Dive into the critical issues shaping economic policy, from President-elect Trump’s sweeping tariff proposals to the challenges Texas faces under rising government spending. Now is the time for bold reforms to protect taxpayers and ensure economic freedom thrives.

🇺🇸 companies had been hired to train election staff AND they manage social benefits which is likely why: #PWD can’t afford shelter let alone all other expenses required TO LIVE & why the #CDB will be clawed back allowing FORD’s govt to profit from those who can’t afford to eat!

Without question. It would have never happened with an honest party. Not without proper study. Greedy conservative thieves are destroying ONtario, while blowing smoke down south.

Put 100% tariffs on Starlink, Tesla, and Amazon.

I fear our personal information is available at the Staples and the Walmart are health information, our names and addresses with our car insurance

Chris .. 7-11 is owned by the Japanese and Circle K is owned by a Quebec company so cancelling liquor sales would be stupid. At least know who owns what … 🤣

Just because Tru.p is wishy-washy or flip floppy does mean Ford changes his mind Starlink doesn't get reinstated because Trump flopped or flipped Cancel ⏫️ and no waivering on any of it NO MATTER WHAT

AMERICA'S IRAN HUMILIATION: THE LESSON THAT EMPOWERS CHINA AND BRICS FOREVER Former British diplomat Alastair Crooke delivers a blunt assessment of the Iran conflict. What was long treated as unchallengeable American military power has been exposed as brittle and limited. The consequences reach far beyond the region and are already strengthening the rising influence of BRICS. THE SHREDDED US STANDING ➡️ This war is shredding the standing of the US military presence. ➡️ It was thought to be invulnerable, unable to be contested or attacked. That has all been proved wrong. ➡️ American military structures have their arches healed. They do not have enough defense weapons. They do not have enough wherewithal to launch a major war. ➡️ They are not doing very well even with a localized war and are making mistakes. THE FIFTH FLEET HOSTAGE ➡️ In 1979 the embassy hostages brought down an American administration. There are no students in an embassy now. There is the Fifth Fleet. ➡️ Where is that? Of Bahrain. That is quite a big hostage. ➡️ Effectively the Fifth Fleet is an Iranian hostage. ➡️ Someone in the White House needs to wise up and get out of this quite quickly. Otherwise it becomes a complete catastrophe for the United States, for its image and for its presence in the world. It will be a humiliation. THE TWO CHOICES ➡️ One path is climbing down from the tree. Psychologically that may prove impossible. ➡️ The other is all-out war. That will finish the standing of the United States as a serious political player or serious military power. ➡️ People will have learned from the Iranian experience exactly how to deal with the United States. THE LESSONS THAT STICK ➡️ The first lesson is to trust in nothing. Nothing said, nothing written, nothing. ➡️ Young people on the streets of Iran ask why anyone is negotiating. He will say one thing one moment and pull it back the next. There is no point talking to a person like that. Forget it. We do not need to deal with the United States. ➡️ The second lesson is clearer still. If you punch the United States in the face, they cannot deal with those blows. They cannot stop them. They are more vulnerable than people thought. THE BRICS BOOST ➡️ This strengthens the BRICS because they can see a weakening America. ➡️ If America has failed to subordinate Iran and reduce it to a vassal, it will not succeed with Russia or China. ➡️ Those states will take strong encouragement from Iran winning the war. ➡️ It will increase China’s insistence on a close relationship with Iran to secure energy supplies. ➡️ China already views the entire process as an attempt to put it under siege by squeezing its energy routes. THE BOTTOM LINE The order that existed before this war is gone forever. Iran has emerged stronger. American military standing has been shredded in public. BRICS powers are drawing the direct conclusion that US dominance is no longer unchallengeable. This is the sound of multipolar power rising while American control slips away. #BRICSRise #IranVictory #USHumiliation #FifthFleetHostage #AlastairCrooke #AmericanDecline #MultipolarWorld HT: YouTube Daniel Davis / Deep Dive

MONTHS TO RECOVER: THE COVID LESSON JEFF CURRIE SAYS APPLIES TO IRAN OIL Jeff Currie, executive co-chairman at Abaxx Markets, just laid out why the potential Iran-US ceasefire will not bring quick relief to oil markets. The uncertainty and risk remain huge because physical players see no reason to change course. They are destocking instead, creating a powerful downward pressure on prices that the headlines completely miss. THE CORE THESIS: UNCERTAINTY STAYS SKY HIGH ➡️ Getting to the ceasefire was extremely challenging. ➡️ Maintaining it is going to be even more challenging, which means the uncertainty remains quite high. ➡️ Physical players are not changing their behavior one bit in response to the headlines. ➡️ Major shipping companies like Maersk and Mitsui are keeping their vessels out of the Gulf. THE 60 MILLION BARREL TRAP ➡️ Around 60 million barrels of oil remain trapped inside the Gulf right now. ➡️ Releasing that volume would cover roughly ten days of global inventory at current draw rates. ➡️ After the short-term flush, the longer-term supply solution is still missing. ➡️ "After that, you really have to question what is the long term solution here, and nobody right now has an answer for that," Jeff Currie warned. THE SLOW RETURN TO NORMAL FLOWS ➡️ Flows through the Strait of Hormuz will take months to return to normal. ➡️ Even with a perfect ceasefire signed on Friday, serious discussions about resuming normality would only start by the end of the year. THE PRODUCTION REBUILD CHALLENGE ➡️ Saudi Arabia can restore output the quickest because they recycle their fields at high frequency. ➡️ Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain, and Qatar face much longer timelines measured in months if not years. ➡️ The COVID precedent is clear: shutting in 10 million barrels per day took the US two to three years to fully recover. THE DAMAGED INFRASTRUCTURE REALITY ➡️ Many wells were shut and damaged, not simply turned off. ➡️ Restoring pressure and redrilling damaged wells takes significant time and explains recent strength in driller stocks. THE DE-STOCKING PHENOMENON ➡️ Oil prices are falling for real reasons tied to aggressive destocking by both financial and physical players. ➡️ Financial positions are collapsing as policy uncertainty spikes and value at risk drops to some of the lowest levels seen. ➡️ Physical players including German heating oil consumers are deliberately running down stocks. ➡️ They believe uncertainty will lead to lower prices tomorrow, so why buy today? ➡️ In the US, drivers are purchasing ten gallons less per fill-up at retailers like Walmart and Costco while waiting for cheaper fuel. THE INVENTORY REPLENISHMENT GAP ➡️ A billion barrels or more of oil have already been lost from inventories and strategic reserves. ➡️ Replenishing them will take months, not days or weeks. ➡️ Tertiary inventories held by end consumers keep draining lower as everyone delays purchases. THE FINANCIAL VERSUS PHYSICAL DIVIDE ➡️ Financial markets are treating the ceasefire as a done deal with rapid normalization ahead. ➡️ Physical market participants see a completely different picture of prolonged uncertainty and are acting on it now. THE BOTTOM LINE A signed ceasefire might flush some trapped oil in the coming weeks, but it does nothing to resolve the fundamental uncertainty or the massive inventory deficit built up over recent months. This is the sound of physical oil markets refusing to celebrate while financial markets price in a victory that has not yet arrived. #OilMarkets #IranCeasefire #EnergyUncertainty #Destocking #JeffCurrie #StraitOfHormuz #OilSupply

ONE BARREL OF OIL = 5 YEARS OF HUMAN LABOR - THE TRUTH THEY NEVER TAUGHT YOU Nate Hagens just delivered a mind-expanding breakdown on oil. As the Strait of Hormuz crisis dominates headlines, his clear analysis reveals the shocking reality that our entire modern civilization runs on an ancient solar battery most people never truly see. What he explains will instantly change how you view daily life and the world events unfolding right now. THE ORIGIN STORY MOST PEOPLE GET WRONG ➡️ Oil didn't come from dinosaurs. It formed from ancient marine phytoplankton that captured solar energy tens of millions of years ago. ➡️ Heat and pressure turned it into an incredibly dense liquid solar battery. ➡️ We're draining in just a few centuries what took nature millions of years to create. THE ASTONISHING POWER OF ONE BARREL ➡️ A single barrel of oil contains 1700 kilowatt hours of work potential. ➡️ It replaces approximately five years of hard human physical labor. ➡️ Combined with machines, that number can range from one to twenty years of human effort. ➡️ For around a hundred dollars you get the equivalent of five years of human sweat. THE INVISIBLE GHOST WORKFORCE ➡️ Globally we burn around 100 billion barrels of oil equivalent per year. ➡️ This equals roughly 500 billion human labor years. ➡️ That's 100 fossil-powered ghost workers for every living human on Earth. ➡️ This massive subsidy has supercharged wealth, agriculture, transportation, and consumption worldwide. LIVING BETTER THAN ANCIENT KINGS ➡️ The average American consumes energy equivalent to about 40 barrels per year. ➡️ This gives us hot water on demand, refrigeration, cars, planes, and year-round fresh food. ➡️ Most of us live with more energy services than royalty had centuries ago. ➡️ Every product, every service, every bit of GDP first requires an energy conversion. WHY YOU'VE NEVER NOTICED ➡️ We are energy blind because abundant energy has surrounded us our entire lives. ➡️ Even Nobel Prize-winning economists often overlooked energy's true contribution. ➡️ Your body needs 2000 kilocalories a day. The average American uses roughly 200,000 kilocalories daily through all the hidden systems. THE BOTTOM LINE This ancient sunlight has created the deepest subsidy in human history and enabled an explosion of wealth and population like nothing before it. But it won't be available forever at today's prices and scale. This changes how you see the current world events unfolding.

$M. EL-ERIAN: THE WAR'S LONG-LASTING SCARS WILL HAUNT US FOR DECADES Economist Muhammad El- Erian just delivered a complete brain dump on why this war's economic damage will last far longer than the fighting. He showed exactly how a conflict sold as quick and decisive is instead unleashing inflation shocks, supply chain fractures, and accelerating deglobalization that will drag on growth for years. His breakdown of choke points and America's eroding advantages leaves no doubt that the easy decades are over. THE INFLATION SHOCK THAT KEEPS SPREADING ➡️ Energy prices spike first and immediately raise the cost of gas, diesel, and every mile that food and goods travel to supermarket shelves. ➡️ Those higher costs then spread through the entire economy and start destroying consumer demand as families and businesses pull back spending. ➡️ Without careful management this process forces the economy to give up growth just to contain the rising prices. THE FERTILIZER AND SUPPLY CHAIN TIME BOMB ➡️ Closing the Strait of Hormuz hits far more than oil because modern agriculture depends on energy-intensive fertilizers. ➡️ Food price increases will hit households hard in six to nine months even after energy markets calm down. ➡️ Supply chains built for speed and cheapness now face permanent disruption and structurally higher costs. THE POWER OF WEAPONIZED CHOKEPOINTS ➡️ Iran has shown the world that controlling one narrow waterway gives any actor massive leverage over global trade and prices. ➡️ This discovery changes strategic thinking because economic chokepoints can deliver advantage without conventional military moves. ➡️ The Red Sea and the waters near Taiwan just became far more dangerous pressure points the world must now prepare for. THE RISE OF GEOECONOMICS ➡️ Countries now see that tariffs, supply chain controls, and financial tools can achieve goals faster and with fewer political costs than sending missiles or troops. ➡️ Once the old status quo is shaken the system does not snap back like a rubber band to the comfortable past. ➡️ It settles into new arrangements that often leave major players worse off than before the disruption. THE RESILIENCE IMPERATIVE ➡️ Efficiency used to rule corporate strategy but the war has made single points of failure unacceptable. ➡️ Businesses will now duplicate factories and routes across multiple locations even though it raises costs for everyone. ➡️ This post-COVID trend is accelerating and will define the next phase of the global economy. THE US GLOBAL POSITION ERODES ➡️ America has long enjoyed special benefits from issuing the world's reserve currency and hosting the deepest financial markets. ➡️ Other nations are responding by building little pipes around that system and reducing reliance on US-centered infrastructure. ➡️ The result is a slower deglobalization that leaves the United States less well off than it would have been otherwise. THE BOTTOM LINE The conflict may wind down but its long-lasting economic impact will include permanently higher baseline costs and a more fragmented world economy. The comfortable global system that delivered easy growth and unique American advantages is being replaced by something slower, riskier, and far more expensive for everyone.

INSTITUTIONS SHORTING TO DEATH: TOP EXPERT REVEALS THE HIDDEN COMEX DESPERATION German-Swiss silver expert Jochen Staiger just laid bare the true cause of silver's savage collapse. The metal fell from a January peak of $115 an ounce all the way to $57 today. That is a brutal 50 percent loss in a matter of months. Yet Staiger insists the fundamentals have never looked stronger and the real story lies in desperate futures market games. THE MANIPULATION MECHANISM ➡️ Huge institutions have piled into massive short positions on the COMEX silver futures market. ➡️ Open interest now sits above 104,000 contracts which equals more than 500 million ounces on paper. ➡️ The whole COMEX only holds around 326 million ounces with roughly 86 million available for actual trading. ➡️ These players are shorting themselves deeper into trouble just to stay afloat for a little longer. THE PHYSICAL MARKET THEY CANNOT CONTROL ➡️ The world has suffered through eight straight years of silver deficit that removed 1.3 billion ounces from available stocks. ➡️ Industrial demand continues to surge for solar power, electronics, defense and more. ➡️ New mine supply cannot possibly close the gap fast enough even if everything goes perfectly. ➡️ China has turned into an unstoppable buyer while controlling 70 percent of the world's silver refining capacity. THE DESPERATE BANK PLAY ➡️ American banks have already racked up 316 billion dollars in unrealized losses this quarter. ➡️ They are using the futures market to manage positions and avoid even bigger disasters. ➡️ Staiger warns this approach is like trying to put out a fire with gasoline and sets the stage for explosive moves. THE CORRECT RESPONSE RIGHT NOW ➡️ Most retail investors buy at the top in excitement and sell at the bottom in fear. ➡️ The winning move is to buy every dip in smaller tranches and hold physical metal tight. ➡️ Staiger himself keeps adding to his silver stack daily because he sees this drop as a gift. THE BOTTOM LINE Silver's plunge is nothing more than a paper market illusion created by institutions fighting for survival while the physical world tightens under relentless demand and Chinese accumulation. The fundamentals scream for much higher prices and the window to buy is wide open. This is the sound of a manipulated market beginning to crack under its own weight. #SilverCrash #COMEXManipulation #PaperVsPhysical #SilverDeficit #BuyTheDip #PhysicalSilver #JochenStaiger

13 MILLION BARRELS PER DAY SHUT IN: WHY A FULL STOCK MARKET CRASH IS UNAVOIDABLE IN WEEKS Over the last few days, I have been looking closely at the oil market and why this commodity is so immensely important to our economy. I can only come to one conclusion: the global stock market is facing an imminent and drastic correction. The greatest energy supply shock in history is now manifesting itself in concrete terms in the form of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and massive production losses. This shock cannot be averted by peace talks, as oil reserves have been depleted and the delays in recovery are insurmountable. The markets continue to react with dangerous complacency to the withdrawal of fundamental subsidies. THE INVISIBLE OIL SUBSIDY ➡️ Oil is not just fuel but ancient solar energy stored in a super-dense liquid battery. ➡️ One barrel of oil replaces approximately five years of human labor powering our entire economy. ➡️ At global scale this creates roughly 100 fossil-powered ghost workers behind every living worker on Earth. ➡️ This invisible army underwrote every economic miracle of the last 150 years from exploding wealth to population growth. THE PHYSICAL SHOCK HAS ALREADY LANDED ➡️ Around 13 million barrels per day have been shut in for weeks destroying hundreds of millions of barrels. ➡️ Even a perfect ceasefire today means 3-month ramp-ups and 25-40 day tanker delays. ➡️ Inventories will hit historic lows by end-May or June as the real pain wave begins. THE DIESEL AND JET KILL SHOT ➡️ Crack spreads have exploded punishing freight agriculture manufacturing and aviation. ➡️ These fuels cannot be quickly substituted leading to rationing talks and immediate surcharges. ➡️ Every sector now faces exploding input costs at once. THE STAGFLATION RECKONING ➡️ Cost-push inflation combines with universal margin squeezes crushing corporate earnings. ➡️ Demand destruction via high prices becomes inevitable collapsing discretionary spending. ➡️ Stretched valuations and high debt loads amplify the panic when reality hits in coming weeks. THE PRIVATE CREDIT LIQUIDITY CRISIS ➡️ High corporate and household debt now meets exploding energy costs and tighter financial conditions. ➡️ Private credit markets and real-estate funds are cracking with early redemption halts emerging. ➡️ Defaults and margin calls risk freezing liquidity in these opaque sectors. ➡️ Forced asset sales could cascade rapidly amplifying the entire market shock. THE PETRODOLLAR FRACTURE AND AI BUBBLE BURST ➡️ The Gulf Cooperation Council recycles massive oil dollars into U.S. equities Treasuries and AI giants — those flows are now disrupted and liquidity is vanishing. ➡️ Even a peace deal cannot fix this because the United States has lost its status as the protective power for these countries destroying confidence forever. ➡️ The massively overvalued AI and tech bubble with Shiller CAPE at 39-40 is set to burst violently as the petrodollar foundation cracks. THE BOTTOM LINE The modern economy floats on an invisible ocean of cheap oil energy that is about to be violently withdrawn. The market is still pricing a quick fix that physics makes impossible.

13 MILLION BARRELS PER DAY SHUT IN: WHY A FULL STOCK MARKET CRASH IS UNAVOIDABLE IN WEEKS Over the last few days, I have been looking closely at the oil market and why this commodity is so immensely important to our economy. I can only come to one conclusion: the global stock market is facing an imminent and drastic correction. The greatest energy supply shock in history is now manifesting itself in concrete terms in the form of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and massive production losses. This shock cannot be averted by peace talks, as oil reserves have been depleted and the delays in recovery are insurmountable. The markets continue to react with dangerous complacency to the withdrawal of fundamental subsidies. THE INVISIBLE OIL SUBSIDY ➡️ Oil is not just fuel but ancient solar energy stored in a super-dense liquid battery. ➡️ One barrel of oil replaces approximately five years of human labor powering our entire economy. ➡️ At global scale this creates roughly 100 fossil-powered ghost workers behind every living worker on Earth. ➡️ This invisible army underwrote every economic miracle of the last 150 years from exploding wealth to population growth. THE PHYSICAL SHOCK HAS ALREADY LANDED ➡️ Around 13 million barrels per day have been shut in for weeks destroying hundreds of millions of barrels. ➡️ Even a perfect ceasefire today means 3-month ramp-ups and 25-40 day tanker delays. ➡️ Inventories will hit historic lows by end-May or June as the real pain wave begins. THE DIESEL AND JET KILL SHOT ➡️ Crack spreads have exploded punishing freight agriculture manufacturing and aviation. ➡️ These fuels cannot be quickly substituted leading to rationing talks and immediate surcharges. ➡️ Every sector now faces exploding input costs at once. THE STAGFLATION RECKONING ➡️ Cost-push inflation combines with universal margin squeezes crushing corporate earnings. ➡️ Demand destruction via high prices becomes inevitable collapsing discretionary spending. ➡️ Stretched valuations and high debt loads amplify the panic when reality hits in coming weeks. THE PRIVATE CREDIT LIQUIDITY CRISIS ➡️ High corporate and household debt now meets exploding energy costs and tighter financial conditions. ➡️ Private credit markets and real-estate funds are cracking with early redemption halts emerging. ➡️ Defaults and margin calls risk freezing liquidity in these opaque sectors. ➡️ Forced asset sales could cascade rapidly amplifying the entire market shock.

NATO CAN'T WIN WAR WITH RUSSIA: RETIRED COMMODORE WARNS EUROPE FACES TOTAL DEFEAT Retired Royal Navy Commodore Steve Jeremy commanded warships in the Fifth Destroyer Squadron and Britain's Fleet Air Arm. He later served as strategy director in the British embassy in Afghanistan. He has just delivered a devastating warning that European leaders are sleepwalking into catastrophe. They assume Russia will wait quietly until 2030 while Europe arms Ukraine to strike deep inside Russian territory. That assumption is pure fantasy. THE CORE PROBLEM: LEADERS MISREAD THE NATURE OF THE WAR ➡️ Russia sees this as an existential defensive war against NATO expansion right up to its borders. ➡️ European elites wrongly call it Russian imperialism and refuse to accept decades of clear Russian warnings. ➡️ Without understanding the true nature of the war Europe has no chance of planning for it. THE DEADLY TIMELINE MISCALCULATION ➡️ European leaders think Russia will sit still until they finish preparing in 2030. ➡️ Retired Commodore Steve Jeremy says Russia will strike early to stop future attacks. ➡️ The same calculation that pushed Russia into Donbas in 2022 applies right now. THE OPENING RUSSIAN RESPONSE ➡️ Russia hits the exact factories in Germany, France and Britain that build drones and cruise missiles for Ukraine. ➡️ Europe invokes Article Five but quickly learns it guarantees nothing and nations can simply opt out. ➡️ The United States steps back after its defeat in Iran and refuses to send American soldiers to die in Europe. THE MILITARY REALITY CHECK ➡️ Europe's missiles and aircraft face Russia's highly effective S-400 and S-500 air defense systems. ➡️ Russia destroys most incoming attacks and takes a heavy toll on Western aircraft. ➡️ European land bases remain almost naked against hypersonic missiles. THE ECONOMIC KNOCKOUT BLOW ➡️ Russia destroys Europe's energy infrastructure exactly as it did in Ukraine. ➡️ With Russian oil and gas already cut off by self-defeating sanctions the continent faces instant crisis. ➡️ Lorries stop running, farms shut down and industry collapses within days. THE NUCLEAR DETERRENCE DILEMMA ➡️ The only truly open question left is what Britain and France will do with their nuclear deterrents. ➡️ Using them would be suicidal — that is the end of Britain, the end of France and probably the end of a lot of Europe. ➡️ After the irrational actions European leaders have already taken, this possibility cannot be dismissed. THE BOTTOM LINE European leaders are leading their people into a war they have never properly thought through, cannot win and cannot even define victory against a nuclear power fighting for survival. The only rational escape is urgent diplomacy before the first missiles are fired. This is what happens when slogans replace strategy.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Iranian parliamentary speaker who led the first round of negotiations with JD Vance in Islamabad, gave an important TV interview today. In it, he lays out his narrative of the war, the diplomatic track, and signals where Iran’s political goalposts are currently. He projects firmness throughout. Iran, in his telling, will not back down from its negotiating demands. At the same time, he frames negotiations not as a retreat from conflict but as its continuation by other means, a way to consolidate gains and secure what he calls a “lasting peace.” 🔴His core framework is that military power, public mobilization, and diplomacy are inseparable: ➡️“Today, we have the ‘field,’ the ‘street,’ and ‘diplomacy of authority.’ These are not three separate things. Do not make a mistake. Today the street, the field, and diplomacy are together.” 🔴He argues this is precisely why now is the moment for diplomacy. Iran, he says, has reached a peak position militarily and in terms of social cohesion, and negotiations are meant to lock that in politically: ➡️“In the military sphere, we are at a maximum point. The street has given strength to the field. We have achieved part of our demands militarily, but they must now be stabilized and recorded politically. This is where diplomacy must take the flag in hand.” 🔴At the same time, he signals to hardliners to not be overly triumphalist. Iran’s asymmetric warfare has paid off, but he is explicit that this does not mean superiority over the United States: Iran has succeeded without being the stronger military power. 🔴On escalation, he is blunt. Iran is ready for the war to resume if necessary. He warns that the Strait of Hormuz remains a central lever and that restrictions will continue if the US “blockade” is not ended. 🔴Passage, in any case, will be governed by Iranian “protocols.” 🔴At the same time, he presents a calibrated position. Iran, he says, wants normalization in the Strait and does not seek broader disruption: ➡️“We have always sought normalization… but when commitments were not fulfilled, we restricted traffic. 🔴He adds that access will remain open to countries that are not hostile: ➡️“We want those who do not act with hostility toward us to pass easily. We are not seeking to create insecurity.” 🔴But that openness is conditional and controlled: ➡️“This Strait must be used by the world, but with the protocols that we set.” 🔴On the ceasefire and negotiations, his narrative is clear. The United States, not Iran, initiated the diplomatic shift. He says US ultimatums failed and that Washington, through Pakistan, sent a 15 point proposal. Iran rejected it and countered with its own 10 points after internal deliberations at the Supreme National Security Council and consultation with the Supreme Leader. 🔴According to him, the US accepted the "generalities" of the Iranian framework and sought a ceasefire to negotiate on that basis. 🔴On trust, his message is stark. In Islamabad, he says JD Vance spoke of "good faith", and his response was that Iran also came in good faith, but with zero trust. The burden, he says, is on the US to change that. 🔴He underscores that Iran’s negotiating positions have not shifted. They remain aligned with the framework set by Ali Khamenei: ➡️“Our strategy was those same measures the Supreme Leader has stated. We have not pursued and will not pursue anything outside that framework.” 🔴He adds that the delegation is operating fully in line with current leader Mojataba Khamenei, “neither ahead nor behind.” 🔴He repeatedly returns to the goal of a durable outcome: ➡️“We want a lasting peace, one with guarantees so this is not repeated.” 🔴He says the first round of Islamabad talks produced some movement, but major gaps remain: ➡️“We have had progress, but our distances are still great. Some fundamental points remain.” 🔴Still, he suggests one important outcome from the Islamabad talks was a more realistic understanding on both sides: ➡️“These negotiations did not resolve our mistrust, but both delegations gained a more realistic understanding of each other.” 🔴He credits the tripartite format for helping resolve misunderstandings in real time. 🔴Finally, he outlines Iran’s preferred structure for any deal going forward, a step by step process rooted in reciprocity: ➡️“Our policy is step by step action. Commitment against commitment. They must take one step, we take one step. It should not be that we fulfill our commitments and they do not.” The throughline of the interview is clear. Iran sees itself as having gained leverage through the war. Diplomacy is meant to convert that leverage into durable political outcomes. But that process will be conditional and shaped by deep mistrust, with readiness to use the Strait of Hormuz as leverage, and readiness for renewed escalation and war.

Do you all see what’s happening? Trumpcare isn’t just policy—it’s a DIVIDEND model for the American people. This is YUGE! A dividend is not welfare. It’s not socialism. It’s not someone else’s labor funding your services. A dividend is a benefit paid to the owners of a system—and Trump is positioning the American people as the shareholders of the U.S. “external revenue service” (tariffs, sovereign wealth fund). He’s shifting power from bureaucracies to citizens. Here’s the timeline 💥 📅 Oct 2, 2025 Outside the White House: “We have so much money coming in [from tariffs]… we’re thinking about a little rebate… a little rebate for people of a certain income level might be nice.” 📅 Oct 3, 2025 He expands the idea: “There could be a distribution or dividend… for middle-income and lower-income people.” 📅 Nov 9, 2025 Truth Social: “A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone.” 📅 Nov 10, 2025 Oval Office press gaggle: “We’re going to issue a dividend to our middle-income people and lower-income people – about $2,000.” 📺 Later that day — Fox News w/ Ingraham He criticizes Obamacare’s inflated premiums and subsidies… …and introduces the core concept of Trumpcare: ➡️ Redirect funds directly into people’s accounts ➡️ Let individuals buy and negotiate their own plans ➡️ Create an entrepreneurial marketplace for healthcare ➡️ Competition → lower costs, better products He literally says the money should go “to the people,” not the insurers or government intermediaries. This is not socialism. This is consumer sovereignty. This is market competition fueled by citizen dividends. And here’s the kicker: When you pair this with what RFK Jr. hinted about Direct Primary Care becoming central to the future of healthcare, you can see the outline of a much bigger shift: 👉 Less insurance bureaucracy 👉 More doctor-patient relationships 👉 Transparent pricing 👉 Citizens empowered with their own healthcare capital Trump isn’t just cutting checks. He’s restructuring the incentives of the entire system. America is about to become the marketplace— and the citizens are about to become the shareholders.

The Boomer generation is evil, and the reason why is obvious: Americans aren't supposed to live in a life of affluence in suburban McMansions; they’re supposed to live among giant trees on the American frontier. By the 1900s, roughly 80% of America’s forests were cut down. With the closing of the American frontier, the Boomer lost access to what made the American people great — adventure. According to U.S. Forest Service historical data: Nearly two-thirds of the total net loss of American forestland since 1630 occurred in the second half of the 19th century. Between 1850 and 1900, forests were cleared at an average rate of 13 square miles per day for 50 years. By around 1920, U.S. forest area had fallen to roughly 721 million acres — its lowest point in modern history. Eastern forests that once stood at 70% cover in many regions were reduced to 20% or less. The BOOMERs were the first ethnically cleansed generation, completely sedentary, without any meaningful outlet to practice traditional, frontier rites of passage meant to continue the American ethnogenesis. They become corrupted by comfortable lives of luxury and instead abandoned the traditional, folk values of the American, as a result, fundamentally devolving the American people into a state of static powerlessness. They were mandated from birth to be totally subservient to the will of the technological society due to their inability. They simply had no choice other than to live in a suburban box, have their behaviors modified through conscription schooling, and work as a tax cattle. The consequence of this "modern deal" was to ensure, in turn, that their offspring would become so impaired that they too would learn to rationalize their subservience to the machine as the highest virtue. The American was too powerful to directly confront, so he had to be weakened across time and conquer himself. The plan was always to lure the American away from his natural frontier lands with false comforts, tame him, poison his food supply, and then make him too weak to rebel. Now, he can be milked forever as a debt slave "goy cattle", while he is blinded to rationalize different stages of his imprisonment as a value, rather than to ever choose the ideal of freedom beyond.

🚨💥 WHO’S FUNDING THE RIOTS? 💥🚨 Thanks to Christina Aguayo’s bombshell report just blew the lid off what may be one of the most organized, funded, and coordinated acts of domestic disruption in America this year. 🧢 THE ARREST: Alejandro Theodoro Orellana — caught on camera delivering truckloads of “bionic” riot shields to anti-ICE protesters in downtown L.A. 🔗 FBI Los Angeles arrested him in a sting. 📌 Charged with Conspiracy to Commit Civil Disorders. 🎥 Video shows Orellana handing out riot-grade face shields — gear that looks like it came straight from a police armory. 🧠 THE MILITANT CONNECTION: Orellana is no random agitator. He’s a known member of the Brown Berets, a radical Chicano nationalist group formed in 1967. ➡️ Modeled after the Black Panthers. ➡️ Known for anti-police rhetoric, militant activism, and reviving calls for a breakaway state called “Aztlán.” ➡️ Today, they act as street enforcers at far-left marches across blue-state cities. 📢 WHO’S ORGANIZING? They’re not marching alone. They’re part of the ground crew for the Party for Socialism & Liberation (PSL) and its protest machine, the ANSWER Coalition. 💵 And here’s the key: Donations to PSL/ANSWER are funneled through a tax-exempt shell called the Progress Unity Fund (PUF). That’s how the money flows quietly — and legally. 💸 WHO’S FUNDING IT ALL? Here’s where it gets explosive: 1️⃣ Tides Foundation – The progressive “switchboard.” Took in $627M in 2023. 2️⃣ Open Society Foundations (George Soros) – Sent $17.8M to Tides in the last grant cycle. 3️⃣ Neville Singham – CCP-linked tech billionaire. House Oversight confirmed he funneled money to PSL-linked entities. 4️⃣ Left-Wing NGOs – Including immigration orgs that share the stage with the Berets and help secure permits, media, and “community defense.” 📈 THE CHAIN: Soros & Singham ➡️ Tides ➡️ Progress Unity Fund ➡️ PSL ➡️ Brown Berets ➡️ Riot Shields in L.A. 🔥 Every. Single. Link. Is publicly documented: • IRS Form 990s • Congressional subpoenas • Court records • Christina Aguayo’s video report This isn’t a conspiracy — this is a well-financed domestic network fueling unrest in blue cities under the illusion of “protests.” ⚖️ WHAT MUST HAPPEN NOW: We need President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Stephen Miller, The White House, Attorney General Pamela Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, Dan Bongino 🔹 Subpoena all fiscal sponsors: PUF, Tides, Singham’s fronts. 🔹 Audit every tax-exempt dollar that touched these riot networks. 🔹 Launch RICO cases for “knowingly facilitating” organized violence. 🔹 Cut the funding. Name the funders. Shut it down. “Law and Order isn’t a slogan — it’s a covenant. Fund the chaos, and you forfeit your silence.” 📣 Share Christina Aguayo’s report.

A Chinese developer created an agent system in Claude Code to sell landing pages to small businesses and, working completely solo, serves about 47 clients a month charging around $400 for each one. He built 7 agents on Claude Sonnet 4.6 capable of analyzing Google Maps in small cities, detecting businesses without websites or with totally outdated pages, and taking each opportunity all the way to a finished mockup, a promotional video, and a ready-to-send prospecting message. No assistants. No sales team. No SDRs. Just him, a MacBook, an iPhone, and an API key. While traditional agencies keep full teams to handle the same workflow, his only real costs are tokens and subscriptions to Lovable, Higgsfield, and Calendly. The 7 agents work coordinated by an orchestrator in Claude Code Router. The system consumes about 3 million tokens daily and the average API spend is just around $480 a month. They all work via MCP servers and share state using the file system, avoiding concurrency and shared memory issues. Even one of the agents lives directly on his iPhone and responds to leads while he's on the subway, in a taxi, or walking. This was the main prompt he set up: “You are the orchestrator of a solo agency that sells ready-made websites to local businesses…” The key is that the system perfectly understands what it is, what its limits are, and what goals it must achieve. It knows it has to find leads automatically. It knows it has to convert each opportunity into a landing page, a video, and a sales message without human intervention. And it knows exactly when to involve the owner. The system runs 24/7: Scout analyzes about 220 businesses daily and queues up 30 new leads. Diagnoser generates diagnostics and personalized messages for each lead. Builder creates between 3 and 5 complete landing pages for the best prospects. Filmer produces a 10-second vertical video for each proposal. Pitcher sends about 30 messages daily across 4 different channels with a response rate close to 14%. Checker automatically reviews all messages before sending them. Only when a deal exceeds $3,000 or the response rate drops below 12% does the system wake the owner. And if at that moment he's on the subway or in a taxi, the Mobile agent automatically responds to the interested lead, schedules a call in Calendly, and returns the lead to the queue. The owner just has to hit “approve” and jump into the meeting. Some real system logs: “218 businesses analyzed in Austin, Denver, and Miami. 34 without websites, 19 with 2014-era sites, and 6 with reviews requesting a redesign.” “30 messages sent. 14 responses. 5 positive. 3 Zooms scheduled.” “Landing page created for a dental clinic. Responsive. 5 sections. Video rendering.” “$3,400 agreement exceeds approved limit. Sending for manual review.” And the craziest part is that he has no dedicated servers or backend. Just a local sandbox, an MCP router, a Claude API key, and that same key connected to his iPhone. Of everything I've seen this year, it's probably the cleanest and most efficient example of a one-person automated agency: $480 a month on APIs. $18,800 in revenue. 7 prompts. A file system. And a phone in his pocket. Save this before it's too late.
