My Letter to Aaron Rodgers I'm writing this letter because I've slowly realized how difficult it is to impact change in the world. It requires influential people to see the paradigm shift. Recently you were asked by executive producer Al Dukes about Malaysian Airlines Flight 370. You responded indicating you were familiar with the videos. I understand your skepticism. Those videos aren't what anyone expected. It's frankly too much for most people to accept. The videos represent the largest conspiracy in history, the theft of a Boeing 777 and the suppression of gravitational manipulation. Where this science and technology leads is to Free Energy. I want you to know I'm just a normal guy who saw two videos, investigated them, the missing plane, and discovered we really are hiding 'magical' technology from the world. In a situation this profound you have to start by proving the lie. In this case it's the false narrative we've been sold on by the media of the missing plane. This was not pilot suicide and the United States knows exactly what happened. Planes don't crash without leaving massive debris fields. There was over 1000lbs of foam seat cushions and not one was found. The pilot didn't practice the route, the simulator data flightpath was of MH150 to Jeddah the pilot was scheduled to fly on Feb 4th. The simulator data was ruled not suspicious. The pilot was categorically ruled out by all parties including the officials, family, and friends. Florence De Changy got his medical records from his family and confirmed there were no red flags. Where the plane was lost from radar there was still five radars in range from three different countries, Indonesia, Thailand, and India. None of these countries have ever made their data publicly available. As you pointed out, Rolls Royce and Boeing also know what happened to this plane as Rolls Royce engine data transmits frequent updates. Rolls Royce has never made their data publicly available either. The United States military has a global persistent surveillance system known as SBIRS, the Space-Based Infrared System by Lockheed Martin. There's no possible way this system would not have seen the debris field of a Boeing 777 in the ocean. The military also has a system called SOSUS, the sound surveillance system which is a global network of acoustic detectors that can even pinpoint a tiny submersible implosion. Remember when the Navy heard the Titan sub pop and didn't say anything for five days? There's no evidence the plane crashed in the South Indian Ocean. There's also acoustic detectors in Diego Garcia and Western Australia both of which should have heard the plane crash in the SIO, yet a recent study by Cardiff University found no detections during the duration of the suspected flightpath. One candidate detection was found on one hydrophone almost an hour after the plane would have run out of fuel. Over the Horizon Radar can see for thousands of miles by bouncing signals off the ionosphere. Both Pine Gap and Diego Garcia should have been able to track the plane from take off to crash. The plane also flew directly past Cobra Gold/Cope Tiger military exercises between Thailand and the United States in the Andaman Sea. We're supposed to believe they weren't tracking a rogue plane? Why did the United States give up the search for MH370 after just a month? Ghyslain Wattrelos, French father and husband, was told by an intelligence source that the Americans know what happened and there were two AWACS (radar planes) in the area. As for the debris that was found, I believe that is from MH370. However, there's not enough debris to confirm a plane crashed and the debris washed up on the wrong continent. Drift modeling was done and the bulk of the debris should have washed up in Australia. It's actually impossible based on the currents for the debris to have shown up on mainland Africa in just one year. If you look at a map a much better location for the debris to have entered the water is the Maldives. The only reason we think the plane even went into the South Indian Ocean (SIO) is the Inmarsat satellite pings who has connections to US intelligence. The raw telemetry data was not released until March 27th, 2014, eight days after the satellite video was uploaded on youtube. This is important because there's coordinates in the satellite video that indicate the Nicobar islands, the same location the plane is believed to have turned into the SIO. What really happened to MH370 is an emergency event related to the 487lbs of dangerous lithium ion batteries onboard. This even is supported by at least 20 witnesses and the flightpath. Mike McKay saw the plane on fire briefly for a few seconds from his oil rig, nine witnesses along the coast heard loud noises as the same time, eight fishermen who saw it flying low ten minutes later, a man on the coast who saw it on fire, and Katherine Tee, who saw the plane in the Nicobar Islands an hour later glowing orange, with dark smoke coming out of the back of it, flying low and descending. Why did the Malaysian Minister of Defense say they didn't send up jets to track the plane because they knew it was commercial and not hostile? The only way they could know that is if they had communication with the plane. They simply didn't release all the communications publicly. China intercepted a communication from the US Navy that was only reported in the China Times of the plane disintegrating and attempting an emergency ditching, consistent with Katherine Tee's sighting and the MH370 videos. I spoke with Billie Vincent recently, former security director for the FAA. In 2014 even before the batteries were known to be on the plane he had deduced that a fire emergency event was the most likely scenario. He suspected this because of similar incidents such as UPS Flight 6 where the same thing happened. One pilot was knocked out from the smoke and they couldn't land because they couldn't see. The plane ended up crashing. Dr. Victor Ettel is an expert on the science and manufacturing of lithium ion batteries and he too is on the record theorizing that the battery fire could have knocked out the people on the plane. Expert Clive Irving agreed and said that MH370's turnback was consistent with the pilots trying to find the nearest airport. Lithium ion batteries were later banned as cargo from passenger planes. Why cover up a fire event? The MH370 videos are why. Just like how you are skeptical, those videos are not something the public is ready to accept even in 2024, let alone in 2014. I had a hard time accepting it until I spoke to government related engineers and started reading scientific papers. It's all real and it's hidden in plain sight. I'm not sure if the fire was an accident and we were trying to save the high value passengers, the 20 Freescale Semiconductor engineers connected to US Aerospace and Defense, or if it was a counter-espionage operation from the start. I expect the reason why we teleported the plane is multi-purposed. Retain the passengers if alive, retain sensitive cargo, and send a message to our adversaries. Don't F with us. Even if China/Russia knew there's nothing they could possibly say. No one would believe them. China leaked satellite imagery a few days after the plane went missing and it looks just like three orbs around a larger object. They also hacked Malaysia the day after the plane went missing and stole classified information about the plane. We have two military videos in perfect synchronization from two completely different angles without a discrepancy on a single frame. The videos corroborate the overall fire event. We see the plane flying low, descending, with smoke coming out of the back of it. We see a heat signature in the belly of the plane where the smoke is presumably coming out of the AC heat exhaust ports near the landing gear. Lieutenant Commander Edward C. Lin leaked the videos. The case against him is shrouded in secrecy and the sentence he got after a plea deal is disproportionate to the charges. The timeframe of his service with the spy plane squadron VPU-2 Wizards is damning, within one month of the plane going missing. His lawyer said the classified information in question is available on the internet and he was caught with flight manifests that include search and rescue code names. The science of the orbs is everything that ufo lore claims exists. Gravity manipulation, mass reduction, warp drives, wormholes, and zero-point energy. I was surprised to learn they're all directly connected by the same science. Spacetime is not empty. It is filled with energy in an equilibrium state. 'Gravity' is just an induced phenomenon based on relative energy densities. If you reduce the equilibrium state of the energy densities in a localized region you produce 'negative energy.' That's what the dark lines in front of the orbs are doing. That's why the orbs are simply falling into the geodesic path they're creating for themselves, and exhibit zero inertia. This is subluminal warp drive. The orbs are also showing characteristics of magnetic monopoles, which is why we see the odd shaped heat signature. They are made of plasma and we're looking at low energy nuclear reactions, also known as cold fusion. The field that creates the spherical region is the non-radiating barrier of the magnetic field. The zap itself is an endothermic event, an absorption of energy. That's why it's black and cold in the thermal drone video. As far as I know this is the first ever endothermic event on video. Just like folding a piece of paper and making a hole, this plane is 'teleporting' to a different location in Spacetime, faster than the speed of light from the observer's prospective. For the people going through the wormhole, it's like going through a doorway. Based on the plane flying East in the satellite video and the right hand rule in electrical engineering, the vector of travel for the plane is backwards, to the West. A fire suppression device washed up in the Maldives a few weeks after the plane disappeared and 15-20 islanders on a small island saw the plane in the early morning hours on the day of the disappearance. It's extremely suspicious that this evidence was dismissed without investigation. The only logical place to hide a the plane is at US military base Diego Garcia, isolated from all major landmasses, out of radar range, and not open to commercial traffic. This base is extremely secretive. There's people who accidentally washed ashore there a few years ago and they've not been allowed to leave. I could keep going. The satellite video is a Citrix remote terminal session logged into the real satellite database. The orbs displace the smoke trails with accurate fluid dynamics in the satellite video. There's a ton more evidence and it all points to the MH370 videos being the authentic true story of what happened to the plane. I don't want people to blindly believe me. I want them to make up their own minds based on the evidence. The only thing I can do is show people the door, they must walk through it for themselves. The videos and the science will be proven to be real with the passage of time. Science like this cannot be hidden forever. It is a discovery, not an invention. The scary question is, "why are we hiding it?" For that, I've reached a dark conclusion. This technology will lead to the eradication of our civilization. With this technology we can extract endless energy directly from the zero-point fluctuations. 'Free' energy. We can produce weapons of unfathomable destructive capability including a black hole. I push for disclosure because I want the world to understand the risks and choose our own fate.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DAILY PROGRAM The Fellowship Daily Program is about to celebrate one year, and what a year it has been. All through this crazy "bear market" artists have continued to show up because this AI video thing is happening now...not tomorrow but today in front of us all! To be here means that you were here when the seeds for the future AI filmmaking was being experimented with. With over 130 artists from around the world, experimenting and pushing their practice to new levels, we come to a year that will go down in history as the first period of AI video with so much production and experimentation. It is not that AI video didn't exist before, but 2023-2024 is the year with the most technical advancements that have ever happened for this medium, and the number of creators using the tools have come to a critical mass. This period is also very much based on creating visual narratives and storytelling. It is also about control and guiding the hallucinations into the artists' visual language. This period is about visual narratives that contain stories or experiments like we had not seen before. The Daily NFT collection will also contain a mix of possibly all AI tools available to date. From Runway to Kling to a few more we will announce shortly. The Daily collection is one of a kind, built in public, during the work market for NFTs, but with some of the most talented artists in the world, pushing, pushing, pushing. Some of the amazing artists who have "grown up" in the program include niceaunties, noper, LEGIO_X, Mind Wank, Andrea Ciulu, Frank Manzano, B O E Y, Ethereal Gwirl, Le Moon, doopiidoo among many many more! We are happy to add a few new names and new works to the collection. Stay tuned for their releases coming in September. Video by Running a Fever

THE SACRED PURPOSE OF ORGASM This knowledge has been kept from you by the tyrant consciousness that has controlled this plane, third dimensional planet Earth, for the past 6,000 years. The tyrants found that it was much easier to control your species if they brainwashed you with sexual guilt and suppressed your natural sexuality. The power that flows through your body is the same power that allows the rest of us (yes, you are not alone!) to access the myriad of nested layers of multidimensional realities that exist and have always existed all around you. Waves upon waves of energy Your scientists and doctors will tell you that an orgasm is a matter of blood and nerve endings. This physical explanation is not even the tip of the iceberg. Your orgasms take place in a realm that remains largely invisible to most of you. When you experience that sweet ephemeral pleasure you call orgasm, something is occurring in the invisible realm which is very powerful. If you were able to see the waves of energy that pour from your bodies at the moment of orgasm, you would be very careful what you think about when this happens. There are waves upon waves of energy generated by your chakras (energy centers), your endocrine system, and your physical reactions. Be very careful what you are thinking These waves of energy correlate precisely to your thoughts, meaning your consciousness. As you release these frequencies, an entire package flows out into the invisible realms. This is why it is very important for you to be careful of what you are thinking at this moment. Those who are foolish enough to tune into dark thoughts, such as pain and bondage, during their sexual experiences will find themselves plugged into a lower plane of consciousness with some very draining companions. All those wonderfully hideous images painted in the Middle Ages will give you a good idea of the company you can expect to keep. The mind parasites Not only will you hook yourself up to some very nasty entities, but you will find your sexual experience limited and limiting. Your lust will increase, but it will never really be satisfied. Those lower dimensional forces which you have invited to feed upon your orgasmic display will not want you to move on. They will always want more from you. This is why pornography, especially the victim style of pornography, has very big cooties! These negative draining parasitical entities can easily be felt even in cyberspace. A Sacred Orgasm draws pure souls If you want to use your experience to uplift you and your lover, then you both must focus on your mutual consciousness. Your endocrine system works in tandem with you chakras to emit waves of energy. These wave forms have the frequency and even color which correspond precisely with the level of your consciousness from your thoughts. These waves can be seen by those souls who are waiting in the invisible realms for an entry frequency. In simple terms, if you want a child when you are in sexual union, your orgasm will attract the level of consciousness you are creating. You will attract to you the type of consciousness you are generating. Magnetism is the law of the Invisible Realms: Like attracts like. The child/soul is attracted to a similar consciousness, meaning whatever thoughts you are having while you are making love. Your orgasm is an exact expression of your consciousness If you are drunk or on drugs, you will attract a soul from those realms. If you are angry or having some dark fantasy, then you will magnetize a soul from those realms. Consciousness is everything, even in the act of love making. Even if you are not creating a child, you are still sending out masses of energy onto the Earth plane and into the Invisible Realms. This energy greatly effects everything, including the fertility of your fields, the quality of your lives, and what you call Nature. The energies of orgasm can lift the entire planet, if properly done.

MEET CHARLIE — AND WITNESS THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA IN HEALING✨ Today, a young boy named Charlie stepped into a capsule unlike anything most have ever seen — the ThetaPod. But this isn’t just technology. This is conscious medicine. Day 1 marks the start of his 28-day healing journey — one guided not by pharmaceuticals or invasive procedures, but by frequency, resonance, and the forgotten intelligence of the human biofield. The ThetaPod is a state-of-the-art wellness capsule — a quantum recalibration chamber designed to restore harmony between brain, body, and soul. Using PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields) and neuroacoustic entrainment, it gently guides the nervous system back to balance, lowers stress hormones, reactivates cellular repair, and allows the mind to enter deep theta brainwaves — the gateway to true transformation. This isn’t speculation. This is happening. And Charlie is living proof. With no needles. No chemicals. No side effects. His body is being invited — not forced — to remember its original design. And it’s responding. We are witnessing the convergence of ancient wisdom and future science: Where meditation meets magnetism. Where biology meets light. Where healing becomes a return — not a battle. In just a few sessions, children like Charlie begin to experience: 🧠 Deeper sleep 💛 Emotional calm ✨ Mental clarity 🎯 Enhanced focus 🌿 Even spontaneous recovery from chronic imbalances that defied explanation. We were told healing is slow. We were told it’s complicated. But what if… it’s not? What if we’ve simply been out of resonance with the field that created us? This isn’t just Charlie’s story. It’s the soft unveiling of a global remembrance. A quiet miracle. A signal to those who feel — who know — that something extraordinary has arrived. Because the future of healing doesn’t scream. It hums. In light, in rhythm, in sacred geometry. And for Charlie… It all began with one step. Inside one pod. On one unforgettable day.

This is probably one of the best known segments of gun camera footage depicting a B-17 interception and has been featured in countless documentaries, but the raw footage is worth examining in detail in its entirety. 0:00 As the Bf 110 pilot fires an initial burst, ineffective due to insufficient deflection, puffs smoke can be seen coming from the bomber's ventral ball and tail turrets as the gunners return fire. This fails to dissuade the attacking pilot who continues to approach his target. In the distance the main bomber formation can be seen. The combat box was no doubt an effective tactic in terms of maximizing firepower and protection, and there was a significant effort made to break up these formations, such as for example using Werfer-Granate 21 rockets. The Luftwaffe used a system of points to award decorations on the Western Front detailed below and it's worth noting that the "Herausschuss" - for example damaging a B-17 sufficiently that it would separate from the formation - is given the same value and shooting down a single-engined fighter, this gives some idea of its importance and what a challenge it was considered to be. Downing a four-engined bomber already separated from the formation was less laudable than separating it in the first place as can be seen below: - Abschuss (Destroyed) Single-engined plane destroyed: 1 point Twin-engined plane destroyed: 2 points Three-engined plane destroyed: 3 points Four-engined plane destroyed: 3 points - Herausschuss (Separation) Twin-engined plane damaged: 1 point Three- or four-engined plane damaged: 2 points - Endgueltige (Final Destruction) Final destruction of a damaged twin-engined plane: 0.5 point Final destruction of a damaged four-engined plane: 1 point For some reason, perhaps due to previous damage or mechanical trouble, this particular B-17 was unable to keep up with the rest of the squadron and has therefore found itself singled out for attack. Even as the footage starts there appears to be some damage around the top of the vertical stabilizer. 0:22 As the Bf 110 settles on the B-17's 6 o'clock, the tail gunner continues to return fire with no apparent effect. The attacking pilot also pulls the trigger and starts landing concentrated hits on the B-17 with debris flying off. This illustrates the mechanism by which the German high capacity "Minengeschoss" shells were effective. Unlike armor piercing incendiary projectiles that needed to strike critical components like engines, fuel tanks and crew members in order to being an aircraft down, these explosive shells would detonate within a few inches of penetrating the aircraft skin and blow off parts of the aircraft structure itself, either making it unflyable or tearing open fuel tanks beyond what self-sealing systems could protect against. Judging by the footage the shells are from 20mm cannon, with the high explosive rounds each containing almost 20 grams of high explosive. At the 30 second mark a shell impacts the wing outboard of the #4 engine and the size of the hole made by this single impact is clearly visible. There is a good number of strikes landing around the tail gun position but it still appears to fire briefly, then falls silent after a couple of further cannon shell impacts by about the 40 second mark. 0:53 The ventral ball turret starts to rotate with the guns pointing straight down as another burst of cannon fire hits the aircraft in the #3 engine nacelle and wing root. This is the position the ball turret would need to be in for the gunner to exit his post and enter the fuselage. It is possible that he was preparing to bail out. At the one minute mark a shell impacts the ball turret directly and blows off a panel. A small fire has also started in the trailing edge of the port wing. 1:08 Now at point blank range, the Bf 110 pilot continues to rake the bomber with cannon shells, walking his fire across the fuselage and port wing. The bombers engines appear to continue functioning and from this angle the shells would be detonating in the aircraft structure well before reaching them. As the Bf 110 closes in the damage to the B-17 becomes more apparent. The rear fuselage and starboard wing are riddled with holes and the starboard horizontal stabilizer is in tatters. The tail gunner's bullet resistant window appears to have been shattered by a direct hit. The port waist gun hangs upwards as it would if no one was holding it, although there does appear to be some movement on the starboard gun. With the attacking fighter having been able to approach to bomber at such close range with impunity, it is clear that the gunners are either dead or incapacitated. It's also worth nothing that the Bf 110's rear gunner would have been equipped with a MG 81 Z twin-barreled 7.92mm machine gun with a rate of fire of over 50 rounds per second, and he would doubtless have taken the opportunity to add to the B-17 crew's misery as his aircraft overtook the bomber. Unfortunately the exact date and location and therefore the identity of the crew involved appears to have been lost to history, but this remains one of the most harrowing gun camera clips ever filmed and a poignant illustration of the horrors young men faced in the skies over Europe during the Second World War.

The sun produces more energy in one second than humanity has used in its entire existence. SpaceX thinks the only way to actually use more of it is to leave Earth. Here's why Elon Musk is racing to build data centers in space: 1. Musk frames civilizational progress using the Kardashev scale, a measurement created by a Russian physicist that ranks civilizations by how much energy they can harness. Type one means harnessing a planet's full energy, type two means harnessing a star's energy, and type three means harnessing a galaxy's energy. 2. Right now, humanity registers as essentially nonexistent on this scale. We harness less than a trillionth of the sun's total power output. Musk says we are not even at the level of a micro soul on the scale. 3. The sun makes up 99.86 percent of all mass in the entire solar system. Earth is so small in comparison that it falls into the leftover miscellaneous category alongside everything that is not the sun or Jupiter. 4. Only about half a billionth of the sun's energy even reaches Earth's cross section, and most of that cannot be used because 70 percent of Earth is covered in water, and much of the remaining land is uninhabitable terrain like Antarctica and Siberia. 5. To meaningfully climb the Kardashev scale, humanity has to go to space. Reaching even one millionth of the sun's total energy output would require increasing civilizational energy use by more than a million times current levels. 6. Getting to just 1 percent of the sun's energy would make a civilization vastly more powerful than ours is today. Musk says even reaching that level would represent an extremely advanced civilization. 7. Three core requirements stand between humanity and this goal: mass to orbit capability, a massive amount of solar power, and enough AI chips to actually use that power. 8. Starship solves the mass to orbit problem. It is designed to be the first rocket in history with full and rapid reusability, a breakthrough Musk calls absolutely necessary for making life multi-planetary and for ascending the Kardashev scale at all. 9. Reusability is the same principle behind every successful mode of transport. Cars, planes, boats, and bicycles are all reusable. If airplanes were thrown away after every flight, flying would be far too expensive for anyone to use. 10. Starship is already the largest, heaviest, and most powerful flying object ever built. Version 3 produces more than double the thrust of the Saturn V moon rocket, and version 4 is expected to produce nearly three times that thrust. 11. SpaceX currently delivers between 85 and 90 percent of all mass that reaches orbit from Earth using Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy. With Starship, the company aims to scale mass to orbit from roughly 2,500 tons a year to millions of tons a year within about three years. 12. The proposed AI satellites are actually simpler to build than Starlink satellites. They mainly need solar cells, radiators, and laser links, without the complex phased array and parabolic antennas that Starlink satellites require. 13. The first version of the SpaceX AI satellite targets 150 kilowatts of peak power and 120 kilowatts of sustained power, roughly matching the output of a single Nvidia GB300 compute rack here on Earth. 14. These satellites will connect to each other through laser links and to the Starlink constellation, which then relays data to the ground. Despite orbiting 600 to 800 kilometers above Earth, the added latency is roughly only 3 milliseconds. 15. Heat management in space is actually easier than on Earth because radiators can simply release heat directly into the vacuum, removing the need for the massive cooling infrastructure required by ground based data centers. 16. SpaceX already operates around 10,000 Starlink satellites and claims to be the only company with real experience safely operating constellations at that scale, which gives them a head start in managing potentially thousands or even up to a million AI satellites. 17. To actually scale chip production to the levels needed, SpaceX is planning what it calls a Terafab, a chip manufacturing facility expected to span roughly 100 million square feet, about ten times the size of the existing Tesla Gigafactory in Texas. 18. The rough timeline targets reaching an annualized rate of 1 gigawatt of space based AI compute by the end of next year, scaling by roughly 10x per year afterward, eventually aiming for a terawatt per year, which is twice the entire current electricity consumption of the United States. 19. To push three orders of magnitude beyond even that terawatt goal, Musk describes building a mass driver on the moon, an electromagnetic rail gun style system that uses the moon's lack of atmosphere and lower gravity to launch satellites into space without needing a rocket at all. 20. Musk frames the long term vision in deeply personal terms. If enough mass and infrastructure eventually moves to the moon, it would become accessible enough that almost anyone who wants to go could go, and potentially even live there permanently.

This is WILD! Anthropic just became the most valuable AI company on earth and what Chamath said months ago explains exactly why this moment matters (Save this). Anthropic closed a $65 billion Series H round at a $965 billion post-money valuation surpassing OpenAI's $852 billion valuation from March and making Anthropic the highest-valued private company in history. Just three months ago, in February, Anthropic had raised $30 billion at a $380 billion valuation meaning the company nearly tripled in value in a single quarter. Claude's run rate revenue crossed $47 billion today, up from $30 billion in April, up from $9 billion at the end of 2025, a pace of revenue growth that has no comparable precedent in business history. Now go back and watch what Chamath said, because he called the entire arc of this. "I've never seen a business like this. And I'd say the same thing about Anthropic. Nobody in the history of the world has ever seen two businesses like this at this scale. These are trillion dollar companies. They both are. And they both deserve to be." He said that before the $965 billion number. Chamath Palihapitiya also said something that most people skipped over, that OpenAI and Anthropic need to get public as fast as humanly possible because of what happens after. Chamath laid out a specific sequencing thesis, SpaceX goes public first and does great, the next company does good to great, then appetite runs out, because the market simply cannot absorb trillions of dollars of new demand in rapid succession. Today, Anthropic's $65 billion round may be precisely the move that locks in its position before that window narrows fortifying the balance sheet before the public markets get crowded. But Chamath's deeper warning cuts through the celebration, once SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are all public, the AI technology baked into all three will cannibalize the moats of every other tech company, compressing tech sector P/E ratios toward non-tech levels and making the software businesses of the last decade obsolete. "It will eliminate and it will cannibalize and it will erode most of the moats that support this differential trading," he said directly. "I'll buy the first five or six years of this story, but I'm not buying year 15 of this anymore because these three guys are going to build something." The companies getting valued at near-$1 trillion today are not just winning but rather are the instruments by which everything else eventually gets repriced.

Charlotte Tetley should never have died the way she did. At the age of 33 she sat down on railway tracks in Macclesfield and was killed by an oncoming train. Newspapers have reported her death as a tragedy caused by mental health struggles. That framing hides the truth. Charlotte's death was not inevitable. It was the result of years of systemic failure neglect and betrayal by the very authorities who were supposed to protect her. Charlotte was not simply a woman with complex mental health history. She was a survivor of the Rochdale grooming gangs. There is a full article I have written that I will share later today. The full story is horrific. And the ongoing silence from the authorities only demonstrates one thing - the cover up continues. 🔴 Support the work. This fight is far from over. 👉 _________ They silenced victims. They erased evidence. They persecuted whistleblowers, discredited survivors, buried official reports, and protected predators. They thought no one would fight back and that they had got away with what they did. They were wrong. I’m not Maggie Oliver. I’m not Tommy Robinson. I’m a political campaigner. My mission is clear: to expose the cover-up, explain the mechanics of corruption, educate the nation, and show people how to fight back. That’s why they tried to imprison me. They know how dangerous my voice is. This is why they spent 3 years fabricating evidence and trying to falsely prosecute me. And when they failed, the Labour Party tried and failed to sue me. Holding those responsible to account, including those who traded children for votes, won’t happen unless many more of you stand with me. Every day I can continue to campaign, more people learn the truth. I can’t do this alone. If my words have ever helped you make sense of a broken system, if they’ve ever made you feel seen, heard, or hopeful, please don’t scroll past. 🔴 Support the work. This fight is far from over. 👉 Just £3/month or £30/year. That’s 75p a week. Pennies to most -everything to help keep me going. 🔴 Prefer a one-off contribution? 👉 👉 This is the fight. This is the moment. There will not be another. - Raja 🙏

50% DROP INCOMING: LEGENDARY INVESTOR JEREMY GRANTHAM SAYS WE ARE AT THE MOST DANGEROUS MARKET PEAK EVER Jeremy Grantham has watched transformative technologies suck in massive capital before. Railroads and fiber optics changed the world yet still produced devastating bubbles that burst. He now sees the same pattern repeating with AI on an even larger scale. The very spending wave that interrupted the 2022 decline is building the trigger that will end this market cycle while the global environment stands ready to make any shock far worse. THE AI CAPEX BUBBLE GUARANTEED TO POP ➡️ Transformative ideas like AI always attract far more money than they can productively use in the early years. ➡️ Everyone sees the potential and throws capital at it creating classic overinvestment. ➡️ History shows this pattern with railroads and internet infrastructure both ended in brutal busts after the initial excitement. THE GLOBAL TRIGGER AMPLIFIER ➡️ Geopolitics from Ukraine to the Middle East and Taiwan now threaten energy and trade routes at any moment. ➡️ Trade wars are reversing the globalization that supported growth for decades. ➡️ Climate change has begun cutting global GDP by half a percent a year while insurance becomes unavailable in many areas. THE MARKET THAT CANNOT WITHSTAND THE SHOCK ➡️ Valuations sit at the highest levels relative to GDP ever seen. ➡️ Profit margins are at peak levels that have always mean reverted violently. ➡️ Breadth has already narrowed in past cycles right before the real damage began. THE INSTITUTIONAL FAILURE TO SPOT THE TURN ➡️ Career risk prevents big firms from ever warning clients to exit at dangerous peaks. ➡️ They must always extrapolate today's strong conditions as if they will last forever. ➡️ Only independent investors can see the setup clearly and act before the trigger fires. THE BOTTOM LINE The same AI capital spending that rescued the market in 2022 is now creating its own bubble on a scale that guarantees a painful reversal. Layer that on top of the worst global environment in living memory and even a modest trigger will produce cascading losses far beyond what most expect. Great market peaks like this are traditionally followed by the worst of times. So don't kid yourself. The trigger is already being pulled while almost everyone still believes the good times will simply continue. #JeremyGrantham #AIBubble #MarketTrigger #EconomicWarning #BubbleBurst #GeopoliticalRisk #ClimateImpact

The false prophets of the "New Media" Dear international friends and users of X, We are witnessing a dangerous situation unfold where Romania is being used by popular accounts on the platform to create panic and a false image of what is actually happening in the world. One of those accounts is Mario Nawfal, whom I choose to reference because I met him a few months ago and helped my partner film an interview which now seems incredible to listen to. Everyone in the crypto industry had an image of Mario from the last cycle, and it was interesting to see him pivot to what is now called "New Media" and the success he was able to achieve mainly because of retweets from Elon Musk. During the interview you can watch below, he talks about the high level of attention he receives and the responsibility that comes with it. He admits to taking a side in US politics by supporting Donald Trump because he is a "free speech" advocate, but other than that, he says that his journalism is objective regarding Ukraine/Gaza or any other hot topic around the world. He also speaks highly about posting factual information and not misinformation. Now on the current subject, I feel he is not only taking a side but also spreading significant misinformation about the situation in Romania, and I want to help you understand by clarifying some of these "facts." He refers to Calin Georgescu as "the rightful president of Romania." Let me explain what happened here. Romania had a presidential election at the end of 2024. This type of election in Romania is split into two rounds unless one of the candidates gets more than 50% of the votes. In that case, the candidate wins from the first round and gets to be installed as president. Calin Georgescu won the first round with 22.94% of the votes, which equals 2,120,401 votes out of 9,242,186. The total number of eligible voters on the lists was 18,021,800. By simple math, he obtained the vote of 11.77% of Romanians allowed to vote. Although we can objectively admit he was a favorite for the second round based on these numbers, the election was annulled. The Constitutional Court of Romania first validated the first round and then two days later decided to cancel the election after voting had already started in some areas outside the country where voting takes three days to help Romanian citizens living abroad cast their votes. Romania's president at that time declassified the documents based on which the CCR canceled the elections, and most of the data given to the public was vague. It mentioned interference from another state, social media manipulation, or the cost of the campaign being different than previously declared. Georgescu declared 0$ (ZERO) campaign budget. Now again, even if that would be enough to cancel the election, we all agree that the way the situation unfolded is terrible. It showed the lack of interest from Romanian authorities regarding the elections or, worse, parts of the system that accepted all of this before and during the vote. The root of all problems Much like all over the world, Romania is a country with corrupt politicians. Most of the time in the 35 years of democracy, the same parties ruled the country with one main goal: FILL THE POCKETS WHILE YOU CAN. I'm pretty sure you know what that feels like and thus understand that most of the population is fed up and really wants change. It all erupted in the past 2-3 years with inflation skyrocketing after the pandemic and the cost of living becoming unbearable for some parts of the population. Now here comes Calin Georgescu. A self-portrayed savior of the people and a fighter against the current establishment, he campaigned mainly on social media. Most of his ideology is nationalist, populist, and Christian Orthodox. Most of us had no idea who he was until the very last day before the first round, especially in big cities, and the fact that he won struck the country like a truck. In fact, some of his voters declared that they had no idea who he was, but social media, especially TikTok, portrayed him as the savior, and the other options were people they couldn't vote for anymore. One week before the election, most polls gave Georgescu less than 5% and, in the best cases, 8% of the votes. So you can now understand the surprise we had after the counting was done. After that night, Romanians started to analyze the winner of the first round, and what they found was sometimes scary and other times funny—ranging from "There are microchips in Pepsi that enter your body like a laptop" to "The moon landing was fake", "5G technology is extremely dangerous" or "Covid is not real, you can't see it." You can find most of his statements on this website with sources: Setting aside some of these statements, which are mostly harmless, he said things like "Romania should look towards Russian wisdom." He even said he would be ready to leave NATO if it felt necessary and criticized the EU and the way it treats Romania. While we can agree on some small details in these claims, you have to understand the raw feeling of Romanians when it comes to Russia after more than 40 years of communism. It's the same in most of the Eastern Bloc, and it is being passed from one generation to another. And it is mostly hate. Romania is not the most developed country in Europe, but it grew a lot after being accepted into NATO and the EU, and you can check the economic data that sustains this. That being said, you can probably understand why some of those statements were labeled as dangerous by parts of the population that doesn't want to accept even a small chance of leaving the EU/NATO and turning toward "Russian wisdom." Back to our current government One thing that actually unites most Romanians these days is their lack of trust in the current political scene. There is a feeling of exhaustion among us, and we just want honest people ruling the country. Probably just a dream, as my personal take is it will never happen and most of this drama is just "circus". It's always the same situation, just different pockets. Our current prime minister, Marcel Ciolacu , was recently investigated by journalists for different private flights paid for by a company that scammed many Romanians in the real estate industry. Of course, some of those involved in the scam are also politicians. So you probably now understand why we also want change. The situation in Romania is wild these days. We do want change; some think Georgescu is that change, some think he is exactly what we don't need. I don't want to make any judgments in this article. I'm trying to show you what I think "New Media" and "Citizen journalism" should be, at least in my view. What I thought Mario also stands for after that interview. In the course of the last few weeks, Mario has posted every step of Georgescu alongside a network of other popular accounts, some of them known for edgy takes or straightforward propaganda, like Jackson Hinkle or Alex Jones. He even came to Romania to interview Calin and George Simion and said he was afraid. Afraid of what? What did he think he did wrong to be afraid of? Nothing. Just the usual recipe of fear to create drama for views. Many Romanians are asking him in replies to actually dig deeper into the matter and to listen to everyone, but he clearly took a side and goes forward. Why? We don't know for sure; there are some people claiming he was paid to campaign for Georgescu, but there is no actual proof of that being the case. Maybe it's because he wants to continue with the whole "Anti-Soros" agenda widely spread even by Elon Musk these days. We don't know, and I don't want to point out a reason without proof or facts. In fact, that's exactly why I wrote this piece. I'm tired of Old Media, and now the concept of "New Media" is failing harder than I would've ever imagined. Misinformation spreads the fastest on the internet, and most people don't take the time to double or triple check. It is exactly the same practice of biased mainstream media, but for the other side. It's no longer "it must be true, I saw it on CNN" but "it must be true, I saw *insert popular account* posted it." We are witnessing a difficult situation, not only in Romania, and I think journalism should evolve into what it should've always been. But this is not the way. We need to present facts and acknowledge the responsibility, especially as our accounts grow bigger. I encourage every one of you to join the conversation and fill the gaps that I might've missed. Bring facts, bring arguments, do not bring insults. I hope I was clear enough and that this helps some of you understand the situation better. I would love to see you help this post get the attention it needs. Thank you, andreibratucu

BIGGEST ENERGY CRISIS IN HISTORY: $150 OIL IN WEEKS AS INVENTORIES PLUNGE TO RECORD LOWS Eric Nuttall, partner and senior portfolio manager at Ninepoint Partners, delivered a sobering message in his Bloomberg TV interview. We are living through the biggest energy crisis anyone alive has ever seen — yet most of the world still has no idea what is coming. With Middle East production slashed by 14 million barrels per day, the safety buffer is gone and inventories are about to hit all-time lows. THE UNPRECEDENTED SHORTAGE ➡️ Middle Eastern production is down a staggering 14 million barrels per day. ➡️ Already lost 650 million barrels of production — and that climbs to 1.5 billion even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens tomorrow. ➡️ The last ships that left before closure have now unloaded, leaving zero safety buffer. THE INVENTORY COLLAPSE ➡️ US diesel stocks fell 4% in a single week while gasoline dropped 3% outside driving season. ➡️ Global oil inventories are heading straight to all-time record lows by the end of May. ➡️ Complacency rules because the human mind simply cannot grasp something this enormous. THE INEVITABLE PRICE SPIKE ➡️ Demand must be rationed more severely than during COVID — and price is the only way to do it. ➡️ Expect oil well in excess of $150 per barrel in the coming days or weeks. ➡️ Physical markets are already trading at these brutal levels. THE POST-CRISIS OUTLOOK ➡️ Nuttall went 100% oil weighted back in January — his fund is already up 44%. ➡️ Once the Strait reopens he still sees an $80 floor with demand boosted 40% from restocking depleted inventories and SPRs. THE BOTTOM LINE Eric Nuttall has spent 25 years in this market and calls this the biggest disruption of his lifetime. The world is sleepwalking into a supply shock that will force prices higher faster than anyone expects. This is the calm before the storm hits hard. #EnergyCrisis #150Oil #OilShortage #StraitOfHormuz #RecordLowInventories #OilPrices #EnergyShock

Timber! Yesterday, in a little town called Burnsville, behind the most impressive high school vocational shop I’ve ever seen, I watched a man with a chainsaw attempt to drop a 200-foot oak tree into a very specific spot. He did not want the tree to fall toward him, obviously. Nor did he want it to fall back into the woods, or into the clearing to his left. Most especially, I assume, he did not want the tree to fall on his friend operating the Caterpillar machine with the grabby claw thing at the end of a long metal arm. He wanted the tree to fall exactly where it did - along the edge of the embankment, where he could go about the business of cutting it up into more manageable pieces, so that his friend in the Cat with the grabby claw thing at the end of a long metal arm could safely remove the remaining chunks. And so, he did. Seeing little tasks done well is always satisfying, even from a distance. So too, is seeing neighbors come together to rebuild their community when all hope seems lost, with skill and grit and unrelenting determination. That’s exactly what's been happening in this little town since last September, when Helene blew through North Carolina and took much of Burnsville with her. Later, I’ll introduce you to an industrial arts teacher who taught his students how to build new houses for people still living in tents. I think you’ll like him, a lot. And I think you'll be amazed by what his students have accomplished. In the meantime, it’s nice to see a tree fall exactly where it’s supposed to.

I found God on 300mg of DMT at DreamMind. . . At the core of a human being is a divine spark of light. Some call it their spirit or their soul. That divine spark of light drives our physical human bodies. Our physical bodies operate on the 3rd dimensional plane, but our souls operate on a higher plane. Breathe work, meditation, sound, etc. allow humans to disconnect from their physical bodies and operate on this “soul level” of reality. You know that feeling when you’re thinking of someone and they call you? That is your soul operating on a higher plane. You know the feeling when you’re day dreaming and visualize a different time in a different place? Or that feeling when you’re in a dream and you just know it’s real? It’s because it is real, in a different time and place, on a higher plane of reality where 3rd dimensional rules don’t apply. Psychedelics like DMT (ayahuasca), Psilocybin (mushrooms), mescaline (peyote), etc give us the ability to interact with these higher realms. You could say they “thin the veil” between levels of reality. Native people have been using meditation, breath, sound, and psychedelics for tens of thousands of years. Modern businessmen like Steve Jobs have credited meditation and psychedelics as one of the most impactful experiences of their lives. Why? Because it allows them to connect, or “tune in” with the spirit realm/higher dimension/whatever you want to call it. Think of it like a video game…once you tap in to this higher consciousness level, you gain access to knowledge, understanding, etc. It’s a level up so to speak. BUT… It’s not that easy. If you have negative things you have buried deep, they will be exposed if you want to ascend. You will be forced to be the most honest with yourself that you have ever been. Some aren’t ready for that in this modern society we live in. But others are ready. You will be forced to face the feeling of dying. For some it takes traumatic life experiences to understand that feeling. For others it could take eating mushrooms with your buddies in the backyard. Sounds scary, but there are some positives to experiencing the feeling of death. You realize that death of your physical body is just a transition of your soul from the 3rd dimensional plane of existence to a higher realm. Once you realize that your soul never dies, you lose that “fear of death” so to speak. Going into this 300mg extended state DMTx journey, I already knew what death felt like, and made peace with that before going in. I’ve learned there is knowledge found on the edge of death that only comes to those who have felt it. I’ve learned that speaking an intention can help unlock things you want to figure out as well. My intention going in was to bring back knowledge to help humanity “wake up” so to speak. Now that you have a baseline understanding, let me tell you what happened. This is how I would describe it. “I felt the weight of humanity resting on my heart, like it is my job to carry the torch for all of mankind. And that feeling was one of pure love, gratitude, and understanding of the gravity of what that meant. But I realized that feeling isn’t just in me, that feeling is inside all of us, waiting to be unlocked. That pure fire of all knowing belief that no matter what evil and darkness throws at us, NOTHING can extinguish the flame, it’s NOT possible. That understanding, if felt by all, could free a people from the chains of slavery they don’t even know exist. That flame is the divine spark of existence that is humanity. That divine spark is GOD.” You see…it took me traveling to the edge of death to understand that good ALWAYS defeats evil. The flame of life cannot be extinguished. It’s impossible. They call that faith. Your divine soul never dies. Once you realize it, you have a duty to tell others. All it takes is one person. One thought. One step. And the world is changed forever. That’s how easy love conquers fear. That’s how fast good defeats evil. Imagine an army of humans they are truly awake. Truly aware to the scam that we call this modern society. They would move mountains and part seas. They would see that we are just ONE STEP away. One step away from transcending the fear. One step from overcoming the negativity. One step from freedom. You have that power inside you, waiting to be unlocked. You are God expressing himself in human form. You have an eternal flame burning inside you. A divine spark that CANNOT be extinguished. The power to overcome any and all. That power is the divine spark of existence. That power is GOD. You are a super natural being… Wake up and start acting like it.

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis on "leaving AI in the lab for longer” (full question + answer in the video as I've seen him misquoted). Here's what he said: "For me, the best use case of AI was to improve human health and accelerate scientific discovery..." "Given how important AGI is and how transformative a technology is, maybe the most transformative one in human history, I thought it would be best to approach the sort of latter stages of building it, which we're in now, using the scientific method, very carefully, very precisely, very thoughtfully, and rigorously with all the best scientists, in my ideal world, collaborating on in CERN-like effort, on making sure each step we understood each step each as we got to the final goal of, of building AGI.... "While we're building AGI in this careful scientific way, humanity could benefit from the proceeds of that, like cures for cancer, or maybe new energy sources or new materials… “Looking at this from 20, 30 years ago when I started out on all of this, that would have been the ideal way for it to play out, in my opinion. “Now, it didn't happen like that because technology's unpredictable and in fact, it turns out that things like language were a lot easier than we were all expecting… “We were sort of playing around with that, so were the other leading labs, but of course with ChatGPT and fair play to OpenAI, they scaled it and then they put it out there. “And I think even they say it was kind of a research experiment. They didn't realize it would go so viral. And I think none of us did and we had sort of fairly equivalent systems at the time… “Now, the downside of it is, we're in this sort of ferocious commercial pressure race that everyone's sort of locked into currently. “And then on top of that, there's geopolitical issues like the US-China race and so on. So there's sort of multiple levels of pressure to sort of move fast. So the benefit of that, of course, you get faster progress, obviously. The progress is just at lightning speed these days. So that's good for all the good use cases. The second benefit is that everybody, all of the viewers out there, everyone, you're all getting to use the most cutting edge AI technology, perhaps only three to six months behind what is actually in the labs. So that's kind of mind blowing. “It's also great because I think it gives everyone a feeling for, it's democratizing AI. It's giving everyone a feeling for what it's like to interact with cutting edge AI and what it can do and what it can't do… “So I think there's positives and negatives about the way it's gone. It's not the way I dreamed about years ago where we would be sort of contemplating this philosophically and carefully considering each next step. We're not in that world. And I'm, although I'm a scientist first and foremost, I'm also a pragmatic engineer. So, we have to deal with the world as we find it and make the best of that. And we try to do that by advancing the frontier, but also trying to be as responsible as we can with doing that as we deploy these, you know, very powerful technologies, like Gemini and Alphafold.”
