So what Gabbard did was to misrepresent classified documents to defraud the public for the benefit of a hostile foreign power that is helping kill U.S. troops and Ukrainian children.

Israel’s government was involved in the crappy planning, so they can share in the crappy results. Anyone with a brain could see that Trump wasn’t a reliable partner of things went south. That’s his only consistent feature in life. Maybe there’s a lesson in all of this.

Another failure of regulation: not only does the export control process leave it still open for use by US nationals, there is also no insight as to what criteria causes a model to get banned and no after the fact due process of any kind. We need that to prevent corruption.

For some reason, they are allowing this to be used by US citizens. That makes no sense whatsoever if it is truly as dangerous as some, including Mark Warner, have suggested.

This is an area that we need to focus on more. For the uninitiated, “jailbreaking” is win an AI‘s models guardrails can be overcome. In that situation, it can be incredibly dangerous and be used to create computer viruses and overcome national security systems, very very bad.

Very true.

Posobiec Doubling Down on Russian Disinformation! Jack Posobiec is actively pushing a Russian disinformation campaign why? ‘NO GAIN OF FUNCTION’ What the Slides Actually Show (Relevant to Pathogen Research): The slides focus on the U.S. Department of Defense’s Biological Threat Reduction Program (BTRP) support for labs (primarily in Ukraine — over 40 facilities mentioned), including: • Construction, funding, and equipping of labs (specific costs and contractors like Black & Veatch are listed). • Storage and handling of Especially Dangerous Pathogens (EDP) and Soviet-era biological weapons-related pathogens. • Training of Ukrainian scientists in biocontainment. • U.S. payments to Ukrainian scientists “to study the genome of highly pathogenic avian flu and other highly infectious viruses in biocontainment labs, which were also paid for by the U.S. government.” Pathogens explicitly referenced in the slides include: Anthrax, tularemia, tuberculosis, Swine Fever, Newcastle Disease, MERS, SARS, Marburg, Ebola, Lassa, Plague, Rickettsia, and highly pathogenic avian flu. dni.gov These genome studies of highly pathogenic viruses in U.S.-funded biocontainment labs are the closest content in the document to areas sometimes discussed in GoF debates, but the slides present them in the context of threat reduction, biosecurity, and pathogen characterization rather than explicit gain-of-function work. Russian Disinformation on U.S.-Supported Biolabs in Ukraine: Receipts & Links Below! 👇 Jack Posobiec is actively pushing a Russian disinformation campaign along with Tulsi Gabbard but why? Russia has a long history of conducting disinformation campaigns via false allegations of biological weapons activities by the United States: The Soviet Union deliberately spread false accusations that the United States had used biological weapons during the Cold War. Such accusations have continued in modern times under Russian President Putin to erode trust in the United States, weaken U.S. relations with partner countries, and to divert attention away from illicit Russian activities such as its use of chemical weapons in Salisbury and against Alexei Navalny. Ukraine’s long-term cooperation with the United States to enhance biological research facilities is a key element of this disinformation. The United States cooperates with labs and health centers across the world in countries through the Biological Threat Reduction Program. This defense program is crucial for reducing threats from natural or accidental outbreaks and the potential use of biological weapons. The United States does not operate, fund, nor in any way support biological or chemical weapons activities in Ukraine: The United States has, and continues to be, in full compliance of its obligations under both the Biological Weapons Convention and the Chemical Weapons Convention. Ukraine does not have biological or chemical weapons. Ukraine has long been a staunch champion for non-proliferation. Ukrainian biological research facilities are part of this legacy. They were designed to consolidate naturally-arising dangerous pathogen samples to secure locations to avoid them being weaponized or accidentally released—NOT GAIN OF FUNCTION. They enhance Ukraine’s ability to detect and track diseases and peacefully guard against the full range of biological threats. Russia has increased its disinformation which falsely claims that Ukraine may have biological and chemical weapons. This effort from the Russian government, along with support from the Chinese government, is intended to erode trust in the United States and sow doubt in the international community, and may be part of plans for Russian biological or chemical weapons attacks in Ukraine via a false-flag operation.

I am copying this message I left for all the kind Ukrainians and volunteers who wished my happy birthday today.: “Thank you for the well-wishes on my birthday. I am grateful for my friends from Ukraine, for those from across the planet who have supported the liberation of what is now the world’s greatest democracy. The volunteers, the fighters, everyone. War is brutal emotionally and physically, but out of these wounds a new world is blooming. I am privileged. I am grateful. With all humility, thank you. All I want for my birthday, now and until the end of my days, is the liberation of all occupied territories. The return of all POWs and children. Magnificent justice delivered cold and ferocious to every war criminal. That the pangs of thirst and fear lie upon the black empty hearts of evert Russian soldier, until they are consumed into the earth to fertilize the next crop of sunflowers as a warning to all those who would dare attack dear Ukraine. And most of all, may we take this country experience as the guiding light to make a new world. One that cherishes the weak, protects the dreams of children, and operates without corruption, whether financial or moral. I recognize, I feel, with the utmost clarity, that I am fortunate to be alive when so many have perished. Their eyes and memories haunt me. Positively. Because it is their sacrifice that compels us to live better. I want the dead to be proud of the living. Just as I am proud of all of you. The next six months mean everything. Dig deep. Push harder than ever. We have come so far. The great daybreak of freedom is on the near horizon. And while we may remember the words of Lincoln, Reagan, and Martin Luther King, know that it is our words that will the capstone on what they built. It is our words that will live forever. It is the relentless fortress of hope in this war that will flourish from “dark yesterdays to bright tomorrows.” I leave you with this quote: “Only he who attempts absurd can achieve the impossible.”  Miguel de Unamuno”

Remember than Israel was directly involved in the planning for the Iran War. They must share in the blame for the strategic failures, as well. Thus, they’re not entitled to the perfect peace deal and will have to accept compromises as a consequence of joint mistakes.

As for likely Iranian oil sanction waivers that will be issued under the MOU if finalized: Iran currently has 67M barrels of oil loaded onto vessels inside the U.S. blockade line. At a production rate average of ~1.7M barrels per day, that’s equivalent to 36 days of exports. With the oil sanction waivers, we would likely only see a shift from discount to premium of ~$5/barrel. From a $1/barrel discount now, to a ~$4/barrel premium post waiver. However, it’s worth nothing that these waivers will also increase the sales price of the 80M barrels outside the blockade line as well. Purely due to the sanction waivers, we would be looking at increased revenue flows PURELY due to the sanction waivers of (80M x $5) (67M x $5) = $735M When we look at the TOTAL value of the Iranian oil already loaded, we would need to assume a further drop in oil prices, but also be accounting for a $4 premium to Brent. Assuming Brent falls to ~$78/barrel on an MOU announcement, when we include the ~$4/barrel premium for Iranian to Brent, we would be looking at a rough sales price of $82/barrel. $82 x 147M total loaded = $12.05B While Iran would not be able to receive ~45.6% of these revenues due to the blockade if it remained in place, once it is lifted, Iran will IMMEDIATELY have $12B of oil in transit to buyers. That alone is enough to ENTIRELY wipe out the economic pain they’ve endured from the U.S. blockade. Once this MOU is announced… Game over.

As I said... This is not pure idiocy, useful or otherwise. This is intentional abuse of power and, in fact, falsifications, all in furtherance of the interests of a foreign adversary.

This bad-faith statement proves he doesn’t understand or refuses to accept the actual risks and absence of reward for such a mission. Taking Kharg Island accomplishes literally zero unless the blockade is failing. Even if it’s not, the island becomes a kill box. Sign up gramps.

This Tulsi for President account is based in a BRICS country. Can’t make this up.

Morning, lads! There is some good Ukraine-US coverage happening on this page and often a bloody fight against Russian propaganda - don’t forget to tell your friends and let them join the party. It’s fun. PHOTOS: Anastasia Duchess

Of course they were trying to trademark the 'Trump Kennedy Center' name. OF COURSE THEY WERE. Never miss an opportunity to grift. 🙄

Good, frankly we suck and are unreliable, even when it’s against our own interests.

Need to remember that ‘bio lab’ is NOT synonymous w/‘bio weapons lab’: defense, research & security lab work must of necessity involve same deadly pathogens as actual Chinese, Damascus, Iranian, NK, Russian bioweapons labs

Follow this guy. He knows his stuff.

The biggest “duh” in history.

I I’ll never forgive people who voted for Trump. This is on them. The Lincoln Memorial is hallowed ground. Where our greatest president, who gave his life to end slavery, is commentated. Where the Gettysburg Address is written. We live as graffiti now.
