The legal part of the question is likely to depend on Jurisdiction. My comments are from a NZ view, though most good law tends to be similar internationally, it's not always so. As far as I can see it's owned by a bunch of money people out of Washington ¹ The recording itself may be legal if the participants were informed of it happening. If not informed, unlikely to be so. Subsequent recordings also. Another meeting today where it was raised. Small red light top left corner if you hover your cursor over displays a note the meeting is being recorded. Hardly notification The install as an action, may be legal if the owner of the system (i.e. company's server) is informed and gives consent. Should this be a distributed install (everyone's laptop/iPhone/iPad) then it's a can of worms. That's exactly what has happened however there was a invite without any disclosure that appeared on the invite to the meeting. Further, distributing the video and transcript, over email or other method, may be of issue, depending on who/what/why, i.e is it a private company, government department, university, military. Currently on a University project. Aaaand, the person who has done this, what devices/networks are they on/exposed to with copies of said video and transcript? That part I am not tech savvy enough to know or begin to understand. Note! I am no lawyer, this my opinion on these things, having dealt with I.P. in a previous incarnation. My concern is that because it is Ai generated, the opportunity to manipulate is limitless. Image a civil hearing over a contract dispute. Evidence or meeting statements could easily be manipulated or fabricated.

I really enjoy performance art with a meaningful message. What is the Aussie background. All I know is she grew up in Bangkok. Interested to learn more.

But at least y'all be getting a tax cut with dem tariffs

So basically....Republicans have managed to make time stand still 😳 House Republicans on Tuesday approved a provision that would prevent Democrats from forcing votes for the remainder of the year on repealing recent tariffs implemented by President Trump. It essentially means that any legislation to undo the national emergency declaration Trump used to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China would have to go through a process subject to approval by House GOP leadership, rather than under a fast-track process that Democrats were hoping to utilize. Democrats are fuming at the legislation, with Reps. Don Beyer (D-Va.) and Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) — members of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade — issuing a joint statement slamming it. “Every House Republican who votes for this measure is voting to give Trump expanded powers to raise taxes on American households through tariffs with full knowledge of how he is using those powers, and every Republican will own the economic consequences of that vote,” Beyer and DelBene said in the statement. “It speaks volumes that Republicans are sneaking this provision into a procedural measure hidden from the American people.” Republicans, though, argue Democrats are misrepresenting the move. “We limited a procedural tool between now and the end of December to say that if we want to address that issue, we bring it forward under a rule,” said Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), who sits on the House Rules Committee. “That’s all we did. All we said was that we’re not going to let them go play games, which they clearly want to do to undermine the fact that the president is addressing a national emergency. That’s it.” A House GOP leadership aide added: “This provision simply prevents the Democrats from limiting the President’s authority.” One source said that conservatives sought to pause the expedited authority for just six months while GOP leadership wanted to pause it through 2026, and the end-of-year date was a compromise. Republicans quietly added the language regarding the expedited process to repeal a national emergency to a “rule,” a procedural resolution that also set the parameters for debate on a spending patch, which was approved by the House on Tuesday afternoon. It reads: “Each day for the remainder of the first session of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act with respect to a joint resolution terminating a national emergency declared by the President on February 1, 2025.” The gambit removes the ability for any House members to use an expedited process to force a vote on repealing the tariffs. Trump utilized the International Emergency Economic Powers Act in order to implement the tariffs. The National Emergencies Act outlines an expedited process for congressional action on repealing a national emergency if it is not acted on in 15 days. Democrats already had legislation teed up: House Foreign Affairs Committee ranking member Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) introduced such resolutions on March 6, starting that 15-day clock. But the new language approved by the House essentially pauses that clock, saying that days from now until the end of the year do not count. House Rules Committee ranking member Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) said that Democrats found out about the provision Monday night, and led an amendment to strike the provision in the Rules Committee. That failed on a party-line vote. “Why are they sneaking this unrelated provision into this rule? I’ll tell you: they’re scared to vote on it. They want no floor vote, no Republicans on the record, and no way to stop these devastating price hikes,” McGovern said in the Rules Committee Monday night. Democrats, however, have previously used the exact same tactic when they were in the majority to block Republicans from forcing votes to repeal national emergency declarations. One rule approved in 2021, using very similar language that Republicans used in the resolution approved Tuesday, paused the expedited process on repealing a national emergency for 18 months until the end of the 117th Congress. That prevented Republicans from forcing consideration of a resolution from Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) to end the COVID-19 national emergency.

So someone in a stakeholders meeting used it recently which means it is now recording everything without anyone's permission. Today the person who installed it didn't even join the meeting yet it recorded it all and sent me an email with a copy of the video and transcript. This cannot be legal. Thoughts

Prime have just announced The Apprentice Season 1-7 to be released 🙄 Thanks Jeff

No idea but there is a video accredited to them which is AI generated showing Trump, Musk and Putin in some very unflattering ways. Was on some independent media's channel.

Anonymous has released a video pertaining to Donald Trump https://youtu.be/c0vjN415_kM?si=N9jVEFTFSQL_5xwH

Aussies use whatever they want. I actually think it's how the board auto spells. Favorite or Favourite It auto corrects based on Merican spelling I guess. Doesn't seem to work though for MPIH 😃

I remember when Morgan Tsvangirai was plotting the assassination of Robert Mugabe with five men in Montreal from the CIA and British Intelligence. All secretly recorded buy someone I discussed earlier with OH. There are some very dangerous characters out there playing with the political landscape. The modern one runs giant corporations these days.

Last time I visited I enjoyed sitting outside in the bar in the middle of the plaza. Still called in to one particular bar to catch up with the owner but nothing really draws me in anymore. I spent more time in a bar on Suk near Soi 9 watching the world go by.

Or this one....."Do you like the F-35? I said how does it do it in fights, and how do they do in fights with the F-35. He says we do very well, you can’t see it. Literally you can’t see. It’s hard to fight a plane you can’t see, right? But that’s an expensive plane you can’t see. They're invisible.”

Or like in his speech praising the troops for defending the airports during the revolutionary war against Britain in the late 18th Century

Exactly but Trump is such a moron and blatant liar he wouldn't have a clue or care about the exact terminology which is the transfer of genes from one organism to another.

I'd like to see Jasmine Crockett getting up front and personal with a few of them. Her “bleach blonde bad built butch body” remark hurled at Marjorie Taylor Greene was priceless

I went to Jay's a couple of times for the Sunday arvo gathering. Good memories. Nights out with MPIH were always fun. The guy on the right isn't familiar. Looks Dutch 55555

It still amazes me how he is still supported. The guy is a complete deluded moron. Donald Trump claimed in his Congress address that the government spent $8 million "making mice transgender," prompting laughter and controversy. His statement echoed a Republican-backed initiative targeting alleged wasteful research. However, fact-checkers found that the cited studies examined hormone effects on diseases rather than gender transitions in mice. The White House later reworded its statement but stood by the claim. The debate underscores tensions between political messaging and the realities of scientific funding.

So true. In the current project I am on a few images with some color and notes is received far more favorably than a 30-40 page written submission. And I currently working within a university.

Manager at Cactus was a PIG Met Suadam there once. Never set foot in the place again.

Wonder if it was the one in Damascus. Yim Siam another one who disappeared.

China has warned the US it is ready to fight “any type” of war as it retaliates against Donald Trump’s mounting trade tariffs – while raising spending on its military. The trade war between the two superpowers escalated on Tuesday as Mr Trump hiked his levies on Chinese goods to a total of 20 per cent, and China retaliated by imposing 15 per cent tariffs on American agricultural goods. The Chinese embassy in Washington, in a post on X, said: “If war is what the US wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end.”

I used to really enjoy reading NG. Shame it's only digital now. Well as far as i know it is. Like the Null message ✌️

Really!!!! Nobody pointing at it in the photo 😳
