I’m starting to wonder if the Guthrie kidnapping was a political op to remove focus from the #epstein files. #tinfoilhat

Radical opinion. Not only should NS not be outsourcing this to a US owned company. It should not be outsourcing it at all.

NS gives IT contract to U.S. provider despite concerns over dependency on American tech
Despite the growing concerns about the Netlerands and Europe’s dependency on American tech companies, NS has awarded a significant portion of its IT infrastructure to a United States-based computer service provider, NRC reports based on the tender documentation. According to the newspaper, the tender shows that the American supplier, DXC Technology, submitted the cheapest bid, but did not score the highest on quality.

What I loved about the #badbunny #halftime - he was a wandering observer, allowing us to see his world through his eyes. He was the narrator, letting us into his jaunt through PR culture.

It's the selflessness that got me. It's not "look at me" it's "look at all this"

Just beautiful stagecraft

Ehud Barak Had a Very Close Friendship With Jeffrey Epstein
The recent release of more Epstein files only provide more evidence about just how close former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak and billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein were to each other, despite Barak’s protestations to the contrary.

Assuming that the “administration “ will #scapegoat” someone in federal law enforcement, fire them, and either promote others or find them corporate security jobs.

I think the lesson for the Trump administration is they did not have to change the law, or win a court case, to get universities to do what they wanted.
