DOJ and FBI have combined to destroy project veritas

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/11/the_doj_and_fbi_have_combined_… November 13, 2021 The DOJ and FBI have combined to destroy Project Veritas By Andrea Widburg Project Veritas uses hidden camera techniques to expose corruption, dishonesty, anarchy, and totalitarian impulses in American institutions. Given the times in which we live, that means Project Veritas is usually exposing leftists and their organizations. It's almost certainly not a coincidence, then, that the FBI engaged in a series of early-morning raids against Project Veritas employees and its founder, James O'Keefe, ostensibly because, a year ago, they possessed, but refused to use (and gave to law enforcement), a diary that we now know belonged to Joe Biden's pathetic, drug-addicted daughter, Ashley. It's even less of a coincidence that the New York Times immediately knew about the raids and later published Project Veritas's confidential correspondence with its attorneys. What we're witnessing is a political hit job that would be completely at home in any penny-ante, third-world, tin pot tyranny — in other words, welcome to Biden's America. The story starts with Ashley Biden, a Biden child almost as pathetic as Hunter. Like her brother, she has had drug problems, including an arrest for marijuana possession (although, big surprise, the charges were dropped) and a video purportedly showing her using cocaine at a party. Over a year ago, the louche Ashley ended up in a drug rehabilitation center and reported that her diary was stolen while she was there. Tipsters approached Project Veritas, claiming to have a copy of the diary, which, they said, Ashley had abandoned or forgotten when she left the clinic. Unable to determine whether the diary was even real, Project Veritas tried to give it to Ashley's attorney, who refused it. Project Veritas then gave it to law enforcement. It never published the diary. Eventually, the National File released the document. It made a bit of a splash because the diary refers to Ashley's belief that she was sexually abused as a child; talks about inappropriate showers with Daddy Joe; and discusses drug abuse, marital affairs, and more. It's the pathetic document of a damaged person raised by a sleazy parent. All that was a year ago. And then, last week, the FBI engaged in pre-dawn, knock-the-door-down raids on Project Veritas reporters: Think about that: we're talking about a common theft, something that belongs under the jurisdiction of the local cops, but the DOJ and FBI come together to engage in aggressive raids on a journalism outfit that has a habit of exposing problems in the administration's allies.

Ars Technica: Intel apologizes for banning use of components from Xinjiang

Ars Technica: Intel apologizes for banning use of components from Xinjiang. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/12/intel-apologizes-for-banning-use-of… Intel has apologized for a ban on using components from Xinjiang in response to attacks from Chinese nationalist media over the policy, becoming the latest multinational to become embroiled in China’s battle with the US over human rights issues. The episode quickly became one of the most talked-about topics online in China with netizens on Twitter-like Weibo calling for the government to hit Intel with fines and other punishments. The controversy erupted after Intel sent a year-end letter to suppliers noting that components made in the north-western Chinese region of Xinjiang should not be used in its chips. The message attracted the attention of nationalist media outlet Guancha. In a Chinese language social media post, Intel said it wanted to “clarify” that the ban was only for compliance with US law and not its “own intention or position.” “We apologize for the trouble caused to our respected Chinese customers, partners and the public,” Intel added

The Jerusalem Post: How fast can quantum computers process information? - study

The Jerusalem Post: How fast can quantum computers process information? - study. https://www.jpost.com/science/article-689720 "In addition to being one of the most powerful computers in the world and currently ranked 105 on the Top500 list, France's Jean Zay supercomputer is now the first HPC to have a photonic coprocessor." "Unlike traditional processors which use electric current, LightOn's photonic coprocessor transmits and processes information using light. The company's photonics coprocessor was added to the Jean Zay supercomputer under a pilot program with GENCI and IDRIS and represents not only a technological breakthrough but also a first for the industry." "So far, LightOn's technology has successfully been used by a community of researchers since 2018. " "Now though, its photonic coprocessor will be available to select users of the Jean Zay research community over the next few months who will use the device to conduct research on machine learning foundations, differential privacy, satellite imaging analysis and natural language processing (NLP) tasks."

So with enemies like Jim Dumbell KGB Russians don't need friends
by professor rat 26 Dec '21

26 Dec '21

Jim Dumbell and his idiotic type of Paultard moron coterie ( Gramps, Coderman, etc ) don't even oppose the one-man-Russian-Troll-Farm operating in plain sight here on this list. Otherwise this circle-of-eunuchs would have joined the deadpool on Batshit Stasi by now. Bounty law would have prevailed. Shows how weak and worthless the NAPPY-headed Austro-Libertarian crowd are. Dumbell puts on a clinic everytime he opens his big mouth these days. Feh.
