Larry Summers resigns from OpenAI board, Harvard launches probe after release of Epstein emails
www.nbcnews.com

... Larry Summers, the former treasury secretary and ex-president of Harvard University, announced Wednesday he would resign from the board of directors at OpenAI amid scrutiny on his connection to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein " ties that are now the subject of a new internal investigation at the Ivy League school.

"In line with my announcement to step away from my public commitments, I have also decided to resign from the board of OpenAI," Summers said in a statement Wednesday. "I am grateful for the opportunity to have served, excited about the potential of the company, and look forward to following their progress."

Summers, who was treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton and served as a top economic adviser to President Barack Obama, joined the board of OpenAI in November 2023.

OpenAI's board of directors said it respected Summers' decision to resign. "We appreciate his many contributions and the perspective he brought to the Board," the AI giant said in a statement.

Summers has been in the national spotlight following the House Oversight Committee's publication of more than 20,000 documents from Epstein's estate, including extensive email exchanges between Summers and Epstein. ...



More from the article ...

... The DoorDasher was a 23-year-old woman named Olivia Henderson, and she felt like the whole situation was some kind of creepy exploitation play. Was this guy purposely exposing himself to her? Was he even asleep? Should she have to endure the sight of random male genitalia just to make a few bucks?

She did not think so, and she decided to do something about it. Henderson filmed the man from outside the home, and she later posted the video on TikTok to shame him. Naturally, it went viral.

Henderson complained about a "sexual assault""by which she apparently meant having to see the nude man"so the Oswego police got involved on October 13. But Henderson was not thrilled with their work.

On October 14, she said in a video that "the police are doing nothing." DoorDash had also deactivated her account "two days after i reported my sexual assault. Hey guys, I just lost my job, and they won't tell me why!"

Henderson eventually started screaming at the camera in frustration. "I WAS WORKING! I WAS LITERALLY WORKING!" she yelled. And yet, in her view, she was the one being punished. ...

Meanwhile, the police were doing something"but not something that Henderson wanted.

The cops determined that the nude man in question "was incapacitated and unconscious on his couch due to alcohol consumption." Being drunk and naked inside your own home apparently does not qualify as sexual assault on a delivery driver, and the police department said in a press release yesterday that "the investigation by the Oswego Police Department determined that no sexual assault occurred."

As part of their investigation, the cops found that Henderson had filmed the man and "subsequently posted the video to social media, where it drew significant attention." This shifted their attention to Henderson's decision to film and upload the video without the man's consent.

The police eventually arrested Henderson, who is now charged with two felonies: "Unlawful Surveillance in the Second Degree" and "Dissemination of an Unlawful Surveillance Image in the First Degree." ...

"It's outrageous that Dummkopf Trumpf is nice to filthy murderers like Muhammad Bin Salman or Vladimir Putin! Simply outrageous!"


Not one peep, squeal, kvetch, or bit of 'outrage' from the same drudge.com contributors when ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu-- responsible for over 70,000 deaths in the Middle East-- received red carpet treatment three times from Dummkopf Trumpf at the White House in 2025 alone, let alone his visits to the US in 2024. Remarkable.

Ex-U.N. investigator 'shocked and angry' at Trump's defense of Saudi crown prince over Jamal Khashoggi murder
www.nbcnews.com

... A former United Nations investigator who wrote the authoritative report on the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi told NBC News on Wednesday that she was "shocked and angry" at President Donald Trump's dismissal of intelligence saying Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved the killing.

Agns Callamard, the secretary general of the watchdog Amnesty International, said there was "no doubt whatsoever" that the crown prince ordered Khashoggi's grisly bone-saw killing inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul in 2018. American intelligence said that the crown prince personally approved the operation to kill or kidnap the Washington Post columnist, something the de facto Saudi leader has denied despite apologizing for the murder by his officials.

As the Saudi leader visited the White House on Tuesday, Trump disavowed the findings by his own intelligence agencies, saying the crown prince "knew nothing about it, and we can leave it at that," even chiding the enquiring reporter for trying to "embarrass our guests by asking a question like that." ...

China to reimpose ban on Japanese seafood imports amid row over Taiwan, reports say

... The marine ban comes a day after Liu Jinsong, director-general of the Chinese Foreign Ministry's Asian Affairs Department, said he was "dissatisfied" with the results of a meeting with Masaaki Kanai, director-general of the Japanese Foreign Ministry's Asian and Oceanian Affairs Bureau. ...

Contributors on drudge.com expressed their "outrage" that Dummkopf Trumpf awarded Muhammad Bin Salman (AKA Muhammad Bun Salman) red carpet treatment and a 'royal' state dinner at the White House. Admirable. Via Smartphone MBS listened in on the death shrieks of Jamal Khashoggi while he was being dismembered alive. And it was MBS who created the man-made famine in Yemen which killed thousands of Shia Muslims (AKA the Houthis). This is what led them to ally with Iran and Lebanese Hezbollah, their fellow co-religionists who helped them survive starvation.

Some contributors expressed similar "outrage" that Dummkopf Trumpf threw out the red carpet for ICC-indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin on a USAF base in Alaska earlier this year. Admirable. Vladimir Putin is responsible for the deaths and misery of countless people in a destructive war of his own making.

These same contributors "outraged" by Dummkopf Trumpf's red carpet treatment of Muhammad Bin Salman and Vladimir Putin were not outraged that ICC-indicted war criminal Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu was afforded red carpet treatment at the White House three times this year. Netanyahu is responsible for over 70,000 deaths in the Middle East. Trumpf and Netanyahu planned on how to divvy up the Gaza Strip for real estate developers and maniacal religious Settlers in the White House for Jared Kushner and Tony Blair. And hardworking American taxpayer-funded dollars paid for the ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

"It's outrageous that Dummkopf Trumpf is nice to filthy murderers like Muhammad Bin Salman or Vladimir Putin! Simply outrageous!"



Matt Ford's essay " The American People Voted for Jeffrey Epstein: The emerging mosaic of elite scandal tells an unflattering story of how far we've allowed our republic to stray from its founding ideals" (newrepublic.com) has some serious thinking fueling it, especially with respect to the "elites" with whom Epstein associated and MAGA.

It would be tempting to dismiss the Epstein scandals as a purely elite phenomenon. But this is the society for which the American people have voted. The 2016 election could once be dismissed as a constitutional fluke since most Americans voted for Trump's opponent. The 2024 election is more definitional. This country had nearly a decade of experience with Trump in power"the corruption, the lies, the bigotry and misogyny and abuse and violence"and welcomed more of it.

At its core, Trumpism is a permission structure for evil. It is the abolition of ethical norms and the erasure of moral authority. It defies checks and balances, rejecting the notion that power can be abused or corrupted because it justifies itself. Trumpism is not really about immigration, or inflation, or trade, or draining the swamp, or building the wall"it is ultimately about the dark thrill of abusing those whom its adherents consider to be inferiors, either directly or by proxy.

This is why the second Trump administration is populated with such ghoulish figures.
