I hope #PatentTrolls like #Rothschild get their asses handed to court.

I'm just glad such bs patents are null and void in #Germany because they are neither "new" nor "an actual invention that solves a technical problem"...

@cryptadamist @brian_greenberg Granted, they do utilize #MoneyMules and #ShellCompanies as well as #CryptoExchanges to obtain said value.

  • And since their operational cost is relatively low, they can afford wasting 25%-50% in laundering if that meant they'd have clean profits elsewhere...

Obviously #Thailand (which acts as transit/gateway and starting point for #investigators looking for people #missing that turn out to be coerced if not flat-out abducted into these #ForcedLabour setups) isn't happy about an increasing number of (foreign) #diplomats and #investigators wanting to find where their nationals are, as obviously the Thai government isn't at fault.

  • It's just that #Bangkok is the closest international hub and thus place where those lured in with "attractive job openings" touch down based off ticket purchases and thus they enter the country there.

Not that any nation wants to have cases of abductions and missing foreign nationals within their borders (North Korea doesn't count!) but I guess we can all imagine that this seriously puts a dent in Thailand's reputation re: #tourism and #safety none of the politicans want to see...

#Swedish #pension fund #APFonderna created #shellcompanies to invest into #Northvolt before it went public, this lead to Swedish #pensioners lost 5.8 billion #SEK

IMHO the people behind this who worked at AP-Fonderna should be personally responsible to compensate the pensioners funds for the whole loss as it was #illegal for them to do the investment.

Bolag utan anställda fick uppdraget när AP-fonderna satsade miljarder i Northvolt

Ett upplägg med bolag utan anställda blev lösningen när AP-fonderna skulle satsa pensionspengar i Northvolt. Nu kan SVT avslöja hur det gick till när AP-fonderna kom runt förbudet i lag mot att köpa onoterade aktier direkt. Affären med statliga pensionspengar slutade med att 5,8 miljarder försvann.

Janis Hashe: #Coal Fight Far From Scuttled: New data quantifies projected health harms

"The twists and turns of the fight over the proposed #Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal (OBOT), and the developer’s plan to use it to export coal, are far from over. This despite a fight that extends back at least a decade.

A proposal to export coal through Oakland, as reported by environmental organization Earthjustice, was revealed by an April 2015 story in a small Utah newspaper, the Richfield Reaper, which reported that four Utah coal-producing counties were combining to invest in a “new West Coast export terminal.” That this was OBOT was confirmed by a memo obtained through a public record request."

Coal Fight Far From Scuttled

Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal's coal fight far from scuttled, as new data quantifies projected health harms.

@Nonilex Trump Media & Technology Group for the purpose of being publicly traded sought the partnership with Digital World Acquisition Corp., which was created with the help of ARC Capital, a Shanghai-based firm specializing in listing Chinese companies on American stock markets that has been a target of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigations for misrepresenting ***shell corporations***.

Who's still buying, that Trump isn't a globalist hiding & trafficking own & other people's shady money?

If Ulysses S. Grant, Republican, U.S. Army General & 18th President of the United States were alive today, one of his major enemies would be Leonard Leo, Catholic Knight of Malta & chief subverter of the Separation of State & Church.

"Encourage free schools, and resolve that not one dollar of money shall be appropriated to the support of any sectarian school. Resolve that neither the state nor nation, or both combined, shall support institutions of learning other than those sufficient to afford every child growing up in the land the opportunity of a good common school education, unmixed with sectarian, Pagan, or Atheistical tenets. Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and the state forever separate."

— Ulysses S. Grant, Speech to the Society of the Army of Tennessee (1875) —
