Palantir Rallies After Steve Cohen’s Point72 Snaps Up Shares

Palantir Technologies Inc. surged to a fresh high after Steve Cohen’s hedge fund and others disclosed they’ve been buying shares of the data-mining company.

Point72 Asset Management LP bought 29.9 million Palantir shares in the third quarter, according to a 13F filing released Monday. Anchorage Capital Group also acquired 2.95 million shares. That follows purchases by other hedge funds including Soros Fund Management, which snapped up 18.5 million shares.

Palantir shares rose as much as 18% in intraday trading on Tuesday. The stock has gained over 155% since it went public in September.

Since starting up in 2003, co-founder and chairman Peter Thiel has helped bankroll the business throughout its long period as a privately held business. The Denver-based company, which sells data analysis tools to governments and companies has climbed about 77% since the U.S. election as investors were optimistic about Palantir’s prospects after Joe Biden was elected president.

University of California agrees to $73MILLION settlement over UCLA Health gynecologist accused of sexually abusing patients for more than three decades

The prestigious University of California system has reached a proposed $73 million settlement with seven women who accused a former gynecologist of sexual abuse.

As part of the class-action lawsuit, more than 6,600 patients of Dr. James Heaps could receive part of the settlement - even if they have not accused the former University of California, Los Angeles, gynecologist of abuse.

A federal judge must approve the deal between the seven plaintiffs, representing thousands of Heaps' patients, and the University of California regents and the doctor. The proposed agreement, which includes several mandated reforms at UCLA, was filed Monday in federal court.

Patients have accused Heaps of sexual assault and sexual misconduct between 1983 and 2018, when he worked at the UCLA student health center and UCLA Medical Center.

Accusations include making sexually inappropriate comments to patients, touching women sexually during exams without wearing gloves and simulating intercourse, often roughly, with an ultrasound probe.

Gabriela Vasquez, Ellen Cater and Julie Orsatti were three victims who publicly spoke out against Heaps in 2019.

The three women appeared on the Today Show, where they said UCLA needed to be held accountable for Heaps actions.

Vasquez, a former a medical assistant at UCLA Health, says she underwent an invasive examination with Heaps in January 2017. Vasquez said she told a supervisor about the incident, but an investigation didn't launch until December 2017.

'He was introducing the ultrasound and he was simulating as he was having sexual intercourse with me,' she told Today Show.

'And I said, "this is not OK, this is not right." I immediately went to my supervisor, and I reported this to her, and nothing was done.'

Carter told Today Show that she visited Heaps office two days before his office closed down.

'I was allowed to walk into the room after sitting in a waiting room full of other women waiting to see him,' said Carter. 'I walked in, got undressed. He sexually assaulted me again.'

Netanyahu, Rivlin call to congratulate Biden, calling him ‘president-elect’

Two weeks after US elections, PM has ‘warm conversation’ with former US VP; Biden, Netanyahu speak of Washington’s commitment to Israel’s security, agree to meet in the near future

Ten days after all major US networks called the election for Joe Biden, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Reuven Rivlin on Tuesday evening spoke to Joe Biden and congratulated him on his election victory in two separate phone calls.

Both men referred to the former US vice president as the president-elect — a first for Netanyahu — ending a long saga in which Israel was seen as unwilling to take a position on the election outcome.

Though Netanyahu had previously congratulated Biden in a general statement, he failed to say what for; and on Monday he appeared to purposefully avoid calling him the president-elect. Rivlin referred to Biden as such on November 8.

Both Netanyahu and Rivlin said they were sure that the US under Biden’s leadership will continue to be a stalwart ally to Israel.

Rivlin’s office was the first to issue a statement, at 7:00 p.m., saying he called the president-elect “a long-standing friend of the State of Israel,” saying relations go “beyond partisan politics” and saying Israel had “no doubt that, under your leadership, the United States is committed to Israel’s security and success.”

According to a readout from the president’s office, he further said the US “has no stronger ally than the State of Israel; there is nothing stronger than the friendship between the American people and the Israeli people; and the President of the United States of America has no greater friend than the President of the State of Israel, as we have proved over the years.

“As a long-standing friend of the State of Israel, you know that our friendship is based on values that are beyond partisan politics and that we have no doubt that, under your leadership, the United States is committed to Israel’s security and success,” he said.

Rivlin went on to express hope that Biden would work to expand the list of countries who began normalizing relations with Israel during US President Donald Trump’s tenure and extended an invitation for the president-elect to visit Jerusalem.

Exactly 17 minutes later, Netanyahu’s office issued a short statement about the prime minister’s “warm conversation” with Biden, during which the incoming US president “reiterated his deep commitment to the State of Israel and its security.”

Netanyahu told Biden that the special bond between Israel and the US is a “fundamental pillar for Israel’s security and its policy,” according to a readout provided by the Prime Minister’s Office.

“The two agreed to meet in the near future in order to discuss the many issues that are on the agenda and reiterated and stressed the need to continue strengthening the strong alliance between the US and Israel.”

Netanyahu had tweeted congratulations to Biden 12 hours after US media called the election for the Democratic nominee, but observers were quick to point out that the prime minister did not specify what he was lauding him for. It was widely assumed that Netanyahu refrained from referring to Biden as the president-elect to avoid angering Trump, who continues to refuse to concede the election.

The Secret Agenda of the World Bank and IMF

The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) work hand in glove – smoothly. Not only are they regularly lending huge sums of money to horror regimes around the world, but they blackmail poor nations into accepting draconian conditions imposed by the west. In other words, the WB and the IMF are guilty of the most atrocious human rights abuses.

You couldn’t tell, when you read above the entrance of the World Bank the noble phrase, “Our Dream is World Free of Poverty”. To this hypocrisy I can only add, ”…And we make sure it will just remain a dream.” This says both, the lie and the criminal nature of the two International Financial Institutions, created under the Charter of the United Nations, but instigated by the United States.

The front of these institutions is brilliant. What meets the eye, are investments in social infrastructure, in schools, health systems, basic needs like drinking water, sanitation – even environmental protection – over all “Poverty Alleviation”, i.e. A World Free of Poverty. But how fake this is today and was already in the 1970’s and 1980’s is astounding. Gradually people are opening their eyes to an abject reality, of exploitation and coercion and outright blackmail. And that, under the auspices of the United Nations. What does it tell you about the UN system? In what hands are the UN? – The world organization was created in San Francisco, California, on 24 October 1945, just after WWII, by 51 nations, committed to maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations and promoting social progress, better living standards and human rights.

The UN replaced the League of Nations which was part of the Peace Agreement after WWI, the Treaty of Versailles. It became effective on 10 January 1920, was headquartered in Geneva Switzerland, with the purpose of disarmament, preventing war through collective security, settling disputes between countries, through negotiation diplomacy and improving global welfare. In hindsight it is easy to see that the entire UN system was set up as a hypocritical farce, making people believe that their mighty leaders only wanted peace. These might leaders were all westerners; the same that less than 20 years after the creation of the noble League of Nations, started World War II.

This little introduction provides the context for what was eventually to become the UN-backed outgrowth for global theft, for impoverishing nations, around the world, for exploitation of people, for human rights abuses and for shoveling huge amounts of assets from the bottom, from the people, to the oligarchy, the ever-smaller corporate elite – the so-called Bretton Woods Institutions.

In July 1944 more than 700 delegates of 44 Allied Nations (allied with the winners of WWII) met at the Mount Washington Hotel, situated in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, United States, to regulate the international monetary and financial order after WWII. Let’s be sure, this conference was carried out under the auspices of the United States, the self-declared winner of WWII, and from now on forward the master over the financial order of the world – which was not immediately visible, an agenda hidden in plain sight.

6 Factors Which Point to a Rigged Election

The mainstream media are quick to call the claim “baseless”, but there’s plenty of evidence for anyone willing to see it.

'Precedent – It has happened before.

'Motive – Deep State/Military dislike of Trump’s policies is widely known.

'Foreknowledge – Establishment voices predicted this exact situation.

'Opportunity – The voting system is highly susceptible to fraud.

'''__Voting Irregularities – Known software “glitches” & irregularities in the reporting of the results.

'Cover-up – Dishonesty in the reporting of the situation.

Israel finds explosives planted on Syrian border; Gantz holds Damascus to blame

Defense minister warns army ready to respond to any incident, won’t ignore bombs uncovered, disarmed in Israeli-controlled buffer zone on southern Golan Heights

The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday uncovered and disarmed a number of explosive devices that had been planted inside Israeli-controlled territory in the southern Golan Heights, near the Syrian border.

Though Iranian proxies were suspected of being behind the attempted attack, Defense Minister Benny Gantz and the military said they held Syria responsible for the incident.

The explosives were planted in a buffer zone along the border where Israel once maintained a clinic for treating Syrian civilians under a humanitarian program known as “Operation Good Neighbor,” which is now used for patrols. The area is under Israeli control but on the Syrian side of the security fence, an area between the United Nations-recognized “Alpha” and “Bravo” ceasefire lines.

In August, four armed men from an Iranian proxy militia attempted to plant bombs in the same location. Since then, the IDF has stepped up monitoring of the area, the military said.

“For a long time, we have been prepared for the possibility of attacks on the northern frontier,” Gantz said during a security briefing and tour to review combat readiness of forces in area. “The IDF has the capabilities and determination to respond severely to any incident, whether from Lebanon or Syria.”

Addressing the discovering of the mines, he said: “I would like to clearly state: Syria is responsible for what happens from its territory, like this IED [attack], and what happens within its territory, like the smuggling of weapons to Hezbollah. We cannot ignore this issue.”

Dominion confirms Clinton Foundation donation, Pelosi staffer tie but disputes other claims

Dominion Voting Systems is rebutting assorted claims of partisan bias and voting manipulation in the 2020 election, including rumors of a secret U.S. military raid on purported servers in Germany and ownership interests and other influence in the firm by prominent Democratic families.

Election tech company Dominion Voting Systems is rebutting assorted claims of partisan bias and voting manipulation in the 2020 election, including rumors of a secret U.S. military raid on purported servers in Germany and ownership interests and other influence in the firm by prominent Democratic families. At the same time, Dominion has confirmed reports it made a donation to the Clinton Foundation and hired a former Nancy Pelosi staffer as a lobbyist.

Dominion has been at the center of a firestorm since Nov. 3, when its election management software, which is widely used across the country, led to an unofficial initial vote count misreporting Joe Biden as beating President Trump in Michigan's Antrim County when, according to election officials, the county clerk neglected to update software used to collect voting data from electronic tabulators.

In a lengthy, wide-ranging series of statements on its homepage, Dominion is rejecting claims made in the media and online by critics skeptical of the presidential results who fear that the firm is biased toward Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).

Although Dominion did acknowledge that it made a philanthropic donation to a Clinton Global Initiative meeting in 2014, it also stated that the firm "has no company ownership relationships with any member of the Pelosi family, the Feinstein family, or the Clinton Global Initiative, Smartmatic, Scytl, or any ties to Venezuela."

Dominion also linked to a Nov. 10 Associated Press report downplaying reports of ties between the election technology firm and prominent Democrats. While acknowledging that it is true that former Pelosi Chief of Staff Nadeam Elshami "is part of a lobbying team representing Dominion, according to public disclosures," the AP dismissed any partisan significance in that connection, noting "that team also includes Brian Wild, who counts Republicans such as former House Speaker John Boehner and former Vice President Dick Cheney among his past bosses."

Dominion also swatted down any claims of "raids" on Dominion servers by the U.S. military, saying that the company does not have servers in Germany.

Allegations against the company could escalate, given claims by an attorney on the Trump campaign election integrity legal team that forthcoming evidence shows the presidential vote count was manipulated using technology from Dominion, a claim the firm soundly rejects.

Attorney Sidney Powell alleged in media interviews that Dominion was used to obtain a "rigged" outcome for Biden over Trump.

The FBI Spying Denial That Never Grows Cold

Four years after the FBI sent “Confidential Human Sources” secretly to gather information on Donald Trump’s team, the president’s opponents in politics and the media continue to deny that the bureau spied on his 2016 campaign. They are now using that denial to dismiss questions of voting irregularities in the 2020 election by arguing that Trump and his allies traffic in outrageous falsehoods for partisan purposes.

Leslie Stahl and Trump: A socially distant elbow bump soon gave way to sharp-elbowed verbal interjections as Stahl would have none of the President's spying charges.

"60 Minutes"/CBS News

During the vice-presidential debate, Mike Pence said, “When Joe Biden was vice president of the United States, the FBI actually spied on President Trump and my campaign.” The response from NBC “fact checkers” was to declare that “Pence repeated a false claim that Trump made during the first presidential debate – accusing the Obama administration of spying on their 2016 campaign.”

At Politico, Kyle Cheney and Andrew Desiderio caricatured the accusation of spying as alleging “Biden was a mastermind of an effort to spy on Trump’s 2016 campaign,” saying it was a story “riddled with falsehoods, exaggerations and assumptions.” By pressing accusations of spying, the president has politicized “institutions in a way that will leave lasting damage,” Politico quoted Democrats saying. The outlet warned, “Trump may exacerbate that strain in the coming weeks.”

Last week, USA Today reporters Kevin Johnson and Kristine Phillips described as “debunked allegations” claims that Trump’s team had been spied on, while reporting that Attorney General William Barr, a prominent leveler of the charge last year, was now opening the Justice Department to "claims of partisan interference" with a new directive to investigate credible claims of voting irregularities.

Lesley Stahl, in her “60 Minutes” interview with President Trump ahead of the election, refused to even discuss the spying charge, rejecting it as unverified and untrue.

“The biggest scandal was when they spied on my campaign,” Trump told Stahl. “They spied on my campaign, Lesley.”

“Well, there's no real evidence of that,” Stahl objected.

“Of course there is. It's all over the place."

“No."

“Lesley, they –"

“Sir –"

“– spied on my campaign and they got caught."

“Can I – can I say something?” Stahl said. “You know, this is '60 Minutes.' And we can't put on things we can't verify –"

“No,” Trump said, “you won't put it on because it's bad for Biden. Look, let me tell you –"

“We can't put on things we can't verify.”

Powerhouse attorney Lin Wood files suit to declare entire Georgia election in 2020 null and void

Donald Trump is hanging on to his reelection chances by a thread after the thoroughly corrupt ‘mainstream media’ prematurely declared Democratic rival Joe Biden the ‘president-elect’ in what is clearly the latest coup attempt against a president who has done more good for our country than the last three presidents combined.

But because he is not a swamp rat and is a legitimate outsider, he is never going to be welcome in a government apparatus that has become so corrupt and so aloof from “We the People” that the ‘checks and balances’ enacted by our founders to prevent this sort of runaway situation are no longer functional.

As such, the people will have to come to the president’s aid and defend him as he fights to defend us and what remains of our republic and its election integrity.

One of those fighting the legal battle on behalf of the president and our country is powerhouse attorney Lin Wood.

A resident of Georgia, Wood is alleging in a massive lawsuit that a March 6, 2020 Consent Agreement made by Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger (RINO) and other state officials with a sniveling Democrat lawyer associated with Hillary Clinton to change election and voting procedures in violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Article II, which only gives that power to state legislatures.

I filed a lawsuit today in federal court in Atlanta to establish that the March 6, 2020 Consent Agreement by the GA Secretary of State rendered UNLAWFUL the 11/3 GA general election.

I am right under established law. https://t.co/3FBMWlPDmC

Establishment Dems Can’t Say ‘No’ to Billionaires

Have you heard the latest about the strategic political genius of billionaire Michael Bloomberg?

The political brilliance, you might skeptically ask, of Michael Bloomberg?

The same Michael Bloomberg who had to spend a record $99 per vote to get himself elected mayor of New York in 2001, another $112 per vote four years later to get himself re-elected, and even more — $174 per vote — to win a third term?

The same Michael Bloomberg who sunk over $900 million into a bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination and won only American Samoa before dropping out as “a billion-dollar flop”?

The same Michael Bloomberg who rushed into Florida this fall with a $100-million plan to get that state behind Joe Biden — and again flopped royally?

Yes, the strategic brilliance of that Michael Bloomberg, at least according to Democratic Party apparatchiks in Florida. Last week, they held a statewide conference call to proudly proclaim that their disappointing failure to carry Florida had actually been a brilliant political “feint” that, with Bloomberg’s help, had scared the Trump campaign into plowing resources into Florida — a state Trump figured to win handily — instead of the much more competitive upper Midwest.

Strange ‘Feint’

A brilliant “feint”? Really? Did former President Barack Obama know about the “feint” plan when he agreed to spend the election’s precious final days campaigning in Florida? Was having Obama, Biden’s best campaign surrogate, spend so much time in a we-know-we’re-going-to-lose state part of the ruse?

This whole “feint” notion appears little more than a face-saving exercise on the part of Democratic Party operatives who burned through millions of Bloomberg’s dollars. All quite understandable, of course. Political insiders within the Democratic Party — and that galaxy of pollsters, consultants, and media buyers who circle around them — have a vested personal interest in keeping billionaires like Bloomberg looking brilliant. They make big bucks helping billionaires realize their political fantasies.

Ukrainian Parliament To Vote On Allowing SBU To Censor Media, But Stop Investigating Corruption

The Ukrainian Parliament (Verkhovna Rada) has prepared a large-scale project to reform the Security Service of Ukraine – SBU.

Until now, the SBU was the only power structure that operated under the 1992 law.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy tried to reform the secret service this spring by submitting an appropriate bill to the Rada. But the document significantly expanded the functions of the service, which drew criticism from all sides.

Therefore, in the Rada the project was sent for revision. After several months of work on the document, it was rewritten so much that the name of the initiator, Zelensky, even disappeared from its “header”.

The new project is so different from its predecessor that the head of the SBU himself, Ivan Bakanov, raised the alarm.

The idea of the reform was published back in mid-October.

The website of the Servant of the People party posted a blog by People’s Deputy Maryana Bezugla about the reform of the SBU.

She was part of the international leadership program of the US State Department “Healthcare and Marginalized Populations”, which significantly affected her career – immediately before the elections, she was already hired in the Ministry of Defense, where she led the program “Reform of the medical care system. Armed Forces” in the project office of reforms.

In parliament, she entered the National Security Committee. And it was Bezuglaya who became the head of the group on the development of the draft reform of the Security Service of Ukraine.

The MPs decided that such a reform would be worked out in parliament back in the spring of 2020, when a draft SBU reform from the president was submitted to parliament. Even in the pro-presidential faction, Zelensky was accused of wanting to strengthen the powers of the special service, and therefore it was decided to rewrite his reform.

The SBU is the only law enforcement structure that has never been reformed since its inception. The special services work in accordance with the law adopted back in 1992. It partially duplicates the functions of the police. And this reform should eliminate this problem, as planned.

In her blog about this reform, Bezuglaya wrote that it was decided to reduce the law enforcement functions of the SBU, but create a large counterintelligence service that would counter threats to state security from other countries and groups.

Also, the special service decided to move away from the investigation of economic crimes.

Functionally, the SBU has one strategic goal – to be proactive.

“After all, preventing treason or a terrorist attack is much cheaper than eliminating their consequences. Consequently, preventive measures to respond to threats to state security are a priority area of ​​reform,” Bezugloy said in her blog.

Ireland, Clinton Foundation Sign $158.2 Million Agreement To Provide AIDS Drugs to Mozambique

Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern on Monday signed an agreement with former President Bill Clinton to donate up to $158.2 million to the William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation for the purchase of antiretroviral drugs for HIV-positive people in Mozambique, making the country the world's third largest buyer of AIDS drugs, the Irish Examiner reports. Under the agreement, Ahern committed the country to providing $71.9 million over five years with the possibility of an additional allocation of $86.3 million. The grant will enable Mozambique to provide access to HIV/AIDS treatment for up to 500,000 people, according to the Examiner (Sheahan, Irish Examiner, 7/8). The agreement provides for a collaborative effort between the Clinton Foundation and the government's Development Cooperation Ireland, making the country the first nation to publicly declare its support for increasing access to antiretrovirals, Clinton said at the signing (McKenna, Irish Independent, 7/8). The Clinton Foundation HIV/ AIDS Initiative aims to assist nations in implementing large-scale treatment, care and prevention programs (Clinton Foundation Web site, 7/8).

Prevezon Holdings: The Black Money Collector

Prevezon Holdings Ltd is a small international real estate investment company that leaves an unusually large footprint in stories about global crime and politics.

The Cypriot company, owned by Russian citizens, was a beneficiary in Russia’s biggest public fraud ever, involving the whistleblower Sergey Magnitsky, whose death in prison led to sweeping new anti-corruption laws in the United States.

The company agreed to pay nearly US$6 million to get out from under U.S. money laundering charges in 2017, only to see one of its attorneys accused of obstruction of justice and suspected of working for Russia to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Meanwhile, two high-profile U.S. Attorneys who sought to prosecute the company were sacked by President Donald Trump.

Now, bank documents obtained by OCCRP and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists as part of the FinCEN Files investigation indicate that Prevezon lies at the intersection of far more fraudulent activity than previously known.

🔗

About This Investigation

The FinCEN Files is a 16-month-long investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, BuzzFeed News and more than 400 international journalists in 88 countries, including those from OCCRP and its network of member centers.

Prevezon’s lawyers argued before a U.S. district court in 2017 that payments the company received from a firm in the British Virgin Islands, Reaton Ltd., showed their client was getting money from a legitimate source, not from fraud exposed by Magnitsky.

However, the lawyers failed to mention that Reaton itself was a conduit for funds from other frauds. Reaton Ltd. appears in the FinCEN Files in a Suspicious Activity Report filed in May 2014 by the Bank of New York Mellon, which flagged it and other companies involved in 304 wire transfers totaling nearly $204 million “that may have been involved in laundering of funds, which may have been the proceeds of Russian government corruption and embezzlement as well as Romanian organized crime.”

Also mentioned in the SAR is Nomirex Trading Ltd., a company used in large-scale fraud by a Vietnamese organized crime group to siphon more than $400 million out of Romania between 2006 and 2010.

Although the bank correctly identified some transactions that involved Reaton, it is not clear that it ever properly investigated the company. For the SAR, the bank used the results from a summary search in LexisNexis, a news and legal document aggregator, which pointed to a different company with the same name, based in Latvia.

China now brazenly sells fentanyl ingredients straight to Mexican cartels

He is a slight, bespectacled man. Colleagues at the industrial materials company where he works describe him as a humorous but diligent employee, known for driving his white Jeep around town in northwestern China's Ningxia region to meet potential clients.

Unbeknownst to them, he goes by Benjamin Chen online, where he has a whole other business: He is a popular seller of the chemicals used to make the potent synthetic opioid fentanyl. NPR has identified him but is not using his real name because of the illegal activity in which he's involved.

Chen is one of more than 100 vendors who market fentanyl or related chemicals out of facilities across China, and his story illustrates how networks are getting around international efforts to crack down on the supply chain of lethal synthetic opioids. In an interview with NPR, however, Chen categorically denied that he manufactures or sells any illegal substances.

For years, China has been a primary source of fentanyl trafficked into the United States. It is a powerful prescription drug for severe pain that's made and sold illegally. It led to more than 37,000 overdose deaths in the U.S. in 2019, part of a national opioid crisis that has worsened this year during the coronavirus pandemic, according to federal health authorities.

Under international pressure, China's government banned the production and sale of fentanyl and many of its variants in May 2019, resulting in a significant reduction in the country's illicit fentanyl trade.

But more than a year later, Chinese vendors have tapped into online networks to brazenly market fentanyl analogs and the precursor chemicals used to make fentanyl, and ship them directly to customers in the U.S. and Europe as well as to Mexican cartels, according to an NPR investigation and research from the Center for Advanced Defense Studies, or C4ADS, a nonprofit data analysis group. (The center receives some of its funds from the U.S. and U.K. governments.)

Some of the substances are outlawed in China and internationally. Others are so new they are not yet banned, are harder to detect and regulate, and they can be used in basic chemical processes to produce illegal drugs.

Chinese vendors are often camouflaged by a complex network of corporate entities registered in far-flung cities along China's interior, where they use sophisticated shipping methods to bypass screening measures and where law enforcement scrutiny is often laxer than in bigger cities such as Beijing or Shanghai. Thousands of doses can be shipped together in small, hidden packages.

"Many Chinese networks involved in the production and advertising of fentanyl quickly adapted to increased legal constraints by modifying their techniques to exploit loopholes in chemical restrictions and disguise their activities," said Michael Lohmuller, a C4ADS analyst and report co-author.

Hard to ban

When China began banning fentanyl-related compounds, it was hailed as a major victory for U.S. narcotics authorities and diplomats, who had lobbied China for years to strictly regulate the substances more broadly as a class. Previously, Chinese narcotics authorities criminalized only specific fentanyl offshoots.

Cybersecurity Expert: Easiest Way to Compromise Elections System Is During the Manufacturing Process — And It’s Not Hard at All

In October 2016 James Scott, a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Critical Infrastruction Technology, joined a panel of experts in a discussion on cybersecurity threats. During the panel James and the other experts highlighted vulnerabilities of the U.S. election system and specified ways adversaries can compromise voting machines and data.

James Scott told the panel the easiest way to compromise the US election system was during the manufacturing process.

Then entire panel was broadcast on CSPAN.

Elon Musk Just Got $15 Billion Dollars Richer; Here’s How

Elon Musk's personal fortune rose another $15 billion this week following the addition of Tesla, Inc. to the S&P 500 index and the use of a SpaceX rocket to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station

His net worth now totals $117.5 billion, $90 billion of which is from Tesla's stock gains this year despite relatively low production

He also sparked yet more backlash Monday after calling COVID-19 tests "extremely bogus" while using the least accurate option, landing him the monicker "space Karen"

It’s been a profitable week for billionaire Elon Musk, who has seen his net worth shoot up $15 billion following a successful SpaceX launch and the addition of Tesla to the S&P 500.

Tesla’s good news came on Monday, when the popular S&P 500 stock index announced it would be adding Tesla to its roster, the BBC reported. Individuals and portfolios that follow the index will now have some of their money in the electric car company when the change takes effect on Dec. 21.

Tesla's acceptance follows a fifth consecutive quarter of profitability after operating at a loss for years, and its stock has consistently risen despite selling only a fraction of the vehicles as its competitors. Tesla hopes to sell around 500,000 cars this year compared to Toyota’s annual sales of 10 million.
