And why? Withheld warnings, throttled Starlink, two international criminals--Trump & Musk--who see other people as lint to wipe off a sweater.
Olga and Cliff Schecter go into details on Elon Musk—his security clearance, his reported calls with Putin, and why Cliff explains why no one should have $500 billion and the ability to answer to no one--no individual, no elected body, no country, and not the international community.

The web in a phrase.

The web was revolutionary when it came out, we needed a fresh start, the personal computer world was a complete mess. There was no networking standard.
