Comment Maduro is a gangster facing charges in court (Score 2, Informative) 204

Maduro has had a part in moving thousands of tons of cocaine into the United States (killing how many?) and has been in league with drug cartels, narco-terrorists, and terrorists. He is a gangster that had been running a corrupt gangster government with a history of human rights abuses. Venezuela 2024 Human Rights Report

With the aid of US Special Operations forces, United States law enforcement officers arrested Maduro today and brought him to the United States to face charges in a court of law. Below is an extract of the indictment.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT - SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA V. NICOLAS MADURO MOROS . . . . (click on the Not A Robot button)

For over 25 years, leaders of Venezuela have abused their positions of public trust and corrupted once-legitimate institutions to import tons of cocaine into the United States.

NICOLAS MADURO MOROS, the defendant, is at the forefront of that corruption and has partnered with his co-conspirators to use his illegally obtained authority and the institutions he corroded to transport thousands of tons of cocaine to the United States. Since his early days in Venezuelan government, MADURO MOROS has tarnished every public office he has held. As a member of Venezuela's National Assembly, MADURO MOROS moved loads of cocaine under the protection of Venezuelan law enforcement. As Venezuela's Minister of Foreign Affairs, MADURO MOROS provided Venezuelan diplomatic passports to drug traffickers and facilitated diplomatic cover for planes used by money launderers to repatriate drug proceeds from Mexico to Venezuela. As Venezuela's President and now-de facto ruler, MADURO MOROS allows cocaine-fueled corruption to flourish for his own benefit, for the benefit of members of his ruling regime, and for the benefit of his family members.

NICOLAS MADURO MOROS, the defendant, now sits atop a corrupt, illegitimate government that, for decades, has leveraged government power to protect and promote illegal activity, including drug trafficking. That drug trafficking has enriched and entrenched Venezuela's political and military elite, including Minister of the Interior, Justice and Peace DIOSDADO CABELLO RONDON, the defendant, and former Minister of the Interior and Justice RAMON RODRIGUEZ CHACIN, the defendant. That massive-scale drug trafficking has also concentrated power and wealth in the hands of MADURO MOROS's family, including his wife, the purported First Lady of Venezuela CILIA ADELA FLORES DE MADURO, the defendant, and MADURO MOROS's son, member of Venezuela's National Assembly NICOLAS ERNESTO MADURO GUERRA, a/k/a "Nicolasito," a/k/a "The Prince," the defendant. This cycle of narcotics-based corruption lines the pockets of Venezuelan officials and their families while also benefiting violent narco-terrorists who operate with impunity on Venezuelan soil and who help produce, protect, and transport tons of cocaine to the United States.

At various times since in or about 1999, Venezuelan officials, including NICOLAS MADURO MOROS, DIOSDADO CABELLO RONDON, and RAMON RODRIGUEZ CHACIN, the defendants, have partnered with narco-terrorists from the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia ("F ARC"), Ejercito de Liberaci6n Nacional ("ELN"), the Sinaloa Cartel, the Zetas, and Tren de Aragua ("TdA"), including TdA's leader, HECTOR RUSTHENFORD GUERRERO FLORES, a/k/a "Nifio Guerrero," the defendant. In sum, MADURO MOROS and his co-conspirators have, for decades, partnered with some of the most
violent and prolific drug traffickers and narco-terrorists in the world, and relied on corrupt officials throughout the region, to distribute tons of cocaine to the United States.

Submission + - The world's tallest chip defies the limits of computing: goodbye to Moore's Law? (elpais.com) 1

Submitted by dbialac
dbialac writes: Building chips up instead of smaller may be a solution to the problems encountered with modern semiconductors.

Xiaohang Li, a researcher at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia, and his team have designed a chip with 41 vertical layers of semiconductors and insulating materials, approximately ten times higher than any previously manufactured chip. The work, recently published in the journal Nature Electronics, not only represents a technical milestone but also opens the door to a new generation of flexible, efficient, and sustainable electronic devices. “Having six or more layers of transistors stacked vertically allows us to increase circuit density without making the devices smaller laterally,” Li explains. “With six layers, we can integrate 600% more logic functions in the same area than with a single layer, achieving higher performance and lower power consumption.”

Submission + - Cyberattack Takes Down Asahi - Japan's Largest Beer Brewer (theregister.com)

Submitted by cold fjord
cold fjord writes: A cyberattack has disrupted operations at the Asahi Group, the largest beer brewer in Japan. The attack is reported to have stopped operations at 30 plants in Japan, responsible for 50% of company profits. The time to restore service is currently not known. Operations at facilities outside of Japan are reportedly unaffected. In addition to well known Japanese brands Asahi Super Dry Beer, Nikka Whisky and Mitsuya Cider, the Asahi Group owns brands such as the UK's Fuller's brewery chain, Peroni, Grolsch, and others. The attack on Ashi follows attacks in April that cost Marks and Spencer an estimated $300 million, and an attack on the Co-operative Group which cost it an estimated $108 million.

There was a change in management and the former management wanted to build fabs and the current management wants to cut back.

Federal government paid Intel to build fabs. As they're not doing that, taking the money back is reasonable.

Intel is complaining about the money being taken in stock. Alternatively it could have been taken in cash which intel would have had to put as debt on its books. I think the stock is easier for them. US is also trying to build a sovereign wealth fund. 11 billion of intel stock is a reasonable addition to that.

USSR — and then Russia — were/are the supporters and often outright instigators of most of the world's terrorism and other evil.

All efforts should be aimed on defeating that first and foremost.

If the Ukrainians are on the tip of that spear today, they must not lack for weapons, supplies, nor other support.

You libertarian types

There is nothing — zero — in the Libertarian doctrine, that mentions anything anywhere near the strawman you attributed to me. Indeed, your verbiage is straight out of the most infamous (though not the most evil) Statist of all L-)

Live on a different planet. Go live where you are alone and die well there.

This is an interesting attitude — considering, that Libertarians don't at all mind other people organizing themselves into any kind of Collectives they genuinely want to. A Libertarian government wouldn't touch you — as long you don't coerce anyone to join you.

It is the other way around, that is impossible — Statists wouldn't leave the Libertarians be. So, if anyone ought to be exiled to a different planet, it is you — the oppressors — not us...
