Hey @TNewtonDunn, @TheSun - Who is responsible for this abomination?
Haven't you learned anything? medium.com/@jim_cornelius…
Here's who is responsible.

It's @HelenKnapman

Note that the online article has been corrected for wine, though it's no longer South African. But the other maths is still wrong. Doing minus X percent and still being calculated using the retail price.

I deleted the tweet that this is a response to because of a typo.

Here is Tim Loughton (@timloughton) making a false statement to the House of Commons. The falsity of which is not acknowledged )y International Trade minister George Hollingbery and is ignored by the Secretary of State Dr Liam Fox.
Firstly Ethiopia is one of UNCTAD's least developed countries (LDC). That means that it benefits from the EU's Everything But Arms (EBA) scheme which grants zero duties and quotas on all products exported into the EU apart from weapons. If Mr Loughton cared he would know this.
Secondly, Ethiopia is not a cocoa exporting country. I've checked on FAOSTAT (fao.org/faostat/en/#da…) and it is not listed among the 62 nations they have stats on cocoa production levels in 2016/17. Coffee yes, cocoa no.

Look at this load of bollocks from @TheSun.

Sth African wine.

1. They've taken 20% OFF, not removed 20% of 120%.
2. They have done it on the retail price!
3. Where's 20% come from? The MFN tariff is a tiny fraction of that.
4. Sth Africa wine comes in tariff-free under an FTA.

I have a number of issues with this report by @BBCSimonJack that was broadcast on the BBC News at 10pm, and possibly on other bulletins.

Can you guess what they are?
1. Tariffs are not charged to countries or exporters bringing goods to the UK/EU. Tariffs are paid by importers.

2. The report does nothing to indicate that most tariffs are eliminated for exports from developing countries or the 70 free-trade partner countries outside the EU.
3. "Setting tariffs on oranges, jam, carpets, TVs to zero will potentially drive down prices."

Is this realistic? Well let's find out.

It is OBVIOUS that some US election outcomes may be illegitimate. Voting machine vendor ES&S accounts for 44% of US election equipment, & admitted last year (after prior denials) that it installed pc anywhere software in central tabulators in 300 jurisdictions! 1/

3/ Diebold (previously called Global) was founded by three white collar criminals and hired a convicted embezzler to do its programming several months before the 2000 election. link.medium.com/cHff0JJ1RU

Not Vice
@f__kvice
1/ Finally reading Jill Abramson's Merchants of Truth (not the uncorrected 'galley proofs' others bemoaned). It tracks NYT, WaPo, Vice and BuzzFeed between 2007 and now.

This thread will be Vice.

I'll tweet things of interest and call out any errors. a.co/dGI4Wu0
2/ The book was officially released this morning.
3/ Search results for "not vice", "notvice" and "voshart" have no results. 😶

1/ Here's a thread, individually listing all my online writings to date on disputes between trans activists and feminists; on the silencing of complicating voices about this, both within Universities & outside them; & other related matters. Most are around under 12 minute reads.
2/ Here's the one I published first, on how my own field, academic philosophy, is largely completely avoiding sympathetic discussion of gender critical views, partly out of fear. medium.com/@kathleenstock…
3/ Here are some powerful anonymised messages I got after publishing the previous essay, from UK academics, testifying to the pressure they feel not to speak up or complicate the trans activist narrative, and the harms it causes. medium.com/@kathleenstock…

@caitoz made a terrible error
@caitoz decided to debate @ThomasWictor on Syria

Two HeavyWeights
Two Equals
Two Opposites

This Tweetstorm is the play-by-play
then you can decide how it went

I have to go slow
I'm doing screen captures
But this was epic
1/
 Appears the debate started around 3pm on Jan 17th

@Caitoz was discussing Tillerson comments about Syria

tweet 👇
2/
 @Caitoz then discussed it further
by quoting an article
and
stating

"#MAGA"

(my browser that copies tweets has a problem with attachments, but the tweets will be linked below for your verification)

 One of my favorite writers @ Caitoz

who I won't "Tag" in this Tweetstorm
because it will mess up her mentions

wrote an article about the Lying CIA, Coup, and Iran

I snarked back about Obama's 180 Bil
she didn't like that
but
I've read her article

medium.com/@caityjohnston…
2/
 One of the reasons
I thoroughly enjoy @ Caitoz
and strongly recommend her
is that she takes no prisoners, states her opinions, and provides facts

However, I dispute her version of Iran

So we shall discuss

medium.com/@caityjohnston…
3/
 Is @ caitoz Right"
She said I was spreading Falsehoods?

TBH, let's find out
If I can't provide a counter-arguments w/facts and sources
then that is upto to you to decide

But I will now review her article

"Line-By-Bloody-Line"

So the long anticipated ICO freeze is coming techcrunch.com/2017/12/12/sec… is a good example of what's here now, and what's to come. I have three thoughts on this phenomena and how it's going to shape the markets as we go forwards into the regulated portion of the blockchain's future.
The first thing is that the smart money has always known the regulators were coming. reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comm… Obama made it clear nearly two years ago. Look at the length of the Reddit thread: people knew. The President told us the way this was going to go. Don't act surprised.
The second thing is that the regulators have an *amazing* array of tools at their disposal because people have been fleecing the public for centuries. Law evolves. Securities law, insider trading, anti money laundering etc. "Token" isn't a legal category so law gets to define it!
