ECDO vs. EDC: the geometry seems to like a coupled crust and mantle. The biggest difference between the two theories is what moves during the proposed reorientation. ECDO, as proposed by Ethical Skeptic ☀, has the moving shell extending from the surface down to the core–mantle boundary. EDC, as proposed by SpaceWeatherNews, uses a much shallower shell, roughly 100 km deep, above the low-velocity zone. So, I tested that difference directly. First up: LIPs and LLSVPs. Across every tomography model in the analysis, the alignment held up better when the crust and mantle stayed together. Applying the exact 85º crust-only correction made the fit worse. Then, I checked five major hotspot tracks. Same story. The hotspot trails were best preserved without a large independent crustal rotation, and even letting the Euler pole wander around the globe could not rescue an 85º crust-only shift. At this point, the geometry is being pretty stubborn: the crust wants to stay with the mantle. That is strong evidence against the exact shallow shell geometry tested here. It supports preservation of crust–mantle coupling during any large reorientation. One caveat: a brief out and back excursion could restore the original alignment. That version would need to be tested using records formed during the temporary displaced interval. Apparently, the theory found another level.

"[Ethical Skeptic]...says the current run rate of excess deaths from the [Covid] vaccine [is] probably 3 to 5,000 a week. In the U.S. that's 200,000 individuals a year...But you can't...bring up the conversation with some...family members because...they don't even want to know." This clip of former BlackRock fund manager and founder of Phinance Technologies Edward Dowd (Edward Dowd) is from an interview segment with Commodity Culture (Jesse Day) posted to Rumble on July 4, 2025. Note that Dowd is referencing Ethical Skeptic (Ethical Skeptic ☀), who is a managing partner/CEO and former US Naval Officer with the Office of Naval Intelligence specializing in corporate and national strategy systems science and engineering. Ethical Skeptic has done deep research into many key matters related to Covid, including the carnage caused by the Covid injections. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "So, you know, our work has suggested that the vaccines cause death, disability, and injury and we don't know the medium-term effects. We stopped doing research in this area at the beginning of this year because we did a lot for free. And you know, free doesn't pay the bills. But one of my friends on X, Ethical Skeptic who is a very smart man who does consulting and knows how systems work, he says the current run rate of excess deaths from the vaccine are probably 3 to 5,000 a week. In the US that's 200,000 individuals a year. The disabilities are 4x that, the injuries are 10 to 15x that. "There's a lot of, there's a lot of them and they're being suppressed and that continues. And so there's a lot already there's a lot of converts that have figured out that this is garbage. But you're right, there seems to be this cognitive disconnect where people don't want to admit that they've made a huge mistake and they don't want to talk about it. "I mean, anecdotally we've all met people who, you know, someone died mysteriously, at a very, you know, non. I mean anywhere between 30 and 50, someone dies just, you know, without any reason. That didn't used to happen before these vaccines. I mean it happened, but it was so rare. So these unexpected deaths, you know, if you know, you know. But you can't even bring up the conversation with some of the family members because that would just. They don't even want to know. They just don't even want to know. So it's cognitive disconnect still."

MIND-BLOWING🤯 Systems engineer and author Roger Cunningham explains how a cataclysmic event caused global oceanic displacement ~7,000 years ago, inundating the Pyramids of Giza, which are actually "warning indicators" for future civilizations that the cataclysm will happen again In this clip from a UK Column (UK Column) interview with Jerm Warfare, Cunningham (Ethical Skeptic ☀) describes ECDO Theory (Exothermic Core-Mantle Decoupling – Dzhanibekov Oscillation), which is a hypothesis proposed by Cunningham that explains periodic catastrophic Earth changes through internal geophysical processes. The theory summarized, per Grok: "In simple terms: The Earth's solid iron-nickel core periodically undergoes exothermic (heat-releasing) phase changes in its crystal structure. This heat rises through the mantle into the oceans (contributing to climate shifts and deep-ocean warming), while also weakening the geomagnetic field that normally 'locks' the outer shell (crust + mantle) to the spinning core. "Once the magnetic grip weakens enough, the outer shell can decouple and rapidly reorient relative to the spin axis in a Dzhanibekov-like flip (the tennis-racket theorem effect seen in spinning objects). This causes a true polar wander of roughly 104° along a specific meridian, shifting the geographic poles, sloshing oceans to create global floods, realigning ancient monuments to a former pole position (e.g., in southern Africa), and triggering cataclysms recorded in myths and geology. The system then oscillates back to its current stable state once the core regenerates. "The theory unifies evidence from climate anomalies, ancient site alignments, paleomagnetic data, and flood legends into one cyclic mechanism, with implications for past civilization resets and potential future events." ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- Cunningham: "I wouldn't call Charles Hapgood's notion a theory because it didn't have the elements of hypothesis in it. But it's a cool idea. It's an excellent construct. And that's where you start when you develop hypotheses. You start with a construct. "He said that the outside body of the Earth, like the skin of an orange, rotates independently and presents a new surface to the North Star. His sighting was that caused the inundations. So that was the first thinking, really, that's centered around this type of idea. "What ECDO theory postulates is that this decoupling, instead of happening at the crust, where there really isn't a mechanism to decouple, and that really has been one of the things that's kept the theory squelched, is there's no viable mechanism there, the viable mechanism does exist at the core–mantle boundary. "In fact, it suggests that this is an absolutely stark potential, if you look at the core–mantle boundary, that's what ECDO proposes, that particular situation in the core–mantle boundary causes this outer rotational body to do an inertial interchange True Polar Wander. "A portion of that wander was smooth and gentle, within reason. I'm sure the oceans were a little more energetic, but a portion of it during the capture by an inverted geomagnetic pole, in other words, the magnetic pole's north pole was down in Antarctica when it was captured by that when our outer magnetite structure of the crust was captured by that pole, it was pulled into location very rapidly, and that's what precipitated these oceans to come up out of their banks. "It did exactly what the Gong Gong historians said. They said that the sky rolled from the southeast to the northwest. And that's exactly what the ECDO rotation presupposes. And we developed the rotation based on the geomechanics first. We didn't look at the myths. And then we went out and took that geo- rotation and said, okay, let's compare this rotation to the myths that are out there that are informative, like the Epic of Gilgamesh, like the Gong Gong theory, or the Gong Gong tradition. And in fact, they matched in the geostrata the location of the saline diatomaceous deserts that have aridified across the planet. They all match this ECDO rotation. "And that's what the six or eight modeling groups that are working on ECDO now, they're finding, unequivocally, a good match to the Earth's deserts, to this, this inundation and rotation." Jerm: "So that would have been quite a quick event?" Cunningham: "A portion of it, the capture. Right now, as we understand the differential inertial moments in the Earth, they're not large enough to cause a 12-hour or 18-hour rotation of the Earth in this— into this new position. However, if we introduce an inverted geomagnetic pole, the geomagnetic pole captures the Earth's shell and brings it into alignment with wherever it is. "Once the north magnetic pole makes its journey across Asia, the central body of Asia, and then through the Bay of Bengal and down into Antarctica below Africa, it reinvigorates, it re-strengthens its, its permeability or its polarity and captures the Earth's body. Except now the Earth instead of pointing toward our north that we recognize today, it has to point the other direction. "And if it's already undergone this decoupling, this Dzhanibekov rotation is now somewhere wandering slowly in the North Pole would be in Southern Africa. Once the geomagnetic pole captures that Earth body, it'll snap it into its final position. And ECDO postulates that that snap, that final phase, is what indeed precipitated this high-energy displacement of the oceans." Jerm: "And thus the pyramids ended up underwater." Cunningham: "Correct. When we're in state two, most of the modelers right now they're modeling the viscosity of the mantle, they're modeling the ablate redistribution of the oceans, they're modeling the progression function for each of those. "In other words, none of that happens— Most of that doesn't happen immediately, the oceans do. They model the speed and the arrival of that, that turn, that Dzhanibekov turn. Most of them are finding that the height of the ocean about— in state two, our alternative rotation, equates just about that 597-foot-above-sea-level elevation that put the tidal banding mark on the Chephren pyramid. "So it's a very pleasing set of outcomes in the models so far. We got a long way to go on them, but the modelers are just doing absolute gangbuster work." Jerm: "Yeah, I mean so basically just the tips of the pyramids were sticking out?" Cunningham: "Yeah, both of them had their tips sticking out. I don't think that their construction at that level was an accident. I think the ancients wanted to tell us we know exactly how high the water's going to go. "This has happened so often and has been so consistent, we know how high the water is going to be. So we're going to build a device or set of devices that both tell you what we were looking at, and the three chambers inside Khufu tell you exactly what they were looking at. And we're going to give you these warning indicators that show the height of the flood, so that ancients know, and this agency that keeps us ignorant, there's no way they can unstack these 5 million stones in their effort to get rid of this. "In fact, I don't think they really understood. Most of their minions did not understand what had occurred, what these marks on top of the Chephren pyramid indicate, and fortunately so, or they would have cleaned up all of that. They would have removed those stones in short order had they known that this was indicative of a state 2 under ECDO theory title band."

This paper is describing something which sounds remarkably similar to an ECDO state 2 to state 1 rotation a half a billion years ago. Excerpts from Evidence for a Large-Scale Reorganization of Early Cambrian Continental Masses by Inertial Interchange True Polar Wander, Kirschvink et al. (1997): "..at least two tectonic plates, involving more than two-thirds of Earth's continental lithosphere, were involved in a rapid rotation of ~90° relative to the spin axis. We speculate that the entire lithosphere may have been involved in this rotation. // The new ages, along with paleomagnetic data, indicate that continents moved at rapid rates that are difficult to reconcile with our present understanding of mantle dynamics. // The pole for this sequence is >80° away from the Vendian-Early Cambrian poles, implying that Australia underwent a large rotation while remaining near the equator sometime between Tommotian and Late Cambrian time. // Australia rotated counterclockwise during this time. // Antarctica, India, Africa, South America, and perhaps parts of East Asia also rotated with Australia. // True polar wander (TPW) is the process through which quasi-rigid spheroids align their maximum moments of inertia with the spin axis, pushing positive mass anomalies toward the rotational equator. // A variant of this mechanism, inertial interchange true polar wander (IITPW), involves discrete bursts of TPW of up to 90° in geologically short intervals of time if the magnitudes of the intermediate and maximum moments of inertia cross. This would result in a rapid movement away from the spin axis by the geographic location of the former pole with rotation of the entire solid Earth centered about the minimum moment of inertia located on the equator. // These two poles, with their stated polarity interpretation, are separated by about 68°; together they yield a plausible tropical position for Siberia, nearly on the opposite side of the globe from Australia. // If the velocities are due to TPW, however, such geodynamical considerations are obviated because the entire mantle would have rotated along with the lithosphere."

.Breitbart News’s Nick Nick Gilbertson: “Do you think Democrats are genuine in their focus on affordability, especially after they delivered 40 year high inflation last time they were in power? And then — or do you think they’re using it or focusing on it as a means to try and win midterms and begin the impeachment process?” President Trump: “Yeah. The second. Look, the Democrats had the highest inflation in the history of our country 48 years, they say — but the history of our country. They had the highest inflation that we’ve ever had. When I inherited it, I inherited very high prices. And from day one, they said affordability. Affordability is a word because they’re good at that. They’re good at words. But I’m good at words too. But they hit me with affordability. I’d just gotten there. They hit me with eggs. We had a news conference on my third day and they said, egg prices are through the roof. I said, I just got here, tell me about eggs. And we got the prices down, way down, actually lower than it was four years before. But we’ve gotten everything. The thing that we have now — the only thing that’s really of great concern, two things. Beef is coming down. And the reason is they put restrictions on beef under the Biden administration, and it takes a while to settle that. But prices are down. But the big thing is, of course, energy. We had the energy way down, but I had to do a journey to Iran. I had to say, you know, we just hit the best markets. By the way, the stock market today is at the highest it’s ever been. And we’ve had 59 of them. 59 days out of a very short period of time where the stock market hit all time highs. So, we have an all time high stock market. We have all time high job numbers. We have 401(k)s just hit the highest number they’ve ever been. So many of you have 401(k)s. That means you’re richer than you’ve ever been. And we’re doing really well. But they — they came up with this word affordability. But it’s them that caused the problem. And they use that word — Senator, Senator, they use that word right from the beginning. I was in one day and I heard somebody on television say affordability, and I inherited this mess from them. But we’ve got it in great shape. The country is doing well. We’re respected all over the world. This country is respected. The hottest country. We’re a dead country two years ago and now we’re the hottest country anywhere in the world. So, I think most of you appreciate that. Some of you don’t.”

HALF A MILLION PEOPLE WERE DEFRAUDED Imagine you are behind on your store card payments. You are already struggling. Then the bank quietly adds an extra charge on top of what you owe. Not because it costs them that much. Just because .. they can. And because they think nobody is watching. Someone was watching. Nicholas Wilson was a debt recovery lawyer. He goes by Mr Ethical Mr Ethical 🚩 on X. His old boss meant it as an insult. In 2003 he noticed that HSBC subsidiary HFC Bank was adding an illegal 16.4% charge onto the debts of people who were already in financial trouble. Store cards from John Lewis, Currys, B&Q, Dixons, PC World. Ordinary people. Struggling people. Being quietly robbed. He told his boss it was illegal. His boss started calling him "Mr Ethical" as a joke. Then they sacked him. He reported it to the regulators. Financial Conduct Authority ignored him for years. When a researcher separately wrote to both HSBC and the FCA asking about the fraud... ... both wrote back with responses in the exact same wording, same punctuation, same paragraphs. The bank and the regulator were sharing the same script. FCA's own independent Complaints Commissioner eventually investigated. He called it the worst case of regulatory failure he had ever dealt with. FCA's response was to appoint Ruth Kelly, an HSBC director, and Baroness Hogg from John Lewis, onto its own board. The two people they were supposed to be investigating were now sitting inside the regulator. You actually cannot make this up. After 13 years of Wilson refusing to go away, HSBC quietly agreed to pay some money back. FCA announced 6,700 victims. Wilson says the real number is closer to 500,000. HSBC has now set aside £223 million for repayments. No fine. No criminal charges. No one went to prison. No one was even publicly named. Wilson has spent the last 20 years unemployable. Blacklisted. Living on state benefits. Fighting to keep his home. Someone even anonymously reported him to the DWP for benefit fraud while the actual billion pound fraud went unpunished. The bank that robbed half a million people kept its licence. The man who caught them lost everything.

WATCH: Very newsy exchange at the White House Tuesday afternoon between President Trump and CBS’s Ed O'Keefe about Iran, revealing the U.S. was gifted “a present” from whatever remains of the new/old Iranian regime that is “oil and gas related”.... President Trump: “Do you have another question? You haven’t been here in a while.” O’Keefe: “Well, on Iran, can you give us any more sense of who exactly in Iran it is, either Witkoff or Kushner you’re speaking with?” Trump: “Yeah. We had — I hate to say this in front of these young people — they’re not children. I spoke to most of them. They sound like adults to me. Even though they are sort of children, right? They’ll always be your children. But I hate to say it, but we killed all their leadership. And then they met to choose new leaders, and we killed all of them. And now, we have a new group and we can easily do that. But let’s see how they turn out. It’s — we have, really, regime change. You know, this is a change in the regime because the leaders are all very different than the ones that we started off with that created all those problems. So this was — I think we can say, Jason, this is regime change, right?” O’Keefe: “What makes you trust them?” Trump: “I don’t trust anybody. I don’t trust you. I mean, that’s only because I know you, but if I didn’t know you, I’d probably have more trust. But I don’t trust anyone.” O’Keefe: “Why bother talking to them?” Trump: “Why do you — why do you say that? Why do you say what makes you — do you think I trust them? I don’t trust them.” O’Keefe: “Then why bother talking to them?” Trump: “Because they’re going to make a deal. They’re going to make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing. Actually. They gave us a present. And the president arrived today and it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. And I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize. And they gave it to us, and they said they were going to give it, so that meant one thing to me. We’re dealing with the right people —” O’Keefe: “Was it nuclear related.” Trump: “No, it wasn’t nuclear related. It was oil and gas related. And it was a very nice thing they did. But what it showed me is that we’re dealing with the right people because, you know, you don’t know because the leadership was killed, all gone. Khamenei, all gone. As the expression goes, the past Supreme Leader and then the new Supreme Leader was racked up at a minimum, racked up pretty good, and everyone else was gone. And then many of the people in the third tier are gone. But we’re dealing with a group of people that I think turn out and the — the present, the gift they made to us was very significant. And they said they were going to do it and it happened. And they’re the only ones that could have done it.”

Ben Horowitz tells the story of Slack’s pivot from a failed gaming app into a $28 billion company Ben recalls investing in Stewart Butterfield’s new company Tiny Speck. In 2001, Stewart began building an online game, pivoted into Flickr, and the company was acquired by Yahoo in 2005 for $25 million. In early 2009, Stewart decided he wanted to try building the online game again. This time, it would be called Glitch. Ben tells the story: “And so he builds Glitch. I love Glitch - it was a marvelous game. But it had two major problems. One, he started it in 2006 and built on Flash before Steve Jobs declared war on Flash. So it wasn’t going to work on the iPhone. And then the other problem was people would finish the game in two days, and so that’s not very good for retention.” After raising more than $15 million to build Glitch, Stewart called Ben to tell his investor that they only had $6 million left: “Ben, I’ve got $6 million left. I have no way to raise money because I’ve made really no progress because of these issues. It’s going to cost me more than $6 million to finish the game. So I’ve got three choices. I can pray for rain and try and finish it. I can shut down the company and give you your $6 million back. Or we build this tool that we use in our engineering team to communicate with each other and make engineering work a little better, and I could just put that out as a product.” Ben replies: “What? You just like built some tool to talk to each other and you want to put that out as a product? And you’re a consumer guy and you want to become an enterprise software guy?” Stewart says, “Yeah, I think it’d be a pretty good idea.” And so Ben said, “$6 million isn’t going to make a big difference in my life. If you really think it’s a good idea and you want to do that, go ahead.” Stewart decided to call the new product Slack, and it soon became the fastest growing enterprise software company of all time before SalesForce acquired it for $27.7 billion in July 2021. Ben points out an important lesson here: “A lot of the process is do you have a secret? Do you know something that nobody else knows? And because [Stewart] was pulling his hair out, literally smoking 8 packs of cigarettes a day, trying to get Glitch out the door, he was doing everything to optimize that development, and so he learned where software development was suboptimal… And that’s a really big key. You have to do something really hard if you want to learn something about the world that nobody else knows or is acting on. That’s when you have a breakthrough. But it starts with hard work.” Video source: UC Berkeley SCET (2020)

Bricks and Minifigs: This story is extremely disturbing showcasing not only the corruption within the Utah police department but as well as the unlawful activity going on within Multi million dollar corporations. Bricks and Minifigs allegedly stole $200,000 worth of Star Wars LEGO sets from an innocent family. The family then called upon their last hope, “RecklessBen” on YouTube. Ben promised to do everything he could to help, including serving the owners, taking them to court, getting them to admit their wrongdoings, and much more. He actually won a case in small claims court, but Bricks and Minifigs still refused to return the LEGO sets or pay RecklessBen the money awarded through the lawsuit. Instead, they decided to shut down the entire LEGO store to avoid Ben at all costs, claiming he was harassing them and spreading false information. However, Ben had evidence prepared and available, which ultimately contributed to his victory in court and in the media. Ben then decided to publicly host a closing ceremony for Bricks and Minifigs which gained significant attention. The media caught on, and Bricks and Minifigs responded by disabling comments across their platforms. They also reportedly sent an email to employees throughout the country explaining how to respond to questions regarding the controversy and alleged corruption. That email was later leaked by an insider employee. Furthermore, Ben decided to file another lawsuit. Before doing so, however, he was required to attempt to settle the matter outside of court. Ben traveled to Utah to visit one of the owners of Bricks and Minifigs, “Joshua Johnson.” While attempting to settle the dispute, Ben noticed Johnson speaking on the phone. Suddenly, three separate police vehicles arrived at the property. The officers followed Ben and his driver, pulled them over, and accused them of running a stop sign. However, video footage later obtained by Ben from the police department allegedly showed otherwise, suggesting the traffic stop was unjustified. The police appeared to know exactly who RecklessBen was. Eventually, they let him go, but later showed up at either his home or Airbnb. Ben never received a clear explanation as to why they were there, leading the media to believe it was an act of intimidation. With no other options, RecklessBen visited another owner, “Brandon Best,” who was reportedly involved in the removal of the original store owner and the alleged theft of the $200,000 worth of Star Wars LEGO sets. Ben asked whether Brandon intended to pay the court ordered judgment. Predictably, Brandon did not wish to speak. Instead, he contacted the police. Once again, officers appeared dismissive of Ben’s claims and unwilling to consider the information he presented. In the end, Ben was able to document that he had made a genuine effort to settle the dispute in person, which satisfied the court’s requirements and allowed the lawsuit to proceed. Later, Ben discovered that both Brandon and Joshua were members of the Mormon faith. Within Mormon teachings, theft is considered morally wrong. This detail becomes relevant later in the story. Eventually, Ben and his driver began heading home from where ever off, when they were once again pulled over by Utah police. Officers spent hours searching their vehicle for alleged illegal substances such as heroin. They also attempted to pressure the driver into admitting he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The driver repeatedly denied these accusations and remained cooperative throughout the encounter. Eventually, they were released. Ben later obtained dashcam footage, but noticed that portions of the officers’ audio had been redacted. This raised concerns for him regarding transparency within the department. Ben questioned why those conversations needed to be removed and whether officers were searching for any possible reason to arrest him or his crew. Part two coming soon.. #erudition

The North Star (Polaris) is always at the top of the Earth's axis of rotation, but that doesn't mean it's always been above the Arctic. When the Earth's geomagnetic field weakens, that indicates that the axis of rotation will flip so that Polaris switches from over the Arctic to over the Rift Valley in Africa. The consequences for human habitat are catastrophic, because the change in axis of rotation happens so fast (days) that the Earth's crust moves out from under the Earth's oceans. Low lying areas can become inundated with water for centuries, as the oceans adjust to the new rotation. This switch happens every 6400-6500 years (or so). How do we know? The great monuments of mankind that date to a period more than 6400 years ago are all aligned to a Polaris above the Rift Valley. They point to the North Star as their builders observed it during their lifetimes -- over Africa, not the Arctic. The next axis flip will be presaged by a rapid movement and weakening of the Earth's geomagnetic field, which is exactly what is observed right now. Now you're probably saying "That's some tin foil hat BS that Seager probably picked up from the Danny Jones Podcast podcast!" But you didn't spend all day with Ethical Skeptic ☀ quizzing him on his data, did you?

"There was some pretty intense stuff about lifeforms, what they were doing." ~TB 💥 If Trump Waives Eric Davis' NDAs, Is This Some of What We Can Expect to Hear? 💥 (I may not be first with these clips but I try to include info. that you won't get anywhere else.) If that information about lifeforms, and what they were doing, was accurate, it's the type of information the world deserves to know. Was it Dr. Eric Davis who briefed him/them on that? I have a sneaking suspicion that it was, and I have NOT asked Davis about this.) "All these rumors that you hear...just the wild, crazy stuff, some of that stuff now I'm being briefed on and people are telling me...actually has occurred." ~TB ~ Sean Hannity 🇺🇸: "If I knew what you knew, I would not be able to sleep at night." Rep. Tim Burchett Press Office (TB): "Yeah, I was briefed in a situation, and they got into some pretty intense stuff." Hannity: "Can I ask who briefed you?" Burchett: "You can ask but I can't tell." (Again: My Guess: Dr. Eric Davis. I could be wrong, but it makes a lot of sense to me. Here's why... This is a message from Davis to me, from January... Why Won't Davis Share What He Know with Congress? Davis: "I already shared my information in a Pentagon SCIF with the SASC staff in Oct. 2019 and in a controlled access conference room in a Senate office building with the SSCI staff in Oct. 2019 and at a defense company’s controlled access room in June 2021. "Then I shared it with Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's committee in a House of Representatives office building SCIF last May. (Burchett is part of that committee, and that's one reason why I feel like Davis is the one Burchett is referring to when he says someone briefed him on some intense stuff.) Davis: "So the 'Why won’t he?' has already been answered." Murgia: "So what changes if a President waives your NDAs?" Davis: "If the POTUS were to waive my NDAs, I could share everything I know with the public." (PUBLIC!) ~~~ Hannity: "Have you ever told Donald Trump about all the obstacles they're throwing in your face?" Burchett: "No, I haven't. As a matter of fact, I had a discussion with somebody last week. They said, you need to have lunch with [Trump]. It's very difficult to get, you know, he's, right now, of course, things going on all over the world." Hannity: "But you're also saying, on the other hand, on a need-to-know basis. And that means the President's not on a need-to-know basis? Our duly-elected president, information is being withheld from him?" Burchett: "I believe so. I was told that, even. Yeah, in the SCIF, this one time, where they asked me, where you're quoting, I mean, there was some pretty intense stuff about lifeforms, what they were doing. And different..." Hannity: "Lifeforms alive here? Lifeforms dead here?" Burchett: "Possibly. Both. Both." Hennity: "And vehicles that have been recovered here?" Burchett: "Yeah, and some that have possibly come here, and not in a crash-type setting (laughs). We had an individual that gave..." (Again, this feels like Davis was the guy briefing them. He has spoken about crashed AND landed craft, including the alleged Holloman AFB landing-and-meeting event.) Burchett: "And this was interesting about the whole thing was because, there's all the folks in there, and there's different groups of people, and Rep. Eric Burlison's a dear friend of mine. Because in the beginning, he was a big skeptic (According to Burlison, he still IS a skeptic. ~Joe), you know? And I asked him to join us in some of this stuff because I needed somebody that just wasn't like me, that just had been..." Hannity: "Skepticism's healthy." Burlison: "It's very healthy. I mean, you know...but a lot of people that were skeptics. But we were in this one meeting in a secure environment, and a member came in who is not really friendly to the cause. And really was a disrupter and started asking questions. And the person who was briefing us named names, dates, times, places, events, people." (That sounds exactly like the meticulous, and detail-orientated, Dr. Eric Davis. 😎 ) Burchett: "Because I'd asked a question about Jimmy Carter. There was talk, I just threw it out there, that Carter... I didn't like his politics, but I don't question his faith." (Sad that Burchett even feels the need to mention Carter's politics.) Burchett: "And they said that [Carter] was briefed at one time and became physically upset with the information that he was given." Hannity: "Of course he did." (This seemed like snide remark from Hannity, as in, Carter wasn't a real man and he couldn't handle information like that without getting upset. Cheap shot, but that's Hannity.) Burchett: "Yeah, but he had actually seen a UFO, it's a documented thing. And this person that was briefing us gave the date of that meeting and he gave the receipts. He said, 'You can go to the Carter library,' and he gave the date. and said... And there was, I think four people in the meeting (with Carter), and they listed three of them, and one of them, they weren't sure who it was. So it was probably, you know, CIA or something. And it ended up upsetting [Carter] so much that they pretty much had to clear his calendar for a while. But what is that?" (Again, that sounds like a Davis briefing.) Burchett: "And the thing is, everything that I've...all these rumors that you hear in the movies, in the books and the magazines that I read growing up, just the wild, crazy stuff, some of that stuff now I'm being briefed on and people are telling me that this is actually has occurred. And that, to me, is, I wonder, is this stuff being planted? Is it being pushed out, so that we gradually get a hold of it?" (Hopefully, we get to hear what Burchett and the others heard so we can judge the veracity of it and see if we can somehow confirm any of it.)

"X is a shit show" "X is for Nazis" "X is all about Elon Musk" "X is too noisy" "X's algorithm sucks" How many of you have heard stuff like that? I do, especially when I go to other social media sites, like Threads, which just passed X in total users. I find attitudes like that uninformed, but what stopped an uninformed person from writing something on the Internet? Nothing. But since I jumped over to Threads today and got another eye full of that kind of stuff. So I mostly wanted to say thank you to the community of tens of thousands of people in tech that I follow, and show you what my screens look like today. If you turn on audio on the video here, you'll hear me talk through each of my lists. I use X Pro and lists. And by using them I find even my For You feed gets better. Much better, in fact. Why? Because if you engage on the REAL X, which you can only see on X Pro with lists, the algorithm figures out the kinds of things that catch your eye and looks for more. Also, by following lists you give the algorithm VERY IMPORTANT signal and a lot more things to choose from. Even if you just follow my feeds and never use them, your For You feed will get better BECAUSE you gave the algorithm more signal about what you want to see. If I see a brilliant person, or a new company, I put them on my lists. If I see someone go political all the time I remove them from my lists, or, maybe put them on my news lists if they are posting an interesting point of view that I would want to watch over time. These are the most complete lists in tech industry here on X, by far. I read through a LOT of lists: https:// ts And here is how I have my lists laid out in X Pro. If you are in the AI industry and you aren't following all my AI lists you are hurting yourself and ignoring many thousands of hours of work I've put into them over 18 years of being here on this service. I can only do this on X. The companies, for instance, aren't on the other services, and the AI research and development community here is stronger and more educational than they are on other services. And, because of Grok integration here, X is a far better learning platform. If I see a scientist sharing something I don't understand I click the Grok button and it teaches me a lot more. Thank you. And, yes, there are many other "X's" that I don't see. Sports, being one. I focus only on tech and educated people and my lists show that X is the best place for science, technology, and nerdy news. One last thing: the algorithm will, in about a month, radically change to be totally AI driven. When that happens X will radically change and lists will become even more important as a source of signal. If you want a better X, here's the key. Love!

🚨🎙️Ben Foster on Why Jordan Henderson Could Be Exactly What Chelsea Need Ben Foster: “Do you remember when we played Liverpool at Vicarage Road?” Co-host: “Yeah.” Ben Foster: “There was one player in particular who stood out more than anybody else on that pitch. Liverpool beat us comfortably, I think it was 5-0 or 3-0, but the scoreline wasn’t even the thing that stayed with me. It was Jordan Henderson. Honestly, every single one of us came off that pitch saying exactly the same thing: ‘Wow, he’s so important to that team.’ You could feel his presence everywhere.” Co-host: “He was like an on-field manager.” Ben Foster: “Exactly. And that’s the thing people don’t always see when they’re watching on TV. They see the passes, the running, the tackles, but they don’t see the constant communication. He had so much quality, but his leadership was on another level entirely.” Co-host: “Even players like Mané and Salah were looking at him for information. You could see them turning to him for instructions, guidance, reassurance. It was like he was the heartbeat of the entire team.” Ben Foster: “That’s what blew me away. We’re talking about some of the best players in world football, and even they trusted Henderson’s voice. Every few seconds he was pointing, directing, organising, demanding more. To see it firsthand at the highest level was incredible.” Co-host: “At the very top level.” Ben Foster: “The absolute top level. And afterwards in the dressing room, every one of us was talking about him. We weren’t talking about Salah’s goals or Mané’s pace. We were talking about Henderson. That’s how much influence he had over that Liverpool side.” Co-host: “You could tell the players would run through a brick wall for him.” Ben Foster: “Without a doubt. If Henderson told them to push harder, they pushed harder. If he told them to stay calm, they stayed calm. If he told them to jump, they’d ask how high. That’s genuine leadership. That’s something you can’t teach.” Co-host: “And that’s why so many managers value him.” Ben Foster: “Exactly. In modern football, everybody talks about tactics, systems and technical ability, but dressing rooms still need leaders. They still need characters who can hold standards, keep players accountable and drive the group forward when things get difficult.” Co-host: “Which is probably why clubs keep looking at him despite his age.” Ben Foster: “One hundred percent. And if you ask me, that’s exactly why I think he’d be a fantastic addition for Chelsea. They’ve got talent everywhere you look. Young, exciting players with massive potential. But sometimes what takes a talented squad to the next level is having that experienced voice in the dressing room every single day.” Co-host: “Someone who sets the standards.” Ben Foster: “Exactly. Someone who demands excellence in training, someone who isn’t afraid to speak up when things aren’t right, someone who has won the biggest trophies and knows what it takes to get over the line. Henderson brings all of that.” Co-host: “You think that’s why Xabi Alonso was so keen on him as well?” Ben Foster: “Absolutely. Managers like Xabi Alonso understand that football isn’t just played with your feet, it’s played with your mentality. Henderson gives you leadership, professionalism, organisation and belief. Those qualities spread through a squad. That’s why I can completely understand why Alonso would go all in for him. Players like that are rare. They make everyone around them better.” Co-host: “So for Chelsea, it would be about more than just what he does on the pitch?” Ben Foster: “Much more. It’s about culture. It’s about mentality. It’s about helping young players understand what elite standards look like every single day. That’s what Jordan Henderson brings, and that’s why every manager who has worked with him speaks so highly of him. You don’t replace that easily.” (THE FOZCAST)

If there’s one person who understands the strategic reality on the ground in Europe, it’s General Ben Hodges. He spent years commanding U.S. Army Europe. He knows exactly how the Kremlin operates. In this latest interview with LBC, the General doesn't pull any punches. He lays out the cold, hard truth: while Trump is playing political games and taking two-hour coaching calls from putin, Ukraine is fighting for its life—and for the security of the entire West. Hodges cuts right through the 'peace deal' noise to show how the current US administration is effectively carrying water for the Kremlin by pushing a narrative of Russian 'inevitability.' This is the voice of reiason we should be listening to before the Trump administration sells out Ukraine.. LBC Presenter: Ben, your reaction to what we've heard from President Trump over the last few hours? Ben Hodges: Well, unfortunately, it's clearer now than ever before that President Trump is unfortunately taking the side of the Kremlin. I mean, to have a two-hour phone call with vladimir putin before you go into a meeting with President Zelenskyy—of course, that gave putin the opportunity to give the President all of the talking points, which the President then used during the meeting and during the press conference. It's just... it was embarrassing. I think it was probably his worst performance in a long list. But to hear the President of the United States basically carry water for the Kremlin by talking about the "inevitability" of a Russian victory, and "why not just have a deal now so you don't lose it later"—that reinforces putin’s main narrative. And then, worst of all, was the false equivalency of "Russia's attacks on Ukraine" and "Ukraine's attacks on Russia." I mean, Russia is attacking civilian infrastructure—apartment buildings, hospitals, the energy grid. Ukraine is attacking oil and gas, and military targets. There is no equivalency there. And then the final thing that I thought was just so galling was the President saying, "Well, you know, if we have a ceasefire, it would be very difficult for putin to start his military back up again." He was actually expressing sympathy for the challenge the Kremlin would have in restarting their military operations. LBC Presenter: And also saying that he "thinks putin wants what's best for Ukraine"—which I imagine will go down like a bucket of cold sick in Kyiv.
