The failure of square at all uncountable cardinals is weaker than a Woodin limit of Woodin cardinals

Abstract
We force the Axiom of Choice over the least initial segment of a Nairian model satisfying ZF. In the forcing extension, square_kappa fails at all uncountable cardinals kappa, and every regular cardinal is omega-strongly measurable in HOD, as witnessed by the omega-club filter. Thus the failure of square everywhere is within the current reach of inner model theory, and the HOD Hypothesis is not provable in ZFC.
