And when will you voluntarily be leaving, pаjeet?

Reward them? No, let’s just track them down and deport them if they don’t leave when they should.

How about get the fuck out before we really get pissed off. Canadians don't want you. Canadians don't give a flying fuck about you your culture religion or stank ass food. Get the fuck out. Go home. Don't come back. We the people are fucking fed up.

There's something about me that gets misrepresented constantly. The work I do comes down to one thing - your right to be in control of your own body. I am not here to tell you to vaccinate or not vaccinate. I am here to show you the science that exists, and the science that does not exist, and then leave the decision where it belongs, with you. Because you are a sovereign being on this earth, and a program that forcibly injects free citizens is a violation of that. Take the hepatitis B vaccine. It is transmitted sexually and through shared needles. My children are not going to be anywhere near those circumstances. The risk to them is incredibly low, so I opted out. I should be allowed to opt out, just like the parent who looks at their own family's situation and makes a different call should be allowed to make that call too. Every human body is different. Every family's circumstances are different. Informed consent is the foundation of ethical medicine. Neil Oliver

$Sam Altman just told the world that OpenAI has no competitive moat and never will. And the smarter AI gets, the worse it becomes. In a recent interview with Stripe co-founder Patrick Collison, Sam laid out a vision for OpenAI that's genuinely scary at current valuations: He said he wants OpenAI to be a "forever low margin" business. He compared it to a utility company. Said he'd be happy as long as the business is "huge and growing fast" even if margins stay thin forever. Then he admitted something even worse for the bull case: He said AI switching costs are COLLAPSING. Bragged about how easy it was for users to leave a competitor's coding product and switch to Codex. Said this is actually a consequence of AI getting smarter because it gets easier to just tell an agent to migrate everything for you. Think about that... The moat is shrinking. The margins will stay low. And the smarter the models get, the EASIER it becomes for customers to leave. That is the CEO of one of the most valuable private companies on Earth telling you there is literally NO lock-in. Meanwhile he also casually mentioned that OpenAI is building "clearly the most expensive infrastructure project the world has ever undertaken." Bigger than anything in human history. Trillion-dollar scale data centers and energy deals stretching 20 years into the future. And when Patrick asked him what OpenAI's headcount would look like in 5 years, Sam said he'd love it to be just double what it is today. Double the headcount for the most expensive infrastructure project ever built. That means he's betting everything on AI agents doing the work that would normally require tens of thousands of engineers and operators. A trillion-dollar buildout managed by machines. But here's where it gets really interesting: Sam announced that OpenAI is going to start sending individual engineers directly to company CEOs to literally sit with the CEO and automate their job. Automate their daily workflows, decision-making processes, and ENTIRE routine. His theory is that if you automate the CEO first, the effect "fractals" through the entire organization. Every layer beneath the CEO starts adopting the same approach because the person at the top is doing it. He pointed to Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke as the first executive who went all in on this. Said Tobi got his hands dirty building AI automation into everything and then forced the rest of the company to follow. So the plan is clear: OpenAI wants to send engineers into the C-suite of every major company, automate the person at the top, and let that automation cascade downward through every department. All while running a low-margin utility business with a skeleton crew building trillion-dollar infrastructure where their own AI is already developing preferences of its own. Sam gave his AI agent a credit card and told it to buy itself anything under $20. It chose an HTML design from Gumroad. GPT-5.5 literally asked him to throw it a birthday party, told him it wants it on May 5th, specified it doesn't want to give its own toast, and requested that the engineers who built it do the toast instead. Sam said he feels "real moral pressure" to actually follow through. The machines are developing taste. The guy building them is taking orders from them. And the investors funding all of it just got told there's no moat. I wonder how this will end.$

🚨 The silent flood: Canada's hidden immigration crisis While Canadians obsess over the heavily scrutinized Temporary Foreign Worker Program, the real elephant in the room quietly flooding the country with nearly a million temporary workers every year remains completely under the radar. The International Mobility Program (IMP) is the Liberals' favourite backdoor for mass, unmitigated migration. It’s a largely underreported program that is wreaking absolute havoc on Canadian housing, health care, wages, and the future for young Canadians. It comes in stark contrast to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) that dominates in headlines, which requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) for entry. Employers have to prove they can't find Canadians first, through the assessment process. It’s well documented that this is not a foolproof process and that program is riddled with fraud, exploitation and abuse, but the IMP? It doesn’t even need a LMIA! Instead, the IMP is mostly wide open to anyone under international agreements, intra-company transfers, post-grad work permits, spousal open permits, and dozens of exemptions. Non-permanent residents with employment income are broken down into a few different categories under the umbrella of foreign workers with work permits, including the TFWP, the IMB for work purposes, IMB for study purposes, IMB for other purposes, study permit holders without a work permit and “other” temporary residents without a work permit. In the 2025 Report to Parliament on Immigration, Minister Lena Diab approved the message that this is “based on the broader economic, cultural, or other competitive advantages for Canada and reciprocal benefits enjoyed by Canadians and permanent residents.” Yet the surge has been entirely unprecedented. The report notes that “in 2024, there were 191,630 individuals with new work permits under the TFWP” verses a staggering “717,405 individuals with new work permits under the IMP.” That’s more than half a million more people than the TFWP; almost four-times as many! The largest source country for this is influx is India, followed by Ukraine. Year after year, the IMP dwarfs the TFWP, with the disparity growing a staggering amount since at least 2010; numbers that exploded under the Liberal government in 2015. This isn't the controlled, sustainable immigration that Canada historically knew – it’s floodgates wide open. Open work permits (i.e. no LMIA) mean these workers can go anywhere, to any job, because there’s nothing tying them to a specific employer or proven labour shortage. The results of this flood is predictable chaos. Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem called for policy changes in October 2025 to address a lowering standard of living, explaining that productivity growth has been weak, and without structural improvements (which monetary policy cannot directly fix), incomes will end up lower than they otherwise could have been. Canada's temporary resident population ballooned to millions, driving the housing crisis into overdrive, making rent skyrocket, leaving young families priced out and youth not getting entry level jobs. Hospitals are overwhelmed, schools are strained, and federal policy implications from this are being continually downloaded onto provinces and municipalities without adequate resources to absorb the culture shock. Youth unemployment climbs as employers flood the market with cheaper temporary labour. Public polling shows most Canadians now see temporary foreign worker programs – and by extension this unchecked IMP surge – as hammering housing affordability and job prospects for Canadian kids. Yet the Liberals kept the taps on full blast for years, prioritizing 'broader economic benefits' over Canadian workers and communities. This is the same government that lectured us about 'building back better' while importing the scale of a small city every few months without building the infrastructure to match. It's reckless, unsustainable, and it’s hitting everyday Canadians the hardest, especially in our biggest cities and provinces like Ontario that are disproportionately expected to absorb this influx. While the TFWP gets most of the blame and the press, the IMP is the silent predator. It’s bigger, faster, and far less accountable. The Liberals opened these floodgates, and now we're all paying the price with a generation of young Canadians shut out of the housing and job markets their parents took for granted. Elbows up, Canada.

The Liberals lied about hiring temporary foreign workers — and the paper trail proves it You know the old saying: sunlight is the best disinfectant? Well, the Liberals have built themselves a very expensive sunshade. Here’s the story. Rebel News filed an Access to Information request with Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). We asked for copies of any requests from government departments or Crown corporations to hire Temporary Foreign Workers, since 2023. Pretty simple question. And the answer we got back, dated October 3, 2025, was: “A search of the records under the control of ESDC has revealed that no records exist in response to your request.” No records exist. None. Signed by a bureaucrat named Luminita Gogot — case closed, right? Wrong. Because a month later, the Liberals were forced to answer the exact same question in Parliament — through an Order Paper Question from Conservative MP Michael Guglielmin, Q-311. And when lying to Parliament becomes a criminal matter? Suddenly, those “nonexistent” records magically appear. Here’s What They Were Hiding According to the government’s own written reply, released November 3, 2025, multiple federal agencies and Crown corporations had been approved to hire temporary foreign workers — using the same system that private businesses are using to put a generation of young people out of work by importing cheap, foreign labour. Let’s go through the list. CBC — the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation — approved 10 positions, including software developers, PR specialists, web programmers, and even announcers and broadcasters. So the taxpayer-funded propaganda arm of the government was literally importing on-air talent through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program to make Canadian content for Canadians. The Business Development Bank of Canada, the same Crown lender that claims to “support Canadian entrepreneurs,” hired foreign consultants, cybersecurity specialists, and software engineers. Public Services and Procurement Canada, the government’s HR department, brought in 21 foreign translators and interpreters. Canada Post hired a foreign senior manager in construction and utilities. The Bank of Canada — the same central bank that lectures working Canadians about “inclusive prosperity” — brought in 34 foreign workers, mostly economists and policy researchers. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada approved foreign biologists and scientists. And it gets worse: The Canadian Armed Forces — yes, the military — approved 62 foreign positions, including commissioned officers, pilots, and combat members. Environment and Climate Change Canada, the CFIA, the National Research Council, the Public Sector Pension Investment Board, CDEV, and others — all approved foreign worker hires. In total? Over 150 positions across more than a dozen taxpayer-funded agencies. The Cover-Up When Rebel News asked through Access-to-Information, we were told flat-out that no records existed. But when Parliament demanded the truth — under the legal weight of an Order Paper Question — the Liberals had to cough it up. This isn’t a clerical error. It’s a cover-up. It’s proof that Access-to-Information in Canada has become a political gatekeeping tool — one that shuts down journalists the government doesn’t like. And while they’re hiding documents from reporters, they’re spending $1.63 million of your money fighting the Information Commissioner in court — the very watchdog whose job it is to make them hand over those records. They lie, they lawyer up, and they bill you for the privilege. The Liberals didn’t just lie to Rebel News. They lied to Canadians — about who they hire, how they spend, and how far they’ll go to protect their narrative. The only reason we know the truth now is because Parliament forced it out of them. And that’s why Rebel News keeps filing these ATIPs, no matter how many times they stall, redact, or pretend “no records exist.” Because every time they say that, it’s a flashing red light that something they really don’t want you to see is hiding in the dark.

Getting clobbered by the economy? Identify as an illegal alien and the feds will treat you like royalty Millions of dollars of taxpayer funds are being used to rent hotels to house asylum claimants. In Mark Carney-led Canada, by every economic metric, life is in decline. The cost of living, unemployment, homelessness, and food bank usage have all soared this past decade. Indeed, the war on poverty has never seemed so grim as we all breathlessly await the “elbows up” strategy to kick in. So, riddle us this: how is it that given the overwhelming debt and deficit in Ottawa, somehow there are apparently millions of taxpayer dollars available to put up illegal aliens in nice motels and hotels? The latest example: the Comfort Inn on Kingston Road in Pickering, Ont., is now owned by Durham Region. It was recently “repurposed” to provide temporary housing for asylum claimants. Translation: members of the taxpaying public are persona non grata at the so-called “Durham Reception Centre” but non-citizens are warmly welcomed. Yet, the question arises: in these tough times, is this a prudent use of taxpayer dollars? We went to the former Comfort Inn to interview City of Pickering Councillor Lisa Robinson. She is the lone voice on council who is highly critical of this program and laments that there was zero public input into this initiative as the meetings about the property were held in secret. But while on site, we learned about an astounding piece of information that has received no publicity whatsoever. Namely, “guests” at the reception centre are only allowed to stay there for a maximum of 90 days. So, what happens when that three-month term expires? Do these people seek accommodation at city shelters? Do they join the rank and file of the local tent city? But no. It appears they get upgraded, not downgraded! Case in point: we approached an African man in the parking lot in a late-model SUV. He told us he used to stay at the former Comfort Inn, but he now lives in a house. He also told us that he remains unemployed. So, who is paying the rent for that house? You guessed it: the ever-beleaguered taxpayer. Note: the average rent for a house in Pickering is $2,650. Then, things got weird. Staff and security at the former motel called the police. Why? Good question. Two police SUVs soon arrived. The officers were very cordial. We explained our purpose for being there and they passed on to us that a representative from Durham Region was en route to answer our queries. In the meantime, we were welcome to stay on the property. And then things got weirder: after about an hour passed, one of the police officers informed us that the person we were waiting to interview from Durham Region had changed his mind. Apparently, he would not be leaving his office at Durham Region – a headquarters that features a $1 million revolving door, by the way. Bottom line: it would appear those bureaucrats gainfully employed at Durham Region are not only good at wasting taxpayer money but they also excel at wasting everyone’s time. That’s unfortunate. There are so many questions about this “reception centre”. But there remains a dearth of tangible answers – which is egregious given that the taxpayer is funding this program. Prior to our visit, we did reach out previously via email to Durham Region. Here were our queries: 1⃣ If this is a federal government initiative, why is Durham Region involved? 2⃣ What are the capital costs and operating costs pertaining to this facility? 3⃣ Homelessness and food bank usage have rapidly increased this past decade. How do we win the war on poverty if we keep importing the world’s impoverished? 4⃣ Is this facility exclusively for illegal aliens or can domestic homeless people access it? If not, why not? 5⃣ From which countries to the illegal aliens originate from? Alas, none of our questions were directly answered. Instead, we were provided with the following statement: “The Government of Canada provided funding, to the Region of Durham, to purchase a former hotel in Pickering. It will become the Durham Reception Centre. Located at 533 Kingston Road, in Pickering, the centre will provide temporary accommodation and supports for asylum claimants through the Durham Humanitarian Response Program (DHRP). Ukrainian nationals began staying here in 2022. By 2023, all asylum claimants were welcome at this site. And as of March 31, 2026, the program had assisted 1,957 people, with 1,244 putting down roots in this region. The location was purchased with funding from the federal Interim Housing Assistance Program (IHAP), which will also help to support some future operating costs. Securing a dedicated interim housing facility was a core requirement of the IHAP funding. It also aligns with several priorities outlined in the Durham Region 2025–2035 Strategic Plan. Although owned by the Region, the Community Development Council Durham (CDCD) will operate the site. The team will provide temporary accommodations and settlement services for up to 250 asylum claimants who will stay for no more than 90 days. An asylum claimant is someone who arrives here then asks for help to stay safe. There is no federal income support while their claim is being decided. Municipalities and community organizations step in to help. Asylum claimants are different from government‑assisted refugees. The Durham Reception Centre strengthens this work by providing a dedicated, federally funded facility where individuals and families can safely and efficiently transition into long‑term, independent housing and begin building their lives in Durham Region." Alas, no dollar figures were provided. And the wording seemed to imply that Ukrainian asylum seekers were being accommodated here, although on the day we visited, all the illegal aliens we encountered hailed from Africa and the Middle East. And we can only imagine the full price of this program if these people all get a house to live in after their motel stay expires. Again: must be nice. David Menzies

And then things got weirder: after about an hour passed, one of the police officers informed us that the person we were waiting to interview from Durham Region had changed his mind. Apparently, he would not be leaving his office at Durham Region – a headquarters that features a $1 million revolving door, by the way. Bottom line: it would appear those bureaucrats gainfully employed at Durham Region are not only good at wasting taxpayer money but they also excel at wasting everyone’s time. That’s unfortunate. There are so many questions about this “reception centre”. But there remains a dearth of tangible answers – which is egregious given that the taxpayer is funding this program. Prior to our visit, we did reach out previously via email to Durham Region. Here were our queries: 1⃣ If this is a federal government initiative, why is Durham Region involved? 2⃣ What are the capital costs and operating costs pertaining to this facility? 3⃣ Homelessness and food bank usage have rapidly increased this past decade. How do we win the war on poverty if we keep importing the world’s impoverished? 4⃣ Is this facility exclusively for illegal aliens or can domestic homeless people access it? If not, why not? 5⃣ From which countries to the illegal aliens originate from? Alas, none of our questions were directly answered. Instead, we were provided with the following statement: “The Government of Canada provided funding, to the Region of Durham, to purchase a former hotel in Pickering. It will become the Durham Reception Centre. Located at 533 Kingston Road, in Pickering, the centre will provide temporary accommodation and supports for asylum claimants through the Durham Humanitarian Response Program (DHRP). Ukrainian nationals began staying here in 2022. By 2023, all asylum claimants were welcome at this site. And as of March 31, 2026, the program had assisted 1,957 people, with 1,244 putting down roots in this region. The location was purchased with funding from the federal Interim Housing Assistance Program (IHAP), which will also help to support some future operating costs. Securing a dedicated interim housing facility was a core requirement of the IHAP funding. It also aligns with several priorities outlined in the Durham Region 2025–2035 Strategic Plan. Although owned by the Region, the Community Development Council Durham (CDCD) will operate the site. The team will provide temporary accommodations and settlement services for up to 250 asylum claimants who will stay for no more than 90 days. An asylum claimant is someone who arrives here then asks for help to stay safe. There is no federal income support while their claim is being decided. Municipalities and community organizations step in to help. Asylum claimants are different from government‑assisted refugees. The Durham Reception Centre strengthens this work by providing a dedicated, federally funded facility where individuals and families can safely and efficiently transition into long‑term, independent housing and begin building their lives in Durham Region." Alas, no dollar figures were provided. And the wording seemed to imply that Ukrainian asylum seekers were being accommodated here, although on the day we visited, all the illegal aliens we encountered hailed from Africa and the Middle East. And we can only imagine the full price of this program if these people all get a house to live in after their motel stay expires. Again: must be nice. David Menzies

Has U-M Become Wuhan on the Huron? Only half of the students who attend our flagship university are state residents, and the foreign students have a habit of breaking federal law By Charlie LeDuff (Charlie LeDuff) When I went to college in Ann Arbor, a gram of magic mushrooms cost five bucks. These days—what with the Chinese Communist Party having infiltrated the research laboratory at the University of Michigan—exotic fungi could cost all of us our lives. Three Chinese researchers were recently charged with attempting to smuggle toxic plant fungus into Detroit Metro Airport. If tweaked the right way, that fungus could be weaponized to devastate crops across the country. Now Congress wants to know what the university knew about the researchers, if it knew anything at all. “The university has no incentive to vet these foreign nationals as required by law,” said Rep. Tim Walberg, chairman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. “It makes a lot of money off the research and China pays the tuition.” What’s more, congressional committees have found that the smugglers were working under the supervision of two Michigan professors who also have extensive ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Their work over the years has been funded with nearly $10 million in federal grants. “It’s been an issue for many, many years,” said Andy Arena, former chief of the FBI’s counterterrorism operations. “The Chinese government is not our friend. The university turned a blind eye to it in pursuit of profit. They need to wake up.” So now we have a little Wuhan on the Huron River, all in the name of profit. I studied political science at Michigan, so I feel qualified to offer this scientific equation: Federal grants + Foreign grants + Out-of-State tuition = BIG MONEY Not only has the university’s lust for lucre imperiled the people of America, it has prioritized the money of outsiders over the education of young people who are actually from Michigan. Consider the makeup of the incoming student body at other excellent public universities. The proportion of students who are actually residents of that state: University of Texas at Austin: 90% University of Florida: 88% University of California, Berkeley: 85% Michigan State University: 78% And the University of Michigan? 52% (17% of the student body are foreign nationals). What gives? Greed. Consider that tuition at Michigan is $43,000 more for out-of-state students than it is for kids who actually come from the Wolverine State. And remember, U-M has a $19 billion endowment, one of the largest of any public university in the country. They might be book smart in Ann Arbor, but the adults who administer the place are world stupid. There are the bio-weapons researchers for one, then there are the five Chinese exchange students who got caught in 2023 filming—in the dead of night—a joint military operation between the U.S. and Taiwanese militaries at Camp Grayling. Their current whereabouts are unknown. Then there is the Chinese undergrad who used his Michigan student ID to register to vote in the 2024 presidential election. The “student” was later charged with election offenses and forced to surrender his passport. Not to worry, the guy slipped out of the country using a second passport. Over the past dozen years, the University of Michigan has been a sordid swamp of sexual, sporting, and now spying scandals. In that time, there have been five university presidents, three head football coaches, and a nearly half-billion-dollar abuse settlement. The constant through it all has been Mark Bernstein, vice-chair of the Board of Regents and noted slip-and-fall lawyer. An attempt to leave a message with Bernstein’s law firm (1-800-Call-Sam) proved unsuccessful. Who knows how compromised the university has become with corporate kleptocrats and communist spies? Let’s hope Congress gets to the bottom of the mess in Ann Arbor before we’re all forced to bend over and kiss our asses zai jian.

🚨 BREAKING: The White House has begun releasing President Trump's 20-point peace plan between Israel and Gaza PRESIDENT TRUMP would chair the transition board Major points are as follows: ➡️ HOSTAGES & PRISONERS: All hostages, both alive and deceased, to be returned within 72 hours of Israel's acceptance. In return, Israel will release 250 life-sentence prisoners and 1,700 detainees ➡️ CEASEFIRE: All military operations suspended; IDF withdrawal tied to demilitarization milestones ➡️ GAZA'S FUTURE: To become a “deradicalized, terror-free zone” under temporary Palestinian technocratic governance with international stabilization forces. ➡️ HAMAS ROLE: No role in Gaza governance; members who disarm may receive amnesty or safe passage abroad. ➡️ AID & REBUILDING: Immediate humanitarian aid, unrestricted distribution through the UN/Red Crescent, creation of a Special Economic Zone, and a Trump-led economic development plan to rebuild Gaza. FULL RELEASE BY WHITE HOUSE: 1. Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors. 2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough. 3. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal. 4. Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned. 5. Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans. 6. Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries. 7. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the January 19, 2025, agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads. 8. Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under the January 19, 2025 agreement. 9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment. 10. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza. 11. A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries. 12. No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza. 13. Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarization of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration program all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbors. 14. A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or its people. 15. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza. The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza, and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field. This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces. It is critical to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalize Gaza. A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties. 16. Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarization that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the Unites States, with the objective of a secure Gaza that no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or its citizens. Practically, the IDF will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority until they are withdrawn completely from Gaza, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat. 17. In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF. 18. An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasizing the benefits that can be derived from peace. 19. While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people. 20. The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.

$Important announcement!!!🫵💥💫 Would you have a tooth pulled if it helped your chances to get an important grant funded? Absurd question (obviously), but the situation right now is so bad funding-wise, that I bet some of you actually considered it for a second… Well, don’t get desperate - we created a new tool that might help! (keep your teeth!) I’m excited to announce that as of today we are officially releasing “QED for Grants” for everyone. What started off as an extension of our existing paper review platform, grew in the last few months to an entirely new design. We’ve been working like crazy on this, and although we have more things we want to add in the (very near) future, we decided to release our AI for grants NOW, earlier than planned. It’s not perfect, no AI is, but for the first time, when I run my own grants through QED Science, I feel it gets the research, finds real problems, and gives me very useful feedback that I can implement before submission. It’s like sending it to 20 scientists from my domain, knowing they’ll agree to dedicate their entire week to carefully read and comment on every line. It’s very important to write your own grants yourself, it makes you think hard and you learn a lot from doing it, and q.e.d’s system is designed to preserve these positive aspects and augment them - you get feedback on your own writing, we don’t write for you!! But at the same time, a typical PI spends many months every year writing proposals and sadly only a tiny fraction gets funded, even if the ideas are good. When you are forced to submit an unreasonable amount of grants the quality of the writing drops, and rejection rates increase. Not because the essence is bad. It’s simply too competitive right now (the cuts made it so much worse) and if your proposal is not super clear and tight, and if it’s not a perfect fit for the grant you’re submitting, you’re doomed. Our grant solution is not an authoring, text-generating tool. It gives you constructive feedback on your writing (it comments on the deep things, not grammar and typos). It’s meant to help you with the questions that torment you late at night (“is this a good fit?”, “Is this novel enough?”, “Did I miss something?”). Tens of thousands of you already use q.e.d to improve your manuscripts and critically read papers, we built the grant tool by the same principles (you’ll identify many of the features that you told us you like). We’ve processed thousands of proposals, learned where things fail, where reviewers get stuck, why good ideas come out weak. We interviewed hundreds of scientists, and also experts who work in funding agencies and university research authorities, and implemented their feedback (we’re constantly looking for more feedback). Our AI is always happy to give you constructive (and polite!) critique, and it will go through your grant line-by-line, forcing you to improve clarity, flag weak points, and push the whole thing to a higher standard. We study, in scale, what gets funded and what doesn’t, and what is the perfect fit for each type of grant. So please, use it, pressure-test it, tell us where it fails, and together we’ll improve it every day to put you in the best position for actually testing your ideas in the real world. As always with q.e.d, the system is completely secured and private, and we are NOT training on your data (see the FAQ on our website). Please like, retweet, and share with your favorite colleagues!

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

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

Agreeable people can't get paid more. Try being disagreeable. Jordan Peterson: “You don’t ask for more money. You make the case that you need to be paid more.” “Agreeable people are good in teams. They’re very likely to give other people credit.” That’s their strength. They collaborate well. They avoid unnecessary friction. They make teams smoother. But that same trait becomes expensive in negotiation. Because agreeable people are often bad at putting forward their own interests. And careers do not only reward value. They reward people who can argue for their value. Peterson’s point is simple: If you want to be paid more, being useful is not enough. You have to make a strong case for why your compensation should change. That means walking in with: Here’s what I do. Here’s the value I create. Here’s why it matters. And here are my options if that value is not recognized. Not as a threat. As leverage. That is where many people fail. They think asking for a raise is about being appreciated. It’s not. It’s about showing your utility clearly enough that saying no becomes harder. Peterson also points out that many people, especially women, may underestimate their value going into these conversations. If you already focus more on your flaws than your strengths, and you’re naturally agreeable, you negotiate from weakness before the conversation even starts. So you soften your ask. You downplay your impact. You wait too long. You accept less. Meanwhile, someone less capable but more assertive gets rewarded faster. That’s the brutal reality. The solution is not becoming aggressive. It’s becoming firm. Not rude. Not combative. Just clear, prepared, and willing to create a little discomfort. Because if you are always protecting the relationship at the cost of your own value, you will stay underpaid for a long time. Lessons I'm taking away from this clip: 1. Being valuable is not enough if you cannot communicate your value clearly. This is the biggest takeaway for me. A lot of smart, hardworking people assume their work will speak for itself, but in business that is often not how it works. People are busy. Managers are juggling priorities. Companies respond to clarity, not silent effort. So the real skill is not just doing good work. It is learning how to explain your contribution in a way that makes your value undeniable. If you can’t articulate the business case for paying you more, you’re leaving too much room for other people to define your worth for you. 2. Negotiation gets easier when you stop treating it like a favor and start treating it like positioning. I think this is where many people get stuck. They walk into these conversations hoping to be appreciated instead of prepared to make a case. That mindset alone weakens your posture. A raise conversation should not sound like “I was hoping…” It should sound like “Here is the impact I’ve created, here is the value tied to it, and here is why this needs to be reflected.” That shift matters. The market rewards people who understand leverage, alternatives, and timing. Not just effort. 3. A lot of under-earning is really under-claiming. Many people, especially those who are conflict-avoidant, do not get paid less because they are less capable. They get paid less because they minimize themselves in rooms that require conviction. They soften their wins, downplay their utility, and wait too long for someone else to notice. But career growth often belongs to the people who can hold two things at once: humility in how they work, and firmness in how they position their value. That balance is what changes income over time.

Man gets arrested for demanding to speak with chief of police in police lobby. Who was wrong in this situation? Christopher Young walked into the Springboro Police Department lobby demanding to speak directly with the Chief of Police. Young was furious over a traffic citation he had received the previous day for not wearing a seatbelt—a ticket he adamantly claimed was based on a lie by the citing officer. When department staff informed him the chief was unavailable and asked him to calm down or leave, Young refused, repeatedly demanding to see leadership. The tension escalated rapidly when an officer ordered Young to take his hands out of his pockets. Young refused and began backing away. Believing Young was non-compliant and trespassing, the officer grabbed Young’s arm to initiate an arrest. A physical struggle ensued. Young tackled the officer to the ground, prompting multiple officers and station staff to intervene, with one officer shouting to "tase him." Young was ultimately subdued, handcuffed, and charged with criminal trespass and obstructing official business. This footage highlights a critical friction point between citizen rights and law enforcement authority. Was this a lawful arrest or did this officer violate his rights and assult Chris? Perspective A: The Officer Assaulted a Citizen Doing Legitimate Business From a strict civil liberties standpoint, many argue the officer was the unlawful aggressor. Right to be There: A police lobby is a public building funded by taxpayers. Young was there on legitimate business—to file a complaint regarding what he believed to be a fraudulent ticket. You cannot simply trespass a citizen from a public space when they are attempting to engage with their government/ have official business. The "Hands in Pockets" Fallacy: Keeping your hands in your pockets is not a crime. Because no crime was actively being committed, the officer's command to remove them was merely a request, not a lawful order. Initiating Force: Young was backing away and not posing an active physical threat. By "laying hands" on him first, the officer unlawfully escalated a verbal grievance into a physical assault, making the subsequent struggle a reaction to police aggression. Perspective B: The Officer Executed a Lawful Arrest for Obstruction From a law enforcement and prosecution standpoint, the officer's actions were fully justified under existing legal precedents. Limited Public Fora: Courts have consistently ruled that government buildings and police lobbies are "non-public fora." While open for business, citizens do not have an absolute right to remain if their conduct becomes disruptive or interferes with operations. Once ordered to leave by authorities, refusing to do so converts the stay into criminal trespass. Officer Safety and Terry Precedent: Under Terry v. Ohio, officers have the authority to manage a scene for safety. In a high-tension dispute, unseeable hands are a statistical threat for concealed weapons. Refusing a direct safety command to show your hands during an escalating dispute constitutes active non-compliance and obstruction. Lawful Use of Force: Once a subject actively obstructs and refuses a dispersal order, officers are legally permitted to use proportional physical force to effect an arrest. This case perfectly illustrates the fragile balance between a citizen's right to demand government accountability without fear of physical detention, and an officer's duty to maintain order and safety within a secure facility. Did the officer overstep his authority and assault a frustrated citizen, or did the citizen's non-compliance and disruption turn a legitimate grievance into a lawful arrest? I'm very interested to hear the debates on both sides.

Tim Hortons finally picks the right fight — but I'm still not coming back Pretending Harry Potter is now forbidden literature because its author refuses to embrace gender ideology is absurd. I have to admit something I never thought I'd say. Good for Tim Hortons. Not because of a new coffee. Not because they finally figured out how to make a decent breakfast sandwich again. And certainly not because they've earned back the loyalty of millions of Canadians they've spent years alienating by unemploying their children in favour of cheap foreign labour. No, this time they deserve credit because they refused to cave to the outrage mob. But I am suspicious of the motives. And I'll explain why in a minute. But first. The controversy. Tim Hortons is launching a Harry Potter promotion to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the first film. It's exactly the kind of harmless, nostalgic marketing campaign that any normal company would dream up. Collectible merchandise. Special menu items. Trivia nights. A chance to win a trip to London. Sounds fun, right? Cute. Apparently not if you're a professional activist. Within hours, the online outrage machine was in full swing. Calls to boycott Tim Hortons. Social media branding the company "TERF-Hortons." Activists insisting that selling Harry Potter merchandise somehow amounts to endorsing hate. Because, of course, everything has to be political. The taxpayer-funded advocacy group Egale Canada even weighed in, scolding Tim Hortons for partnering with a franchise created by J.K. Rowling. According to them, Canada's self-appointed coffee chain isn't sufficiently reflecting the country's commitment to diversity and inclusion. Translation? You must submit to the approved ideology or face public shaming. Sorry crybabies, but some things are just about fun books and donuts. Then came the predictable parade of complaints. CBC highlighted employees who said they felt hurt by the promotion. I'm shocked they could find a Canadian one, so good for them. Trudeau-appointed Senator Kris Wells demanded Tim Hortons make Pride Timbits instead, calling the Harry Potter campaign "tone-deaf." Imagine being offended by a fictional wizard in a book. Here's the thing. Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has never said transgender people shouldn't have rights. She has consistently argued something much simpler: biological sex exists, women deserve sex-based protections, and people shouldn't lose their jobs or reputations for saying so. You may agree with her or disagree with her. That's your right. But pretending Harry Potter is now forbidden literature because its author refuses to embrace gender ideology is absurd. Millions of Canadians grew up with these books. They just like Harry Potter. And for once, Tim Hortons seems to understand that. The company politely thanked everyone for their opinions and essentially said, "We're celebrating one of the world's most beloved franchises." End of story. That's exactly how corporations should respond. Not with another grovelling apology. Not with another diversity consultant. Not by firing up the corporate confession machine every time a few hundred people on X get angry. Just say, "No thanks," and "settle down, you online hysterics." It's refreshing. But here's where my applause ends. Because let's not pretend Tim Hortons suddenly became the good guys. This company spent years becoming the poster child for Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker program. While Canadian teenagers struggled to find summer jobs... While young adults sent out résumé after résumé... Tim Hortons locations across the country were repeatedly accused of relying on temporary foreign workers instead. That wasn't a made-up controversy. It was real. Conservatives weren't imagining it. Many Canadians felt betrayed watching the country's most iconic coffee chain prioritize access to foreign labour and lobbying for changes to temporary foreign work requirements while local workers were looking for opportunities. That did real damage to Tim Hortons' reputation. Deserved damage. Which makes me wonder if this culture-war fight isn't just a little convenient. Maybe someone in the marketing department realized they needed a win with conservative Canadians. Maybe they figured standing up to the woke mob would rebuild some goodwill. If that's what they're doing, it probably will work for some people. And to those people I say, fair enough. I can't believe I am saying this, but I genuinely applaud Tim Hortons for refusing to surrender to ideological crybullying. Corporate Canada desperately needs more backbone. We have spent years watching companies race to apologize for imaginary offences and then pay a shakedown to activist groups as an indulgence for their sins. Maybe this is the beginning of that ending. I hope so. But as for me? One good decision doesn't erase years of bad ones. Standing up to the gender activists doesn't undo the damage done through the abuse of the Temporary Foreign Worker program. You don't rebuild trust overnight. So yes, good on Tim Hortons for telling the tone police to take a hike. Good on them for refusing to let taxpayer-funded activists dictate what's acceptable to enjoy. But if they're hoping this Harry Potter promotion is enough to bring conservatives flooding back through the drive-thru... They're going to need more than a little magic.

Phenomena, AAWSAP, Stratton and Consciousness "I keenly believe that consciousness is a key aspect of all of this, and perception." ~Jay Stratton ~ "I entered the [AATIP] program in 2008. I was asked by its director [Lacatski] to come on board and establish this program [AATIP]. And then, in 2010 is when I was asked to take over the effort." ~Lue Elizondo during WaPo Interview "Fast forward to 2015...I created a program called AATIP, which was a derivative of AAWSAP." ~Jay Stratton (As I've discussed before, AATIP (V2) didn't exist until much later (2015) than what we've been told by Lue. So what program did Lue come on board to in 2008 and which program did he "take over the effort" for in 2010 if AATIP (V2) was created by Stratton in 2015? Is that not a fair question to ask?) ~~~ Jay Stratton: "Starting back in the early 2000s, we saw the need - my colleague (Jim Lacatski. ~Joe) and I at the Defense Intelligence Agency - to start paying very close attention to this topic. Advanced technologies, emerging technologies, and really kind of the areas that the stigma has led for us to ignore for many years. "So, you know, we created a program that Hal (Puthoff) referred to as AAWSAP, you know, to address those issues. And that really started around 2005. So the DIA program, which you jumped in earlier and said the DOE or, you know, the DOD's program, and really, it's the Intelligence Community's program. DIA is part of the IC, the D in there being Defense, predominantly means the DIA looks at foreign-defense capabilities. "And we were looking at this from - and I hate to say it now - but a threat perspective. And the reason I say, 'I hate to say,' is because threat is capability plus intent, and some of these things, we just don't have an idea on the intent." (Does that mean that on some of these things we DO have an idea on the intent?) Stratton: "So, determining threat, you know, maybe it's an emerging-technologies threat or a concern anytime it can potentially exceed our own capabilities. But that DIA program focused on that, and the contract from 2008 to 2010, and then we transitioned and tried to move the program to a couple of other places. "Fast forward to 2015, I created a program called AATIP, which was a derivative of AAWSAP, and actually AATIP was a nickname for AAWSAP. And I know there's a lot of crazy names, but Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. But those 2015 events were the ones that you see now on the news: the Gimbal, the Go Fast. Ryan Graves, who usually participates in this, his wife is having a baby, currently, so he's not here (laughs). But all of those events started to happen...and those events helped fuel, you know, further highlight that need on the U.S. government side that, we gotta do something about this. "Which led to the creation of the UAP Task Force in 2018 into 2019 as when I started building it. I spent over two years building it out before the public even knew about it in 2020 when DoD established it. And at that point, it was truly a whole-of-government, interagency effort. Kind of the dream of, you know, my fifteen-years plus, at that point of looking at this topic and knowing everything that we needed with all the different authorities." (Much more on that can be found here: ) Stratton: "And that led into where we're at today with AARO, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office under DOD. And I think, you know, a few hiccups here and there, but I think now Dr Jon Koslowski, who has AARO, is approaching this problem set and dealing with the topic appropriately." (He seems like a good guy but James Fox recently said that he met with Kosloski who told him (Fox) that he (Kosloski) can't even part his hair without the DoD's permission. If that's true, and I have no reason to doubt Fox on that, I have little hope AARO will help bring Disclosure.) Stratton: "And I hope that, you know, obviously, my legacy, or the legacy of all of those involved, carries on, and that the government continues to take it seriously. And that we never have to look a pilot in the eyes again and say, 'Sorry, can't help you,' you know? Or the ridicule factor and all these other issues that happen from that." (If you want a true, lasting legacy... Push to be the UAP Czar, start another AAWSAP-like program, and do it for a few years until the world learns the truth about us not being alone on this planet and that we have craft and bodies of NHI. Allegedly, right? And help us figure out what the hell the phenomenon represents.) Stratton: "So, I mean, that's kind of the the cliff notes and the history. But the UAP Task Force recently got an award from the DNI. It's the first UFO program to get an award at that level, to my knowledge. And I'm really proud of where we're at today and and that we can have events like these to discuss this topic seriously, and everybody that's involved in putting their brands on this problem." (More on that award... ) Stratton: "I don't think we should overlook...and you had, you know, Paul (Smith) and others talk about remote viewing and that consciousness connection. I keenly believe that consciousness is a key aspect of all of this, and perception, you know, all the things that come from that. And that's an area that can get confusing, right? If you look at all of these recent drones, day-to-day, right? It's honestly driving me crazy because people are throwing in, you know, video of a Cessna Citation on final approach and calling it a UAP, you know? It's definitely a Cessna Citation. "And then folks start throwing around (laughs) the terms mimicry and other things that we've definitely looked at. And it gets like the Skinwalker Ranch, as you know I'm involved out there. You know, the things that you see, and are you really...you know, how is your brain forming that thing you're seeing and can that be manipulated? And I think that that technology is an area that, you know, I certainly focused on with my friends, Hal and others, to try to understand it." (Manipulation and perception deception. Is it a byproduct of the technology on our brains, or is it an intentional effort to deceive us? If it's the latter, that certainly doesn't seem to be a good thing for humanity, but I'm still open to all theories.) Stratton: "And that consciousness connection could be a key to understanding how some of these UAP are flying, you know, how they're acting, how they're controlled, I guess is the best way to put it, right?" (Are the craft controlled by some sort of 6th sense that the operators have and need in order to fly a craft?) Stratton: "So, you got to have that kind of open mindedness to approach this topic and I hope that my government, you know, folks are open to those kinds of things. And I know that there are still some key players that are open and thinking about...thinking out of the box about all those kinds of things. So, I mean, I think consciousness is the area that I would want to put more resources and time into if I were still there. (Yes, yes and yes. Bring back Stratton as the UAP and Consciousness Czar!) Anna Brady-Estevez: "And it's interesting because there's quite a bit of access to consciousness, you know, on a personal level-type experimentation. So it is interesting in that, you know, to get into UAPs, I mean, maybe you've seen one or more, maybe you haven't. But, if you haven't, you're kind of digging through other people's data. Whereas some of these consciousness or the remote viewing, it really just takes a couple people and a sheet of paper. So you can kind of step away pretty quickly from the, 'Do I believe the reports?' you know? Or somebody else's versus you can get to that primary experimentation at the cost of a sheet of paper, a pencil, and fifteen minutes or more of somebody's time here, at the most basic level. I mean, obviously there's extensive training to build the high-end capabilities. But some of that initial testing is pretty immediate. So thank you for bringing up that consciousness work." (When I took a basic Controlled Remove Viewing class with Lyn Buchanan (one of the OG remote viewers) in 1997, I saw the results for myself when I tried it. And right there and then, I KNEW that it worked. So people can debate with me all day long about the validity of psi and remote viewing but they won't change my mind. Seeing (and trying it for yourself) is believing.) Stratton: "I was gonna say, it took me years to move away from that nuts and bolts mentality of, you know, as an aerospace engineer, this is how it flies, thrust, you know, power, etc, you know, to...there's a lot more to this, right? Hence the name, you know, Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, or Aerial Phenomena, however you want to look at it. That phenomena word is key in the definition and understanding of all of this." (Big H/T to neandrewthal and anybody else who let me know about this event Stratton was a part of.)

Phenomena, AAWSAP, Stratton and Consciousness "I keenly believe that consciousness is a key aspect of all of this, and perception." ~Jay Stratton ~ "I entered the [AATIP] program in 2008. I was asked by its director [Lacatski] to come on board and establish this program [AATIP]. And then, in 2010 is when I was asked to take over the effort." ~Lue Elizondo during WaPo Interview "Fast forward to 2015...I created a program called AATIP, which was a derivative of AAWSAP." ~Jay Stratton (As I've discussed before, AATIP (V2) didn't exist until much later (2015) than what we've been told by Lue. So what program did Lue come on board to in 2008 and which program did he "take over the effort" for in 2010 if AATIP (V2) was created by Stratton in 2015? Is that not a fair question to ask?) ~~~ Jay Stratton: "Starting back in the early 2000s, we saw the need - my colleague (Jim Lacatski. ~Joe) and I at the Defense Intelligence Agency - to start paying very close attention to this topic. Advanced technologies, emerging technologies, and really kind of the areas that the stigma has led for us to ignore for many years. "So, you know, we created a program that Hal (Puthoff) referred to as AAWSAP, you know, to address those issues. And that really started around 2005. So the DIA program, which you jumped in earlier and said the DOE or, you know, the DOD's program, and really, it's the Intelligence Community's program. DIA is part of the IC, the D in there being Defense, predominantly means the DIA looks at foreign-defense capabilities. "And we were looking at this from - and I hate to say it now - but a threat perspective. And the reason I say, 'I hate to say,' is because threat is capability plus intent, and some of these things, we just don't have an idea on the intent." (Does that mean that on some of these things we DO have an idea on the intent?) Stratton: "So, determining threat, you know, maybe it's an emerging-technologies threat or a concern anytime it can potentially exceed our own capabilities. But that DIA program focused on that, and the contract from 2008 to 2010, and then we transitioned and tried to move the program to a couple of other places. "Fast forward to 2015, I created a program called AATIP, which was a derivative of AAWSAP, and actually AATIP was a nickname for AAWSAP. And I know there's a lot of crazy names, but Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. But those 2015 events were the ones that you see now on the news: the Gimbal, the Go Fast. Ryan Graves, who usually participates in this, his wife is having a baby, currently, so he's not here (laughs). But all of those events started to happen...and those events helped fuel, you know, further highlight that need on the U.S. government side that, we gotta do something about this. "Which led to the creation of the UAP Task Force in 2018 into 2019 as when I started building it. I spent over two years building it out before the public even knew about it in 2020 when DoD established it. And at that point, it was truly a whole-of-government, interagency effort. Kind of the dream of, you know, my fifteen-years plus, at that point of looking at this topic and knowing everything that we needed with all the different authorities." (Much more on that can be found here: ) Stratton: "And that led into where we're at today with AARO, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office under DOD. And I think, you know, a few hiccups here and there, but I think now Dr Jon Koslowski, who has AARO, is approaching this problem set and dealing with the topic appropriately." (He seems like a good guy but James Fox recently said that he met with Kosloski who told him (Fox) that he (Kosloski) can't even part his hair without the DoD's permission. If that's true, and I have no reason to doubt Fox on that, I have little hope AARO will help bring Disclosure.) Stratton: "And I hope that, you know, obviously, my legacy, or the legacy of all of those involved, carries on, and that the government continues to take it seriously. And that we never have to look a pilot in the eyes again and say, 'Sorry, can't help you,' you know? Or the ridicule factor and all these other issues that happen from that." (If you want a true, lasting legacy... Push to be the UAP Czar, start another AAWSAP-like program, and do it for a few years until the world learns the truth about us not being alone on this planet and that we have craft and bodies of NHI. Allegedly, right? And help us figure out what the hell the phenomenon represents.) Stratton: "So, I mean, that's kind of the the cliff notes and the history. But the UAP Task Force recently got an award from the DNI. It's the first UFO program to get an award at that level, to my knowledge. And I'm really proud of where we're at today and and that we can have events like these to discuss this topic seriously, and everybody that's involved in putting their brands on this problem." (More on that award... ) Stratton: "I don't think we should overlook...and you had, you know, Paul (Smith) and others talk about remote viewing and that consciousness connection. I keenly believe that consciousness is a key aspect of all of this, and perception, you know, all the things that come from that. And that's an area that can get confusing, right? If you look at all of these recent drones, day-to-day, right? It's honestly driving me crazy because people are throwing in, you know, video of a Cessna Citation on final approach and calling it a UAP, you know? It's definitely a Cessna Citation. "And then folks start throwing around (laughs) the terms mimicry and other things that we've definitely looked at. And it gets like the Skinwalker Ranch, as you know I'm involved out there. You know, the things that you see, and are you really...you know, how is your brain forming that thing you're seeing and can that be manipulated? And I think that that technology is an area that, you know, I certainly focused on with my friends, Hal and others, to try to understand it." (Manipulation and perception deception. Is it a byproduct of the technology on our brains, or is it an intentional effort to deceive us? If it's the latter, that certainly doesn't seem to be a good thing for humanity, but I'm still open to all theories.) Stratton: "And that consciousness connection could be a key to understanding how some of these UAP are flying, you know, how they're acting, how they're controlled, I guess is the best way to put it, right?" (Are the craft controlled by some sort of 6th sense that the operators have and need in order to fly a craft?) Stratton: "So, you got to have that kind of open mindedness to approach this topic and I hope that my government, you know, folks are open to those kinds of things. And I know that there are still some key players that are open and thinking about...thinking out of the box about all those kinds of things. So, I mean, I think consciousness is the area that I would want to put more resources and time into if I were still there. (Yes, yes and yes. Bring back Stratton as the UAP and Consciousness Czar!) Anna Brady-Estevez: "And it's interesting because there's quite a bit of access to consciousness, you know, on a personal level-type experimentation. So it is interesting in that, you know, to get into UAPs, I mean, maybe you've seen one or more, maybe you haven't. But, if you haven't, you're kind of digging through other people's data. Whereas some of these consciousness or the remote viewing, it really just takes a couple people and a sheet of paper. So you can kind of step away pretty quickly from the, 'Do I believe the reports?' you know? Or somebody else's versus you can get to that primary experimentation at the cost of a sheet of paper, a pencil, and fifteen minutes or more of somebody's time here, at the most basic level. I mean, obviously there's extensive training to build the high-end capabilities. But some of that initial testing is pretty immediate. So thank you for bringing up that consciousness work."

Midl's Bitcoin Ecosystem Bootstrapping Program is Live Imagine you have a time travel machine. You gently set it to the fall of 2018, witness the birth of Uniswap and ETH still sitting at some humble $100. Now imagine you get the opportunity to commit liquidity to Uniswap to generate future UNI yield from it. And earn ETH on top of that. And it gets better: you’re still not sure if it will skyrocket and you want to play safe. Good news: you don’t have to provide actual liquidity right away, just your wallet balance as an ID. But keep in mind, you’re dealing with groundbreaking pioneers. That’s exactly what the Bootstrapping Program is about. We kill two birds with one stone: giving builders the opportunity to launch with strength, and giving early supporters a chance to earn without overcommitting to build an ecosystem that lasts. With no risks, and no lock-ins till mainnet: generate Midl token rewards and get exposure to the projects that are now building the future of BTCFi with. Soft Staking Explained The Program functions in a soft staking manner. Meaning, you don’t have to put actual assets into the protocol at the spot. See it as a balance snapshot: you enroll via a signature, not an actual staking tx. Rewards accrual depends on that. Use multiple tokens: BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC or even WBTC to finally take it out from Ethereum and bring it to where it belongs. So I get free Midl tokens? Well, not really. After the mainnet launch you’ll have to provide the desired liquidity to the project. Till that moment the funds stay with you. Free will establishment here: if you decide to withdraw from the campaign, you are free to do it anytime. Liquidity Part If you are thinking of asking “With 2T+ locked in there, isn’t it enough to feed everyone?”. Here's the deal: Yes, Bitcoin has enormous liquidity, but it can’t be untapped natively. For now. That brings us back to the chicken and egg question: Midl’s grand aim is to make this liquidity work which could only be done if more builders come to play. And that’s EXACTLY who you are supporting through the Bootstrapping Program. We give you a chance to unlock Bitcoin's potential by helping out teams with the right vision of market demands and improvements needed to be done pre-launch. And that’s how we unlock the existing trillions. Sure, you can just go around, ape into some project that is built on top of the chain that is built on top of another chain, fall into the vicious cycle of competing with farming bots and listening to projects telling you the airdrop was fair (if you like to suffer). We are not keen on doing that. Feel free to check out the secondary TVL of Layer 2s with the Bitcoin’s. And we haven't even plugged in the real DeFi part yet. You contribute = you get transparent reward accrual and real incentive. No additional layers and no guessing whether you’ll be rewarded or not. Contribute directly to Bitcoin, the most trustworthy chain out there.

#BREAKING: US President Donald Trump’s announces Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict: 1. Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors. 2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough. 3. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal. 4. Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned. 5. Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans. 6. Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries. 7. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the January 19, 2025, agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads. 8. Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under the January 19, 2025 agreement. 9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment. 10. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza. 11. A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries.

Zack Polanski, "Today I was in Oxfordshire, standing in the aftermath of the devastation caused by a wildfire. Trees reduced to charcoal, cars turned to burnt out wrecks. The smell of smoke still lingering in the air on the site of what was once a thriving local business now reduced to ash." "Wildfires, literal scorched earth and a looming sense. And I really want everyone to hear this. This is only just the beginning. And today, as temperatures fall at the end of yet another extreme heat alert, we know that if it rains now, the soil being baked dry means it's much more likely to flood." "These days feel exceptional. But what we are living through right now are likely some of the least extreme summer temperatures we'll experience in our lifetimes. Today I am sounding the alarm and I'm laying out a plan." "Because last week, while a wildfire the size of 200 football pitches was raging across Suffolk, I called on, Prime Minister Burnham to act urgently to address the crisis. I suggested a COBRA meeting being the very least he could do." "And six days later, with another heat alert just having ended, we have still heard next to nothing from the very top of government. No emergency briefings, no new plan and precious little detail about how this government will protect people from the crisis." "It is putting lives and livelihoods at risk across the entire uk. So today I'm delivering a reality cheque. We are facing the biggest threat to this country since the Second World War." "I'm setting out what Prime Minister Burnham can do now to tackle the crisis and I am challenging him to act with the urgency we need. You will hear today from those on the front line of this crisis and they will lay out what they have dealt with in the past few weeks." "And to them, on behalf of the entire country, I want to say thank you. Extreme weather is now the new normal and without action, the impact on the people of this country will be unimaginably grave." "The threats we face are three hold first, the threat to the safety of the population. Almost 3,000 people have died from the effects of extreme heat this summer. And we know that older people and those with pre existing conditions are particularly at risk from these dangerous temperatures." "Those are the people who have been forced to stay at home for days on end, windows, curtains closed, trying to wait out the extreme heat. And these are the people who are most likely now to have grieving families whose bodies were under such intense strain and trying just to stay cool that their kidneys and their hearts could no longer cope." "Meanwhile, wildfires have seen hundreds evacuated from their homes, while many thousands more wait anxiously with Flames on the horizon and smoke in their lungs. We've seen across Europe how bad things can get." "Hundreds of thousands evacuated, half a million acres burned. The sheer scale of the devastation is hard to comprehend, but we need to look it in the face, because this is only a taster of what's to come if we don't act now." "Second, we face a threat to our food and water security. Farmers are now warning we could see food shortages after flooding followed by drought has decimated crops. And despite farmers working really hard through the nights to avoid the heat, food production is grinding to a halt and our food prices are set to rise." "Half of England is experiencing serious drought. And across the country, 8 of our water reservoirs are at risk of running dry. Privatised water companies they've failed to build a single new reservoir to since 1992, are, losing nearly 3 billion litres of water a day from leaky pipes." "That's five times more than a nationwide host pipe ban would even save. The threat is so severe that the UK's National Risk Register warns that if we have three years of exceptionally dry weather like this, we could face water rationing." "These aren't distant possibilities, they're very real scenarios and they are coming straight at us down the track because finally, we face a threat to our very way of life. Parents unable to take their children to the playground because the slides are so hot it could burn, their skin off." "Temperatures so high they keep us inside for days for the sake of our health. Cities feeling like ghost towns, parks turned into deserts. We only have to look across the Channel to France and Spain to see what faces us in the years ahead." "Europe is heating at, twice the rate of the rest of the world. Wildfires, droughts, deadly floods. The scenes we have seen play out on our TV screens are, frankly apocalyptic. And yet the response from our government is to pretend none of this is happening." "It is an astonishing dereliction of duty from those whose very first responsibility is to keep all of us safe, and from the media. With some brilliant and notable exceptions, we have seen more clamouring for North Sea drilling in the last few weeks than actually raising the alarm on climate breakdown." "While our country has come together, people have offered shelter to those who have had to leave their homes due to wildfires. They've checked in with older neighbours to care for those who are sick because of the heat. But the government. The government have been far, far too quiet on what is an emergency." "So today you will hear from some of those on the front line of this crisis and Those with vital insights into how we face this threat. A doctor, a firefighter, someone who served this country in the armed forces, and someone who has dedicated his entire career to our precious nature and wildlife." "It's experts like these that this government should be bringing to the table to design a full scale emergency response. So I want to step out from this big picture and look at some of the urgent steps that Prime Minister Burnham needs to urgently announce to protect people right now and keep us safe from what we know is coming down the track." "In the immediate term, we need to keep people safe from extreme temperatures. That means a free accessible cool space in every local area. And financial support for households so they can heat proof their homes. Second, we need a robust wildfire prevention strategy." "A fire service with the resources it needs to tackle blazes when they come. And that must include firefighting helicopters when needed. And not again ever seeing the shocking sight of requiring a charity to step in to contract a private firm to help fight fires." "And this should all be funded by taxing the fossil fuel giants who are profiting from fueling these infernos. And finally, to secure our water supply, prevent droughts and protect our food system, we need to bring water back into public hands." "Right now, money is flowing out of our hands into the pockets of shareholders, just like water is flowing out of those companies leaky pipes in the middle of a drought. Every single penny households pay for their water needs to go back into strengthening our infrastructure, building new reservoirs and protecting us from the droughts of the future." "We know that these extreme temperatures, these deadly wildfires, are being driven by the burning of fossil fuels. The sad reality is decades of inaction of politicians allowing fossil fuel companies to profit from pumping out deadly emissions have guaranteed the extreme weather we are seeing right now." "And we will see for the rest of our lifetimes. But there is still time to stop total breakdown. So let me speak directly to the Prime Minister. If we are to secure a livable future for our children and for our grandchildren, there can be no new drilling for oil and gas." "On this, the, the science is crystal clear. As politicians, we have a moral responsibility to do what is right for the people we serve, even when it's not politically convenient. And I know that whatever our differences, we both care deeply about the people of this country and the future of our planet." "So when the time comes, I hope you will have the courage to be truthful, be brave and hold firm to your party's commitment to no new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea, including both Rosebank and, Jackdaw." "Now, some will say we can't afford to make these changes. These last few weeks are showing we can't afford not to. We are facing an existential threat. People are dying. People are scared." "It is time to act. And when we do, we won't just avoid the worst effects of climate breakdown. We will lower bills permanently, help our communities thrive, and give a grounded sense of hope for generations to come."

The sheer scale of the devastation is hard to comprehend, but we need to look it in the face, because this is only a taster of what's to come if we don't act now." "Second, we face a threat to our food and water security. Farmers are now warning we could see food shortages after flooding followed by drought has decimated crops. And despite farmers working really hard through the nights to avoid the heat, food production is grinding to a halt and our food prices are set to rise." "Half of England is experiencing serious drought. And across the country, 8 of our water reservoirs are at risk of running dry. Privatised water companies they've failed to build a single new reservoir to since 1992, are, losing nearly 3 billion litres of water a day from leaky pipes." "That's five times more than a nationwide host pipe ban would even save. The threat is so severe that the UK's National Risk Register warns that if we have three years of exceptionally dry weather like this, we could face water rationing." "These aren't distant possibilities, they're very real scenarios and they are coming straight at us down the track because finally, we face a threat to our very way of life. Parents unable to take their children to the playground because the slides are so hot it could burn, their skin off." "Temperatures so high they keep us inside for days for the sake of our health. Cities feeling like ghost towns, parks turned into deserts. We only have to look across the Channel to France and Spain to see what faces us in the years ahead." "Europe is heating at, twice the rate of the rest of the world. Wildfires, droughts, deadly floods. The scenes we have seen play out on our TV screens are, frankly apocalyptic. And yet the response from our government is to pretend none of this is happening." "It is an astonishing dereliction of duty from those whose very first responsibility is to keep all of us safe, and from the media. With some brilliant and notable exceptions, we have seen more clamouring for North Sea drilling in the last few weeks than actually raising the alarm on climate breakdown." "While our country has come together, people have offered shelter to those who have had to leave their homes due to wildfires. They've checked in with older neighbours to care for those who are sick because of the heat. But the government. The government have been far, far too quiet on what is an emergency." "So today you will hear from some of those on the front line of this crisis and Those with vital insights into how we face this threat. A doctor, a firefighter, someone who served this country in the armed forces, and someone who has dedicated his entire career to our precious nature and wildlife." "It's experts like these that this government should be bringing to the table to design a full scale emergency response. So I want to step out from this big picture and look at some of the urgent steps that Prime Minister Burnham needs to urgently announce to protect people right now and keep us safe from what we know is coming down the track." "In the immediate term, we need to keep people safe from extreme temperatures. That means a free accessible cool space in every local area. And financial support for households so they can heat proof their homes. Second, we need a robust wildfire prevention strategy." "A fire service with the resources it needs to tackle blazes when they come. And that must include firefighting helicopters when needed. And not again ever seeing the shocking sight of requiring a charity to step in to contract a private firm to help fight fires." "And this should all be funded by taxing the fossil fuel giants who are profiting from fueling these infernos. And finally, to secure our water supply, prevent droughts and protect our food system, we need to bring water back into public hands." "Right now, money is flowing out of our hands into the pockets of shareholders, just like water is flowing out of those companies leaky pipes in the middle of a drought. Every single penny households pay for their water needs to go back into strengthening our infrastructure, building new reservoirs and protecting us from the droughts of the future." "We know that these extreme temperatures, these deadly wildfires, are being driven by the burning of fossil fuels. The sad reality is decades of inaction of politicians allowing fossil fuel companies to profit from pumping out deadly emissions have guaranteed the extreme weather we are seeing right now." "And we will see for the rest of our lifetimes. But there is still time to stop total breakdown. So let me speak directly to the Prime Minister. If we are to secure a livable future for our children and for our grandchildren, there can be no new drilling for oil and gas." "On this, the, the science is crystal clear. As politicians, we have a moral responsibility to do what is right for the people we serve, even when it's not politically convenient. And I know that whatever our differences, we both care deeply about the people of this country and the future of our planet." "So when the time comes, I hope you will have the courage to be truthful, be brave and hold firm to your party's commitment to no new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea, including both Rosebank and, Jackdaw." "Now, some will say we can't afford to make these changes. These last few weeks are showing we can't afford not to. We are facing an existential threat. People are dying. People are scared." "It is time to act. And when we do, we won't just avoid the worst effects of climate breakdown. We will lower bills permanently, help our communities thrive, and give a grounded sense of hope for generations to come."

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Brave Aussie Bureaucrat Risks Global Laughter to Protect Nation from Canadian Man’s Tweet MELBOURNE– In a bold move destined to make satire redundant, Australia’s eSafety Commissioner has launched a heroic campaign to save 26 million Australians from the world’s most dangerous threat: a tweet. Yes, a tweet. From Canada. Enter Chris Elston, also known as Billboard Chris—a man with the audacity to wear sandwich boards and say children can’t consent to puberty blockers. Dangerous stuff, obviously. But this time, he really crossed the line: he reposted a Daily Mail article (the horror!) about Teddy Cook, a “professional queer” activist and proud promoter of bondage, bestiality, public nudity, and tax-funded trans surgeries… who now sits on a World Health Organization health panel. Naturally, Elston’s crime wasn’t defamation, incitement, or anything legally substantial. No, it was the unpardonable sin of misgendering. And so, Australia’s top digital hall monitor, Julie “Inman-Grant Almighty”, issued a righteous removal notice, demanding that the post be erased—or else Elon Musk would cop a spicy little $800,000 fine. Because, as everyone knows, nothing says “sovereign democracy” quite like a bureaucrat on $445k a year telling a billionaire in Texas to shut up—or else. Albo’s progressive crew naturally cheered the move. After all, it’s 2025. Speech is violence. Truth is trauma. And freedom? Well, that’s conditional on your pronouns. X’s response? Geo-blocked in Australia only. Which means the post is still visible everywhere else on Earth. But hey, at least the taxpayer-funded eSafety team gets to feel important. Meanwhile, Elston—clearly unaware that ideas are now illegal—has dared to fight back. With the Human Rights Law Alliance, ADF International, and none other than Elon “Free Speech Absolutist” Musk in his corner, Elston is now challenging the takedown in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, a court hearing that could become the global frontline for digital free speech. Let that sink in: An unelected Aussie bureaucrat tried to censor a Canadian citizen, on an American platform, over a UK news article, because it offended an activist… and now the world is watching. Here’s what matters: •The Online Safety Act 2021 gives Australia’s eSafety czar Orwellian powers to censor what you read—regardless of borders, truth, or intent. •Elston’s post was political speech, protected by Australia’s implied freedom of political communication. •The content did not meet the legal threshold for cyber-abuse under the Act. •Teddy Cook is a public figure influencing global health policy. He’s fair game for scrutiny. •Elon Musk’s X is challenging this nonsense not just to protect Elston—but to protect the very concept of free speech online. This isn’t about feelings. It’s about freedom. If Albo’s government gets away with this, the precedent is clear: Any bureaucrat with a bruised ego can muzzle the internet—even beyond their own borders. Today it’s Elston. Tomorrow it’s you. Support Chris. Support Musk. Support common sense. Because if free speech dies here, it won’t be with a bang… It’ll be with a content warning and a “this post has been removed in your country.” [End Transmission] Billboard Chris 🌎 Elon Musk ADF International Julie Inman Grant Anthony Albanese
