🏛️As of July 11, at least 10 of the 535 sitting members of Congress have publicly called for the release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. Israel has held the pediatrician without charge since Dec. 27, 2024, after detaining him during a raid on the hospital. Rights groups and his family say he is nearing death after being tortured, starved, and denied adequate medical care in Israeli custody. 1. Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md.: Said Abu Safiya’s life was in immediate danger following torture and mistreatment and that “he must be released immediately.” 2. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., 12th District: Wrote, “Free Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya,” calling him a hero targeted for saving lives as director of Kamal Adwan Hospital “amid genocide.” 3. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.: Said Israel “kidnapped him” for refusing to abandon his patients and “he must be released.” 4. Rep. Betty McCollum, D-Minn., 4th District: Called on Israel to immediately release all 84 detained Palestinian health workers, including Abu Safiya, whom she described as reportedly near death after torture and starvation. 5. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., 7th District: Said he “must be released immediately” and called on Congress to stop sending taxpayer money that makes the U.S. complicit in the abuses. 6. Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., 18th District: Said Abu Safiya must be released for immediate medical care, along with “any other prisoners being arbitrarily detained.” 7. Rep. Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., 3rd District: Called on the Trump administration to use “every diplomatic tool available” to secure his release and compel Israel to comply with international humanitarian law. 8. Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., 8th District: Said Abu Safiya must be released immediately to receive medical care and “continue his lifesaving work in Gaza.” 9. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., 14th District: Said Israel “must release” Abu Safiya, warning that he faces an “imminent threat to his life” from torture and medical neglect. 10. Rep. Valerie Foushee, D-N.C., 4th District: Demanded his immediate release for medical treatment and said he must be permitted to return to Gaza to continue his work. We will continue updating this list as more legislators call for Dr. Abu Safiya’s release and will add any names we may have missed below. ⬇️ 🧵 🎥 Channel 4 on the latest update from Dr Abu Safiya’s lawyer.

VDH: California University’s New President Vows to ‘Eliminate Whiteness’ “Eliminate whiteness,” says Sacramento State’s new president, Dr. Luke Wood. But press him on what that means? He has no answer. Victor Davis Hanson explains what this rhetoric really means, and why this racialized framing is not only intellectually hollow, but deeply dangerous for a pluralistic and Western democratic society on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “He believed that black students on test scores or GPA or by traditional criteria were not competitive with other groups … and therefore, you had to have a different type of vocabulary, a different type of approach for black students, in a way you wouldn’t for other students. This is not gonna work. We have tried that for 50 or 60 years. And we’ve seen that the Great Society specialization and fixation on race did not work. “This is in the age of post-DEI, in a very reactionary, retrograde approach, that you’re going to single out particular groups and you’re going to emphasize particular plans, programs based on the color of their skin at a time when we’re all trying to transcend it because when we have done that, it didn’t work. It created tensions rather than alleviated them. It created suspicion and distrust rather than ending such things. It’s a retrograde tribal thought that goes back to pre-civilizational ideas. 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

When I was reading Brian Tully, Ken Mello and Robert Cosgrove's affidavits yesterday in the Aidan TurtleBoy Kearney case, I was challenged by an account that was intent on defending Leigha Bathtub Genduso and Kate Peter. Best quotes from my retort; "Number one, Steph, please address the fact—please address why Kate Peter’s February 24, 2024 email to Ken Mello was not turned over in the 5,000 pages of emails that Robert Cosgrove spent seven months putting together that were between Kate Peter and Ken Mello and Kate Peter and Brian Tully. Why was that February 24, 2024 email not turned over? Secondly, is the fact that those emails were turned over—despite the fact that it wasn’t a full turnover of emails—in August of 2025 tie into why the Lindsey Gaetani charges involving Aiden were dismissed? Thirdly: is the fact that Kate Peter—now we know from these documents—directly handled two pieces of key evidence in the Gaetani indictments involving Kearney the reason why, coupled with the August 2025 disclosure of those manipulated email records between Tully and Kate and Kate Peter and Ken Mello, was that the reason why the 2024 indictments involving Lindsey Gaetani were actually null-prossed? Time to answer some tough questions, Steph. Why was that audio of Leigha Genduso not included in the extraction that Brian Tully released completely unredacted in April of 2024? And why have you never said a word about how Tully manipulated that extraction to remove messages from Tully to Lindsey and from Kate to Lindsey before releasing it? And Tully apparently didn’t include Leigha Genduso’s audio message that is now part of the public court record, as well? Yes, Steph, you can’t address it on merit, you can’t, because you’re not here to do that, are you? You’re here to vacuously distract with nonsensical emotional rhetoric. And I will not stand for it. No, I’ll continue reading. It’ll get worse before it gets better, Steph. I’ll tell you that right now. No, she did not, Steph. I’ll tell you what, right now. You know how I know? Because look at Steph, it was posted on social media. Oh, Steph, it was posted on social media and not included in the extraction. So how could Lindsey have deleted it? Lindsey saved it, because Tully didn’t include it in the extraction, and then Lindsey dropped it on social media. And that proves it. That absolutely proves it. All right, so Steph, if you don’t know and don’t care, that’s the end of this discussion. If we have to move you on begrudgingly, we will. But as of now, you can’t address any of this on merit. You don’t know the factual record. You’re getting humiliated. And furthermore, I’m sending a message through you to Kate that her moles are not welcome here. So, well, yeah, but no, that’s not—hold on, do you realize, Steph, the point is not where it was posted. It was that the audio file exists. If it was not on Lindsey’s phone when they did the extraction, she couldn’t have it. But she still has it. There you go. So, listen, oh, I knew we were onto something. I didn’t know it was this bad, Steph. You shouldn’t have tipped Kate’s hand like this, by the way. Reacting that way is only making me aware that this is the whole kit and caboodle. No, Steph, again, you have no standing to stand up for anyone, call anyone anything, or otherwise say anything here, because you will not address the merits of the argument. You just admitted you don’t care about the filings, you don’t know the details, and you refuse to engage. So therefore, we’re done." PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT: If you’re just tuning in, my name is Grant Smith Ellis, and we are reading through Brian Tully, Robert Cosgrove, and Ken Mello’s affidavit. It’s tough to call it an affidavit from Ken Mello, because quite frankly, he didn’t write an affidavit. Robert Cosgrove adapted hearsay statements in Ken Mello’s voice in his own affidavit. That might tell you something. I don’t know. What the fuck do I know? I’m just a towel. Thank you very much for tuning in. I have noticed that there is a very specific group of people in Kate Peter’s orbit trying to target Towel right now. People do not want Towel to be heard. That means I’m going to speak more. I am going to just keep talking and keep saying things, because now I have put it all together. Oh, that’s right. I have one more thing to type. Furthermore, as soon as, within weeks of Kate’s emails to Tully and Mello being turned over in, what was it? August of 2025, the TurtleBoy charges involving Lindsey Gaetani were dropped. And what do you know? Kate was involved in handling evidence submitted by Tully and Mello to the grand jury for Lindsey’s charges, for the charges involving Lindsey Gaetani, for Aiden’s charges involving Lindsey Gaetani. Furthermore, the new email from Kate to Mello indicates Kate was indeed also involved in the 2023 indictments against Kearney that the Norfolk DA seems intent on trying to wall off from Kate Peter’s involvement. Oh, little towels, I'm just a little towel. Steph, Grant says, “Why are you making fun of her by calling her bathtub.” Wait, what? No, no, no, Steph, let’s be very clear. When Leigha Genduso engaged in—and I think it was Kate actually who did it—but when Leigha Genduso or Kate responded to revenge porn with revenge porn, nothing about that was okay, okay? Whether it was legal or not at the time, nobody sharing revenge porn of anybody else was okay, all right? I just want to be very clear. So when Kate did it, it was not okay. When Aiden did it, if that’s what happened with Leigha—I don’t know, I wasn’t around—not okay. If Leigha did it to Aiden, not okay, okay? Everybody on the same page? Like, it’s not okay to do that to people. I just want everyone on the same page. No one would—it’s just like, treat people how you want to be treated, bro. So I just don’t do it. Now, I get some people would say, fight fire with fire, okay, still, don’t fucking do it. Please don’t do it. I don’t understand why people do it. It blows my mind. I don’t understand why people justify it. Oh, it’s okay that Kate or Leigha did it, cause Aiden did it too. It’s like, no, though. I get it's a shitty thing to happen. Don’t do it back. Just stop. It’s ridiculous. Steph's like—"I keep seeing you call her bathtub." Yea, bro she took a video in a bathtub once and posted it on social media. Okay, you want to livestream yourself from a fucking bathtub then I'm going to call you Leigha Bathtub Genduso. I don’t know what to tell you. You don’t have to call her that, but I’m going to do that, right? And I’m not going to stop. But yeah, Three-Clerk-Monte bang bang. Sometimes you just got to tell them how it is, Three-Clerk Monte, you know what I’m saying? Even while you’re on your break. By the way, Steph, I’m just going to break here just posting things, right? And I’m saying I’m not even supposed to be riled up right now. We’re going to go back to reading the indictment in a little bit. I’m just a little towel. I’m on one, you know what I’m saying? Absolutely not. I don’t know which Steph you are. I don’t know if you’re that Steph or whatever, the fake Canadian. You’re not going to come on here and tell me I cannot call her Leigha Bathtub Genduso. I’m going to triple down. I’m going to call Leigha Bathtub Genduso more now. Thank you for all the comments, by the way. It helps the stream get attention in the Kate Peter sucks. Remember that? Yes, that I want you to get this tattooed on your arm: Kate Peter sucks. I’ll help you spell it: K-A-T-E P-E-T-E-R, no S at the end, just Kate Peter, now a new word, sucks, S-U-C-K-S. Everybody on the same page? All right, it’s artistic expression, bro. What do you want to say? Oh no, she’s gone. Steph, I was enjoying all your comments. Yes, Steph, that’s exactly what I want. I want you to keep interacting in the comments because it gets the stream more attention in the feed. I want that. I want you to continue to engage, and I’m going to keep calling her Leigha Bathtub Genduso. It’s not an obsession. It is the product of multiple years of work on the story to uncover something hidden that you don’t want to be talked about in public. That’s the reality. Is that not right Steph, you’re concerned that Kate Peter compromised the cases against Aiden Kearney because she worked as a PI for Marty Craft, who’s now lost his license because of what she was up to according to people’s reports in this chat, and you feel that it’s uncomfortable to have to hold her to the same moral standard that you do Aiden because you’re biased, right? Fine, I don’t care. I’ll tell it to your face yes. No, Steph, you have something to say? You say it right here, one-on-one. Let’s debate. We can do it. I have all the evidence now. We can talk about it all. That’s correct. I don’t create realities, Steph. I bring them to light. Your normative moral framework and what you want to happen is just that. The descriptive reality is independent of what any of us want. It is simply a factual record. In the context of our asymptotic relationship with that factual record, notwithstanding, I was interested in the truth, and you are who is afraid of it, let’s be clear. I wouldn’t say you’re debating me, Steph. You can’t debate on the merit of the facts. You want to know why? Because, for example, it would be very hard for you to counter something like this paragraph right here, right? Where Robert Cosgrove says that any data missing from Lindsey Gaetani’s phone was not on the phone at the time Brian Tully did the extraction. And you might be saying to yourself, Grant, how can you know? How can you know that Brian Tully intentionally released the phone unredacted after only removing messages from Kate to Lindsey and from Tully to Lindsey and after removing things like audio messages from Leigha Genduso? How do I know? Well, because how else would Lindsey have posted it on social media? My word, Steph. It’s almost like there’s proof that Robert Cosgrove was withholding material information related to the sum and substance of Kate Peter’s communications with various members of the prosecution team and/or witnesses and/or the handling of evidence in order to insulate certain charges from Kate Peter touching that evidence so that they could continue to trial, notwithstanding the discovery obligations of the state under the new updated Rule 14 as implemented on March 1, 2025. And towel is in a snarky mood indeed. And you’re not going to be able to do anything about it—oh, please, you're not saying to yourself, "what’s wrong with towel, Steph?" You’re basically saying, "why are you crossing the thin blue line?" And I would like to respond to you by saying, in the least unloving way, but the fact that you would ask me, “What is Grant doing?” because I won’t adhere to your thin blue line? Get the fuck out of here. Go climb up somebody else’s tree. Go find your own treehouse. Not happening. Absolutely not happening. You will look this factual record in the eye. You will confront your moral problems with the various actions of different people involved on your own time. And Leigha Bathtub Genduso will be central to this moral reckoning. And there’s not a damn thing you or your fake Canadian ass can do about it. I’m on one. I told you. Listen, you want it? You want it to be on record? We’ll do it. No, no, I’m just not loyal to your interests, Steph. I’m loyal to truth. I’m loyal to the people who are actually harmed. I’m not loyal to you or any of your friends or Kate Peter or the thin blue line or the thin green line or the thin pink line for that matter. All of you can take your lines and go fuck yourselves. Fake Canadian. Yeah, right, Steph. Yeah, let’s go with that. Yep, let’s go with fake Canadian, because why would you want me looking more in to you? A reporter? You want me to look more into you? No. God, take the L, man, just move on. That’s correct. No, listen, Steph, you want to talk about Michael Proctor’s family’s relationship to my mother? You want to be the person who draws that line? I’ll tell you about it. You sure you want to talk about it? You damn fake Canadian. We may have to get this fake Canadian out of here. She’s riling me up. You’re riling me up by trying to defend Kate Peter. I knew you were a rat the whole time. Goddamn Kate Peter mole. I knew it. I saw through that shit. "I just heard you acknowledge me about the AI. No hate. I appreciate you reading this. Good content." Thank you, sir. Thank you, to the person who said that! You see what I’m saying, Steph? You know what? I think we should just let Steph talk to herself, all right? She can just keep promoting the stream and the algorithm. Let her talk to herself. But Steph, even if you’re talking to yourself, I still have to write the post, okay? Damn fake Canadians. Steph is a fake Canadian and she may or may not be a communist. What you gonna' do about it? You damn fake Canadian. All right, no, I actually have to write this follow-up post. Stop it, Steph. Stop trying to gaslight to protect Kate Peter. You’ll be thrown out of here faster than someone with a cannabis conviction trying to enter Canada who doesn’t actually live there. Damn fake Canadians. Thank you, Kristina. I appreciate it. Yes, and Kristina, you ever wonder if maybe people come in here specifically to derail the conversation because we’re talking about very damning things as to Kate Peter? Well then, let me write my other post, by the way. I’ll help. I will put it up on the screen for you in one second. I just got to get the video loading before I start typing. Oh, Steph, you were on assignment. Stop bitching. I hope they paid you well for it. Don’t bark up my towel tree about you had to spend time with me so you could run intel to all the Kate Peter people. I don’t care. I knew what you were doing. Do you think I was born yesterday? Come on. You all insult my intelligence routinely—not you in the chat. Some of you moles are just like, “He won’t know.” What, are you just going to tell me I’m the greatest thing ever and then it’s going to go along? I’m just saying, I’ve been posting on social media being like, “Aidan, if people tell you that you’re the greatest thing ever, that might be true, but some of them are going to tell you that because they’re moles.” Come on. This is very basic-level intel stuff here. Steph, that was very nice of you. I am never going to degrade you for supporting people in need. What I’m concerned about, okay—I’m not concerned about who you are as a person. I’m concerned about what you didn’t tell us. All right? Yeah? And that's my right. No, absolutely not, Steph. You know exactly what happened. You flipped on a dime as soon as I started asking questions about Kate Peter because she has a lot of moles in her orbit. And then as soon as we started talking about her today, coincidentally enough, you popped right back up. Oh, what’s this? Robert Cosgrove represented in a sworn affidavit that any material missing from Lindsey Gaetani’s—see what I’m doing, Steph? This is, uh, this is for you—Lindsey Gaetani’s phone extraction was not on the phone when MSP did that extraction. And then Brian Tully leaked that extraction unredacted. That’s a message from Leigha Bathtub Genduso proves Tully failed to include material that was indeed on Lindsey's phone. That was for you too, Steph. It’s weird that you know Bathtub, by the way. That’s just odd. Like she’s known Kate Peter for years too. If this Steph, who I watched Sandlot with, is the same Steph as the one who’s a second cousin of John O’Keefe, then she lied to me. She lied to me. If we can prove that this is the same, same Steph, then she lied to me. She told me she was from Canada, Saskatchewan, whatever the fuck. That’s what I’m saying. So Steph, if you are that Steph from wherever the fuck you live, bro—if you are that Steph—you lied to us all. You told us you were fucking Canadian. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute—are you actually that Steph? No fucking way. You lied to all of us this whole time and pretended to be Canadian? No, that was not—I didn’t ask if you were from Canada. I said, are you the same Steph who was second cousins with John O’Keefe and did you come on this channel and go on a Zoom call with me representing yourself to be Canadian from Saskatchewan? I don’t even have—no, that is not the question I’m asking you. Are you the same Steph that is second cousins with John O’Keefe? Thanks for letting us know. See what I mean? Kristina, it’s not the same Steph. It’s just some random person who really likes Leigha Genduso, Leigha Bathtub Genduso, and Kate Peter. Random coincidence! Just totally random. Come on. I’m rolling my eyes so hard I’m laughing. This has been really interesting though. I know you said no. That makes it even weirder. If you’re not that Steph, your fervent defense of Kate Peter and Leigha Bathtub Genduso is even more weird. Go back to Discord. Come on now, shoo. You’re bothering me. If you bother me too much, I’m just going to go on a 45-minute rant eviscerating Kate Peter with facts, all right? So it’s better to just go. Like I told Benny Sweatpants the other day. Send him my regards, all right? No, I like calling out your hypocrisy. You wouldn’t say a negative word about Kate Peter if I demonstrated the factual record for you in real time. Live! Which I’m doing. You haven’t addressed one element of it on substance. All you’ve done is gaslight, and frankly you’re going to find yourself removed if you continue to fail to adhere to the rules of Towel Channel. As you know, the rules of Towel Channel are pretty simple, which is: one, don’t be discriminatory; two, don’t be derogatory; three, don’t sealion; four, don’t gaslight; and five, no Kate Peters. All right? Jay’s like, “I’m aboard the Grant train.” Thanks, Jay. It wasn’t one question, Steph. It was three questions. Let me reiterate them to you very quickly. Number one, Steph, please address the fact—please address why Kate Peter’s February 24, 2024 email to Ken Mello was not turned over in the 5,000 pages of emails that Robert Cosgrove spent seven months putting together that were between Kate Peter and Ken Mello and Kate Peter and Brian Tully. Why was that February 24, 2024 email not turned over? Secondly, is the fact that those emails were turned over—despite the fact that it wasn’t a full turnover of emails—in August of 2025 tie into why the Lindsey Gaetani charges involving Aiden were dismissed? Second question: is the fact that Kate Peter—now we know from these documents—directly handled two pieces of key evidence in the Gaetani indictments involving Kearney the reason why, coupled with the August 2025 disclosure of those manipulated email records between Tully and Kate and Kate Peter and Ken Mello, was that the reason why the 2024 indictments involving Lindsey Gaetani were actually null-prossed? Time to answer some tough questions, Steph. And furthermore, why was that audio of Leigha Genduso not included in the extraction that Brian Tully released completely unredacted in April of 2024? And why have you never said a word about how Tully manipulated that extraction to remove messages from Tully to Lindsey and from Kate to Lindsey before releasing it? And Tully apparently didn’t include Leigha Genduso’s audio message that is now part of the public court record. Yes, Steph, you can’t address it on merit, you can’t, because you’re not here to do that, are you? You’re here to vacuously distract with nonsensical emotional rhetoric. And I will not stand for it. No, I’ll continue reading. It’ll get worse before it gets better, Steph. I’ll tell you that right now. No, she did not, Steph. I’ll tell you what, right now. You know how I know? Because look at Steph, it was posted on social media. Oh, Steph, it was posted on social media and not included in the extraction. So how could Lindsey have deleted it? Lindsey saved it, because Tully didn’t include it in the extraction, and then Lindsey dropped it on social media. And that proves it. That absolutely proves it. All right, so Steph, if you don’t know and don’t care, that’s the end of this discussion. If we have to move you on begrudgingly, we will. But as of now, you can’t address any of this on merit. You don’t know the factual record. You’re getting humiliated. And furthermore, I’m sending a message through you to Kate that her moles are not welcome here. So, well, yeah, but no, that’s not—hold on, do you realize, Steph, the point is not where it was posted. It was that the audio file exists. If it was not on Lindsey’s phone when they did the extraction, she couldn’t have it. But she still has it. There you go. So, listen, oh, I knew we were onto something. I didn’t know it was this bad, Steph. You shouldn’t have tipped Kate’s hand like this, by the way. The reacting that way is only making me aware that this is the whole kitten caboodle. No, Steph, again, you have no standing to stand up for anyone, call anyone anything, or otherwise say anything here, because you will not address the merits of the argument. You just admitted you don’t care about the filings, you don’t know the details, and you refuse to engage. So therefore, we’re done. Oh, it’s such a shame. All right, I gotta move her on. All right, Steph, it was great. We’ll put you in a little timeout. You can come back tomorrow, okay? I’m glad you spent some time with us, but the reality is I just don’t—I don’t wanna play that type of Kate Peter game, all right? Yep, now, Christina, you, as you know, this channel in Br… every possible perspective. I don’t care what you want to come in here and believe, you know you and I align on a lot of the factual record about a lot of these different cases. It’s not that. I’ll never ever have a problem with that. It’s the bad faith—and it’s not you, Christina. You are wonderful. You’ve never done it—but it’s the people who get too close to Kate Peter and then as embodied in that colloquy with Steph right there, whoever the fuck she is, we still don’t know. As embodied in that colloquy, you have a situation where when confronted with the facts instead of responding or even giving the time of day to what Kate Peter or Tully or Cosgrove might have done wrong, immediately it starts with the emotional manipulation, the attacks, the distraction. So I hope that—I hope that tells us all something. But yes, let’s keep reading because before I got in that fun colloquy, we were—I bet Steph was sent here to try to derail me. Nice try, Steph, take it elsewhere. All right, so we got those two posts up, by the way. All right, following service. Do you remember where we were in all this? The very last—so we just read about the Kate emails. By the way, now we know the whole Kate and Kaboodle is the Kate emails. We just read about the Kate emails and take a look where it goes next. All right, it just keeps going and going. Oh, do you think I should add Kate, Steph to the chart, by the way? Where should she go on the chart? Should she go under the Trollhollmio section? I feel like that’s appropriate. You know, this is just my opinion of how all these people tie together. Say you got Kate Peter, the Lord of Darkness in the middle—that’s my opinion. Then you got Jamz up there, Llama over there, Jason Broyles down here, Gaffney over here, Trollhollomio here. Then you got people like Critical Mass, Virgil, that—I don’t know who that is. And then you got Tully, Michael Morrissey, and Michael Proctor. Then you got Jake Sun, Twisted Tragedies tied to Gaffney. Then you got that guy, Jason Broyles, who thinks—who pretends to be a woman online. You got him, I think he’s tied to Barry Lewis and this weird woman from Connecticut that Kate keeps working with. She used to pretend to be like an advocate for medical patients, but now apparently she’s a big advocate of prednisone. I don’t really understand. She’s been going online telling people that people with colitis have to use prednisone apparently and they can’t use cannabis. I’m baffled by it. I didn’t know she was a doctor. Listen, if I knew that this woman was a doctor, I would start looking to whether she’s received payments from the pharmaceutical industry because I’ve never met a cannabis advocate who tells people they have to use prednisone for colitis. So that woman baffles me. Also, she’s the reason consumption event in Massachusetts are now regulated by the CCC. So listen, you all think that Kate Peter’s just some kind of like moron. She just plays that role, okay? Like she plays like she doesn’t know what she’s talking about and she doesn’t mostly with these court developments. But look at her network. Like people fawn over her like TurtleBoy. She is the female TurtleBoy in so many ways. And what makes her scary is she doesn’t own it.

RHP Patrick Forbes (Louisville Baseball) is an intriguing college arm to keep close tabs on this spring. Last year was Forbes' first focusing solely on pitching, and across 29 innings (12 appearances, 4 starts) he worked a 3.72 ERA with 32 Ks to 15 BB. Proceeded to have a great summer circuit that was split between Team USA and the Cape. On the Cape, Forbes was excellent and pitched his way to a 3.29 ERA with 22 Ks to 6 BB in 13.2 innings. Forbes has a strong, athletic build at 6-foot-3 and 215-pounds. Physicality throughout, some length in his lower-half. Compact, explosive delivery with a short, whippy arm stroke and plenty of arm speed. Attacks from a low-three quarter slot, ultra-high leg lift and really drives his back side through. Moves really well on the mound, high-level athlete. Relies heavily on his mid-90s fastball that he threw 77% of the time last spring. Sat 93-95 and topped out at 97, has been up to 98 this fall. Plenty of life through the zone with some ride in the top 1/3. Also plays well in the bottom 1/3. High-spin pitch that last year averaged North of 2,500 RPMs. Explodes out of his ~5'3" release height. Kind of a dead zone profile, but spin/release traits help compensate for it a little bit. Key is just staying out of the middle. 25% miss rate last year, good number especially given the usage. Supplements his FB with a high-70s-to-low-80s SL. Tight, two-plane tilt. Still gaining feel for the pitch and the shape can be a little inconsistent at times, but it will really flash. Will sometimes take on a true sweeper look that looks like a real weapon. Also throws a high-70s-to-low-80s CB. The shape will blend with his SL at times, but it will flash depth with sharp, downward bite. SL is definitely the better of the two - 41% miss rate last spring. Forbes rounds out his arsenal with a high-80s-to-low-90s power CH. Hardly ever uses it (5% usage in '24) but at times it showed serious late fade to the arm side with some tumble. Command can waver, but it's gotten better year-over-year and took another step forward this summer. Low mileage arm with plenty of upside. Bulldog mentality on the mound, checks a ton of boxes between his "now" stuff and athleticism. Certainly some reliever risk, but there's easy stuff to clean up across the board that will help maximize his chance to start. Day 1 upside this July.

The Cover Up: It is a fact that the 9/11 Commission engaged in a cover-up, and several of its members have said so on the record for more than a decade. But what exactly is being covered up? WTC Building 7: A 47-story building collapsing onto itself because of residual fires and structural damage might seem implausible at first glance, but if the building had been rigged with explosives then why were there no signature outward explosions like you would see in other controlled demolitions and why did the collapse look different from other examples? Also, if the building had been detonated, it would have been the largest and tallest building ever brought down by explosives (even today), and it would have had to be rigged over weeks if not months in absolute secrecy. Insider Trading: Just as with the collapse of WTC 7, the options trading activity on American Arlines (AMR) and United Airlines (UAL) stock in the days leading up to the 9/11 attacks may seem damning at first glance, but is it really? Here are four points to consider: (1) According to the 9/11 commission’s own report, a single U.S.-based institutional investor with “no conceivable ties to al Qaeda” purchased 95 percent of the UAL puts on September 6 as part of a trading strategy that also included BUYING 115,000 shares of AMR on September 10 (worth ~$3.4 million on the morning of 9/11). (2) Similarly, much of the seemingly suspicious trading in AMR on September 10 (resulting in an unusually high put/call ratio of 6.09) was traced to a specific U.S.-based options trading newsletter, faxed to its subscribers on Sunday, September 9, which recommended these trades. It is also worth noting that exactly one month later on November 12th, American Airlines Flight 587 crashed shortly after taking off from JFK, killing all 251 passengers and 9 crew on board. Three days before that crash the put/call ratio on American Airlines’ parent company was nearly 8. So how unusual is 6.09 really and why wasn't this crash also an example of insider trading? (3) Furthermore, the purchasing of stock options does not itself imply a directional bet. More often than not, options are used as part of a hedging strategy, so simply noticing that a company or individual has taken out a short position on a company does not itself imply that his or her portfolio will benefit financially if the stock falls and certainly not by the amount implied from the options purchase alone. (4) Lastly, it was reported by Bloomberg News on September 20, 2001 that insurance companies saw anomalous trading activities as well ahead of the attacks. Specifically, Citigroup Inc., which had estimated that its Travelers insurance unit would potentially have to pay $500 million in claims from the attacks, had about 45 times the normal volume during three trading days before the attack for options that profit if the stock falls below $40. Citigroup shares did indeed fall slightly below that target. While the options trading on AMR and UAL seem less likely to have been insider trading given the explanations provided and the easy traceability of the trades, the multi-step trade on Citigroup’s share warrants a better explanation IMO. That said, one may have already been provided, in which case, the public should be made aware of what it is if that hasn't already happened. What is Being Covered Up? While I’ve reviewed a decent amount of material on 9/11 in the last 24 years and spoken with many primary sources, the best book I can recommend that provides a more believable explanation for the nature and intentions behind some of the cover up can be found in Ray Nowosielski’s and John Duffy’s “The Watchdogs Didn't Bark”. Both authors appeared on the Hidden Forces podcast last September, as has former 9/11 commission member senator Senator Bob Kerry in 2018 and again in 2024. I should also mention that while the authors are well-intentioned, intelligent, and caring people, I’ve also received critical feedback about their interpretation of the facts from people who are in a position to know, muddying my confidence in event their own explanations. This said, it is clear that there was a cover up and that the cover up extends to the CIA and to the Saudi Royal family, but how benign the explanation may be will probably never be known conclusively. Concluding Thoughts If history is any guide, 9/11 is one of many historical events about which endless information will be reproduced, almost entirely in the form of fiction to feed an insatiable demand by the public for meaning-making and entertainment. The more interesting (and answerable) question to me, as someone who lived a mere 15-min walking distance from the twin towers on that day is why after so many years has this topic and others like it been elevated to the highest levels of public consciousness in my lifetime? I have a thoughtful answer, which is informed not only by my investigations into the subject, but also by my own life experience having been black-pilled in the early 2000s on this topic, knowing many of the early players involved in unearthing its details, and having been the creator and producer of a popular daily news program on Russia Today, on which much of today’s most popular right-wing programming would fit perfectly. If I had the time, I would write it all down, and maybe I will one day or perhaps record a podcast series on it. I'd like to, because we are living through the most profound cultural and political revolutions in American history and I don't know how many people truly understand how far back (and where) it all leads...

On February 26, 1993, at 12:05pm, Ramzi Yousef and Eyad Ismoil parked a rented van on the underground B-2 parking level of the World Trade Center, lit four twenty-foot time fuses and walked away. Yousef stood just off Canal Street as he counted down the minutes waiting to watch the Twin Towers topple into one another and kill what he estimated to be 250,000 people. Twelve minutes later the 1300-pound urea nitrate / bottled nitrogen enhanced charge detonated and ushered in a new generation of terrorism on U.S. soil. Six people were killed and over a thousand were injured. Yousef’s plan to bring down the towers may have been thwarted by parking a few feet off target in the parking garage. For under a thousand dollars Yousef caused over $500 million in damages. That night he boarded a plane for Pakistan. Eight years later, al-Qaeda would take the lessons of 1993 and try again. Five months earlier, Ramzi Yousef had landed at JFK International Airport on a false Iraqi passport. He was introduced to his six conspirators through Omar Abdel-Rahman, better known as the blind sheik, a man who was on a State Department terrorist watch list and had issued fatwas in Egypt and America calling for the murder of U.S. citizens. His efforts were funded by a man named Osama bin Laden. In the rubble, the Joint Terrorism Task Force discovered a vehicle identification number that matched a van rented and then reported stolen by Mohammad Salameh. His arrest on March 4th as he tried to get his $400 deposit back from the rental company led to the arrest and convictions of Nidal Ayyad, Mahmoud Abouhalima, Ahmed Ajaj, and Eyad Ismoil. Yousef was captured in Pakistan in 1995. He is currently serving two life sentences plus 240 years in solitary confinement in Supermax Prison ADX Florence in Colorado. In October 1995, Abdel-Rahman was indicted for his involvement in the plot. He would die in prison serving a life term. Almost three decades later, one conspirator from the attack is still at large. On April 4, 2005, the U.S. State Department offered a $5 million dollar reward for information leading to the arrest of Abdul Rahman Yasin. His current whereabouts remain unknown.

Today, I want to share two big lessons I learnt in the past one month. So here’s what happened. It all started with an unexpected physical setback of all places in Port Blair (now Sri Vijayapuram) on 20th December. That morning, I suddenly suffered what is called in medical terms, bilateral foot drop, meaning I lost all power in my feet. I couldn’t walk without support (the 1st video shows the limpness in feet); Somehow, I got back to Delhi on a wheelchair. As I consulted Dr Satnam Chhabra, renowned neurosurgeon (he had treated me earlier) at the Gangaram Hospital. He was worried and immediately recommended surgery since my L-4 disc was compressing the nerve. As I was mentally preparing to undergo the surgery in the last week of 2024, many dark and negative thoughts were playing in the mind (will I have to spend rest of my life on wheelchair? Will prolonged sitting and writing be a problem?) My immediate family was equally worried since we were told, it normally takes 6-7 months of intense physiotherapy and exercise to regain the strength and ‘flex’ in my feet even after the surgery. As I waited for the scheduled day of surgery and as the year was ebbing away, pessimism was creeping in. Then a friend suggested I consult Dr Sandeep Vaishya, another highly-skilled neurosurgeon and executive director of Fortis Hospitals. Thanks to this friend, Dr Sandeep said he will carry out a ‘key-hole’ surgery, which is quicker than an open surgery and takes lesser time to heal. So, on 30th December, I was wheeled into the operation theatre. Five hours later, I was back in the room and by evening, the hospital physiotherapist made me walk, albeit with support (2nd video). As the New Year dawned, I was back home! Now came the part entirely dependent on my own mental and physical strength, support and care by my wife and children. Thus began the recovery process. After a weeklong break, our websites and YT channels were back to work in the meantime. Since I know nothing else but work, it was hard to stay away from office. So, I took courage in both hands and went to office on 3rd January so as to assess my own ability to recover quickly (3rd video). Two weeks since then, life is almost back to normal (4th video, welcoming Nana Patekar to office on 17th January). I like to consider myself as a practical, take-life-as-it-comes-kind of a guy. And so far life has indeed been a busy, fulfilling journey with no time to philosophise much but the last 30 days have taught me to think deeper. Why am I sharing these details? Because of two reasons: A reinforcement of my own long-held belief that life can be extremely uncertain and therefore one must live in the moment, enjoy every opportunity that comes one’s way to achieve whatever your aim in life is and not plan too much for the future. And two, family, friends and their support is the greatest wealth one can acquire. Celebrate them and this incredible gift called life. Rest is all peripheral.

Breaking News🇬🇧⚡️: Top Manchester Cop Caught In Another Catastrophic Blunder - "On behalf of Greater Manchester Police I offer my sincere apologies for the mishandling of the grooming gangs in Manchester cases". Manchester Police Chief Stephen Watson back in 2024 - now at the centre of mobile phone data cover up allegations where Islamic terrorist want to blow up UK Army bases. Once again Andy Burnham appointed Chief of Great Manchester Police, Stephen Watson is caught looking the other way placing British lives at risk, including those of our Armed Forces. Another inexcusable fuck up endangering the lives of innocent civilians and British military - or as Greater Manchester Police whitewash it a "missed opportunity". Mohammad Asim Bashir, 31, last ‌month admitted driving Jihad Al-Shamie to the UK Defence Academy in Oxfordshire, central England, in August 2025 to carry out hostile reconnaissance. It doesn't end there GMP to possibly stop a deadly attack on a Manchester synagogue last year, as an associate of the attacker was jailed ​for helping carry out earlier reconnaissance on a UK defence site. Prosecutors said at Bashir's sentencing at Manchester Crown Court this ​week that Al-Shamie was arrested twice before his fatal attack; in February 2025 for allegedly breaching ​a non-molestation order and again in September for an alleged rape. His mobile devices were seized but it was not ‌until ⁠after Al-Shamie's attack that the material on them was examined, the court heard. Chief Constable Stephen Watson from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said in a statement that he was "deeply sorry" that the force did not review the data which contained significant evidence of Al-Shamie's mindset. The Andy Burnham appointed Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Stephen Watson Police issued an apology in January 2024 to grooming gang victims in Rochdale. His apology came following a report into grooming in the town found police failed to protect hundreds of young girls. One has to ask how can Chief Constable Stephen Watson still have a job as well as former Manchester Mayor and now selected PM Andy Burnham still have jobs when their actions have resulted in such wilful incompetence threatening our national security and civilian population alike? Prosecutors said Bashir had driven Al-Shamie on a 10-hour round trip from Manchester to the ​UK Defence Academy, which provides defence and security education to armed forces ​and government personnel, ⁠in August 2025. In October that year, Al-Shamie attacked the Heaton Park synagogue before calling police and saying: "I pledge allegiance to the Islamic State and I have killed two Jews." GMP's Watson said it was for ⁠the ​Independent Office for Police Conduct and inquests into the deaths ​to "determine the impact of not reviewing the contents of the devices". "There can, however, be little doubt that the information contained ​within these devices would have inspired further investigative action," he added.

10 Lessons From Fred Smith, the founder of FedEx 1. Not trying guarantees failure: Fred Smith spent his childhood in leg braces. Doctors said he’d never walk normally. Through thousands of hours of excruciating therapy, he didn’t just walk; he became a varsity athlete. “Fear of failure must never be a reason not to try something,” he’d later say. When everyone said overnight delivery was impossible, he remembered the doctors who said he’d never play sports. 2. The power of incentives: The Memphis hub was a nightly disaster. Planes had to land, unload, sort, and reload in hours. Nothing worked until someone noticed the obvious: they paid workers by the hour. The longer it took, the more they earned. FedEx switched to paying by the shift. Same pay, go home when you’re done. The sort suddenly ran like clockwork. Charlie Munger loved this story: “Never, ever, think about something else when you should be thinking about the power of incentives.” 3. Loyalty is earned in the trenches: In Vietnam, Smith learned soldiers don’t fight for politicians; they fight for the person next to them. Years later, when FedEx ran out of money, employees worked without pay. Pilots used personal credit cards for fuel. Not because they had to. Because of the loyalty that was earned in the trenches. 4. Become a learning machine: Fred Smith read four hours a day. Every day. “People who supposedly have vision spend a lot of time reading and gathering information, then synthesize it until they come up with an idea,” he explained. All that reading showed him something nobody else saw: people would soon care more about tracking their package than getting it fast. 5. Take care of your people and they will take care of you. In 1974, investors moved to fire Smith. Every senior officer signed the same letter: fire him, and we all walk. One was even offered the presidency as a bribe. (He refused.) This was People-Service-Profit in action. The order of those words is important. People first, then service, then profit. Not the other way around. Most companies put this stuff on motivational posters. At FedEx, people bet their careers on it. 6. Reliability is rare. Speed without predictability is useless. FedEx guaranteed overnight delivery or your money back, a feat that seemed impossible at the time. The guarantee created trust with customers and accountability internally. There were no excuses. 7. All in or all out. FedEx had $5,000 left. The planes needed $24,000 to fly on Monday. So Smith took the five grand to Vegas and turned it into $27,000 at blackjack. When investors heard this story, they didn't see a gambling problem. They saw a founder who'd already bet his inheritance, his house, everything, and was still fighting. Two weeks later, they gave him $11 million. 8. Trust is built in drips and emptied in buckets. When Smith bought Flying Tigers, he faced a choice: protect the seniority of Tigers pilots or his own FedEx pilots. He chose Tigers. The FedEx pilots—the ones who'd saved his company with their credit cards—called it "treachery." FedEx recovered financially, but the family was dead. 9. Outcome over ego. FedEx lost $629 million in Europe because Smith assumed Europeans wanted overnight delivery. They didn't. Their countries were small enough that regular trucks worked fine. Rather than double down to save face, Smith killed the entire operation. Most CEOs would have thrown another billion at the problem rather than admit they were wrong. They confuse stubbornness with strength. But Smith had learned from military history: sometimes the smartest generals are the ones who know when to retreat. 10. Bounce, but don't break. Smith survived childhood disease, his friend's death, Vietnam combat, near bankruptcy, a coup attempt, and a $629 million failure in Europe. Despite disasters that would have broken most people, he kept going and built an $88 billion empire.

New episode: Peter Thiel on How to Build a Creative Monopoly Or what I learned from reading Zero to One for the 3rd (or 4th) time: 0:00 Every great entrepreneur is first and foremost a designer. 0:21 Long-term planning is often undervalued by our indefinite short-term world. 1:24 Founders only sell when they have no more concrete visions for the company. Definitive founders with robust plans don't sell. 2:03 A startup is the largest endeavor over which you can have definitive mastery. 3:44 Don’t do anything someone else can do. 4:29 Today's best practices lead to dead ends. The best paths are new and untried. 5:05 Technology is miraculous because it allows us to do more with less, ratcheting up our fundamental capabilities to a higher level. By creating new technologies, we rewrite the plan of the world. 6:25 Indeed, the single most powerful pattern I have noticed is that successful people find value in unexpected places, and they do this by thinking about business from first principles instead of formulas. 9:16 Brilliant thinking is rare, but courage is even in shorter supply than genius. 9:53 The present is the past biting into the future. 10:37 Small groups of people bound together by a sense of mission have changed the world for the better. 11:25 This is what startup has to do: question received ideas and rethink business from scratch. 13:36 The most contrarian thing of all is not to oppose the crowd, but to think for yourself. 15:57 Creative monopoly means new products that benefit everybody and sustainable profits for its creator. 18:50 If you're interested in making things, you'll be less afraid to pursue this activity single-mindedly and thereby become incredibly good at them. 22:03 If you focus on near-term growth above all else, you miss the most important question you should be asking: Will this business still be around a decade from now? 26:30 Every monopoly dominates a large share of its market. Therefore, every startup should start with a very small market. Always err on the side of starting too small. If you think your initial market might be too big, it almost certainly is. 28:53 Competition is for losers. Avoid competition as much as possible. 29:44 The definitive person determines the one best thing to do and then does it. The definitive person strives to be great at something substantial. They strive to be a monopoly of one. 31:15 What is luck? The ability to exploit accidents. — Napoleon 33:20 We do not live in a normal world. We live under a power law. And as a result, company outcomes follow a power law. A small handful of companies radically outperform all others. 34:00 If you do start your own company, you must remember the power law to operate it well. 34:05 The most important things are singular. 36:29 Making mistakes is the privilege of the active. 38:00 The best entrepreneurs know this: Every great business is built around a secret that is hidden from the outside. A great company is a conspiracy to change the world. When you share your secret, the recipient becomes a fellow conspirator. 40:54 A small company depends on great people much more than a big company does. 41:15 The founding of a company lasts as long as a company is creating new things, and it ends when creation stops. 41:25 No company has a culture. Every company is a culture. 41:48 Since time is your most valuable asset, it is odd to spend it working with people who you don't envision any long-term future together. 42:09 Recruiting is a core competency for any company. It should never be outsourced. 42:37 Your company should be a tribe of like-minded people fiercely devoted to the company mission. 44:02 Superior sales and distribution by itself can create a monopoly, even with no product differentiation. The converse is not true. 44:24 Advertising matters because it works. It works on nerds and it works on you. 44:49 Advertising doesn't exist to make you buy a product right away. It exists to embed subtle impressions that will drive sales later. 46:29 Poor sales rather than bad product is the most common cause of failure. If you can get just one distribution channel to work, you have a great business. 49:00 When Howard Hughes was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1939 for his achievements in aviation, he didn't even show up to claim it. 52:00 The most important task in business, the creation of new value, cannot be reduced to a formula and applied by professionals.

👽 Minimal, Firsthand Legacy Witnesses? 👽 (Sorry for the Debbie Downer posts but I think most people wanna hear the truth and not have smoke blown up their ass. We're all aware of folks who do that. Maybe...in the Senate, "we have a problem that there's not been quite enough of what members in the Senate would say are firsthand sources with direct involvement in the Legacy program." ~Former Senate Staffer, Kirk McConnell (In August 2024, I was told the following by a contact: "I don’t think firsthand whistleblowers are on our horizon. Tons of credible sounding second hand, though. Some with decent credentials or rank, but none with particularly great (credentials or rank), however." I shared that on here but most people didn't wanna hear it. I'm lucky to have contacts who give it to me straight, with zero hype. Some hope? "I don't think that we have to be so discouraged by the defeat of the UAPDA for the third time." ~McConnell ~~~ Kirk McConnell: "First, let me say that I'm greatly encouraged by Mr. Rep. Eric Burlison comments. He's a he's a politician. He has a way better sense of, you know, having his finger on the pulse of the Congress and the nation than I do. "I will also say that I, respectfully, don't agree with my friend Karl Nell. I don't think that we have to be so discouraged by the defeat of the UAPDA for the third time. I think there's a lot of reasons for hope that this issue, is not gonna be in a significant down cycle. And that's what I certainly hope. As we've seen from Mr. Burlison, there is certainly a lot of energy in the house among members of the Oversight Committee, and that in itself is encouraging. "You know, I hope that what I'm about to say is not true, but I think it might be, and I definitely feel that this is maybe the case in the Senate: That maybe we have a problem that there's not been quite enough of what members in the Senate would say are firsthand sources with direct involvement in the Legacy program. Looking back on history, my sense is that Congress undertakes these really historically important investigations when it is broadly clear that there's a there there and they know kind of what the outcome [will] be, at least in its broad strokes. "You know, you think about Watergate, the Church/Pike committees, Iran Contra, all of these are examples where Congress was finally moved to not take no for an answer and to just go full-speed and full-depth into exhaustive investigations when they knew that it had to be done, and that there was a pony at the end, you know, there was something very significant at the end of the process. "So, I have been getting this feedback as well from folks I've worked with in the Senate, that there needs to be more firsthand witnesses. And how do you encourage that? I think we also hear that there's quite a number of other people out there that could come forward. Their concern, though, is, as we've seen, they feel that there's not, by any means, sufficient whistleblower protections, and that despite the existence of protections in the law on paper, that really doesn't get at the problem. And that they're fearful of losing their careers, their security clearances, which translates into their careers, and that they're gonna suffer immense, legal expenses and perhaps legal jeopardy. So I think whistleblower protection is extremely important. "That said, it's really hard to get whistleblower protections passed in Congress. And so you have a kind of Catch-22, and I think that's the kind of problem that needs to be overcome, incrementally. So, I also would say that it's obvious that Congress is heavily influenced by public opinion, of course, and it's really important to keep up the pressure. But that in turn, you know, the public is motivated by what they see in the news and what they hear about from from experts, and therefore, you know, that's another dependency here, "But on that score, you know one of our panelists here, Dr. Anna Brady-Estevez, I loved when she, with a bright smile on her face, has said repeatedly that, in a sense, disclosure has already happened, or is certainly happening. A significant fraction of the population believes that we are being visited by non-human intelligence and that this belief is only likely to grow. The scientific community is much more friendly to this issue than in the past. "I would also say that the NHI itself gets a vote here, and they drive a lot of this. How much interaction are they going to....how much are they going to expose what they're doing and what they're doing here? And yet, at the same time, we've got an awful lot of people out there now with the ability to, and the interest in, detecting and tracking and trying to document what is happening out there. You think about efforts like the Galileo Project, Garry P. Nolan at the The Sol Foundation and Stanford, Beatriz Villarroel and the astrophysics community, and many others are tracking fundamental aspects of this problem. And a number of scientists and engineers working on new physics concepts to explain UAP characteristics and behavior is unprecedented. You know, you think about Skywatcher as another example of a private initiative. "There's also the experiencer community, you know, the people who have had actual direct interactions, and certainly a large number of folks who report abduction experiences, who retain the ability to communicate with NHI. This can be used, and is very likely to be used or exploited to gain insight into physics and intentions and so forth. "So, I'm actually on the optimistic side. I think with work and perseverance of groups like this, we can continue to amp up the interest and the pressure on the part of the American people, and that will translate into action by the government."

I closed 3 major deals as a result of an event I attended last year 😌 It’s one thing to attend a high profile event in your niche, take pictures and show you were there, it’s a totally different thing from being able to close deals, or for that event to have a positive life changing impact on your career. September last year, I attended the Africa Money & DeFi Summit - Accra Sept 24&25 2025 and thanks to the event, i met a lot of thought leaders in the industry (Web2 and Web3 incisive). I was opportune to be a speaker at that event, and while I made the most off my 20mins on that stage, I even got more opportunities during the 15hours I spent outside the stage. This same event will be happening 3rd & 4th of October this year, and I realized some people from here will also be attending. Here are some tips I followed that helped me yield good results from attending the event. These tips can also be applied to other tech events. ————— 1. Research and Plan Ahead: I was able to familiarize myself with the event schedule, speakers and exhibitors. Africa Money & DeFi Summit - Accra Sept 24&25 2025 always share this info with everyone who registers for the event at least 1week before the event. Thanks to this, I was able to check out some of the speakers on LinkedIn, and even scheduled meetings with a lot of them before hand. ————— 2. Network Strategically: Prepare your elevator pitch, and also have your business cards ready. For every person that reached out to me, or people I reached out to during the event, I was able to hold conversations with genuine interest in their work and was always willing to share what I do. ————— 3. Stay Informed: Keep up-to-date with industry news and trends. This always help when you engage in meaning discussions with fellow attendees. As you can see on the short clip attached to this tweet, I was talking about Real Yield, and this was just before it officially became a buzz in the DeFi Space. I used the info as well as others to helped lock down conversations. ————— 4. Dress Appropriately: Always aim for professional attire for events like these. People who attend these events come there to do business, so you’ll always find them dressed professionally. The 2 images I attached to this post are from the 2days of the event, I’m sure you can see how professionally dressed I was. It’s better to be slightly overdressed than underdressed. ————— 5. Engage in Q&A Sessions: Don’t hesitate to ask questions during talks or presentations. It demonstrates your interest and can lead to insightful discussions. By insightful discussions, I mean discussions after the session or even after the event. Conversations can easily start as a result of the question you asked, so take a chance on it. ————— To keep this tweet short, I’ll be stopping here but will drop my other tips as a part 2 for this. If you learnt something from the above tips, or saw one you’d like to implement on your next event, do well to tell me on the comment section 👇🏽 Don’t forget to Like 💙and Repost 🔄this post, someone from your audience might need it.

LINK & INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO ATTEND OUR FEDERAL COURT HEARING VIA ZOOM NEXT MONDAY *Repost & share - We need to show the court that there is still very much public interest in this incredibly important landmark case. No government can be allowed to invoke such vile overreaching and tyrannical charter/human rights violations on Canadians ever again. Vaccine Travel Mandates lawsuit Hearing Date: November 3rd, 2025 - 1pm EST Case/file #: T-2536-23 - SHAUN RICKARD ET AL. v. HMK ET AL If you would like to attend the hearing virtually, please follow this link. Scroll down, go to page 2 and and click on the little green box with the pen (see attached screenshot). Then enter your information, click register and you will be sent an e-mail confirmation: *Please note, the hearing will now be held at the Federal Court in Toronto, not the Federal Court of Appeal as originally thought: 180 Queen St W Toronto ON M5V 1Z4 If you would like to attend in person, please contact the Clerk at the Federal Court and quote the file # above: T: 416-973-3356 E: [email protected] Where we are at with the case: After nearly 4 years, the 15,000 pages of evidence – including some extremely damning/incriminating details – is getting closer to Court. Further to the Federal Court ruling that our landmark action can go to trial, the appeal to ensure the whole action can proceed will be heard on November 3rd, 2025 in the Federal Court of Appeal in Toronto. Further to our earlier and full update below from January 9th of this year, we now now move a step closer to the opportunity to fully hold the Liberal government, and Justin Trudeau, to account in court. Their divisive, cruel and unscientific overreach in imposing a nearly 9 months ban on unvaccinated Canadians and Permanent Residents from travelling on planes, trains and ships caused hardship and damage to millions of people in Canada. The hard work of our talented young lawyer, Sam Presvelos, paid off in June 2022 when evidence emerging in discovery in those earlier stages of the case caused then Attorney General David Lametti to reconsider the government’s position and the ‘vaccine mandate for travel’ was suspended with the implicit threat being made that they would do it again if they wanted to do so. In a moment of respite those millions of people, denied their fundamental Section 6 rights for nearly 9 months, could once again travel to see their loved ones and family events; to work; and to take much needed vacation time. This appeal, which will be heard at the Federal Court of Appeal in Toronto on November 3rd at 1pm Eastern Time, will consider whether Justice Kent Horne erred when he allowed the government’s motion to strike out two parts of our claim – those parts in relation to s.7 and s.12 of the Charter. Justice Horne allowed those parts in relation to s6 and s15 to go ahead to trial pending the outcome of this appeal and any further appeals that may follow. s.7 (life, liberty, security) deals with crucial rights that permit us all to decide for ourselves what happens to our body. We believe that the choice to accept a vaccine or not should be free of any sort of coercion or detrimental consequences imposed by any authority. They do not accept that the bar to their success in relation to s.7 is so high as to have no reasonable prospect of success and that their arguments should be allowed to proceed to trial. s.12 (cruel/unusual punishment) is normally heard in relation to the cruel and unusual punishment of people in the criminal justice system in relation to penal sanctions. We believe that then Prime Minister Trudeau developed the vaccine mandate as a deliberately cruel and unusual punishment for those Canadians who were exercising their s7 right to refuse the Covid-19 vaccines and, at the same time to use that punishment very publicly as a political campaign promise and ‘wedge issue’ in the 2021 General Election. The appeal will not be easy, but our case is in great hands with Sam Presvelos, the young litigator who achieved so much for millions of people in Canada who were, until June 2022, denied the right to even leave their country! If we succeed the government may then try to further appeal the decision to the Supreme Court of Canada. It is very apparent that they do not want this case to be heard and particularly, perhaps, the s.7 arguments. If we are unsuccessful at this stage, they may take their arguments to the Supreme Court. We want to have our arguments and evidence heard on all four Sections 6,7,12 and 15.
