The “Mackey model” above refers to the case of Douglass Mackey, an American citizen who was arrested, tried, and convicted of a felony for distributing memes mocking Hillary Clinton in 2016. If the regime is less able to use disinformation as a censorship pretext to pressure Twitter to deplatform users, Mackey’s case represents a thus-far successful attempt (the case is currently on appeal) to codify much of the disinformation scam into criminal law. Furthermore, Durov’s arrest might be best understood as a complement to the Mackey model. If Mackey’s arrest represents the regime’s willingness to attack and arrest citizens for unapproved speech, Durov’s arrest represents Western governments’ increasing willingness to arrest censorship-resistant tech CEOs for not playing ball like the regime lackeys that used to control Big Tech exclusively.
The dangerous precedent of the Durov arrest has elicited strong condemnation from Edward Snowden to Elon Musk.
Indeed, it’s hard not to view Durov’s arrest as a trial balloon for an imminent legal offensive on Musk, who has enraged EU authorities by refusing to cater to the censorship demands of the EU and US security establishment.
Elon Musk’s social media platform X is in breach of the European Union’s online content law, according to preliminary findings by regulators that could lead to hefty fines for the company.
The European Commission, the executive arm of the 27-member bloc, announced on Friday that the social media platform is violating the Digital Services Act (DSA) in areas linked to “dark patterns, advertising transparency and data access for researchers.”
The disgraced Alexander Vindman, notorious Russia-hoax impeachment operative, has made this explicit.
Apart from its relevance to free speech per se, the Durov case is also relevant to geopolitics. Indeed, Telegram is especially known for hosting a rich repository of unmediated footage from hot-button conflict zones such as Ukraine and Gaza. Telegram’s willingness to host such unmediated, unfiltered information about geopolitical hotspots could very well have put them in the crosshairs of a variety of nation states, including Israel (the leak of whose government files was published on a telegram channel), the Ukraine, and stakeholders in the Ukraine war such as the USA or France (footage confirming direct US and Western involvement in Ukraine has circulated on telegram for some time now). Indeed, just two months ago, the Atlantic Council’s “disinformation censorship” arm, DFR Lab, put out a video singling out Telegram for criticism. Two months later, Durov was arrested in France. Funny how that works!
The Atlantic Council, by the way, is funded by both the US Government and various Ukrainian oligarchs.
The larger geopolitical context of Durov’s arrest is perhaps the most interesting. Despite US regime propaganda trying to pin Durov as a Russian agent, Durov in fact lived as a Russian exile and was starkly at odds with the Russian government, precisely because he wouldn’t compromise Telegram’s privacy on behalf of Russia’s demands.
Durov’s life in UAE, which has staked out something of a neutral role in the US-Russia conflict as a geopolitical Switzerland, can be seen as an experimental attempt to live a life as a functionally stateless, neutral tech oligarch who shows neither fear nor favor to any of the multiple intelligence agencies approaching him. Durov’s recent arrest shows the limitations of this approach and seems to underscore that once one reaches a certain level in things, neutrality is impossible, and there is no escaping the great geopolitical/censorship chess game taking place for the highest stakes imaginable.
We hope we are wrong on this last point and will continue to follow this case with tremendous interest.

Breaking: President Trump Plants The Seed For Hillary Clinton Arrest!

President Trump expresses regret for not arresting Hillary Clinton during his first term and says things are different now.

“Everybody said lock her up, lock her up and I used to go easy,” Trump said.

“I said wouldn’t it be terrible…some people were upset when I did this but you have to look at it differently now --- I said wouldn’t it be terrible to put the wife of a former President in prison.”

First men jailed for riot-related social media posts

The first jail terms for using social media to encourage disorder in the recent unrest have been handed down.
Jordan Parlour is believed to be the first person to be sent to prison over social media posts made in relation to the nationwide riots.
Unrest erupted after online posts falsely identified the suspected killer of three young girls in a knife attack in Southport.
Parlour was sentenced to 20 months in prison at Leeds Crown Court after pleading guilty to publishing written material intended to stir racial hatred.
UK riots latest: More than 700 disorder-related arrests so far. His mother submitted a note to court saying: "We can only speculate that he has been caught up and swept away by emotions circulating around the country." The 28-year-old wrote that "every man and his dog should smash [the] f*** out of Britannia hotel (in Leeds)" in a Facebook post in early August. Taking aim at asylum seekers in another post, he wrote: "They are over here given a life of Riley off the tax of us hard-working people earn when it could be put to better use... come here with no work visa, no trade to their name and sit and doss." The judge heard how the Britannia Hotel in Seacroft, Leeds, where 210 asylum seekers and refugees were living, was targeted by people throwing missiles and breaking windows, forcing it into "lockdown".
Further damage was done to the hotel after the post, the court heard, and more than a dozen police had to be diverted to the area over the weekend. Parlour had suffered a broken heel and was at home when he wrote the posts, which were reported to the police. Passing sentence, Judge Guy Kearl KC said: "You took to social media in order to encourage others towards participation in the attacks upon the hotel. "The initial post received six likes. However, it was sent to your 1,500 Facebook friends and, because of your lack of privacy settings, will have been forwarded to friends of your friends. "The messages were therefore spread widely, which was plainly your intention."

Parlour was not the only person sent to prison for social media posts.
Tyler Kay was jailed for 38 months after using social media to encourage people to torch hotels housing asylum seekers. The 26-year-old, from Northampton, called for mass deportations and his posts on X revealed a "fundamentally racist mindset", Judge Adrienne Lucking KC told Northampton Crown Court. The court heard Kay's posts called for mass deportation and advised protesters to "mask up". He also retweeted a screenshot of a message inciting action against a named immigration solicitors in the town. Judge Lucking said Kay posted as he did because he thought there would be "no consequences".
"The overall tone of the posts clearly reveals your fundamentally racist mindset," she said. She added: "I am sure that when you intentionally created the posts you intended that racial hatred would be stirred up by your utterly repulsive, racist and shocking posts that have no place in a civilised society." The dad-of-three was convicted of stirring up racial hatred.

Richard Williams
Williams, who encouraged people to start a riot on a local Facebook group dedicated to protests, became the first person from Wales to be convicted on Friday.

>>144174

'Not a law free zone'
More than 741 people have now been arrested in connection with the unrest, of which 302 have been charged, the National Police Chiefs' Council said on Friday.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said he is "absolutely convinced" having extra police officers on the streets "in the right places" over the past few days - as well as putting rioters - through the courts quickly has "had a real impact" after 100 planned protests failed to materialise on Wednesday evening. The former lawyer also reiterated those who incite violence online will be prosecuted, saying the government does need to look "more broadly" at social media following the unrest. "This is not a law free zone," he said. "And I think that's clear from the prosecutions and sentencing today for online behaviour. "That's a reminder to everyone that whether you're directly involved or whether you're remotely involved, you're culpable and you will be put before the courts if you've broken the law."
Meanwhile, Cabinet Office minister Nick Thomas-Symonds told Sky News on Friday the government would revisit the framework of legislation that regulates the responsibilities of social media companies regarding content inciting violence or hate. "We stand ready to make changes if necessary," he said of the Online Safety Act, passed in October, but not due to come into effect until next year.

'Soviet Russia', says Joe Rogan
However, high-profile figures in the US, including billionaire X owner Elon Musk and right-wing podcaster Joe Rogan, have criticised British police for going after rioters on social media. Rogan said the "crackdown" reminds him of "Soviet Russia" while Musk shared a Sky News post of the director of public prosecutions warning that sharing online material of riots could be an offence. Musk's repost said: "This is actually happening."

Shortly after the shooter was confirmed dead an AFT employee appeared on the roof and took cell phone photos of the SN of the rifle used. The ATF then looked up in their illegal database the name and address of the purchaser of the rifle. The legal method for the ATF to trace a firearm is by contacting the manufacture for the name and address of the FLL that the gun was sold too then going to that FLL to view the ATF Form 4473 filled out by the person who purchased the firearm from the FLL

ATF traced Trump rally shooter’s gun using records stored in West Virginia and opposed by some in GOP
Perry Stein The Washington Post

Soon after a Secret Service sniper killed the man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump, officers grabbed the AR-style weapon by the shooter’s body and started to record its make, model and any details they could glean.
The young man carried no ID. If the gun was purchased legally from a licensed dealer, law enforcement officials hoped to use the serial number etched onto the side of the weapon to figure out who he was.
They were able to do so in about 30 minutes, federal law enforcement officials said in a statement. The search used sale records from an out-of-business gun store that the government is required to collect - but which Republican lawmakers and the gun lobby would like to place off-limits.
The attempted assassination of a former president and current White House nominee gave the public a glimpse into “the time pressure that law enforcement, the ATF agents and our local police partners are under to solve these cases and advance the investigation,” said Steven Dettelbach, director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. “Having the ability to search the records is absolutely a big part” of that work.
The federal government is prohibited from compiling a national database of gun owners. Those who oppose allowing the government to collect records from shuttered gun shops said they are equivalent to such a database, which they believe could be used to track and punish law-abiding gun owners, even though the records cannot be searched by a person’s name.
ATF, which is responsible for regulating sales and licensing of firearms, is allowed to keep sale records only from gun stores that have closed. The nation’s 80,000 or so operating licensed gun dealers are required to maintain their own records, with law enforcement agencies contacting the shops directly if they need to identify the buyer of a weapon used in a crime.
“They could make a door-to-door confiscation list with these out-of-business records and that’s a huge threat to the Second Amendment,” said Aidan Johnston, director of federal affairs at Gun Owners of America, which has backed legislation that would destroy the types of records that ATF relied on to trace the firearm to the Trump rally shooter.
While Trump was receiving medical treatment Saturday, law enforcement officials at the Butler, Pa., rally site called employees of the National Tracing Center in West Virginia, which is open 24 hours a day, to relay the serial number and other details of the shooter’s weapon, according to people briefed on the tracing process who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal details of the probe.
That was step one.
From there, a West Virginia employee searched the serial number in the ATF computer system, which found the licensed dealer that sold that firearm. The weapon was purchased at a now-closed gun store by a man who lived in Bethel Park, Pa. - about an hour from the rally site. Since the business was no longer operating, the ATF’s West Virginia facility had the federal form the buyer completed.
Some of the records at the facility are only in paper form. But the sale records for this closed shop had been digitized, according to people familiar with the investigation. Employees searched through scanned copies until they landed on one that matched the serial number of the gun used in the assassination attempt.
Within roughly a half-hour of the tracing center receiving the weapon’s serial number, officials learned that the father of 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks purchased the weapon in 2013. Authorities soon identified the younger Crooks as the gunman in the shooting and later said they have no evidence that the father purchased the gun for his son to use.

The identification of Crooks reflects a speeded-up version of the traces that occur hundreds of thousands of times each year when authorities find a gun potentially linked to a crime and discover it was purchased at a store that has since closed. A typical request takes seven or eight days to complete. An urgent request can take up to a day. That’s a dramatic improvement in turnaround from two years ago, according to ATF data.
But officials familiar with the tracing of Crooks’s weapon said the request was pushed to the front of the line. It helped that the gun was purchased legally and that Crooks’s father was the original owner. Officials say more and more crimes are linked to “ghost guns” - weapons made from homemade kits that can be assembled into firearms - which typically do not have serial numbers and cannot be traced.
Dettelbach says that ATF is well within the bounds of the law and is not maintaining a registry by keeping the records. The West Virginia center, he said, is filled with tons of boxes of records from defunct gun dealers. While most have now been digitized, he said, searching them is still a cumbersome process.
The records are organized by the name of the shuttered gun dealer, with officials needing to manually open each of the scanned records to match a weapon’s serial number to a record that identifies the person who purchased the firearm.
Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Tex.) introduced legislation last year that would force ATF to discard their closed-business records and prohibit closed gun dealers from turning over their records. The bill has 78 Republican co-sponsors but has not received a committee or full House vote. Cloud declined to comment for this article.
Last week, Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) tacked an amendment onto the appropriations bill for the Justice Department, which oversees ATF, that would prevent the agency from using money to maintain digital copies of its out-of-business records. The amendment passed a committee vote and is now up for a vote on the full House floor.
“The ATF is brazenly violating the law by recording out of business records - creating the foundation for a digital gun registry,” Clyde said in a statement. “I’ve long warned that gun registration inevitably leads to gun confiscation.”
ATF officials say they receive nearly 7 million pages of records each month from licensed gun dealers that are closing their businesses, representing upward of hundreds of thousands of gun sales. In all, ATF officials say, they processed 7.6 million gun trace requests between 2000 and 2021, with 53 percent of those traces completed using closed-business records. ATF is typically assisting local and federal law enforcement in their investigations and does not track how many crimes have been solved through the traces.
Until 2022, closed shops previously had to hand over 20 years of records. Then the Biden administration changed the regulations to require stores to hand over all their records when they go out of business.
The agency has received nearly 1 billion pages of records, with more coming each month, much of it in paper form. At one point, officials said, the West Virginia facility held so many paper records that the floors started sagging, prompting them to speed up their digitization process and build temporary structures to store the records in the parking lot.
Republican critics of ATF have proposed slashing its $1.6 billion budget by more than 10 percent, which Dettlebach said would impact efforts to maintain the trove of closed-business records and deploy agents to work with federal and local law enforcement agencies investigating gun crimes.
"When our partners call us, we go,” Dettlebach said. “But we need the tools to support law enforcement.”

In the end, Paschal waffled in every direction, so that not only Henry V, but also the bishops and cardinals no longer trusted he could lead the Church with any believable authority. Clearly, Paschal had been honest with the Sacred College who elected him: monastic life had not equipped him to deal with the weighty problems confronting the papacy in such troubling times. And although he followed the lead of his predecessors he met with little success. Several times he was forced to flee Rome as one or another contingent sought to grab power, including no less than four anti-popes. Paschal received support from King Philip and the French people, but not from Germany from which Henry V, the Emperor, came. He was, however, successful in mediating a dispute between King Henry I (of England) and the archbishop of Canterbury, the pious Anselm. Through the work of a papal delegation and further mediation by Queen Matilda, a concordat was concluded between the king and the archbishop that prevented clergy from being invested by a monarch. In return, before their consecration, they first had to take an oath to the king.

The feud between Archbishop Anselm and Henry I was of utmost importance since the King had exiled the archbishop and confiscated all the assets of the Church.

In 1113, Pope Paschal officially recognized the Knights of Malta as a religious order through a papal bulla. The Order was founded in Jerusalem around 1050. It is still functioning today as one of the oldest Catholic Orders in the world. The Order’s mission is to protect the Catholic faith and to care for the sick and the poor. While they provide protection at various sporting events as part of their mission today, they can also be found in some of the most dangerous zones in the world aiding the poor. They celebrated their 900th anniversary in Rome in 2013.

The first Crusade to recover Jerusalem from the Muslims occurred at the beginning of Paschal’s reign, but he was unable to repair relations with Eastern Christianity because of his insistence on the supremacy of the Bishop of Rome, and because he had also supported another Crusade that sought to usurp lands in the East not rightfully theirs.

Paschal spent his final years squabbling with the Emperor and excommunicating anyone who supported him.

Despite his poor aptitude at diplomatic work in his papacy, he did repair buildings and restore various churches, one of them, right before his last flight from Rome due to bloody riots. Although he returned in January of 1118, he died at Castel Sant’ Angelo amidst new riots. He was buried in the Lateran after an unhappy reign as pontiff.
