Black Lives Matter Group Deletes Tweet Showing Support for Hamas

The BLM Chicago chapter posted a graphic online Tuesday that said, “I stand with Palestine.” The graphic also featured a paraglider with the Palestinian flag, which is notable because Hamas terrorists paraglided into a music festival in Israel and attacked the attendees.

Hamas launched a terror attack on Israel from Gaza over the weekend on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret, the final day of the annual High Holy Day cycle, resulting in over 900 deaths and at least 2,500 wounded. At least 22 Americans were also killed during the violent terror attacks.

The BLM Chicago group deleted the post on Wednesday, saying it was not “proud” of the post but reaffirmed its support for the Palestinian cause.

“Yesterday we sent out msgs that we aren’t proud of,” BLM Chicago said online. “We stand with Palestine & the people who will do what they must to live free. Our hearts are with, the grieving mothers, those rescuing babies from rubble, who are in danger of being wiped out completely.

How can their hearts be with the babies if they never supported Israeli babies that Hamas terrorists killed by shooting them at close range!

E.U. Issues Warning to Elon Musk’s X/Twitter
over Hamas-Israel ‘Disinformation

The EU has publicly admonished Elon Musk’s X, formerly known as Twitter, for allegedly failing to adequately address the spread of illegal content and disinformation on its platform, particularly in relation to the recent violent attacks on Israel orchestrated by Hamas terrorists.

TechCrunch reports that in a rapid and stringent application of the EU’s recently updated content moderation guidelines, X/Twitter, owned by tech mogul Elon Musk, has received a public warning for its alleged negligence in managing illegal content and disinformation. This comes in the wake of the recent attacks on Israel by Hamas terrorists based in the Gaza Strip, which have not only stirred global political tensions but also sparked a flurry of content on social media platforms, some of which has been identified as disinformation.
...
Graphic videos and other content, some of which have been identified as false by fact-checkers and X/Twitter’s own community notes program, have been circulating on the platform since the onset of the attacks. Some posts purportedly show footage from the attacks inside Israel or Israel’s subsequent retaliation on targets in the Gaza Strip, while others have been identified as unrelated or entirely fabricated, including footage filmed last month in Egypt and even a clip from a video game, falsely claimed to show Hamas missile attacks on Israel.

The European Commission has raised alarms about the spread of disinformation on X, especially concerning the terrorist attacks and their aftermath. The EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) imposes an obligation on X/Twitter, as a very large online platform, to mitigate risks associated with harmful falsehoods and to act diligently on reports of illegal content. An “urgent” letter to Musk from the EU’s internal market commissioner Thierry Breton, which was also shared on Musk’s platform, sends a clear message that the EU believes X/Twitter may be in breach of the DSA. Breton wrote, “When you receive notices of illegal content in the EU, you must be timely, diligent, and objective in taking action and removing the relevant content when warranted.”
...
Our policy is that everything is open source and transparent, an approach that I know the EU supports.
Please list the violations you allude to on , so that that the public can see them.
Merci beaucoup.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook Allows Ads
for Pro-Palestinian Merch Supporting Israel’s Destruction

Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook is allowing advertisements for pro-Palestinian merchandise that effectively supports Israel’s destruction by replacing Israel on the map with the Palestinian flag.

The advertisements are apparently appearing in the news feeds of people who are receiving news from friends and relatives about the ongoing conflict between Palestinian terrorists and Israel — even if they support the Israeli cause.

An ad from a company called “West Bank Apparel” appeared in this reporter’s news feed, right between posts by pro-Israel friends, one of whom had shared an article about Israeli families murdered by Palestinian terrorists.

The advertisement from West Bank Apparel celebrates “Palestinian heritage,” and includes a charm bracelet that has a map that shows the Palestinian flag across the entire area of the State of Israel and the areas administered by the Palestinian Authority.

Another charm repeats the same design, without the flag but with the entire area of Israel associated with a Palestinian state.

That area was known as “Palestine” under the British Mandate that lasted from the First World War until 1948, but there was never a state called “Palestine” under that national flag in the area depicted.

Maps of “Palestine” that erase the State of Israel are a common feature in anti-Israel propaganda, including among groups that support Palestinian terrorists — as in the photo below, taken by the Associated Press during pro-Hamas protests in London.

Amazon Launches Internet Satellites
to Compete with Elon Musk’s Starlink

Amazon has launched the first test satellites for its proposed satellite internet service on Friday, as the company seeks to close the gap on Elon Musk’s Starlink, which is already offering global internet coverage.

The Amazon satellites were carried into orbit by an Atlas V rocket designed by Lockheed Martin and operated by the United Launch Alliance, a joint venture of Lockheed Martin and Boeing.

...Amazon is planning to ramp up both satellite production and launches as it races to catch up with competitors Starlink and OneWeb.

Amazon plans to launch up to 80 satellites per month as it aims to compete with satellite-powered internet connectivity services including SpaceX and OneWeb.

The tech giant is preparing mass production of its Kuiper satellites at its 172,000 square foot factory Kirkland, Washington.

The government of Florida, run by Republican governor and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis, also recently announced a 100,000 square foot satellite processing facility for the Kuiper satellites at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

Elon Musk’s Neuralink Implant ‘Ruptured’ a Monkey’s Brain
but He Says Its Ready for Humans

A recent investigation has unveiled a harrowing incident involving the results of Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain implant trial on macaque monkeys, sparking a debate about if the technology is ready for human trials. In one gruesome incident, the implant caused a monkeys brain to “rupture,” leading to its untimely death.

Wired reports that an implant trial conducted by Elon Musk’s Neuralink at the California National Primate Research Center (CNPRC) at UC Davis has come under scrutiny for causing severe cerebral swelling and subsequent brain rupture in a female macaque monkey. The seven-year-old primate experienced “severe neurological defects” and endured a notably painful 24 hours, during which it “seized and vomited, lost control of her right leg, and shook uncontrollably,” before being euthanized to end its suffering. A postmortem examination revealed that adhesive leakage from the implant had inflamed a part of the brain that secretes cerebrospinal fluid, causing such severe effects that the rear of the monkey’s brain protruded from its skull.
...
Additional veterinary reports show the condition of a female monkey called “Animal 15” during the months leading up to her death in March 2019. Days after her implant surgery, she began to press her head against the floor for no apparent reason; a symptom of pain or infection, the records say. Staff observed that though she was uncomfortable, picking and pulling at her implant until it bled, she would often lie at the foot of her cage and spend time holding hands with her roommate.

Animal 15 began to lose coordination, and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers. Her condition deteriorated for months until the staff finally euthanized her. A necropsy report indicates that she had bleeding in her brain and that the Neuralink implants left parts of her cerebral cortex “focally tattered.”

The latest  incident was recognized as a violation of the US Animal Welfare Act by federal regulators, though the CNPRC attempted to mitigate legal implications by self-reporting the violation. An anonymous former Neuralink employee stated, “the implant itself did not cause death. We sacrificed her to end her suffering.”

The ethical concerns are further exacerbated by the withholding of photographic evidence from the trials. Ethics groups, such as the Physicians Committee, have pressed for the release of hundreds of photos documenting Neuralink’s experiments, arguing that as a public institution, UC Davis is obligated to maintain transparency. The institution, however, has resisted these calls, asserting that the public is not equipped to properly interpret the photographs and that the backlash could endanger scientists and discourage them from taking such photos in the future.

 They seriously deserve to be put in jail for trying to cover up this insanity taking place at the labs.
