🏛️ BCE: Lagarde avrebbe bloccato la licenza MiCA di Binance in Grecia Secondo quanto riportato da Gareth Jenkinson di The Block, la presidente della Banca Centrale Europea Christine Lagarde avrebbe ordinato direttamente alla Grecia di respingere la domanda di licenza MiCA presentata da Binance, che era già prossima all'approvazione dopo aver superato la maggior parte dei requisiti regolatori. La posizione di Lagarde sulle criptovalute è nota: la presidente ha da tempo spinto per l'euro digitale come alternativa alle stablecoin, mettendo in guardia sui rischi che queste ultime porrebbero alla capacità delle banche di concedere prestiti e dei banche centrali di controllare i tassi di interesse. Con la Grecia fuori dai giochi, Binance è ora in trattativa con l'Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) francese, considerata l'unica giurisdizione in grado di elaborare una licenza MiCA entro il 30 giugno, data oltre la quale i provider privi di autorizzazione dovranno cessare di operare per i clienti europei. Il CEO Richard Teng ha rassicurato gli utenti sul fatto che i fondi "rimangono al sicuro" e che verranno forniti aggiornamenti prima della scadenza. atlas21.com/it/bce-lagarde-a…

🏛️ ECB allegedly blocked Binance's MiCA license application in Greece According to Gareth Jenkinson of The Block, Binance's application had cleared most Greek regulatory requirements and was on track for approval when ECB President Christine Lagarde reportedly intervened directly to order its rejection. Lagarde has long been a vocal critic of cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, actively promoting the digital euro as an alternative. At the Banco de España LatAm Economic Forum in May, she described the case for euro-denominated stablecoins as "much weaker than it appears," warning they could undermine banks' lending capacity and central banks' control over interest rates. With Greece no longer an option, Binance is now in negotiations with France's Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) as its only remaining path to MiCA authorisation ahead of the 30 June deadline. Companies without a licence will be required to cease offering services to European customers from 1 July. Binance CEO Richard Teng addressed user concerns on 16 June, stating the exchange remains committed to its European users and that customer funds "remain safe" and "will remain accessible at all times," with further updates expected before the deadline. atlas21.com/ecb-lagarde-alle…

Thanks for sharing this. Amanda Jenkinson is my aunt. They spent over £5M on the case and so desperate for a conviction that, police officers in the court (many of whom, having affairs with nurses, present for prosecution…), stood up and APPLAUDED when she was found guilty.

June 18, 1994. The World Cup Massacre. Most people outside the UK and Ireland have never heard of it. "Bring me back, and I'll do the job for you Jack." Ray Houghton scored the most famous goal in Irish football history. At the same time, six men were killed in a pub watching the game. This is what happened. Northern Ireland in 1994 was a place of extraordinary tension and fragile hope. The Troubles had raged for 25 years. Over 3,500 people had been killed. But something was shifting. Peace talks were moving. A ceasefire felt closer than it ever had. Sixteen days before the game, a different kind of tragedy had struck. June 2, 1994. An RAF Chinook helicopter carrying 25 of Britain's most senior Northern Ireland intelligence experts, MI5 officers, Royal Ulster Constabulary, British Army personnel, crashed into a hillside on the Mull of Kintyre, Scotland. All 29 on board were killed. In a single crash, Britain had lost almost its entire intelligence network in Northern Ireland. The cause was disputed for decades. Key documents sealed for 100 years. June 18. Giants Stadium. East Rutherford, New Jersey. 75,000 people, most of them Irish-American, turned a New Jersey football ground into the largest Irish gathering on earth. Italy were one of the tournament favourites. Baggio. Baresi. Maldini. Four players from the AC Milan side that had beaten Barcelona 4-0 in the Champions League final just weeks earlier. Ray Houghton had almost not played. Jack Charlton had been leaning toward Jason McAteer. The night before, he pulled Houghton aside. "Go ahead and play." 11th minute. John Sheridan's long ball. Baresi headed it up. Houghton chested it down. Left foot. 25 yards. Chipped over Pagliuca into the net. Giants Stadium erupted. Ireland held on. Paul McGrath stood like a wall in front of Packie Bonner's goal. Roy Keane ran until his legs gave out. Jack Charlton stood on the touchline and barely moved. Final whistle. Ireland beat Italy at the World Cup. In the tiny village of Loughinisland, Northern Ireland, 24 men had gathered in The Heights Bar to watch the match. At 10:10pm, as the celebrations were going, two men in boilersuits and balaclavas walked through the door. They were UVF. Ulster Volunteer Force. Loyalist paramilitaries. Two days earlier, the Irish National Liberation Army had killed three UVF members on the Shankill Road. The UVF had called for blood on the streets. The pub was Catholic. They opened fire with assault rifles. Six men were killed. Five others were injured. Witnesses said the gunmen laughed as they ran to their getaway car. The UVF claimed responsibility within hours. Nobody has ever been convicted for the murders. A police ombudsman's report later found that RUC police force informants had helped smuggle the guns used in the attack into Northern Ireland. Collusion. The word that hung over everything in Northern Ireland for decades. The IRA ceasefire came 74 days later, on August 31, 1994. The peace process that the UVF had tried to derail survived. The Good Friday Agreement came four years after that. In 2017, 23 years after the massacre, a documentary called No Stone Unturned was released. Produced by two Belfast journalists, Trevor Birney and Barry McCaffrey. It named the three chief suspects for the first time: Ronald Hawthorn, Alan Taylor, Gorman McMullen. It alleged that during interrogations, a known UVF suspect had spent less than 10 minutes being questioned about the murders, and the rest of the time being encouraged by his interrogator to kill another Catholic. One of the alleged gunmen still lives near Loughinisland. On August 31, 2018, at 6am, approximately 30 armed police officers arrived at Trevor Birney's home. His wife and three daughters were inside. They arrested him. They arrested McCaffrey simultaneously. Both held for 14 hours. The charge: suspected theft of confidential documents from the Police Ombudsman. Not the killers. The journalists. "Instead of going after the killers," Birney said, "they've decided to come after the journalists." The investigation was dropped. The search warrants ruled unlawful. The PSNI chief constable issued an unreserved apology and paid £875,000 in damages. Nobody has ever been convicted of the murders. Ray Houghton's chip. The most famous goal in Irish football history. Six men who never made it home. The same game. The same night. Rest in peace. 🕊️ Adrian Rogan. Patrick O'Hare. Eamon Byrne. Malcolm Jenkinson. Daniel McCreanor.

Listen to the story of a nurse wrongly convicted in the 90's, following an incident report she had written. (Sound familiar?) "It is nothing about truth, nor innocence, nor justice.... the best performance on the day wins." Amanda Jenkinson How very true those words are. I wonder if judges and prosecutors, when they take off their theatrical wigs and gowns, ever give another thought to the innocent people locked away once their courtroom "show" is over? Listen to Amanda's story here and weep. youtube.com/watch?v=3Mu7cTWB… @DavidDavisMP @MoJGovUK @ClarkeMicah @Channel4News @guardian @nineteen_nurses #JusticeReform #MiscarriagesOfJustice #FreeTheInnocent #LucyLetby

"When the season ended, Babe Ruth received hundreds and hundreds of invitations to barnstorm anywhere he wanted. Of the approximately fifteen games that Babe selected, five were against Negro League teams. Three of those contests were played in Philadelphia while the other two were contested in Buffalo. Babe Ruth then sailed to Cuba, where he joined John McGraw’s Giants to play nine more contests versus a combination of Latino and Negro ballplayers. Again, the message was clear: "If the sports’ most transcendent figure played without reservation against Black ballplayers, why shouldn’t everyone else?" "Babe Ruth and The Issue of Race". Bill Jenkinson. Babe Ruth poses with black fans, highlighting a lesser-known side of the legendary baseball player. According to baseball historian Bill Jenkinson, Ruth was not racist and took a stand against segregation in sports. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he chose to play games against Negro League teams in the late 1920's, a period when most white players and teams refused such interactions. Babe Ruth didn’t just play; he actively engaged with black players, sitting with them in dugouts, socializing before and after games, and mingling in segregated stands. Babe Ruth scheduled games in locations where interracial competition was not only against social norms, but also illegal. Julia Ruth Stevens, Babe Ruth’s daughter, believes that her father’s appreciation for black players likely hurt his chances of becoming a manager for a Major League Baseball team in the years before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier. Babe Ruth’s actions, while not widely publicized, reflect his progressive stance and respect for all players, regardless of race.

#WorldCup loughinisland murders 1994. witness described "bodies lying piled on top of each other on the floor". The dead were Adrian Rogan (34), Malcolm Jenkinson (52), Barney Green (87), Daniel McCreanor (59), Patrick O'Hare (35) and Eamon Byrne (39), all Catholic civilians.

Prezes Europejskiego Banku Centralnego (EBC) Christine Lagarde rzekomo odegrała bezpośrednią rolę w odrzuceniu wniosku Binance o licencję MiCA na oferowanie usług w Unii Europejskiej. Według informacji podanych przez The Big Whale, wniosek o licencję dla Binance w Grecji został początkowo rozpatrzony przez regulatora rynku kapitałowego, HCMC, i uznany za zgodny z MiCA. Później jednak pojawiły się zarzuty, że proces został zablokowany na szczeblu politycznym. Dziennikarz Gareth Jenkinson, powołując się na wiarygodne źródło, twierdzi, że prezes EBC Christine Lagarde bezpośrednio poleciła Grecji odrzucenie wniosku Binance o licencję MiCA. Jenkinson stwierdził, że Binance było praktycznie bliskie uzyskania zgody greckiego regulatora, ale wszystko uległo zmianie po interwencji EBC. Uważa się, że Lagarde przekazała premierowi Grecji wiadomość, że Binance nie jest mile widziana w Europie, a wytyczne te zostały następnie przekazane Ho Chi Minh za pośrednictwem Ministerstwa Finansów. Podobno główna motywacja stojąca za tą interwencją może być związana z rynkiem stablecoinów i projektem cyfrowego euro. Binance jest wymieniana jako jeden z najważniejszych kanałów płynności stablecoinów w Europie i sugeruje się, że usunięcie platformy z rynku europejskiego mogłoby stworzyć przestrzeń dla przyszłego cyfrowego euro. W związku z tymi wydarzeniami pojawiły się doniesienia, że ​​Francja jest ostatnią opcją dla Binance, aby kontynuować działalność w Europie. Trwają rozmowy między firmą a francuskim regulatorem finansowym, AMF, ale jak dotąd nie złożono żadnego oficjalnego wniosku. Jeśli to wszystko to prawda, to chyba naprawdę powinniśmy bać się UE.
