#breaking: The Mahajan family’s first trip to NYC ended in mourning after the death of their 18-year-old son, NYT reported. The family was on a horse-drawn carriage ride around 2:45 p.m. in Central Park, when the driver got off to take a photo of the family, the father told NYT. But then, the horse bolted, speeding up before it crashed. “We were yelling, ‘Help me, help me!’” Romanch Mahajan’s father, Deepak, 44, told NYT. His wife, Priya, fell out of the carriage, so Romanch jumped down to try to help. But he didn’t get up. By around 7:15 p.m., he had died from his injuries, West Side Rag wrote. The other family members, including Romanch’s younger brother, sustained minor injuries. The incident has renewed outrage over the horse-drawn carriage industry and its treatment of horses. On June 9, a horse named Deniz collapsed and died in Central Park after eating a plant toxic to horses. “This is unacceptable. A driver is not supposed to leave the carriage to take photos — ever,” Alexander Kemp, a VP of the horse carriage industry union, said in a statement. “We support a full investigation.” The driver has been suspended and the horse involved, named Sampson, has been retired. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani called the death a “horrific incident.” “I look forward to working with…community leaders to deliver a just transition that protects workers while ending horse-drawn carriages in Central Park once and for all.” The Mahajan family was celebrating Romanch’s graduation from high school. He was set to begin studying at Manipal University Jaipur for college. “It took my son’s dream away,” Deepak Mahajan told NYT.

🚨12 HOUR NEWS RECAP 1. Trump celebrated the first 100 days of his second term in the White House at a rally in Michigan where he slammed DEI: “I ended all of the lawless so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion bullshit all across the entire federal government and the private sector.” 2. Global central banks are quietly ditching U.S Treasuries like last season’s trend, with foreign holdings now down to ~23% of total U.S debt—the lowest in 22 years. At the same time, gold is back in fashion, climbing to ~18% of global reserves, the highest in 26 years. 3. Trump said that Biden weakened the image of the U.S: “We had a president that couldn't walk up a flight of stairs, couldn't walk down a flight of stairs, couldn't walk across the stage without falling.” 4. While Beijing publicly vows to fight Trump’s 145% tariffs “to the end,” it’s quietly handing out exemptions. A new, undisclosed “whitelist” of U.S-made goods—pharma, microchips, aircraft parts—is being shared privately with companies. 5. Kim Jong Un rolled out North Korea's new Choe Hyon-class warship, launching a buffet of missiles while declaring it’s time to "nuclear arm the navy." The ship fired everything but the kitchen sink—supersonic cruise, strategic cruise, tactical ballistic, and anti-air missiles—while Kim beamed like it was a yacht party. 6. Germany’s Social Democrats just said yes to joining a coalition with Friedrich Merz and the conservatives — even though they had their worst election showing since WWII. Now the SPD gets major ministries, and Merz gets the keys to the chancellor’s office on May 6. 7. A massive fire ripped through the Rituraj Hotel in central Kolkata, India, leaving at least 15 dead. Rescue efforts took 6 fire engines as trapped guests scrambled to escape through windows and narrow ledges. 8. A new strain of norovirus is turning “luxury at sea” into floating stomach bug central, with the CDC confirming 12 of 16 outbreaks on ships this year tied to the ultra-contagious virus. 2025 is on track to blow past last year’s outbreak count, and cruise lines from Royal Caribbean to Holland America are already on the sick list. 9. UPS is in talks with Figure to bring in 5'6" robot workers who can pick up and sort boxes like humans — just without the lunch breaks. The robots look like something out of a sci-fi movie and might soon be chilling by conveyor belts at UPS facilities. 10. One of America’s top urologists is warning men not to take finasteride—the celebrity-approved hair drug accused of wrecking libidos, shrinking genitals, and bending penises. Dr. Edward Schaeffer says 1 in 10 men suffer permanent sexual side effects, calling post-finasteride syndrome very real—and sometimes forever.

💥Happy 2nd SHOT Anniversary💥 2 years y’all! I’ve survived 2 yesrs •2 years I’ve been sick and injured from this poison. And I’m calling it what it is bc I feel “poisoned” every single freaking day • 2 years I’ve been mainly bedbound and unable to work as a RN, where before my jab I was once healthy, in the best shape of my life & ready to start a family. Now I’m 38, disabled & can barely do my Activities of Daily Living •Before becoming a nurse, I was blessed naturally with freakish athletic ability and talent. Any sport I played I excelled in, especially softball. •I started playing softball when I was 4 years old. I skipped tee ball bc I was too advanced and at 4 years old I was playing in coach pitch. I was just an itty bitty thing out there in the sea of these “big kids” and was given the nickname of PEANUT😃 I was the smallest one out there but also the mightiest. Like they say dynamite comes in small packages.!😆 In high school i lettered in varsity Volleyball, Basketball, and softball all 4 years. I earned so many accolades in softball and was a super star in my state. I was a 4 time all county, 4 time all conference, 2 time all region, 2 time All state shortstop and pitcher, County player of the year, and 2 time State Champion 👊✊ Those were the happiest days of my life. After high school I went on to play college softball at a D2 school instead of going professional or playing D1 to be close to my family after my moms death my senior year. I played 2 years of college ball and broke a few records my freshman year one being stolen base record: I was quick like lightning and my fastest time clocked in running to first base was 2.78 seconds in 40 feet 🐭 Of course I was lead off batter. I would get on base, steal 2nd and 3rd and would get hit home to score every time😃 I was also being scouted to play professional softball but pursued being a nurse instead. I am now confirmed, diagnosed and a documented adverse reaction to the mRNA vaccine with temporal association due to symptoms occurring 8 hours after my injection I was in cytokine storm by day 10 of my injury and I still currently am in it 2 years later. My past medical history only consisted of a pollen allergy which I took daily Claritin for. That’s it No surgeries, or other problems. I didn’t even have a PCP at the time bc I was never sick and if I did get sick I would always just see my athletic trainer while at college or the urgent care. I now suffer not only with being in cytokine storm, but also a bunch of new onset diagnosis that it has caused. POTS (postural Orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) , MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome) Mthfr gene mutation, tremors, muscle mass loss, neurocognitive issues, monocyte and macrophage activation with all three monocyte likes expressing S1 Vax spike, mitochondrial failure, nitric oxide pathway failure, shingles, ebv reactivated, tremors, hot flashes, hypertension, inappropriate sinus tach with pacs, pvcs, and ventricular trigeminy, adhd, depression, anxiety, ptsd, ocd, extensive hair loss alopecia, skin rashes and bumps, syncope, dizziness, tinnitus, shortness of breath on exertion , micro clotting and activated platelet cascade, joint pain and swelling, palpitations and the list goes on. I speak out about my injury bc this poison needs pulled from the shelves ASAP and investigated 💯 #VaxInjuries #VaxDeaths #PfizerLied

This Animation turned out cool 🔥 Seedance 2.0 on Higgsfield Full open-sourced prompts and assets below Prompt: Generation 1 Aoi = Image 1 · Kaijin = Image 2 · Mio = Image 3 · Ren = Image 4 · Classroom = Image 5 All shots take place in the Classroom Shot 1 (0–3s) — Low static shot. Aoi slumped on the tiled floor between the desk rows, overcast daylight from the tall windows right, overturned desks and scattered notebooks around her, sweat soaking her bangs, neckerchief pulled loose, hand pressed to her stomach, breath ragged. Wall clock ticking. Shot 2 (3–5s) — Tight close-up on Aoi's hand on the tile, fingernails darkening and lengthening into claws, veins raising black under the skin, a pink flush blooming beneath the flesh; ragged breathing turning to wet clicking. Shot 3 (5–8s) — Rapid three-frame cut, Aoi becoming Kaijin: spine erupting through the blouse in a row of ivory spines; jaw splitting as bone-white plate sheets over the skull; a second eyelid tearing open on the collarbone, grey iris rolling into place. Hard cuts, wet cracking, cold blue-grey light on pink tissue. Shot 4 (8–10s) — Fast vertical tilt up Kaijin rising hunched to full height, shredded sailor collar and blue neckerchief hanging off its shoulder, central eye fixing forward, ivory horns catching window light, tiles splitting under its claws, guttural roar against the green chalkboard. Shot 5 (10–12s) — Camera in the dim corridor. Mio and Ren sprinting toward the wooden door on the left, scythe and hammer in hand; they burst through into the grey daylight and freeze, Mio recognizing the sailor collar on Kaijin. Mio (Japanese, low): 「遅かった。」 ("We're late.") Shot 6 (12–13.5s) — Low dutch angle. Ren charging first, hammer swinging into Kaijin's leg; whip-pan as the counterblow throws him sideways through a desk into the corkboard wall, papers scattering off the pins. Shot 7 (13.5–15s) — Close-up slow motion, Mio vaulting the wreckage, hook connecting across Kaijin's forearm, hot pink ichor spraying in thick suspended arcs against the window light — freeze on the ichor mid-air. Generation 2 Aoi = Image 1 · Kaijin = Image 2 · Mio = Image 3 · Ren = Image 4 · Classroom = Image 5 Last frame = Image Shot 8 (15–17s) — Wide static two-anchor frame. Kaijin backhands Mio toward the cracking chalkboard as Ren is swatted into a row of desks opposite; both impacts land in the same beat. Ren (Japanese, groaning): 「まだやれる…お前は?」 ("Still good… you?") Mio (Japanese, pushing up): 「当然。」 ("Obviously.") Shot 9 (17–19s) — Floor-level tracking, Kaijin's clawed feet splitting tiles as it stalks toward Mio, central eye dilating, torso eyes blinking out of sync, desks shoved aside, pages lifting in the draft. Shot 10 (19–21s) — Close-up on Ren rising, blood at his temple, hammer up into a two-handed grip, eyes locked on Kaijin's exposed ribs. Shot 11 (21–23s) — Extreme close-up slow motion, hammer head into the ribs, bone-white shards and hot pink fluid bursting frame by frame, Kaijin staggering off-balance. Shot 12 (23–25s) — Fast orbit around Mio and Ren flanking the staggered Kaijin from opposite sides, hook and hammer both rising, overcast light streaking the lens. Shot 13 (25–28s) — Slow motion, Mio driving the hook into Kaijin's shoulder joint and wrenching down with a full-throated scream, burst of hot pink; Ren's hammer follows a half-beat later into the same joint; the mass folds and collapses face-first, torn sailor collar settling in the pink pool. Shot 14 (28–30s) — Pull back to wide. Mio and Ren standing over the corpse, chests heaving, weapons hanging loose; Mio staring at the blue neckerchief in the ichor; a notebook page drifts down past frame — hold, cut to black.

🚨SILVER IS REPEATING THE 2011-2013 CRASH SCENARIO I've seen this before, and I don't like how it ends Since January 2026, silver has dropped around 48% from its all-time high of $121.6/oz, making January and February some of the worst months since 2011 The scenario is repeating almost perfectly: Rally → ATH → Hawkish Fed → ETF outflows → Loss of momentum → Deep Correction 1. After the ATH, profit-taking accelerated Just like in 2011, silver rallied for years on inflation fears, geopolitical tensions, and expectations of a structural supply deficit But after the peak, the momentum started to fade 2. The Fed is once again the main source of pressure Kevin Warsh's hawkish stance and expectations of tighter monetary policy are strengthening the dollar and pushing real yields higher - a bearish scenario for silver With money rotating from commodities into equities as the U.S. economy stays resilient, silver tends to underperform gold 3. Safe-haven demand is fading If tensions around Iran, the Middle East, or other geopolitical conflicts continue to ease, the safe-haven premium will keep shrinking Money will start flowing back into risk assets again 4. ETF outflows and speculative positions are unwinding During the 2026 correction, silver ETF saw noticeable outflows as investors reduced exposure and risk appetite faded Historically a sign of changing market sentiment 5. Margin requirements and leverage Back in 2011, CME margin hikes were one of the main catalysts behind the crash Today's market once again looks dominated by speculation after a parabolic rally 6. Fundamentally, silver is stronger than in 2011 due to a structural supply deficit and rising industrial demand However, the speculative and investment side of the market is behaving almost the same way it did in 2011 And unlike gold, silver doesn't benefit much from central bank buying, since central banks mainly accumulate gold, not silver If the 2011-2013 analogy keeps playing out: The current decline may not be the end of the correction A move down to the $50-55 range is possible, and in a more bearish scenario, silver could even fall toward $40+ over the next 6-18 months before industrial demand and supply deficits take control again I've said this before, and everything is still playing out exactly according to plan Turn on notifications. If you're not following me yet, you might realize later that it was a mistake because I warned you Bookmark this. The next phase is gonna be very important

🚨12 HOUR NEWS RECAP 1.⁠ Trump returned to the White House, still full of energy, despite a marathon Middle East peace tour where he saw the last Israeli hostages released from Gaza and then flew to Egypt for the Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit with world leaders. 2.⁠ Screams of joy filled the air as Israeli hostages freed from Gaza after 2 years of captivity were finally reunited with their families. World leaders were united in their praise for Trump in bringing an end to the war. 3.⁠ Leaders from at least 27 countries gathered in Egypt to witness the signing of the historic peace agreement that brought to an end the Gaza war. Trump announced the Trump Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity, declaring the war officially over and a new chapter of stability beginning. 4.⁠ Hamas accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement after airstrikes killed several people in Gaza, and the fatal shooting of 5 Palestinians who crossed a ceasefire line and approached Israeli forces. 5.⁠ Trump is due to posthumously award Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House later today. The ceremony falls on what would have been Charlie’s 32nd birthday. His widow, Erika, will attend with family and conservative leaders. 6.⁠ SpaceX’s latest Starship test flight completed one of its main objectives - opening its side payload door and releasing several dummy satellites while traveling at near-orbital speed. The booster executed its final landing maneuvers smoothly splashing down in the Indian Ocean, marking the second time a Version 2 Starship has completed a full flight profile. 7.⁠ Following Trump’s historic peace deal in Gaza, Time put him on its front cover using a picture he slammed as “the worst of all time. I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture and deserves to be called out.” 8.⁠ Torrential rains slammed central and Gulf Coast Mexico, killing at least 64 people and leaving 65 missing. Over 100,000 homes were flooded, power went out across 5 states, and entire roads and bridges were literally washed away. 9.⁠ A powerful nor’easter, the type of massive winter storm known for heavy coastal flooding and fierce winds, tore up the East Coast, hammering Long Beach with waves up to 16 feet and gusts reaching 45 mph. Reporters on scene described relentless surf and flooding from the Carolinas to New York. 10.⁠ Three police officers are dead and 13 others injured after a booby-trapped farmhouse exploded during an eviction raid in Castel D’Azzano, Italy. Police say 3 siblings refused to leave - and instead turned their home into a death trap, detonating gas cylinders as officers entered.

Before we get into that ingenious cooling stunt, let's first meet the star of the story: Yuncheng (运城), north China's Shanxi Province. This seemingly low-key city actually has a few remarkable identities that may completely change the way you see it. China's "No. 1 City of National Treasures" Yuncheng is home to 100+ cultural heritage sites under national-level protection, with an astonishing concentration of ancient architecture. Step into almost any county in the area, and you may come across a temple, pagoda, or mural that has survived a thousand years. East Asia's Oldest Paleolithic Site? It is home to one of the earliest known Paleolithic sites in East Asia, dating back approximately 1.8 million years. Some European studies even suggest that the site may be more than 2.4 million years old. Salt Lake City, meet your Chinese twin Yuncheng is home to a salt lake spanning roughly 154 square kilometers, with a salt-harvesting history stretching back some 4,000 years. Salt Lake City, meet China's Salt Lake City. Perhaps it's time to make this a sister-city relationship, Salt Lake City Government ? And its waters are actually saltier than those of the Dead Sea, buoyant enough to let a person float effortlessly on the surface. The only thing that doesn't float here is its fame. Hometown of Guan Yu (关羽) China's legendary warrior saint, Guan Yu, was born there more than 1,800 years ago. Celebrated for his unwavering loyalty and valor, and immortalized by the tragedy of a fatal misjudgment in his final years, he went on to influence Chinese culture for nearly two millennia. Even today, countless temples across China dedicated to him remain active, from Taiwan to Xinjiang. By all accounts, Yuncheng has no shortage of history and culture worthy of making headlines. Yet what recently propelled the city into the national spotlight was not its cultural heritage, though. It was the rooftop of an ordinary residential complex-where it suddenly began to "rain." This summer, a punishing heatwave has swept across Europe, while much of China has also been gripped by prolonged high temperatures. Against this backdrop, an unusual cooling system that sends a fine mist drifting down from above has captured nationwide attention. According to the property developer, the system was officially put into operation in August 2024. Each building, 100 meters tall, is equipped with more than 200 high-pressure misting nozzles installed along the rooftop. The fine droplets absorb heat as they evaporate, helping to lower the surrounding temperature. The system enters regular operation each June, with a single cycle lasting about 10 minutes. My colleagues took on-site measurements. Before the system kicked in, the ground temperature within the complex had climbed to 44 degrees Celsius. Once the system began operating, clouds of fine spray descended from above. Children opened umbrellas and played in the artificial "rain." After the spraying cycle ended, measurements showed that the ground temperature had fallen to around 33 degrees Celsius, while the temperature within the mist-covered area dropped significantly, turning a sweltering afternoon into something noticeably cooler and far more comfortable environment. According to the property management, the operating costs are fully covered by the community's shared property-management budget, meaning residents pay nothing extra. The system draws on ordinary tap water. Because the droplets are so fine, most of the water evaporates before it ever reaches the ground. Beyond cooling the air, it helps reduce dust and provides some irrigation for nearby greenery, allowing the same water to serve multiple purposes. This residential community is not the only place experimenting with creative ways to cope with extreme heat. As high temperatures continue, cities across China are introducing increasingly practical and locally adapted cooling measures. In Beijing, Turpan, and many other cities, air-conditioned service stations have opened their doors to sanitation workers, delivery riders, and other outdoor workers. These stations provide watermelon, chilled drinks, ready-to-eat food, and heatstroke-prevention supplies, all free of charge. In some locations, field workers have also been equipped with cooling vests and other protective gear designed for extreme heat. Kaifeng (开封), in central China's Henan Province, has taken an approach that carries a touch of romance all its own. About a thousand years ago, Kaifeng served as the capital of China, during a period when science and technology, urban civilization, and the visual arts flourished. Today, the city is home to several large theme parks and has become one of China's major cultural tourism destinations. Some have even dubbed it "China's Orlando." Kaifeng is also renowned for its watermelons. This year's bumper harvest, however, has left some local growers struggling to find enough buyers. In response, several theme parks have stepped in to purchase large quantities of local watermelons in bulk. The initiative helps farmers expand their sales channels, and allows the parks to hand out thousands of kilograms of free watermelon to visitors each day, offering a refreshing respite from the summer heat. From mist raining down on rooftops, to icy drinks pressed into the hands of delivery riders, to free watermelons handed out by the truckload-different cities, one shared answer. Fighting the heat doesn't always take billion-dollar mega-projects. Sometimes, it just takes a little imagination, and a lot of heart. It might be a shower of mist falling from a rooftop, a wearable cooling suit, or a slice of freshly cut, ice-cold watermelon. What's the coolest heat-relief idea in YOUR city? Drop it in the comments, let's see who wins summer. (And to our friends in the Southern Hemisphere and Alaska-tell us your winter survival tricks instead. We'll need them in December☕)

Today, I taught my kids principle of the combustion engine focused on the crank shaft. We started by having them in groups brainstorm how they believe an engine works, then I simplified it for them, and at the end, have them create small models using toys. First, these are my kids, they are in primary 2 (8 years old). I started with them 2 years ago when they were 6 years old and most of them couldn’t even write their names. We can also do this in Nigeria: 1. Kids are all born the same, but the right nutrition at early age helps cognitive development. Let’s build stable local industries that focus on production of children meals that are rich in proteins and vitamins that are good for the children’s brain development. Too much pap and two which are carbohydrates rich aren’t sufficient, and can affect academic performance of children, whom eventually grow up to be the politicians that think giving poor people giveaways in comment sections is helping the economy. 2. Primary education is way too important to be treated as political privilege or achievement. All the countries that invested in their children such as Japan, China, US, Singapore, Finland have far superior economies and quality of life compared to the countries that didn’t. Teachers are not just civil servants, they are looked at as heroes, soldiers, critical individuals that make or break a society. They earn well, they are taken cared of and they are some of the most intelligent and creative people in a country. A keke driver knows how important his Keke is so he can make money, so he takes care of it. Don’t take care of primary school teachers, you should prepare for poverty and insecurity. Playing the blame game on political parties or candidates and insulting each other on the internet only takes our minds away from what is important. Let’s put aside political, religious, ethnic and sentimental differences and prepare a future for our children and grandchildren so they wouldn’t be slaves to my students in the future. The Nigerian education system and curriculum right now is as good as nothing. 3. Skills are part of education/degree: It is unfortunate that a former student who had so many carryovers in mathematics (which is the backbone of computer science) and barely graduated and purchased highest education certificates is confusing and discouraging people who are putting their sweat and time to get a difficult, expensive and ancient degrees in Nigeria. Considering how he failed many courses so many times, it’s not surprising that he is taking a shot at university education. Well, skills are part of degrees in normal and functioning universities and education systems with updated curriculums that fits its economy. In fact, those skills start from primary school, and I believe the professor should advocate for updated curriculums that include more modern skills, practicals, field trips, work attachments that will jumpstart Nigeria’s failing economy not destroy the little that is left in degrees and the hope millions of poor citizens have for them. 4. Native language is the way to go: Yes Nigeria has many languages, so we can use multiple official local languages in different regions to educate and run the government. English can be an optional subject in school which parents can choose. Sacrifice has to be made in order to develop, so some smaller ethnic groups that have few speakers should adopt one of the major languages in Nigeria as a secondary language to be used at home, and that would the language to use at school. Controversial? Yes, but the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. The past is the past, we can only learn from it. Let’s use these lessons and start building a better future for our children and grandchildren now. Prayers are good, but they aren’t enough and shouldn’t take most of our time and energy. We have to physically work harder than we pray.

A central bank. And Bitcoin. My speech at The Bitcoin Conference 2026 in Las Vegas on 28 April 2026. Video and text; the slide link is below: Today, I want to talk about a strange combination: A central bank. And Bitcoin. Most people do not put these two things together. I do. In monetary policy, a central bank must be conservative. But it must think ahead. When I became Governor of the Czech National Bank in mid-2022, inflation in my country was close to 20 percent. Twenty percent. It was a serious moment. When I took office, I said we would bring inflation back to 2 percent within two years. And we did. Not with magic. With discipline. I said this clearly: Even before covid, money was too cheap for too long. For too long, the system promoted borrowing. For too long, the currency was weakened. We changed that. We kept policy tighter for longer. We supported saving. And the koruna became strong. That, for me, is conservative monetary policy. Our rule is simple: stay hawkish forever. We also manage very large foreign exchange reserves. Very large. We manage about 180 billion dollars in reserves. That is about 44 percent of GDP. Relative to the size of our economy, our reserves are among the largest in the world. So we have to build the right portfolio for the future. Here, you can see the long-term risk and return. It is based on Czech koruna data, the currency in which our books are kept. Bonds are at the low end. Low risk. Low return. Stocks and gold can offer higher returns. But they also bring higher risk. The next point is the Czech National Bank’s portfolio. Over the past four years, we increased the share of equities from 15 to 26 percent. We also increased the share of gold from almost zero to 6 percent. We built a diversified portfolio. A higher expected return than before. Lower risk than an all-stock portfolio. And even lower risk than an all-bond portfolio. But then came the next question. Can we do more? Can we build an even stronger portfolio for the future This is where Bitcoin comes in. The first time I used Bitcoin, I bought a coffee in Prague about ten years ago. Today, that coffee comes to about 350 dollars. It was the most expensive coffee of my life. Bitcoin has had very high returns. But honestly, it looks risky. It is much more volatile than other assets. One day, its price may be much higher. Or it could go to zero. Yes, zero. And that is true for other assets too. A stock can go to zero. Even a bond can fail. That is why it is not wise to bet on just one asset. We have to think about the whole portfolio. The next point on the chart is what we found in our new analysis. This is our model portfolio with 1 percent in Bitcoin. And here comes the interesting part. With 1 percent in Bitcoin, the expected return goes up. And the overall risk stays about the same. That is what our new study shows. Why? Because Bitcoin has low long-term correlation with many traditional assets. It does not move in the same way. And that matters. When you add an asset like this, the whole portfolio can work better. The return can go up. And the risk can stay about the same. That is diversification. Over the long term, Bitcoin can provide returns that are not closely linked to other assets. In some ways, it is similar to venture capital. But it is much more liquid. So we started a separate test portfolio with Bitcoin. A test portfolio. Not a revolution. Not a political statement. A test. We will run it for two years. Then we will publish the results. Then we will decide what comes next. Be conservative in monetary policy. Be innovative in how we work. This is the future.

Islam is conquering Western Europe without any effort at all. The democratic system is like poison to the population that lives under it, letting hostile forces take it over without any interference. That does not happen in China. In the 21st century, I no longer see a Polish king, a French military leader, or a Spanish royal couple saving Europe from the clutches of Islam. There is no one to save Europe. Throughout the historical process of 1,350 years of Islamic aggression against Europe, no one remains to save Europe from itself. By: Ofer Binshtok. * During the Battle of Vienna in 1683, the Polish King John III Sobieski, known as the "savior of Europe," moved with his army from Poland to save Vienna and all of Europe from the Islamic conquest from the east. * In the 8th century, the Islamic conquest reached central France and the Loire Valley on its way to the heart of Europe from the southwest. In 732, at the Battle of Tours and Poitiers, Charles Martel, Duke of the Franks, known as "The Hammer," defeated the invaders and expelled them from France, saving the continent from the conquest moving from Spain. * Between the 8th and 15th centuries AD, during the Reconquista, the Spaniards saved themselves and Europe through a struggle lasting 700 years to expel the Islamic conqueror. In 1492 AD, the armies of Queen Isabella and her husband King Ferdinand drove the remaining Islamic forces back to Africa. * Over the last 50 years, Islam has been conquering Europe from within through immigration, aided by the ignorance of the European Union and the Left regarding Islamic goals. Once a demographic critical mass is reached, the Islamic sword will follow. * In the 21st century, I no longer see a Polish king, a French military leader, or a Spanish royal couple saving Europe from the clutches of Islam. There is no one to save Europe. -- Islamic Art of War Islam wages a continuous global war through various methods and with varying intensity against non-Muslims 24/7, as commanded by the Quran and Muhammad, a war that has persisted for approximately 1400 years and will continue indefinitely. In places where non-Muslims grow weary of conflict and seek peace, avoiding confrontation and attempting to appease Islam, believing they have achieved tranquility through signing agreements with Islam and even allowing its migration into their territories, during this time, Islam builds its strength and attacks them when it senses it has the upper hand, from within and from outside, in the most brutal way possible. This war strategy relies on the Islamic Art of War, based on the Quran and Muhammad's Sunnah. Quran 8:39 - The goal: a world containing only Muslims through war. Quran 98:6 - Demonization of non-Muslims. Quran 3:28 - Deceive non-Muslims. Quran 47:35 - Do not seek peace when you have the upper hand. In other words, attack. Quran 8:60 - During a hudna (ceasefire), Islam prepares for war. Quran 9:123 - Attack nearby non-Muslims. Quran 9:5 - Kill every non-Muslim in the world. In 622 AD, Muhammad migrated from Mecca to the settlement of Medina (Yathrib) in the Arabian Peninsula, where he was received as a refugee by the Jews who had established and controlled the prosperous region, granting him shelter. Within approximately eight years, after building his strength, Muhammad eliminated the presence of Jews and other non-Muslims in the area. In 628 AD, Muhammad signed a ten-year hudna (truce) agreement in Hudaibiya with the Quraysh tribe of Mecca, as his forces were weaker than theirs. In 630 AD, when his power was sufficiently strong, he violated the agreement with the Quraysh, attacked Mecca, conquered it with ease, and eradicated all other cultures present there. Muhammad's Sunnah, which is binding in Islam according to Quran 33:21, commands every Muslim to emulate all of Muhammad’s words and deeds, which are considered sacred. This is what Islamic racism looks like in reality, which you ignore like the three monkeys. Maldives - ~100% Mauritania - ~100% Saudi Arabia - ~100% Somalia - ~99.8% Afghanistan - ~99.7% Algeria - ~99% Iran - ~99% Morocco - ~99% Niger - ~99% Tunisia - ~99% Turkey - ~99% Yemen - ~99% Comoros - ~98% Bahrain - ~95–98% Iraq - ~95–98% Kuwait - ~95–98% Oman - ~95–98% Qatar - ~95–98% Senegal - ~97.2% Libya - ~97% Jordan - ~97% Sudan - ~97% Djibouti - ~97% Pakistan - ~96–97% Mali - ~95% Egypt - ~90–94% Bangladesh - ~90–91% And more. This is what Islamic racism looks like in reality, which you ignore like the three monkeys. Immigration and rights? Only in one direction – an Islamic invasion through immigration. A one-way flow from these countries to the West. In the future, Western Europe's population will become Islamic, with percentages similar to these countries. It will be a long and painful process of Islamization, especially for young girls and women.
