US ‘deletes evidence’ of #Russia’s kidnap of 35,000 Ukrainian children

“A #Yale University source said the US state department deleted the evidence which would have been used as part of rescue efforts to get the children home to #Ukraine.

It would also have been used to prosecute those behind their abductions – including Russian president Vladimir #Putin.”

2. Another attack on free speech, this time by Yale

"This is not about me. It's not about Mahmoud Khalil."

This is a "very much coordinated attack on free speech...

"& about how much the government is terrified of not being able to silence the voices that they've been trying to silence for so many years."

~Dr. Helyeh Doutaghi

Jewish Onliner accused Doutaghi of membership of a pro-Palestinian advocacy organization.

New paper from #Yale and the #FederalReserve blames the 2023 banking crisis on (you guessed it) #crypto and Nerd Reich #VCs.

> "A clearer commonality between the six banks [that failed], the paper argues, is their exposure to risky depositor bases that other banks shied away from: #crypto firms and [tech] venture capitalists."

"I still remember the transition to capitalism [post-USSR] even in so-called gentle places like Prague, where you just got in a cab, and they could just charge you any amount of money. There was no sense in there being any kind of limitation of any kind of commitment to rates that were posted. You just felt constantly vulnerable because there were no rules."

A #geometry masterpiece: #Yale prof solves part of math’s #RosettaStone.

Yale’s #SamRaskin has solved a major portion of a math question that could lead to a translation #theory for some areas of #math.

❛❛ The [Robert] #Langlands Conjectures … suggested in the 1960s that deep, unproven connections exist between #numbertheory, harmonic analysis & #geometry — 3 areas of math long considered distinctly separate. ❜❜

SUS: the Student UFO Society

"During my first two months at Yale, I’ve learned how to be an indulgent skeptic.

The Thursday before Family Weekend, I received an email advertising an 11-hour-long teach-in about UFOs, to which I responded with immediate incredulity. I wasn’t quite sure that “free exchange of ideas surrounding a challenging subject” could apply to government cover-ups of UFOs, a conspiracy theory seemingly on par with the flat Earth."

"Nothing is for certain, and so to make a leap into the unknown, to challenge centuries of knowledge and billions of people, should be seen not as ignorance but bravery."
