I haven’t been following the story much, but heard an “independent journalist” was banned from X for posting the hacked Trump Campaign opposition research on JD Vance.
I actually approached the story instinctively wanting to defend the “independent journalist”. Klippenstein is his name.
Then I saw Krystal Ball ball defending him, and my suspicion grew. 😆 Krystal is a scoundrel through and through, so you can pretty much bet against her every time and come out on top more often than not.
Krystal posted Klippenstein’s defense on his substack. Link here: https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/my-twitter-ban-is-political
Turns out Klippenstein knowingly posted the link on twitter, which linked to the dossier, which contained unredacted private info on JB Vance. From what I understand, it included home address and Social Security number (might be wrong on the SSN).
this is not the same thing as the Hunter Biden laptop, which was not the product of hacked and stolen materials.
And this is arguably different from the Wikileaks email hack, which did not contain specific identifying information, as far as I recall.
Klippenstein in his defense says he published the information unredacted “on principle”. my conclusion is that it was on a lack of principles.
I went in inclined to defend him, and came out believing he is a dirty rotten scoundrel, much like Krystal.
I watched the pipe bomber arrest press conference. I found it very unsatisfying. They basically said they’re not going to reveal any of the evidence for the time being, and except in accordance with the legal process.
Judge Pirro is the only one who gave the slightest indication of what the conclusive evidence was. Apparently they traced the sale/purchase of the pipe bomb cap and/or other materials to this individual.
Other than this clip, no evidence was provided during the press conference.
I did a quick hit on Richard Syrette yesterday. Gotta keep Canadians apprised of the U.S. madness.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. Art of the Day
We the People. It stands out above all in the scribed parchment inside the glass-encased shield inside the Rotunda of Congress with three words bigger than the rest: We The People. Penned on a single sheet of animal skin by Jacob Shallus, it stands out as the Great Charter of American liberty, the profound experiment in self-government, and still stands today as the oldest and shortest written constitution of any major government in the world today. Those words stand out above the rest, written in flowing letters outsized to the text, to remind the world upon what power our government sits: We the People.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. Art of the Day
One place where AI proves fun is its image generation capacity, whether for memes, dystopian dreams, otherworldly experiences, or translating photos and ideas into the templated work of famous painters. I asked it to convert this meme into a Hopper painting, and it turns out quite fun, as it blurs and blends the images into the spirit of the people and place, as Hopper so masterfully made so often. A Hush Hush of its own accord.
