Khashoggi's Ghost @urocklive1.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
The former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee alleged that Vladimir Putin possesses a comprehensive kompromat file on Donald J. Trump. He didn’t suggest it. He stated it. The file, he said, is extensive, meticulously documented, and designed not to destroy Trump — but to control him.
According to Mussayev, the kompromat includes financial records showing illicit transactions connected to accounts either owned by Trump or clearly affiliated with his name. It also contains statements from operatives who were directly involved in kompromat operations — individuals who could, if necessary, provide witness testimony confirming the authenticity and intent behind the material. Most damning of all, he claims, are the recordings: audio and video documentation of sexual crimes against minors and acts of violence against women.

Asked aboard the papal plane Monday about Germany’s far right, Pope Leo XIV said its fusion with “a certain kind of religion” is “not an authentic expression of Christianity.” The values of the Gospel, he said, “are not about hatred and division.”

A key component of the Cambridge Analytica outrage was your friends subjecting you to data theft without your consent or knowledge. Facebook is running the same playbook on your text messages. Even if you’re not on Meta properties, they’re ingesting your interactions.
Aten installed Muse on both his iPhone and a Mac mini that he uses to test out various Al agents and tech. It took Meta a single day to begin "helpfully" pitching article ideas based on texts he'd sent to a podcast co-host.
When he asked Muse how it got the information, it said that it read banners from incoming texts. But that's not true, either.
After doing a little digging, Aten says Muse synced 187,000 lines from his Messages database, despite Full Disk Access being Off.Unless Aten is the most popular person on the face of the planet, I sincerely doubt he'd gotten 187,000 lines of text in roughly 24 hours. What happened is that, without permission, Muse went into the app and downloaded the information.
He had not given Muse permission to access Messages, and full disk access was not enabled. It just went ahead and uploaded those texts anyway.
Muse can take "unexpected actions" indeed.

And it didn’t start in 2016. This is the natural evolution of a system that required hidden authoritarianism and quiet exploitation and oppression. When it reaches this point of inequality and so much wealth is concentrated in so few hands, the system goes into a new gear that requires this turn.

How clear is it that Trump's taxpayer funded ads are illegal? I explain why it is 10/10 clear. Senate in passing the law: Ban is designed to stop public funds used for "glorification" of an individual official. GAO: funds can not be used for "self-aggrandizement" nor partisan political purposes.

If you need hope and motivation these days, watch Pixar's "Wall-E", about a monopoly called "Buy N Large" that owns EVERYTHING: businesses AND govts. BNL's rampant pollution makes Earth too toxic to support life, so it makes MORE profit charging people to live on spaceships. Sound familiar?
