Microsoft is deceiving you by inflating its AI empire with money it handed its OWN customer first. They sold Wall Street a $37 billion AI business, then went silent the moment its own filing showed where that money came from. The line sits in the annual report for fiscal 2026: Microsoft recorded $24.1 billion of revenue from commercial arrangements with OpenAI, including revenue sharing payments. If you run that figure against Microsoft's own AI disclosures you'll find that OpenAI made up more than half, and likely around 70%, of everything the company counts as AI sales. ONE customer. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed the figure covers all sales and revenue share from OpenAI. The 70% comes by assuming Microsoft's AI run rate kept growing at the 123% pace the company itself reported in March, which is the company's own optimistic math turned around on it. Now follow where that money starts: Microsoft has put around $12 billion into OpenAI since 2019. OpenAI spends its cash on computing power, and Microsoft is the cloud provider selling it. So the money leaves as an investment and comes back as an Azure bill. Microsoft then books that bill as AI revenue and shows it to investors as proof the AI business is "working." Microsoft invests in OpenAI -> OpenAI buys Microsoft compute -> Microsoft records the payment as AI revenue -> the AI growth story goes to Wall Street And a chunk of it never actually arrived. The same filing shows $6 billion of accounts receivable from OpenAI as of June 30. That is $6 billion of AI revenue Microsoft booked and had not been paid when the year closed. Now here's where it gets really concerning for anyone holding the stock... Microsoft has told the public how big its total AI business is exactly twice. Once for the quarter ending December 2024, when it said the unit was on pace for more than $13 billion a year. And once for the quarter ending March 2026, when Satya Nadella put it on pace for $37 billion. That $37 billion number went everywhere. It was the headline proof that Microsoft had won the AI race. Then fourth quarter earnings arrived, and Microsoft did NOT update it. The company that had been announcing the figure as its own scoreboard stopped announcing the figure. In the same stretch, the filing landed showing where most of it came from. So what is actually left underneath? The full year AI business ran near $34 billion. Take OpenAI out and roughly $10 billion remains. Microsoft has spent about $261 billion on capital expenditure since the start of 2022. That is the scale of the bet against what the rest of the AI business currently brings in. And the one customer holding it up is walking further away every quarter. In October, Microsoft's stake in OpenAI dropped to 27% from 32.5%. In April the partnership was rewritten so OpenAI can sell its products across any cloud it likes, which is how Amazon got a seat at the table. The exclusivity that made this arrangement valuable is gone. The compute bill and the unpaid $6 billion are still on Microsoft's books. Nadella spent two years telling the market Microsoft built the largest AI business in software. The filing shows one client bought most of it, on credit, using money Microsoft partly supplied. So watch the next earnings call: If Microsoft puts a fresh total AI number back on the board, the business found customers beyond OpenAI. If you hear a lot about AI momentum and never hear what it adds up to, you already know why the number went missing. But nonetheless, how is something like this even legal?

Imagine enlisting in 🇺🇸military, get deliberately attacked by an ally, watch your Gov collude w/the attackers to cover up the attack & spend 57 years censored & gagged by your Gov for the benefit of this ally, ISRAEL. This is the story of the USS Liberty. Expand to read more. Details: In 1967 Israel attacked the USS Liberty (intelligence gathering ship) during the Israel 6-Day War (what the survivors on the USS Liberty called an Israel Land Grab of the Golan Heights). After 🇮🇱Israel killed 34 & wounded 171 🇺🇸crew members on the USS Liberty: 🔹US Gov issued media blackout 🔹Survivors told never to speak about it or face 10yrs military prison & $10K fine 🔹Ship made to look new in Malta before sailing back to US 🔹Israel gave widows $25K, surviving kids over 5yrs $10k & $0 to kids under 5 because they are too young to understand trauma US Congress performed a sham 20-day investigation & concluded it was an accident despite loads of evidence confirming: ♦️Israel knew the coordinates of the USS Liberty ♦️Ship had communicated its presence to Israel ♦️Ship was flying its “holiday colors” which is an extra large 🇺🇸Flag ♦️Declassified Israel recordings show Israel confirmed it was a US ship before Israel ordered the attack: “It’s an American Ship, Never mind, hit her!” The crew of the USS Liberty continue to reject the 1967 Congressional Report; demand to know why US Gov covered up the attack & why they won’t declassify the documents. The USS Liberty Veterans Association members USS Liberty Veterans Association have spent 57 years (without success) asking for a full and accurate investigation to include testimonies from the crew which were omitted from the Congressional Report. They have also filed War Crimes charges against the State of Israel for shooting: 🔹Stretcher Bearers 🔹Firefighters 🔹Life Rafts All of which are deemed war crimes under US & International Law. The war crimes charges have been ignored by our Government. In the 2nd post in this thread, you’ll find a link to a repository of letters sent to members of Congress, media, publishers and anyone who could help the survivors tell their stories. What you find is decades of rejection and dismissal. A few members of Congress dared to help the survivors of the USS Liberty. The Israel Lobby severely targeted, punished and labeled (racists & antisemitic) these lawmakers: ♦️J. William Fulbright (D) ♦️Barry Goldwater (R) ♦️Adlai E. Stevenson III (D) ♦️Paul Finley (R) ♦️Pete McCloskey (R) ♦️James Traficant (D) ♦️Jim Moran (D) ♦️Nick Rahall (D) When you think about what our Gov has done against its own people for the benefit of Israel, it really puts the 76 years of US Gov support of Apartheid Israel into perspective.

The world took a giant leap forward into totalitarianism yesterday as the Brazilian government blocked X, formerly Twitter, and threatened to fine its citizens $8,900 per day if they use it. Brazil, the world's sixth largest nation by population, now joins North Korea, China, and Iran in the list of countries that have banned X. It is the 12th largest economy in the world and the superpower of the global South. It doesn’t matter whether or not you care about Brazil. Its totalitarianism is at risk of spreading around the world. Yet neither President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, nor anyone else in the US government has formally denounced the censorship. That’s probably because Biden, Harris, and Democrats not only support the censorship but have also been directly funding it. Of course, there is authentic demand for censorship from within Brazil, and it is ultimately up to the Brazilian people to reverse the nation’s descent into totalitarianism. Brazil’s powerful government-funded news media corporations have been urging censorship, which benefits President Lula’s ruling Workers’ Party. It’s up to Senate President Rodrigo Pacheco to impeach the Supreme Court Justice turned dictator, Alexandre de Moraes. At the same time, the Biden administration and Democrats have played an influential role in instigating censorship in Brazil. The FBI went to Brazil and gave its Supreme Court justices advice on how to censor its population. The US government has been funding many of the NGOs in Brazil that have demanded censorship since the election of a populist president there in 2018. And when I testified before Congress in May of this year, the Democrats on the committee and their witness defended Brazil’s censorship. And Pacheco yesterday affirmed his support for Moraes. After the election of populist president Jair Bolsonaro in 2018, the US government funded pro-censorship organizations that demanded censorship. Moraes yesterday openly defended censorship to prevent “extremist populist groups” from coming to power. As United States Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr noted yesterday, that’s a direct violation of the Brazilian constitution, which explicitly protects political speech. As such, the totalitarian takeover of Brazil is a model for what the Democrats and the legacy news media want for the whole world. Pro-censorship scholars at Stanford and Harvard, Democrats in Congress, and the US news media have long recognized that the First Amendment is an obstacle to their plans. And so they have supported censorship efforts by nations with weaker free speech protections, like Brazil, Britain, Australia, and the European Union, to censor and even block X. It’s important that we fight back. We need to show our support for free speech. I urge my Brazilian friends to stay on the platform. Everyone knows that it would be extremely difficult for Moraes to enforce his insane decree, much less fairly and equally. Proof of this comes from the fact that the Brazilian government and the ruling Workers’ Party are still using X, which means they are also using VPNs to evade their own ban. Brazil is thus not just a dictatorship but a lawless one. Its leaders are behaving like the hypocritical pig leaders in George Orwell’s Animal Farm. And independent Brazilian politicians including Senator Eduardo Girão, Congressman Marcel Van Hattam, and Vice Governor of Minas Gerais, Mateus Simões are all resisting the ban and posting on X. “I never imagined myself practicing and propagating civil disobedience,” said Simões, “but censorship cannot be tolerated, ever.” If you’re not already a premium subscriber to X, please consider becoming one. If you can do more, please consider subscribing to Public. And if you can do even more than that, please make a tax-deductible donation to the free speech movement here: Biden and Harris and other political leaders must denounce what is happening. It’s incredible that the only US government official to criticize Brazil’s dictators is the FCC’s Brendan Carr. Congress must hold hearings. People around the world should recognize Brazil’s banning of X as an attack on free speech everywhere. Everyone is at greater risk of totalitarianism when major countries like Brazil succumb to it. The good news is that the whole world is watching and many in the legacy news media in Brazil are denouncing the government’s ban on X. It’s not too late to turn things around. The world took a giant leap toward dystopia yesterday. But a worldwide free speech movement can pull Brazil back. It’s time to make 1984 and Animal Farm fiction again.

ISRAEL: AFRICANS DENIED ACCESS TO BOMB SHELTERS Video circulating online allegedly shows Africans and other foreign nationals in Israel being denied entry to bomb shelters during recent retaliatory missile strikes by Iran. While a few comments suggest the shelters were simply full, many are sceptical about whether it is truly a question of capacity or prejudice. Other recent videos also show foreigners being barred from entering underground facilities - with some Israelis claiming they’re for ‘Jews only.’ Palestinians and Bedouins in particular have also reportedly faced discrimination. On 15 June, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, addressed the nation, saying: ‘The missile doesn’t distinguish, but neither do the first responders, the Home Front Command officials, security forces who come to help us - they don’t distinguish.’ Judging by the videos that are emerging, the Israeli bomb shelters certainly do distinguish - or rather, discriminate. Among those said to have been denied shelter are Palestinian medics, including uniformed nurses. State-level discrimination - in the form of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their lands for over seven decades - has arguably been a part of Israel since its foundation. The past 20 months of Tel Aviv’s US-backed onslaught on Palestinians in the Occupied Territories only confirm that view. But there are other examples. In 2013, Israel's Health Ministry launched an investigation after it emerged that Ethiopian-Jewish immigrant women had been given long-acting contraceptive injections - without their full consent or knowledge. Many of these women reported that they were pressured to accept the injections as a condition for immigration, with some stating they were misled to believe the shots were routine vaccinations.

Dana Gioia is one of the world’s greatest living poets. He’s been writing for ~55 years, and this 3-hour interview is all about his approach to writing. Some lessons: 1. What is poetry? Here’s a definition: “Poetry is a way of remembering what it would impoverish us to forget.” 2. And who is the mother of the muses? Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory. 3. You can’t understand poetry until you start learning it by heart. Yes, memorizing it. The metaphor of knowing something by heart means storing a piece of wisdom in the center of your being and making it a part of you. 4. Poetry exists in the body before it exists in language. For him, great writing is about putting form to felt sensations. 5. First drafts are an act of madness. They’re messy and chaotic, and it’s worth embracing that. Only in the process of revision does the structure begin to reveal itself. 6. The most valuable ideas arrive suddenly, fully formed but fragile, and they won’t wait for you to be ready. If you don’t write them down immediately, you’ll probably forget them. 7. His artistic process: Confusion, followed by madness, exhilaration, and despair. 8. Aspiring writers who can’t find the time to write run the risk of living a life of regret, where destiny takes the wheel and steers them off-course. Seneca says, “If you follow your destiny, it guides you. If you resist it, it drags you behind it.” 9. What’s the purpose of art? Most people, most of the time, go through life half-awake. The purpose of art is to awaken us to reality and help us feel our situation. Done right, it excites, expands, and refines our complete human intelligence. 10. Can you write with a full-time job? T.S. Eliot had a day job at a bank. Wallace Stevens was an insurance lawyer. Dana Gioia worked a full-time job in New York and wrote in the evenings. 11. Life is like a wallet full of one-hour bills. You only have 24 hours to spend every day. If you want to do serious writing while raising a family and maintaining a full-time job, almost every hour of every day has to be budgeted. 12. Poetry should turn. It shouldn’t just climb to an emotional height. It should pivot, contradict, or contain its own rebuttal. But most new poems go something like this: “I’m sad, I’m sad, I’m sad, I’m sad, the end,” or “I’m happy, I’m happy, I’m happy, the end. There’s no twist, no turn. 13. You don’t need to be 100% original. All you need to do is assemble parts of the reality that already exists. As George Balanchine said, “God creates, I assemble.” 14. A foundational book in his life: The City of God by St. Augustine. He says there are two cities that exist: There’s the City of Man, which is ruled by wealth and power and all the laws of man. And there’s the City of God which is eternal and governed by the rules of God. 15. Great poetry exists at the level of intuition, and it’s the same intuition that academic education tries to suppress. With great poems, like great songs, you feel before you understand. 16. Art is an argument with yourself. Yeats said: “Out of arguments with others, we make politics. Out of arguments with ourselves, we make poetry.” 17. Great writing should astonish the creator, and if it doesn’t astonish the creator, it won’t astonish the reader. 18. Robert Frost once said: “No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.” 19. Beauty is being able to see the form, the shape underneath reality, and to understand why it is right, even when it is destructive or terrifying or humiliating. The most powerful kind of beauty is to discover the secret shape and rightness of things that are terrifying. 20. On novels: Most people don’t understand what a novel is — and how revolutionary the form was. So, what’s a novel? It’s a story that tells you simultaneously what’s happening on the outside of a character and what they’re thinking on the inside. I’ve shared the full interview with Dana Gioia below. If you’d rather watch it on YouTube, or listen on Apple or Spotify, check out the reply tweets.

Our Battle Angel Alita cosplay will be on display from tomorrow this weekend at London Comic Con Winter at Olympia, November 16-17. I’ve set her all up to run on an ESP32 microprocessor powering an OLED display that shows the #smartdoll protocol boot sequence. The setup also includes pulsating lights that bring the cyber shell to life. For the past 10 years, whenever folks asked, “What’s so ‘smart’ about Smart Doll?” I’d share the story of how it all started as an April Fools’ joke that went viral. Back then, “Smart Doll” was imagined as a doll that could do your homework and even had built-in flamethrowers. The name stuck—almost as if it chose us—and it became an ongoing challenge to address, given the lack of any “smart” functionality. It’s a question I’ve been inspired to tackle in new ways ever since. ;-) But times have changed. Now, when people ask the same question, I simply reply, “What do you want them to do?” Until now, folks have used the Smart Doll platform to express creativity through our diverse collection of body shapes and skin tones. But Smart Doll is evolving—continuing to be a canvas for imagination while becoming a platform for innovation and limitless possibilities. With Cyber Shell Cortex, we’ve come full circle. Designed as a customizable shell for DIY enthusiasts, it allows folks to pair their Smart Doll with sensors, servo motors, and other modules, transforming them into an IoT-enabled companion capable of connecting to APIs like ChatGPT or IFTTT to control home appliances and more. For the first time, Smart Doll can truly live up to its name, limited only by the physical space inside and the creativity of those who dare to make it their own. There’s still work to do—like redesigning the spine to create more internal space for rechargeable batteries, modules, and servomotors. I’m also exploring motorized body panels that can open automatically—features that require retooling molds. While it’ll take some time before the release, I believe it will be worth the wait.

Our Battle Angel Alita cosplay will be on display from tomorrow this weekend at London Comic Con Winter at Olympia, November 16-17. I’ve set her all up to run on an ESP32 microprocessor powering an OLED display that shows the #smartdoll protocol boot sequence.

Elon Musk just explained why the SpaceX IPO is an energy story and the energy constraint is why he believes space becomes the only viable path for AI to scale (Save this). The argument he is making is one of the most important and least understood things happening in technology right now. The United States currently consumes roughly 500 gigawatts of electricity on average. To double that capacity which is what continued AI expansion on the current terrestrial trajectory would eventually require would mean building as many power plants as currently exist in the entire country. He is not arguing that this is technically impossible, just that communities are not willing to accept it, that permitting timelines make it unrealistic, and that the hard ceiling on Earth based power generation means the expansion of AI compute will eventually hit a wall that no amount of capital can overcome on the ground. His observation is that in space, that wall does not exist. A solar panel in orbit produces roughly five times more power than the same panel on Earth, operates in continuous sunlight uninterrupted by weather or nighttime, and benefits from the vacuum of space as a completely passive cooling system meaning the two largest operating costs of any terrestrial data center, energy and cooling, are effectively eliminated. He then said that you could theoretically increase harnessed energy by a factor of one million and still be using less than a millionth of the sun's total energy output. This is the underlying physics of why SpaceX filed with the FCC to launch up to one million solar powered AI satellites, and why they described that constellation in their own filing as a first step toward becoming a Kardashev Type II civilization capable of harnessing the full power of the sun. To understand what makes this credible rather than visionary, you need to understand what SpaceX already controls that no other company on earth possesses. Starship, once operating at full cadence, can deliver 100 to 150 tons of payload to orbit per launch, at a target cost per kilogram that is an order of magnitude lower than any existing vehicle. Musk's stated ambition is to scale Starship to 10,000 to 30,000 launches per year, a frequency that would allow the deployment of orbital compute infrastructure at a pace that is currently unimaginable with any existing rocket. He told xAI staff earlier this year that achieving space-based AI at scale will eventually require manufacturing facilities on the moon, building solar panels and heat dissipation structures from lunar silicon and aluminum, and launching them into orbit from there rather than from Earth's surface because the moon's lower gravity makes the economics of launch dramatically more favorable. SpaceX's S-1 filing explicitly states that its launch capabilities could enable massive AI compute satellite constellations with the potential for millions of satellites for orbital data centers, with the first launch potentially occurring as soon as 2028. Google and Alphabet are already in advanced talks with SpaceX about deploying space-based data centers. Starcloud, a startup running Nvidia H100 GPUs in orbit, has already validated that high-performance AI inference workloads can operate in space, with plans to scale to five gigawatts of orbital compute power by 2035. This is why Musk believes the cost crossover happens in two to three years because SpaceX's launch cost trajectory intersects with the accelerating energy constraint on the ground in a way that makes space genuinely cheaper, faster, and less regulated at exactly the moment AI demand is hitting its hardest physical limits.

Quantum Mechanics Series Lecture 4 Lecture 1 established that ρ(x,t) = |ψ(x,t)|² behaves like a conserved probability density. Lecture 2 showed what drives that flow. We also saw that writing ψ = r exp(iθ) makes the probability current proportional to the phase gradient, making it clear that phase geometry literally steers the motion. Lecture 3 then showed that the centroid of that flow can move almost classically when the packet is tight and the external potential is smooth. However, that raises yet another question. If the centroid can look classical, why does the full wave still spread, bend, split, and interfere in ways no classical particle cloud would? This is because the wave is not driven only by the external potential. It is also driven by its own curvature. Write ψ(x,t) = r(x,t) exp(iθ(x,t)) with ρ = r². Then Schrödinger’s equation gives two coupled real equations. One is the continuity equation you already know. The other looks like a Hamilton-Jacobi equation, but with one extra term: Q = −(1/2m) ∇²r / r This is the so-called Quantum Potential. It depends entirely on how the amplitude bends across space. So, the wave is being shaped not only by V(x,t), but also by the geometry of its own envelope. In the animation, the upper surface is still |ψ| and its skin is still colored by arg(ψ). The glowing threads still trace the probability current. But now a second membrane hangs underneath. That lower membrane encodes the quantum potential Q itself. The porcelain bead marks the quantum centroid. The amber bead follows a classical centroid under the same external V. When those paths separate, the lower membrane tells you why. The difference is not magic but the extra term classical mechanics does not have. The math breakdown: Start from Schrödinger evolution in units with ħ = 1: i ∂ψ/∂t = [ −(1/2m) ∇² + V(x,t) ] ψ Write the state in polar form: ψ = r exp(iθ) Then ρ = |ψ|² = r² From the imaginary part, you recover probability conservation: ∂ρ/∂t + ∇·j = 0 with j = (1/m) Im(ψ* ∇ψ) = (ρ/m) ∇θ So the local velocity field is v = j / ρ = ∇θ / m Now take the real part of Schrödinger’s equation. That gives ∂θ/∂t + |∇θ|² / (2m) + V + Q = 0 where Q = −(1/2m) ∇²r / r This is the classical Hamilton-Jacobi equation with one extra term. That extra term is what makes quantum motion locally different from classical motion. Take a gradient of that phase equation and use v = ∇θ / m. Then the flow obeys an Euler-like equation: ∂v/∂t + (v·∇)v = −(1/m) ∇(V + Q) In other words, there are really two forces in the problem. One comes from the external potential V. The other comes from the wave’s own curvature through Q. That is why Ehrenfest is only approximate. The centroid can still satisfy d⟨x⟩/dt = ⟨p⟩/m d⟨p⟩/dt = −⟨∇V⟩ but the internal shape of the packet evolves under the combined influence of V and Q. When the packet stays broad and smooth, Q is gentle and the motion looks more classical. When the packet develops sharp curvature or interference structure, Q becomes strong and the classical picture breaks down. That is what this scene is designed to show live. #QuantumMechanics #Wavefunction #SchrodingerEquation #BornRule #ProbabilityCurrent #ContinuityEquation #Phase #EhrenfestTheorem #QuantumPotential #Madelung #HamiltonJacobi #MathematicalPhysics #Mathematics #Physics

🚨 WHY HAVE I NEVER BEEN CALLED TO TESTIFY AT THE UFO/UAP HEARINGS? 👁️🛸 My friends… the US government are in the process of releasing a vast collection of previously classified UFO/UAP files to the public – and Congress has also called in pilots, intelligence officers & Pentagon whistleblowers to speak about UFOs/UAPs. …but, so far, none of the files released include evidence of relating to materials taken from crashed craft, or fully intact craft themselves. Nor do they provide any biological evidence of non-human intelligence (i.e. biological samples and actual bodies) Yet I KNOW that the US government are in possession of both of these things! So WHY have the files, so far, failed to provide any proof of such CONCRETE and undeniable evidence? And why has NOT ONE PERSON ever asked ME to testify about what I saw, felt and witnessed with my own eyes? For MANY YEARS now (after keeping it secret for decades) I have publicly stated that Dr Wernher von Braun personally showed me: Unusual metal fragment that (before telling me that they came from a recovered UFO) he asked me to psychically gain information from...that material felt ALIVE when I touched it, and I sensed some kind of innate intelligence or CONSCIOUSNES! THEN He also showed me the preserved NON-HUMAN bodies of the craft's occupants – which were been kept, at the time, inside a refrigerated underground facility at NASA’s Goddard Space Center! Yet despite years of talk about biologics & disclosure…No one from Congress has EVER contacted me! No one has invited me to speak under oath. Nobody has asked: 'Uri… tell us what you saw.' WHY? Are they afraid of what I might say? Afraid of what I might expose? Are all the UFO/UAP files currently being released “cherry picked” in order to only disclose what they want/are willing to disclose at this time? Are they just disclosing enough truth to acclimatise the public……but NOT enough to expose the individuals & institutions who have been involved in decades of secrecy? If so - and if the US congress truly wants to know the FULL extent of what has been hidden by their government - I am here! & I am ready to speak! #UFO #Disclosure #UAP

The Trump administration is attacking free speech, say the media and Democrats. On Monday, Attorney General Pam Bondi said, “There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech. And there’s no place [for it], especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie.” Fear of the Trump administration led ABC to abandon late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel yesterday, said progressives. Kimmel had claimed the man who assassinated conservative leader Charlie Kirk was “MAGA.” Brendan Carr, chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which regulates broadcast networks, said, in response, “This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney [ABC’s owner]. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel, or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.” However, prominent Trump supporters condemned Bondi’s remarks en masse, near-instantaneously, and she backtracked the next day, saying, “If you want to be a hateful person and simply say hateful things, that is your right to do so.” As for Carr, he dismissed the idea that his words played a significant role in ABC’s decision, telling Public, “the reporting is that Disney itself had their own concerns about the programming. A lot of folks want to point fingers here at convenient targets because they don’t want to see or deal with the broader market trends. Late night ratings are way down.” And yet it is difficult to believe that Carr’s remarks had no influence. It is reasonable to think that Nexstar may have feared that the FCC wouldn’t approve its acquisition of Tegna, which operates 64 stations in 51 markets, if it had allowed Kimmel’s show to continue. That purchase requires the FCC to allow Nexstar to go beyond current limits on broadcast station ownership. And, notes the Journal, Carr’s remarks may have indirectly impacted Disney: “Executives also discussed staff safety, including threatening emails staff on Kimmel’s show had received after Carr’s remarks and the posting of some of their personal information online, the people said.” The FCC repealed the “fairness doctrine” in 1987, since it required too much government regulation of content, and the FCC’s “public interest” power is not a license to police programs like Kimmel. Indeed, the FCC’s mandate today is largely structural with narrow content exceptions (e.g., indecency, children’s programming, and political advertising). As such, Carr’s remarks were “jawboning,” a term that refers to speech or implied threats by government officials to pressure private parties into actions that officials cannot legally mandate. Such jawboning can be a form of indirect censorship. President Biden engaged in similar pressure tactics when he publicly said social media companies were “killing people” by not removing Covid “misinformation.” Biden officials also invoked Section 230 to coerce platforms into greater censorship, and internal Facebook emails revealed that the company was worried about failing to secure a data deal with Europe if it did not comply with the administration’s censorship demands. The Left’s complaints about censorship are made in particularly bad faith, given its role in defending the Biden administration’s coercive jawboning and the resulting mass censorship during Covid. The Left also normalized “cancellations,” calling for countless public figures and private individuals to be deplatformed and fired for causing offense. In 2018, Kimmel mocked Roseanne Barr after ABC canceled her show after she posted an offensive tweet about a black former Obama administration official. The people decrying what Bondi and Carr said are the same ones who demanded sweeping government censorship of social media platforms in the guise of combating “misinformation” and “hate speech” in 2020 and 2021. Consider Barack Obama, who criticized Carr’s remarks. It was Obama’s people at the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, National Science Foundation, DOD, and CIA who put in place the Censorship Industrial Complex between 2016 and 2024. And it was Obama who gave a 2022 speech at Stanford laying out a vision for government “regulation” of social media platforms one week before DHS launched its “Disinformation Governance Board.” The Democrat-supported Censorship Industrial Complex was and remains, in Europe and elsewhere, a far greater threat to free speech than the angry remarks of Trump and Carr, as inappropriate and as unhelpful as they were. The Complex was embedded in the government, including the Intelligence Community, and operated secretly to manipulate information, public opinion, and “whole narratives.” New York Times columnist David French, who criticized the Trump administration for censorship, defended government censorship in the past as “correcting misinformation” and pointed to the First Amendment rights of government employees. It’s important to remember the context we are in. A little over one week has passed since an individual, who appears to be a Left-wing romantic partner of a trans-identified male, assassinated a major conservative leader, Charlie Kirk. Assassination is the ultimate form of censorship. And Kirk was a communications and organizing prodigy who many on the Right viewed as future Republican presidential material. Kirk’s killing comes after 10 years of the Left, broadly defined to include the media, Democrats, and the progressive NGO industry, dehumanizing Republicans. As such, many, if not most, on the Right hold the Left responsible for the killing of one of its most promising leaders, who also happened to be a family man and Christian. When it comes to public opinion, five times more people on the Left justify violence than those on the Right. A YouGov survey conducted after Kirk’s assassination found that 25% of people who describe themselves as “very liberal” and 17% who describe themselves as “liberal” say that it is sometimes justified to resort to violence to achieve political goals. Only 3% of people who describe themselves as “very conservative” and 6% of people who describe themselves as “conservative” said the same thing. A separate poll earlier this year found that 55% of people who identify as left of center say that it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Trump. But it is short-sighted for the Trump administration to do and say things that undermine its ability to demand free speech abroad, and hold the Left accountable at home. The Trump administration has rightly raised the alarm about censorship in Europe and Brazil of American social media platforms, and often of Americans.

The Trump administration is attacking free speech, say the media and Democrats. On Monday, Attorney General Pam Bondi said, “There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech. And there’s no place [for it], especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie.” Fear of the Trump administration led ABC to abandon late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel yesterday, said progressives. Kimmel had claimed the man who assassinated conservative leader Charlie Kirk was “MAGA.” Brendan Carr, chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which regulates broadcast networks, said, in response, “This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney [ABC’s owner]. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel, or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.” However, prominent Trump supporters condemned Bondi’s remarks en masse, near-instantaneously, and she backtracked the next day, saying, “If you want to be a hateful person and simply say hateful things, that is your right to do so.” As for Carr, he dismissed the idea that his words played a significant role in ABC’s decision, telling Public, “the reporting is that Disney itself had their own concerns about the programming. A lot of folks want to point fingers here at convenient targets because they don’t want to see or deal with the broader market trends. Late night ratings are way down.” And yet it is difficult to believe that Carr’s remarks had no influence. It is reasonable to think that Nexstar may have feared that the FCC wouldn’t approve its acquisition of Tegna, which operates 64 stations in 51 markets, if it had allowed Kimmel’s show to continue. That purchase requires the FCC to allow Nexstar to go beyond current limits on broadcast station ownership. And, notes the Journal, Carr’s remarks may have indirectly impacted Disney: “Executives also discussed staff safety, including threatening emails staff on Kimmel’s show had received after Carr’s remarks and the posting of some of their personal information online, the people said.” The FCC repealed the “fairness doctrine” in 1987, since it required too much government regulation of content, and the FCC’s “public interest” power is not a license to police programs like Kimmel. Indeed, the FCC’s mandate today is largely structural with narrow content exceptions (e.g., indecency, children’s programming, and political advertising). As such, Carr’s remarks were “jawboning,” a term that refers to speech or implied threats by government officials to pressure private parties into actions that officials cannot legally mandate. Such jawboning can be a form of indirect censorship. President Biden engaged in similar pressure tactics when he publicly said social media companies were “killing people” by not removing Covid “misinformation.” Biden officials also invoked Section 230 to coerce platforms into greater censorship, and internal Facebook emails revealed that the company was worried about failing to secure a data deal with Europe if it did not comply with the administration’s censorship demands. The Left’s complaints about censorship are made in particularly bad faith, given its role in defending the Biden administration’s coercive jawboning and the resulting mass censorship during Covid. The Left also normalized “cancellations,” calling for countless public figures and private individuals to be deplatformed and fired for causing offense. In 2018, Kimmel mocked Roseanne Barr after ABC canceled her show after she posted an offensive tweet about a black former Obama administration official. The people decrying what Bondi and Carr said are the same ones who demanded sweeping government censorship of social media platforms in the guise of combating “misinformation” and “hate speech” in 2020 and 2021. Consider Barack Obama, who criticized Carr’s remarks. It was Obama’s people at the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, National Science Foundation, DOD, and CIA who put in place the Censorship Industrial Complex between 2016 and 2024. And it was Obama who gave a 2022 speech at Stanford laying out a vision for government “regulation” of social media platforms one week before DHS launched its “Disinformation Governance Board.” The Democrat-supported Censorship Industrial Complex was and remains, in Europe and elsewhere, a far greater threat to free speech than the angry remarks of Trump and Carr, as inappropriate and as unhelpful as they were. The Complex was embedded in the government, including the Intelligence Community, and operated secretly to manipulate information, public opinion, and “whole narratives.” New York Times columnist David French, who criticized the Trump administration for censorship, defended government censorship in the past as “correcting misinformation” and pointed to the First Amendment rights of government employees. It’s important to remember the context we are in. A little over one week has passed since an individual, who appears to be a Left-wing romantic partner of a trans-identified male, assassinated a major conservative leader, Charlie Kirk. Assassination is the ultimate form of censorship. And Kirk was a communications and organizing prodigy who many on the Right viewed as future Republican presidential material. Kirk’s killing comes after 10 years of the Left, broadly defined to include the media, Democrats, and the progressive NGO industry, dehumanizing Republicans.

Unitree Robotics just filed to go public on March 20th targeting a $7 billion valuation. Most people have no idea what this company actually is. Here is why this might be the most important robotics IPO of the decade. Unitree shipped 5,500 humanoid robots in 2025. Figure AI shipped roughly 150. Agility Robotics shipped roughly 150. Unitree did $246 million in revenue last year, up 335% year over year, and they are actually profitable. Figure AI is valued at $39 billion with near zero revenue and is still private. Unitree wants $7 billion with real numbers. The price point is what separates them from everyone else. Their G1 humanoid sells for $13,500. Competitors charge $50,000 to $130,000. Their newest R1 humanoid launching in April starts at $4,900. Nothing comparable exists at that price anywhere in the world. They hold roughly 32% of the global humanoid market and 70% of the quadruped market. The moat is vertical integration. They self develop over 90% of core components including motors, reducers, controllers, sensors, and all software. Real clients include PetroChina, Sinopec, State Grid, and China Mobile. This is not a research project. Product is shipping at scale. This is listing on China's STAR Market, not Hong Kong, not the US, which makes access extremely difficult for international investors. The risks are real. The US House Select Committee on the CCP has formally requested Unitree be blacklisted. Their robots appeared in PLA military exercises in 2024. Tariffs have already nearly tripled the US price of the G1. $TSLA Optimus is targeting sub $20,000 pricing with automotive scale manufacturing backed by $NVDA compute. If they execute, the price advantage shrinks fast. But this is still the only profitable pure play humanoid robotics company in the world growing at 335% a year, valued at a fraction of its loss making peers. Goldman projects the humanoid market at $38 billion by 2035. Morgan Stanley goes to $5 trillion by 2050. Unitree currently holds the largest market share of any humanoid manufacturer on the planet. Full breakdown coming soon. $TSLA $NVDA

Many people in Zim-dancehall do not want to hear this, but it is a local genre that will not go anywhere unless the artist is extremely talented, like Stonebwoy. This Jamaican aunty in the video is an example of why certain genres of music only make sense when performed by people from where they originated. Picture this aunty at Murambinda Growth point, Mbembesi, or Nkandla in KZN—she is able to deliver the bars because it is their music. They grew up listening to it from day one, and it uses their local language, it is like what Amapiano is to South Africans. How does a Zim-dancehall artist compete with the authentic thing on the global stage? Shabba Ranks once commented on how reggae dancehall has been murdered abroad. It is a bit like Swahili, it was made in Tanzania, killed in Kenya and buried in Uganda-ok, that is an East African joke. But seriously, while Zim-dancehall artists can draw inspiration from various sources and adapt different styles, there is undoubtedly a certain authenticity that comes from growing up immersed in the culture and language that shape a particular music genre. It is difficult for artists from other backgrounds to replicate the genuine connection and understanding that Jamaican artists have with reggae dancehall, given its roots is in their local language and culture. This inherent advantage makes it challenging for Zim-dancehall artists to achieve the same level of success and recognition on the global stage. I must take my hat off to artists like Stoneybwoy and Winky D, who have contributed to the evolution and growth of the dancehall genre by bringing new perspectives and creative ideas to the table in the Ghanian and Zimbabwean contexts respectively. Zim-dancehall artists have carved out a space for themselves within the genre and made a meaningful impact in Zimbabwe, especially those who focus on socio-political issues like Winky D, but international success will always be minimal if not elusive compared to their counterparts in Jamaica where the genre originated. Every genre needs to be international if the artists are going to get enough cheese. Whenever I am in Rwanda or Kenya or Nigeria, Amapiano will blares from car radios, wine bars and clubs, it is because it is authentic to South Africans. There is that one in a hundred artist, like Lucky Dube, Snow, or Alpha Blondy, who will break the mould, but they are outliers. This Jamaican aunty who is a vendor will bury the best we have in a sound clash, it is their music, it is their culture, it is their heritage. So let us dance along to Zim-dancehall, knowing full well that it will remain within the confines of our borders. Until such a time when our Zim-dancehall artists can go and play a show to a non-Zimbabwean audience, they remain local, not international! Zim-dancehall sounds the same way Chimurenga music or Sungura sounds to a Zimbabwean when being sung by a European or American, it doesn’t sound authentic at all outside our borders! Part of dancehall’s authenticity is the language used, Jamaican patois, we speak it like a child is learning to speak bar for a few who have lived in England or Jamaica and have mastered the language.

Trump Supporters Are Pathetic Cucks, And Other Notes The middle east continues to burn under the administration of the self-proclaimed “President of Peace”. Donald Trump says he’s “reinstating” the US blockade on Iranian ports after reportedly green lighting Saudi Arabia to reignite its war on Yemen. Trump and his handlers built a whole political platform out of “no more endless wars” and then immediately changed the Defense Department to the Department of War and started launching never ending wars. Being a Trump supporter in 2026 is like staying best friends with a man who stole your wife. He’s deceived and betrayed you at every turn and you’re still swinging from his nuts? That’s cucky, humiliating behavior. He promised to end the wars, and instead he started a new war. He promised the Iran war would be over in a few weeks, and months later it shows no sign of stopping. He promised to put America first, and instead he’s putting Israel first. He promised to cut government waste, and he’s pouring unfathomable amounts of treasure into the military-industrial complex. He promised to drain the swamp, and he became the single most corrupt president in US history. He promised to fight the deep state, and went on to promote the longstanding agendas of the most evil people in Washington and Langley which even his terrible predecessors had resisted. These are all objective, indisputable facts. If you disagree with any of them, it’s because you’re performing ridiculous mental contortions to justify your groveling support for a man who has betrayed you. It’s so self-debasing. Get up off the floor, pull your tongue back into your head, and have some fucking dignity. ❖ Congressman Randy Fine has been tweeting about how heartbroken he is to lose Lindsey Graham. It really is amazing how all the absolute worst people on earth are grieving this man. Like literally every single one of them. The list of Graham's mourners is a who's who of genocidal psychopaths. ❖ Everyone currently saying “I disagreed with Lindsey Graham on many things, but” is telling you they didn’t actually disagree with Lindsey Graham all that much. “I disliked his politics, but — “ You liked his politics a lot more than I did, that’s for damn sure. That’s why you are sad that he is dead while I am happy. If you’re in any way sad that a 71 year-old warmongering psychopath died, it’s because you didn’t care about his victims. You didn’t care about the populations he was constantly pushing to incinerate with high-tech war machinery. If you did, you wouldn’t feel inclined to mourn the passing of their abuser. If you’re expressing condolences for Lindsey Graham’s death, you’re saying you care more about looking like a kind and caring person than you care about actually being one. ❖ Whenever I read a new report about Israeli prison abuses, I think about how horrifying it would be to be a Palestinian captured alive by the IDF. You know they’re going to torture you. You know they’re going to rape you. Probably over and over again, for months. If you’re a devout Muslim, killing yourself is off the table. You just have to sit there knowing you’re going to be plunged into hell on earth. ❖ When an apartheid state does evil things I will criticize it. Tell me I’m not allowed to criticize the apartheid state and I’ll criticize it even more. Use government power to stomp out criticism of the apartheid state and I’ll make criticism of the apartheid state my full-time job. ❖ Liberal Zionists tell me, “Most Israelis disapprove of Netanyahu!” I tell them, nobody gives a fuck. No one cares which apartheid political party Israelis prefer. Nobody cares which genocidal political leader they’d rather have as their prime minister. Every Israeli faction is evil and is supported by evil people. ❖ It’s funny how they call it “generative artificial intelligence” when it neither generates anything nor exhibits intelligence. It just copies the stuff humans said and did. It doesn’t come up with its own ideas. It shows no signs of insight, understanding or creativity. They keep needing to feed it human-generated material in order to improve it because it’s incapable of generating its own material. We haven’t created artificial intelligence, we’ve created a toy that regurgitates our own intelligence back at us. ❖ Reading by Tim Foley:

Larry Ellison just bet his own company to buy his son a Hollywood empire. And a judge in Oakland could FREEZE the entire thing this afternoon. The deal is Paramount Skydance buying Warner Bros Discovery for about $110 billion, run by David Ellison, Larry's son. It would put two film studios, two streaming platforms, and two news organizations under one family. The problem: Warner's board did not want Paramount. It preferred a Netflix offer and called Paramount's financing illusory. So Larry Ellison put his own money behind his son. He gave an irrevocable guarantee covering $40.4 billion of the equity financing, and promised not to revoke the family trust or move its assets while the deal stayed pending. Paramount then published records to prove the trust holds 1.16 billion Oracle shares. Warner's board reversed and David Ellison won the biggest media merger in Hollywood history using his father's balance sheet as the proof of funds. That was the moment the two companies became one financial object. Because the guarantee is not cash. It is Oracle stock, and Oracle stock has been falling all year... Ellison owns 40.6% of Oracle. The company's crash has erased roughly $213 billion from his fortune and cut the share price by more than half. And Oracle's own filing shows 346 million of his shares were ALREADY pledged against personal debts as of September. He borrowed against the stock, then promised the same stock as backing for a $110 billion acquisition, while the stock was on its way down. Ellison turned Oracle into a hyperscaler by loading it with debt to chase AI data centers. Oracle became a major supplier of AI computing power to China. Job cuts have already been reported. In January, investors who bought $18 billion of Oracle senior notes filed a proposed class action in Manhattan against Ellison, senior executives, and the underwriting banks, over borrowing plans tied to AI that they say were not disclosed. So the debt that built the empire is now being litigated by the people who financed it, while the equity behind the guarantee shrinks. Then the states arrived: On July 13 a coalition of 12 attorneys general led by California sued to block the merger under Section 7 of the Clayton Act. On July 20 Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin issued a 14-day restraining order stopping the deal from closing, writing that the states had shown serious questions going to the merits remain. Paramount says the suit misrepresents competition in an entertainment industry now crowded with streamers. Today at 3pm in Oakland, the same judge hears the states' motion for a preliminary injunction. That is the hearing that matters, because when a judge grants an injunction, companies frequently walk away from the deal rather than fight through a full trial. When a judge denies one, they close within days. Delay is costing Paramount roughly $650 million a quarter, and the company has agreed to keep the deal open as late as June 1, 2027. So one family is holding a $110 billion acquisition open for possibly another 10 months, backed by shares in a company that is spending borrowed money faster than the AI revenue arrives. Larry Ellison spent his career selling databases to governments and betting the company on the next platform shift. He has been right almost every time. This time he pledged the proof of his own success to buy his son a studio, and a courtroom in Oakland decides if it freezes everything or not.

The WW1 Conspiracy With the threat of WW3 due to the conflict between Hamas and Israel escalating to include Iran and the US, now would be a good time to look back at the first world war and what forces really started it... The bankers. As expected. If you found the "All Wars Are Bankers Wars" video insightful and wanted to get more intricate details on how WW1 started, then you will love this documentary from the legend James Corbett. It goes into way more detail on it's beginnings and shows beyond any doubt that it was a massive conspiracy of the richest most powerful people in the world, starting immediately after the creation of the federal reserve in the ultimate pursuit of unified nations across the world under central banking control. Aka the globalism NWO agenda we know of today, still alive and well. Any time a country, like Germany before WW1, starts to grow economically to threaten the greater powers and be free from their reach and surpassing them in power, war is manufactured with orchestrated events to draw the targeted nations into military conflicts to bankrupt the countries and then force them to come back groveling to the central bankers to ask for help and repair of their country. Here is the excerpt from AWABW quickly summarizing what happened. Watch the full Corbett doc below if you want the full story. It's incredibly well researched and high quality. "Although the war started between Austria-Hungary and Serbia , it quickly shifted to focus on Germany, whose industrial capacity was seen as an economic threat to Great Britain, who saw the decline of the British Pound as a result of too much emphasis on financial activity to the neglect of agriculture, industrial development, and infrastructure (not unlike the present day United States). Although pre-war Germany had a private central bank, it was heavily restricted and inflation kept to reasonable levels. Under government control, investment was guaranteed to internal economic development, and Germany was seen as a major power. So, in the media of the day, Germany was portrayed as the prime opponent of World War One, and not just defeated, but its industrial base flattened. Following the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was ordered to pay the war costs of all the participating nations, even though Germany had not actually started the war. This amounted to three times the value of all of Germany itself. Germany's private central bank, to whom Germany had gone deeply into debt to pay the costs of the war, broke free of government control, and massive inflation followed (mostly triggered by currency speculators) , permanently trapping the German people in endless debt."

The WW1 Conspiracy With the threat of WW3 due to the conflict between Hamas and Israel escalating to include Iran and the US, now would be a good time to look back at the first world war and what forces really started it... The bankers. As expected. If you found the "All Wars Are Bankers Wars" video insightful and wanted to get more intricate details on how WW1 started, then you will love this documentary from the legend James Corbett. It goes into way more detail on it's beginnings and shows beyond any doubt that it was a massive conspiracy of the richest most powerful people in the world, starting immediately after the creation of the federal reserve in the ultimate pursuit of unified nations across the world under central banking control.
