๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ EUโ€™s Orwellian Move Against Free Speech

The European Commission is warning Elon Musk that tonightโ€™s live stream with Trump could violate the Digital Services Act (DSA). The letter hints at potential censorship, using phrases like "we wonโ€™t hesitate to use our full toolbox... to protect EU citizens from serious harm."

This kind of censorship is why Monero stands as a beacon of privacy and freedom. Monero ensures your financial transactions remain untraceable, beyond the reach of prying eyes and Orwellian control. Even Edward Snowden recommends using Monero for privacyโ€”because freedom matters.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ—ฝGuess Who's Back?

Donald Trump makes his explosive return to X (Twitter) after a 3.5-year hiatus, marking a major boost for his 2024 campaign. After being banned post-January 6th, Trump's suspension was lifted in November 2022, but he remained loyal to Truth Social (his social media company)โ€”until now.

Tonight, he's set to join Elon Musk in a no-holds-barred X Space interview at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT. The stage is set for Trump to unleash his unfiltered thoughts on a platform that once silenced him. Buckle up, it's going to be one wild ride!

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Gallant Slams Bibi's โ€˜Total Victoryโ€™ as Illusion โ€“ Is Israel Admitting Defeat?

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has openly dismissed Netanyahu's "total victory" over Hamas as sheer "nonsense" during a classified Knesset meeting. As Israel grapples with its next move, Gallant argues that the rhetoric from Netanyahu and his far-right allies is nothing more than empty war drum beats. Gallant's stanceโ€” supposedly favoring a hostage deal and ceasefireโ€”suggests a sharp internal rift and possibly a grim acknowledgment of the limits of Israel's military ambitions.

Bibi's "total victory" narrative is rapidly losing credibility within his own ranks, and Israelโ€™s refusal to negotiate anything short of annihilation will just push the region closer to the abyss of WWIII. Netanyahu's approach appears increasingly disconnected from reality, raising questions about Israelโ€™s long-term strategy and whether it's truly in Israelโ€™s interest to stoke a broader, unwinnable war. It seems Israel's very existence is at stake if Netanyahu continues down this suicidal path.

๐Ÿ›ก Enhancing Privacy with Monero: The Future of Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMPs) ๐Ÿ›ก

Monero is taking privacy to the next level with the development of Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMPs). Unlike the current ring signature system, FCMPs will significantly boost the anonymity of transactions, making it nearly impossible to trace individual transactions. This upgrade not only strengthens Monero's privacy but also enhances its fungibility, ensuring that every Monero coin remains identical in the eyes of users.

Monero is once again proving its commitment to being the leading privacy-focused cryptocurrency, offering robust, untraceable digital cash for the future.

This is a man that believes fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian, is the greatest ROI for America. So of course he cheers on the needless death of thousands more Ukrainians in Kursk.

Joe looks and sounds like he is barely alive and I echo that there is no pleasure in saying that.

Seems like Kamala can take credit for quite a lot over these past 4 years and it's not a glowing resume.

Has this been a de facto third term for Biden?

Being fair this X space with Trump and Elon this has been a bit of a rambling let down. In saying that there has been a much more substantive exchange of ideas and values than we see with AI Kamala. A real race to the bottom sadly.

Again, it's clear this Space isn't scripted!

๐Ÿ” Monero's True Fungibility: What It Means and Why It Matters

Fungibility means that every unit of a currency is identical and interchangeable with any other unit. For example, one dollar is the same as any other dollar. This is crucial for a currency to function as money.

Monero (XMR) is truly fungible because all coins are indistinguishable from one another. Thanks to Monero's privacy features, no transaction history can taint or trace a specific coin.

On the other hand, Bitcoinโ€”despite being a groundbreaking assetโ€”is not fungible. Bitcoin's transparent ledger allows every coin to be traced back to its origin. This means certain coins can be "blacklisted" or deemed "tainted" based on their transaction history, leading to potential issues with acceptance and exchange.

In contrast, Monero's design ensures that no one can track or trace your funds, making it a superior choice for those who value financial privacy and a truly fungible currency.

๐Ÿ” Choose Monero for privacy. Choose Monero for fungibility.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ Situation in the #Kursk Direction by the End of 12 August 2024โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ”นUkrainian formations are making attempts to expand their encroachments deep into Russian territories. At the same time, more and more footage is appearing on the Net demonstrating the successful defeat of AFU armoured vehicles and militants by Russian troops.

๐Ÿ”ปIn the #Korenevo district, in the vicinity of #Snagost, where the enemy had previously launched an attack on the RFAF positions, the situation is hidden by the "fog of war". The situation in #Krasnooktyabrsky has also not been clarified, while there have been no reports of enemy units entering the settlement.

๐ŸŸก#Kremyanoye, where the presence of AFU units was previously recorded, have cleared by Russian troops. During the battle, the enemy lost at least one Roshel Senator armoured vehicle, abandoned by the crew south of the settlement. It is worth noting that in this case, the vanguard of Ukrainian formations was probably ambushed by Russian troops and, without the support of heavy equipment, was defeated.

๐ŸŸกIn the area of #Korenevo and #Tolpinskoye, Ukrainian formations launched an attack with the support of armoured vehicles in order to break through the Russian defences. The enemy's onslaught was successfully repelled by Russian units, while the AFU, apparently, rolled back to their initial positions.

๐Ÿ”ปIn the #Sudzha district, the situation remains stably tense. Over the day, enemy videos appeared on the Net, demonstrating the AFU presence in the central districts of #Sudzha, as well as in the area of #Martynovka, and, according to reports from the field, the presence of the enemy was recorded in the settlement during the day.

โ—๏ธNevertheless, it is premature to declare full control of the AFU over #Sudzha, based solely on footage from the enemy, since at least some of the videos were recorded a few days ago. At the moment, there is no official information from Russian authorities and personnel of objective control by the RFAF.

๐Ÿ”ปIn the #Belaya district, Russian units are fighting in #Plekhovo; there have been no reports that the settlement coming under AFU control. At the same time, it is known that the enemy occupied #Spalnoye, through which Ukrainian mobile groups subsequently entered deep into Russian territory.

๐ŸŸกIn the morning, Ukrainian military equipment was spotted in the #Girya area. Judging by the ๐Ÿ‘‰ footage, the enemy entered from the southwest from #Kamyshnoye. As we noted earlier, the number of the armoured group that broke through to the settlement was higher than initially expected.

๐Ÿ“Œ Nevertheless, for the enemy, the attack on #Giryi resulted in the most significant one-time losses of personnel and equipment recorded to date: at least 7 BTR-4E APCs were destroyed, one of them was captured by the RFAF as a trophy. 1 pickup of the Ukrainian forces was also destroyed and an unspecified amount of militants was eliminated.

๐Ÿ“‹๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ #Kursk Region - #Summary for the Morning of 13 August 2024; 06:59 (GMT+3)๐Ÿ“

๐Ÿ”นThe enemy continues to try to expand its zone of control by launching raids. Thus, by nightfall, enemy infantry on 3 AFVs were reported from the field, attacking our positions near the settlement of #Snagost. It is not clear who is in charge of the settlement now.

๐Ÿ”นOver the past day, the AFU rolled up on #Korenevo, but were repulsed. The enemy suffered the heaviest losses during two days of fighting near #Martynovka. Apti Alaudinov reported in the evening that 37+12 enemy AFVs were destroyed respectively. In the morning, the AFU again began pulling equipment to this front section. Their task is to break through our defence and reach #Kurchatov via #Lyubimovka.

๐Ÿ”นThe enemy used aircraft to attack ground targets yesterday. Our aviation works much more intensively than the enemy's. The results of the destruction of enemy equipment from the ground and air have finally passed all stages of approval and began to appear on the Net yesterday in a wide stream.

๐Ÿ”น#Sudzha is in the grey zone, if we speak in general terms. Local residents write about the periodic presence of the AFU in the town, the enemy publishes videos from the southwestern part, the date of which is unknown. It is not possible to withdraw the residents to our rear. In total, according to official data there are 2,000 civilians left behind enemy lines in the occupied territory.

๐Ÿ”นNear #Giryi, Belovsky district, enemy equipment was destroyed ๐ŸŽฌ๐Ÿ‘‡after data was received about the breakthrough of an enemy armoured group. 7 APC-4Es, an M113 APC, a pickup truck and up to 50 enemy militants were annihilated.

๐Ÿ”นThe situation is not completely stabilised. The enemy is conducting raids on a wide front to seize territory, trying to stretch our forces along the front. In conditions of disgusting communication often wastes precious time to clarify the situation to make combat decisions. During the day the intensity of fighting will only increase, in the morning the AFU used aircraft to strike in the area of #Tyotkino. This direction also remains dangerous for tanks. In addition, the threat of an attempt to organise raids in the direction of #Tyotkino and #Troyebornoye cannot be ruled out. The enemy is trying to solve the problem of a breakthrough to #Rylsk, #Lgov, #Kurchatov.

๐Ÿ”นYesterday's all-day raids on the #Kolotilovka checkpoint on the #Belgorod border section also showed the enemy's aspirations in this direction. Not counting losses, the enemy was climbing all day long, baring his teeth against the border guards and the RFAF. Against the #Bryansk section of the border, the presence of the enemy was also recorded.
