This post is poisonous! I liked it and was
1. Put through a bot challenge. I passed.
2. Deemed and labelled to be involved in "inauthentic behavior".
Maybe it's because I freely agree with good points from either side of the issue. On X, this is not to be tolerated! Image
This is how it shows when not logged in. Disgusted, to say it mildly. Image
I reported @x for targetted harrassment. I will hesitate to like posts in the future because of this attack.

The Palestinian Authority's Pay to Slay Scheme: Mahmoud Abbas's Ongoing Deception

The Palestinian Authority's "Pay to Slay" scheme has been a controversial program for many years. It involves paying monthly stipends to Arabs who are imprisoned in Israel for security offenses, as well as to the families of those killed during attacks. Critics argue that this system rewards violence and encourages more attacks against Israelis. The program is seen as a way for the Arab leadership to support those they view as fighters in their cause. Over time, it has drawn strong criticism from the United States and Israel, leading to laws that cut funding to the Palestinian Authority until the payments stop.
2/13

The scheme started in the early 2000s, based on a law passed by the PA in 2004. This law sets out rules for payments to prisoners and their families. The amounts depend on how long someone has been in prison or the type of action they took. For example, a prisoner might get a basic salary that increases over time, up to several thousand shekels per month. Families of those killed, often called "martyrs," also receive regular payments. The PA spends a large part of its budget on this, sometimes up to 7% or more, which comes from taxes and international aid.
3/13

Supporters of the program say it is a form of social welfare. They claim it helps families who have lost their main earners due to arrests or deaths. However, opponents point out that the payments are linked directly to the acts committed. The more serious the offense, like killing civilians, the higher the payment can be. This has led to accusations that it motivates people to carry out attacks. In the United States, a law called the Taylor Force Act was passed in 2018 to stop American aid from going to the Palestinian Authority until they end these payments. Taylor Force was an American killed in a jihadist “Palestinian” attack, and his family pushed for this change.

1)
Congressman Randy Fine of Florida was threatened this past week by Ambassador Al-Thani of Qatar. Congressman Fine has been active in Congress opposing Muslim terrorism and its sponsors.

Qatar threatened to mobilize their funds and Muslim Americans against Congressman Fine.
2)
Interference in U.S. politics, threatening a congressman, and trying to undermine the American political system directly by a foreign government that has a history of support for terrorist organizations and terrorism worldwide."

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "There are calls from some members of the Knesset, many Israeli citizens, and many Jews in the diaspora, that the State of Israel should extend sovereignty to Judea, Samaria and Gaza.
1)
Others are saying that Israel should annex those areas.

But, frankly, both are wrong.

Under International law, the State of Israel is sovereign in all the lands west of the River Jordan. That claim was established at San Remo in 1920.
2)
In 1949, when fighting stopped between the new State of Israel and its neighbors, Armistice Agreements were signed between Israel and Jordan and between Israel and Egypt, giving these Arab states custodial control over areas that they occupied at the end of fighting,

This isn't normal. It's disturbing. “If you find possible criminal behavior, send it to me…” this is politics masquerading as policing. A Sheriff is not supposed to recruit partisan internet vigilantes as evidence scouts.
What a tough guy @Swank4America is. Can't even sack up enough to send his own records request. What? Can't get a warrant Sheriff? No probable cause? What a joke.
A real sheriff doesn't go to social media and ask strangers to go fishing for criminal behavior. He drafts a warrant, subpoenas records, or opens an investigation inside a lawful chain of custody. But then, this isn't about Yambe or records is it?

1/ I'VE BEEN THINKING about Fed Gov Waller's Tuesday speech introducing "skinny Fed master accounts" for payment-only banks. (This is what @custodiabank proposed to the Fed in June 2020, but I digress.) This 🧵discusses implications for the banking system.

2/ I've previously predicted the bank trade associations will litigate the question of whether it's legal for trust companies to engage in deposit-taking activities (more on this below).

But, previously, I also asked a question--if the banks can't beat 'em, why not join 'em?
3/ This weekend I updated my database of disclosed capital requirements for OCC trust companies. Of the 35 chartered since 1997 with public disclosures, the most common capital requirement was $2-3 million. The median is $5m. Here's Anchorage's at $7m:

1/ THE HUNGARIAN REVOLUTION, DAY 4

69 years ago today, Hungary was engulfed in revolutionary fervour as the revolution that started in Budapest spread across the country. The previous day's massacre in Budapest had inflamed public opinion, leading thousands more to take up arms. Image
2/ By 26 October 1956, barricades have been erected in many parts of Budapest to block Soviet movements (the sign on this one says "RUSSIANS GO HOME"). Revolutionary insurgents continue to attack Soviet patrols with Molotov cocktails, adding to already heavy Soviet losses. Image
3/ Although the insurgents are only lightly armed, many have military training and increasing numbers of soldiers have joined them. They adopt ingenious means of deterring the Soviets, such as placing porcelain plates or frying pans on the streets to imitate anti-tank mines. Image

This is a diversion and it's got everyone saying "what an idiot!"

I will now remind everyone that the Mafias most profitable lines of business are: heroin/cocaine// oil/gas// weapons.

In the last weeks, Trump started talking about a "peace deal" that he also deserved a Nobel
Prize for. That was also a distraction; the "cover" for what he's really been up to.

Cambodia has a small part in cultivating opium, whereas Myanmar (Russia's ally), and Thailand grow a lot more. Cambodia wants to increase their share of the market.

Thailand and Cambodia had
a little war about this. And now Trump is there to make a deal along the likes of:

"Guys, c'mon, this market is big enough for all of us. Me and my Mafia friends can buy a lot more from each of you, but it's got to be a smoothly-run business. We can't have disruptions."
