Damn they copied your article two months before you published it!!!

I was hurt and surprised to discover that this column looks almost identical to the piece I published on 6/22 for @thejuggernaut.

My piece isn’t something you'd easily find online: it took days of archival work & conversations with researchers.

We've been quiet recently because Mark Goodwin and I have been working to write the most comprehensive investigation into Polymarket's origins and ambitions to date.

We found that Polymarket's "official" origin story, that Shayne Coplan founded the company alone in 2020 and then built "the company in his bathroom", is a lie. Polymarket really started years earlier as another company called TokenBnk that was deeply tied to Israeli interests, specifically a crypto company founded by Benjamin Netanyahu's niece and nephew. Coplan has actively tried to obfuscate this company from his story and it's not the only thing either.

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we unravel the real history of Polymarket, directly connecting the company to Peter Thiel's efforts to resurrect controversial DARPA programs from its now defunct Information Awareness Office. Polymarket appears to have been chosen by Thiel and his associates to succeed in resurrecting DARPA's Policy Analysis Market where another Thiel-linked company, Augur, had previously failed.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we explore the current influence of prediction markets and Polymarket, including how an insidious effort to have prediction markets replace representative democracy as a governance model is already being slowly implemented by the White House.

I think people have lost the will to try fact-check this guy due to the volume of lies he spreads.

Also it's actually pretty difficult with this image and quite time consuming.

It just happens I had nothing better to do. /1

Wat een spektakel gisteravond en afgelopen nacht. Ook vanaf het spoor zijn dit soort buien volop genieten. Deze beelden zijn vlak voor aankomst in Amsterdam gemaakt vanuit de laatste Eurocity Direct uit Brussel. Boven Amsterdam/Amstelveen is duidelijk een actieve buienkern met neerslagzuil zichtbaar.

Een nieuw record! Nog nooit zijn er op één dag zoveel ontladingen geregistreerd. In totaal werden maar liefst 301.137 geteld. Vorige record 29 mei 2018, toen 248.285 ontladingen geregistreerd. Het zal voor een groot CC geweest zijn en een kleiner deel CG. #onweer #codeoranje

⛈️ Wat een monster! En wat een nacht! Een groot onweerscomplex trok vannacht over ons heen, dat bijna heel Nederland wakker heeft gemaakt. Ik heb het #onweer tot in Groningen gevolgd: dit was mijn uitzicht vanochtend rond 5 uur op de zeedijk bij Delfzijl:

Iran claiming they’ve been delayed at airport due to “harassment” by US authorities of captain Mehdi Taremi and assistant manager Saeed Alhoei

Iran Football Federation said under the title “Harassment of Taremi and Alhoei at the Airport Again; Iran National Team Delayed”:

“While Iran’s national team is traveling to the United States for the third time, the team has once again been delayed at the airport due to issues caused by U.S. authorities.
“The members of Iran’s national football team arrived at the airport earlier today for their trip to face Egypt, but as on previous occasions, interference by the host nation, involving Saeed Alhoei and Mehdi Taremi has caused the team to be delayed at the airport.
“The rest of the squad is currently waiting for their coach and teammate to join them before departing for Seattle for the match against Egypt.”

- US White House Task Force say Iran flight was “on time” and even “a few minutes ahead of schedule”

De weerkaarten liegen er niet om aanstaande vrijdag! Gaat het toch weer gebeuren na 25 juli 2019? Een nieuw all-time #hitterecord voor ons land? Het is bijna niet voor te stellen, maar de modellen komen er keer op keer mee. #hittegolf #codeoranje

[NoodweerBenelux @NoodweerBenelux]

Output nieuwste weermodellen berekenen op vrijdag een scorching heat scenario over de Benelux. Maxima lijken op meerdere plaatsen 40°C aan te tikken met lokaal nog hogere waarden. Dit zou het record uit 2019 verpulveren. We monotoren op de weersituate op de voet, want ook de kans op onweer lijkt komende dagen te gaan stijgen. In combinatie met talrijke evenementen een potentieel (zeer) gevaarlijke setting. Apprecieer jij deze weerupdates?

Code oranje (19-06-2026) in de provincie Utrecht en wij zagen de turbinemast regelmatig zichtbaar bewegen.
Waarom heeft de Veiligheidsregio Utrecht @OdruUtrecht hier niet op geanticipeerd. Dit vormt een serieus veiligheidsrisico voor direct omwonenden.
Horror en angst, #terreurturbines

🚨 WOW! JD Vance is DIRECTLY calling out Israeli cabinet members for their personal attacks on President Trump

"Donald J. Trump is the ONLY head of state in the ENTIRE WORLD who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time, and he happens to be the head of state of the world superpower.

If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have ANYWHERE left in the entire world."

"The other thing that I would say is that over the last 3 months, TWO-THIRDS of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by AMERICAN HANDS and paid for by AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS.

The problem for Israel is not Donald J. Trump, and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the President of the United States needs to WAKE UP and smell the reality of the situation that country is in."

@crsanchezx Not true about Netherlands! Your career is limited if you don't speak Dutch. You can't get past a certain level unless you can speak Dutch unless you're an extraordinary talent

Indian telecom Reliance is sabotaging access to Telegram for millions of users OUTSIDE India (including the UAE) via a rogue method called BGP hijacking.

The sabotage seems intentional, as Reliance has ignored multiple reports.

This may be part of a competitive war, as Reliance is partially owned by Meta — the company behind WhatsApp.

Network operators are advised to reject unauthorized BGP announcements from Reliance (AS18101) to prevent route hijacks and ensure stable Internet access for their users.

Such abuse of global Internet routing is alarming. I wouldn’t be surprised if Reliance/WhatsApp were also behind the recent lobbying effort to ban Telegram in India.
