- Odin.EphemIn NOTABLES·March 10, 2025https://x.com/CodeMonkeyZ/status/1896236672549036384 https://x.com/CodeMonkeyZ/status/1896236672549036384 Full White Paper - https://odin.ephem.net/odin-ephem.pdf 8ch.net Elements of Odin.Ephem and Its Inevitable Consequences 1. Ephemeral Blockchain Architecture • Revolutionary Pruning System: Unlike traditional blockchains that permanently store all transactions, Odin.ephem discards historical data after achieving consensus finality. This drastically reduces storage requirements and eliminates the risk of long-term exposure of transactional data. • Rolling Proof-of-History (PoH): A cryptographic function ties each block’s state to its predecessor, maintaining a verifiable sequence of transactions without storing historical data. • Consequence: This redefines blockchain scalability by eliminating bloat and lowering entry barriers for node participation. It also renders forensic blockchain analysis nearly impossible, severely complicating law enforcement tracking and surveillance efforts. 2. Quantum-Resistant Privacy Measures • Quantum-Safe Cryptography: Odin.ephem rejects classical cryptographic primitives (like RSA, ECDSA) and replaces them with lattice-based encryption and ZK-STARK proofs, ensuring resilience against quantum computing attacks. • Consequence: Quantum supremacy will not break Odin.ephem, unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, which rely on elliptic curve cryptography. This forces blockchain technology into a post-quantum paradigm. 3. Ultimate Transaction Anonymity • Multi-Hop Onion Routing: Transactions are relayed through multiple intermediary nodes with layered encryption, ensuring that no single node knows both the sender and receiver. • Ring Signatures: Each transaction appears to be signed by a random set of users, making it impossible to determine the real sender. • Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK-STARKs): Transactions are verified without revealing any details (amount, sender, recipient). • Decoy Transactions: Artificial traffic is injected to confuse adversaries, making real transactions indistinguishable from noise. • Consequence: Odin.ephem shatters financial surveillance. Authorities and corporations lose the ability to track or trace financial activity, which could empower individuals while simultaneously providing a haven for illicit financial activities. 4. Censorship Resistance & Decentralization • Finality Pruning: Once a block reaches finality, it is pruned forever, leaving only cryptographic commitments. • No Centralized Archives: Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, where full nodes store the entire history, Odin.ephem forces decentralization by distributing responsibility across the network. • Consequence: Governments and corporations will struggle to enforce regulations. No entity will be able to subpoena or retrieve historical transaction data, leading to a collapse of compliance-based financial systems. 5. The Inevitable Impact • Regulatory Chaos: Lawmakers and regulatory agencies will be unable to impose financial surveillance, which will lead to intensified debates on privacy vs. security. • Criminal Exploitation: While it guarantees personal privacy, malicious actors will inevitably exploit this system for tax evasion, ransomware payments, and other illicit financial activities. • The Death of Blockchain Forensics: Companies that specialize in blockchain analytics (like Chainalysis) will become obsolete. • A New Financial Order: With unstoppable, untraceable, and censorship-resistant transactions, Odin.ephem could become the foundation of a global underground financial system, outside governmental control. Final Verdict Odin.ephem is not just another blockchain—it’s a digital ghost protocol engineered for absolute anonymity, erasing the past while remaining verifiable in the present. Its inevitable consequence is an ungovernable financial ecosystem, forcing authorities to either embrace radical change or escalate their crackdown on decentralized networks.1251

- Full Summary of Levin's Argument on Trump Tariffs and the ConstitutionIn NOTABLES·June 1, 2025Mark Levin challenges legal dispute around Trump tariffs 📌 Full Summary of Levin's Argument on Trump Tariffs and the Constitution 🔷 Opening Context (00:00–01:18) Mark Levin opens the show with a brief mention of his guests but quickly transitions into the core topic: a legal battle over the constitutionality of tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump. He frames the debate not as an economic issue, but as a constitutional question about the separation of powers. 🔷 Congressional Authority on Tariffs (01:18–03:17) Levin explains that under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, Congress holds exclusive power to “lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises,” and regulate commerce with foreign nations. He references a federal trade court decision ruling that Trump's use of emergency powers to impose tariffs was unconstitutional. The court’s reasoning was that tariff authority is non-delegable and must remain with Congress. 🔷 The Trade Court’s Ruling (03:17–05:24) The Court of International Trade, a body with life-appointed judges created by Congress, ruled 3–0 against Trump’s tariffs. It held that Trump’s actions exceeded the limits of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).The judges argued that Trump’s retaliatory tariffs lacked the "unusual and extraordinary threat" required by the IEEPA and were therefore beyond statutory and constitutional authority. The court used the Federalist Papers and the non-delegation doctrine to support its decision. 🔷 Emergency Powers and Their Use (05:24–06:35) Levin reviews the 1977 IEEPA statute, specifically 50 U.S. Code §1701–1702, which allows the president to act during a declared national emergency when a significant foreign threat exists. Trump used this authority to apply global tariffs in response to perceived economic threats. Levin admits the move might stretch the statute's intent but defends it as still within the legal framework passed by Congress. 🔷 Appellate Court Response (06:35–07:01) Shortly after the trade court’s ruling, an appellate court issued a temporary stay on the enforcement of the lower court’s decision. The cases were consolidated, and Trump’s tariffs remain in effect pending further review. 🔷 Levin's Core Argument: No Separation of Powers Dispute Exists (07:01–08:58) Levin states the entire dispute hinges on a supposed separation of powers conflict—whether Congress improperly delegated power to the executive. But he emphasizes a key fact: Congress is not a party to the lawsuit. Only private litigants brought the suit. Levin argues that if Congress felt its constitutional powers had been usurped, it could have intervened. Congress hasn’t passed any law challenging Trump's tariffs, hasn’t joined the suit, and hasn’t even voiced opposition in a unified manner. He calls the plaintiffs’ argument illegitimate because they are attempting to enforce congressional authority that Congress itself has declined to assert. 🔷 The Role and Limits of the Trade Court (08:58–13:27) Levin questions the legitimacy of the trade court’s involvement. He argues that: • The trade court was created by Congress and has no constitutional authority on its own. • Judicial review is not explicitly in the Constitution and was claimed through precedent (Marbury v. Madison, 1803). • Because Congress passed the 1977 law and hasn't challenged Trump’s use of it, the trade court has no basis to override the executive branch. He sees this as a case of judicial overreach, where a court acts unilaterally without a genuine constitutional dispute between the other two branches. 🔷 Historical Overreach and Judicial Supremacy (13:27–15:58) Levin critiques the doctrine of judicial supremacy, tracing it back to Chief Justice Marshall’s Marbury v. Madison. He asserts that this decision created a precedent for the courts to assume powers not explicitly granted in the Constitution. He warns that this case is part of a broader trend in which the judiciary overrides both elected branches, despite lacking electoral accountability or checks and balances. Levin contends that judicial power has grown beyond what the framers intended. 🔷 Final Constitutional Critique (15:58–18:06) Levin concludes that: • Whether one supports tariffs or not, the Constitution is clear that Congress holds tariff authority. • However, since Congress passed the IEEPA and hasn’t reined in the President’s use of it, the court should not substitute its interpretation over Congress’s inaction. • The problem isn’t the President or Congress—it’s the judges who have seized power to make constitutional judgments in areas where no conflict between the branches exists. 🔷 Closing Warning (18:06–18:31) Levin ends with a warning: tyranny can arise in any branch of government, including the judiciary. He calls for law schools, lawyers, and judges to return to a proper understanding of constitutional limits, particularly the original balance of power among the branches. He urges viewers to care more about constitutional structure than policy preferences like support or opposition to tariffs. ✅ Conclusion: Levin’s central thesis is that the trade court’s intervention violates constitutional limits because Congress hasn’t acted to defend its own powers. He sees the judiciary as overstepping its role and calls for a restoration of original constitutional governance, where only elected officials can check each other, and courts do not act on policy disagreements without standing from another branch.

- VP Vance speaks at Munich Security ConferenceIn NOTABLES·February 17, 2025VP Vance speaks at Munich Security Conference | LiveNOW from FOX Literally crying.mp4 The speech at the Munich Security Conference focuses on several key themes regarding the current state of democracy, security, and shared values between Europe and the United States: 1. Shared Values and Democratic Backsliding: • The speaker emphasizes the importance of shared democratic values, warning about the retreat from these values in Europe. Examples include the cancellation of elections in Romania, the suppression of free speech in Sweden, and the enforcement of laws against silent prayer in the UK. 2. Security Concerns: • While external threats like Russia and China are acknowledged, the primary concern is described as internal, specifically the erosion of democratic principles within Europe. The speaker criticizes actions that undermine democracy, like banning populist parties from conferences or censoring speech under the guise of combating misinformation. 3. Freedom of Expression and Democracy: • The narrative includes a critique of censorship, mentioning instances where governments have overstepped in controlling speech or punishing individuals for their beliefs or expressions, like the case of Adam Smith-Connor in the UK. There's a call for dialogue with all political factions, even those with differing or controversial views. 4. Immigration and Societal Impact: • Mass migration is highlighted as a significant issue, with the speaker noting its implications on security and societal cohesion, referencing a recent attack in Munich as an example of the consequences of unchecked immigration policies. 5. Leadership and Public Mandate: • The speaker advocates for leaders to listen to their citizens, suggesting that dismissing or ignoring public concerns can lead to the destruction of democracy. There's an emphasis on the need for leaders to secure democratic mandates through openness rather than suppression. 6. U.S.-Europe Relations: • The speech positions the U.S. under President Trump as supportive of free speech and against the censorship practices of the previous administration. It encourages Europe to step up in defense responsibilities while maintaining a strong democratic ethos. The speaker concludes with a call to uphold the principle that the voice of the people matters, suggesting that true security and progress come from engaging with and respecting the democratic process and its participants. GROK >Here’s a 200-word essay on the impact of digital media, written at an undergraduate level with three sources: Digital media has profoundly transformed society, influencing communication, information access, and cultural dynamics. Its impact is multifaceted, offering both opportunities and challenges. One significant effect is the democratization of information. Platforms like Twitter and YouTube allow individuals to share content globally, bypassing traditional gatekeepers such as newspapers or television networks (Jenkins, 2006). This has empowered marginalized voices but also contributed to the spread of misinformation, as unverified content can gain traction rapidly. Digital media has also reshaped social interactions. Social networking sites like Facebook and Instagram facilitate connectivity, enabling relationships across distances. However, studies suggest excessive use can lead to mental health issues, including anxiety and depression, due to social comparison and cyberbullying (Twenge, 2017). The constant connectivity can blur boundaries between personal and professional life, impacting well-being. Economically, digital media has revolutionized industries. Online advertising and e-commerce have created new revenue streams, while traditional media outlets struggle to adapt (Napoli, 2011). However, this shift has raised concerns about data privacy and the monopolistic power of tech giants. In conclusion, digital media's impact is profound, offering unprecedented access and connectivity while posing challenges to information integrity, mental health, and economic equity.

This essay balances the positive and negative impacts of digital media, supported by credible academic sources. Social media regulation Social media regulation has become a pivotal topic worldwide due to the significant impact platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, and others have on individuals, societies, and global politics. Here's an overview of the key aspects, challenges, and approaches to social media regulation: Key Aspects of Social Media Regulation: 1. Content Moderation: • Hate Speech, Misinformation, and Fake News: Regulating content to prevent the spread of harmful information, including hate speech, misinformation, and fake news, is crucial. The challenge lies in defining what constitutes such content without infringing on free speech. 2. Data Privacy and Protection: • Regulations like the GDPR in Europe aim to give users control over their personal data, compelling platforms to be transparent about data collection and usage practices. 3. Child Protection: • There are efforts to protect minors from inappropriate content, cyberbullying, and online predators, often involving age verification, parental controls, and content filters. 4. Advertising and Transparency: • Ensuring transparency in political and commercial advertising to combat foreign interference in elections and manipulation of public opinion. 5. Accountability and Platform Liability: • Laws like Section 230 in the U.S. protect platforms from being liable for user-generated content, sparking debates on whether this shield should be adjusted to make platforms more accountable for content. Challenges: • Balancing Free Speech and Regulation: One of the most significant challenges is ensuring that regulation does not overly restrict free speech or become a tool for censorship. • Global vs. Local Regulations: Social media operates globally, but regulatory approaches differ widely across countries, leading to compliance issues for multinational platforms. • Technological Limitations: The speed and scale at which content spreads often outpace the ability of platforms or regulators to moderate effectively. • Evolving Nature of Social Media: As platforms evolve, so do the methods of misuse, requiring adaptive regulatory frameworks. Approaches to Regulation: 1. Legislation: • GDPR (EU): Focuses on data protection and privacy. • Digital Services Act (EU): Aims at making the internet safer, with rules for content moderation and transparency. • Proposed Bills in the U.S.: Like the SAFE TECH Act, which seeks to amend Section 230 to increase platform accountability. 2. Self-Regulation: • Companies have developed their policies for content moderation, transparency reports, and community standards. However, self-regulation's effectiveness is often debated. 3. Co-regulation: • Combining government oversight with industry self-regulation, where platforms must adhere to certain standards but have some autonomy in how they achieve compliance. 4. International Cooperation: • Given the global nature of social media, there's a push for international standards or cooperation to address issues like cross-border misinformation. Future Directions: • AI and Algorithm Transparency: Increasing calls for transparency in how algorithms work, especially concerning content promotion and user targeting. • Interoperability: Discussions on whether users should have the right to move their social media presence between platforms, impacting data portability and competition. • Ethical Considerations: Integrating ethical AI use in content moderation to avoid biases and ensure fairness. The landscape of social media regulation is continuously evolving as new issues emerge, technology advances, and public opinion shifts. Effective regulation requires a nuanced approach that respects individual rights while safeguarding public interest, often necessitating a blend of legislative, corporate, and user-driven initiatives.018

- Gabbard at DNI Hearing: Dems Upset 'I Refuse to Be Their Puppet'In NOTABLES·January 31, 2025Anonymous 01/30/25 (Thu) 17:00:05 d56c75 (12) No.22470644 Here's Tulsi's opening statement video https://x.com/dotconnectinga/status/1884993300676940029 Gabbard at DNI Hearing: Dems Upset 'I Refuse to Be Their Puppet' https://www.newsmax.com/politics/dni-tulsi-gabbard-senate/2025/01/30/id/1197129/ (1/2) Tulsi Gabbard, President Donald Trump's pick to be director of national intelligence, faced sharp criticism from Democrats on Thursday during a fiery confirmation hearing focused on her past comments sympathetic to Russia, her meeting with Syria's now-deposed leader and her past support for government leaker Edward Snowden. Gabbard's opening statement went all-in on critics opposed to her nomination because she asks tough questions and does not always follow Washington dogma. "The fact is what truly unsettles my political opponents is that I refuse to be their puppet," she said. Gabbard started her hearing by telling lawmakers that big changes are needed to address years of failures of America's intelligence service. She said too often intelligence has been false or politicized, leading to wars, foreign policy failures and the misuse of espionage. And she said those lapses have continued as the U.S. faces renewed threats from Russia and China. "The bottom line is this must end. President Trump's reelection is a clear mandate from the American people to break this cycle of failure and the weaponization and politicization of the intelligence community," Gabbard told the Senate Intelligence Committee. Gabbard promised to be objective and noted her military service, saying she would bring the same sense of duty and responsibility to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which oversees and coordinates the work of 18 intelligence agencies. Gabbard, a former Democrat congresswoman from Hawaii, is a lieutenant colonel in the National Guard who deployed twice to the Middle East and ran for president in 2020. She has no formal intelligence experience, however, and has never run a government agency or department. It is Gabbard's comments, however, that have posed the biggest challenge to her confirmation. Gabbard has repeatedly echoed Russian propaganda used to justify the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine and criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a corrupt autocrat. She has been accused of spreading Russian disinformation by Republican lawmakers and has even won praise in Russian state-controlled media. Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., asked Gabbard on Thursday whether Russia would "get a pass" from her. "Senator I'm offended by the question," Gabbard responded. "Because my sole focus, commitment and responsibility is about our own nation, our own security and the interests of the American people." A 2017 visit with Syrian President Bashar Assad is another point of contention. Assad was recently deposed as his country's leader following a brutal civil war in which he was accused of using chemical weapons. Following her visit, Gabbard faced criticism that she was legitimizing a dictator and then more questions when she said she was skeptical that Assad had used chemical weapons. Anonymous 01/30/25 (Thu) 17:00:22 d56c75 (12) No.22470647 >>22470644 (2/2) "I just do not understand show you can blame NATO for (Russian President Vladimir) Putin's brutal invasion of Ukraine, and when Assad used chemical weapons against his own people, you didn't condemn him," said the committee's senior Democrat, Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia. Gabbard defended her meeting with Assad, saying she used the opportunity to press the Syrian leader on his human rights record. "I asked him tough questions about his own regime's actions," Gabbard said. In a back-and-forth that at times grew heated, lawmakers from both parties raised concerns about her past statements supportive of Snowden, a former National Security Agency contractor who fled to Russia after he was charged with revealing classified information about surveillance programs. Gabbard said, while Snowden revealed important facts about surveillance programs she believes are unconstitutional, he violated rules about protecting classified secrets. "Edward Snowden broke the law," she said. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., repeatedly pressed Gabbard on whether she believed Snowden is a traitor. "Yes or no, is Edward Snowden a traitor to the United States of America?" Gabbard responded directly. "As someone who has served in uniform in combat, I understand how critical our national security is," she said before Bennet cut her off, saying "Apparently, you don't." As a lawmaker, Gabbard sponsored legislation that would have repealed a key surveillance program known as Section 702, which allows authorities to collect the communications of suspected terrorists overseas. Gabbard argued then that the program could be violating the rights of Americans whose communications are swept up inadvertently, but national security officials say the program has saved lives. She now says she supports the program, noting new safeguards designed to protect Americans' privacy.Gabbard defended her change of opinion. While lawmakers from both parties have raised concerns about Gabbard's nomination, Republicans have increasingly come to support her. Given thin Republican margins in the Senate, she will need almost all GOP senators to vote yes in order to win confirmation. Sen. Tom Cotton, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, supports Gabbard's nomination and said at the start of Thursday's hearing that he hopes she can rein in an office that he said has grown too large and bureaucratic. Cotton, an Arkansas Republican, noted the Office of the Director of National Intelligence is now larger, in terms of staffing, than any of the agencies it was created to oversee. "Look at where conventional thinking has got us. Maybe Washington could use a little more unconventional thinking," Cotton said. "Ms. Gabbard, I submit that, if confirmed, the measure of your success will largely depend on whether you can return the ODNI to its original size, scope, and mission."025

- Remember this dayIn GLOBALS·January 20, 20224 year delta today A note from me - I didn't build this site to draw in the masses, nor desired to use it as a Facebook or social media alternative, but as a weapon that We The People could control and use to help drive the narrative in the right direction. I understood a shill free environment was going to be important for the general public to put the pieces together in their own time. The curious passer by may stick around for a while longer when they are not inundated with filth and vulgarity. The mission moves forward on /qr/ as always, but we show the world what we do and who real anons are. I encourage my readers to become anons themselves if they haven't yet, the battle continues though they loose ground daily. Even after the win is apparent to the masses, it must be defended and taught to the next generation of patriots. “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” - Raegan Freedom of speech is paramount to a free society, yet every where you turn there is censorship. Truth social is the apparent path forward for the masses, yet there is no reason we couldn't form an 'off-board' bakery with a small community of trusted note takers here. This would help equip other anons and better steer the narrative to the masses. Operating in a way that brings honor to what many of us regular citizens stood up to, and fought against day in and day out, this would make it even harder for them to attack us. Whether articles, comms, quality decodes, interesting posts, etc. I attempted to build the very Anon News that many of us joked about in the early days. Not scripted, not auto generated, but actually anon filtered narrative, suitable for the general public's consumption, while operating in plain site. Exposing and driving the truth together. The ask- I am looking for anon's assistance bringing the good over from the breads and notables. This will archive and organize the history being made in real time, it makes looking back digestible for those who stayed asleep and will facilitate the awakening of many. Those posts will help push the narrative in real time and hopefully strengthen the narrative signal. Post creation in the notable thread will be restricted a trusted few . We're not here to shill for established mouth pieces, we're here to ensure the signal isn't drowned out by the noise. We commend those who push truth and expose those who contribute to the evil. Other anon contributions and discussions will be allowed in replies but that will need to be moderated for decency standards. Each notable post takes me anywhere from 1 min to over an hour compiling some of the more complex ones. Reading and discernment is the most time consuming part of the job, but many of us are already doing that for our other social media accounts. If we do it together we will become more efficient. If we create an acceptable record, we help write history. Not everyone is comfortable in front of a camera or a good enough speaker to consistently produce a podcast. Nor are all anons genuine. I do consider myself to be a decent judge of character. After 4 years following Q and the news the way I have, I feel comfortable discerning the motives of an anon that would help here. I was admittedly hesitant opening a forum to the public in the early days as I became aware of the depths the opposition would go. I did not desire battling shills here while operating something in its proof of concept stage. I am comfortable in my ability to manage this site as a public resource and ensure the quality of information is upheld to a community accepted standard. Not everyone is capable of wading through the digital war zone to make sense of it all. This is a place for reasoned discussion and information redistribution. I am looking for quality anons who understand and know how discern and see through the disinformation and are comfortable accepting the responsibility. We seek to train as well as provide a place where anons can quickly focus on source information and evidence, see breaking news, then help drive that narrative quicker and more effectively to the public free of the shill element that you find on virtually every other platform. Having an anon controlled public face that is maintained, organized and stocked full of acceptable notables and red pills makes it harder for them to attack us. The Striessand effect here would be catastrophic for them. In the beginning, I was relatively new to web development, and forum moderation. I rarely used social media to post anything and had never 'blogged' or written outside the occasional college level paper. I am a blue collar disabled veteran who saw the Country I fought for, being destroyed from within, and I had no choice but to stand up to it. There is no going back to that previous life. We are creating a new world. Those of you who operate on the boards may know that the link here to qnotables is baked into every bread as a notable aggregator. I have known what I was attempting to accomplish here was important but I don't think that it was originally expected by the architects of "The Plan". I have attempted to establish trust in the community with my work here over the last three years. I originally desired to build community and support structure for anons to learn from each other and share quality information to become more effective in spreading the truth. I don't know the answer to everything, and I never sought to tell you the answer to everything. There are many theories out there that are better left to those that can navigate the chan environment and want to spend their time chasing those rabbits. I'm not attempting to dissuade anyone from researching what they desire but we aim to steer the ship in the right direction. There are many charlatans out there spouting nonsense to make our movement seem illogical. I wanted to provide easy to swallow red pills that anyone would feel comfortable taking as fast or as slowly as they could handle. All the while we still help push the correct narrative, showcase comms and decodes, and use logic to analyze the news. Up until this point I have done that here on my own. The 3 year anniversary of is this site was on the 15th of Janurary, I know some of you have fought this war from the trenches as I have, and many have been involved in this war since well before Q started posting. I have attempted to prove concept of this website with absolutely zero outside financial support, zero paid advertisement and thousands of hours reading, note taking, and the occasional bake on the boards. Despite my own assumed association with the operation, (based on the perpetual link in every bread for nearly 2 years) I have never been contacted by an governmental agency (that I know of) or any media source for comment, or complaint. I have taken that silence as generalized consent and assumed fear from the corrupt media of the exposure of their complicity. Put your mark on history with us by doing something as simple a showing people the truth and helping us grow our community here and at large. If your interested send email with link to your social media account to qnotables@protonmail.com I will be attempting to transition from the blog format to the Forum platform myself and putting the articles section to bed to begin encouraging more community engagement. We are researchers who deal in open-source information, reasoned argument, and dank memes. We do battle in the sphere of ideas and ideas only. We neither need nor condone the use of force in our work here.01020
