Por un mundo mejor y más justo

[DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard]

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

Vice President JD Vance rebuked Israeli ministers attacking the Iran-U.S. agreement, saying President Trump is “the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel” and warning that Israel should not be criticizing “the only powerful ally” it has left.

Vance said Israeli officials should “wake up and smell the reality” of their country’s dependence on American support.

I lost to nothing. That is the tragedy of your position. One cannot lose an argument to a vacuum.

You do not defend freedom. You merely assert it. You invoke "society without intellectual property" as though repeating a slogan transforms it into a principle. It does not.

The Communist conception of reality begins with the belief that production exists independently of the producer. It treats creation as a social artifact rather than an individual achievement. The inventor creates, the writer writes, the engineer designs, and then someone arrives afterward to declare that the product belongs to everyone because enforcement requires institutions. That is not freedom. It is expropriation dressed in libertarian language.

More fundamentally, you cannot even define what you mean by freedom.

You imagine that people will simply "pay voluntarily," that reputation systems, private agreements, market mechanisms, and social norms will somehow replace legal protection. Yet every one of those systems is a form of governance. Every one requires rules. Every one requires enforcement. Every one requires adjudication. You have not abolished authority; you have merely privatized it while refusing to admit it exists.

This is the perpetual contradiction of anarchism. Its advocates announce the end of government and then spend the next hour describing alternative institutions that perform governmental functions under different names.

A contract is governance.

A private arbitration system is governance.

A reputation network is governance.

A licensing framework is governance.

The question is never whether governance exists. The question is who creates the rules, under what authority, and for what purpose.

Property rights are not an arbitrary imposition upon freedom. They are the recognition that a human being owns the product of his mind and labor. Without that principle, there is no rational basis for ownership of anything. If one may appropriate an invention because ideas can be copied, then one may appropriate any value produced by another whenever doing so is convenient.

You continue to argue that a world without intellectual property would be more free. History provides no evidence for this proposition. What it demonstrates is that creators cease investing when their creations can be appropriated without consequence. Civilization advances because minds create value and because societies recognize the right of those minds to benefit from what they create.

Anarchy has been proposed for centuries. Every generation rediscovers it with the same confidence. Every generation ignores the same flaw: human beings do not cease having conflicts merely because someone declares authority abolished.

The rules do not disappear.

The institutions do not disappear.

The need for enforcement does not disappear.

Only accountability disappears.

That is not freedom. It is governance without responsibility, authority without legitimacy, and power without acknowledgment. The fact that it has failed every time it has been attempted should not be surprising. It rests on the fantasy that human nature changes when political labels change.

It does not.

⭕️ REPORT | After 61 House Democrats urged the Trump administration this week to pressure Israel to allow Gaza’s 11,000 cancer patients to reach hospitals in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, Israel kept the Rafah Crossing closed Friday, leaving thousands of patients trapped in Gaza. Only 12 of the agreed 600 aid trucks were allowed to enter the Strip and no fuel deliveries were permitted for Gaza’s collapsed medical system.

Israeli forces have carried out at least 3,256 ceasefire violations across Gaza since the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement was reached last October, according to a report shared by the Palestinian side with mediators and obtained by Drop Site News.

In that time, Israeli attacks have killed 989 Palestinians and wounded 3,122 others. Friday alone saw 18 reported violations and 8 Palestinians wounded.

🔹 Israeli quadcopter drones opened intensive fire at civilian homes near Al-Sanafour Junction and dropped bombs on streets east of Gaza City
🔹 Artillery shell landed inside Abu Hussein School in North Gaza, wounding several civilians
🔹 Mohammad Rani Wadi, 12, shot in the left eye by an Israeli quadcopter drone on Roni Street in Khan Younis
🔹 Omar Al-Madhoun, 8, shot in the foot by armed militias operating under Israeli army protection in Mashrou' Beit Lahiya
🔹 Large-scale explosive demolitions of buildings east of Khan Younis, northeast of Jabalia Camp, and east of Jabalia
🔹 Israeli army vehicles carried out a military incursion into Al-Mansoura Street in Al-Shuja'iya neighborhood, with intensive live fire and continuous artillery shelling
🔹 Israeli army vehicles advanced and expanded the "Yellow Line" along Salah Al-Deen Street in Al-Tuffah neighborhood

Since the ceasefire took effect, 989 Palestinians have been killed — including 236 children, 110 women, and 30 elderly — and 3,122 wounded, of whom nearly half are children, women, or elderly. 95 civilians have also been detained.

Israel also continues to hold approximately 34 square kilometers beyond agreed withdrawal lines and has blocked repairs to electricity, water, and sewage infrastructure. Aid and movement restrictions remain severe:

Aid entry
▪️ Only ~36% of agreed humanitarian aid has entered — ~216 trucks per day vs. 600 agreed
▪️ Fuel deliveries at just 14.7% of required levels

Rafah crossing
▪️ Only 6,845 of 19,600 planned crossings carried out (~34.9%)
▪️ 88 individuals turned back at the crossing on the reported day

The WFP estimates 77% of Gaza's population faces acute food insecurity, including 100,000 children and 37,000 pregnant women suffering from acute malnutrition — amid what MSF in May 2026 described as a "manufactured malnutrition crisis."

Craft of Verse lectures by Jorge Luis Borges: an intimate, witty, and deeply philosophical look at his relationship with literature. He approached literature with immense humility, arguing that reading should be a source of pure emotional joy rather than intellectual dissection. https://t.co/MhfEuO0MhK

WOW.

AlJazeera just dropped a ONE HOUR documentary about ISRAEL’s CRIMES against the PALESTINIANS.

This is very HARD TO WATCH.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

This is a very important interview.

There are far too many unanswered questions about the assassination attempts against President Trump, we must continue to press for the truth.

It is okay to be Jewish.

It is okay to attend your local synagogue.

It is okay to celebrate Hannukah.

It is not okay to use white phosphorus on civilians in Gaza and Lebanon.

[S Tominaga (Aka Dr Craig Wright) @CsTominaga]

I know. It is generally me.

I have a whole paid troll army.

There is an industry worth about $25 million US dollars a year dedicated to attacking me and funding detractors. Literally.

You do not spend $25 million US a year unless you regard someone as a serious threat.

People keep trying to explain it away with theories about vocabulary, writing style, response times, or whatever the fashionable excuse happens to be this week.

The simpler explanation is that there are organisations that have spent years and millions of dollars trying to discredit me.

Nobody spends that sort of money because they are unconcerned.

Nobody allocates that sort of budget because they think someone is irrelevant.

You spend that sort of money because you believe the person matters.

The Israeli army shot dead a 7-month-old Palestinian baby in the West Bank.

It was in broad daylight.

The father says:

"I stopped as I was instructed to, and then they simply shot at the car."

Israel routinely kills babies - and the West is silent.

[S Tominaga (Aka Dr Craig Wright) @CsTominaga]

BTC’s systemic relevance does not arise from its technological content. It arises from the financial structures built around it: listed treasury accumulation, ETF redemption flows, collateralised leverage, miner credit, market-maker balance sheets, and correlated non-bank exposures. A sustained BTC price impairment therefore operates less like an isolated asset-price decline and more like a non-bank collateral shock with fire-sale potential.

Russian civilization is European civilization.

The Russian language is Indo-European. The Russian literary tradition - Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Pushkin, Chekhov - is part of the same Western conversation that produced Shakespeare, Milton, and Hawthorne. Dostoevsky was writing theology in the form of novels, wrestling with the same questions about human nature and redemption that have animated Christian civilization from Augustine forward. The Brothers Karamazov is not a foreign text to a Christian reader. It is home territory.

Russian music fills American concert halls. Tchaikovsky. Rachmaninoff. Shostakovich. American students learn about Russian contributions to mathematics and physics. The periodic table was systematized by Dmitri Mendeleev. Russian and American engineers worked side by side at the International Space Station for decades. These are not the cultural markers of civilizational foreignness. These are the markers of a shared inheritance.

Israeli culture is none of those things. It’s mostly new, not ancient, and fabricated. Its language, modern “Hebrew,” is a 20th-century bastard tongue that combines a mishmash of Eastern European tongues, Polish, German, Arabic, Ladino, English, and Russian, with Yiddish, and has European syntax. The sentence structure follows patterns native to Yiddish and Standard Average European grammar rather than the Semitic structures of Biblical Hebrew. The emphatic and pharyngeal consonants of ancient Hebrew, sounds fundamental to authentic Semitic speech, were dropped entirely because the Ashkenazi founders could not produce them, having grown up speaking Germanic and Slavic languages where those sounds do not occur. What survived from Biblical Hebrew was largely the lexical skeleton and the consonantal root system, onto which European grammatical logic was grafted. The people who assembled this language were Lithuanians, Russians, and Poles who had not spoken a Semitic language natively in roughly fifteen centuries, building a national tongue for a state that would claim an unbroken connection to the ancient land whose actual language they could not reproduce. Russian has been spoken continuously by the Russian people for over a thousand years without interruption or reconstruction. Modern Hebrew is a nineteenth-century European linguistic project wearing a biblical costume. The Israeli people speak a language that is younger than the United States Constitution.

Their culture is contrived, as well. Its religion is younger than Christianity, with some of its key doctrines and parts of its Holy Writ dating to nearly 600 years later, and developed as a hostile, polemical response to Christianity rather than in fidelity to it. It is not as ancient as advertised and has undergone continuous revision, especially in the Middle Ages, but even today.

Even their surnames are completely contrived, made up out of thin air, with absolutely no real tie to any ancient Levantine culture. David Ben-Gurion, the founding father of the Israeli state, was born David Grün in Płońsk. Golda Meir, Israel’s first female prime minister, was born Golda Mabovitch. Moshe Sharett, Israel’s first foreign minister, was born Moshe Chertok. Levi Eshkol, the third prime minister, was born Levi Shkolnik. Yitzhak Rabin’s father was born Nehemiah Rubitzov. Israel’s first ambassador to the United States was Eliyahu Epstein, who became Eliyahu Eilat. Benjamin Netanyahu’s father, Benzion, was born Mileikowsky in Warsaw and changed the family name upon arriving in Mandatory Palestine.

The founders of Israel were Poles, Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians who arrived, shed their European surnames, put on Hebrew ones, built a state, and then spent the next seventy-five years insisting they had come home.

Russian culture might differ from that of the Western Europeans who founded the United States, but at least it is real.

Call me a fraud if you wish.

Call me a liar.

Call me delusional.

Call me whatever makes you feel comfortable.

The interesting thing is that none of those words matter once the code exists.

For years, many people have focused on stopping me, discrediting me, attacking me, censoring me, misrepresenting me, and preventing anything I was working on from ever seeing the light of day.

At one stage that may have worked.

At one stage much of this existed only in my head, in notebooks, in designs, in unfinished code, in prototypes, in ideas that had not yet become reality.

Ideas can be delayed.

Ideas can be suppressed.

Ideas can be ridiculed.

What becomes much harder to stop is a working system.

This month the code goes public.

Not a promise.

Not a roadmap.

Not a marketing presentation.

Code.

Working systems.

Architectures.

Protocols.

Implementations.

People will be free to inspect it, analyse it, criticise it, improve it, fork it, extend it, or ignore it.

That choice will belong to them.

The thing that many people seem unable to understand is that I am not asking anyone for money.

I am not selling access.

I am not selling licences.

I am not selling permission.

I am not creating a gatekeeper.

I am releasing it.

Free.

The irony is that this is the part many people will find hardest to believe.

Not the cryptography.

Not the distributed threshold systems.

Not the digital possession model.

Not the ability to create truly scarce digital goods.

The hardest thing for many people to understand is that after spending years building it, I am simply giving it away.

And that is why it is already too late to stop.

A secret can be suppressed.

An unpublished idea can be buried.

A prototype can be hidden.

A public implementation cannot be uninvented.

Once the code exists in the open, it belongs to history.

From that point onward, the question is no longer whether it can be stopped.

The question becomes what the world chooses to build with it.

Civilisation is built upon property.

That statement makes many people uncomfortable because they prefer to imagine that wealth comes from wishes, declarations, politics, or collective desires.

It does not.

Wealth comes from production.

Production requires ownership.

Ownership requires property.

Property requires the ability to exclude others from what you have created.

The digital world has always lacked this final element.

We digitised communication.

We digitised finance.

We digitised publishing.

We digitised commerce.

Yet ownership remained fundamentally physical.

If true digital scarcity has been achieved, then for the first time humanity possesses a mechanism for creating digital objects that behave economically like physical objects.

Not copies.

Not representations.

Not claims.

Objects.

Unique, transferable, ownable assets with a verifiable chain of possession.

People will focus on collectables because that is what people always do first.

They will be looking in the wrong direction.

The real impact will be in finance, science, publishing, law, engineering, intelligence, and every field where information itself possesses value.

The day information becomes property is the day entirely new industries begin.
