    This is a painful story for the families of three Navy SEALs. Two of the SEALs were lost at sea and a third was critically injured on a mission on January 11 in the Gulf of Aden between Yemen and Somalia. It was a mission that never should have been ordered, and when everything went wrong, it was covered up with a series of lies.

    Why report a story about two deaths and an injury when there is a president who has put America indirectly into wars in Ukraine, Israel, Yemen, and elsewhere in the Middle East? I have learned in six decades of chasing down hidden stories that it is delving into the little lies that reveals much about the bigger lies. So it has been in the past month with the story of the dead and injured SEALs.

    Middle East Dashing to WWIII! Kremlin Condemns Illegal US, UK Strikes on Houthis in Yemen. Germany to Join Mission

    Their target was a wooden smuggling vessel, operated by Somalis, that was suspected of delivering modern ballistic missiles or missile parts to America’s new enemy: the Houthis of Yemen. Somalis have been smuggling goods through the Red Sea and Indian Ocean in their wooden sailing vessels, known as dhows, since biblical times. Few have motors or any means of electronic communication, and the larger dhows, like the one targeted by the SEALs, often serve as living quarters for the smugglers’ families. (dhow is a a sailing boat with a long, thin hull – ed).

    The SEALs were assigned to a ship named the Lewis B. Puller, after a fabled combat general, the most decorated marine of all time, who fought in World War II against the Japanese, as well as in Haiti, in Central America, and in the Korean War. The ship, modeled on an oil tanker, is what the Navy calls an Expeditionary Mobile Base, which means that it is capable, with its landing decks, of supporting a vast number of air and sea military activities from all the services, including those of the Navy SEALs. The Puller was commissioned in 2017 in a port in Bahrain and was not much in the news until it became known that the failed SEAL mission took place.

    On January 13, the New York Times, citing two current and two former Pentagon officials, published the first account of the two deaths, which were said to have taken place while the SEALs were attempting to board a dhow at night.

    The Quoting of a Former SEAL Senior Chief

    The sea was rough, and one SEAL slipped off the boarding ladder. The initial report claimed that a second SEAL jumped into the water in an effort to save his colleague and both drowned. It was not clear whether he was also on the ladder or jumped from the inflatable speedboat known as a RHIB, for rigid hulled inflatable boat, that the SEALs used to approach the ship. A January 22 Times article about the incident, by Dave Philipps, known for his excellent sources in the special operations community, revealed that a third SEAL attempted to climb the ladder to board the dhow. He fell during the attempted boarding and struck the speedboat. He was rescued and today remains in critical condition.

    Philipps quoted a former SEAL senior chief explaining that he and his retired colleagues were convinced the story, as told by administration officials, “doesn’t make sense. Something else must have gone wrong.”

    There were questions at the time about President’s Biden decision in early January to expand the American war portfolio. He has taken on the Houthis, who had survived a seven-year war with the Saudi air force, supported by American bombs and targeting intelligence. That war ended with what amounted to a Saudi surrender. The American attacks, still being supported by British air power, are in their second month, and the world’s major shipping companies are still choosing not to chance a ten-day shortcut by sailing from Europe via the Suez Canal into the Red Sea. The Houthi threat is still there, pending an Israeli decision to cease its onslaught in the Gaza Strip. Ironically, or tragically, Biden is now said to be telling the Israelis that a ceasefire is needed. The world is coming to its own judgment about Biden, who is now seeking a second term.

    The Somali dhow offered the White House a chance to justify its new offensive. It had been tracked by American intelligence since leaving Somalia because it was believed to be carrying ballistic missile parts needed by the Houthis in their ongoing campaign against Western shipping; The basis for that intelligence, which proved to be wrong, has not been made known.

    Worse than Ukraine! In Yemen “Catastrophic” Hunger due to Saudi War: 400,000 Toddlers at “Risk of Death”

    Back to the Lewis B. Puller. The more than a dozen senior officers from all services assigned to the ship’s command center were gung-ho to send the hot-shot SEAL team to intercept the dhow, compel the boat to stand to, and board it to find ballistic missiles or parts of weapons that were coming to the Houthis from Iran, known to American intelligence as a longtime supporter and supplier of weaponry to Yemen. But there was a serious problem. The issue is what is known in the Navy as the Sea State Code, which is based on terminology used in oceanography to describe the general conditions of the ocean’s surface, as determined by three key factors: wind, waves, and swell.

    The Serious Problem of Sea State

    There are ten categories of sea state, and SEALs can operate with ease and safety up to sea state 3. One experienced retired senior American Navy officer told me that even four- and five-foot waves can sometimes create difficulties for a Navy tanker attempting to refuel an aircraft carrier, but it can be done with skilled maneuvering. No ship loaded with high-octane fighter fuel wants to crash into the side of a carrier.

    When the seas get higher, to level 4 or 5, the waves and stronger current make boarding a targeted vessel, even a wooden dhow, an extremely dangerous prospect, in part because of the difficulty in handling steel ladders, known as caving ladders, that are standard SEAL boarding gear. The steps are lightweight aluminum tubes linked by equally lightweight steel cables.

    US judge rules in favor of Navy SEALs Refusing Vaccination on Religious Grounds

    What is hard to do at sea state 3 is deadly dangerous at sea state 4 or 5, a retired Navy officer, with years of experience in special operations, told me. “The waves are going up and down eight feet and more and you do not board a ship in heavy sea,” he said. He added that Navy captains of combat ships finishing a long deployment understand that crews due for shore leave are not permitted to leave the ship in such churning waters.

    The retired officer said that when the officer on the Puller who was in charge of all special operation missions, an Army colonel, told “the SEAL team leader to ‘saddle up,’ the team leader told him to look outside the window.” His message was that “it was dark, and the sea was too rough. And it was beyond the capabilities of his team.” The retired officer added: “It was an argument between the on the scene commander and a guy in charge of the SEALs.”

    The SEAL team leader said no. But he was ordered to carry out the mission, despite the obvious weather issues, and he did so.

    The Mystery on a Ballistic Missile

    The questions that were not asked, the retired officer said, were these: “Do we know if the dhow is carrying a ballistic missile or a box full of missile parts?” No. “Can you get a key to a launch site?” No. “Or a map of all the Houthi launch sites?” No. “Do Somali smugglers know the difference between a case of Johnny Walker Red and one of Johnny Walter Black?” Yes.

    CIA-GATE – 1. Bulgarian Network to Weaponize Ukraine Intelligence and Middle-East’s Terrorists

    The decision to ignore the concerns of the SEAL commander has been seen by the angered SEAL community in America as “beyond rational planning” and “a disaster waiting to happen.” I learned that one high-ranking member of the community, now retired, wrote a private letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, asking that the officer who overruled the SEAL commander be court-martialed for dereliction of duty as the buck-stops-here boss of the operation. “It will never happen,” the former officer told me. “Dead SEALs will go down in Navy annals as heroes, not victims.” His point was that the Navy would never acknowledge that the SEAL team had no business being sent on a search-and-destroy mission in such weather.

    US launches ‘Retaliatory AirStrikes’ in the Middle East. Targeted 85 sites in Iraq and Syria. At least 18 People Died

    As many as nine SEALs may have been aboard the SEALs’ inflatable speedboat—there was a second boat with no SEALs aboard as backup—as it dashed to the dhow that, as ordered, came to a stop and acknowledged that it was to be boarded. Three SEALs began the treacherous climb aboard the vessel. It is not known just what happened—did one fall off the special ladder, made up of steel tubes and chain links? Or did the ladder, swaying to and from in the heavy sea with two SEALs making the climb and a third waiting to do so, suddenly get rocked by a huge wave that flung the men against the side of the dhow, leaving both unconscious or worse, with only to drop into the sea? The badly injured third SEAL survived only because he fell into one of the speedboats.

    Only Obsolete Rocket Motors and Pieces of Old Missiles on the Dhow

    The SEALs who made the climb into the dhow “did find the treasure,” the retired officer sardonically told me. “There were some obsolete rocket motors, all Iran-made, and some pieces of Styx missiles from the 1950s and ’60s, but no significant missile components among the cargo, other than ancient engines and some random tubes that had been used in missile attacks. There was the usual cargo of liquor, cigarettes, random knock-off clothing, porn cassettes.”

    The Somali smugglers were taken prisoner and placed on Navy vessels that came to the scene, and the dhow sent to the bottom.

    The two deaths were reported, but over the next few days, the retired officer said, all involved “were playing the game,” keeping as many details as possible under wraps. The Lewis B. Puller was locked down in extreme secrecy. The names of the dead were made public, but not that of the survivor, if he does survive. His is a story that no one in the Navy wants told. I learned that the commanding officer of the Lewis B. Puller, who graduated from the Naval Academy in 2000 and spent his career in Navy aviation—not as a pilot but as a backseat radar intercept officer—may be quietly retired, if the system works as it usually does.

    Gaza, Donbass, Syria: GENOCIDES of the Zionist, Nazi, Jihadist Regimes is US-NATO’s “New” Geopolitical WEAPON

    There is a Navy history for such arrogance and deception that dates to the end of the Second World War. The chief of Naval Operations was crusty Admiral Ernest King, a brilliant officer who played a key role in advising President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on military matters. When asked at one point by an aide what to tell the press about the progress of the war against the Japanese fleet, King famously said: “Don’t tell them anything. When it’s over, tell them who won.”

    In 2013, Hersh’s reporting alleged that Syrian rebel forces, rather than the government, had attacked civilians with sarin gas at Ghouta during the Syrian Civil War, and in 2015, he presented an alternative account of the U.S. special forces raid in Pakistan which killed Osama bin Laden. In 2023, Hersh highlighted that the U.S. and Norway had sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines.

FOR YEARS YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN FULL OF SHIT AND ALL YOU HAVE TO SHOW FOR IT IS A PLATFORM THAT HAS 20 ACTIVE USERS
    I'm not going to cross post the CONTENT of this....massively offensive post that was sent to me via messages, but, I will respond to it:

    Hes in a lot of debt. Just ask his former development team @BrianConte.
    - Brian has already tried to sue, but due to how things were handled on his end, he lost that case. So, not really true there at all.

    SoMee is about to be sued by Brian Conte:
    - We are not. We were in no breach of contract with the guy, and have paid what he was supposed to be paid, but did counter his claims for the mobile app, as they were not what was promised.

    Republic has been holding off because they were doing their due dilligence on SoMee.
    - SoMee Passed due dilligence with Republic (took about 2 years) and we were allowed to post on republic w/o issue. We had some issues w/ Republic directly where they kept forcing reconfirmation after material changes were made to the campaign, when they said they wouldn't, but other than that, our relationship with them, isn't even negative.

    Phillip getting put out of his home probably another scam
    - WTF is this nonsense? I moved my entire family from Las Vegas out to Colorado only to be scammed out of our future home by a fraudster who scammed more than 8 other people at the same time, for the same damn scam. We have a police case, FBI case, and were even on ABC news for it. You can read it here:
    https://www.denver7.com/news/contact-denver7/families-new-to-colorado-lose-thousands-in-alleged-aurora-rental-property-scam

    And on CBS News:
    https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/family-approaches-homelessness-falling-victim-rental-scam-aurora/

    I mean, c'mon, hardly a scam if it was on national Television and they had all the evidence, and even spoke to the police.

    Nice try though.

    The main points of -concern- for blockchain users:
    1. The company doesn't appear to be going anywhere with the social site
    2. The tokens are mostly not worth much

    When the reality is that the Social Site is still online, and still operational. And, we have partnered with entities to bring in more people, but we are not actively promoting the social side at the moment.

    The tokens are indeed not worth much, as there's little use for the tokens on the social side at the moment - from an advertising point of view, and from a token point of view. Mainly because the HIVE network directly isn't a good spot to land on for SoMee w/ all the current technical limitations of that platform, nor is it a good way to hold the tokens for value on the Hive Engine side, as that sub network (layer 2 on top of hive), isn't that reliable any more, and has frequent server/site issues.

    So, we are working on a different plan here. One that will marry both the existing social services as well as the blockchain services, using our own blockchain and our own contracts - but that, takes time to actually work.

    As to the claims that Chris hasn't paid anyone - and that it was Chris who didn't pay ME that caused ME to loose out on the house we were signed for in Colorado? That's utter nonsense. That was a scammer that took a lot of peole for money - Chris had nothing to do it with - in fact, if it were not for Chris AND the GoFundMe we would have been on the streets.

    Has this project gone slow? Yep! But, we are still here, unlike ALL of the other so called 'blockchain social media' services - we haven't disappeared, and we have done what we have done to make everything happen in a stable and smooth way. Does that mean that it may be a glacial pace? Probably. But, that's what keeps us here.

    And, as to the AI side - we are making great strides in it, even have current development teams working on some Agency SaaS based software to extend our AI services and offerings. So, given we have more than a few signed deals on the AI side, I highly doubt you can claim SoMee isn't doing things.

    This whole situation just frustates me to no end. SoMee isn't just about the blockchain, and it's not just about the token - in fact, if it were me, I wouldn't even want to consider the token at this time - I'd prefer we focus on AI and social media - but to keep our promises, we'll do our best to ensure that we offer a token that users will like.

    This is all i'm going to say on th is issue. You can read the offending post on somee.blog if you want to read it, i won't even bother linking to the nonsense.

    ***

    During the Summer of 1975 I worked as a volunteer on a Kibbutz in Northern Israel, close to the border with Lebanon. As a recent organic farming exponent in the UK, I wanted to explore how this unique socioeconomic experiment on the land was working.

    Although my stay in Israel was relatively short, it was an intense and meaningful experience. One which, as you will see as this story unfolds, throws a highly prescient light on the current catastrophe.

    There were maybe two hundred residents of the kibbutz, named ‘Rosh Ha Nikra’.

    One rose early and went to work on the land, coming back for a common breakfast at 9.a.m. It was too hot to work later in the mornings so one returned to the fields late afternoon to put in another session.

    At its inception, the basis of this community was carved out of a desert. Only an intense commitment to establishing an enduring self-sufficient village could turn the sour, salty land into something capable of growing sufficient food to provide for its occupants and a trading income.

    By the time I visited, there was already a thriving rural economy in operation, growing and exporting avocado pears and dairy products. Houses and land are integrated as a cooperative in the kibbutz movement, with no private ownership.

    Being situated close to the Lebanese border had its disadvantages. Missiles were periodically launched into surrounding territory as unresolved hostilities flared-up intermittently on the border land. It was disconcerting to an outsider, but the Rosh Ha Nikra community was hardened to this reality and did not let it break their daily routines.

    I am not Jewish, but have worked closely with Jewish colleagues in theatre and education projects based largely in the USA and Belgium. This led me to become interested in further exploring the background to the Israeli/Palestinian tensions that dog the peaceful functioning of the ‘two-state’ land division established in 1948.

    In a break from the Kibbutz work schedule, I was fortuitously given the opportunity to meet a senior figure of the Israeli military in Haifa. A kind, thoughtful individual who was close to retirement.

    Questioning him about his perspective on Israeli/Palestinian tensions, he responded in a way that threw a highly significant light on the reality. I recount here my memory of the deeply prescient contents of what he said:

    “Israel is not a country. The word in Hebrew means ‘to strive with God’ (to work with God). It is a tribal aspiration, it is not a place. To give the name Israel to this area of land is a falsification. It comes from the Zionist belief that this country is the original homeland of the Jews. There is no historical evidence for this belief, it is a dangerous fixation. Zionism is not Judaism.”

    At the time I was not fully aware of the ramifications of this reply; however it vividly endured in my mind from there on.

    My host asked what places I intended to visit in Israel. Definitely Jerusalem, I replied. His response was quite firm “Go beyond Jerusalem into the West Bank; into Jordan. Experience this place where Jordanians and Palestinian refugees live and work together.”

    I took his advice, initially boarding a bus to Jerusalem. It was here that I first experienced an uneasy tension between Palestinian and Jewish citizens.

    It should be remembered that a number of holy sites in Jerusalem are places of worship for both Palestinians and Jews. The ancient claims of both parties to the rights of ‘ownership’ of these sites causes an atmosphere of distrust and suspicion to never be far from the surface. Over the years, many bloody incidents have flared-up out of this febrile tension.

    Within deeper spiritual texts of old, bestowing imaginary religious powers on material objects and buildings, is considered a form of blasphemy of God, whose omniscient presence is recognised as a manifestation of infinite spirit, giving equal status to all races, colours, creeds and places. A manifestation of universal truth, not a proclamation about rights of ownership.

    This reflects on just why associating ‘Israel’ with a material possession would completely distort the true significance the epithet ‘To strive with God’.

    After exploring the impressive but austere architecture of old Jerusalem, I stepped into a colourful, creaking bus heading down into the ancient city of Jericho.

    Immediately the atmosphere lifted. The bus and its occupants slowly weaved its way down a long twisting road into the fertile valley below, while Arabic songs wailed out from the radio and the air became perfumed by sweet incense. Arabic headdresses replaced the casual Westernised attire of most Israelis.

    Outside, barren mountain slopes predominated, but in a number of places basic agricultural cultivations were in progress.

    Upon arriving in Old Jericho, a hoard of young men exuberantly offered their services to show visitors the local sites. I duly accepted the services of a young man with a broad smile, a good approximation of the English language and a promise of full knowledge of the relics of this ancient city.

    After a long day spent walking the ruins and rugged path ways, my guide asked me where I was staying. I don’t know, was my reply. Did he recommend anywhere?

    No he didn’t, advising it was not a good idea to stay in a local hotel. Instead, he invited me to his family home and to attend a ceremony celebrating the birth of his brother’s first child. A raucous event of much fraternal dancing and singing into which I was fully integrated.

    During more quiet moments my host told me about living in a form of Israeli police state. He admitted the tensions, but never spoke badly of the occupiers of his homeland, even praising Jewish agricultural achievements made on the barren hills East of Jerusalem.

    I spent a further few days visiting local townships; mostly peaceful, but some of the larger market towns, like Nablus, widely patrolled by Israeli armed police clearly expecting trouble.

    A few weeks later I left the country, with a strong impression left imprinted on my mind: on the kibbutz I was treated as a co-worker – and in Jordan I was treated as a brother. It was possible for me to see how these two quite different cultures could coexist in peace.

    But this could only work if the Israeli population would adopt the wisdom of the military leader I met in Haifa; and the Palestinians echo the respect for Israeli workers shown by my young Jordanian friend. Such qualities, forming the foundation of humanitarian inter-cultural respect, are the best, and perhaps only, chance for lasting peace and unity.

    Almost fifty years later, my reflections are not dimmed. However they have been dashed on the rocks of a terrible political deception which has now emerged as the catalyst for an ethnic cleansing nightmare that blows apart any opportunity for a peaceful resolution.

    This is a conflict created by the dark spin doctors of the New World Order. It is part of a deadly and carefully planned chess game designed to wipe Palestine, Gaza and the Palestinian people off the map and free-up the country of Israel to become the Zionist capital of the world.

    Prime Minister Netanyahu has publicly declared as much. For him and his fanatical Zionist colleagues, it is ‘God’s will’ that they should obliterate any and all opposition to the ‘chosen race’ achieving its ends.

    The great majority of Jews I know – and I believe the one’s I don’t – are appalled by this utterly insane megalomania. They have seen through the distortions and lies that surround the supposed preordained right of total ‘possession’ of this ancient strip of land at the Eastern most point of the Mediterranean sea.

    Those warm hearted brothers, sisters and elders who presently live in Israel, hold the key to the restoration of sanity.

    I most ardently call upon them to show the courage and irrevocable determination to resist Netanyahu’s mass extermination plans.

    Such resistance has the potential to catalyse a large ground swell of bottom-up support from around the world; but to do so – it must start from within Israel itself and embody:

    Total non compliance with political orders.
    A nationwide refusal to to be party to the murder of fellow human beings.
    A solid rebuttal of the demands of military recruitment.
    A ‘pro humanity’ expression of unequivocal solidarity with Palestinian brothers, sisters and children who share the same territory and know it as home; and whose fate it is to be subject to the view that they are ‘animals’ destined for the slaughter house.
    No thinking, feeling, self-respecting Israelite could fall into line with such depravity.

    Israel, as I learned, means ‘to strive with God’. A fine and liberating ideal. So if one is proud to be an Israeli citizen, one should know that this means to carry out actions that will be smiled upon by one’s Creator.

    This is the true ideological goal of the tribe of Israel.

    Anything else is a falsehood and must be recognised as that.

    Not just for the sake of preventing an unimaginable tragedy for the people of Palestine and of Israel, but for all of humanity.

  • zackrspv has indicated that somee.official is pivoting away from the Hive Blockchain which is great, however a little more elaboration would be great as to what he is thinking of.
    been a supporter of sorts of SoMee for about 4 years now and the amount of pivots is truly frustrating.
    The team are now focused on AI which is great, however IMHO without earning on a blockchain, SoMee is NGMI, blockchain monetization should be at the forefront of developments without question! otherwise it will stay a ghost town in here, the drop off in content and users since $SME was turned off is not surprising.
    The problem that Blockchain projects have when they release tokens/coins is that they leave themselves open to public opinion good and bad, Somee decided to release not 1 not 2 but 3 tokens!

    $SoMee- promised staking, promised DAO, promised DeFi. none of these happened.

    $SME- useful for a while now worthless.

    $SAT- had a big fantastic launch that sucked in plebs with a promise of an ad share marketplace. DIDNT happen

    MARKETING- for sooo looong we were promised that the team had the best connections in the whole space and onboarding the masses would be easy with all their influencers and A listers, turns out this was BS.

    $50M GEM deal, LO FKN L is all i need to say about that.

    with all that is happening around the world at the moment i feel that somee has really missed a great opportunity, especially with all the ghost bans on other social media platforms, they really could have taken advantage of all that.
    MONETIZATION needs to come first, without it its just another social media platform with zero point of difference.

  • Investors love Binance for several compelling reasons. Binance, founded in 2017 by Changpeng Zhao (CZ), has emerged as one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. Here are some key factors that contribute to its popularity among investors:
    Strong Market Position: Binance has established a dominant position in the global cryptocurrency market. It consistently ranks among the largest exchanges by trading volume and boasts a broad user base. The exchange's popularity and reputation attract a vast pool of traders and investors, ensuring high liquidity and a wide range of trading opportunities.
    Extensive Range of Cryptocurrencies: Binance offers an extensive selection of cryptocurrencies for trading. It supports a vast array of digital assets, including major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP), as well as numerous altcoins. This wide range of options allows investors to diversify their portfolios and capitalize on various investment opportunities.
    User-Friendly Interface: Binance provides a user-friendly and intuitive interface, making it accessible to both beginner and experienced traders. The platform offers a seamless trading experience with advanced charting tools, order types, and customizable settings. Additionally, Binance offers a simplified interface for novice users, ensuring a smooth onboarding process.
    Robust Security Measures: Security is a top priority for Binance. The exchange has implemented several measures to safeguard user funds and data. These include two-factor authentication (2FA), withdrawal whitelisting, cold storage for the majority of funds, and regular security audits. Binance's commitment to maintaining a secure platform instills confidence in investors and helps protect against potential security breaches.
    Wide Range of Services: Binance offers more than just a trading platform. It has expanded its services to cater to various investor needs. Binance features a decentralized exchange (Binance DEX), margin trading, futures trading, staking, lending, and a launchpad for token sales, providing investors with diverse avenues to explore and profit from different investment strategies.
    Innovation and Adaptability: Binance has a track record of innovation and adaptability to market trends. The exchange frequently introduces new features, products, and services to stay ahead of the curve and meet the evolving needs of its users. Binance's ability to adapt to the changing landscape of the cryptocurrency industry makes it an attractive platform for investors seeking growth and innovation.
    Binance Coin (BNB) Utility: Binance has its native cryptocurrency, Binance Coin (BNB), which adds an additional layer of value for investors. BNB offers various utilities within the Binance ecosystem, such as discounted trading fees, participation in token sales, and access to exclusive events. BNB has demonstrated significant growth and has become one of the most valuable and widely used cryptocurrencies, further increasing its appeal to investors.
    Strong Leadership and Reputation: Binance's founder and CEO, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), has established himself as a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency industry. CZ's leadership and vision have propelled Binance's success and earned the trust of investors. The exchange's commitment to transparency, compliance, and regulatory efforts has also helped build a strong reputation within the crypto community and traditional financial sectors.
    Overall, Binance's strong market position, extensive range of cryptocurrencies, user-friendly interface, robust security measures, wide range of services, innovation, BNB utility, and strong leadership make it a preferred choice for investors looking to participate in the cryptocurrency market. However, it's essential to conduct thorough research and consider individual investment goals and risk tolerance before making any investment decisions.

  • I've seen christopherkramer.10 mention how #SoMee is committed to transparency, but for some reason they have removed the #usercount in the #Forums section. I can see how this low number will hurt #onboarding those looking for an #audience, but it's two steps back for the #transparency claim.

    Please bring this information back in the name of transparency.
