1 2 Byrne claims to have played important roles in various clandestine operations conducted on behalf of the United States Government. SUF 11 43-46. Byrne further claims that, at times, the requests for him to deploy his "unique" skills to help the United States have come directly from the highest levels of the U.S. government, 5 including President Barack Obama and FBI Director James Comey, personally, although they were communicated to Byrne verbally by unnamed special agents for the FBI. SUF 11 43-46. Byrne admits he has no documentation to support his self-aggrandizing claims— his activities purportedly have been too secret and dangerous for documentation although he has publicized his involvement those activities. SUF 10 11 12 13 41 43-46. Byrne claims that in 2021, his "handler," John Moynihan, a forensic accountant who investigated money laundering for the Drug Enforcement Administration for four years in the 1990s, introduced him to FBI Special Agent David Smith, whom Byrne claimed was a high-ranking member of a secret inter-agency group that Byrne calls 15 16 the "League of Shadows."

this is not just right-wing conspiracy claptrap, this is next-level completely unhinged, like raving lunatic stuff

Byrne—who’s close to a billionaire, if not a billionaire—says he was in a top-secret spy agency called the League of Shadows which uncovered evidence the Bidens sought bribes from Iran

He is actually psychotic. He got forced out as Overstock CEO when he spent a full day doing TV news hits where he was obviously having a complete manic break.

Whatever else may be said about these times, this is not a meek nation acquiescing to this Administration's most violent and authoritarian expression of state power. And it's notable that this is the strongest card Trump is playing.

On official UC letterhead: UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA James B. Milliken President Office of the President 1111 Franklin Street Oakland, CA 94607 universityofcalifornia.edu CAMPUSES Berkeley Davis Irvine UCLA Merced Riverside San Diego San Francisco Santa Barbara Santa Cruz MEDICAL CENTERS Davis Irvine UCLA San Diego San Francisco NATIONAL LABORATORIES Lawrence Berkeley Lawrence Livermore Los Alamos DIVISION OF AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES November 18, 2025 Dear Chancellors: I'm writing with regard to the President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (PPFP) and the program's associated faculty hiring incentive. As you know, for more than 40 years, PPFP has provided postdoctoral research fellowships, professional development, and faculty mentoring to scholars in all fields whose research, teaching, and service advance the academic and research missions of the University of California. Since 2003, UC campuses that hire current and former PPFP fellows into ladder-rank positions have been eligible for a hiring incentive funded by the University that provides support for newly hired fellows for five years. Since the creation of the incentive, more than $162 million has been invested by the University to support PPFP faculty hires. This commitment has enabled our campuses to successfully recruit and retain outstanding faculty across a range of disciplines. Given the myriad challenges currently facing UC - including disruptions to billions of dollars in annual federal support, as well as uncertainty around the state budget- reasonable questions were raised in recent months about whether the University could maintain the commitment to current levels of incentive funding. After considering a recommendation to sunset the incentive program due to these significant fiscal constraints, I consulted with all of you as well as faculty and campus academic administrators and systemwide Academic Senate leadership. [continued on next image]

After learning more about the history and success of the program and weighing the thoughtful perspectives that have been shared, I have concluded that barring extraordinary financial setbacks, the PPFP faculty hiring incentive program will continue while the University continues to assess the program's structure as well as its long-term financial sustainability. As a result of our continuing consultation and review, there may be consideration of some changes to elements of the program including the total number of incentives supported, a number that has fluctuated significantly over the years, and how the awards are distributed among campuses. In the meantime, the University will continue to fund the PPFP faculty hiring incentive program and campuses may continue to take advantage of these incentives. We will have an opportunity to discuss any potential changes prior to adoption. As we look to the future, I will continue to engage with faculty leaders, program stakeholders, and UC community members about this important program. I especially appreciate the thoughtful perspectives shared in recent weeks by Academic Council Chair Palazoglu and Vice Chair Scott, the Council of Graduate Deans, UC faculty members, and you as our campus leaders. Sincerely, James B. Milliken President

WE JUST KEEP WINNING. (UC President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program RESTORED!!!!)

Never ever let anyone tell you that being a pain in the ass is unhelpful.

Thank you to the incredible team of people--many of them former PPFP fellows--that REFUSED to take no for an answer and brought back a program that strengthens us all.

It become clear to me that way too many people have grown up not knowing anyone who’s life was ruined by polio, measles, and now mesothelioma because the public health system prevented it from happening

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

I lost a job for calling Charlie Kirk a Nazi, but this is cool.

Face Recognition and the ‘Trump Terror’: A Marriage Made in Hell | ACLU ICE and CBP are smashing their way not only through car windows but also through any constraints on the use of face recognition

ICE is using a new app called Mobile Fortify to scan people's faces and determine their immigration status.

The government's use of biased, unreliable facial recognition tech to supercharge its mass deportation campaign endangers all of our rights.

"ICE and CBP appear to be aggressively adopting face recognition as part of the destructive path they are bludgeoning through American communities and the Constitution."

One thing that really fucks up the gender discourse is the public--both men and women--not understanding that modern 40 year olds look better on average and are in better health than premodern 25 year olds.

Ppl imagine away all the deformities & frailties that a world w/o modern medicine imposed.

Cast of cheers

This comes up every few years, but it wasn't just premodern 25 year olds who were "older" than modern 40 year olds - the cast of Cheers here in the 1980s was in their early and mid 30s.

A government that can’t bring itself to tax fossil fuel, big tech or any wealth properly but defunds its critical institutions is not a good government, sorry
