New, from me:

In May 2025, the European Union levied financial sanctions on the owners of Stark Industries Solutions Ltd., a bulletproof hosting provider that materialized two weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine and quickly became a top source of […]

[SimpleX founder approving of right-wing extremism]

Today, I learned that the founder of the #simplex messenger is a #ClimateChange-denying #covid conspiracy-theorist, anti-vaxxer and #maga sympathiser who apparently seems to believe

- in the “genocide of […]

Twitter profile of Evgeny Poberezkin, the founder of SimpleX and creator of the Ajv JSON validator. Viewed via the Nitter server XCancel. On 30 May, Evgeny retweeted a post from Andrew Bridgen which reads: “It was a military operation across the world from the development of the virus and so-called vaccines to the delivery of the propaganda narrative to increase compliance.” Bridgen's tweet quotes an image shared by Liz Churchill, reading: “Dutch government official admits Covid pandemic was 'military operation': 'Ministry of Health obeys NATO'”. On 28 May, Evgeny retweeted a post from Sayer Ji reading: “Americans Are Fed Up! In just 24 hours, over 20,000 emails have been sent to Congress demanding an investigation into unauthorized geoengineering and atmospheric spraying. People are taking a stand for transparency, accountability, and the right to clean skies.” On 16 March, Evgeny Poberezkin retweeted JD Vance's screenshot of Donald Trump's Truth Social post with a picture showing three presidential photos: 2017 – 2021: happy Trump 2021 – 2025: a robot pen faking Biden's signature 2025 – present: mad Trump On 26 February, Evgeny Poberezkin retweeted a post from the Twitter profile “Bill Gates is a psycho”, reading: “That’s where the money is. There is no consensus in Science, it’s about facts, and if you get down to the cold hard facts – climate change is not happening – there is no man made Global Warming now & there hasn’t been any in the past. I resent you calling me a ‘Denier” this is a word meant to put me down - there is NO significant Global Warming. John Coleman is a Meteorological expert & founder of The Weather Channel - you will never see him on Legacy Media again for obvious reasons.”

The actual memo is such a bald faced distortion and inversion of reality:

POTUS alleges Krebs "promoted the censorship of election information, including known risks associated with certain voting practices, and falsely and baselessly denied that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen […]

Reuters has a good follow on some of the reporting about Edward Coristine, a teenage DOGE staffer with years-long connections to the English-language cybercrime community known as the Com.

The story says Coristine ran a website operated by the name "EGodly":

"In 2023, EGodly boasted on its […]

Signal (@signalapp@mastodon.world)
Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications. 1/

This seems like an ominous development:

"A new executive order from President Donald Trump aims to expand information-sharing across federal agencies as well as between federal and state governments, but civil libertarians and other experts are warning that the main purpose is to help […]

Dutch researchers get questionnaires from the US government about political views – if you are a European scientist who has received such a letter, please DM me […]

[Original post on mastodon.social]
Researchers advised not to respond to US questionnaire 19 March 2025 Researchers who have received a questionnaire containing political questions from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) or other American government funders such as NIH or ARPA are advised not to respond. An email with 36 intrusive questions has been received by researchers from organisations including Wageningen University & Research (WUR). Various media have reported on this recently. It is not yet known whether researchers from Leiden University have received such an email. ‘We want to warn our researchers about this questionnaire, which violates our academic freedom and independent scientific research – values we firmly believe in’, said Rector Hester Bijl.
