Ex-CIA Agent: Obama Bent Hiring Rules to Build Anti-Trump Deep State

By CCN: Former CIA analyst John Gentry published a scathing attack on the alleged anti-Trump deep state, claiming American intelligence institutions have been overrun by Democrats – many of whom were handpicked by Barack Obama. Gentry suggests that traditional safeguards to stop political weaponization of the intelligence community were bypassed by Obama during his first term.

Wright. Within hours, Kraken and Shapeshift followed suit. You’d have to travel far and wide to find anyone gullible enough to defend Craig Wright at this point, but there’s a case to be made that by delisting BSV on a whim, Binance has shown itself to be a much more dangerous and pernicious force in the crypto space than Bitcoin SV ever could have been.

John McAfee Promotes Steven Seagal-Endorsed Crypto Scam Coin

CCN reported deeply on a pyramid scheme involving cloud mining and a highly pumped-and-dumped cryptocurrency called B2G (“Bitcoiin2G”). It was one of the longest and deepest reports of this reporter’s life. We found that Steven Seagal promoted B2G, and the scheme was hurting enough people that the State of New Jersey officially banned the promotion of it. B2G’s first use case was as a way to avoid paying people out in Bitcoin, via the various DragonMining (and affiliated) cloud mining scams. McAfee Joins Steven Seagal in Promoting B2G As we reported, at the time of its initial usage, only two
