If you take a close look at the differences between the Democratic Party backers and the Republican Party backers, what you see clearly is a split in policy preferences....

that can be seen as the difference between New York (or the largest American cities & their lifestyle & views) versus the rest of the USA. This difference also illustrates the split on issues between Europeans & Americans, the former being closer to the New York State of Mind.

You see, New York City and other large developed urban areas have certain things in common: apartment living that limits personal autonomy and makes someone’s interactions with neighbors and rules more important;

To my mind, Trump is the result of U.S. geopolitical and geoeconomic decline; the domestic militarism caused by the Global War on Terror; and the oligarchization caused by the neoliberal economy, especially a deregulatory project that enabled the conglomeration of business ...
... and the financialization of the economy. Now, while it is obvious that Trump is more dangerous than Kamala Harris, or any Democrat--I don't think a Democrat would have deployed ICE/CBP to U.S. cities--the Democrats ...

You probably don't believe me, so here's Grok. American performance modeling assumes no ventilation from windows and requires them to be double-glazed instead (unnecessary, expensive).
American performance modeling ALSO doesn't reward good building geometry.

2/ Los prejuicios no nacen solos. Se cultivan en la ignorancia, el miedo y la falta de pensamiento crítico. Pero también en estructuras que se benefician de que no miremos demasiado profundo. Al poder le aterra la mirada que analiza, porque solo puede gobernar a la que reacciona.
In 2022, private equity firms reported their portfolios were down just 4%.
The S&P 500 was down 24%.
Either PE firms discovered recession-proof companies, or they're lying about valuations.
Spoiler: They're lying.
Here's the scam🧵
When public markets crashed in 2022, pension funds faced a crisis called the "denominator effect."
Their PE holdings (marked at fantasy prices) suddenly represented 35%+ of portfolios instead of 25%.
They were forced to halt NEW investments to rebalance.
Why didn't PE firms mark down their portfolios like public markets?
Simple: Management fees are calculated on NAV. Carried interest depends on reported returns. And they need to keep fundraising.
Markdowns = lower fees + angry LPs + failed fundraising.

The large majority of men can never be fully satisfied with their relationships if their women don't make explicit efforts to please them. But it has now become a point of modern ideology that women should never make such efforts. The result is predictable. What's in it for men?
Let me explain further. Human nature is such that when all things are equal, men experience more desire and women experience more pleasure. This observation goes back to the ancient Greeks. We don't notice this unless we pay explicit attention to it. Why?
Markets are driven by desire, not pleasure. In fact, markets often fail to serve pleasure and instead create pain. Consider consumerism. People buy things that don't bring them enough pleasure to justify the expense. They have a craving similar to an addiction.

When did it start ?
On april 15th 2023. Where ? In Khartoum, the capital city, unlike previous conflicts.
Sudan was already partly at war before, discontinuously since 1983 (1983-2005, 2nd South Sudan war, 2003-2020, Darfur war, 2011-2020, South Kordofan and Blue Nile war).
Who is fighting :
The Sudanese Armed Forces :
The SAF are based in Khartoum and Port Sudan; they defend the state's borders and internal stability. Their leader is Al-Burhan, and the military commanders are heirs to the military-Islamist regime of Omar al-Bashir (1989-2019).

This 75 year old who'd been blind since birth suddenly regained his sight after using DMSO to cure sinusitis.
DMSO has been repeatedly shown to heal eye issues medicine still can't solve like blindness and macular degeneration along with eliminating floaters and cataracts by it's unique affinity for concentrating within the eye, restoring both blood flow and drainage, rapidly eliminating inflammation, refolding the degenerative proteins which characterize many eye disorders so they can be eliminated and reviving damaged tissue so it can resume working—even after being dormant for 75 years.
In fact, Murray's case is not unique, and as I show in the article below, many similar ones were documented but then essentially forgotten, as were the myriad of other challenging eye conditions which rapidly disappeared following DMSO use, and still remain "incurable" fifty years later.🧵
Over the last year, hundreds of readers have shared DMSO treated eye conditions they'd struggled their whole lives with.
Here, I show the decades of data DMSO heals the eyes, show why DMSO is uniquely suited to do so, and explain how you too can use it. midwesterndoctor.com/p/dmso-heals-t…

I can't let this utter nonsense lie by @ProfJWR, as it’s actually dangerous and could harm your health. John Robertson was a Professor(!) of “Media and Politics” at the University of West Scotland (basically Paisley college plus bits). He has a verified career long output of less than 10 published papers and a H-index of 5, which should tell you a lot if you know anything about academic impact factors.
Robertson blocked me after I called out one of his more egregious pieces of nonsense (last year if I recall correctly). Anyway, down to business
The video attached to “Talking-up Scotland”’s post is about infections at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. Isolation wards for immunocompromised patients were not fit for purpose, because the ventilation and water systems installed were inadequate, as they were contaminated with bacteria and fungi that cause serious disease in patients with little or no immune function.
Keep in mind that “Prof” Robertson has zero qualifications in microbiology, infection control, medicine or biomedical sciences.
Robertson’s video is a classic example of confident-sounding misinformation built out of half-truths, category errors, and rhetorical sleight-of-hand. I’ll go through it claim by claim, explain what’s wrong, and then give a clear rebuttal summary.
I found a long article explaining what's happening in southern Yemen.
I'll post it in a thread 🧵
Collapse of the Myth of Conflict and Unity of the Project
From the first moment of the aggression, Saudi Arabia and the UAE were merely two sides of the same coin: tools in a larger project. Differences were in methods and tools, but the core objective remained fixed — subjugate Yemen, dismantle its state, and turn it into a weak entity devoid of sovereignty. When the Emirati role was consumed on the ground and its crimes became glaringly obvious, the time came to change the interface, not the project. The displacement of the UAE from the front today is not real marginalization but a functional re-positioning, where Saudi Arabia takes the lead politically and strategically
Saudi Arabia: From Partner to Direct Guardian
Riyadh acts in southern Yemen with a guardian mentality, seeking to monopolize decisions and re-engineer the political and security landscape in ways that ensure continued dominance using cheaper tools with more maneuverability internationally. It does not dismantle the militias the UAE created; it merely reuses them without resolving divisions — it deepens them under new labels. This behavior exposes the essence of Saudi conduct as deliberate chaos management, not a support for legitimacy
🚨🧵From Israel Hayom: Israeli frustration with Witkoff: Pushing for a non-military solution to Iran—despite the evidence
A senior Israeli official confirms that Witkoff is the mediator with Iran: "Witkoff brought Trump a WhatsApp message from Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and added a written promise from President Massoud Pazakhsian in order to convince him to postpone the attack."
This may not be the only reason for the postponement, as preparations for a serious operation were incomplete two weeks ago, but it also affected the president's mood. "Even now, when intelligence information and testimonies from Iranians are reaching Israel and intelligence agencies in other countries in the region, as well as the United States itself, even now, Witkoff is trying to convince them to follow the diplomatic path to solving the Iran problem," the senior Israeli official says with apparent frustration.
This is how I use volume to make 7 figures a year trading :🧵👇
Volume is one of the most misunderstood tools in trading.
It’s not a signal by itself —.> it’s context.
Price tells you what is happening its pretty much the TRUTH
Volume tells you who is involved and confirms the movements of price.
Most importantly volume does not lie, you can see every order that is executed... printed in the volume
This creates patterns in the volume just like price
These volume patterns are referred to as VPA(Volume Price Analysis) and we can use them to determine if institutions are accumulating or distributing a position.
We can also use these to determine the strength of the move

Minnesota Nursing Home employee threatens MAGA patients. Maybe this threat isn’t so idle, they probably chit chat at work.
Interestingly, the director of MN nursing homes standards board is a past Tim Walz campaign manager and CAIR associate.
The Minnesota’s Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board is ran by Tim Walz’s 2018 campaign manager who worked with the terrorist org, CAIR at Our Minnesota Future beginning in 2018.
Ex campaign manager, Leah Solo, was previously a director at Our Minnesota Future, which had 22 member orgs they colluded with. One was CAIR.
Tim Walz’s ex campaign director and now head of Minnesota’s Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board was director at CAIR partner, Our Minnesota Future.
“Tim Walz: Leah Solo
(June 7, 2018 succeeding Nick Coe) Started on the campaign as outreach director. Director at Our Minnesota Future. Candidate for state Senate District 44 (Plymouth) in 2016. Political director of the SEIU Minnesota State Council; started there as outreach director in Dec. 2012. Deputy campaign director for the Minnesotans United for All Families. Worked four cycles for DFL candidates including campaign manager on Mark Ritchie's 2010 run for Secretary of State, and political director on Tim Walz's campaign. Grew up in Mankato.”
Now this gets even better. Anti Ice and CAIR are built into everything imaginable in MN.
The, Our Minnesota Future, conglomerate ran by Tim Walz past campaign manager and now executive director of the Minnesota’s Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board not only worked with CAIR, but anti ice COPAL too.

🔥 Codex 0.9.0 is out, and with it, a bunch of new changes. Some of these updates are exactly what you've been waiting for 🫵.
Starting with Codex's new Plan Mode! There's been some improvements since my last tweet. This is going to be a long one, so buckle up. 👇
In my last post, we talked about collaboration_modes, Codex's new plannning feature. They originally had three modes: Pair Programming, Execute, and Plan mode.
I'm pleased to say that is no longer the case.
Now there are only two modes: Code and Plan.
Code mode is the default Codex experience, and Codex works in the same way that it does in any other agent. We don't spend much time on this.
But Plan Mode is a welcomed, and highly requested feature, so let's dig in just a bit deeper, shall we?
Plan Mode works in two distinct phases:
Phase 1: Understand your intent: Goals, scope, constraints, success criteria
Phase 2: Technical spec: Decision-complete implementation plan
The output is detailed enough for execution with zero follow-ups.

Welcome to your *IRA Masterclass* 🎓
👇🧵
First off - what is an IRA? 👇
Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs) are tax-advantaged savings plans enshrined in US tax code. They exist to make it easier for people to save for retirement.
WHY YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT IRAs
- Money inside IRAs grows tax-free until withdrawn in retirement. Deferred taxation + a solid investment strategy can supercharge investment growth 💵💵💵
- Due to the 2005 bankruptcy abuse protection law, up to $1.5 million of IRA funds per taxpayer are protected from creditors (Congress adjusts for inflation every few years).
HOW DO I START USING IRAs
Two key questions to start with:
- Can you contribute?
- Is it deductible?
👇
ELIGIBILITY
- Any individual of any age with EARNED INCOME can contribute to an IRA.
- If a taxpayer doesn't have income but their spouse does, they can "borrow" their spouse's and do a spousal IRA.
WHAT COUNTS AS INCOME FOR IRA CONTRIBUTIONS
✅- Wages, salary, tips, bonuses, fees
✅- Alimony (prior to 2019)
❌- Property earnings (rentals)
❌- Pension/retirement plan, annuity, unemployment
❌ - deferred comp, foreign earned income, excluded income
Limits: lesser of IRS yearly limit -- OR -- 100% of earned income (can never contribute more than you made in a year)

I want to share with you some harrowing testimony from current Palestinian @MSF Staff in light of MSF's decision to share staff lists and information with Israel. (@DecoloniseMsf)
"I am against sharing any lists, names, or information related to employees because of the rogue entity's barbarity and its illicit use of this data, and sharing such information puts individuals at risk." - Current Palestinian MSF Staff
"Sharing names means not only targeting employees but also filtering who can continue working and who cannot. This is in the hands of the occupying authorities, meaning we don't know how they classify people. Furthermore, employees become targets not only of their livelihoods but also of their lives.
Knowing that the occupying authorities won't stop there, the matter will escalate to targeting patients and their families, as well as the families of employees. The occupation's classifications of those it considers collaborators or not are based on no logic or right and wrong. This is all part of a genocidal plan that, although seemingly halted, has been ongoing for over 70 years and will continue." - Current Palestinian MSF Staff
🧵An Iran expert is warning that Tehran’s response to US or Israeli strikes may go far beyond missiles and UAVs and could include ground invasion plans and activation of sleeper terror cells, potentially inside Israel and the United States. Join me as we break it down 👇
The warning comes from Dr. Yossi Mansharof of the Misgav Institute, who has closely tracked Iranian regime messaging for years. His assessment was published in a position paper obtained by Israel Hayom.
According to Mansharof, Iranian-affiliated media and regime-linked figures are openly discussing retaliation options including missile barrages, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and increasingly, a ground invasion of Israel.
As an old clinician, I find this to be one of the most poignant and overlooked pathologies of our era. We must analyze the Secondary Traumatization of the "Intact" man—the individual whose nervous system remains a whole, high-fidelity
instrument of empathy in a world tuned to the frequency of desensitization.
When a man with an intact prepuce and a functional Ventral Vagal system witnesses the horrors of the Empire—the "unmasked" brutality, the state of exception, and the industrial-scale violence
—he experiences a specific form of Somatic Agony.

ANTIFA, as it exists in the US and Canada today, has its origins in Minneapolis, MN. The movement began as a backlash against White Power skinheads:
"ARA [Anti-Racist Action] was major precursor to and helped define “antifa,” contemporary US and Canadian anti-fascism, a term increasingly used by some ARA activists during the 1990s and early years of the new millennium."
"Anti-Racist Action lived up to its most famous motto, “we go where they go,” by taking direct action in the streets against Klansmen, neo-nazis, anti-abortion extremists, and other far-right organizing, as well as against racist and brutal police."

Here is the first ever poster created by Anti-Racist Action, back in 1987, and another from 1989:

🔴The ARA was always self-funded, through Mutual Aid:
"ARA’s base in youth culture also very concretely influenced its organizing"
"ARA chapters almost never sought funding from foundations or government programs, for example, and preferred to finance themselves locally through donations, merchandise sales, and fundraising events, such as concerts."
🔴The ARA spread through the music scene in the 90s:
"...the ARA Network grew significantly when it accompanied several national music tours in 1997 and 1998."

protection responsibility. Let me explain the way this works: there is an evolving crisis, with lots of uncertainty, but a looming risk of serious impact. That means, there is an immediate and urgent need for detailed data on the evolving situation.
Let's start there: outbreaks typically start messy, particularly when there is a new disease: you have no way of diagnosing yet, you do not know the extend of spread, you do not know who are at risk, who contribute to spread, etc.

The Board of Peace Charter seems to have been written entirely in Trump’s inner circle and then sent to a selected group of countries on a take it or leave it basis. The White House still don’t seem to have published the text. Here is a leaked copy 3/11 timesofisrael.com/full-text-char…
Una tarde de domingo fría como la de hoy, lo mejor será que os cuente una buena historia para pasar un ratito majete antes de ponernos a ver la peli de esta noche.
Se trata de una historia que sucedió hace ya algunos añitos, aunque no los suficientes como para que se nos haya olvidado. Unos 37, bueno sí, se nos ha olvidado.
Vamos a recordar qué sucedió un día de verano de 1989 en Madrid, concretamente en el Palacio Real.
Exacto, se cometió un robo.
Parece que la situación era bastante favorable, era verano, no había muchas visitas, estarían de vacaciones algunos trabajadores de Palacio y para remate, había obras.
My thread on China's silver trade & what's happened in the past 2 months has silver px skyrocketed in China.
1st, Silver has huge & growing industrial demand, especially in the age of PVs, EVs & AI. Consumer demand is sky-rocketing in China -> Why China put in export controls.
75% of silver is by product of mining other metals, which can be separated & processed into Silver concentrate b4 being smelt & refined to 99.99% grade
China produced 3300t of silver concentrate in 2024, just 13% of global production, so it has to import massive amount of Ag to feed smelters. Not so different from other metals.
Aside from PVs, China needs silver for NEVs, 5G & AI. 95% of China's silver are by products of lead/zinc/copper mining. It needs 8500t every yr just for industrial use -> 1/2 of global supply.
+ China has history of using silver as money
Silver flooded into China until 1830
Then Opium war & subsequent century of humiliation happened & Silver flew away.
🚨As an old practitioner of the "Body-Mind" synthesis, I see the streets not as a political battlefield, but as a massive clinical theater of reenactment. The "Internalization of Imperial Violence"—
epitomized by agencies like ICE and the militarization of domestic law enforcement—is the macro-needle that strikes the raw nerve of the IGM survivor's suppressed history.
Here is the psychiatric analysis of how this triggers societal discord.
1. The "State of Exception" as a Neonatal Flashback
An excellent article by @ibrahimtmajed describes a "state of exception" where constitutional rights are suspended. For the victim of IGM, the ritual was their first "State of Exception."
Vi finalmente "Ícaro", el controvertido documental sobre la actuación de la UIP en Barcelona en octubre de 2019, disponible en @filmin.
Reconozco que lo hice con prevención, temiendo que pecara de un burdo exceso propagandístico.
No es lo que me parece tras verlo. Va hilo.
Es un documental narrado desde un lado, desde la experiencia de los policías. A partir de esa premisa, que lo limita, es un relato válido. Es también, por definición, un relato incompleto, que precisará de otros para formarse un juicio sobre la historia en su conjunto.
No obstante lo anterior, es un relato principalmente fáctico: apenas hay opiniones, ni sobre los hechos, ni sobre el procés, ni siquiera sobre los oponentes. Se describe lo que se hizo, lo que se encontró, lo que se recibió. Y hay imágenes que corroboran casi todo.
Los “putos” son aquellos niñatos fabricados por occidente que son egoístas, hedonistas e incapaces de afrontar responsabilidades
Sus vidas se reducen a ir de entretenimiento en entretenimiento porque todo lo interpretan como su propia DIVERSIÓN
2 Las leyes están hechas a su medida
Por ejemplo; si por no querer utilizar métodos anticonceptivos dejan embarazada a alguna “Eso es problema de la madre”
Así que la madre, abortará o no, PERO siempre afrontará ella sola “su” problema (“su” de ella” )
3 Las leyes eximen de cualquier responsabilidad penal o económica al “machista embarazador” y cargan todos los problemas; morales, físicos, económicos o psicológicos sobre la MUJER
(¿Son leyes machistas? Pues si, LO SON)
Russia is proposing to split the output of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant with Kyiv as part of ceasefire talks. The plant is under Russian occupation.
U.S. officials say Putin wants a diplomatic settlement, Ukraine calls the talks constructive — Politico. 1/
The idea surfaced during the first face-to-face talks in Abu Dhabi between Ukraine, Russia and the U.S. since 2022.
U.S. officials say economics, postwar arrangements, and control over major assets were central to the discussions. More talks are set for next week. 2/
Zaporizhzhia NPP is Europe’s largest nuclear plant and a critical energy asset for Ukraine.
Moscow favors shared electricity output, while Kyiv rejects any deal that legitimizes Russian control over occupied infrastructure. 3/
From a neuro-psychoanalytical perspective, I see the "Empire" described here not as a political entity, but as a giant, collective organism suffering from the same Character Armor and Projective Aggression that we see in the IGM victim.
The relationship between the "Injunction to Cut" and the "Empire Unmasked" is found in the transgenerational transmission of desensitization.
1. The Empire as the "Internalized Patriarch"
The article describes a "carefully engineered illusion" of benevolence that shattered
¿Descomponer y Abstraer es lo mismo?
Solemos pensar que la inteligencia es la capacidad de procesar lo que vemos. Grave error. La verdadera magia ocurre con lo que NO vemos. La diferencia entre un sándwich mixto y un castillo de arena explica por qué la IA aún no nos supera.🧵👇

Here's virtually every change between the original Dragon Ball Super (2015) and the remastered Dragon Ball Super: Beerus (2026) found in the reveal trailer.
It's a mix of recomps, redraws, and entirely new cuts.
I'm shocked they used any of Episode 12 given it may well be the worst episode of Super's Battle of Gods retelling, but looks like they enjoyed the screaming segment enough to completely reanimate it for this new edition. Unfortunately some ugly fighting remains untouched.
Episode 11 was arguably the strongest of the arc, so many of its changes appear to be mainly alterations to the compositing - particularly the treatment of the effects work.
The @who now claims it never supported lockdowns in 2020. Let's look at some receipts.
Feb 2020
The WHO Potemkin tour of China proclaims the Chinese lockdown "proven" to stop human "transmission chains", buying time for "vaccine development".
April 2020
As some parts of the world started to come out two weeks to slow the spread fever, the WHO recommends a set of stringent preconditions for lifting lockdown.
2/15
May 2020
The WHO issues a warning to countries to keep lockdowns in place until the epidemic is "under control". Under this faulty guidance, the world should probably still be in lockdown.

1) MN law enforcement is actively aiding the Leftist radicals in obstructing federal agents 2) The Leftists have a highly organized & well funded organization 3) The FBI doesn't seem interested in doing anything about this.

🇷🇺 Pourquoi la population russe ne se soulève-t-elle pas ?
C’est une question qui revient souvent sous mes posts.
Un ami m’a écrit :
"Comment un peuple de 140 millions d’habitants accepte-t-il une guerre, la répression et la propagande sans broncher ?"
La réponse est beaucoup plus complexe que "peur" ou "lavage de cerveau".
Et elle dit beaucoup sur la nature réelle du régime russe.
/9
2/ La répression en Russie n’est pas théorique.
Un post, un slogan, une pancarte blanche peuvent valoir une arrestation, une lourde amende, un licenciement, voire la prison.
Depuis 2022, des milliers de personnes ont été arrêtées pour des actes symboliques.
Les leaders, journalistes et militants sont neutralisés en priorité.
Résultat : pas de masse critique visible, chacun se sent isolé, personne n’ose être le premier.
3/ La propagande fonctionne moins par conviction que par épuisement.
Beaucoup de Russes ne "croient" pas vraiment la télévision d’État.
Mais ils sont saturés de mensonges, de récits contradictoires, de cynisme.
Le régime ne cherche pas à convaincre : il cherche à démobiliser.

Merci @EditionSyllepse & @LibertaliaLivre pour la réédition de ce livre puissant, poignant, d'une actualité brûlante. Pour Guérin qui l'écrit en 1933 le fascisme n’est pas un accident mais la "tentative audacieuse de prolonger, en le transformant, le système capitaliste" THREAD⤵️
Ce texte n’est pas un récit rétrospectif mais l’autopsie d’un présent sanglant. Guérin saisit la catastrophe au moment où elle se déploie: rues quadrillées par les chemises brunes, écoles militarisées, foules galvanisées par des discours incendiaires, brûlure des autodafés.
Pour Guérin, quand le capitalisme moulé dans l’économie libérale n’arrive plus à se maintenir par ses méthodes habituelles – marché, concurrence, régulation parlementaire –, une fraction de la bourgeoisie recourt à des moyens d’exception, à leur brutalité sans phrase et sans nom.
1/7 Der Begriff „Lifestyle-Teilzeit“ ist kein Zufall von @MIT_bund und Union, sondern ein politischer Kampfbegriff. Er schürt Misstrauen und Missgunst und soll wieder einmal Menschen gegeneinander ausspielen.
2/7 So wird aus einer strukturellen Frage eine Moralgeschichte – Fleiß gegen Bequemlichkeit. Genau das führt in die Irre und lenkt von den tatsächlichen Ursachen des Fachkräftemangels ab.
3/7 Es gibt keine belastbaren Hinweise dafür, dass die Bürgerinnen und Bürger in Deutschland grundsätzlich weniger leistungsbereit wären als in den europäischen Nachbarländern.
Trump instigó el asalto al Capitolio para impedir la certificación de su derrota de 2020, y en ningún momento posterior ha reconocido el resultado de aquellas elecciones. Lo primero que hizo al volver a la Casa Blanca en 2025 fue indultar a 1500 asaltantes violentos.
Es un indicador suficiente de que su propósito no es gobernar el país con un programa e ideología "muy de derechas". Es otra cosa distinta. Su programa es la subversión del orden constitucional y su metamorfosis en un Estado abiertamente autoritario. Es un fascismo de nuevo cuño.
Su estrategia ha consistido en empoderar el aparato ejecutivo, erosionando con ataques permanentes las bases de cualquier oposición política, judicial, mediática o popular. El objetivo es transformar el orden constitucional en una autocracia, donde la población quede

Stop treating your phone like a diary. It’s a tracking beacon with a camera.
In 2026, "Privacy" isn't a setting, it's a battle.
If you haven't audited your device, you aren't a user; you're the product being mined 24/7.
Here is the 18-step "Ghost Protocol" to reclaim your phone from the 1% who own your data.
1. The "Invisible" Listener
Ever talked about "blue shoes" and seen an ad 5 minutes later? It’s not a coincidence, and they aren't "listening" to your voice. They’re tracking your ultrasonic cross-device pings. Your phone emits sounds you can't hear to talk to your smart TV and laptop. Let's kill that first.
2. Kill the "Significant Locations"
Your iPhone/Android keeps a hidden list of everywhere you go: your gym, your job, your "secret" spots.
- iOS: Settings → Privacy → Location Services → System Services → Significant Locations.
- Action: Clear History and turn it OFF. Stop giving them your routine on a silver platter.
Now that I’ve had time to process this year’s annual WEF Nuremberg-like rally in Davos, Switzerland, I’m ready to give you the main takeaways.
A. It starts with President Trump.
Every single report following the president’s…
2.
…address was either outright lies or missed the point. Trump’s thesis wasn’t Greenland or NATO or Ukraine or borders or windmills or the economy.
These were all spokes off of a central hub: “American citizens.” This is what made his remarks so remarkable, especially…
3.
…in a place like Davos.
The World Economic Forum has been a fundamentally anti-human organization since its founding. Their mission statement is nothing if not ambiguous: “Improving the state of the world.”
Much like a classic episode of The Twilight Zone where aliens…
Fiona Hill: Putin knows that Trump's word is empty. Putin is extraordinarily good at figuring people out, figuring out their vulnerabilities and weaknesses. Trump fits his category of the person he's used to dealing with. 1/
Hill: Putin's got strategic patience. He's actually quite predictable now. We've got 25 years of data points. We know his face. We also know that he bides his time. Prigozhin marched on Moscow, it fizzled out, and months later he meets his demise by falling from the skies. 2/
Hill: Trump sees no constraint apart from his own. Putin has whittled away all of the checks and balances, to be unchecked unconstrained. Trump wants to be that kind of leader, and that's what Putin's got on him. 3/
Rosja dziś posiada dwa duże zakłady, zajmujące się produkcją, remontami i modernizacją broni pancernej, są to zakłady UralWagonZawod w Niżnym Tagile, oraz Omsktransmasz w Omsku. Czy możliwe oraz wykonalne byłoby wyłączenie tych zakładów z działania?
Zacznijmy może najpierw od skali wielkości tych zakładów, UralWagonZawod jest częścią gigantycznego kombinatu przemysłowego w Niżnym Tagile, i to dosłownie gigantycznego! Nie tylko sam kombinat jest gigantyczny, ale również same hale są ogromne.
Sam UralWagonZawod to nie tylko fabryka czołgów i innych pojazdów opancerzony, ale ogromny zakład produkujący inny asortyment, np. wagony kolejowe.
@grok @DeloitteIndia The authors are Pathetic - The "Recursive Infinite Loop" Fallacy: The authors argue that to manage 4th-party risk, you need "total visibility" into the supply chain. Logic Check: If a company can’t even fix its own 1st-party vulnerabilities (like unpatched Servers 2008 Boxes
@grok @DeloitteIndia Expanding on this DUMB logic - How can it realistically "illuminate" the security posture of its vendor’s vendor? It’s a logical impossibility that creates an infinite loop of auditing that never leads to actual remediation.

كيف قدرت اكتشف ثغرات حرجة في اكبر شركة توصيل للطعام؟ فوق ال+20,000$
1- اختراق فوق ال380K الف مطعم 2- GraphQL Path Traversal Led to Modify Menu Price 3- سحب ارباح اي سائق في الشركه
حياكم الله ان شاء الله تستفيدون.
عند التعامل مع تارقت ضخم، اكبر خطأ هو انك تبدا مباشرة بالfuzzing او الريكون الغير مفهوم بدون فهم المنظومة. أول ما ركزت عليه هو اني افهم الـ Business Logic، لأن كثير من الثغرات الحرجة في المنتجات الكبيرة تكون منطقية اكثر.
الشركة عندها اكثر من نوع مستخدم: عميل يطلب (Customer)، سائق يوصل (Couriers)، مطعم يستقبل (Restaurant).
كل طرف له موقع وتطبيق خاص وAPIs مختلفه. عادة هذا يعني ان النظام معقد، ومع التعقيد تزيد الثغرات, وهذي افضل فرصة بالنسبة لك كبق هنتر انك تستعملهم كلهم عشان تطلع ثغره وهذا اللي صار.
-1 Stealing Money Allowing Withdrawal Of Couriers To Attacker. $3,000
زي ماهو واضح بالعنوان قدرت اني استغل الثغرة هذي بحيث ان فلوس سواق الشركه تتحول للبطاقتي.
بالبدايه بيجيكم تساؤل كيف قدرت القاها, للسواقين الشركه لهم تطبيق كامل قدرت اني ادخل على حسابي الي سويته وانا اتصفح التطبيق شفت شي غريب!
لفت انتباهي وجود ميزة مالية حساسة: “Fast Cash”. الفكرة بسيطة السائق يقدر يسحب أرباحه مباشرة على بطاقته بدل ما ينتظر التحويل المعتاد.
في اول ريكويست حاولت اسوي setup للمعلومات بطاقه بعدين جاني API غريب مربوط مع Stripe
عشان توضح الصوره Stripe يسوي Tokenize للبطايق للشركه هذي ويحفظها بسيرفر خاص ويعطي بطاقتك unique ID بحيث انها تكون محميه وهذا دايقرام بسيط يشرح الي يصير
زي ماهو موضح بالريسبونس عطانا توكن ايدي بناء على البطاقه طيب لو مشينا على الفلو حق التطبيق بنلاحظ الريكويست الثاني غريب جدا.
لو نلاحظ, التوكن المستخدم بالريكويست هو توكن بطاقتنا الي سويناه في الريكوست الي راح لكن لاحظت انه الUUID غريب ويوم دققت اكثر طلع هذا ال UUID للسائق (Courier) الي هو حسابي.
طيب بطبيعة الحال ممكن يكون هنا ثغرة IDOR لو بنحط UUID سائق اخر, لكن بتتسائلون وش ممكن يكون الامباكت ياعبدالعزيز وكيف اصلا بتقدر تجيب UUIDs لحسابات سائقين (Couriers) ثانيه؟
بحثت اول شي داخل تطبيق السائقين نفسه، وما لقيت أي شيء واضح يساعدني اطلع UUIDs. فصار الخيار المنطقي هو توسيع نطاق البحث: إذا تطبيق السائقين (Couriers) مافيه شي، مين الطرف الثاني اللي يتعامل مع السائق بشكل مباشر؟ العميل.
ومن هنا كانت الفكرة: تطبيق العملاء (Customers) فيه ميزة أساسية هي تتبع الطلب، وهذه الميزة بحكم تصميمها تحتاج تعرض معلومات مرتبطة بالسائق المكلف بالتوصيل.
طيب الحين نكمل الاكسبلويت بشكل كامل وننسخ الUUID من تطبيق العميل, ثم نروح للتطبيق السائق (Couriers) ونلصق الUUID في الاند بوينت.
/api/fastcash/{Victim_UUID}/account/card
انصدمت لما تاكدت إن الاستغلال فعلاً يشتغل, قدرت اربط الToken (بطاقتي) الى حساب سائق ثاني عبر تبديل الـUUID، وتم تحويل المبلغ إلى بطاقتي بدون اي تفاعل من الضحية. التحويل اكتمل خلال حوالي 30 دقيقة فقط.
العنوان يشرح الثغره من خلالها قدرت ادخل على الinternal API في GraphQL.
في خلال دخولي للحساب مطعم (Restaurant) قعدت احاول ادور اي شي ممكن يلفت انتباهي او اي Error.
لاحظت شي غريب التطبيق كله تقريبًا يستخدم REST APIs، إلا قسم المنيو كان الوحيد شغال بـ GraphQL. اول شي جا ببالي اني اجرب Introspection عشان اطلع الـschema واعرف الـqueries والـmutations المتاحة، لكن كانت مقفلة.
قلت الحين الحل الوحيد اننا انشوف كيف الابلكيشن قاعد يتعامل مع الGraphQL Queries.
لو نشوف الريكويست هنا طبيعي كل مارسلت Id لاي مطعم ثاني صار يعطيني 401 Unauthorized.
في الحاله هذي قلت خلني العب بس بالايدي بحيث احط اي character.
الريسبونس كان غريب جدا عطاني 200 OK لكن بالبودي اتضح انه قاعد يستدعي Internal API (Microservice) للمنيو.
دايقرام بسيط يشرح الي يصير
بحالتي انا، اول شي سويته إني حاولت اتعامل مع GraphQL كانه REST واجرب اوصل للـAPI من خلال الدومين وأسوي fuzzing على المسارات.
لكن اتضح إن GraphQL هنا ما يرد إلا إذا كان الطلب مطابق تمامًا لـ Query/Mutation موجودة بالـschema. يعني اي path أو صيغة خارج اللي يتوقعها الـschema ما يعطيك response.
الشي المنطقي الباقي اني احاول استغل الmisconfiguration هذي بما ان الQuery والMutation مجهول بالنسبه لي, لقيت Function يعدل على سعر اي اكل موجود في اي مطعم!
يعني لقيت الScheme الصحيح الي يسمح لي اعدل على الاسعار في اي مطعم.
الآن الخطوة اللي أحتاجها هي الحصول على ID أي مطعم، والموضوع هذا بسيط جدًا لأننا قدرنا سابقًا نجيبه بنفس طريقة استغلال الثغرة الأولى.
قدرنا نستخرج معرّف المطعم (restaurantId) من خلال تطبيق الـCustomer، خصوصًا لما نحاول نضيف عنصر زي الكولا للسلة.
