr New York City has a story about "Happy the Elephant" that could end-up relating to this "young elephant" statue outside BNP Paribas in New York City. *Bronx Zoo’s Happy the Elephant Hasn’t Been Seen in Two Weeks, Observers Say:* *The zoo says “nothing is wrong with” the half-century-old pachyderm.* - https://www.thecity.nyc/2024/07/31/happy-elephant-mystery-bronx-zoo-nonhuma…'s%20highest%20court%20ruled,and%20freedom%20from%20unfair%20confinement . The New York Court of Appeals ruled against a lawsuit that sought to grant an elephant, Happy, at the Bronx Zoo, the right to bodily liberty and freedom from unfair confinement, citing that the writ of habeas corpus <https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-charter-us-revc&cs=1&sca_es…> is intended for human beings, not animals. While acknowledging Happy's cognitive complexity and self-awareness, the court found she didn't possess the fundamental human right to be free from unlawful detention. Here's a more detailed breakdown: - The Case: The Nonhuman Rights Project (NRP) filed a lawsuit in 2018, arguing that Happy the elephant, at the Bronx Zoo, should be granted a writ of habeas corpus, meaning she should be freed from what they argued was unlawful confinement. They claimed she was entitled to the same rights as humans and deserved to be transferred to a sanctuary. - Court Ruling: The New York Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, dismissed the NRP's petition. The majority of judges ruled that while elephants are intelligent and deserving of compassion, they do not have the same rights as humans, specifically regarding habeas corpus. - Justification: The court argued that habeas corpus is a legal tool intended to protect human liberty and freedom from illegal detention, and it does not apply to non-human animals. - Consequences: This ruling means that Happy remains at the Bronx Zoo, and the legal battle for animals' rights has been dealt a blow in New York. - Ongoing Efforts: Despite the court ruling, animal rights advocates continue to push for better treatment of animals in captivity and are exploring other avenues for change, such as local legislation. ----- Ms. Miedvietsky, xNY.io - Bank.org feels the water quality in New York City, the elephant statue at BNP Paribas in New York City and "*The Greatest Fish Story Ever Told*" may all have something in common. *The Greatest Fish Story Ever Told:* Art Director/Designer/Photographer: Bert Steinhauser Copywriter: Frada Sklar Wallach Client: El Al Isreal Airlines *"Thousands of years ago, in the Sea of* *Galilee, there was a tasty little fish known * *as chromis simonis. The 'Big Fisherman' * *himself is said to have caught it. So it was * *named St. Peter's fish, after him. * *The name stuck to the fish and the fish * *stuck to the Galilee. The wonder is that it* *hasn't changed since Peter's day. Restau-* *rants all over Israel serve it and in Tiberias * *it's a specialty. * *If you like, you can hook your own 'St. * *Peter' in the Sea of Galilee. Or fish for other * *fish in other waters. The seas runneth over * *with prizes. In Eilat, there's even a famous * *restaurant that will cook your catch right * *on the spot.* *While the fish is grilling, you can be bak-* *ing on a nearby beach. Telling your own fish story. Or just watching the snorkelers watching the fish. * *If you're a meat and potatoes man, or* *lady, you won't go hungry. How about * *barbecued lamb with hummus (ground chickpeas) or home-cooked chicken soup* *with noodles or boiled beef with curry or* *very good goulash? * *And don't worry about getting fat. Places * *like ancient Sodom, King Solomon's Mines,* *Massada, The Tomb of Absalom, Mt.* *Tabor and Capernaum are scattered from * *one end of Israel to the other. You'll need* *some extra food to keep up your strength. * *To get you off to a good start, El Al will land* *you at Tel Aviv with a few hearty meals* *under your belt. Including a* *breakfast of bagels and cream* *cheese and lox.* *Then we'll add a warm* *Shalom. There'll be nothing* *fishy about that. * *EL* *AL* *The airline of the people of Isreal*." Ms. Miedvietsky, I look forward to hearing what you think of the elephant statue outside BNP Paribas' 787 Seventh Avenue New York City office place. Thank you, Gunnar Larson -- Gunnar Donald Arthur Peter Larson *xNY.io - Bank.org* 917-580-8053 NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10001
