That’s exactly the problem
Columbia Journalism Review takes an inside look at Kirn’s ‘County Highway’ publication. They focus on the close connection with RFK, which happened after I stopped reading it. I subscribed at first, hoping it would have the qualities of a real newspaper. After reading the first two editions, I decided it fails the test in every…

Supersuckers as fucking usual
Via Protos: = = = = = Crypto exchanges Kraken, Crypto.com, and BitMEX, alongside a raft of DECENTRALIZED crypto industry websites, have been impacted by Tuesday’s widespread Cloudflare outage that caused swathes of the internet to grind to a halt. = = = = = DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU’RE SAYING? A money-handling business…

Good for Delaware!
Via RealClear: The major bitcoin fraudster Coinbase played the usual corporate trick of incorporating in Delaware because Delaware has rigged its laws to favor tax evaders and fraudsters. Amazingly, Delaware has finally lost its patience with the worst criminals. WSJ has an “editorial” written by Coinbase’s head criminal. His words in bold followed by interlinear…

Could have been a good idea
Via RealClear: The Methodists are trying a new way to maintain a central managing body while allowing more modularity. Instead of a universal orthodoxy, regions will be allowed to set their own standards for SOME hot-button stuff like homosexuality and women pastors. In any system, living or mechanical or social, modularity is crucial. = =…

Go with the flow
Nobody seems to be reading what I’m writing now, but for some reason this older item is getting a few reads. Might as well go with the flow and REwrite what AI bots are “reading.” The item was posted in 2022, but most of it was originally written in 2016 before the Bush/Trump “virus” torture…

Oldest sucker filter
A preacher has predicted that the Rapture will occur tomorrow, 9/23. Raptures and apocalypses are unquestionably the oldest Sucker Filter, the oldest tool for selecting the most gullible followers. Every single one has failed. Often a prophet will “revise” the rapture several times in a row. Each failure and revision sorts the suckers at a…

SubSPAC
SPACs are money-laundering devices for new entries in the stock crime index. The sole purpose of a SPAC is to evade the few remaining regulations on initial offerings of crime shares. When a fake company wants to enter the NASDAQ Murder Index but knows it’s too blatantly bankrupt to get past the weak rules, it…

New crime, old failure of media
This is a new form of fraud! The report by KHQ is overly vague to protect identities, but the subject is clear enough. An older homeowner was at work, and his neighbor called to tell him that somebody was changing the locks on his house. There were also appraisers and others looking over the property.…

Suckerfilterissimo
If Guinness gave awards for the greatest number of red flags in spam, this one would be in the running. 1. DocHub scams are well known. 2. Real email source doesn’t match alleged source at DocHub. 3. Supposedly I’m historical6 at ‘onmicrosoft.com’. Or does it say that I’m isabelladavis at gutkai.com? I know who I…

Postal inspectors score again!
In yesterday’s random item I repetitively mentioned the obviously fraudulent nature of the Gaian cult. It serves the billionaires and nobody else. Here’s a WOW moment. The Postal Inspection Service has caught one of the biggest fraudsters EVER. Joe Sanberg, leading Dem activist, headed a “green investment” firm that claimed to be planting trees in…

Good context on a big fraud
This excellent Canadian documentary on the Maria Duval “psychic” fraud starts with a much broader context and an important statistic I didn’t know. Mail-order business started in the 1880s with Sears and Wards. We naturally assume it peaked before the suburban era when everyone had cars. Other parallel practices like grocery and laundry delivery peaked…

Repeated pattern
The latest Post Office podcast tells how the postal investigators solved an allergy testing fraud. Fits nicely into my current situation, trying to fix a bad allergic response! The case began when an alert postman in Hyde Park noticed fishy activities in a commercial mailbox service there. He saw their employees opening lots of letters…

Machiavelli works
While I’m doing poll type stuff, here’s an unsurprising but worthy Gallup poll. Who owns bitcoin and related frauds? Men. More specifically, wealthy “conservative” men from 18 to 50. About 25% in this group own fraud, and 37% of all men. Only 17% of all women own fraud. Partisan advertising works for frauds like politics…

Leonardo da Jersey
Postal inspectors busted the latest giant Ponzi, a New Jersey racketeer who called himself NJ Flipper. = = = = = START LONG QUOTE: Cesar Pina provided services for narcotics traffickers, bribed a government official, and defrauded unsuspecting investors out of millions of dollars, all for personal gain. Under the guise of being an entrepreneur…

Also unsurprising
Also unsurprising but not as important as arsonists… Bari Weiss set up a fake “independent” news source using Substack as the platform. At first it looked independent, but soon showed its purpose. It’s just a branch office of NYTimes. Bari allegedly got disgusted with NYTimes and quit to form her own media company. She’s competing…
