You had to be blind, deaf, dumb, and at a minimum half retarded to not see this coming. Karma is a bitch and you can't say I didn't warn you. God help us all

Last night, my lawyers moved to sanction World Liberty Financial @worldlibertyfi for failing to disclose, until months into my litigation against the company, that it is a citizen of the UAE 🇦🇪 . #WLFI #USD1 For those who are new to this dispute, I was one of World Liberty’s earliest and largest investors.  In November 2024, I agreed to buy $30 million of $WLFI tokens under a Token Purchase Agreement with World Liberty, and I later increased my total investment to $45 million.  In April, I sued World Liberty, alleging that the company induced my investment through fraud and then unlawfully froze my tokens. My Token Purchase Agreement gives me the right to bring my claims in either California federal or state court.  I chose federal court. Federal courts can hear a case like mine only when the two sides come from different places.  Foreign plaintiffs like me can sue an American defendant in federal court, but foreign plaintiffs generally cannot sue a foreign defendant there.  For these purposes, a company like World Liberty takes on the citizenship of each of its owners, so a single foreign owner makes the company foreign.  In other words, so long as World Liberty and all of its owners were American, my case could be heard in federal court. The federal court’s rules required World Liberty to file a disclosure at the start of the case identifying every one of its owners and where each is a citizen.  World Liberty’s disclosure identified only one entity—World Liberty itself—and listed Florida as its sole citizenship.  Its lawyers certified that they were unaware of anyone else who needed to be disclosed. World Liberty then moved to compel arbitration, seeking to pull my case out of open court and into secret arbitration proceedings.  I opposed that motion, and my lawyers spent months and hundreds of thousands of dollars fighting it.  At a hearing in August, the Court signaled that it was not persuaded that my claims belonged in arbitration.  Instead, the Court ruled that certain of my claims should stay in open court, and certain claims should be sent to arbitration, and ordered the parties to meet and confer to come up with a proposed agreement on which claims stay in open court and which ones go to arbitration. Less than a week later, World Liberty suddenly “corrected” its disclosure.  Where it had previously listed only one member in its ownership chain, it now listed 22, and claimed citizenship in Florida, Delaware, Puerto Rico, and the UAE.  World Liberty now says that the federal court has no jurisdiction over my case, since its UAE citizenship means there are foreign parties on both sides of the case. The irony is hard to miss.  World Liberty’s gold paper declares that “[b]y design, World Liberty Financial is not organized offshore,” and that it is “an American, tax-paying, corporation that aims to bring DeFi to its rightful home—America.”  It promises a “US-based decentralized platform” built on “American ideals of liberty, privacy, and freedom to transact,” calls private, intermediary-free transactions “a core American value,” and boasts that “[r]ather than shying away from the United States, World Liberty Financial embraces the United States as the future CRYPTO CAPITAL OF THE PLANET.” World Liberty was proudly American 🇺🇸 when it was selling tokens.  It discovered its UAE 🇦🇪 roots only when it needed a way out of an American federal courtroom. World Liberty presumably always knew who its owners were.  Its lawyers claim that they learned about the company’s UAE citizenship only after they filed the original disclosure.  As my motion explains, if that is true, then either World Liberty’s lawyers failed to conduct appropriate diligence, or World Liberty did not give its lawyers a straight answer.  When we asked how this happened, World Liberty refused to tell us. Token holders deserve to know whether the projects they invest in are telling the truth, both to the public and to courts.  I am filing this motion to hold World Liberty and its lawyers accountable for what I believe was a misleading disclosure to the Court, and to make sure that the cost of World Liberty’s gamesmanship falls on them, not on me.  And after my sanctions motion is resolved in federal court, I will re-file my lawsuit against World Liberty in California state court. I will keep fighting for the transparency this community deserves.

Author Heather Mac Donald says “systemic racism” is not the reason Black Americans are underrepresented in colleges and professions, she says the real reason is a "skills gap” “This is something that's very difficult to talk about, and I need to give a trigger warning. But the average skill level of black students is very, very low” “According to the most widely used, objective, respected measures of student competence, The NAEP, the National Assessment of Educational Progress, which is given to hundreds of thousands of high school students and elementary school students every couple of years, 66% of Black 12th graders do not possess even the most basic 12th grade math skills” She says it is not racism to notice and talk about these things. She says this is why DEI is so destructive “That skills gap means that you can have meritocracy in an institution, or you can have diversity. You cannot have both. Am I a racist for bringing this up? I am not. The facts are the facts. I don't care. The facts need to be looked at. They have been completely kept out of the public eye in order to keep this systemic lie of racism going on” Let me just say that if the cause of black people not being proficient in certain things really was “systemic racism,” and it really was the White person holding them down, then that would be felt by all races But it’s not, if you look at the test scores in universities, Asians are beating whites in every category It has nothing to do with systematic racism

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 Nine Americans have been killed in the West Bank since 2022, and the Senate just voted against even asking why... A 14-year-old from New Jersey was shot 11 times and a Seattle woman was shot in the head, and Chris Van Hollen argued Washington should at least ask why: "In just over four years, nine American citizens have been killed on the West Bank by violent Israeli settlers or members of the Israeli security forces and there has been zero accountability." The resolution only asked the State Department for a report, and it still failed 47 to 51, with Rand Paul the lone Republican yes and Fetterman the lone Democratic no. Refusing to even document how Americans died tells their families Washington would rather not know. If November flips Congress, this comes straight back, and it should.

Social Security was sold as a program offering retirement annuities that American workers would buy for themselves. FDR called the 1935 Act “compulsory contributory annuities.” The Senate Finance Committee chairman said the worker would know “he himself is providing for his old age.” The government’s own poster promised “a monthly check to you for the rest of your life.” The sales pitch was successful, culminating in Congress passing the law that created the Social Security system. Then when the government’s lawyers went to court to defend the program’s constitutionality, they told a very different story. In Helvering v. Davis (1937), the Supreme Court—essentially adopting the government’s reasoning—upheld the program as a tax and a spending scheme. Writing for the Court, Justice Cardozo explained that the payroll taxes go into the Treasury “like internal-revenue taxes generally, and are not earmarked in any way.” The 1935 law left Congress at liberty to “alter, amend, or repeal” any part of it. In 1960, the Court closed the loop in Flemming v. Nestor. Benefits are not property and not a contract. Paying the tax does not give you an account the government cannot touch. Congress, in other words, can change the deal at any time. That’s quite the bait-and-switch maneuver. Social Security was sold as an annuity. Then it was defended and upheld by the Supreme Court as a tax and a benefit—one that the government can dilute or modify at will.

I can’t wait for Republicans to get destroyed in the midterms and then for everyone in the admin to be impeached.

Siddharth Kara just said it on Rogan: Britain paid the slave owners a fortune. Taxpayers finished the Bill in 2015. £20 million. Forty percent of the entire national budget. Then they borrowed the money. British taxpayers were still paying that loan in 2015. Not 1850. 2015. People who never owned a slave, never saw a plantation, were still on the hook for compensating men who treated human beings as property. The Gladstones cashed one of the biggest checks. Tens of millions in today’s money. On top of the fortune they already extracted. The enslaved got five more years of unpaid “apprenticeship.” Then Britain just replaced them with Indian indentured labor and kept the machine running. That’s the part that doesn’t make the museum plaque.
