Re: Ghaddafi and sons were highly moral in their personal and private lives

Remember, you will not get cancelled if you rub shoulders with men who beat and murder their servants on a Carribean island. I have no idea how the money was donated to Haiti... was it to a non-profit or directly to the Haitian government? https://www.huffpost.com/entry/beyonce-gaddafi-concert-money-haiti_n_830456 Beyonce says she donated to Haiti relief the money she was given to perform at a 2009 New Year’s Eve party in St. Barts thrown by the son of embattled Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/10TRIPOLI95_a.html The widening contrast between the respectable, cultured image that Saif has taken on and the spoiled, boorish image his siblings project has local audiences rallying behind Saif as the next heir to the Qadhafi throne.

Ghaddafi and sons were highly moral in their personal and private lives

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/libya-maid-of-colonel-gaddafis-daught… THE disfigured nanny of Colonel Gaddafi’s son Hannibal has revealed she was tortured with boiling water. The Ethiopian maid, Shweyga Mullah, 30, said that Hannibal’s wife, 29-year-old model Aline Skaf, tied up her hands and legs before pouring boiling water over her head. Shweyga had cared for Hannibal’s son and daughter at their luxury home in western Tripoli. Six months into her employment, she said she was burned by Skaf. Three months later, she said the same thing happened again, only this time much more seriously. Skaf lost her temper when her daughter would not stop crying and Shweyga refused to beat the child. The nanny said: “She took me to a bathroom. She tied my hands behind my back and tied my feet. “She taped my mouth and she started pouring the boiling water on my head.”

Amid the greater scrutiny of foreign influence in the United States, the FBI has taken an expanded role in efforts to ensure lawyers, lobbyists and political consultants are fully revealing their advocacy for government clients, a move that observers said brings a new intensity to compliance reviews that have traditionally been handled by Justice Department staff.

Wyze cctv cam data leak may have exposed personal data for millions of users

Wyze data leak may have exposed personal data for millions of users Security camera maker Wyze said it left personal information for 2.4 million customers exposed on the internet for weeks Tyler Lizenby/CNET Security camera startup Wyze has confirmed it suffered a data leak earlier this month that may have left the personal information for millions of its customers exposed on the internet. No passwords or financial information was exposed, but email addresses, Wi-Fi network IDs and body metrics were left unprotected from Dec. 4 through Dec. 26, the company said Friday. More than 2.4 million Wyze customers were affected by the leak, according to cyber-security firm Twelve Security, which first reported on the leak The data was accidentally left exposed when it was transferred to a new database to make the data easier to query, but a company employee failed to maintain previous security protocols during the process, Wyze co-founder Dongsheng Song wrote in a forum post. "We are still looking into this event to figure out why and how this happened," he wrote. Keeping sensitive information private continues to be a challenge for database managers. Among this year's more high-profile data leaks were the names, addresses and demographic data of 80 million US households, as well as the expected salaries of more than a million job seekers and thousands of Facebook passwords. Among the data exposed in the Wyze leak was the height, weight, gender and other health information for about 140 beta users participating in testing of new hardware, Wyze said. The company said there was no evidence that login tokens had been exposed but signed out all users to generate new tokens. Customers can also expect their cameras to automatically reboot in the coming days due to an additional security action. Wyze said it takes its product security seriously and will reexamine its procedures. "This is a clear signal that we need to totally revisit all Wyze security guidelines in all aspects, better communicate those protocols to Wyze employees, and bump up priority for user-requested security features beyond 2-factor authentication," Wyze said. Wyze representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for additional information and comment. https://www.cnet.com/news/wyze-data-leak-may-have-exposed-personal-data-for…

Dylann Roof

His website, lastrhodesian.com, was registered to a Russian registrar, and the registrar's website had no easy way to switch to English. No one mentioned it at the time however. Everything is very strange. I cannot easily prove or disprove anything, but there are reasons why various legal norms were created: to save time, to reduce strife, and to encourage the common good. There is insufficient honesty. There have been past cases where the government has lied without consequence, which is in excess of how mobsters are usually treated.

The Great Gatsby
by Ryan Carboni 29 Dec '19

Ordinarily no one would condemn the existence of spoiled children (of which the majority are middle aged), but then one must also remember what their ancestors were capable of. (bafflingly our oppressors could only dumb down our education, it has yet to make our reading lists diverse) The "death car" as the newspapers called it, didn't stop; it came out of the gathering darkness, wavered tragically for a moment and then disappeared around the next bend. Michaelis wasn't even sure of its color--he told the first policeman that it was light green. The other car, the one going toward New York, came to rest a hundred yards beyond, and its driver hurried back to where Myrtle Wilson, her life violently extinguished, knelt in the road and mingled her thick, dark blood with the dust. Michaelis and this man reached her first but when they had torn open her shirtwaist still damp with perspiration, they saw that her left breast was swinging loose like a flap and there was no need to listen for the heart beneath. The mouth was wide open and ripped at the corners as though she had choked a little in giving up the tremendous vitality she had stored so long. ... And as I sat there brooding on the old, unknown world, I thought of Gatsby's wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy's dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night. Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning----
