We’ve got a mixed bag of news for y’all in this week’s news roundup, including public miner operational updates from August, Japan’s largest power company mining bitcoin, Fractal Bitcoin’s rip-roaring first week, and the intersection of alternative history and shitcoinery (yes really). 

Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Will and Colin hop on for another duo pod this week for one of the most eclectic roundups yet. The numbers are in for August for the public bitcoin mining world, and these companies are slowly (but steadily) expanding their hashrate, while also collectively selling more than 1,200 BTC over the month. In a testament to bitcoin mining’s utility for utilities, Japan’s largest power company, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), is mining bitcoin with a portion of its renewable energy assets. Finally, the lads breakdown the juicy details of sidechain Fractal Bitcoin’s first week. And in this week’s cry corne – in which Darryl Cooper (Martyr Made) gets BSV-pilled – they touch on the irony of an alternative historian storing his podcasts on a blockchain launched by a man who tried rewriting the history of Bitcoin.

A Venezuelan émigré gang is wreaking havoc in U.S. communities.

In El Paso, Texas, the Tren de Aragua gang took over a hotel. And in Aurora, Colorado, members of the same Venezuelan gang have been terrorizing residents in rundown apartment complexes. 

Tren de Aragua is a “Venezuelan prison gang and ... they've been wreaking havoc throughout South America ... since their inception,” according to Chris Chmielenski, president of the Immigration Accountability Project. 

That “havoc” has now come to America. 

The brothers of Venezuelan illegal alien Jose Ibarra, the lead suspect in the slaying of Georgia college student Laken Riley, are thought to be connected to the Tren de Aragua gang, the New York Post reported. 

Aragua is one of Venezuela's 23 states, and Tren de Aragua translates to “Aragua Train.”

Members of Tren de Aragua are “getting through some of these cracks that the Biden-Harris administration has exploited because of certain loopholes within our immigration law,” Chmielenski says. 

Under Chmielenski’s leadership, the Immigration Accountability Project is working to “hold members of Congress and members of the administration accountable for their actions, votes, and statements that they make on immigration, and to educate the American people on how these immigration issues affect them in their communities,” he says. 

Chmielenski joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the recent spike in crime carried out at the hands of illegal aliens, and what a new presidential administration could do to address the crisis.
