Hey Adam, the German unemployment rate in yesterday's newsletter is not correct. Perhaps it is extended measure (like U6), but the standard one looks like this data.ecb.europa.eu/data/dataset...

Remember that one time when Soros stormed the Treasury and got all the data?

“Freedom” is the ability to run graft and keep guns. “Freedom of speech” is attacking everyone who disagrees with you, and set your mob on them if you are Musk.

The federal government has intense limits on data sharing in order to protect privacy. Sharing IRS tax data to another part of government *requires an act of Congress.*

@anneapplebaum.bsky.social this is a fascinating take - I think there are lots of parallels with Dugin, all the more clearer now. In general this fascination with the occult is what makes these types anti-enlightenment and anti-West. Is there any evidence of Dugin having influenced them?
