Elvis Chan Has Left The Building

From the BRILLIANT IMPENITENT2A

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fbi-places-infamous-censorship-agent-terminal-leave-report

FBI agent Elvis Chan, who gained public attention for his involvement in communications with social media platforms regarding content moderation, has reportedly been placed on “terminal leave.” This type of leave is typically granted to employees before their final separation from service, often ahead of retirement.

Chan’s interactions with companies like Twitter were scrutinized in court cases and congressional hearings concerning allegations of government pressure on social media content. His role was highlighted in discussions about censorship and the government’s influence over online speech.

The controversy surrounding Chan coincides with a 2023 ruling by the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which found that the FBI, White House, U.S. Surgeon General, CDC, and CISA likely violated First Amendment rights by “coercing or significantly encouraging” social media platforms to censor content.

His placement on terminal leave comes amidst ongoing debate and legal challenges regarding the extent of government agency coordination with tech companies on content issues. It signals his pending departure from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Trump and Carney

https://nypost.com/2025/05/06/us-news/trump-rips-canada-moments-before-carney-meeting-we-don t-need-anything-they-have/

Former President Trump made critical remarks about Canada shortly before meeting with Mark Carney, the former head of the Bank of England and Bank of Canada. Trump reportedly asserted that the United States is self-sufficient and does not require anything from Canada.

His comments were made publicly just ahead of the scheduled meeting, signaling a potentially challenging relationship with Canada if he were to return to office. The remarks could be interpreted as a negotiating tactic or a reflection of his “America First” economic stance.

The meeting with Carney, who has taken roles in climate finance, adds an interesting dynamic to Trump’s comments, which seemed focused on traditional trade relationships. The interaction highlights potential friction points in future US-Canada relations.

Avoiding Litigation Delays – Jonathon Turley

It was once said that possession is nine-tenths of the law, an acknowledgement that the possessor of property generally has the advantage in keeping it. This principle has been taken to absurd extremes in some squatter cases, where people invade homes and then demand the right to stay pending long legal challenges. Today, under both our housing and immigration laws, mere occupation often appears to be nine-tenths of our laws.

In courtrooms across the country, the nation seems trapped in a type of Squatter Syndrome, a macro version of the housing cases. The slowness of the removal process is being used to keep millions in the country indefinitely. It may prove to be President Joe Biden’s most lasting legacy, a de facto residency by simply overwhelming the system by the sheer number of unlawful entries.

The analysis contends that addressing these systemic inefficiencies is crucial for restoring faith in the legal framework and ensuring timely resolution of cases across various domains, including immigration proceedings. It critiques the current state of the courts for contributing to these problems.

Nuclear Energy EO Imminent

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/oklo-other-nuclear-names-spike-after-report-white-house-accelerating-nuclear-executive

Reports suggest the White House is preparing an executive order aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of nuclear energy technologies. This initiative is intended to boost the nuclear sector as a key component of future energy strategy, potentially focusing on advanced reactors and small modular reactors (SMRs).

The anticipated executive action could involve measures to streamline regulatory processes, provide financial incentives, or direct federal agencies to support nuclear projects. The goal is to leverage nuclear power for clean energy generation and energy independence.

Following the report, stocks of some nuclear energy companies, such as Oklo, experienced notable price increases. The move signals potential government support for the industry amidst growing interest in reliable, low-carbon energy sources.

The More Drool that Dripped From Biden’s Mouth, The More Active the Autopen

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/biden-autopen-use-increased-cognitive-decline-deepened-analysis-finds

An analysis presented in the article purports to show a correlation between observations of President Biden’s perceived cognitive decline and an increased frequency in the use of an autopen for signing official documents. The analysis suggests that periods where the President’s mental acuity was publicly questioned saw a rise in reliance on mechanical signature.

Critics interpret this correlation as potential evidence that health or cognitive challenges might be influencing the President’s ability to perform routine tasks like signing legislation. Autopen use is standard practice for some documents, but the analysis links its increased frequency specifically to perceived health issues.

The article uses this analysis to fuel skepticism about the President’s health status and fitness for office. It contributes to ongoing political debate surrounding his age and cognitive capabilities.

 

 

Boosting Oil Drilling

https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/house-committee-set-boost-oil-and-gas-drilling-federal-lands

A House committee is reportedly moving forward with legislation aimed at increasing oil and gas drilling activities on federal lands. Proponents argue this measure is crucial for enhancing domestic energy production and reducing reliance on foreign sources.

The proposed bill seeks to expand access to federal acreage for energy exploration and extraction. Supporters believe this will lower energy costs and create jobs within the fossil fuel industry.

Environmental groups and Democratic lawmakers are expected to oppose the effort, citing concerns about the impact on climate change, wildlife habitats, and public lands. The push highlights the ongoing political divide over energy policy and land use in the United States.

Neom Smarty City 33 Times the SIze of NYC May Alter Weather in Saudi Arabia

NEOM's The Line is getting a lot shorter (for now) | News | Archinect

A climate scientist working as an adviser on Saudi Arabia’s Neom project has warned that the new city could change local environments and weather systems, including the path of wind and sand storms

The $500+ billion megacity – which organizers claim will be 33 times the size of New York City – is planned to include a 170km straight-line city, an eight-sided city that floats on water, and a ski resort with a folded vertical village, amongst other grandiose projects.

https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/neom-adviser-warns-saudi-megacity-could-alter-weather-systems

An advisor involved with Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Neom megacity project has reportedly voiced concerns that the massive urban development could potentially modify regional weather patterns. The unprecedented scale and design of Neom, including its planned vertical city ‘The Line’, could interact with the environment in unexpected ways.

The warning suggests that the sheer volume of construction, altered landscapes, and new infrastructure might create localized microclimates or influence atmospheric circulation. This could lead to changes in temperature, precipitation, or wind patterns in the surrounding desert environment.

The potential for weather alteration adds another layer of environmental concern to the already controversial project. It highlights the complex and potentially unforeseen consequences of large-scale human intervention on natural systems.

 

 

Neom is known as the walled city, and for those who are science fiction fans you can see many parallels between Logan’s Run and the classic adaptation of H.G. Well’s Things to Come.  In both of those films, mankind is confined to wonderful futuristic cities, but at the cost of their liberty and in the case of Logan’s Run, you life once you reach the age of 30 where you voluntarily commit suicide for public spectacle.  Neom’s dimensions are 200 meters wide by 170 kilometers long and enclosed entirely by walls .  Yes, you will live in designated sectors where everything that you need will be available.  The difference with Neom is that there will be mass transit, but once you see how confining the structure is – it’s basically a walled city – it is easy to project how confining such a lifestyle would be. 

The imagery of the video is very important to note.  Despite being surrounded by walls, there will be abundant light.  And note, too, the greenery throughout the buildings, despite the fact that light could never reach the lower levels.  And it is ironic that a young teen girl, without head cover and wearing slacks, is able to float freely throughout this dream world. Intellectually most acknowledge that this is a concept commercial, but the imagery is powerful here as it imparts the emotion of safety and awe, and that the new future will be a high tech paradise.  It also diminishes the threat of being confined to a walled zoo.  With such beauty and care taken to craft the perfectly eco friendly domain, why would you ever worry that you could never leave?

Banning Anon Crypto In Europe

https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/european-union-ban-anonymous-crypto-privacy-tokens-2027

The European Union is reportedly planning to implement a ban on anonymous cryptocurrency transactions and privacy-enhancing crypto tokens by the year 2027. This regulatory move is part of the EU’s broader efforts to strengthen anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) measures within the digital asset space.

The proposed regulations would require crypto service providers to conduct stricter identity verification for users and potentially restrict the use of cryptocurrencies specifically designed to obscure transaction details. The goal is to increase transparency and traceability in the crypto market.

This development follows global trends where regulators are seeking greater oversight of the cryptocurrency industry to mitigate perceived risks. The potential ban on privacy tokens is likely to be met with resistance from privacy advocates within the crypto community.
