Ignoring the fact that Ashley #StClair is a right-wing #conservative who'll do anything to stay in the spotlight, this #WSJ article about Elon's "legion of babies" is absolutely crazy.
Apparently, #Musk wants to "reach legion-level" of children "before the apocalypse."
#WSJ #Trump administration is withdrawing from some types of #whitecollar law #enforcement, including cases involving #foreign #bribery, public #corruption, #moneylaundering and #crypto markets effectively redefining what business conduct constitutes a #crime. #WhiteHouse #executiv order in Feb said #bribery prosecutions hurt the ability of #US companies to compete #overseas, punishing them for practices that are #routine in some parts of the world. #WTF https://www.ncja.org/crimeandjusticenews/doj-is-leaving-some-kinds-of-white-collar-crime-enforcement #ElSalvador
**Trump's Lightning-Fast Tariffs: The Legal Logistics Behind His Process**
“_President Trump skipped the normal months-long process to impose tariffs and instead used a 1970s to bypass them. This leaves him open to legal challenges and actions from Congress._”

@LinuxAndYarn @GossiTheDog I've to applaud #WSJ for showing how much #Apple is shafting #consumers with overpriced #parts, because even if the #battery had only 10% tariff there's no reason for a #replacement part to cost more than $50.

If you're wondering why the pundit class and the mainstream media organizations that employ them have been so tepid in their criticism of Trump, so unwilling to name the fascist beast and draw the logical conclusions the regime's actions imply, perhaps it's because they know they've been complicit in this fascist nightmare? As Joan Westenberg notes in this brilliant March 15th drag out piece, the normalization of the fascist ideology the Trump regime is running on now has many fathers in American society, and not all of them are folks who'd want to be known as supporters of MAGA fascism; but that's precisely the role they've served, for personal gain:

The Pundit Class Played Devil’s Advocate. Now the Devil’s at the Door.
"A revolving door of New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post columnists made a career of platforming people who—either blatantly or through implication—argued that transgender people shouldn't exist. That democracy had "gone too far." They raged against "wokeism" because they couldn’t conceive of a world where it wouldn’t prevail. They bemoaned "cancel culture" not because they cared about free speech, but because they mistakenly believed the right-wing ideologues they dined with had been cast out for good.
In their intellectual stupor, they decided that the forces of social change were so overpowering and unstoppable that the world needed a voice to speak up against them in an infernal balancing act. And it felt daring, didn't it? To be the literary equivalent of the Cool Girl—not like those Other Girls who care about freedom, equity, history, and common sense.
They dressed themselves up as the beatniks of cultural commentary. They convinced themselves of their "underground" status. They basked in institutional protection, indulging in a self-congratulatory circle-jerk of mock dissent where the stakes were always someone else's problem. They positioned themselves as lone voices against an imagined tide of unthinking dogma, pretending that they were fighting against orthodoxy when, in reality, they were just reinforcing the status quo with a hipster filter. They weren't holding truth to power. They were selling a brand: rebellion without responsibility, provocation without principle, and the posture of dissent with none of the burden of consequence.
They dined on the aesthetic of courage without ever taking a risk. And why not? The market for disaffected liberals playing footsie with fascists was lucrative and full of opportunities for highbrow grift."

#Trump cannot take criticism even from the #WSJ, especially if #Trudeau is quoting it.
“Please explain to Governor Trudeau, of Canada, that when he puts on a Retaliatory Tariff on the U.S., our Reciprocal Tariff will immediately increase by a like amount!” – #IdiotInChief
Note “Governor Trudeau” as if Canada is the 51st state of the #UnitedStates. 
#Trudeau: “They’ve chosen to launch a #TradeWar that will first & foremost harm American families.”
Noting that #Canada’s #border measures in response to the US #tariff threats brought seizures of #fentanyl from Canada at the #US border to “a near-zero low of less than half an ounce” last month. “We stepped up…We did everything we promised.”
Trudeau appeals to #Trump directly, addressing him as “Donald” & citing the #WSJ says, “You’re a very smart guy, but this is a very dumb thing to do.”
#Trump Takes the Dumbest #Tariff Plunge
He says the 25% levies on #Mexico & #Canada will begin Tues. Stocks fall.
by The #WSJ Editorial Board
We’ve courted Trump’s ire by calling the Mexico & Canada levies the “dumbest” in history, & we may have understated the point.

The WSJ is Fox News. The Wall Street Journal, like Fox News, is owned by global fascist billionaire Murdoch, with multiple communication and news systems across the globe.
The Wall Street Journal is not REPORTING a fascist takeover, it is arranging a fascist takeover.

Imagine thinking the Partition, which killed almost 2 million people, is something we should emulate in the 21st Century.
Then imagine saying it from a broadsheet American newspaper, and expecting it to be welcomed and debated seriously.

Passkey/password bug: iOS 18.3.1
Ook in iOS versie 18.3.1 is de eerder door mij gemelde iCloud KeyChain (*) kwetsbaarheid nog niet gerepareerd (eerder schreef ik hierover, Engelstalig: https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/113821443334366419).
(*) Tegenwoordig is dat de app genaamd "Wachtwoorden" (of "Passwords").
De kwetsbaarheid bestaat indien:
• De eigenaar een "passcode" (pincode of wachtwoord) gebruikt om de iPhone of iPad te ontgrendelen - en er GÉÉN biometrie is geconfigureerd;
ofwel:
• De gebruiker wel biometrie kan gebruiken om het scherm te ontgrendelen, doch in 'Instellingen' > 'Touch ID en toegangscode' de instelling "Autom. invullen wachtw." is UITgezet.
Zie onderstaande screenshots (Engelstalig in https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/113821443334366419). Meer info ziet u door op "Alt" in de plaatjes te drukken.
Probleem: iedereen met toegang tot de ontgrendelde iPhone of iPad kan dan, *zonder* opnieuw lokaal te hoeven authenticeren:
1) Op elke website inloggen waarvan het user-ID en wachtwoord in iCloud Keychain zijn opgeslagen;
2) Met passkeys op enkele specifieke websites inloggen (waaronder https://account.apple.com en https://icloud.com), namelijk als volgt:
a) Open de website;
b) Druk op "Inloggen";
c) Druk op de "x" rechts bovenaan de pop-up die verschijnt (in de onderste schermhelft);
d) Druk kort in het veld waar om het e-mailadres gevraagd wordt;
e) Druk op de knop "gebruik passkey".
Risico: uitlenen van een unlocked iDevice (o.a. aan kinderen) maar ook diefstal nadat de passcode is afgekeken. Of als de dief geen passcode heeft, als deze wacht tot de eerstvolgende iOS/iPadOS kwetsbaarheid bekend wordt waarbij de schermontgrendeling omzeild kan worden.
Als u ze nog niet gezien heeft, bekijk in elk geval de eerste van de volgende twee video's van Joanna Stern (van de Wall Street Journal):

#DavidRemnick says to #JonStewart Feb 10 2025...
"It is happening right now. The president (#Trump) is over steeping executive power, not once, but in multiple ways..."
Fuck the #WallStreetJournal #WSJ
But this story is a perfect microcosm of our boring #capitalist #dystopia
1. #Commercial #healthcare death panels
2. #CustomerService #bureaucracy reps who don't care
And the cherry on top:
4. #MassMedia selling the #agenda of #plutocracy by describing the AI enshittification as "well, it's a nice development, see. It drives you into debt, makes you suffer, and kills you early... *cheerfully*"

“Katherine Long, the WSJ Reporter who uncovered the ugly racist background of Musk's operative Marko Elez, is to be commended for her tireless work on behalf of the American people. Thank you Katherine!"
- Aure
A key DOGE staff member who gained access to the Treasury Department’s central-payments system resigned Thursday after he was linked to a deleted social-media account that advocated racism and eugenics
#AureFreePress #News #press #headline #wsj #Musk
The #WSJ reports: The Central Intelligence Agency offered buyouts to its entire workforce Tuesday, in what officials said is a bid to bring the agency in line with President Trump’s priorities.
The agency is also freezing the hiring of job seekers already given a conditional offer, an aide to #CIA Director John Ratcliffe said. Some are likely to be rescinded if the applicants don’t have the right background for the agency’s new goals, which also include Trump’s trade war and undermining China, the aide said.
Now Spooks don’t need my help in recognizing stupid when they see it, but there is no authorization for funding this “buyout”. All this does, if anyone accepts the offer, is letting the Nazis know you’re their enemy. This is true at any agency where this “offer” is being made.
The CIA knows #psyop when they see it, but a lot of government workers may not. Do not fall for their lies. This is just a way to root out anyone not a #nazi.
