I'm grateful Alan Dershowitz has lived long enough to learn that Woody Allen and Jeffrey Epstein were ridiculing him behind his back.
Allen to Epstein in the Epstein files: "Did you have to read the Alan Dershowitz article in the New York Times?" Epstein to Allen: "Yes. It's already only Alan for Alan." Allen to Epstein in the Epstein files: "Exactly. I thought he came off as an asshole." Epstein to Allen: "accurate" Allen to Epstein: "He's the biggest self-promoter I've ever met. It's quite laughable how desperate he is. Also the biggest name dropper. It's [sic] makes me shutter [sic] it [sic] so embarrassing. He has no shame." Epstein to Allen: "Worse than you know." Allen to Epstein: "I can't imagine it being worse. It's insufferable."

Tomorrow: My 13,500 word historical and financial analysis on how the AI Bubble is magnitudes worse than the Dot Com Bubble, with a contagion that will spread throughout the global markets and our society.

Here's $10 off annual.

edzitronswheresyouredatghostio.outpost.pub/public/promo...
I Am Deeply Worried About How Not Like The Dot Com Bubble This Is I spent hours and hours reading old articles through broken paywalls and archive.org links in the hopes I’d find some sort of positive spin - a way that the AI bubble wasn’t as bad, some sliver or nugget of joy, some shred of hope, and everything I’ve read has made me more and more worried. The real problem is that there are similarities, but only with the worst parts of both bubbles. We’ve got stupid amounts of money being sunk into stuff. We’ve got stupid companies that want to IPO. We’ve got hopeless startups juiced up by credulous venture capitalists and marketed by even-more credulous journalists. Except this time we have the worst margins this side of a vineyard planted in Las Vegas Nevada, and despicable boosters that will go to war with you to try and prove you wrong using ghost stories, fairy tales and pixie dust. I realize I’m being a little cavalier and colloquial about this, and that’s because I feel utterly emotionally drained by this - things are so much worse than I thought. I really felt like I’d dig into the past and find that there were direct, obvious similarities, and thus have some degree of hope that things wouldn’t be apocalyptic. Instead, I’m convinced that things will be much, much worse. The dot com bubble was relatively distributed, and created useful infrastructure. The ideas of some of the most prominent dot com startups were valid, but based on stupid hypergrowth business models that didn’t make sense and were only sustained through mass hysteria and ignorance. By comparison, AI startups are fundamentally illogical, selling unreliable software that’s best-known for its consistent mistakes and active harms backed by the corrosive and ever-worsening infrastructural costs. And they’re the customers of the largest company on the stock market, that can only keep its valuation, on which the markets depend, by selling more of an expensive-to-buy and more-expensive-to-ins… The Logical Endpoint Of My Argument Depending on how right I am, I worry that the following will happen: NVIDIA will lose anywhere from 40% to 90% of its revenue, which will annihilate the value of the S&P 500. Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Meta will face massive, multi-billion dollar impairments within the next few years. Oracle will face potential bankruptcy or at least a severe, horrendous series of layoffs and restructuring efforts to try and right the ship after agreeing to $248 billion in lease obligations primarily to get the revenue from its $300 billion, 5-year-long deal with OpenAI, a company that is going to run out of money in the next year. Venture capital is going to take such a severe haircut from the AI bubble that it will effectively kill any chances of raising a round after Series B for many, many years. Those $178.5 billion in data center debt deals will be predominantly underwater, leading to massive losses for private equity and banks (leading to a chill in effectively all debt markets), and massive job losses across the many, many construction projects that have started as a result of the AI bubble. If OpenAI or Anthropic can manage to go public, every investor will lose out as they collapse under the weight of their bullshit assumptions. Every partner, every company relying on them, every infrastructure provider will be burned. I also believe that we, as a society, will face a violent paradigm shift as a result of the AI bubble bursting, because it revealed how many people do not understand stuff. The amount of bosses, influencers, movie stars, politicians and other individuals of note that have fallen behind generative AI and claimed again and again that it can do things that it can’t and perpetuated myths that will lead to massive societal harms both today and in the future have revealed themselves as fucking frauds. It’s been obvious since 2023 that generative AI flat out does not do what many people say it will and obvious since 2024 t… And believe me, even if I’m half right, things will likely be so much worse than when the dot com bubble burst. I don’t see a scenario where anything survives the collapse of CoreWeave, let alone the collapse of OpenAI. I don’t see a scenario where any more than a few AI startups survive, and if that happens, there won’t be any customers for those GPUs - not that anywhere near enough existed to fill even a tiny percentile of the demand. On some level, I hope I’m wrong. I just don’t know how anymore.

Ellis repeatedly accuses multiple CBP and ICE officials of lying (under oath) and says their "widespread misrepresentations call into question everything" they "say they are doing in their characterization of what is happening." She broadly discredits their testimony as objectively false.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just handed down the written opinion version of her preliminary injunction order, regarding use of force by federal agents in Chicago.

It's the one already put on hold by the 7th Circuit.

It's 233 pages.

Judge Ellis derides Greg Bovino as a serial fabulist who brazenly lied on the stand and seemingly considered it funny to perjure himself. cst.brightspotcdn.com/49/34/daecfb...
Turning to Bovino, the Court specifically finds his testimony not credible. Bovino appeared evasive over the three days of his deposition, either providing “cute” responses to Plaintiffs’ counsel’s questions or outright lying. When shown a video of agents hitting Rev. Black with pepper balls, Bovino denied seeing a projectile hit Rev. Black in the head. Doc. 191- 3 at 162:21–165:17; Doc. 22-44 (Ex. 44 at 0:10–12, available at https://spaces.hightail.com/space/ZzXNsei63k). In another video shown to Bovino, he obviously tackles Scott Blackburn, one of Plaintiffs’ declarants. Doc. 191-3 at 172:13–173:7; Doc. 22-45 (Ex. 45 at 0:19–30, available at https://spaces.hightail.com/space/ZzXNsei63k). But instead of admitting to using force against Blackburn, Bovino denied it and instead stated that force was used against him.

Today it was confirmed that the president told the world's most infamous pedophile and child sex trafficker: "We have certain things in common."

For any other president, it would be the biggest scandal of their lives, possibly career-ending.

For Trump, it's just Monday.

The Wall Street Journal just published the photo of the birthday letter from Trump to Epstein.

www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
A stylized letter in the shape of a woman’s torso with dialogue printed inside. The text is a back-and-forth exchange labeled “Voice Over,” “Donald,” and “Jeffrey,” discussing life, enigmas, and friendship. At the bottom, it ends with “A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday—and may every day be another wonderful secret.” Signed “Donald J. Trump” with his signature. A caption below reads: “A photo of the letter, which has been turned over to Congress by the Epstein estate.”

(🚨) The Proof Project is celebrating the revelation that Trump lied to America and the justice system about his pedophilic birthday note to Epstein—both text and image are pedophilic—by releasing Book Two of PROOF OF DEVILRY (pp. 201-400) for FREE.

The full story is *so* much worse than you know.
{Book 2} Proof of Devilry: The Crimes of Donald Trump, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Jeffrey Epstein
The available evidence places Trump, Epstein, and Maxwell at the heart of a multistate and multinational child sex-, sex- and human-trafficking ring whose discovery could change the course of history.

Just a photo of Epstein happily holding up a novelty check, made to look like Donald Trump paid him $22,500 in exchange for a “fully depreciated” woman from Epstein.
raptorama.bsky.social Raptorama @raptorama.bsky.social · Sep 8
Sorry to make it worse but there's a part of the WSJ article that no one is talking about that I had to share with someone.
The Epstein estate also turned over another letter from the book that references Trump. It came from businessman and longtime Mar-a-Lago member Joel Pashcow, who made a crude joke about a woman that Trump and Epstein socialized with in the 1990s, according to people familiar with the matter. The Pashcow letter included a photo of a posterboard-sized check for $22,500, which had been mocked up to appear that it was sent from Trump to Epstein. Beneath it, a handwritten caption said: “Jeffrey showing early talents with money + women sells ‘fully depreciated’ [redacted] to Donald Trump for $22,500.” The woman’s name is redacted in the image. Photo of three men holding a check for $22,500 made out to Jeffrey Epstein, with handwritten notes discussing the transaction. Pashcow and his attorney didn’t respond to requests for comment. A lawyer for the woman said she doesn’t know Pashcow and has no knowledge of the letter naming her, which the lawyer called a “disgusting and deeply disturbing hoax.” Letter which reads: "Jeffary showing early talents with money + Women! Sells "Fully depreciated" [Name Redacted] to Donald Trump for 22,500$. Showed early "people skilld" too. Even though I handled the deal I didn't get any of the money on the girl!
