This time in Poland. The USA is firmly on the path of Fascism on so many levels, and it’s all to feed USA MAGA with false information. The winner of all bottom-of-the-barrel ambassadors is, of course, Pete Hoekstra, who has managed to insult both his Canadian ánd Dutch guest countries. https://www.thedailyscrumnews.com/recall-u-s-ambassador-pete-hoekstra-its-time-for-him-to-leave-canada/

In its most recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Palantir says that increased regulation of immigration may impact the company’s ability to hire the talent it needs. At the same time, Palantir provides the technological infrastructure for the Trump administration’s mass deportation mission.

As 404 Media has shown, Palantir considers Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) a “mature” partner, and is working on a tool called ELITE that ICE uses to find neighborhoods to raid.

“Further, if we are not able to recruit, hire, or retain the talent we need because of increased regulation of immigration or work visas, including limitations placed on the number of visas granted, changes to application processes or fees, limitations on the type of work performed or location in which the work can be performed, and new or higher minimum salary requirements, it could be more difficult to staff our personnel on customer engagements and could increase our costs,” Palantir’s latest 10-K, filed on Tuesday, reads. A 10-K is an annual report public companies are required to produce.

“Additionally, laws and regulations, such as restrictive immigration laws, may limit our ability to recruit outside of the United States. We seek to retain and motivate existing personnel through our compensation practices, company culture, and career development opportunities. If we fail to attract new personnel or to retain our current personnel, our business and operations could be harmed,” the filing continues.

The Israeli government installed security equipment and controlled access to a Manhattan apartment building managed by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to a set of emails recently released by the Department of Justice. The equipment was installed starting in early 2016 at 301 E. 66th Street—the residence where former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak frequently stayed for stretches at a time.

Rafi Shlomo, then-director of protective service at the Israeli mission to the United Nations in New York and head of Barak’s security, corresponded with Epstein employees to arrange meetings to discuss security and coordinate installation of specialized surveillance equipment at the 66th Street residence. Shlomo personally controlled access to the apartment for guests and even conducted background checks on cleaners and Epstein’s employees.

85-page report: Farmers Have no Freedom: Abuse and Exploitation of Cotton and Wheat Farmers in UzbekistanPDF.

  • The Uzbek government is violating the human and labor rights of cotton and wheat farmers through a coercive state production system, including penalties such as land seizure for not meeting quotas.
  • Though the government has ended state-imposed forced labor of cotton pickers in the cotton harvest and has committed to broader reforms, the remaining system of strategic crop cultivation and production in Uzbekistan still creates a risk of forced labor for cotton and wheat farmers.
  • The government should ensure compliance with recent laws and decrees that offer farmers better rights protections, end the quota system, and engage farmers in policy discussions around agricultural reforms.

The pertinent question to me is how many modern tanks and actually trained tank crews does russia have? Certainly they have been holding back some production in a stockpiling process but is it enough? Has russia even solved the critical vulnerabilities exposed about its main battle tanks?

I think in order to domestically sell admitting defeat and backing down from attacking Ukraina, russia will have to find another target to attack and try to beat up as a distraction, what is unclear is whether it will be a competent military operation that experiences any degree of enduring success or just a pathetic distraction from an even larger pathetic failing.

It’s important to remember that Meta has hidden behind Section 230 for so long that people like Mark Zuckerberg thought they were bulletproof. Meta’s team of attorneys bet on the fact that these documents would never see the light of day because a product liability case would never make it to trial, and they guessed wrong,” said Sacha Haworth, Executive Director of The Tech Oversight Project. “Never-before-seen documents prove that Zuckerberg lied to Congress. We know that they will lie, bury research, and continue recklessly harming young people until Congress forces them to clean up their act. The only way to outlaw Meta’s dangerous and egregious behavior is to pass legislation, like the Kids Online Safety Act, which will hold their feet to the fire and force them to protect children and teens.

Alpha School, an “AI-powered private school” that heavily relies on AI to teach students and can cost up to $65,000 a year, is AI-generating faulty lesson plans that internal company documentation find sometimes do “more harm than good,” and scraping data from a variety of other online courses without permission to train its own AI, according to former Alpha School employees and internal company documents.
