A very interesting (and ominous) article. Bonus, it also explains how that nuclear scientist at MIT who the Brown University shooter also murdered is tied into all of this.
BREAKING: Russia Is Buying Trump for $6 Billion — And It’s Happening in Plain Sight
A failing social media company. A Russian-backed fusion deal. AI panic. Presidential conflicts. And now, a dead American nuclear scientist. Tell me again this is “just a tech story.”

You likely won't get your orders before Christmas if you order now, but you could send yourself and others something awesome for the New Year! #buyCanada #supportCanadianArt
Well I have pouches and totes & ornaments, but not luggage per se. I am open to exploring other options but it has to be well made and made in Canada for me to get involved. I searched a long time to find my current partner for production and I'm really happy with the results.🇨🇦♥️
