Youngsters probably don’t remember Autonomy. I do.
No time to write too much about it, so look it up and then don’t believe everything you read. Like this …
Federal prosecutors on Monday painted one-time British tech star Mike Lynch as the ruthless mastermind of an $11 billion deal that defrauded Silicon Valley pioneer Hewlett Packard.
Prompted to post this now because I just listened to 🔗🎙️ Mike Lynch (Founder and CEO of Autonomy) and ‘Danny In The Valley’ talking. Mike was found innocent by the DoJ after TWELVE years and tens of millions defending himself against America’s ‘finest’.
While the Dems - ably supported by the media - wring their collective hands over the suitability of Biden as a President 🔗🎙️ Olberman (15 minutes) wonders why absolutely nobody .. anywhere … is asking the same question about the other guy?
I mean - nobody.
A lot of chatter in many places about the elections in the UK and the USA. A recurring refrain … “If the Brits can do it .. so can we.”
Just to remind my American friends that on pretty much anything that Britain does .. the US will likely do the opposite and always different .. even if they are the only ones on the world to do it … and absolutely having no regard for the consequences.
My recommendation? Keep focussed on what American voters need to do. You made your decision to break from the UK centuries ago, so who cares what we are doing?
Your choice later this year is one of two things.
- End your democracy and in turn empower the rest of the nut jobs around the world to do the same.
- Vote against that.
You the voter are in charge.
Still in doubt? I commend you to take a listen to Kara Swisher’s 🔗 🎙️ July 4th Special: Why Heather Cox Richardson Still Has Hope for American Democracy
You can listen to the whole thing 🔗 🎙️here, but if this 40 seconds doesn’t make you sit up - don’t bother.

Conan’s short promo had me laughing out loud 😂 as I wandered down to the ferry this morning.
🎈126/366 I know @dave is a fan of Andrew Hickey - me too. No time to listen to them all, but when you do - superb. Absolutely superb.
🔗🎙️ Sad to see this in my stream .. disgusted even. Got to say, I thought he was a better person than I could ever have been)
Meanwhile - let’s see what happens - and if it doesn’t, we really need to rally round and make sure it does.
