BrianKrebs<p>Someone riddle me this: Why would Trump's Jan. 29 Executive Order on "Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism" be given the executive order number it has, which is 14188? Surely, even with the flood of EOs this POTUS has issued already, we're not up to that number. </p><p>So where did it come from? Check out the Wikipedia entry for "fourteen words," also abbreviated 14 or 1488), which says it is a reference to "two slogans originated by the American domestic terrorist David Eden Lane, one of nine founding members of the defunct white supremacist terrorist organization The Order, and are accompanied by Lane's "88 Precepts". The slogans have served as a rallying cry for militant white nationalists internationally."</p><p>"Lane used the 14-88 numerical coding extensively throughout his spiritual, political, religious, esoteric, and philosophical tracts and notably in his "88 Precepts" manifesto. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, inspiration for the Fourteen Words "are derived from a passage in Adolf Hitler's autobiographical book Mein Kampf."</p><p>"The Fourteen Words have been prominently used by neo-Nazis, white power skinheads and certain white nationalists and the alt-right. "88" is used by some as a shorthand for "Heil Hitler", 'H' being the 8th letter of the alphabet,[16] though Lane viewed Nazism along with America as being part of the "Zionist conspiracy."</p><p>[edit: several readers have rightly pointed out that this is likely just a coincidence, and that the EOs are cumulatively numbered already into the 14,000s. still, it's unfortunate]</p><p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen_Words" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourte</span><span class="invisible">en_Words</span></a></p>

BrianKrebs<p>I've been looking at the background of Branden Spikes, the senior member of DOGE who is director of IT over at X (his OG email is b@x.com).</p><p>Prior to joining up with Musk, Spikes ran a company called Spikes Browser, which tried to create a sandboxed browser environment. I met Branden in DC in 2013, and I actually used Spikes for a short while. </p><p>It seems that Branden used to be married to a woman named Natalia Haldeman (she went by Natalia Spikes then). Records published by ProPublica show that Ms. Haldeman is the CEO of a nonprofit called the California Russian Foundation.</p><p><a href="https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/452775704" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">projects.propublica.org/nonpro</span><span class="invisible">fits/organizations/452775704</span></a></p><p><a href="https://unicourt.com/case/ca-la2-branden-spikes-vs-natalia-haldeman-855382?init_S=c_relc#dockets" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">unicourt.com/case/ca-la2-brand</span><span class="invisible">en-spikes-vs-natalia-haldeman-855382?init_S=c_relc#dockets</span></a></p><p>When I search in the breach tracking service Constella Intelligence for spikes.com, I find tons of Yandex profiles for people in Russia who have spikes.com email addresses (all phonenumbers@spikes.com).</p><p>Going to keep poking at this.</p><p>edit: corrected name of the foundation.</p>
Eugen Rochko<p>What's to stop Musk, who's already tried meddling with German elections, from seizing Zelenskyy's, or any other European leader's X account, and posting something with dire geopolitical consequences? We're way past the point where it's wise for European leaders and institutions to rely on a presence on X—and other US platforms are not a good long-term solution either.

JA Westenberg<p>Here's what I got done this week. <br />- I shut down my marketing business because marketing tech doesn't align with my values<br />- I deleted my YouTube channel and canceled YouTube Premium and Google App Suite to stop being a part of the Google ecosystem<br />- I deleted my book, because it didn't adequately represent my worldview<br />- I wrote 5 columns in The Index and a bunch of posts on my blog<br />- I drank hella coffee</p>
