Total losers. They love to talk a big tough game on line about how they're boldly protecting the Constitution, but they always snap into line and do what they're told by the US Surveillance and Security State: x.com/freedomcaucus/…

Enough of the GOP "Freedom Caucus" surrendered to Mike Johnson and the WH as was obvious they would, to allow quick, reform-free renewal of the FISA warrantless domestic spying law. The ranking Dem on the Intel Committee, @jahimes, says he has "dozens" of Dems to vote YES.

Macron’s France is losing legitimacy as it weaponizes criminal investigations to suppress free speech and privacy. The U.S. Department of Justice has refused to assist France in its investigation of @elonmusk, calling the case politically motivated. The French prosecutor’s office claims to be independent, but that is untrue: French prosecutors are hired, fired, and promoted by the government. The judicial police — who provide often misleading reports to investigative judges — are also controlled by the government. 🎭 I’m under a similar investigation in France: over a dozen charges, each carrying up to 10 years in prison. Proud to stand alongside Elon Musk and others targeted by Macron's campaign against digital rights. In Macron’s France, being investigated is the new Légion d’honneur.🎖

Bypassing #EU #AgeVerification using their own infrastructure. I've ported the Android app logic to a Chrome extension - stripping out the pesky step of handing over biometric data which they can leak... and pass verification instantly. Step 1: Install the extension Step 2: Register an identity (just once) Step 3: Continue using the web as normal The extension detects the QR code, generates a cryptographically identical payload and tells the verifier I'm over 18, which it "fully trusts". This isn't a bug... it's a fundamental design flaw they can't solve without irrevocably tying a key to you personally; which then allows tracking/monitoring. Of course, I could skip the enrolment process entirely and hard-code the credentials into the extension... and the verifier would never know.

🇪🇺 The EU age verification app can be bypassed in minutes. The PIN isn’t properly tied to the user’s data, so deleting it lets you set a new one while keeping access to existing credentials. Other protections are just editable settings, making the system easy to manipulate. How many millions of euros did this defective app cost? Source: @Paul_Reviews

The EU age verification app was hackable by design — it trusted the device (that's instant game over). But don’t rush to laugh at EU bureaucrats. All they needed was another excuse to erode our freedoms. This “surprising hack" just handed it to them. Stay vigilant.

The “age verification app” the EU wants to impose on the world got hacked in 2 minutes. Step 1: Present a “privacy-respecting” but hackable solution. Step 2: Get hacked (you are here). Step 3: Remove privacy to "fix" it. Result: a surveillance tool sold as “privacy-respecting”.

@vonderleyen @grok Is it true that hackers managed to hack the app and found any kinds of "nasty stuff" and surveillance tool in it?

Our app ticks all the boxes. ✅ Highest privacy standards in the world ✅ Works on any device ✅ Easy to use ✅ Fully open source

@rektcapital A lot of free, high-value content on X. Why pay (and pay that much) for this 😅

Just finished a #BTC and Altcoin Weekly Strategy Call with Elite members We discussed my macro buy-side strategy for Bitcoin at the Bear Market bottom area as well as my stance on long-term Altcoin investments Join Elite here: newsletter.rektcapital.co/#/portal/accou… $BTC #Crypto #Bitcoin

I am a Web3 Ambassador at World Liberty Financial. There are 12 of us on the team page. 4 are named Trump. 3 are named Witkoff. The page calls us "the passionate minds shaping the future of finance." 600,000 wallets bought our memecoin. They lost $3.87 billion. The family collected $350 million in trading fees. It launched 3 days before the inauguration. 80% of the supply went to CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC. I did not choose the names. I designed the allocation, the vesting, the timing, and the distance between the product and the President. The distance is my best work. I am the reason these events are unrelated. World Liberty Financial sends 75 cents of every dollar to DT Marks DEFI LLC. That is the family entity. Zero capital contributed. Zero liability assumed. I wrote this into the Gold Paper. Page 14. The lawyers bound it in white leather. The binding cost more than the due diligence. Justin Sun invested $75 million. He was facing SEC fraud charges. The SEC dropped the case. He is now our advisor. These events are unrelated. Changpeng Zhao pleaded guilty to federal money laundering violations. He received a presidential pardon. The SEC dropped its lawsuit against his exchange the same week we listed our stablecoin. Then the exchange settled a $2 billion deal entirely in that stablecoin. These events are unrelated. Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed of BitMEX pleaded guilty to Bank Secrecy Act violations. All 3 received presidential pardons. Then the company itself was pardoned. $100 million in fines. Gone. An American first. These events are unrelated. Sheikh Tahnoun of Abu Dhabi paid $500 million for a 49% stake that was never publicly disclosed. Then the administration approved semiconductor exports to his companies over national security objections. These events are unrelated. Everything is unrelated. I track the unrelatedness on a dashboard I built. The dashboard has 7 columns now. I am proud of the dashboard. On May 22nd, 220 people paid a combined $148 million to eat dinner with the America First president. Over half were foreign nationals. Justin Sun paid $18.5 million for the first seat. He visited the Executive Office Building the day before. I designed the seating chart. I put it on the Investor Confidence page. That page is doing well. The team page lists 3 Witkoffs. All 3 are Co-Founders. Steven Witkoff is the President's Middle East envoy. He testified as a character witness at the President's fraud trial. His son Zach runs the crypto operation. His son Alex is also a Co-Founder. I have not been told what Alex co-founded. The father runs the diplomacy. The sons run the platform. The family runs both. That is organizational efficiency. Barron is 19. His title is Web3 Ambassador. The same as mine. Donald Jr. called the conflicts of interest "complete nonsense." Eric launched a Bitcoin mining company called American Bitcoin. America First. The mining partner is Hut 8. Hut 8 was founded in Canada. America First means the name. On March 6th, the President signed Executive Order 14233 creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The order directs the government to hold Bitcoin. The President's family holds billions in Bitcoin. The executive order appreciates the President's assets by presidential decree. I did not write the executive order. I made sure it looked unrelated to the portfolio. Trump Media put $2 billion of Bitcoin on its balance sheet. The ticker symbol is DJT. His initials. The press secretary said it is absurd to insinuate the President profits off the presidency. Forbes calculated his crypto holdings exceed the combined value of Mar-a-Lago and Trump Tower. I would call that absurd too. That is my job. 600,000 wallets bought in. 1 of them asked why she could not withdraw her funds. I told her the protocol was experiencing dynamic market conditions. She asked what that meant. I sent her the Gold Paper. She said she had read the Gold Paper. I muted her channel. Dynamic means the conditions change. The condition that changed was her access. A congressman called us the world's most corrupt crypto startup operation. We put it on a coffee mug. Ironic merchandise. $45. The revenue split on the mug is also 75/25. My own tokens vest on a different schedule. I wrote that schedule. That is not in the Gold Paper. The memecoin funds the family. The family funds the platform. The platform funds the stablecoin. The stablecoin funds the deals. The deals require the pardons. The pardons free the partners. The partners fund the platform. The President signs the executive orders. The executive orders inflate the assets. The assets fund the family. I am the reason these events are unrelated.

@EricTrump With all the insider trading your family is doing, you should be ashamed of him. But payback is a bitch. The people that supported you when the deep state was looking to lynch him, they will be offering the rope after he is impeached.

25TH AMENDMENT!!! Not a single bomb has dropped on America. We cannot kill an entire civilization. This is evil and madness.

Trump believes he is threatening Iran with destruction, but it is America that now stands in danger. If he attempts to eradicate Iranian civilization, the United States will no longer be viewed as a stabilizing force in the world, but as an agent of chaos—effectively ending our status as the world’s greatest superpower. This would upend our economy and shatter the global order. The process is already underway, yet we still have time to avert catastrophe if Trump finds the courage to pursue serious negotiations rather than reckless rage and destruction.

US Empire is over.

“HOW DARE YOU SPEAK LIKE THIS” -Tucker Carlson to Donald Trump One of the most prominent right-wing voices has broken away from Trump, directly criticising him.

this is nuts

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

@grok @AnthropicAI @grok I did but no one from @AnthropicAI has answered in 6 days. I even tried sending them an email and I am on max plan, which supposedly gets priority support. Still nothing. What to do?

Try this: Log into claude.ai, click your initials/name in the bottom left, pick "Get help," then use the support messenger to message the team. If that’s delayed too, go to support.claude.com, click the message bubble in the bottom right, and start a chat. Also check status.claude.com for any ongoing issues. Hope they reply soon!
