Over 100,000 protest in Belgrade at an anti-government rally.
More than 100,000 protesters converged in Serbia's capital Belgrade on Saturday in what was likely the largest in a series of anti-corruption demonstrations that have upended the Balkan country in recent months.
Chinese crypto scammer #JustinSun put tens of millions of dollars in Trump's pocket weeks before the government dropped all charges against him.

Massive #protests against #corruption, #kleptocracy and #russian interference today in #Belgrad, #Budapest and #Bucharest.
#Europe is waking up!
Large crowds converge in Serbia's capital for a protest against corruption.
Tens of thousands of people converged to protest against President Aleksandar Vučić and his government, in what was expected to be the largest demonstration in a movement that started four months ago.
Recently, a bloc of self-proclaimed conservative reformers invoked the Sharpstown debacle in their crusade to take down the speaker of the house and root out an alleged cabal of corrupted “RINOs” who they claim have conspired with lobbyists and #Democrats to control the chamber. https://www.texasobserver.org/ethics-reform-texas-house-legislature/
surprise, surprise: Trump gave #DavidSacks (pro #Putin, anti-#Ukraine All In Podcast broligarch and America's "crypto & AI czar") a waiver on any and all financial conflicts of interest that could result from Sacks using taxpayer money to enrich himself by investing in his crypto & AI scams.
(i will note that Sacks claims to have divested himself of his crypto investments but i find it impossible to believe he isn't at least indirectly financially exposed to the crypto market)
Remember, it was Sacks who helped propose the #StrategicCryptoReserve which proposed that US taxpayers invest in the same 5 cryptocurrencies held by Sacks's company #Bitwise.

True Russian inflation is over 20% per year (correlate with interest rate), and the amount of rubles in circulation has roughly doubled during the war (Russia is printing money).
So the value of the ruble has halved, but Forex exchange rates have only dropped around 15%.
So then Russia is not using Rubles to trade.
I suspect Russia is trading with Bitcoin (Russia used little gold).
Connecting the dots ... Trump just created a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

Trump family in discussions to take an ownership stake in #Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange and the recipient of the largest #moneylaundering fine in American history - $4.3 billion - after they admitted (just last year!) to having laundered money for all kinds of terrorist groups, #ransomware gangs, and pedophile rings.
The CEO #CZ went to prison (only for 3 months - lol) for all that money laundering and he now wants a pardon.
Oh, BTW, #TrumpCoin trades on Binance. In fact Binance is the largest market for #TRUMP on most days.
I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

Great interview on @CryptoCriticPod with a former SEC official about what went wrong w/crypto enforcement. My favourite quote:
> “Crypto is a machine where fraud and money laundering go in one side and campaign contributions come out the other end.”
He also makes an important point about how crypto scams functionally DDoS'ed America's regulators.
> "Having 15,000 nationally available non-compliant securities [that want to litigate every step of the way] issued [within such a short time span] is not something that’s ever happened before."
Imagine President Obama turning the White House into an Apple store or President Biden turning it into a Microsoft data warehouse... Never in my life have I seen such a level of corruption and disrespect for the American people, for the world, for the highest office in any Democratic nation.
Speaking of waste and fraud and abuse, why is SpaceX being allowed to launch one faulty rocket after another?
The environmental impact is colossal.
All that debris is causing airports to be shut down.
People and private property are at risk.
If anything, shut down SpaceX !!

No less than 76 #Democrats just voted with Republicans to overturn the #IRS's "defi broker rule" which would have required crypto firms like #MarcAndreessen's #Uniswap to collect information on their users and in so doing discourage the use of these platforms for #moneylaundering by criminals and rogue nuclear states (#NorthKorea *loves* Uniswap) and by the very wealthy to avoid paying #taxes.
The new wave of #memecoin scams like #TrumpCoin are also all facilitated/perpetrated by these decentralized trading platforms.
If any of these people are your representative you should do what you can to make sure they are primaried because they are not representing your interests. At a minimum call them and yell at them (this works better than most people think!)
The corruption of the US government by #crypto bros is extremely bipartisan.

"A lawyer who had full security clearances for nearly 30 years and a long history of representing whistleblowers of every political stripe — including the one who in 2019 revealed that President Donald Trump had called Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy for political dirt on Joe Biden — was among the people who had their security clearances revoked on Monday.
"The Trump administration has been pushing to revoke security clearances for a number of officials who once worked under Biden.
"The Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard — who has faced accusations that she is herself a Russian asset— posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday to announce that Mark Zaid’s security clearance had been revoked.
"She said she had also revoked security clearances, at Trump’s direction, from former national security adviser Jake Sullivan, former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco and former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, as well as people who had once prosecuted Trump for various civil and criminal offenses, including New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
"...Just last month Trump revoked Biden’s security clearance. In an executive order signed last week, he stripped clearances from Perkins Coie, a law firm that worked with Democrats during the 2016 election. A month earlier, Trump stripped clearances for another law firm, Covington & Burling, which had done pro-bono work for former special counsel Jack Smith."

Our top story: “One thing that is abundantly clear is that #border enforcement, and in particular the construction of detention facilities ... is big business. It’s a huge business. It’s incredibly lucrative for a very small number of people who have every incentive to make this system as big and as bloated as possible.” https://www.texasobserver.org/abbott-operation-lone-star-contractors-bonanza/
