De zeci de ani, au existat rapoarte de vizitatori și personal de la casa lui George Washington despre activitate supranaturală. Mai jos sunt o serie de povești cu fantome din Mount Vernon pe care personalul le-a înregistrat de-a lungul anilor.
Fantoma din Washington bântuie Mount Vernon
În primii ani ai Asociației Doamnelor din Mount Vernon, când doamnele erau la Mount Vernon, dormeau în Conac.
Următoarea relatare a fost raportată în ziarul New York World ca. 1890.
"Desigur, cel mai interesant dintre toate dormitoarele este cel aparținând nemuritorului George și în care acesta a murit. În el se află patul original cu baldachin în care Washington și-a petrecut ultimele clipe."

MOSINEE, Wisconsin — Fostul președinte Donald Trump, care face adesea afirmații false că alegerile prezidențiale din 2020 au fost furate din cauza fraudei desfășurate, a avertizat sâmbătă că va încerca să închidă pe oricine se implică într-un „comportament fără scrupule” în cursa din acest an.
El a emis amenințarea pe Truth Social, site-ul său de socializare, și și-a repetat afirmațiile false conform cărora alegerile din 2020 au fost furate, acuzându-i pe democrați de „înșelătorie și skulluggery dezlănțuit”.
„Alegerile din 2024, în care voturile tocmai au început să fie exprimate, vor fi sub cel mai atent control profesional și, CÂND CÂȘTIG, acei oameni care AU PELAT vor fi urmăriți penal în cea mai mare măsură a Legii, care va include pedepse cu închisoare pe termen lung, astfel încât această depravare a justiției nu se mai întâmplă”, a scris el.

WASHINGTON — Kamala Harris caută să neutralizeze o vulnerabilitate flagrantă care i-a pus în pericol perspectivele de când l-a înlocuit pe Joe Biden ca candidat la președinția democrată: frustrarea alegătorilor cu prețurile mari.
Harris vorbește despre economie în speranța de a câștiga alegătorii care continuă să simtă dureri economice sâcâitoare. Poate fi cea mai deliberată și clară pauză pe care a avut-o cu Biden de când a preluat biletul.
Biden și-a petrecut anul trecut promovând „Bidenomics” și insistând că alegătorii vor veni și îi vor da credit pentru o mulțime de victorii legislative, fără a-l învinovăți în cele din urmă pentru costul ridicat al alimentelor și al altor produse de necesitate.

Un judecător federal săptămâna aceasta a sprijinit moțiunea de judecată sumară a pieței de predicții a lui Kalshi în lupta sa juridică cu Comisia de tranzacționare pe termen lung a mărfurilor din SUA (CFTC). Această decizie deschide ușa cetățenilor americani să parieze pe viitoarele alegeri din noiembrie. Cu toate acestea, decizia nu este încă ultimul cuvânt, deoarece CFTC poate face apel. În urma ordinului judecătorului, autoritatea de reglementare a mărfurilor a depus imediat o cerere de urgență pentru o ședere de două săptămâni.

Victoria legală a lui Kalshi ar putea schimba peisajul pariurilor electorale din SUA, CFTC depune o moțiune de urgență

Russia’s embassy in France has demanded consular access to the 39-year-old Franco-Russian billionaire.
Founder and CEO of Telegram, Pavel Durov
Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of the Telegram messaging app, has been arrested at Bourget airport outside Paris for alleged offences related to his messaging app.
Local sources said on Sunday that Durov, 39, had been travelling on his private jet from Azerbaijan and that a French arrest warrant targeted him as part of a preliminary investigation.
The offences levelled at Durov by France’s OFMIN, an agency that deals with the prevention of violence against minors, include fraud, drug trafficking, cyberbullying, and organised crime, according to the AFP news agency, which quoted officials speaking on condition of anonymity.
The Franco-Russian billionaire is also accused of failing to take action against the harmful use of Telegram.
Durov faces possible indictment on Sunday, according to French media.
TF1 TV and BFM TV, both quoting unidentified sources, said the investigation was focused on a lack of moderators and that police considered that this situation allowed criminal activity to go on undeterred on the messaging app.
One of the investigators told AFP they were surprised Durov entered France despite the warrant against him, adding “enough of Telegram’s impunity”.
Meanwhile, the Russian embassy in France has demanded consular access to Durov and demanded that his rights be ensured, Russian state news agency TASS reported on Sunday.
The embassy said France has so far “avoided engagement” on the situation with Durov. Russian diplomats are in contact with Durov’s lawyer, the embassy said.
Russia-Ukraine war
With its desirable encryption features, Telegram, whose user base is close to one billion, was created by Durov and his brother in 2013 in Russia.
He fled the country in 2014 and travelled across the globe to search for a home for his company, including the German capital, Berlin, and San Francisco in the United States.
But after Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Telegram became the main source of unfiltered and sometimes graphic content from both warring parties.
The app is heavily used by Russian and Ukrainian officials, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
However, due to Telegram’s increasing popularity, several countries in Europe, including France, have scrutinised the app due to security and data breach concerns.
Russia’s representative to international organisations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, accused France of acting as a “totalitarian” society.
“Some naive persons still don’t understand that if they play more or less visible role in international information space it is not safe for them to visit countries which move towards much more totalitarian societies,” Ulyanov wrote on X.
Several Russian bloggers have called for protests outside French embassies worldwide.
Tech mogul and billionaire Elon Musk also criticised Durov’s arrest, saying, “It’s 2030 in Europe, and you’re being executed for liking a meme.”
Telegram did not immediately respond and the French Ministry of the Interior and police had no comment, the Reuters news agency said.

25 August 2024

New week, new crypto horoscope dedicated to the upcoming week from August 26 to September 1. 
This week will be characterized by two transits: 
Mercury goes direct again;Venus enters Libra from Thursday 29/8.
For several months now, we have been dedicating space to the crypto horoscope written by Stefania Stimolo, an expert in astrology and blockchain. It is a weekly column with the horoscope of each zodiac sign available every Sunday only on The Cryptonomist.
In our slogan of “Raccontiamo il Futuro”, we wanted to delve deeper into the topic, jokingly speaking, with this entertainment column. 
Summary
The crypto horoscope“Don’t Trust, Verify”
The crypto horoscope
We call it crypto horoscope for the simple fact that sector terminology is used. 
Words like NFT, metaverse, and Over-The-Counter to describe actions and scenarios, but also trading terminology like bullish, bull run, bear market, or dump to identify the mood of each zodiac sign during the days of the week.
Obviously, the famous to-the-moon to indicate the mood of that sign cannot be missing! 
In general, you might experience a period of “hard-fork”, understood as an “inner split”, or pass your lightning torch to the next zodiac sign, meaning that the Sun is moving to the next sign. 
Or, simply, you need to reflect on some situations that go into “verify,” that is, when the planet is in dissonance with respect to the zodiac sign. Not only that, with each new change of the Sun’s guard through the constellations of the zodiac, the roadmap of each sign will reach a new step. 
Obviously, no investment advice is given; on the contrary, it is purely entertainment, just like any other horoscope. It must be said that many beginners in the sector have understood the specific crypto terminology also thanks to the horoscope on The Cryptonomist. 
“Don’t Trust, Verify”
Astrology is not an exact science, but it aims in its own way to predict the future. So why not associate the typical blockchain phrase “Don’t Trust, Verify” here as well. 
In fact, what the author wants to propose is her interpretation of the planetary transits that occur during the week, describing the reaction of each zodiac sign, following the “logic” of traditional astrology. 
For those who are astrology enthusiasts, they could stay updated even just with the transits that are communicated weekly, which, in some way, influence us. A Retrograde Mercury, rather than the days of Full Moon. 
Others, on the other hand, might access the dedicated page, which is updated every Sunday, and read the horoscope of their zodiac sign, their ascendant, or why not, even the horoscope of friends and loved ones. 
And so, for entertainment purposes only, don’t waste time and click here to read your horoscope for this week!
