I hope Musk listens to this. But on the off chance he doesn’t I also hope the fines start doubling each and every day.
All true. The Mossad have been considered one of the most effective and efficient agencies in the world … and terrifying in their single-mindedness to eradicate every Muslim on the planet.
Yes, but the Honduran law that allowed it was repealed 2 years ago.
Years later, Luisa Connor and Vanessa Cárdenas would look back ruefully on the day foreigners visited their beachfront village with plans for a development next door. They had no idea the effort was backed by Silicon Valley billionaires who wanted to build a “startup city,” or that a relatively new Honduran law would allow them to establish this semi-autonomous enclave. They could not foresee they would lead a fight against it that would launch their village into national politics and prompt an international legal dispute, threatening to bankrupt the country. They thought it was just another hotel.
Crawfish Rock is a fishing village of a few hundred people on the island of Roatán. It is the kind of place where children roam free, scouring the forest for iguanas or catching crabs under the Caribbean’s glassy waters.
It is also the site of Próspera ZEDE, a libertarian experiment in market-driven governance whose backers are suing Honduras for up to $10.775 billion. Prospera’s Delaware-based creator, Honduras Próspera Inc., argues its project has a right to continue operating even though the law that enabled it was repealed two years ago, and that it should retain that right for 50 years. To make this claim, Honduras Próspera cited a trade agreement Honduras signed with the United States, where the investors are based, and an unrelated treaty with Kuwait.
Israel’s spy agency Mossad, which has a long history of sophisticated operations on foreign soil, planted explosives inside pagers imported by Hezbollah months before Tuesday’s detonations, a senior Lebanese security source and another source told Reuters. Source
Experts generally believe a small mount of stable explosive was carefully implanted into each sabotaged device. Alan Woodward, a professor of cybersecurity at Surrey University, said: “There wouldn’t need to be much explosive, as proximity to a human body means it would cause injury even if it was a few grams.”
The first wave of explosions – which occurred from about 3.30pm local time on Tuesday – appear to have been triggered by a special message from Hezbollah leadership, implying, Woodward argued, a specific modification of the pagers’ embedded software. This meant it would trigger an explosion when the appropriate message was sent.
It may have been a default setting on the pagers, but the trigger message came with a cynical twist. Eyewitnesses say the pager bleeped, then paused, then detonated – giving enough time for them to be brought closer to the owner’s face – which is why Lebanese doctors reported treating multiple hand and eye injuries after the blast.

To help a company that’s been banned by the gov’t.
I guarantee you if it had been the American gov’t that banned a site and Cloudflare did this, they’d be called into Congress to answer questions immediately.
Israel’s pretty clearly targeting Hezbollah here, not random Lebanese.
Do you have proof for that statement?
The Mossad planted explosive devices in the walkie-talkies prior to Hezbollah receiving them so …
It shouldn’t be tho. Cloudflare is a single business and no single business should EVER have that kind of power over a gov’t.
It’s Cloudflare’s hubris showing in a very unstrategic way … and I hope Brazil/America/the world calls them on it.
The NYT says X is bypassing the block using Cloudflare, but if they block Cloudflare it means they block 24 million sites in Brazil. (I find it strange Cloudflare is jumping into this mess.)
Now, those same regulators are trying to figure out how to fight Mr. Musk’s latest workaround.
Technical experts said it would not be simple. X’s new approach relies on Cloudflare, a major internet-infrastructure provider based in San Francisco, to deliver its site in Brazil. Cloudflare helps route traffic for millions of websites, so blocking it in Brazil would have major consequences for internet users across the nation of 200 million.
Think of it as if X’s car was blocked in Brazil and so it just began using Uber to get around — and now regulators are weighing whether to block Uber for everyone in response.
“You can’t just block Cloudflare because you would block half of the internet,” said Basílio Perez, president of Abrint, the trade group for Brazilian internet providers. He said Cloudflare supported more than 24 million websites, including those of the Brazilian government and banks.

just as Zelenskyy could end the people fleeing Ukraine by accepting a peace deal.
But no bona fide peace deal has been put on the table. Putin’s demands have and that’s it.
So not the same things at all.
… and the more Russians flee, the more they have to do to get labor and troops.
Well technically they don’t ‘have’ to do that, ie: if Putin put his dick back in his pants and shut down the war, Russian citizens wouldn’t be leaving en masse.

The level of racist brutality in Israel always astounds me.
Are you saying that Palestinians had a role in 9/11?
Zelenskiy is an incredible leader. By his actions he’s shining a light on the greed and dumbfuckery too many other world leaders engage in.
Looking at you Putin, Xi, Modi, Maduro, etc etc
I have to wonder if Western nations actively recruiting foreign-trained medical staff hasn’t contributed to their lack thereof. I know my nation is working hard to get more medical workers here.
The IDF seems to be taking a stab at humility the last few weeks. What they don’t seem to realize that all their lies can never be forgiven because they admit to a few murders of their own people.
No, but some/many Israelis have been calling for the killing of Arabs (and Christians) for years.
