>Pras Michel has been found guilty of 10 criminal counts in a scheme to help China influence the US government

Fugees rapper Pras Michel was 'willing to break any laws necessary to get paid' in alleged international fraud scheme, prosecutor said
The conspiracy and fraud trial of American rapper Pras Michel kicked off on Thursday.
Prosecutors alleged that Michel was involved in an international scheme to influence the US government.
Michel is accused of working with Malaysian businessman and fugitive Jho Low.
Mr Michel stands accused of making illegal contributions to Mr Obama's 2012 US presidential campaign, using an illegal network of third parties paid with foreign funds.
Prosecutors claim Michel pocketed millions from helping Low run foreign-influence campaigns against the U.S. government during both the Obama and Trump administrations. As Rolling Stone outlined in a recent feature, Michel is accused of funneling money from Low to Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign, as well as lobbying Donald Trump’s administration to drop an investigation into Low and extradite dissident Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui.
Michel has always maintained his innocence, telling Rolling Stone, “What benefit would I get trying to break laws? It’s not worth it to me. I’m like a pariah now. I’ve got friends who won’t talk to me because they think there’s a satellite in orbit listening to them.”

To further help in the learning, and programming of the Atari 7800, the following original Source Code to many Atari 7800 video games have been provided below. These games were rescued from Atari ST format diskettes that were thrown out behind 1196 Borregas when Atari closed up in 1996. The Atari Museum rescued these important treasures and recovered them from the diskettes. Many of the compiling and coding tools as well as the Atari 7800 development tools are Atari ST programs, which can be run via emulation to be able to natively compile and test code.
Note: These wouldn't exist if I hadn't of climbed into a filthy dumpster at 3am in the morning behind the old Atari building in Sunnyvale and salvaged them and restored them from their diskettes.

Israel’s UN envoy walks out of Security Council to protest Memorial Day session
Gilad Erdan reads out names of fallen Israelis to council members, lights memorial candle in chamber, says UN rejected requests to move session to another day
Israel’s envoy to the United Nations walked out of the Security Council and read the names of Israelis killed in the past year to protest the body holding a session critical of Israel on Memorial Day.
The periodic Security Council session on “the Palestinian question” was held at UN headquarters in New York and was led by Russia.
“Today is one of the most sacred days of the year for the State of Israel,” Gilad Erdan said. “We made numerous requests to reschedule today’s debate, describing the deep importance of the day, yet tragically, this council refused to budge.
“Today’s debate has crossed all lines,” he continued. “While Israelis mourn, this council, as usual, will hear more blatant lies condemning the State of Israel and falsely painting it as the root of all the region’s problems.”
Directly addressing Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who was leading the session, Erdan asked, “What would you do if this council was convening to single out and condemn the Russian Federation and your soldiers on the 9th of May, on Victory Day over the Nazis?”
