Great episode of Tech Won’t Save Us with Gil Duran.

In this episode, Gil deals with why Peter Thiel—the one person on earth most resembling the description of the Antichrist—is so obsessed with describing the Antichrist as Not Him. tl;dr: tech hyper-billionaires know their gig is almost up, and they have to invent ever more hyperbolic scenarios and scapegoats to keep the masses, the defenders of democracy, from throwing all of the billionaire class in prison.

Anyway, fascinating episode. Gil does a good job articulating the situation, and his optimistic conclusion gives me a lot of hope. We live in truly bizarre times. And I do hope the end is coming soon, and the people will rise up to throw these Fascist “accelerationists” in a cell for good.

His assessment adds to the mounting possibility that Comey’s case will be
#dismissed before it goes to trial. In addition to the procedural flaws Fitzpatrick said appeared to occur, #LindseyHalligan is facing a challenge to the validity of her appointment altogether & could be disqualified from the case.

Fitzpatrick raised sharp doubts about an account of the #GrandJury proceedings provided by the #DOJ & whether it had turned over all records of the interactions between #LindseyHalligan & the grand #jurors. He noted that Halligan had claimed she had her last contact with the grand jury at 4:28PM that day, while the jurors were deliberating.

Fitzpatrick’s decision came after he personally reviewed records of the grand jury proceedings that led to Comey’s Sept. 25 indictment on charges that he lied to Congress in 2020. The indictment was signed by #LindseyHalligan, #Trump’s handpicked prosecutor, who was installed by AG #PamBondi when other prosecutors resisted bringing the case against #JamesComey due to lack of evidence.

“The Court recognizes this is an extraordinary remedy,” Fitzpatrick wrote in a 24-page opinion, “but given the factually based challenges the defense has raised to the government’s conduct & the prospect that #government #misconduct may have tainted the grand jury proceedings, disclosure of grand jury materials under these unique circumstances is necessary.”

A federal magistrate judge says “ #government #misconduct” may have tainted the criminal case against fmr #FBI Dir #JamesComey, describing a cascade of errors by lead prosecutor #LindseyHalligan.

The magistrate judge, William Fitzpatrick, ordered prosecutors Monday to quickly turn over records of secret grand jury proceedings to defense attorneys as they seek to dismiss the false-statement & obstruction-of-Congress charges pending against Comey in federal court in Alexandria, VA.

Please be very aware that the emerging capitulation by Senate Democrats over the #republicanShutdown maintains the current plan to eliminate medical care for millions of Americans first in December of this year when the state-administered Affordable Care budgeted programs are set to expire without a renewal action, or right after the midterm elections next fall, when Medicaid itself (whatever it's called in your state) will cease to be funded under the new federal budget. Combined with approved, huge, doubledigit-percentage increases to private healthcare premiums, most Americans and every community will be directly affected, and the national economy isn't likely to collapse; it is certain to do so. Hospitals will be closing. If you're not okay with it then get on the phone now, seriously.

The post came less than an hour before #Trump is set to meet with #China president #Xi Jinping in South Korea on Thursday morning in an effort to come to a trade war truce.

Trump’s missive on Wednesday night also arrived on the heels of him describing Vladimir Putin’s announcement of a #nuclear-powered cruise missile test as “not appropriate”. Trump made those comments after #Putin said that #Russia had successfully tested its “unique” nuclear-capable Burevestnik cruise missile….

Earlier in his post on Wednesday, #Trump also falsely noted that the #US has more #NuclearWeapons than any other country. #Russia currently has the most confirmed nuclear weapons, with >5,500 nuclear warheads while the US has 5,044 nuclear weapons, per the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.

The last nuclear test by the US, codenamed “Divider,” was carried out on 23 Sept 1992 at what is now called the Nevada National Security Site.
