Forbes ’30 Under 30′ Mega Fraudsters
April 26th, 2023Via: New York Post:
Disgraced Frank founder Charlie Javice has joined the likes of Elizabeth Holmes and Sam Bankman-Fried on a growing list of founders to be lavished with honors by the financial news outlet Forbes – only to later face criminal fraud charges.
Forbes has faced relentless mockery on social media – with users pointing out the dubious record of business figures who have earned a spot on one of its “30 Under 30” lists or the cover of its magazine.
“The Forbes 30 Under 30 have collectively raised $5.3B in funding,” tech investor Chris Bakke tweeted on Tuesday. “The Forbes 30 Under 30 have also been arrested for frauds and scams worth over $18.5B. Incredible track record.”

April 26th, 2023“…even if RFK Jr. had widespread support—he doesn’t—the Democratic Party would simply screw him over.”

The Japanese probe Hakuto-R — which is about the size of a large refrigerator — will try to land in Atlas, an impact crater in the far north of the Moon, within the unexplored Mare Frigoris, or Sea of Cold. If it succeeds, it will not only become the first spacecraft to land in this area, but also the first private company to land on the lunar surface.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Wants a Law to Punish Global Warming Skeptics
April 25th, 2023The article below is from 2015, but it doesn’t matter, because, even if RFK Jr. had widespread support—he doesn’t—the Democratic Party would simply screw him over.
I don’t know if I have the energy to do this again, but, as per the quadrennial routine in the U.S., here’s what’s going to happen: After more than a year of heightened idiocracy (leading up to November 2024), Americans will be presented with a “choice” of the two most god awful, fully compromised presidential candidates imaginable.
Then, on election day, it will be time to choose wisely and then wear the pin.
If you’re looking for reasons to pick a candidate, any candidate, I would consider medical freedom and an anti-CBDC (central bank digital currency) stance to be minimums. If you agree, Kennedy is the only option so far. DeSantis is for medical freedom and against CBDC, but he isn’t running. (At least, not yet.) It’s hard to see how either of them will be on the ballots in November 2024.
As for Trump, he will always be Mr. Pfizer Warp Speed to me. Was he in on the Covid scam from the start, or was it incompetence? In either case, Trump is the front runner on the Republican side by a wide margin.
Last but not least, Joe Biden. 70% of Americans don’t want him to run, but he will be running, falling, stumbling and mumbling for re-election anyway.
Via: The Week:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in an interview that he wishes there were a law to “punish” people who are skeptical of or deny global warming.
“I don’t think there is a law that you can punish these politicians under,” Kennedy said, adding that skeptical politicians are “selling out the public trust.”
Kennedy was very critical of the conservative Koch Brothers and politicians who fail to act on climate change, calling them “contemptible human beings.” “Those guys are doing the Koch Brothers’ bidding and are against all the evidence of the rational mind, saying global warming does not exist,” he said.

“People Are Getting Plastic Surgery Now So They Can Try To Look Like These Filters”
April 24th, 2023I just emailed this to a friend with a teenage daughter who is a heavy Tiktok user. I thought Tiktok was mostly a bunch of short attention span nonsense, wasting people’s time. Nope. It’s much worse than that.
Names have been changed:
Hi John
I saw a disturbing video about TikTok. I remember you mentioning that Sarah used TikTok, so I thought that you should know about this.
I queued the long video to the part when the new filters are discussed at 42 min. 19 seconds:
In short, TikTok is using AI to change the way people look on that thing and it’s causing a variety of mental illnesses.
Maybe Sarah doesn’t use that thing anymore, but I thought I should warn you just in case.
Cheers
Kevin

Chinese Are All Over Afghan Lithium
April 23rd, 2023Via: ZeroHedge:
A Chinese company has offered the Taliban $10 billion and a proposal to build key strategic infrastructure connecting north-south Afghanistan in exchange for access to the country’s lithium reserves.
…
Darbey said the Chinese interest in the region is not new—in 2021, two Chinese companies were sent to Ghazni to conduct technical research and inspect lithium and goldmines.
While China’s lithium reserves are depleting, the Afghan deposits are unexploited. Five Chinese companies have set up their representative offices in Afghanistan, and around 20 Chinese companies have made inquiries about lithium projects, according to Darbey.
