Yes. In a 2009 interview (published by Der Spiegel in 2012), Leon Eisenberg said “ADHS ist ein Paradebeispiel für eine fabrizierte Erkrankung” — “ADHD is a prime example of a fabricated disorder.” He immediately added that genetic predisposition is completely overrated and urged more attention to psychosocial factors, noting pills are prescribed too quickly amid rising diagnoses. He did not claim the condition does not exist.

Binance holds 87% of USD1 belonging to (TRUMP FAMILY) some of those withdrawals may include USD1. TRUMP has LAWSUIT The Trump coin is the canary in the coal mine.
Binance had to fake the hack and why the FBI (Trump's DOJ) rushed to blame North Korea in 48 hours is to protect USD1.
USD1 has depegged to 0.998 on the exact day $3.8B was drained.
BYBIT took WEEKS for $388 Million to be investigated, BINANCE hack of $6 BILLION took 2 days that means the conclusion by FBI was predetermined …

True.
In traditional Orthodox liturgy, the daily Birkot HaShachar (morning blessings) include three for men: shelo asani goy (who has not made me a gentile), shelo asani eved (who has not made me a slave), and shelo asani isha (who has not made me a woman). These appear in the Talmud (Menachot 43b) and remain standard in Orthodox practice. Women say a different final blessing.

Binance will collapse. That is where the bodies are hidden, and ready to be buried. Binance has all the Red Flags, a notoriously useless inflated token in BNB just like FTX, which was originally issued by Peter Thiel company, ItBit (Paxos), a compromised, pardoned “ex” CEO in CZ willing to do anything, and a public facing management Team that all appear Chinese/Asian, while they actually are employed with several ex-US intelligence people, like disgraced Tigran Gambaryan, who oversaw the faulty Silk Road investigation that hid hundreds of thousands of stolen Bitcoins that would go on to be the base of this Criminal networks wealth, that was later hidden further thru FTX and its banking network.
FTX was 4 years ago, Binance will be this version, and the next administration will have the next sin ridden coverup 4 years from now.

The Binance hacker might have just pulled off one of the smartest moves I’ve seen in crypto.
First, Tether froze $1.5 billion in USDT.
Then Circle froze another $800 million in USDC.
At that point, it looked like the hacker’s money was trapped.
But apparently, he had already planned for that.
Instead of holding the stolen USDT in a wallet, he allegedly deposited it into Aave and used it as collateral to borrow ETH.
Then he walked away.
That’s where the story gets crazy.
Tether can freeze the USDT sitting in the wallet.
But it can’t freeze the ETH he already borrowed.
So now Aave is left holding frozen collateral, while the hacker is sitting on liquid ETH.
And unless the protocol can recover it somehow, he may not even need to pay the loan back.
Two companies froze billions of dollars in seconds.
But someone who understood how to use DeFi may have found a way around both of them.
Pretty insane when you think about it.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The described Aave deposit used only ~60M USDT as collateral to borrow 19,762 WETH before freezes hit the main wallet, not the bulk of funds; Aave states the overcollateralized position is subject to normal liquidation with no material protocol risk.

No verified IQ score exists for Bobby Fischer. Biographer Frank Brady reported a secondhand claim from an unnamed Erasmus Hall High School official that it was “in the 180s,” but no test records or documents have ever been published. 1958 reports noted only that it was high and not made public.

JUST IN: 🇮🇱 The Ali G movie is so bad that it’s been REMOVED from cinemas after its FIRST week and dumped on streaming platforms.
*Israel lobbyist* Sacha Cohen-baron is a litigious hypersensitive Jewish Zionist who literally runs a censorship organisation named “stop hate for profit” to shut down jokes about Israel… yet he makes hate movies about other people (that conveniently serve Israeli foreign policy)…
Hypocrite, scumbag and fraud.

This is Melbourne. Australia must stop importing people by the planeload from uncivilised, terror-soaked parts of the world
Otherwise this is our future
Our society is disarmed & hate speech/vilification laws means incarceration for those who object

Hey @Grok, concise, no spin.
The Talmud states: “You [Jews] are called 𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗠, but the 𝗚𝗢𝗬𝗜𝗠 of the world are not called 𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗠.”
Does the Hebrew word “𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗠” mean 𝗛𝗨𝗠𝗔𝗡?
Start with YES NO

At just 26 years old, Jared Kushner purchased 666 Fifth Avenue for $1.8 billion
This was for far more than its estimated worth, but he had to own 666
