Trump’s Latest Accounting Gambit Just Failed: Already drowning in legal trouble from his recent arrest and two other potential criminal indictments on the horizon, Donald Trump continues to delay the New York attorney general’s attempt to bankrupt him, this time, by finding Republican-friendly accountants in Texas. His family company, the Trump Organization , was forced to scramble and find new accountants early last year amid accusations it regularly faked business records to inflate assets. The shunned Trumps settled on Whitley Penn, a relatively unknown accounting firm that doesn’t even rank among the ‘Big Four,’ not even among the big four in North Texas.

Pentagon Tries to Cast Bank Runs as National Security Threat: In recent months, the Pentagon has moved to provide loans, guarantees, and other financial instruments to technology companies it considers crucial to national security, a step beyond the grants and contracts it normally employs.

The Pentagon had even scrambled to prepare multiple plans to get cash to affected companies if necessary, reporting by Defense One revealed.

20 Years After Illegal US Invasion of Iraq, Its Architects Are Still Cashing In: It had been 15 years since the U.S. invaded Iraq when, on March 19, 2018, the celebrated Iraqi novelist and poet Sinan Antoon published a blistering op-ed in The New York Times. He took readers through his observations of the steady deterioration of Iraqi society since the war began, but the most scathing words came toward the end. “No one knows for certain how many Iraqis have died as a result of the invasion 15 years ago,” Antoon wrote. “Some credible estimates put the number at more than one million. You can read that sentence again. The invasion of Iraq is often spoken of in the United States as a ‘blunder,’ or even a ‘colossal mistake.’ It was a crime. Those who perpetrated it are still at large.”

Warmongers in Congress Use Tik-Tok to Justify Aggression towards China: Last Thursday, a Congressional hearing took place where the TikTok CEO was grilled for five hours on the grounds of ‘security concerns.’ Ten years ago, Edward Snowden told the whole world the truth about the US global surveillance programs. If Congress cares about our digital privacy, it should first begin by investigating the surveillance policies of its own US agencies. The campaign against TikTok is a fear-mongering tactic to wage war on China. Unlike China as well as other Western countries, such as the EU, the US does not have any digital privacy laws on the federal level.

FBI sought to develop sources in Christian churches and Catholic dioceses to combat ‘domestic terrorism,’ documents show; FBI hit with subpoena for records by House Judiciary Committee: FBI planned to use churches as “new avenues for tripwire and source development. Based on the limited information produced by the FBI to the Committee, we now know that the FBI relied on at least one undercover agent to produce its analysis, and the FBI proposed that its agents engage in outreach to Catholic parishes to develop sources among the clergy and church leadership to inform on Americans practicing their faith,” Jordan wrote in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray on Monday.

A Front Company and a Fake Identity: How the U.S. Came to Use Spyware It Was Trying to Kill: The secret contract was finalized on Nov. 8, 2021, a deal between a company that has acted as a front for the United States government and the American affiliate of a notorious Israeli hacking firm. Under the arrangement, the Israeli firm, NSO Group, gave the U.S. government access to one of its most powerful weapons, a geolocation tool that can covertly track mobile phones around the world without the phone user’s knowledge or consent. Elements of America’s expansive national security apparatus in recent years have bought the weapons, deployed them against drug traffickers, and have quietly pushed to consolidate control of them into the hands of the United States and its closest allies.
