Did you know that the United Nations banks with JPMorgan Chase? Your story today concerning Women and girls human trafficking seemingly is odd for the UN's banking relationship with JPM.

Driver charged more than 1 year after carriage horse Ryder’s collapse in Manhattan
by Gunnar Larson 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

More than a year after a New York City carriage horse named Ryder collapsed in Midtown, his driver Ian McKeever was arrested on animal abuse charges, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said. McKeever was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on Wednesday and charged in a misdemeanor complaint with one count of overdriving, torturing and injuring animals, and failure to provide proper sustenance, according to the DA’s office. He pleaded not guilty, according to court records. McKeever's attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The complaint details Ryder’s last day as a carriage horse on Aug. 10, 2022, when he started work with McKeever at 9:30 a.m. Throughout the day, he was seen looking “very frail and thin,” and walking slowly while panting with his tongue hanging out of his mouth, according to the complaint. “As alleged, Ryder should not have been working on this hot summer day,” Bragg said in a statement. At around 5:10 p.m., Ryder collapsed in the middle of West 45th Street near Ninth Avenue, authorities said. According to the complaint, McKeever repeatedly tried forcing the horse to stand up by pulling on his reins, yelling and using his whip. He also didn’t provide the horse any water, and left him with his harness on until a member of the NYPD eventually took it off, the complaint details. The police officer was also the one who put ice and cold water on Ryder until he was able to get back up, according to the complaint. After the horse's collapse, Pete Donohue, a spokesperson for Transport Workers Union Local 100 – the group that represents horse carriage drivers – told Gothamist the horse was suffering from equine protozoal myeloencephalitis, a neurological disease horses can contract from eating infected opossum droppings, and not heat exhaustion. After the incident, Ryder was retired to a farm outside of the city. The city’s health department then accused the horse carriage’s owners of falsifying his age in veterinary records, from 26 to 13 years old. According to the criminal complaint, on top of old age, he suffered from a variety of significant health issues. “Despite his condition, he was out for hours and worked to the point of collapse,” Bragg said in a statement. “All animals deserve to be treated with the utmost care and the type of abuse that Ryder allegedly suffered is unacceptable.” Ryder was euthanized due to his poor medical condition in October of last year. Ryder’s collapse made headlines and renewed calls from animal rights advocates to ban horse carriages in the city. On Wednesday, Edita Birnkrant, executive director of New Yorkers for Clean, Livable and Safe Streets – or NYCLASS – said she was grateful to see animal rights taken seriously, but one arrest, she added, doesn’t undo what she describes as an industrywide problem with abuse. “Animal cruelty is not taken seriously. It is not a top priority, so it's rare that these kind of charges are filed in any abuse case,” Birnkrant said. “We want there to be some kind of accountability and justice, but it's not enough because this doesn't begin and end with Ryder. There are so many horses out there right now suffering.” https://gothamist.com/news/driver-charged-more-than-1-year-after-carriage-h…

Women Are Leading the Fight to Stop Climate Change https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2023-11-16/world-efforts-to-stop-cl… Over the past few years, international climate policy has been shaped largely by a close-knit group of politicians in the twilight of their careers. Now leaders from beyond the traditional US-Europe-China power center—some new to the international stage, others already veterans—are emerging. And women are at the forefront.

Peter Thiel Is Still Hoping That Donald Trump Just Fades Away

Gunnar Donald Arthur Peter Larson ---- Peter Thiel Is Still Hoping That Donald Trump Just Fades Away https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-16/peter-thiel-is-still-hop… At the end of 2016, Donald Trump and the venture capitalist Peter Thiel sat down to a meeting with a group of the most powerful figures in the tech industry. With Apple (AAPL)’s Tim Cook, Tesla (TSLA)’s Elon Musk, Google (GOOGL)’s Larry Page and Amazon.com (AMZN)’s Jeff Bezos looking on, the president-elect thanked Thiel for his early support. Trump then attempted a sort of handshake. Grabbing Thiel’s hand and lightly patting it, he raised it above the table in a gesture that seemed somewhere between tenderness and triumph.

Cryptocurrency: Action - Comment Period, Shut FINCEN Down, Build and Use Privacy Coins
by grarpamp 16 Nov '23

FINCEN Labels All Crypto Users, All Privacy, As Patriot Act Terrorist Criminality, Vows Shutdown and to Arrest Coderpunks https://stacker.news/items/305287/r/BITC0IN https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FINCEN-2023-0016-0001 https://www.regulations.gov/document/FINCEN-2023-0016-0001 by Fiach_Dubh - announcement /₿egin inspiring cut scene Remember Remember, The 5th of November… Please forgive the pomp as I step up to this virtual soapbox for a little 5th of November chat. You’re sitting at home, looking for something to do while you wait for your favorite TV show to come on this evening. You've got time to kill. Why not give FINCEN and the Treasury Department a good Yellin-g for their presumptive assertion over your right to transact privately. (You have less than 78 days from the time of this post, to make a comment. Anyone can comment, and comment privately. Current comment count stands at 768.) Better still, why not use that time to learn Bitcoin privacy best practices? That’s right anon, today, you’ve been activated, called up for general mobilization in the fight for the sovereign individual. Some of you may remember the last time we went through this 3 years ago. Trump & Mnuchin tried to pull a fast one on us as they were exiting stage right, but failed. Well the Biden admin is trying to do the same thing again, spear headed by Yellen and the Treasury Department/FINCEN. Welcome to the eternal struggle. The powers that be have taken it upon themselves to acquire one more inch of your-selves. Do not give them your silent consent. Proposed FINCEN regulations surrounding Bitcoin privacy tools will not have the effect regulators desire. They will only serve to further drive the concerning activities further underground, where they will achieve full actualization beyond their control. Long term, they embolden the very concerns they hope to suppress. Furthermore, I do not respect their sub-textual assertion of sovereignty over our right to financial privacy. Without economic freedom you cannot have political freedom. By attempting to capture this economic freedom in a surveillance blackbox at FINCEN, they will only galvanize a force against their public offices. Representatives Who Have Volunteered to be on Our Shit List: Treasury Department's General Phone Number: (202) 622-2000 Janet Yellen’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/SecYellen US Treasury Twitter: https://twitter.com/USTreasury Take your right to transact, to transact privately, explicitly, without apology and with righteous authority. You are not consumers or the governed. You are The Citizenry. Act in good faith, be worthy of your freedoms. What you can do: There are four activities that are worthy of your attention today. Choose just one, and then do a second one if you have the time, and comment with which one you did. The first is less meaningful than the second, third and fourth. Submit a comment to the treasury department regarding their misguided attempt at regulating/suppressing Bitcoin privacy enhancing transactions. These rules only serve to ban their fiat institutions from participating in this ecosystem. Anyone can comment, and comment anonymously. Some example templates of comments submitted include: https://twitter.com/FractalEncrypt/status/1719440960281575907 https://twitter.com/skwp/status/1719025440663261376 https://gist.github.com/skwp/16c668bbb96e17f9176d6d4d39cc79fd Or, consider submitting a copy of the Cypherpunk Manifesto for the record. Also, Read It: https://www.activism.net/cypherpunk/manifesto.html The more meaningful act you can do is learn how to use Bitcoin privacy tools. Do a coinjoin and/or payjoin today with joinmarket! Do a payjoin transaction today with a friend! Learn about the benefits and trade offs of privacy enhancing Bitcoin tools like paynym’s, atomic swaps, lightning, and coin selection practices. Buy and sell your Bitcoin KYC free, Peer to Peer. Also, lobby Bitcoin wallet developers to fully support payjoins, coin selection, and other privacy tools. If you want to go a step farther, you could use a combination of these tools and have the coins sent to a SATSCARD or Opendime. This could then be swapped with a friend or group of friends in person for an equivalent amount of Bitcoin for an in person, offchain, ghost coinjoin. There are now countless Bitcoin conferences and local meetups happening all over the world. It would be great if these events coordinated such privacy enhancing activities. Example physical in-person coinjoin event. The third thing you can do is fund open source developers who work on maintaining and improving privacy enhancing tools today. There will be crowdfunders out there on this issue. But more than likely these will raise money for lawyers and lobbyists, who will only talk to senators and congressmen in Washington. This is a horrible use of funds. Rather, Please, directly support developers who are working on the tools we use today for onchain and offchain Bitcoin privacy. A decent list of Bitcoin developers and their Bitcoin donation addresses can be found at https://bitcoindevlist.com (Be sure to support the ones working on Bitcoin Privacy Tools) If you want to send sats via the lightning network to a general fund for this purpose, you can use this page that I maintain to donate sats. I will be sending all collected funds to Bitcoin privacy tool maintainers and developers. But be warned, this platform (geyser) takes a 2% cut, and I could rug pull this donation page at any time. If you don’t want to trust me, then verify by donating directly to developers, not third party middlemen like geyser or myself. Learn the benefits of running a Bitcoin node. Run one, not just for your privacy, but your overall Bitcoin sovereignty. It’s very easy to run a node. You install a program (usually bitcoin core) and let it run. That’s it. This can be done on windows, linux and mac. Go a step further by verifying the binaries of the bitcoin node program you download. Go a step further by building Bitcoin Core from source. Go a step further by running the node over tor or i2p. Go a step further by running a BIP324 node (which will be available in the next release of Bitcoin Core). Thank you for reading and participating in this civil protest. Whether it’s making a comment to FINCEN, phoning your representative, using Bitcoin privacy tools, or just learning about your options to run a Bitcoin node, any of these small steps are ones in the right direction. Any one of these small acts matters. You don't have to do all of them. Just one. Take your pick. Thank You.
