lmao. Facebook’s down because… *drumroll* … they didn’t lint the program that sends its json, and now its malformed. Another classic from the golden age of AI slop code.

EXPLOSIVE 🧨 Mark Carney confirmed today Canadians will never know what’s in the security agreement he signed with CHINA 🇨🇳

LEAKED AUDIO: In an all-hands meeting on April 30, Mark Zuckerberg tells employees that he's training AI on them ahead of mass layoffs. "The AI models learn from watching really smart people do things... The average intelligence of the people who are at this company is significantly higher than the average set of people that you can get to do tasks. So if we're trying to teach the models coding, for example, then having people internally build tools or solve tasks that help teach the model how to code, we think is going to dramatically increase our model's coding ability faster than what others in the industry have the capability to do, who don't have thousands and thousands of extremely strong engineers at their company."

No surprise about the mayor of Arcadia. This is where the CCP and Sinaloa Cartel meet in California Project Sleeping Giant: Inside the Chinese Mercantile Machine Linking Beijing’s Underground Banks and the Sinaloa Cartel Sam Cooper Former senior DEA official describes covert global financial ecosystem tying Chinese students, Sinaloa fentanyl sales, cartel cash collection, and PRC state-linked infrastructure deals. In January 2021, a grainy black-and-white surveillance photo quietly accelerated one of the most consequential geopolitical investigations in recent times — a case with influence over border security, trade policy, and tariff disputes shaping our era. Captured at the U.S.-Mexico border, the image showed a thick-set Chinese man wearing a COVID-era face mask driving alongside a Mexican man — a key money launderer for the Sinaloa cartel. The Chinese man turned out to be a senior operative working for Sai Zhang, a younger Chinese international student living in the United States on a student visa. To a small group of U.S. federal agents, the photo revealed a thread they had been painstakingly unraveling since 2018, part of an ongoing investigation known as Project Sleeping Giant. The overarching task force, launched by senior DEA agent Don Im — whose career was built on decoding China’s paramount role in global money laundering and supply of chemicals used to produce methamphetamine and fentanyl — aimed to bring cases against Latin cartels working with Chinese money launderers. This photo was the first concrete step toward proving a direct, operational bridge between Chinese underground banking networks and the blood-soaked heart of Mexico’s most notorious cartel. While evidence of Sai Zhang’s commanding role in orchestrating Sinaloa fentanyl cash flows was stunning, the involvement of Chinese student networks followed its own curious logic, Im explained in an interview. “Chinese banking networks were operating in the U.S. long before Zhang linked up with the Sinaloa cartel,” Im said, describing the system in which Chinese buyers bid on pools of drug cash collected in cities worldwide, paying a premium to receive laundered dollars in American locations and investments of their choosing. “The buyers were mostly wealthy Chinese seeking dollars for real estate or tuition in America. Payments were made in yuan through Chinese accounts. In return, Mexican cartels received goods or cash.” In exclusive interviews, Im revealed in unprecedented details the breathtaking complexity of China’s global drug money laundering networks — a system of Byzantine paths that Sleeping Giant helped map and penetrate. The troubling implications help explain why Washington is now imposing trade sanctions targeting China and countries deeply entwined with its export-driven economy. At the heart of it, Beijing’s centralized economic apparatus and the Chinese Communist Party’s regional governors knowingly align with global drug barons — channeling fentanyl cash, reintegrating it into China’s factory output, and exporting drug-funded “legitimate” goods worldwide. Meanwhile, Chinese immigrants and travelers access the other side of this narco-banking system, using it to bankroll overseas investments and strengthen the reach of the Chinese diaspora. It is a system that works for China’s government and citizens alike — on the micro level, it pays for tuition and housing for Chinese students in America; on the macro level, it helps fund Xi Jinping’s Belt and Road infrastructure projects abroad, designed to bind other states more closely to China through trade, debt, and ultimately elite corruption. According to Im, the chemical precursors fueling the production of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and ecstasy in parts of Europe — as well as in countries like Canada and Mexico — are woven into this Belt and Road system.
