Ex-Venezuelan Spy Chief Warns Trump of Maduro's Narco-Terror Plot: Carvajal, who once ran Venezuela's military intelligence under Chávez and Maduro before defecting in 2017 and pleading guilty to narco-terrorism charges this June, accuses the Maduro regime of running the Cartel de los Soles to flood U.S. cities with cocaine, backed by Cuba, FARC, ELN, and Hezbollah. He details how the regime exported the Tren de Aragua gang to commit crimes like kidnappings and extortion in the U.S., alongside decades of spying, including Russian listening posts and paid U.S. officials. Carvajal also claims personal involvement in rigging Venezuela's elections via Smartmatic, which he says was designed to keep the regime in power and later exported with ties to U.S. systems—though such U.S. rigging claims lack evidence. (X, Various) (AC-If these claims are true, this could be the ultimate reasoning for the US pressure and potential conflict with Maduro and Venezuela.) 2. Leader of anti-Hamas militia armed by Israel killed in Gaza: Yasser Abu Shabab, who led a militia controlling a patch of territory in Rafah in southern Gaza, was killed while trying to “de-escalate a conflict” between members of a family in a public square. Abu Shabab, who was in his early 30s, appeared to be spreading his reach slowly in southern Gaza as he tried to carve out an area free of Hamas. (CNN) 3.

AG Bondi: Evidence Leading to J6 Pipe Bomber Arrest ‘Collecting Dust’ at Biden’s FBI for 4 Years: Brian Cole Jr. was arrested and charged with placing the pipe bombs at the RNC and the DNC on January 5, 2021.

The arrest raises questions about the lack of progress made by the Biden administration under FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland. (Breitbart) 2. Supreme Court Allows Texas Redistricting Map: The U.S. Supreme Court has permitted the Texas GOP to implement a newly redistricted congressional map temporarily. Texas state officials approved the map during the summer. (CBS) -Regulatory and Legal- 1. OpenAI Ordered to Produce Chat Logs: OpenAI must produce millions of anonymized chat logs from ChatGPT users in its high-stakes copyright dispute with the New York Times and other news outlets, a federal judge in Manhattan ruled. The judge rejected OpenAI's privacy-related objections to an earlier order requiring the artificial intelligence startup to submit the records as evidence. "There are multiple layers of protection in this case precisely because of the highly sensitive and private nature of much of the discovery," Wang said. (Reuters) 2. Digital asset payments now regulated by UAE Central Bank: The new rules say that anyone “carrying on, issuing, or facilitating, whether directly or indirectly, any Licensed Financial Activity, regardless of the medium, technology or form employed – shall be subject to the licensing, regulatory, and oversight jurisdiction of the Central Bank.” Conducting regulated financial activities without the requisite regulatory approval is also a criminal offense, which can carry prison terms. On the brighter side, the new law also lays the legal foundation for recognizing the digital dirham—the CBUAE’s CBDC—as legal tender. This means that the digital dirham is now on a legal footing with physical cash in the UAE. (CoinGeek) (AC-While some countries look to build Bitcoin payment rails, this harsh example shows the tyranny of centralization of digital assets, and the continued 'progress' toward a highly-managed financial system.) 3. Malaysian Authorities Are Using Drones to Target Power-Stealing Bitcoin Miners: Malaysian authorities are cracking down on Bitcoin mining operations stealing power from the grid using drones and handheld sensors. A special committee was formed to target illicit actors, resulting in the shutdown of almost 2,400 operations and the discovery of 14,000 illicit mining operations over the past five years.

(reuters) -Technology and Science- 1. Bitcoin is quietly becoming the ultimate expert witness, forcing judges to accept a new standard of truth: Bitcoin introduced an alternative way to preserve a history of events, one that does not assume a single office or country will remain honest or functional. A satoshi can come to stand for a share in a company, a document hash, or a pointer to a land parcel held in a separate database. The timechain then becomes a permanent index of when those markers moved between keys, whether or not any court noticed at the time. (CryptoSlate) -Bitcoin Community- NSTR -Bitcoin Sentiment- 1.
