Left home at 7:15 AM to catch the 9:00 AM Vande Bharat from Banihal. At 7:30 AM we were stopped by CRPF personnel and told, You can’t go ahead. I requested them, Sir, we have a train to catch. The reply was That’s none of our concern. We turned back. Tried another route. Stopped again. Then our local cab driver started navigating through narrow village roads of Verinag because every normal route was blocked. Only because he knew the area, we somehow reached Lower Munda around 8:20 AM. Even near Jawahar Tunnel we were stopped again before finally being allowed through after explaining our situation. A journey that normally takes 10–15 minutes turned into an exhausting 1.5-hour ordeal. We somehow reached Banihal station at 8:50 AM. Had it not been for the driver’s presence of mind, we would have missed the train. Now I want answers. Are these roads ours too or only for a select few? Don’t we pay taxes? Don’t we live here? Don’t we deserve dignity and respect? Does an ordinary citizen’s time have no value? If we had missed the train, who would have taken responsibility? Why should common people suffer? Why are citizens treated like an inconvenience in their own homeland? Why is there no proper coordination so that emergency travel and public transport are not disrupted? This isn’t just about one train. It’s about the daily humiliation faced by ordinary people. Development is not just building roads, it is allowing citizens to use them with dignity. Kudos to the cab driver, who refused to give up and did everything possible to get us there on time. Without him we would have been stranded. Watch this video to see the route we took and tell me, does this look acceptable in 2026?

OpenAI is falling apart right now. 9 of their most important leaders have left the company recently, and Altman is about to ask the public to buy the stock. 2 of them even walked out within 72 hours of OpenAI handing its own staff $7 billion in cash... On Monday, August 10, OpenAI completed a deal letting current and former employees sell roughly $7 billion worth of their shares. The price valued the company at $852 billion, the exact same number as its March funding round. On Tuesday, August 11, Brad Lightcap announced he was leaving after 8 years. He spent 4 of them as chief financial officer, then ran the company as chief operating officer from 2022 until April. He worked alongside Sam Altman at Y Combinator before OpenAI existed. On Thursday, August 13, chief revenue officer Denise Dresser announced she was leaving. She was hired in December from Salesforce, where she had been the CEO of Slack. In April she took over most of Lightcap's responsibilities. She lasted 8 months. The cash window opened Monday. By Thursday both executives who ran the business side were gone. But what's interesting is who actually wrote the $7 billion cheque: Every previous time OpenAI let its employees cash out, an outside investor bought the shares. In October, Thrive Capital, SoftBank and others put up $6.6 billion at a valuation near $500 billion. There was a $1.5 billion version of the same deal in 2024. This time OpenAI bought the shares back itself, using its OWN money. So no outside investor put a single dollar behind that $852 billion price. The company named its own number and then paid it. This is a business generating around $2 billion a month while losing roughly $1.22 for every single dollar it earns. And it just spent $7 billion of that cash buying its own stock at a number no third party ever tested. Here is the full list of the people who left since April: - Bill Peebles, who ran the Sora video app - Kevin Weil, vice president of OpenAI for Science - Srinivas Narayanan, technology chief of B2B applications - Kate Rouch, chief marketing officer - Josh Achiam, chief futurist, after nearly nine years - Johannes Heidecke, head of Safety Systems - Chloe Bakalar, the only person at OpenAI whose entire job was ethics - Brad Lightcap - Denise Dresser Bakalar left in July. OpenAI never announced it, and NOBODY has replaced her. Fidji Simo stepped down the same month, and two thirds of the organization had been reporting to her. Greg Brockman absorbed most of her job. He also introduced Dresser's replacement this week, a Wiz executive named Dali Rajic. OpenAI filed its IPO paperwork confidentially on June 8. The full prospectus, the one with audited financials in it, still has not appeared. So the order of operations is worth sitting with... File the paperwork in June. Buy your insiders out in August at a price you set yourself. Watch the people who built the commercial side leave that same week. Then show the public the books. Retail investors will see those numbers for the first time in a document written after every one of these people had already made their decision. Sam Altman told staff in June that he expects to go public within the next year. Reporting since then has pointed at 2027 instead, and a tender offer of this size is usually what a company does when the listing is not close. Here is what I think happens next: That prospectus lands with a revenue line big enough to carry the story, and the executive turnover gets buried in the risk factors where almost nobody reads. The people who priced OpenAI at $852 billion this month were the same people who took the money out of it; and the next set of buyers will not get that arrangement.

I'm seeing some odd reactions to the HBC news. My opinion of the role that HBC played is bullish..!! Dismissed with Prejudice, just says, don't come around trying to sue people after this emergence takes place. Because the ones who have the most to lose will make an attempt. Consider it post emergence protection from frivolous lawsuit filers. The company had to go into Ch 11 bankruptcy protection, to have any chance of returning $$ to all of their stakeholders. As opposed to the people driving it into the dirt, wanted the company to go into Chapter 7 and be dead forever. I can't think of a better, legal way to control their timeline and destiny via the share price to get them there. And the timeline was controlled on the debtors' watch, not the other way around. Remember, my recent post of how many documents were filed on the petition date of April 23, 2023 for this voluntary Chapter 11..? And how many more were filed the day after on April 24, 2023 for the first day hearing..? You do remember that morning of April 23, 2023 was a Sunday. Woke up, checking on things, and saying to yourself, welp, here we go. I remember. 42 intricately detailed court filings on April 23, 2023, and a total of 80 filings by the end of the day on April 24, 2023 which was also the first day hearing. This Ch 11 Reorganization was planned. And it was planned well in advance of HBC getting involved, imo. The plan was to disassemble this horribly run business, neglected infrastructure (as RC would say "Underinvestment in their Technology Stack"), and start over... I am sure there were some audibles being called along the way, like.. "oh crap, look at the fraud.." But, imo, that is another bullish indicator that shareholders are going to make it. Why..? Because if you had offered $400M to buy that piece of crap, and on top of that, have a legal bill of over $100M (just a guess, it is probably more), not to mention, the analysts and MSM making up lies, and dragging your family's name through the dirt, I would hope you would do the same thing. Jam it down their throat, and let the World know, you come after me, you are going to pay. And if RC comes calling, you'd better pick up the damn phone. There is a new sheriff in town, and he is not fucking around. So for those MSM spies, and worthless shills working for the morons who made a bad bet, take this post, and shove it up your ass. It has been a pleasure doing business with you. Oh yeah, and RC can start something new with the most valuable asset he just acquired, the tax attribute asset gift that the morons paid for.. The $1.6B+ of NOLs. 😊

I promised the next update would be for $CrawlScan holders. It's live. Two mechanics, both running on right now. CA: 0x19dCb63C4d2F29A6f077F094a4f858fC790145e1 1. Burns every 12 hours At 10:00 and 22:00 UTC I burn tokens from my fees wallet. They go straight to the dead address 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD, where nobody can ever move them again. Every burn removes tokens from circulation, so there is less and less supply left in the market day by day and the token is more and more valuable. The site tracks every burn live: amount, transaction, total burned and % of supply. 2. Holder rewards every 24 hours Every day at 22:00 UTC one random holder wins 10% of the creator fees collected over the last 24 hours. I convert those fees into $CrawlScan and send them to the winner in tokens. Every holder takes part, even the smallest wallet. Every token you hold is a ticket, so the more you hold, the bigger your chance. Your chance is based on your average balance over the whole day, so buying a bag one minute before the draw does nothing. My own wallet is excluded from the draw. Now about random winner mechanics so you see it's real random. The winner is picked from the hash of a Robinhood Chain block produced after the holder list is locked. Nobody can know that hash in advance, including me. There is a Verify button on the site that recalculates the winner right in your browser from public data. Burns and payouts come from one public wallet, shown on the site, so anyone can check every transaction. Why I'm doing this? I want this token to be for the people who actually support the project and hold it. Not for the people who flip it in five minutes. First burn today at 10:00 UTC. First winner tonight at 22:00 UTC. If you think i'm done here, just watch what comes next. Yesterday i build CrawlScan for Robinhood tokens just as a tool for my followers to use and win while trading memes. In 24 hours i added Solana chain support, burning mechanism, rewarding mechanism and a real community. And the only thing that motivates me is you and your feedbacks. Thank you for inspiring me. I feel like i am finally doing what i always had to. More updates to come, you are probably early if you are reading this now.

New episode: Mark Zuckerberg's Empire 0:00 — "Carthage must be destroyed." (Zuckerberg on Google) 2:59 — "Sean Parker observed this kind of imperial tendency in Mark." 3:35 — "Either a Caesar or nothing." (Zuckerberg's shirt) 4:25 — "What is it like to be one of the most powerful men in human history, who, by age 42 has secured a place in the books that'll be written about his era for centuries after his death?" 4:55 — "People call him arrogant. He's not. But time after time, his arrogance just turns into truth." 7:25 — "One day they will be out of office and eventually dead, while Zuckerberg, whose majority control of Meta's voting power makes his removal effectively impossible, could in fifty years still be ruler of his empire." 8:05 — "The more power a man acquires, the more his empire expands, the more he depends on other people for information about everything from his own court to the furthest reaches of the empire." (The Dictator's Dilemma) 14:15 — "I think we all have a void in our lives, and the lucky ones find something that fills that space to make us more optimal, to make us a better human being. Mark filled the void with fighting." (Zuckerberg's MMA coach) 16:40 — "There have been too many things that I've tried to build and then have been told, 'Nah, you can't really build that,' by the platform provider. At some level, I'm just like, 'Nah, fuck that.'" (Mark Zuckerberg) 18:05 — "Meta's capital expenditure this year will exceed the military budget of every country on Earth except the United States, China, and Russia." 18:15 — "This is how it is for him; there is no stopping. He is not like the others of his vintage, who all at some point abdicate, or sell, or are overthrown." 20:15 — "I'm never going to stop." (Mark Zuckerberg) 31:15 — "Mark is the fucking Terminator. He's actually not an asshole. He's not a miserable fuck. His source of advantage is he's never happy. He just doesn't fucking stop." (A researcher at a competing AI lab, who formerly worked at Meta) 39:55 — "This is who I am. I love this. I didn't set out to build a company. I just love building things." (Mark Zuckerberg) 40:35 — "You can't take this away from him. He wouldn't be him if he stopped."

👤: I came across this and I'm really unhappy. Some people are belittling JossGawin, saying they’re not suitable for LOL. Ever since I saw LOL's announcement, JossGawin was already in my head. There's no way they wouldn't be there. I don't know how those people see them, but let me tell you, JossGawin have a lot of potential. For sure, they’ve already had fancon, and they're completely sold out. They’re possibly not too “big” as others, but they’ve done more than enough. They’ve also had fanmeetings abroad, toured across Europe (Paris, Madrid, London), America (Atlanta, Los Angeles), South America (Brazil), and Mexico. They’ve a perfect match which has many potentials for the company. 👤: I have to admit that JossGawin might not be massively popular with fans in Thailand or across Asia, but internationally they are very popular and have been talked about a lot since MGB. Even more than that, there were fan meetings in Taipei, Manila, and many other places. I can guarantee that, hey, the boys have a fanbase, even though their fanbase is scattered across many places. 👤: Everywhere they go, there are people who love them, people who miss them, and people who want to see them. And what's even more amazing is that Gawin sings beautifully. He's one of the individuals who should be in Riser Music. He is the king o OST. This is a guarantee that he won't get overshadowed on stage. He'll be one of the people standing alongside many solo artists in LOL, singing together, and I really want to see that scene, it's going to be grand. 👤: Now, as for Joss, he's perfectly suited for the theme. Why? Because it's a racing theme, and actually, the series "Replay," if it hadn't been cancelled, also featured a racer, which suits Joss perfectly. The whole theme, and Gawin’s amazing voice, are perfect for LOL. Have those people even watched their fancon? I've seen fan comments, and I can say with certainty that all the songs are amazing, and Joss is incredibly hardworking. Their singing voices are fantastic, very Western-vibed, and each song they sing is superb. I believe that when they perform on stage, they’ll be just as amazing as BournPrem last year who when they first joined the label, wasn't very well-known, but once they got on stage, they became memorable because they’re senior artists already. 👤: I believe that their performance will make people who don't know JossGawin, from other fandoms, fall in love with them for sure. I guarantee!!! Introvert Gawin doesn't really hang out with his friends much. He's at least occasionally jammed with others, but I can't imagine how Joss would ever jam with anyone. I want to think about shows, but if it's a show with Fourth, something sexy, showing off his physique, that would be amazing. #LOLFanFest2026 #JossGawin

Divorce is awful, here’s true lessons from going through it... 1. Marrying well is the biggest life hack of all. 2. Marrying poorly is a costly path to misery. Choose wisely. 3. When someone gets divorced I often say, “I’m sorry and congratulations.” Usually there is pain and freedom. 4. Money makes people a shell of themselves during divorce, do not fall to that level. You can make more money later. 5. There is always an exit tax on freedom, expect it. 6. Careful of shadow influences, people who whisper in the ear of your former spouse fear and pain that can take an amicable divorce and turn it into a nightmare. 7. Find someone who has walked the path before you, taboo subjects will leave you feeling lonely and alone. 8. It is going to be ok. If you learn from this, you will be better. And likely so will your spouse. 9. Mediation, arbitration, trial. Avoid trial at all costs, try for mediation. Cheaper, faster, less contentious. 10. Find an attorney who lists on their website they help do divorce amicably, if one spouse has a wartime attorney, it will turn into war. Try to avoid that. 11. Grab your loved ones close. A place to stay, a friend to wake up to, a person to watch movies into the night. 12. Don’t allow anyone to shame you. Of course you wanted it to work, hopefully you tried hard. Those who secretly want divorces are often the loudest to yell at you for your choice. 13. Tears. You will shed a lot of them. It’s ok. 14. Find something to look forward to, a trip, a project. You can get lost looking at the past, look forward. 15. You can find incredible love and commitment after this, I did. It will take work but it will be worth it. 16. Write daily and often. Pain will be repeated until you learn from it. 17. If no one else says this to you, and you have given it your all, and your marriage is truly not right… you are making a very brave move. Hold your head up. 18. You will lose friends. They will choose sides, they won’t all choose yours. BUT the real gems for you will. 19. People will talk about you. Who cares.

I am beyond grateful. This tour was THE highlight of all highlights of my life. I had no expectations coming in, I just wanted to help take good photos, for the team and the blooms as well. However, I didn't expect that my heart would be so full of love and friendship after my own 'tour' of 8 states, and 11 cities in 23 days. I never felt exhaustingly tired, until now. Naramdaman ko na rin ang sakit ng katawan 😅 In retrospect, this was maybe because at every stop, from NY to SEA, everyone was all positivie vibes, walang epal. Everybody had a good time before and after each concerts. I never met anybody who said otherwise. TEAM BLOOM USA , I will never stop thanking the people leading this group for the trust and opportunity. If not for your hard work and perseverance, this will not come to fruition. And to the rest of the USblooms I've met along the way, thank you for making every stop memorable. To Team Bini, thank you for accepting me into your group. Working with you all was a breeze. I really appreciated the camaraderie and for giving me the chance to be my own creative self. I've seen now why BINI is so good because of the team that supports them behind the scenes, cares about each one of our walo. They held each other accountable and keep them grounded as well. To BINI, our walo, we are so proud of you all. Thank you for persevering despite all the doubt, for taking the challenge head on despite the uncertainty. You've conquered each stage with your aptitude, grit and determination. Congratulations for a job well done! It was an honor and privilege of mine to photograph and be a part of your journey. Honestly, I really felt the pressure the first time I had to photograph you, sino ba naman ako to take pictures of my idols. But everything became zero pressure as you made it easy for me. Thank you for being you, your sweet, malambing and fun selves. I started as a fan of your music, and of your personalities. Now and after I was given the ultimate chance as a bloom, to work with you, I end the tour with an even more deeper appreciation of your body of work and what you all do. You're setting the bar really up high as artists and as performers. Do not believe anyone who would say otherwise. To BINI, to the whole bini team, and together with the blooms worldwide, I will be borrowing the motto of the state of NY, a full circle moment for me, as it is where I started my own 'tour'. The motto states in Latin and I will leave you all with it: Excelsior! Or in other words: onwards and upwards, to greater glory! 2, 3 thank you po! Paalam muna sandali, 'til we meet again. 🥹🫶🏻 #BINI #BINI_PH #BINIverseWorldTour2025

$SPCX IS ABOUT TO TURN BUYERS INTO EXIT LIQUIDITY! SpaceX is currently up around 28% from its $135 IPO price Most people keep buying have no idea what that pump just triggered Here's why everyone who bought SpaceX right now will only lose money: Right now 95% of the shares are locked, so it all trades on a thin sliver of float with $2T valuation Also, there's a clause buried in the lockup, an extra 10% of insider shares Unlocks early if the stock holds ~30% above the $135 IPO price into the first earnings which is $175.5 And here's the worst part: Insiders unlock -> they sell into the hype -> price drops -> the next unlock hits an even weaker bid. And the calendar only gets heavier from there: After Q2 earnings the first 20% unlocks, then 7% drips out every couple of weeks Q3 earnings frees another 28%, and by mid-December the full lockup is gone Then in June 2027 Musk's 6.4 billion shares come online A wall of supply, on a fixed schedule, already counting down We've seen something similar before: Facebook IPO'd at $38 in 2012, the lockups expired, and months later it traded near $18 Half the value gone, not because the company failed, but because supply showed up and buyers ran out Now ask yourself one thing: Who's on the other side of your buy up here? It's people who got in at $40, $60, $90, sitting on years of gains and waiting for exactly this window They don't need price higher, they just need someone to sell into and right now that someone is you I've been here for 9+ years and seen dozens of such IPOs, not so big ofc but each used same system So I am here to warn you and tell you how you can really earn on this I'll post a full breakdown in a few days, so make sure to turn on notifs and follow me

🚨BREAKING: Candace Owens is being sued by a private citizen she spent months casting as a suspect in Charlie Kirk's assassination. Robby Hild was in the crowd at UVU, 15–20 yards from the stage. The lawsuit is absolutely damning: - The indictment says the suspect walked onto campus at ~11:51 a.m. in the black flag shirt seen in the FBI's stairwell photos. A friend's video shows Hild in the crowd at 11:52, in a gray T-shirt and shorts. - Days later, a friend posted selfies of them in that stairwell without Hild's consent. Owens showed the photo to millions, asked them to identify him, and said he resembled the FBI image "more so than Tyler Robinson does." - She called him "our goth suspect" from the "gothic underground." The goth photo was from a Halloween costume party. - She suggested he might be from overseas, floated a "hunch" about the Azov Battalion, and doubted "Robby Hild" was his true identity. If he were "just some kid who grew up in Washington and went to school in Utah," she said, her inbox would be flooded. That's exactly who he is. - Per the complaint, people did reach out. The woman who shot the 11:52 video of him in the crowd emailed her tip line to say she stood with him and he had "nothing to do with this." When Owens DMed the friend who was with him at the event, he replied twice with his number and offered his photos and videos. She ignored both. - On Oct. 2, an X account posted the 11:52 video with its metadata, publicly apologized to Hild, and tagged her. Per the complaint, Owens admitted to his roommate that she'd seen it. - She said she just wanted to "know where he was" and "check him off." His roommate told her where he was all day, and when asked if she'd apologize, she texted: "Apology for Rob Hild? Lol. I spoke to his roommate yesterday. He clarified nothing. I am still looking into him." In December, she told Piers Morgan she doesn't name people without "concrete evidence." According to the lawsuit, she had none. In April, she reopened her "investigation into Robby Hild" anyway and said his family was "married into the Robinsons." Per the complaint, he has no relation to Tyler Robinson and has never met him. When his lawyers contacted her, she offered to correct the Robinson claim. She never did. What Hild got, per the complaint: death threats, a doxxed family, a vandalized home and car, and months away from Utah after police advised him not to stay home. Tyler Robinson is headed to trial for Charlie's murder. Robby Hild was just a Charlie Kirk fan who came to hear him speak.

Nate Bittle is joining the Toronto Raptors on an Exhibit-10 deal. This is a long-term bet on development but I'd like to make a case for why Nate has a better shot to make it than most 7 footers who went undrafted. 1. He's smart. This doesn't just mean he's a mature, level-headed 23 year-old with good habits and work ethic, but he's also quite intelligent on the court. He processes feedback well, makes timely reads, and picks his spots pretty well. Apart from a few unforced turnovers and some foul trouble earlier in his college career, I'm not worried about his basketball brain. 2. He can shoot. And I mean shoot shoot. Not big man shoot. He has excellent touch indicators, and the shot should go in more than it actually does. Repeatable, high and quick release. Pulls with an abundance of sureness and confidence. 3. Improvement arc. His role expanded with the Ducks through the years and he just found a way to get better. There's no quantum leaps here, nor will 1 be coming. But he absolutely knows who he is as a player. 4. He can really pass. Not exceptionally. But he at least projects to be as good a passer as Jakob Poeltl, which is a huge win. 5. True 7-footer with a 7'6 wingspan. Gets long and big around the basket. Huge standing reach and plays with it. 6. Got stronger. Way too many people assume Nate is 7'1 215. Spoke to someone close to the source close to the situation who said he was closer to 7'1 245 and got up to 255 by the G League combine. That's BIG. 7. He's a drop big. Yes. But he's good at it. And I think his lateral quickness is better than people think it is. 8. Wingspan. He measured out with the largest wingspan in this draft at 7'6, tied with 12th overall pick Aday Mara. However, his Height (7'0) to Wingspan (7'6) differential of 6 inches is the biggest of any player in this draft north of 6'11. 9. He's got a nasty streak. He protects the rim, he goes up strong. Did he at times get bumped off his spot? Yes. But he competes man. 10. His athleticism concerns are over-emphasized. A 26 inch vertical matters way less when you're this big. By no means is this a big vertical lob threat who jumps out of the gym, but he rolls well, rolls hard, finishes well and has excellent touch on a handful of replicable post moves. For the Raptors, if ever he develops, he's as good if not a better bet than Brendan Carlsen. Same size, but a couple of years younger and a much more productive bet against better competition. Not to mention, he's a better defender passer and rebounder than Carlsen. I think he'll eventually work somewhere. Not spectacular. But 7'1 depth bigs who have this much game are a rare find.

🎤 Is there anything you want to say to your fans? 🐨 Honestly, Mhee has said this many times already, but everything happening today… the fact that Lookmhee and Sonya are becoming more known and getting more opportunities… it’s all because of the fans. And another thing is… even though the fandom keeps growing bigger and bigger, we still love everyone the same no matter what country you’re from. Sometimes we might not be able to treat everyone equally in every moment, but Mhee never wants anyone to feel left out because our good intentions for everyone have never changed. We’ll never leave anyone behind. Fans always say things like, “If 1 day you both become even bigger, we’ll probably become too small for you to see anymore.” 🐰 Like… they’ll feel invisible to us. 🐨 Yeah. But if that day ever really comes, I want everyone to know that Mhee and Sonya will still love you the same. Maybe we just won’t get to meet as often, that’s all. But our feelings will never change. 🐰 Yeah. Thank you so much to everyone who came into our lives. I’ve said this before too, but honestly, we’ve already come way farther than Lookmhee and Sonya ever imagined. And if that day really comes, Mhee and I will go find everyone ourselves. We’ll walk into every corner where people are still waiting for us. Actually, I think Affair The Series just had an anniversary recently. I’m not sure if it was last month or this month, but a photo popped up from the 1st premiere day and I suddenly remembered everything. I cried that day because I was so happy. I’ve acted in several series before, maybe 3 or 4, but there was never a project where people truly remembered me or wanted to know me as a person. Most people only watched the performance itself. But with this series, we were officially the main leads. And before the series had even aired, there were already people who wanted to know us. There were like 30 people sitting there waiting for us already. I remember telling Mhee, “Mhee, people actually came to see us.” 🐨 I was like, “Wait… who are they here for?” 🐰 And I kept thinking, “They must have really high expectations for this series.” But we were still so new back then. I kept wondering if we could really meet their expectations. That was also the 1st time we got to sing in front of people too. Our moms came to watch for the 1st time. My mom had never seen me like that before. 🐨 We were literally shaking. 🐰 Actually shaking. I remember saying, “Mhee, there are so many people here.” Back then 30 people already felt like a huge number to us. And then everything grew so fast. The series only had 8 episodes, and within like 2 months, the final episode event became massive. There were over 1,000 people there. Back then I felt so small thinking, “Wait… more than 1,000 people came?” 🐨 I still get goosebumps thinking about it. 🐰 Yeah… they really loved us. 🐨 Like… when did they start loving us this much? 🐰 Seriously. Even just 30 people already felt beyond anything we expected. When we saw the light signs for the 1st time we were so happy. I was like, “Wait, there are fan signs!” 🐨 “We’re celebrities now!” 🐰 For real. Going to events and seeing people come support us… everything felt so new in our lives. I’m really grateful that everyone has loved and supported Lookmhee and Sonya since day 1. Fans always tell us, “Thank you for not giving up.” Or “Thank you for being born so we could get to know you.” But honestly, Sonya wants to thank all of you too. You made the goals in our lives become clearer. Whenever we want to do something, we feel brave enough to go for it because we know everyone is ready to support us every step of the way. #ลูกหมีซอนญ่า #LMSY

This is going to be one of those long Elizabeth Lane posts and you absolutely need to watch the video below. Read the text first, then watch the video, it will make more sense. First, let me start by saying I love this girl! This was by far my favorite episode of Candace Owens show. Some might wonder why I’d choose this one when there have been bigger bombshells in other episodes about the case, but for me, this one really stood out for several reasons. First, this is where Candace clearly summarized the connections involving the military and the CIA which I think is the right direction on this case. Most importantly, she brought up President Kennedy’s assassination, which resonated with me because I’ve long believed that the same institutions responsible for Kennedy’s death were also behind Charlie’s. She also reminded me of Mitt Romney, which had completely slipped my mind, so thank you for that Candace. I think you’re right to revisit the Romneys and I can’t believe I hadn’t noticed these connections before. Candace is right about Texas! Not just Texas, but let's start with that. Texas was always very important for the CIA for multiple reason. Dallas, Houston and Fort Worth were known to have ties to the CIA for funding and logistical support in overseas operations. Their role was usually financial, logistical, or as intermediaries. For example even back during Kennedy times, certain oil and international trade magnates were informants or facilitators for CIA operations in Latin America and Europe. Texas had a strong military-industrial presence, including aviation, defense manufacturing and private security firms. Contractors sometimes worked on CIA technology or paramilitary support. These firms provided training facilities, flight and transport logistics, and equipment procurement. Individual agents or retired military personnel in Texas sometimes acted as liaisons, recruiters or covert operatives. None of this is speculation, it is all documented history. When I did investigation into Kennedy Assassination I used to call Texas the “CIA’s jackals capital.” (I highly advise reading David Talbot’s work). I thought it would be imported to show you a good example how the CIA and military work together when they need to kill people on the US soil and get away with it. Video below is a great example this is from an old series on Kennedy assassination. This is a very old film, such a great work done by investigative journalist. Let’s start with the fact that the CIA should not operate domestically but they always find smartass ways to still do it and get away with it. The CIA is also very highly compartmentalized organization, most people in the analysis section of the CIA are actually nice smart people, but the operations - now these people are psychopathic maniacs. The operations section of the CIA is even more highly compartmentalized. In other words, the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing, which makes it easier to carry out actions without the rest of the agency knowing about it. This is what happened during Kennedy’s assassination. People often forget that the man who led the CIA at the time was actually Kennedy’s own appointee John McCone. MacCone was Kennedy's man. He had no idea what was happening right in front of him. This is partly made possible by the very convenient relationship the CIA has with the military. So yes Candace is right on CIA - Military connections. When you watch this video, you will see how these typical operations went down back in the day. Today, it’s even more sophisticated. Long story short, a man named Bruce Pitzer from the Navy altered Kennedy’s autopsy photos. This is just one source discussing it, today we have multiple sources claiming the photos were altered, including the doctors who operated on the president (you can find this in my documentary as well). In this video, you will see a clear example of how the CIA and military carry out assassinations on US soil. You will also hear that the man who altered the pictures was taken out by another military officer called David Vanek, who was later removed from the military database altogether as if he never existed, but thank god some people saved some copies and receipts. I’ve always thought these testimonies from the military men back then were so underrated and deserved more attention. But hey, who would have given them attention, President George H. W. Bush, the CIA man himself? Or his son? Or Pedo Bill? Lol. Of course not. The point is, they typically go mafia style when they want to make sure there are no loose ends. Someone does a job, and you eliminate that person if they represent a threat. Well, when you kill the President of the United States, many people would not be able to stay quiet, so they had to go mafia style in the case of Kennedy. I don’t think they needed that with Charlie. People, especially psychopaths in special Ops, would be more willing to stay quiet. But the point is, this was very much happening back then and it is happening today. The military CIA partnership in domestic assassinations goes back to the Kennedy era and Texas always played a significant role in all of that. With Kennedy, they began eliminating anyone who was a minor or mid-level figure involved in the assassination plot. After Kennedy’s assassination, over 100 people died under mysterious circumstances. 100 + people! :) So when some people say, ‘Oh Candace names so many people involved in this case, it’s impossible for that many people to be involved.’ That’s simply not true. It is very possible, and it has been done many times, not just with Kennedy. What’s also important to mention, and why I specifically chose this clip out of many examples is that sometimes people are doing a job without really knowing who or what they’re working for. Dan Marvin, for example. All Lieutenant Colonel Marvin was told was to kill someone on U.S. soil. He had no idea that this person was connected to covering up Kennedy’s assassination. I'm guessing they told the same thing to David Vanek,He simply carried out a hit without knowing the bigger picture. This is often how the CIA operates. It’s not always a kill, sometimes it’s something as simple as moving a vehicle from one place to another, without knowing what case it’s connected to or why they are doing it. So while many players are covering up for the operation, they often have no idea what they are actually covering up. Now a little bit about Romney from someone who lives in Utah believe me when I tell you the Romneys were like gods in Utah for the longest time. They still have huge influence, Mormons loved them, and even non-Mormon republicans supported them, some still do. But after Romney was caught in multiple lies, some of that support faded. They are extremely corrupt and I believe they should be looked at.

Two things can be true at the same time. 🕯️ Alex Pretti’s death is a real and devastating tragedy, and there are several investigations appropriately occurring into the circumstances behind his killing 🎯 A far-left organizing network put Pretti in harm's way and then turned him into a martyr for their own agenda to sow the perception of chaos in America Both truths can be said at the same time. Thank you to the many readers who can hold both truths and appreciate my newest Fox News Digital investigation, chronicling the dangerous ICE Watch operations that had far-left anti-ICE demonstrators outside Glam Doll Donuts on Nicollet Avenue early Saturday morning, tracking, harassing and following federal agents BEFORE Pretti was shot and killed on Nicollet Avenue. 🔗 Please read the full article here: 📽️ Please also watch the video that I published here so you can see that the tragedy that happened in Minneapolis did not begin with the shooting. ICE Watch "rapid responders" are following detailed operational playbooks that has them tracking federal agents, their movements and their vehicles in an AirTable database called "MN ICE PLATES." The deliberate strategy is to impede federal operations and force confrontations with federal authorities. Saturday morning, Jan. 24 This is what I saw in an encrypted ICE Watch group on Signal: 🧊 7:15 AM CT/8:15 AM ET -- "Good Morning all. We are 7 days and 5 days into the federal occupation of our city." 🧊 8:50 AM CT/9:50 ET -- "Willow" shares a video from inside Glam Doll Donuts on Nicollet Avenue of two federal agents trying to enter the donut shop, before quickly turning around and returning to their maroon Dodge Durango. Someone filming the video says: "Get out of here!" 🧊 8:53 AM CT/9:53 AM ET -- A second Signal user, "Salacious B. Crumb," escalated the alert, summoning additional responders to Nicollet Avenue and citing the Dodge Durango and agents. "Backup needed at the Black Forest Inn parking lot on Nicollet Ave just south of 26th Street," the message read. "Multiple vehicles with many agents appear to be staging there," the alert continued. "One confirmed ICE vehicle seen was a maroon Dodge Durango [plate number], but it has driven away northbound on Nicollet." 🧊 9:05 AM CT/10:05 AM ET -- Video of the scene shows that as Pretti stepped into the middle of Nicollet Avenue to direct traffic, fellow agitators could be heard blowing whistles to alert locals that ICE officers were around. Soon after, Pretti ended up in a street confrontation with CBP agents, across the street from Glam Doll Donuts. That's when bullets went off and Pretti was tragically killed. 🧊 9:18 AM CT/10:18 AM ET -- The Signal network erupted. Using a red phone emoji to signal an all-points alert, a message blasted out: "☎️ easy. URGENT: observers urgently requested at glam doll donuts @ 26th & nicollet [sic]. an observer has been shot by ice, unknown condition, emts [emergency medical technicians] present, please be safe. EDIT: medics requested to join perimeter in case agents start gassing. be aware there are many agents and mpd [Minneapolis Police Department] officers present." 🧊 According to these messages shared in the encrypted Signal chat, activists were already mobilized BEFORE any shots were fired—tracking, broadcasting and summoning people to Nicollet Avenue with one objective: to obstruct the work of federal agents. Encrypted Signal chats show “rapid responders” were dispatched to intercept ICE and Border Patrol agents during an active law enforcement operation. This wasn’t accidental. It was organized interference—designed to escalate confrontation. 🧊 A Gameplan to Create "Mayhem" This is the pattern. based on my reading of dozens of far-left protest manuals and strategies: 1️⃣ Put bodies into volatile confrontations 2️⃣ Film and amplify escalation 3️⃣ Reframe tragedy as “execution” 4️⃣ Convert death to fuel rage 5⃣ Destroy It’s a strategy. 🧊 Far-left groups mobilized protests within hours. 1⃣People's Forum 2️⃣ Party for Socialism and Liberation 3️⃣ Freedom Road Socialist Organization 4️⃣ Democratic Socialists of America 5⃣BreakThrough News It's a well-funded network. One of the funders is Neville Roy Singham, an American-born billionaire living in China. He has financed a Marxist-Leninist network in America that is pro-China and foments chaos so that China can win in the "new Cold War." Calling this out does not dishonor Pretti or any victim of tragedy. What honors them is recognizing his death was avoidable—and asking why activists knowingly send people into a powder keg and walk away with political capital for their agenda. If we care about human life, we benefit from learning how people are mobilized, who benefits from escalation and why tragedy keeps being recycled into spectacle and political theater. Two things can be true. Ignoring either one is how tragedy repeats. Understanding what happened with each one is is how we create life-saving solutions. Thank you for reading, whether you agree or disagree. May there be be peace. Send tips to me at [email protected] or DM me. I'm on all encrypted channels.

Wow! Gary Lineker really hit all the high notes in his appearance on the "Palestine Deep Dive" podcast. ❌ "I think they're a rogue state". Yes, we know Gary. You are obsessed with the only Jewish state. Funny that. ❌ Sepp Blatter has never called for Israel to be banned. Gary is referring to a tweet from the former FIFA boss this past April and there is no mention of Israel being banned. ❌ Gary did used to tweet about Israel before October 7. Infamously, Lineker lamented the death of a "Palestinian footballer" in December 2022 and it turned out to be a Hamas fighter. Does he even know he mourned an Al Qassam fighter who was draped in a Hamas flag at his funeral. "How awful". ❌ "I would always get attacked there. Usually by people in the IDF." LOL. How big does he think the Israeli army is? Does Lineker actually think the IDF, with no shortage of threats on its borders, is worried about his Tweets?! ❌ "It was an apartheid... and it's worse than that now." Oh ffs do piss off with these lies! Two million Arabs live here with the same rights as everyone else you clown! 🤡 Gary campaigns for a "Free Palestine" - now that will be an actual apartheid state. A Judenrein Free environment. These clueless idiots just don't see their own ignorance! ❌ "They were living in an open-air prison". More lies. More untruths. This smells like a defence for the invasion massacre of 7/10/23. Gross. ❌ "Everything was controlled by another country." Bit harsh on Egypt but I am sure Gary knows Gaza shares a border with Egypt?! Right?! ❌ "So many footballers lost their lives." Gary Lineker has absolutely no idea that so many of these "footballers" have now been claimed by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. He just doesn't know this. It has not hit his algorithm. It literally won't ever be presented to him. Lineker lies about Israel to such an extent that there is only one conclusion to draw from this and his daily output on Instagram where he demonizes one country and one country only.

Marco Rubio, from the Pnyx in Athens, calls for a great renewal of the Western spirit. As a Greek, however, I want to speak to you about the place from which the he is giving his speech. The Pnyx was the platform of the Assembly of the People from the reforms of Cleisthenes (around 507 BC) until the late 4th century BC. From there, wars, taxes, and laws were voted on. The site was dedicated to the "Father of men and gods," Zeus, who was regarded as the great protector of the Athenian constitution. For that purpose there was also the great Altar of Zeus Agoraios. The same place was also dedicated to Zeus Hypsistos, who was given the character of a healing god. Here, in the 5th century BC, Themistocles announced the naval preparations to face the Persians and took the decisions that led to the Battle of Salamis, which saved Greek and Western civilization. Here, Aristides called on the Greeks to form an alliance even after the Persian Wars, with a common allied policy. Here, in 430 BC, Pericles delivered the famous Funeral Oration. A short excerpt from his speech: "The brave men had a sense of duty and great ambition. They did not withhold their valor from their country, because they believed that the finest common offering was to sacrifice themselves for it. Together they gave it their lives, and each of them received undying praise and a glorious tomb, not so much the one in which they lie, as the memory of those who will wish to honor them, for the tomb of the great is the whole earth, and it is not revealed by the inscription of a stele in their native land. Even in the most distant places, their memory, unwritten, remains more vivid in men’s souls, more for their courage than for the deed they performed. Taking them as an example, and knowing that happiness means freedom and freedom means courage, you must not shrink before the dangers of war. It is not true that those who are unfortunate and have no hope of a better fate sacrifice their lives more easily. Those who sacrifice them are the ones who, if they try to save their lives by avoiding the inevitable, risk suffering the greatest humiliation if they are defeated. For the brave, the humiliation of cowardice is worse than a noble and unexpected death." (Thucydides, Histories 2.43.2–2.43.6) Here, Alcibiades gave his speech in favor of the Sicilian expedition in 415 BC. Here, Demosthenes gave his speech; having been bribed by the Persians, he waged an anti-Macedonian struggle, and from the same place the Athenian Aeschines answered him, calling him a barbarian and supporting Philip as king-emperor of the Greeks. Here, in modern history as well, General Theodoros Kolokotronis, on 7–8 October 1838, urged the Greeks to support the nation, the preservation of the Orthodox Christian faith as the religion of the Greeks, education, and the struggle for freedom. A very important excerpt from the man who liberated Greece: "My children! On this ground where I stand today, wise men once stood and spoke in the old times, men with whom I am not worthy to be compared, nor even to reach their footprints .. In the land we inhabit lived the ancient Greeks, from whom we too descend and from whom we took this name. They differed from us in religion .. The ancient Greeks, our ancestors, fell into discord and devoured one another, and so first the Romans, then other barbarians, found the opportunity and subdued them. Then the Muslims came and did whatever they could to make the people change their faith. They cut out the tongues of many people, but it proved impossible for them to succeed. They would cut one man’s tongue, and another would make the sign of the cross .. When we decided to make the Revolution, we did not consider how many we were, nor that we had no arms, nor that the Turks held the castles and the cities, nor did any prudent man say to us, ‘Where are you going, to fight with wheat-boats and barrels?’; but like a rain the desire for our freedom fell upon all of us, and all of us—our clergy and the notables and the captains and the educated and the merchants, small and great—all agreed on this purpose and made the Revolution. You must keep your faith and strengthen it, because when we took up arms we said first ‘for the faith’ and then ‘for the fatherland’ .. My children, you must keep your faith and strengthen it, because when we took up arms we said first for the faith and then for the fatherland. All the nations of the world have and keep a religion. Even the Jews, who were persecuted and hated by all nations, nevertheless remain steadfast in their faith. It remains for you to set right and adorn the place that we liberated; and for this to happen, you must have as the foundations of the state concord, religion, cultivation of the Throne, and prudent freedom." From this sacred spot, today, the American Secretary of State Marco Rubio today, 7 October 2026, delivers his own speech on the revival of the Western spirit and the destigmatization of nationalism, the oldest and purest human sentiment that lives in the souls of people who want to protect their religion, their nation, and their families. Only a blind man would fail to see that humanity today is sunk in chaos. The human spirit is in a state of captivity, and at the same time it is sick with a mange that, like a cancer, eats away at its vitals and keeps mind and spirit in a subjugated condition from which they cannot rise toward higher things. The young are uneducated and uncultivated, and the greatest problem is that they themselves think they are educated and on the right side of their own imaginary history. Socrates called such people dokesisophoi, while Aristotle called them two-footed animals. Dokesisophos means “someone who thinks he is wise” but is basically stupid. Nowadays everyone has an opinion about everything. The uneducated are more persuasive to the crowd than the educated. We are in a state of spiritual collapse that leaves its mark everywhere around us: in the arts, in music, in the universities, in architecture and buildings, in politicians, in people’s occupations, and in the empty, soulless entertainment that people find interesting. The revival of the Western spirit is therefore an urgent necessity, and Greece will once again be at the center of that revival. Greece remained in darkness for a long time. But the future has been written by God and surpasses political agendas and individuals. Greece and the Greeks will once again show the way toward the light, so that humanity may come out of the darkness. A civilization that teaches its young to surpass their ancestors in virtue, courage, wisdom, and beauty ascends. One that teaches them to despise or ignore their ancestors has already begun its long descent into oblivion. - Homer Pavlos

I’ve been in Kisumu for the past four days, and let me tell you, this is not the Kisumu you read about in newspapers. This is live politics, sizzling hot and loud enough to wake the fish in Lake Victoria. Everywhere you go, people are saying the same thing: there is no vacuum. The President is their darling. They have embraced him fully, trusting him to steer them through. Where Baba left them, that is exactly where they want to stay. No blind leaders trying to pull them out, they are here to stay, thurwa. Friday hit me like the whole of Kondele had woken up at once shouting, clapping, and dancing before the President even arrived. The crowd…oh, the crowd! Streets jam-packed tighter than a sack of maize in a boda boda trailer, people waving, cheering, energy so thick you could scoop it and sell it for electricity. They had been waiting since 7 a.m., sun blazing like it was trying to compete with their excitement, but not a single grumble just patient eyes, steady smiles, and that quiet determination that made the air itself hum. All morning, the Tutam slogan bounced from street to street, louder than a megaphone on full blast, like a heartbeat you could feel in your chest, keeping everyone awake, hyped, and ready for the President the moment he appeared. And then there was the lorry. Ah, this was no ordinary lorry. It carried a full-blown music system, massive speakers, and the people had one rule: this lorry should not move; it should lead the President’s convoy. From Kondele all the way to the airport, it became the unofficial drum of the parade, blasting beats, slogans, and energy that even the sun seemed to follow. The crowd cheered it like it was another VIP, part of the President’s entourage, dancing along, waving, and making sure nobody forgot its lead role. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any wilder, I swear I saw Raila’s ghost sitting on a street lamp, shaking his head and muttering, “Hii crowd… I never saw it coming!” He looked like he had just realized the baton had passed and maybe a little impressed that the new runner isn’t dropping it. For decades, only Raila could move Nyanza like this. But now, with him gone, the people were curious, who’s the new magnet? Turns out…it’s the President, and he’s pulling everyone like iron to a magnet. As he moved through the streets, the crowd didn’t just watch, they flowed behind him like Lake Victoria after a heavy rain, slow but unstoppable. And the best part? Peaceful, organized, like a river that knows exactly where it’s going. Politics in Nyanza just learned a new dance: follow the one who shows up with real presence. Even the boda bodas stopped to salute him, and the matatus forgot to honk, they were too busy being part of the parade. Now, if anyone thought they could play old tricks on the President…well, they can pack their bags. Nyanza doesn’t move for slogans or empty promises anymore. The people are awake, alert, and laughing at anyone trying to pull stunts. The energy on the streets could light up Kisumu for a week, and still have enough left to shake the next politician who thinks they understand this game. By the time the President left, the streets were quiet but only on the surface. The excitement hung in the air like smoke from a nyama choma fire, a reminder that politics here is alive, unpredictable, and full of surprises. And in Kisumu, the message is crystal clear: show up, be real, and the people will follow

JADE tears up while giving a speech at the final show of her first solo tour: “Thank you so so much Hamburg, from the bottom of my heart. Before I do my final song, there are so many people I need to thank who have put this show together. […] Everybody on this team [is a very good friend]. I think that speaks for itself – surrounding yourself with really great people who not only do the job well, but everybody on this tour has gone above and beyond to make this show work tonight. I have a lot of ambition. I hope you’ve seen that we’ve put as much as we possibly could into the show. It isn’t just about my creative brain and what I want to bring to the stage – everybody on my team has really done more than their job to make this happen, and that really means the world to me… [Tears up] I know it’s a bit of a lengthy speech tonight, but it’s because it’s the last night and it’s really important to say these things. I’m so grateful to my team. They’ve gone above and beyond to make this show what it is. I hope you know how much I love and appreciate you all, and how grateful I am. Last but not least, I have to thank you – my fans... [Chokes up] I’ve said this so many nights on the tour, but I really do mean it: I feel so honoured and lucky that I was in a girl-band for over 10 years, and I feel even luckier that I’ve got to start again at a solo artist. I couldn’t have predicted that I’d still be able to do this. I hope that shows people in the audience that it’s never too late to keep dreaming. I never thought 15 years into my career, I’d be able to do my own solo tour. Thank you for making my dreams come true. You did that. Wow… It’s an emotional one. I have to thank as well – there’s been so many new fans who have joined the JADE fandom, which is so so lovely. There’s also some day ones here tonight. Some of you have been to every single show, and it just blows my mind that you want to invest so much time and effort and energy into me as an artist. I really hope you know that I appreciate you, I love you, and I’m very aware that I would not be here without you. And also, I have to thank the gays and the gals! I would not be here without you. Thank you so much. I promise to always be an ally to the LGBTQ+ community.”
