Open Socialist Democrat Ocasio-Cortez Calls for 60%-70% Tax Rate – Compares Herself to Lincoln and Roosevelt

In the last 24 hours since taking control of the House of Representatives, Democrats have:

** Introduced articles of impeachment

* Called for the impeachment of “mother fcker” Trump

** Scratched Israel off the map and replaced with Palestine

** Called for a 60%-70% tax rate

** Refused to fund a border security wall

** Worked one day and went on break until Tuesday

Open Democrat-Socialist Rep. Alexandria “Sandy” Ocasio-Cortez called for a 60%-70% tax rate on Friday.

That was quick.

Ocasio-Cortez: “But once you get to the tippie tops, on your $10 millionth, sometimes you see tax rates as high as 60% or 70%. That doesn’t mean all $10 million are taxed at an extremely high rate. But it means that as you climb up this ladder, you should be contributing more… I think radicals changed this country. Abraham Lincoln made the radical decision to sign the Emancipation Proclomation. Franklin Delano Roosevelt made the radical decision to establish programs like social security. ”

God help us.

Democrats Introduce Bill to Eliminate the Electoral College Because They Refuse to Face the Fact That Clinton Lost Because She’s Awful

Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen refuses to face that fact that Hillary Clinton lost in 2016 because she is awful and has now introduced a bill to eliminate the electoral college all together — instead of figuring out how his party could do better next time.

Cohen also introduced a bill that will prevent presidents from pardoning themselves or their family members.

Bill Clinton famously pardoned his brother, Roger Clinton, for drug charges before he left the White House. His brother was charged with drunk driving and disorderly conduct less than a year after the pardon.

“In two presidential elections since 2000, including the most recent one in which Hillary Clinton won 2.8 million more votes than her opponent, the winner of the popular vote did not win the election because of the distorting effect of the outdated Electoral College. Americans expect and deserve the winner of the popular vote to win office. More than a century ago, we amended our Constitution to provide for the direct election of U.S. Senators. It is past time to directly elect our President and Vice President,” Cohen wrote in a statement.

Without the electoral college, elections will be decided primarily by large coastal cities — denying voters in flyover country a voice.

Cohen wasn’t the only vengeful representative not wasting any time before making petulant attention grabbing moves on the first day.

Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) also introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump on the first day of the 116th Congress, “filing them as his first order of business in the new, Democrat-controlled House of Representatives.”

Hackers Release Personal Data On Hundreds Of German Politicians

The personal data of hundreds of German politicians including Chancellor Angela Merkel have been released in the largest data dump of its kind in the country, according to the Bloomberg.

The leaked information includes personal chat transcripts, mobile phone numbers, email addresses and photo IDs, according to a review of the records. The records have been released over the past several weeks beginning right before Christmas via a Twitter account named "G0d," which has been around since mid-2017 and identifies as a Hamburg-based "artist" involved in "security researching" and "satire & irony."

Notably, Germany's right-wing party, AfD, was unaffected by the hack.

It looks like the hackers got the passwords to Facebook accounts and Twitter profiles and worked their way up from there, said Simon Hegelich, a political scientist at Munich’s Technical University who has studied the manipulation of social networks.

“It’s a very elaborately done social engineering attack,” he said Friday by phone. “It’s a lot of data that’s been dumped.”

The German government is taking the attack “very seriously,” spokeswoman Martina Fietz said a briefing with reporters on Friday. -Bloomberg

"I can confirm that there has been an incident," said a Linke party spokesman, whose members were among those targeted. That said, no politically sensitive documents have been released as part of the breach, and some of the information appeared to be several years old.

Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security, known as BSI, is heading the investigation into the data dump at its cyber defense center. So far the agency has no indication that government networks have been affected, the BSI said on Twitter. Germany’s domestic intelligence agency BfV is reviewing the data and can’t yet comment because of the volume, a spokeswoman said. -Bloomberg

"The perpetrators want to erode trust in our democracy and in our institutions," said German Justice Minister Katarina Barley to news agency DPA. "Criminals and their backers must not be allowed to dictate debate in our nation."

It is unknown if the hack is connected to a 2015 incident in which the Bundestag parliament network was breached and 16 gigabytes of data was stolen. According to security firm Trend Micro, the Bundestag attack and others have been linked to the hacking group Pawn Storm.

"This hack is different from breaching the Bundestag networks – which required a much higher level of sophistication," said Munich Technical University political scientist Simon Heglich. "But they’re no kids either. It’s people that know about IT security."

"9/11 Papers" MegaLeak - Layer 1 + Checkpoint 03, 04, 05, 06, & 07: Cyber-Cash For Cyber-Cache

Hacker group releases '9/11 Papers', says future leaks will 'burn down' US deep state

The Dark Overlord hacker group has released decryption keys for 650 documents it says are related to 9/11. Unless a ransom is paid, it threatened with more leaks that will have devastating consequences for the US ‘deep state’.

The document dump is just a fraction of the 18,000 secret documents related to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks believed to have been stolen from insurers, law firms, and government agencies.

The Dark Overlord initially threatened to release the 10GB of data unless the hacked firms paid an unspecified bitcoin ransom. However, on Wednesday, the group announced a "tiered compensation plan" in which the public could make bitcoin payments to unlock the troves of documents.

A day later, the Dark Overlord said that it had received more than $12,000 in bitcoin – enough to unlock "layer 1" and several "checkpoints," comprised of 650 documents in total.

There are four more layers that remain encrypted and, according to the group, "each layer contains more secrets, more damaging materials… and generally just more truth."

The hackers are asking for $2 million in bitcoin for the public release of its "megaleak," which it has dubbed "the 9/11 Papers."

The group has also offered to sell the documents to terrorist groups, foreign governments, and media outlets. When RT approached the hackers for comment, they proposed providing the channel exclusive access to the potentially explosive papers – for a price, of course.

“They were willing to sell those documents to me. So it’s all about money for them,” RT America correspondent Michelle Greenstein said.

By design, the "layer 1" documents – if authentic – do not appear to contain any explosive revelations. The publications focus mostly on testimonies from airport security and details concerning insurance pay-outs to parties affected by the 9/11 attacks. However, the data dump suggests that the group is not bluffing.
