🚨BREAKING: MAJOR CYBERATTACK DISRUPTS HOSPITALS IN MULTIPLE STATES Hospitals and medical services in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Texas, Rhode Island, and California have been forced to close emergency rooms and ambulances have been diverted. Many primary care services remain closed as security experts work to determine the extent of the problem and resolve it. The company affected is Prospect Medical Holdings, which has hospitals and clinics in these states. They have taken their systems offline and are working with third-party cybersecurity specialists to investigate. This is a serious cyberattack that is having a significant impact on patients and healthcare providers. CHINESE MALWARE INFILTRATES U.S MILITARY Many have already pointed the finger at China, who’s responsible for multiple cyberattacks against the US over the past few months. Just 5 days ago, a Chinese “ticking time bomb” malware that is a able to decapitate US military capabilities was discovered. Malware is code that is designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to a computer system. The US intelligence community believe the malware is hidden deep inside networks controlling power grids, communications systems and water supplies. These systems are vital to keeping US bases at home and abroad operational. It is feared that Chinese hackers, presumably working for the People’s Liberation Army, inserted code designed to be triggered if China invades Taiwan and the US decides to join the war. The true scale of the impact from the malware is not yet understood as officials claimed “its impact could be far broader, because that same infrastructure often supplies the houses and businesses of ordinary Americans” “The Biden administration is working relentlessly to defend the United States from any disruptions to our critical infrastructure, including by coordinating interagency efforts to protect water systems, pipelines, rail and aviation systems, among others,” Adam Hodge of the National Security Council said on Friday. MY THOUGHTS While we don’t know if the current cyberattack is linked to China, it’s odd to have it happen only days after the Sunday attack by Chinese hackers. US officials have consistently assessed China as the most advanced of US cyberspace adversaries. The FBI has claimed that China has a larger hacking program than all other governments combined. Last week, the email account of the US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns was hacked, and it is unclear how the US responded beyond an investigation. Actually this kind of stuff is common, and practically every nation does it, but the alleged Chinese malware inserted into US critical infrastructure is a serious escalatory step. The ability to stop the supply of utilities and shut down transport can paralyze the U.S during a major conflict. THE NEXT MAJOR WAR WILL BE A CYBER WAR, and I hope neither China nor the U.S will be involved. DO YOU AGREE??

🚨BREAKING: ANDREW TATE TO BE RELEASED FROM HOUSE ARREST Tate has been released from house arrest in Romania pending trial on charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming an organized crime group. The Bucharest Court of Appeals ruled today that Tate's house arrest would be replaced with judicial control for a period of 60 days. This means that Tate will be allowed to leave his home for work, medical appointments, and other essential activities, but he will be subject to electronic monitoring and other restrictions. Tate was indicted in June along with his brother Tristan and two Romanian female suspects. The Tate brothers are ACCUSED of tricking seven women into sexual exploitation on fake promises of a relationship or marriage. It is ALLEGED that the Tate brothers, along with the two Romanian female suspects, formed the group in 2021 to commit human trafficking in Romania and other countries, including the US and UK. Tate's release from house arrest has been met with mixed reactions. Some have expressed concern that he may be able to flee the country before his trial (difficult considering he is still being monitored), while others believe he is innocent and that the charges against him are politically motivated. Tate's trial is scheduled to begin on October 2. Ultimately, the outcome of Tate's trial will depend on the evidence presented in court. However, his release from house arrest is a significant positive development in the case. DO YOU TRUST THE ROMANIAN LEGAL SYSTEM??

🚨BREAKING NEW POLL: ALMOST HALF OF REPUBLICANS WOULD ABANDON TRUMP IF HE'S CONVICTED A NEW Ipsos poll found that 45% of Republicans would not vote for Trump if he is CONVICTED of a felony crime by a jury. This HAS MASSIVE implications, as it suggests that Trump's legal problems could pose a serious threat to his 2024 presidential bid. Trump has been very resilient and he may be able to overcome his legal problems. However, the new poll suggests that he could have a much more difficult time winning in 2024 despite the current lead in the polls. The new poll also has implications for the Republican Party. If Trump is convicted of a felony, it could lead to a split in the party, with some Republicans supporting him and others abandoning him. This could make it difficult for the party to unite behind a single candidate in 2024, adding to the increasingly polarized political landscape. To be honest though, this new poll surprised me as the recent indictments seemed to improve Trump’s polling, as they added fuel to the concerns many have of a political witch-hunt against Trump. DO YOU AGREE?

🚨BREAKING: GOP NOMINEE VIVEK RAMASWAMY MAKES FOIA AGAINST DOJ REGARDING TRUMP INDICTMENTS Vivek Ramaswamy has filed a FOIA request against the DOJ. He did so at the court where Trump is to be arraigned today. Ramaswamy said he filed a FOIA request "to understand what President Biden told Jack Smith" that led to three indictments of Trump just before the Presidential elections. PARDON FOR TRUMP Ramaswamy, a rival of Trump in the GOP presidential nominations, was quick to reaffirm that he would “pardon the former president of the United States from what is clearly a politicized prosecution” if he is found guilty. I remember Vivek joining our space after Trump's first indictment, vocally upset of what he considered a political witch-hunt. Is Vivek Trying To Appeal to Trump Supporters Or Does He Really Believe Trump's Indictment Is Politically Motivated?

🚨 BREAKING: ARCHER’S TESTIMONY AGAINST THE BIDENS Devon Archer testified regarding his ex-business partner Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, behind closed doors before the House Oversight Committee. DEMOCRAT REP. DAN GOLDMAN'S NARRATIVE Goldman stated that there is no evidence connecting Hunter Biden's business dealings to President Biden. He argued that conversations involving Joe Biden were focused on niceties, not specific business matters. THE REPUBLICAN REPS' NARRATIVE Rep. Jim Jordan described the meeting as "very productive" and hinted at discussing revelations with Chairman Rep. James Cromer. According to leaked information, Archer mentioned that Joe Biden was put on the phone to sell "the brand," implying it was the reason Hunter was retained on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company. Rep. Marjorie Greene reported that Archer recalled over 20 conversations between Hunter and Joe Biden, which were supposedly about their business deals. MY THOUGHTS Personally, I'd love to have a copy of the transcript to verify what was said. It is concerning that two sets of politicians draw such different conclusions from the SAME HEARING, potentially affecting the public's trust in the House Oversight Committee's impartiality. While there is only 1 TRUTH and DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS, it seems in the U.S, the political polarization has led to MANY TRUTHS and EVEN MORE INTERPRETATIONS. DO YOU THINK THERE IS ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO IMPEACH JOE BIDEN? Do you think that the Bidens should be investigate by the Department Of Justice?

🚨BREAKING: SEC CHARGES FLAMBOYANT HEX FOUNDER RICHARD HEART FOR MISAPPROPRIATING MILLIONS IN $1 BILLION CRYPTO RAISE The SEC has charged Richard Heart, the founder of one of Crypto's most controversial projects and the owner of a plethora of luxury goods, including the world's biggest diamond. BREAKDOWN OF CHARGES: 1) Conducting unregistered crypto asset security offerings The offering raised more than $1 billion in crypto assets from investors. Heart attempted to evade securities laws by asking investors to “sacrifice” crypto assets, instead of "invest" in exchange for PLS and PLSX tokens. 2) Misappropriation of funds The value of the misappropriation is approximately $12 million, the SEC stated. Heart allegedly called on investors to buy crypto asset securities in offerings that he failed to register. He then defrauded those investors by spending some of their crypto assets on exorbitant luxury goods, including sports cars, watches, and a 555-carat black diamond known as ‘The Enigma’. 3) Fraud in connection with the sale of the security The SEC claim Heart used a strategy known as “recycling” transactions, that enabled Heart to surreptitiously gain control of more Hex tokens. Heart and his co-conspirators had given the false impression of significant trading volumes and demand for Hex by using their own funds. The SEC estimates up to 97% of the investment volume was Heart and his accomplices’ funds. WHAT'S NEXT: The SEC is seeking injunctive relief, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains plus prejudgment interest, penalties, and other equitable relief. As you probably know by now, the SEC has a very high success rate in winning cases or reaching a settlement when they file charges. At the same time, unregistered token offerings have a history of settling with the SEC for a small amount of money. Remember the EOS settlement with the SEC of $24 million when they raised OVER $4 BILLION IN THEIR ICO? It's important to note that these SEC charges are all civil charges. The SEC cannot file criminal charges. Will the DOJ be next in filing criminal charges? WHAT’S YOUR OPINION OF HEX AND SEC ENFORCEMENT AGAINST CRYPTO?

🚨BREAKING: RUSSIA’S MEDVEDEV THREATENS USE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS IF UKRAINIAN COUNTER-OFFENSIVE SUCCEEDS Deputy Chairman of Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev stated that Russia COULD use nuclear weapons against Ukraine if the counter-offensive was a success. "Imagine if the.. offensive, which is backed by NATO, was a success and they tore off a part of our land then we would be forced to use a nuclear weapon according to the rules of a decree from the president of Russia.” The hawkish politician was referring to Russia's nuclear doctrine which allows for nuclear weapons to be deployed if the existence of the Russian state is threatened, even if the enemy only uses conventional weapons He added “there would simply be no other option. So our enemies should pray for our warriors' (success). They are making sure that a global nuclear fire is not ignited" CLEAREST THREAT TO DATE On February 24, 2022, Putin warned that any country that interferes with Russia's "special military operation" in Ukraine would face "consequences that you have never seen in history." Many interpreted this as Putin implying the use of nuclear weapons though Putin never used those words. As we can see, despite the massive NATO military support to Ukraine, Russia has not resorted to any nuclear weapons to date. In March, 2022, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Russia would use nuclear weapons if it felt its "vital interests" were under threat. Again there was no clear cut indication that Russia meant it would use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. On April 20, 2022, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister stated that “if Russia is forced to defend its territorial integrity, it will use all necessary means to do so, including nuclear weapons.” This is seen by many as a direct threat against Ukraine. Today’s statement by Medvedev, however, is the clearest direct threat by a Russian politician regarding the use of Nuclear Weapons against Ukraine. BLUFF? A UK intelligence briefing focused on Russian rhetoric established that there was no threat of using nuclear weapons. Instead, the report found that Russia wanted to have the effect of frightening the West with the goal of reducing NATO's military support to Ukraine. IS RUSSIA BLUFFING? CAN WE RISK FINDING OUT?

🚨BREAKING: DOJ ATTEMPTS TO JAIL BIDEN WITNESS 1 DAY BEFORE TESTIMONY The DOJ is trying to arrest Devon Archer ahead of his bombshell testimony TOMORROW about Joe Biden's involvement in his son Hunter Biden's Ukraine business when he was VP. US Attorney in the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, issued a letter yesterday telling Judge Abrams to order Archer to go to jail immediately to serve a one-year sentence for his fraud conviction. CROMER ASKS WHY NOW? "The letter from the Department of Justice is trying to nudge the judge to go ahead and sentence Devin Archer for something unrelated to what we're gonna be talking to him about tomorrow," Rep. Comer said. "It's odd that it was issued on a Saturday, and it's odd that it's right before he's scheduled to come in to speak in front of the House Oversight Committee and tell the American people the truth about what really went on with Burisma." WHAT ARCHER IS EXPECTED TO TESTIFY ABOUT Archer is expected to tell lawmakers that Biden met with dozens of Hunter's business associates while he was serving as vice president between 2009 and 2017. Archer is expected to detail the meetings he witnessed that both Bidens attended—either in person or via telephone. Archer will reportedly testify that Hunter would specifically introduce his father to foreign business partners or prospective investors. IS BIDEN BEHIND THIS?

🚨BREAKING: KANYE WEST / YE UNBANNED, THEN BANNED AGAIN, THEN UNBANNED WITHIN HOURS After a 7-month ban for antisemitic remarks, Ye (Kanye West) made a triumphant return to 𝕏/Twitter. However he was swiftly BANNED 2 HOURS LATER, then UNBANNED AGAIN after 1 HOUR. In the meantime, Elon tweets “something special coming soon” and less than 30 minutes ago, then tweeted a meme showing a paradise-like world with dolphins, rainbows and love hearts with the quote: “How it feels to spend misinformation”. Go figure what he means 😂 Any guesses? WHAT HAPPENED WITH YE? On December 1, 2022, just one day before his suspension, Ye sent shockwaves through the online community by sharing a disturbing image on his Twitter account. The picture depicted a Nazi Swastika boldly superimposed into the sacred Jewish Star of David, sparking widespread controversy. The next day, Twitter took decisive action by suspending Ye's account. @ElonMusk himself confirmed the account ban. The reason cited was "incitement to violence." This came hot on the heels of the rapper's controversial antisemitic remarks that had already cost him numerous lucrative business deals just months prior. “I tried my best,” Elon wrote in response to someone who told him to “fix” Ye. “Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended,” he added. TIMELINE OF YE'S TWITTER ACCOUNT First banned on October 9, 2022 Ye was first officially banned from Twitter after a series of anti-Semitic comments in October. He was finally booted off the platform after saying he was going “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE”. Reinstated on November 21, 2022 A month and a half later, Ye became one of the high-profile accounts returned to the platform after the company was bought by Elon Musk. He would be on the site for less than two weeks before being kicked off again. Banned on December 2, 2022 This time for sharing a picture depicted a Nazi Swastika boldly superimposed into the sacred Jewish Star of David. Reinstated Today No idea why 😂 CELEBRITIES REACT: - DIANNE WARREN: "Kanye West should be banned from Twitter for life. His anti-Semitic posts are vile and dangerous." - 50 CENT: "Kanye is a genius, and he's entitled to his own opinions. I don't agree with everything he says, but I don't think he should be silenced." - JAMIE LEE CURTIS: "I'm glad Twitter took action against Kanye's anti-Semitic posts. Hate speech has no place on any platform." - T.I.: "I don't agree with Kanye's comments, but I don't think he should be banned from Twitter. He's a free thinker, and he should be allowed to express his thoughts, even if they're controversial." - TREVOR NOAH: "Kanye West's Twitter ban is a good thing, but it's also a reminder that we need to do more to address the root causes of anti-Semitism. We need to teach people about the dangers of hate speech, and we need to create a society where everyone feels safe and respected." - NICK CANNON: "Kanye is a voice for the voiceless, and he's not afraid to speak his mind. I respect him for that, even if I don't agree with everything he says." CONTROVERSY OF OTHER SUSPENDED ACCOUNTS Critics had been demanding the reinstatement of both Ye and Nick Fuentes, an American far-right white supremacist, on the platform. The argument put forth is that since Musk claims to be a free speech absolutist, he ought to permit unrestricted expression, within legal boundaries, for anyone on the platform. On the other hand, Elon’s 𝕏 is already miles ahead of other platforms when it comes to free speech, and has already lost advertisers in the fight against censorship. Free speech absolutism cannot function in today’s society. Do you support the idea of reinstating someone regardless of the content of their speech or actions? WHAT SHOULD AND SHOULDN’T BE CENSORED?

🚨BREAKING: 𝕏 ACHIEVES RECORD NUMBERS | USERS MORE THAN DOUBLE IN 12 MONTHS | WHAT’S NEXT? Today @elonmusk posted that 𝕏 monthly users reached a ‘new high’ in 2023. The number of users peaked this month at 541.6 million. That's a MASSIVE INCREASE compared to the 237.8 million users same time last year, of which 20% were bots. When adjusted for the bots, this is a remarkable 150-250% increase! In fact, 𝕏 has been combating the issue of bots with Musk confirming his number of 541.6 million users "is after removal of a vast number of bots” Meanwhile, 𝕏 has experienced an increase in platform usage of 3.6% week-over-week earlier this month. The metrics have been improving in all aspects, including hate speech, as demonstrated in a report shared by CEO @lindayacc: Independent AI-powered Sprinklr estimated daily English-language hate speech to be 0.003% of all impressions compared to Twitter’s estimate of 0.012% for the period of January 1, 2023 to May 31, 2023. Additionally, hate speech impressions were 30% lower than before Musk took over, which is OPPOSITE to what the media has been portraying! Today, 𝕏 also announced that “Ads Revenue Sharing is now live for eligible creators globally.” FUTURE OF X It’s been a great year for 𝕏 - the soon to be the EVERYTHING APP. Here’s what more we can expect: 𝕏 will be the creators’ income generator: This is achieved through ad share and other monetization strategies, including as stickers and space/video monetization. 𝕏 will be your one stop financial app: You'll easily manage your finances, whether it's Crypto, banking or ANY financial transaction. 𝕏 will be the EVERYTHING MARKET: Shopping, trading, hiring, and all services in one platform 𝕏 will be an ENTERTAINMENT suite: Gaming, streaming and recreational features 𝕏 will be shaped by YOU, the user, as 𝕏.AI is integrated THE DEATH OF META’S TWITTER CLONE I predicted the death of Meta’s clone back when it was launched, despite the media hype, and the result is a MUCH FASTER DEATH than I ever expected. The stats demonstrated how bad things were when Daily Active Users collapsed in the FIRST WEEK by 38%. The other important metric of Mean Daily Usage dropped in the first 4 days by a shocking 75%! As I tweeted on its demise, the media had fallen silent. So much for a Twitter killer… Meta's app died a premature death. RIP. MY THOUGHTS The media mocked Elon’s strategies, claimed time and time again that Twitter was dead, and ignored all the indicators showing 𝕏 exceed expectations faster than anyone expected. And as META launched a failed clone, 𝕏 innovated and rebranded, getting us closer to the FREE SPEECH EVERYTHING APP Do you agree with my analysis? ARE ELON’S STRATEGIES WORKING?

🚨BREAKING: PROSECUTORS DROP CAMPAIGN FINANCE CHARGE AGAINST FTX’S SAM BANKMAN-FRIED Federal prosecutors are dropping the charge that SBF violated campaign finance rules. SBF was charged with fraud and campaign finance violations after the sudden collapse of FTX, a crypto exchange. He was extradited from the Bahamas to face trial in a US federal court. However, officials in the Bahamas informed the government that they did not extradite SBF on the campaign finance charge. Late last night, the prosecutors filed to drop the charge, claiming that "in keeping with its treaty obligations to the Bahamas, the government does not intend to proceed to trial on the campaign contributions count." The accusations against SBF were that he was behind $90 million in campaign contributions to some 300 political candidates or political action committees. OTHER CHARGES REMAIN SBF is now facing seven charges in October relating to fraud. These include defrauding customers and lenders of FTX. It is alleged that SBF siphoned billions of dollars that customers had deposited with FTX. Other charges may yet result in an additional trial, but complications arise from litigation in the Bahamas over the extradition, which must be concluded before the US government can proceed. If convicted on the securities fraud and wire fraud charges, SBF faces the prospect of being sentenced to dozens of years in prison. We will keep you updated on the case as it unfolds. ARE SBF’S POLITICAL CONNECTIONS HELPING HIM AVOID PROSECUTION? OR WILL HE BE JAILED FOR A LONG TIME?
