US ‘deletes evidence’ of #Russia’s kidnap of 35,000 Ukrainian children
“A #Yale University source said the US state department deleted the evidence which would have been used as part of rescue efforts to get the children home to #Ukraine.
It would also have been used to prosecute those behind their abductions – including Russian president Vladimir #Putin.”

This is a "very much coordinated attack on free speech...
"& about how much the government is terrified of not being able to silence the voices that they've been trying to silence for so many years."

New paper from #Yale and the #FederalReserve blames the 2023 banking crisis on (you guessed it) #crypto and Nerd Reich #VCs.
> "A clearer commonality between the six banks [that failed], the paper argues, is their exposure to risky depositor bases that other banks shied away from: #crypto firms and [tech] venture capitalists."

@Yoshi@toot.community@rbreich Let's not forget, #Yale and #Harvard produced many of the worst #MAGAmoron sycophants.
Last night, the PBS NewsHour spoke to "one of the country's leading historians on Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union":
"Strategically, what we are doing, what the United States is doing, is trading a set of Western alliances for an alliance with Russia. Now, the main way Russia engages with us is by stealing our technology and by hacking into our infrastructure. The Russian economy is smaller than Canada's, but we are nevertheless going to trade 80 years of alliance with reliable partners that are 15, 16, 17 times bigger than Russia as an economy for an alliance with Russia."
Worth watching/reading. One should expect no less, but it was still somehow reassuring to hear this sane analysis of what happened at the White House yesterday.
