How MiroFish helped me make $669/day on Polymarket One week ago I plugged a swarm intelligence engine into my Polymarket bot. It simulates 2,847 digital humans before every trade. The bot watches how they behave, then bets against the real crowd. 338 trades. $4,266 profit. One position returned 1,655% in five minutes. The engine is called MiroFish. It doesn't predict price. It predicts how people will react and on a prediction market, that's the only thing that matters. I feed it market context. It builds a parallel world. Thousands of AI agents argue, form groups, shift opinions. When their consensus diverges from what Polymarket is pricing, the bot enters. 5-minute windows. BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP. I've been running the bot live on What MiroFish actually is: > Built in 10 days by a 20-year-old undergraduate in Beijing using vibe coding > Hit #1 on GitHub's global trending above OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft > Backed by Chen Tianqiao, former richest man in China, who committed $4.1M within 24 hours of seeing one demo > Runs on OASIS by CAMEL-AI with GraphRAG knowledge graphs and Zep Cloud memory The edge is simple. Polymarket is a crowd behavior market. MiroFish is a crowd behavior simulator. Nobody is connecting the two yet.

🔵🚨‍ “AFTER GAME INTERVIEW 📹AND POST GAME PRESSER 📜🚨🔵 🎙Enzo Maresca's Full Post-Crystal Palace Press Conference: 🔹 Enzo Maresca: "Tough game, we expected a tough game. Apart from the first half free-kick, we didn't concede any chances but they are a very good team. We could have counter attacked better, we could have defended better but it is only the first game of the season." 🔹Enzo Maresca: "Some of them [the new signings] are ready, some of them need to adapt a little bit but overall very happy with all of them.” 🔹Enzo Maresca on signing a new centre-back: “You like to talk about central defenders? I already spoke. Thank you very much.” 🔹Enzo Maresca on Acheampong: "Very good, very good. We already showed some confidence with Josh last season. He dealt well with Mateta and overall he had a good game." 🔹Enzo Maresca: "We always try to win the game but unfortunately we didn't win. We deserved. We created enough chances. We didn't concede chances apart from the free-kick." 🔹Enzo Maresca on if pre-season preparations have an impact: "I don't think so. We competed until the end. We had chances at the end with Estevao and Andrey Santos. For us, last week we played two pre-season games but we tried to share minutes. The first real game was today." 🔹Enzo Maresca on if Mateta was lucky not to be sent off: "I was there, I was close. For sure it was a foul, the referee decided not to give a yellow." 🔹Enzo Maresca on Estevao: “He was very good. He showed personality - he has already shown that in training. He will be a very important player for this club.” 🔹Enzo Maresca on Tosin injury: "Physical problem - we don't know for how long. Wes was on the bench. Hopefully for the next one we can start to use Wes for some minutes." 📲 CFC_ChelseaFC via Telegram 🎥 Chelseafc_media via Telegram

After years of being absolutely tortured by expensive ad creative pipelines, I think I finally found the ultimate savior for brand growth. Most AI video tools are great at generating flashy but random clips. The real challenge starts when you need to produce high-converting ecommerce content at scale without burning your budget. I’ve been testing Wizstar_official, and it honestly feels less like a simple AI generator and more like serious production infrastructure for scaling digital businesses. What stood out to me is how their ecosystem completely automates the two biggest bottlenecks in growth marketing: Bulk Testing and Creative Adaptation. First, their Agent setup paired with Fast Mode is a cheat code for volume. Instead of spending days scripting and storyboarding, the system intelligently extracts your product selling points, writes algorithm-friendly influencer scripts, and batch-produces massive ad variations in one day. It’s ultra-low-cost, built for rapid listing, and keeps your brand logos and product textures 100% consistent and lossless across the board. Second, the Video Reference workflow is an absolute game-changer. Instead of rebuilding every ad from scratch or guessing what works, you can reference any existing successful e-commerce video. The AI reverse-engineers its exact pacing, structure, camera movement, and storytelling style, and applies that winning DNA to a completely different product. That completely changes the production workflow from: prompt → random output into something closer to: reference → structured production → scalable content system Under the hood, Wizstar doesn't just rely on one platform; it supports flexible multi-model orchestration. Driven by their newly integrated Seedance 2.0 engine, it allows direct face input, meaning your character consistency and scene continuity stay rock-solid with absolutely none of that creepy AI face warping across complex cuts. If you are running global campaigns, you can also utilize their Video Translation tool to flip master clips into 12 languages with flawless, natural lip sync in minutes. ✨ New users get free credits upon registration 💸 First month subscription is only $19 (includes a complimentary 30-second E-commerce Agent experience to test features like Product to Video) Stop letting slow pipelines bottleneck your global growth.

On this day 56 years ago, three men fell from the sky in a freezing, half-dead spacecraft and landed in the Pacific Ocean. They had been given almost no chance of coming home alive. Six days earlier, astronauts Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise launched on Apollo 13, heading for the Moon. Two days into the flight, 200,000 miles from Earth, an oxygen tank exploded and tore a hole in the side of their ship. Within minutes, they were losing oxygen, losing power, and losing heat. There was no plan for this. No one had trained for it. The Moon landing was abandoned. The only question now was whether three men could survive long enough to get home. Their main ship was dying, so they climbed into a smaller attached craft that was only designed to land on the Moon. It was built for two people for two days. They had to make it last four days for three. The temperature inside dropped to 3 degrees Celsius. Water droplets covered every surface. They rationed drinking water to six ounces per man per day, less than a single cup. Jim Lovell lost 14 pounds in four days. Then the air started going bad. The filters that clean carbon dioxide from the air were running out. Without new ones, the crew would suffocate. The spare filters from the main ship were the wrong shape. Square filters. Round slots. Engineers on the ground grabbed the same materials the astronauts had on board, plastic bags, cardboard, duct tape, and a sock, and built a makeshift adapter on a desk. Then they talked the crew through building an identical one while floating in zero gravity, 200,000 miles away. It worked. To get home, they had to swing around the far side of the Moon and fire their engine at the exact right second. Too steep and they would burn up entering Earth’s atmosphere. Too shallow and they would bounce off it and drift into space forever. The entire world stopped. Over 40 million people watched on television. The Pope led prayers from the Vatican. On April 17, 1970, the spacecraft hit the atmosphere. For four minutes, all radio contact went silent. The heat of re-entry surrounds a spacecraft in a layer of superheated gas that blocks all signals. Controllers on the ground called out. Nothing. The silence stretched past the expected time. One minute late. Still nothing. At one minute and 28 seconds past the deadline, a voice broke through. The parachutes opened. The capsule hit the water. All three men were alive. They never reached the Moon. But the mission became the greatest rescue in the history of space travel. It proved that the most dangerous moment in any journey is not the one you prepare for. It is the one nobody saw coming. Jim Lovell never flew in space again. He never walked on the Moon. Years later, when asked if he considered himself unlucky, he said: “I think of the crew of Apollo 1, who died in a fire before they ever left the ground. I think of the crews who never got to fly at all. No, I regard Apollo 13 as a triumph.”

🚨The HIMARS at the Foot of Fuji Was Not a Drill. It Was a Message. Three signals from three cities. One target. One 24-hour window. Beijing was always going to hear it. Just after 2 p.m. Tokyo time on Wednesday, a platoon of about fifty U.S. Marines from the 3rd Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment — Okinawa-based, ordinarily stationed within sight of the Taiwan Strait — rolled two HIMARS launchers onto the East Fuji Maneuver Area and fired two salvos. Six rockets. Pause. Six more. The launchers then did what they were built to do: pulled back from the firing line and disappeared. The Marines call this "shoot and scoot." In the age of cheap drones and counter-battery radar, it is no longer a clever tactic — it is the difference between a launcher that fights tomorrow and a launcher that is a smoking ruin within ninety seconds. The Pentagon framed the exercise in routine terms. Live-fire training. Readiness. Allied interoperability. "Reinforcing our commitment to regional security and the defense of Japan," the division spokesman wrote in his April briefing email. Many legacy media outlets reported it as a drill. Second consecutive year at this location. Nothing to see. That framing is technically correct and strategically blind. Because of what else happened on May 20. In Taipei, Lai Ching-te marked his second anniversary in office, halfway through his term, with a press conference reaffirming that Taiwan's future will not be decided by external forces and that arms procurement from the United States is essential to peace. In Washington, president Donald Trump walked onto the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews and told reporters he would speak with Lai personally — the first sitting U.S. president-to-sitting Taiwanese president call since the United States switched recognition to Beijing in 1979. And in Shizuoka Prefecture, on a maneuver area visible to local farmers and a 72-year-old former Japanese soldier watching from a hilltop in Gotemba, twelve American rockets arced into the foothills of Japan's most photographed mountain. Three events. Three cities. Same calendar day. You can call that coincidence if you want. The people who plan exercises eighteen months in advance, coordinate them with Japan's Ministry of Defense by formal email in April, and clear them with three different theater command headquarters do not believe in that kind of coincidence. Here is what the HIMARS at Fuji actually means in the wider picture. The system, as configured for Wednesday's drill, is short-range. But HIMARS is a platform, not a weapon. Swap the standard pod for the Precision Strike Missile and the same truck can put a warhead 500 kilometers downrange — from Yonaguni, from the Senkakus, from the Batanes islands the U.S. Army has been quietly deploying to since last year, that arc covers the Taiwan Strait and a meaningful portion of the southern Chinese coast. Beijing has spent two decades and several hundred billion dollars building an Anti-Access/Area Denial system designed around one assumption: that American power projection in the Western Pacific depends on a handful of large, fixed, exquisite platforms — carrier groups, Kadena, Guam. The DF-26 is called the "Guam Killer" for a reason. The entire bet is that if you can credibly threaten those platforms, the United States will not show up. A truck that fires twelve rockets and disappears into the tree line breaks that bet. There is no "Guam Killer" for a HIMARS battery that moves every forty minutes across an archipelago of forty-six inhabited islands the U.S. and Japan jointly operate. You cannot pre-target what you cannot find. This was the message Beijing received on Wednesday afternoon. Trump's announcement told them the political ceiling has been raised. Lai's anniversary speech told them Taipei is not negotiating its sovereignty. The rockets at Fuji told them the military floor has been raised too — and that the floor is mobile, distributed, and very difficult to break. The bell that has been ringing all week did not stop at the phone call. It rang again at 2 p.m. in the shadow of Mount Fuji. And the next time it rings, it may not be a training round. Original post by me Aric Chen. Views are my own — welcome to discuss!

MODI SARKAR'S BIG SURGICAL STRIKE ON CYBER CRIME🔥 Modi Govt frames new rule that makes it impossible to use WhatsApp or ANY messaging app without an 'Active Sim'! How does it help Bharat's Security- detail explanation👇 Modi Sarkar's DoT has issued the Telecommunication Cybersecurity Amendment Rules, 2025, on Nov 28, 2025, mandating that app-based communication services (classified as Telecommunication Identifier User Entities or TIUEs) like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Snapchat, ShareChat, JioChat, Arattai, and Josh must remain continuously linked to an active SIM card registered to the user's mobile number. This means: -Apps will stop functioning if linked SIM is removed, deactivated, or swapped without re-verification. -Web/desktop versions must auto-logout every 6 hours, requiring QR code re-authentication tied to the active SIM. -Platforms have 90 days to implement this, with compliance reports due within 120 days. HOW IT HURTS CYBER CRIMINALS: 1. Ends “Ghost Accounts” – Scammers buy/register a Bharatiya SIM once, then remove it and run WhatsApp/Telegram from Dubai/Cambodia. Now the app stops working the moment the SIM is taken out or deactivated. Most overseas scam call-centers instantly crippled. 2. Forces them to keep an active, traceable Bharatiya SIM every Second– That SIM leaves location, IMEI, call records, and KYC trail. Police can track & block in real time instead of chasing dead numbers. 3. Kills bulk fraud operations – Running 1,000 scam accounts now needs 1,000 active physical SIMs inside Bharat→ logistically impossible and insanely expensive. 4. Web/desktop versions log out every 6 hours – No more leaving accounts permanently logged in on cloud servers or bots for 24×7 fraud. Result: 90% of current “digital arrest”, sextortion, investment, and task scams become too risky or too costly to run at scale. HOW IT BOOSTS NATIONAL SECURITY: 1. Every active account on WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal is now tied to a KYC-verified Bharatiya SIM – Instant identity + location trail for any terror, espionage or disinformation account. 2. Foreign actors (ISI, PLA-linked groups) can’t activate once and operate SIM-free from abroad – They must keep a Bharatiya SIM active 24×7 → easily detectable and blockable. 3. Real-time shutdown possible – If intelligence flags a number for terr0r/recruitment, the linked messaging account dies immediately (no more powerful than just blocking the SIM). 4. Aligns OTT apps with the same security rules as phone calls/SMS – Closes the biggest loophole terr0ri$ts & foreign agencies were exploiting. Summary: Criminals and hostile agencies lose anonymity and mobility; Bharat gains a kill-switch on every dangerous account without touching end-to-end encryption. A real game-changer for Cyber Security. Well done Modi Sarkar 🫡

🚨 3i ATLAS: THE MYSTERY OBJECT HEADING TOWARDS EARTH 🌌 I just sat down with Canadian Freedom Train Ambassador Peter MacIsaac — and what he revealed about 3i Atlas, Swan, and Apophis will make you sit up straight. 🔴 3i Atlas is 46 km wide, travelling at 210,000 km/h — faster than any comet ever observed 🔴 Its light source is at the front, not the tail 🔴 It’s pulsing every 17 minutes, making micro-course corrections 🔴 Governments held closed-door meetings after James Webb Telescope data — with no public disclosure And that’s just the beginning. 📡 Another object, 2025 R2 Swan, is inbound — over 100x the size of 3i Atlas. The two will pass within cosmic “walking distance” of each other — a near-impossible probability. 💥 And looming beyond them is Apophis — the asteroid named after the Egyptian god of death — scheduled to pass closer than our satellites on Friday April 13th, 2029. Peter warned: “If Apophis passes through the gravitational keyhole, it’s a 100% impact event. The tidal waves could be 500 metres high. Civilization would never be the same.” 📢 WHAT THIS MEANS: Global governments may already be preparing for an impact scenario — but they won’t tell you until the last possible moment. If society collapses, you will be on your own. 🔥 This is why Freedom Train International is running a 4-hour preparedness special this weekend. We will give you the tools to survive — from food & water storage to communications, security, and precious metals. ⚠️ Do not wait for the government to save you. They won’t. Knowledge is your lifeline. Preparation is your shield. 🕒 Join us LIVE: 📍 Saturday, 7pm UK / 3pm Canada 🎥 On X-Spaces 🌐 💥 Don’t be scared. Be prepared. The clock is ticking. Kyledoops Private

🇯🇵Speech by LDP Presidential Candidate, Representative Sanae TakaichiHello everyone. I am Sanae Takaichi, a woman of Nara. But you know, in Nara there are sacred deer— and there are people who would dare to kick them, to strike them, to frighten them. Some come from abroad as tourists, and if they deliberately try to harm what the Japanese hold dear, don’t you think something has gone too far? We even see it on social media: foreign visitors hanging from a shrine’s torii gate as if it were a playground bar. What do they think a shrine is? These are places where things ancient, things long cherished, have been carefully preserved. If people come from abroad only to trample on that spirit, then something must be done. Of course, it is wonderful that tourists from all over the world visit Japan. And indeed, in many of our industries we lack workers, so we must rely on people from abroad to help fill that gap. That much is true. But even so— such matters must be advanced carefully, step by step. There are also systems where hiring foreigners brings undue advantages. Even the police, unable to secure interpreters in time, sometimes are forced to release suspects without indictment. Isn’t that strange? Isn’t that unfair? Fairness. Justice. When these are undermined, when our sense of right and wrong is constantly rubbed raw, resentment inevitably grows. Japanese people are patient, we hold our tongues, but frustration is mounting. Therefore, I say this clearly today: I will reconsider from the ground up how we can live together with foreigners in mutual respect and harmony. If we continue, year after year, to admit people whose cultures are vastly different, then this policy must be re-examined. Those who come purely for economic reasons while falsely claiming refugee status— they must be sent home. Those who overstay illegally— they must strictly obey our laws. For that, we need more front-line officers, such as immigration control agents. I pay them my deepest respect. Their treatment must be improved, their numbers increased. We must wash Japan clean once again, removing the stains and dirt that have accumulated. We must build a fair and just nation, so that the younger generation may say: “I’m glad I was born here.” I, Sanae Takaichi, will stand firmly, driven by resolve, to pursue this path. This commitment not to overlook injustice is also tied to a major shift away from solar panel policies. Is it not absurd to cover the Kushiro Wetlands with solar panels? Just as with the policies that make hiring foreigners more “profitable”— these are distortions born of misguided subsidies. Even systems originally designed for good have produced wrong signals, excessive incentives, and warped outcomes. Therefore, I, Sanae Takaichi, will thoroughly review the subsidy system, sweeping it clean, and focus only on what truly serves the nation. Before being a woman or a man, I am Japanese— and I am deeply, deeply concerned about the future of our nation. Ten years from now, if we do nothing today, will Japan be in an even worse state? The babies born today, the young people of eighteen— they may live into the twenty-second century. What will become of them? This thought worries me so much that I can hardly sleep at night. As a politician living in this present age, I believe two things matter most: First, to preserve the Imperial Line, passed down unbroken through the male line, by revising the Imperial House Law. Second, to correct the great defect in our Constitution— so that the Self-Defense Forces are clearly written into it, and no longer appear unconstitutional. If I become President of the Liberal Democratic Party, I will pour my passion into moving these debates forward. I am fortunate to be strong and healthy. My special skill is working through the night. Second and third place challenges are no problem at all. This year marks eighty years since the end of the war. I feel within me the prayers and wishes of every individual who has passed, worried for Japan’s future. I, Sanae Takaichi, am determined to lift Japan once again to a higher place— to create a strong economy, a strong nation, a safe society to pass on to the next generation. I humbly, earnestly ask for your powerful support. Thank you very much for your attention. #ImmigrationPolicy #ConstitutionalReform #ImperialLine #StrongEconomy #SafeSociety #SanaeTakaichi #VoiceOfNara #JapanFirst #FutureOfJapan #LeadershipForTomorrow

🇯🇵Speech by LDP Presidential Candidate, Representative Sanae TakaichiHello everyone. I am Sanae Takaichi, a woman of Nara. But you know, in Nara there are sacred deer— and there are people who would dare to kick them, to strike them, to frighten them. Some come from abroad as tourists, and if they deliberately try to harm what the Japanese hold dear, don’t you think something has gone too far? We even see it on social media: foreign visitors hanging from a shrine’s torii gate as if it were a playground bar. What do they think a shrine is?

Howard Marks manages ~$190 billion and has penned some of the world's best investment writing. Warren Buffett loves his writing too: "When I see memos from Howard in my mail, they're the first thing I open." Here’s our conversation—with its top 13 insights: 1) For Howard Marks, heaven is seven little words: “I never thought of it that way.” Get the reader to say them and you win. 2) Einstein supposedly said there are four levels of intelligence: bright, brilliant, genius, and simple. Insecure writers try to flaunt their expertise with jargon; secure writers share what they know in surprising yet simple ways. 3) Something about putting words to paper freezes people up. Hence, Howard Marks tries to write as he speaks. Lesson: Take your written voice closer to your conversational voice. You’ll discover a new freshness and speed in your work. 4) Most writing rings hollow. No stories or thought-out principles inside. Howard Marks’ challenge to writers: Have experiences, cultivate convictions, and then your writing will come alive like never before. Thoreau said it best: “How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.” 5) Find your creed. What do you believe in? What do you think will work? What will not work? What are the rules that govern your decisions? People listen intently when you speak from a "principled voice." 6) Be eclectic in your subject matter and sources. Tackle the same point from different angles to create a richer reading experience. For example, in his memos, Howard Marks has explained investing via the prism of gambling, poker, sports, and more. 7) Howard Marks’ knack for analogies has made him one of Warren Buffett’s favorite writers. Takeaway: Come up with more surprising comparisons. Make cross-disciplinary connections. 8) What Howard admires in Buffett’s writing: its accessibility, folksy simplicity, and humor. A great example is Buffett’s description of the 2008 financial crash: “It's only when the tide goes out that we find out who's been swimming naked.” 9) Writing is anti-BS because the reader can keep re-reading until the hole in your logic becomes clear. You will get away with some BS in conversation, but if you want to discover and fix the holes in your ideas, write them down. 10) The old sayings don't get to be old sayings for nothing. A heuristic, story or book that has been around for long probably has something valuable to teach you. 11) The more complex the idea, the simpler your explanation must be. Nietzsche agrees with Howard Marks: “The more abstract the truth you wish to teach, the more you need to seduce the senses to it.” 12) The world is governed by cyclical forces. Even if history doesn't always repeat, it rhymes. This is why old books will teach you as much about the future as the past. 13) Writing prompt: Reconcile two things that seem to be at odds or show the hidden fault lines between two things that seem to be compatible. The reader will feel rewarded. She might even say the seven magical words: “I never thought of it that way.” I've shared the full conversation below. If you'd rather listen on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple, check out the replies below.

WATCH: CNN’s Jake Tapper defends ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel calling Melania Trump “an expected widow” and blasts criticism of the press as dangerous in light of Saturday’s #WHCD shooting as “clamp[ing] down on criticism and free speech”... “Let us discuss now two important aspects of what has happened in the United States since the horrific attempted assassination on President Trump and members of the trump administration. And let me be clear at the very outset that the violence is horrific and should be condemned by everyone. I'll get into the responsibility that we all have to help bring down the temperature in a second. But first, let me touch on the news today and what was perhaps inevitable that the Trump administration would try to use Saturday's horrific act of violence to try to clamp down on criticism and free speech. Today, the President and the first lady, Melania Trump, citing a joke that comedian Jimmy Kimmel made last Thursday on his show, tried to connect that joke with the assassination attempt. Now, there is zero evidence — zero evidence that the would be alleged assassin heard the joke. In fact, authorities say the suspect left California for Washington, D.C., by train on Tuesday, so his trip to D.C. started long before Jimmy Kimmel told this joke on Thursday night. Airing this pretend correspondents dinner skit. “Earlier today, the First Lady tweeted: ‘Kimmel’s...monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America...It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.’ This in response to a joke she did not like. This afternoon, President Trump followed with a Truth social post that said, ‘this is something far beyond the pale. Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC.’ There was more, but let us just take this moment and say, is it fair to judge Jimmy Kimmel's joke in light of what happened at the dinner two nights later? White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Saturday, shortly before the shooting, that President Trump's speech would be funny and there would be ‘shots fired,’ which of course would not taken literally refers to humorous insults. Does anyone out there think that Karoline Leavitt had any idea what would happen? I don't. Does anyone out there think that Jimmy Kimmel had any idea what happened? What would happen? I don't know, do I think both, in retrospect, would choose their words differently in retrospect, given what happened on Saturday night? Of course.” “But this crusade against Kimmel was predictable because the Trump administration's attempt to use Saturday's shooting as justification to stop all critical coverage, whether journalistic or comedic, of Donald Trump. That started even before the ballroom emptied. Because Kari Lake, the election denier who's currently in charge of voice of America, she approached a CNN table after the shooting and blamed journalists for the attempted attack and personally insulted one of our correspondents as a ‘midget.’ She then went outside and trailed me for about a block I was trying to ignore her. She was saying that I was responsible for what happened. CNN's responsible for what happened, and that unhinged rant by someone who, frankly, obviously needs help, is now being matched with social media posts and more from the White House trying to use this horrific tragedy to demonize any criticism as calls for violence. And the president has been making literal calls for violence since 2015. I'm not even going to go into them. You're familiar with them, but literal calls for violence. Now, a reminder that the President's tone immediately after the attack on Saturday was praised by Democrats and Republicans, and it was far more conciliatory.” “That sentiment clearly did not last long. And let us turn now to this deranged alleged would be assassin whose writings clearly seem to be from someone on the left. And there is a problem with violence on the left in the United States. And there is a problem with violence on the right in the United States and to — to debate which one is worse is honestly to avoid the problem. It's all awful. It all needs to stop now. Now, there was a time when people who tried to justify violence against anyone were considered fringe lunatics. Today, a lot of them are called influencers. Social media companies have figured out how to commodify the hate that they push. It's pushed by these twisted algorithms too. And politicians and pundits are increasingly lending their credibility to these influencers. And those politicians and pundits are playing a role in this, too. It is a big problem of calls for violence and dehumanization, and it's getting worse. But it is not a problem to be wielded like a cudgel to try to stop journalism or jokes. Journalism and jokes are not calls for violence, calls for violence are calls for violence, and far too many Americans in positions of power and influence are too blasé and too glib about those who make them.”

There was a massive John O'Keefe and Karen Read re-trial bombshell that went under the surface last week. Not only were 17 Ring videos deleted from John's system between 12:37am and 5:08am on 1/29/22, another video of Karen and her family collecting the murder weapon after 12pm ET that day was also deleted. This means someone (probably Karen) accessed John's Ring system --access that John's niece and nephew have testified Karen possessed-- sometime in the afternoon of 1/29/22 (before search warrants were served on Karen's phone and her car, after 4pm that day, when the vehicle was located by State Police at the home of Karen's parents in Dighton). Indeed, Karen would only need knowledge of John's Ring login information --something Karen had, as evidenced by the document below-- in order to access the system remotely from any device. The fact that there was a video deleted after 12pm on 1/29/22, and that the video in question directly captured Karen and her family leaving John's home with the murder weapon, indicates at least some of the deletions in questions did not occur until Karen was released from the hospital. Karen's access to John's rings system, and the timeline of the deleted videos, thus raises the potential that Karen also deleted 17 of the 18 Ring videos from earlier that morning --between 12:37am and 5:08am, as mentioned-- while at her parents house in Dighton. In turn, this would mean Karen left specific Ring videos on the system, including a staged "bump" into John's car at at 5:08am, in anticipation of being criminally charged. Read a prior public court motion regarding Karen's access to John's ring system here - If these deletions are confirmed, Karen's prior statement during a news interview becomes an ominous double entendre. "I mean, what kind of criminal mastermind am I? Not a very good one," said Read with a smirk to the camera. Perhaps in a prescient manner, when that clip first aired in March of 2025, this is what I reported (at the time, I did not fully realize the implications of Karen also deleting another damning Ring video from after 12pm on 1/29/22); "Karen Read, as I predicted many months ago, left a single Ring video on John O'Keefe's system , from roughly 5:08am, wherein Karen may have staged a fake "bump" into John O'Keefe's car to, in real time, plant reasonable double as to the cause of Read's broken taillight." "I am actually stunned that, in that moment, Karen managed to make sure the other 17 Ring videos on John's system were deleted (from between 12:37am and 5:08am), and managed to stage a fake "bump" into John's car, as a preemptive form of artificial reasonable doubt." "Karen didn't pull it off, but her mind was certainly in overdrive that morning before Read hatched her plan to, in my view, return to Fairview Road (circa 5:23am), confirm John was indeed dead, as a result of Karen hitting John with her car at 12:31am that morning, while drunk, and then leaving John on the lawn in a blizzard." "Then, Read, after 5:35am, went to pick up Jen McCabe and Kerri Roberts, returned to John's house with the two women, told them to stop searching in John's house because "John wasn't there," left the alleged murder weapon in John's driveway, and returned to Fairview Road after 6am (in Kerri's car), whereupon Karen somehow "saw" John's body in the snow, through a blizzard, and before the three women passed the tree line of the lawn of the home where John met his lonesome and untimely end earlier that morning (as a result of what, I believe, was a fight between John and Karen, as to the breakdown of their relationship, spiraling when Karen felt she was losing control of the situation)." See that clip of Karen's "criminal mastermind" statement, and read my shockingly accurate prediction, here - Also of note, in towel's exclusive Karen Cam footage from May 8th, 2025 --when jurors in Read's re-trial were show evidence of Karen's father and brother collecting Read's Lexus from John's home in Canton after 12pm ET on 1/29/22-- prior observations by social media users --related to Bill Read leaving the courtroom within seconds of those clips being shown to jurors-- were confirmed. Read the initial reporting of Mr. Read leaving the courtroom in very seconds after clips were played here - Bill Read --already under observation by a court officer due to reports Mr. Read was staring at jurors as state witnesses were testifying over recent days-- noticeably left the front bench behind his daughter for nearly 40 minutes in the immediate aftermath of the deleted Ring videos (in particular from after 12pm that day involving Mr. Read, Karen's brother, and Karen's sister-in-law - all three of whom are on the state's witness list for the re-trial, but have yet to be called). This was the first time, throughout any proceeding, that Mr. Read left the courtroom benches during trial for an extended period of time. Interestingly, Hank Brennan announced last week in a court motion that the keeper of records for Ring will be testifying in Karen's re-trial --something that did not happen in the first trial-- which, further, suggests that Ring may have a log of when John's account was accessed, where it was accessed from and, most importantly, what videos were deleted from that account (along with when those videos were deleted). Read that motion related to Ring's upcoming testimony, between May 12 and May 16 of 2025, here - If it is indeed confirmed that Karen, or her family member, accessed John's Ring system to remove 17 of the 18 videos recorded between 12:37am and 5:08am on 1/29/22, along with another video after 12pm showing Karen's family collecting the vehicle, with a broken taillight, before taking it back to Dighton-- that is devastating evidence to Karen's defense. It has already been revealed in court papers, in that regard, that Karen was on her laptop at her parent's house around 4pm on 1/29/22 --when Karen's phone and car were collected as evidence by the police-- and, in turn, that may be the smoking gun as to Karen's consciousness of guilt if Ring records indicate videos from John's system were deleted from a remote location (in particular Dighton, Massachusetts) circa 2-4pm or so on that afternoon. Those deleted videos are no doubt very damaging to Karen, and would certainly show her taillight broken when Karen returned to John's home at 12:37am that morning --as confirmed by Karen connecting to John's home wifi at that time-- as well as that taillight being broken when Karen, her father, her brother and her sister-in-law came to collect the alleged murder weapon after 12pm ET on 1/29/22. See testimony from Karen's first trial wherein Karen admitted to one of John's friends --whom Karen tried to bait into an affair by manipulating that friend about John hugging someone on a vacation prior to John's death, until John's friend cut off the affair when he realized Karen was only trying to hurt John-- that Karen "knew where the Ring cameras were" in John's home in the weeks leading up to John's last moments alive, here - Karen, of course, was taken to the hospital (at the request of her own parents) for threatening self harm after confessing to hitting John O'Keefe, while drunk and with a BAC of 0.14-0.28 (2-4 times the legal limit) at exactly 12:32:16am ET on 1/29/22. Firefighter Katie McLaughlin, a key witness in the John O'Keefe and Karen Read re-trial, testified that she was the person who asked Karen if John had experienced any trauma in the early morning of 1/29/22, to which Karen replied, "I hit him! I hit him! I hit him!" At that point, multiple witnesses to the statement (including other first responders) realized Karen was confessing to hitting John O'Keefe with her car, while drunk with a BAC between 0.14 and 0.28, and then the Canton Police called in their supervisor. See that earthshattering testimony from Firefighter McLaughlin here - Jurors have already seen shocking videos, from Karen's own media interviews, wherein Read admits that she should not have been drunk driving in the moments before she John drove from a bar to an after party a local home. The clips, in turn, not only showed Karen admitting to her state of intoxication while driving but, at the same time, they also showed Karen ADMITTING to having up to nine drinks over just three or so hours on the evening of 1/28/22 and the early morning of 1/29/22. Indeed, see that admission by Read, as to her state of intoxication while driving in the moment's before John was allegedly struck, here - "I had been out late, I had been drinking, John was in the last general vicinity of where I saw him...within 50 feet...he's in the front yard so I'm thinking "Jesus, was I starting to pull away and did I run over his foot."

There was a massive John O'Keefe and Karen Read re-trial bombshell that went under the surface last week. Not only were 17 Ring videos deleted from John's system between 12:37am and 5:08am on 1/29/22, another video of Karen and her family collecting the murder weapon after 12pm ET that day was also deleted. This means someone (probably Karen) accessed John's Ring system --access that John's niece and nephew have testified Karen possessed-- sometime in the afternoon of 1/29/22 (before search warrants were served on Karen's phone and her car, after 4pm that day, when the vehicle was located by State Police at the home of Karen's parents in Dighton). Indeed, Karen would only need knowledge of John's Ring login information --something Karen had, as evidenced by the document below-- in order to access the system remotely from any device. The fact that there was a video deleted after 12pm on 1/29/22, and that the video in question directly captured Karen and her family leaving John's home with the murder weapon, indicates at least some of the deletions in questions did not occur until Karen was released from the hospital. Karen's access to John's rings system, and the timeline of the deleted videos, thus raises the potential that Karen also deleted 17 of the 18 Ring videos from earlier that morning --between 12:37am and 5:08am, as mentioned-- while at her parents house in Dighton. In turn, this would mean Karen left specific Ring videos on the system, including a staged "bump" into John's car at at 5:08am, in anticipation of being criminally charged. Read a prior public court motion regarding Karen's access to John's ring system here - If these deletions are confirmed, Karen's prior statement during a news interview becomes an ominous double entendre. "I mean, what kind of criminal mastermind am I? Not a very good one," said Read with a smirk to the camera. Perhaps in a prescient manner, when that clip first aired in March of 2025, this is what I reported (at the time, I did not fully realize the implications of Karen also deleting another damning Ring video from after 12pm on 1/29/22); "Karen Read, as I predicted many months ago, left a single Ring video on John O'Keefe's system , from roughly 5:08am, wherein Karen may have staged a fake "bump" into John O'Keefe's car to, in real time, plant reasonable double as to the cause of Read's broken taillight." "I am actually stunned that, in that moment, Karen managed to make sure the other 17 Ring videos on John's system were deleted (from between 12:37am and 5:08am), and managed to stage a fake "bump" into John's car, as a preemptive form of artificial reasonable doubt." "Karen didn't pull it off, but her mind was certainly in overdrive that morning before Read hatched her plan to, in my view, return to Fairview Road (circa 5:23am), confirm John was indeed dead, as a result of Karen hitting John with her car at 12:31am that morning, while drunk, and then leaving John on the lawn in a blizzard." "Then, Read, after 5:35am, went to pick up Jen McCabe and Kerri Roberts, returned to John's house with the two women, told them to stop searching in John's house because "John wasn't there," left the alleged murder weapon in John's driveway, and returned to Fairview Road after 6am (in Kerri's car), whereupon Karen somehow "saw" John's body in the snow, through a blizzard, and before the three women passed the tree line of the lawn of the home where John met his lonesome and untimely end earlier that morning (as a result of what, I believe, was a fight between John and Karen, as to the breakdown of their relationship, spiraling when Karen felt she was losing control of the situation)."

🦌 &team, right. i met up with k hyung from &team. let me tell you the story. i just parted ways with him. so, i met up with k hyung. he had told me before, "if you come to japan, hit me up. let’s grab a meal." but honestly, everyone says things like that, and actually following through to the point where you sit down and eat together isn’t that easy. you get what i mean, right? it’s kind of like when someone asks, "hey, are you going through a tough time these days?" a lot of the time, they’re not genuinely offering to sit down and listen or comfort me. most of the time, it just means they’re curious about how i’ve been and want to catch up on my life. but when i actually reached out to k hyung, he immediately said he was free today, so we went out for a meal and then stopped by a café. and honestly, it was so much fun. even though it was our first time eating together, i felt more comfortable than i do with some of my hometown friends. since he speaks korean well, it made things even easier. and as for me, i’ve learned just enough japanese to at least try and make k hyung laugh. i tried being a little playful, and luckily, k hyung laughed at my jokes. that was a relief, i would’ve been embarrassed otherwise. i laughed a lot, and k hyung did too. we ate, and since k hyung likes walking, we walked around a bit too. he started this career way earlier than i did, so he gave me some advice. but honestly… i don’t even remember what we talked about. it’s like when you meet up with an old friend and later think, "wait, what did we even talk about?" and you can’t remember anything. i was so happy. when i go to apgujeong with hanbin hyung or gunwook, i tend to say, "since we’re in apgujeong, i’ll pay." but when we go often, we just take turns paying. so when i went to apgujeong with gunwook to eat kalguksu, i was like, "i’ll pay this time, but when we go to osan, you cover it." we joke around like that. but k hyung did the same thing. seriously… k hyung was really just like me… it felt like if we met a second time, one of us might disappear, like what happens to doppelgänger or something, just way too similar. we kept talking, then went to a café and talked some more. he said he had never seen someone eat two ice creams before their meal. i had ordered them 10 minutes before k hyung arrived. i saw that the barbecue place had ice cream, so i was like, "oh? they have ice cream? well, then i gotta try it!" and i ordered two. apparently, that was a first for him. i guess it’s not something people usually do. even after the meal, i had more, and then we went to a café. k hyung was once again like, "since we’re in japan, i’ll pay." he took a regular taxi for himself, but for me, he was like, "oh, gyuvin, you’re a superstar!" and called a van. i was like, "hyung, this isn’t right. you should take this one." but he kept insisting, "just get in, get in, get in!" so yeah, we had fun and then i came back. and as soon as i got back, i turned the live. that was my day. also, i have a lot of friends now. there's younghoon hyung, jungha hyung, and of course, k hyung, hanbin hyung… of course, my members are a given. i guess i’m kind of a “insider” now, huh?

🚨BREAKING: NASA's Lead Electrostatics Scientist claims he’s discovered a “new force” that counteracts gravity with no fuel necessary. Dr. Charles Buhler has run 2,000 vacuum chamber experiments showing a propellantless thrust force that persists after the power is switched off, and cannot be explained by ion wind, magnetic effects, or classical energy conservation. The input is pure electricity and the output is millinewtons of thrust counteracting gravity. He believes his work vindicates the legacy of midcentury antigravity pioneer Thomas Townsend Brown and will lead to a new paradigm of propellantless deep space travel that transcends chemical combustion rockets🚨 Charles Buhler has a PhD in condensed matter physics from Florida State University, spent over two decades at NASA's Electrostatics and Surface Physics Laboratory at Kennedy Space Center (which he now leads), and is the incoming president of the Electrostatic Society of America. He is NASA’s authority on electrostatics. His colleague Andrew Aurigema, a 35-year veteran engineer working from the Townsend Brown electrogravitics lineage, developed a parallel version of the same experiment independently, and the two discovered each other through a mutual colleague who had been watching both of them work in silence for years. Together, under their company Exodus Propulsion Technologies, they have tested nearly 2,000 variations of what they believe is a previously undocumented force. He’s also developed a quantum electrodynamics based theory to explain his results. Buhler’s patent is now under formal examination by the U.S. Patent Office with affidavit-signing witnesses being contacted independently. This is the future of space travel, beyond chemical combustion. With Rocketry, we can only get to Proxima Centauri B in 80,000 years. And you’d burn through the fuel well before that. It’s completely untenable for interstellar travel. 1. Buhler’s Skeptic Mentor Stopped Cold in 2010 The first demonstration happened in a non-vacuum lab using a laser aimed at a wall to detect small displacements. Buhler had his future brother-in-law run the test. His mentor, Dr. Sid Clements, an electrostatics expert who had dismissed the work entirely, watched the laser move and immediately abandoned what he was doing. He walked over, ran through a series of verification steps on the spot, and never questioned the reality of the effect again. That was 2010. It took two more years working with Drew before Buhler realized the force appeared even without any B field or current present. He wasn't in the field momentum regime at all. He was in pure electrostatics. 2. The Force is Not Explainable by Newton’s Laws or Ion Wind Ion wind produces thrust in the same direction the ionized air is traveling. The “Exodus force” (Buhler’s name for his new force) produces thrust perpendicular to the expected ion wind direction, reverses cleanly when the device is flipped, and remains present inside a sealed enclosure where no ionized air can escape. Buhler documented this publicly with video: a balsa lifter placed inside a sealed plastic box on a scale, powered up, lifts internally while the scale reads flat. That is conservation of momentum. That is what ion wind looks like. The Exodus force is something different, and Buhler, as the person who leads NASA's only electrostatics lab, is in an unambiguous position to make that distinction. 3. 2,000 Variations, All Producing the Same Result Since beginning collaboration with Drew, Buhler has tracked nearly 2,000 distinct test articles, each tested multiple times. Pendulums. Spinners. Rotators. Force plates. Scales. Pendulum deflections inside Faraday cages. Reversed polarity tests. Vacuum chamber runs at multiple pressure levels. DC-only configurations that eliminate magnetic field artifacts entirely. Every geometry, every material, every packaging approach. The force appears consistently. When a confounding variable is proposed, they address it, run the modified test, and the force is still there. Buhler says if an exotic explanation remains, it is not one he or any colleague has been able to name. 4. The Device Generates Thrust With the Power Off This is the finding that breaks the classical framework entirely. After charging the device and disconnecting it from the power supply, the thrust continues. The capacitor does not drain in the way a simple energy storage calculation would predict. Put on a scale, the weight reduction persists. Buhler's description: if placed in space with the power off, the device would accelerate. He cannot explain that to the scientific community and says so directly. David Chester, who has independently interacted with Drew through APEC sessions and private communications, said he cannot think of a prosaic explanation for this. The phenomenon has been reproduced enough times across enough configurations that calling it experimental error is no longer a defensible position. 5. The Implications of This for Past Antigravity Work Buhler believes his work is derivative of and related to Townsend Brown’s midcentury asymmetric capacitor experiments also showing thrust with pure electricity as the input. Chemical combustion is limited - plain and simple - we can’t get to the nearest habitable planet (Proxima Centauri B) in close the amount of time we’d need; it would take us 80,000 years and we’d burn through the fuel before we got there. It’s a checkmate in one argument against anyone claiming rockets are the frontier of efficiency. This was the dream of Thomas Townsend Brown – one that got stifled and suppressed behind the veil of secrecy and subcompartments. The common trope from experiments around the world are high electric field differentials seem to result in thrust. Buhler’s experiment exists in this lineage. 6. The Patent Office is Running the Peer Review Buhler made a deliberate choice not to pursue academic peer review as a primary path. His second patent is currently under examination, and the examiner's office has been reaching out to independent witnesses who have signed affidavits confirming they have seen and reproduced the effect. Buhler describes this as equivalent to scientific peer review, run by people with no financial interest in the outcome. His first patent may have been held under a national security review process before release. He does not confirm this, but he was aware it was a risk when he filed. 7. A QED Theorist Could Poke Holes in the Theory, But Not the Experiment We brought in UCLA PhD David Chester to evaluate Buhler’s ideas on quantum electrodynamics (which might account for the thrust being seen). David Chester's contribution was not to validate the theory Buhler proposed. He found some issues with the specific scalar virtual photon framing Buhler had developed. What Chester could not do was provide a prosaic explanation for the experimental results themselves. He said directly that, of all the anomalous phenomena he has surveyed, Buhler and Drew's work ranks in the top ten for experimental persuasiveness, specifically because of the iteration rate and the self-consistency across configurations. He noted that Drew's innovation rate alone, constantly testing new geometries and material stacks, is unlike anything he has seen from other groups making similar claims. Buhler pointed out that his theories were based on time-independent perturbation theory which Chester admits requires further examination from him. 8. NASA's UAP Investigation Had No Physicists Buhler and his wife, an engineer in NASA's Launch Services Program, were approached to assist with NASA's second UAP follow-on investigation. When Buhler asked to be placed with the physicists on the project, he was told there were none. The group was instrumentation-focused. Buhler says he was genuinely shocked. His reaction, expressed directly: if you are facing objects that defy the laws of physics, why is there not a single physicist in the room. He described the same reaction Eric Davis has expressed publicly. This is either institutional brain death or something else is happening somewhere else. 9. Six Lights Emerged from the Ocean Near Patrick Air Force Base Around 2013, Buhler and his wife were alone on the beach near Cocoa Beach, Florida, three miles south of Patrick Air Force Base. A red light appeared roughly three miles offshore, grew extremely bright, then appeared to explode, lighting the full length of beach. A helicopter launched from Patrick Air Force Base, flew to the location, hovered briefly, and returned to base without intervening. The light did not stop. It began moving toward them. At some point it split from one light into six rotating orange-pink lights that went under the water and re-emerged in a repeating cycle. The lights tracked their movement along the beach for forty minutes, closing to within roughly fifty yards before disappearing. Buhler says similar lights have been reported by others in the same area, and Stephen Greer runs group observation sessions approximately forty minutes south of the same beach. 10. The Force Crosses the Unity Threshold for Space Already The current demonstrated force is in the five to ten millinewton range. For Earth launch, that is not yet sufficient, and Buhler does not claim otherwise. For orbital station-keeping, for preventing satellite orbital decay, for repositioning between orbits in microgravity, the force exceeds what is needed. Buhler calls this hitting unity for space, moon, and Mars applications without any major development beyond what has already been demonstrated. The self-launcher, a device capable of lifting itself from Earth's surface, is the declared goal. No blueprints exist yet for the energy requirements. But the force is real, it is directional, it reverses on command, and it does not require continuous power to sustain. Why This Matters NASA's lead electrostatics scientist ran nearly 2,000 controlled experiments, eliminated every prosaic explanation the field has available, documented a thrust that persists after the power is cut, watched the fine structure constant emerge from the data repeatedly, and submitted a second patent currently under formal examination. A QED theorist with no commercial stake in the outcome reviewed the experimental claims and could not find a conventional explanation. The standard debunking line for this entire lineage of experiments has always been ion wind. That argument has been answered, documented, and filmed. What remains is a force that requires either new physics or an error that two decades of systematic testing has not been able to locate. The patent process will resolve part of this. The vacuum chamber footage will resolve more of it. Full conversation is live now. The next stage in human space travel is here.

🚨BREAKING: NASA's Lead Electrostatics Scientist claims he’s discovered a “new force” that counteracts gravity with no fuel necessary. Dr. Charles Buhler has run 2,000 vacuum chamber experiments showing a propellantless thrust force that persists after the power is switched off, and cannot be explained by ion wind, magnetic effects, or classical energy conservation. The input is pure electricity and the output is millinewtons of thrust counteracting gravity. He believes his work vindicates the legacy of midcentury antigravity pioneer Thomas Townsend Brown and will lead to a new paradigm of propellantless deep space travel that transcends chemical combustion rockets🚨 Charles Buhler has a PhD in condensed matter physics from Florida State University, spent over two decades at NASA's Electrostatics and Surface Physics Laboratory at Kennedy Space Center (which he now leads), and is the incoming president of the Electrostatic Society of America. He is NASA’s authority on electrostatics. His colleague Andrew Aurigema, a 35-year veteran engineer working from the Townsend Brown electrogravitics lineage, developed a parallel version of the same experiment independently, and the two discovered each other through a mutual colleague who had been watching both of them work in silence for years. Together, under their company Exodus Propulsion Technologies, they have tested nearly 2,000 variations of what they believe is a previously undocumented force. He’s also developed a quantum electrodynamics based theory to explain his results. Buhler’s patent is now under formal examination by the U.S. Patent Office with affidavit-signing witnesses being contacted independently. This is the future of space travel, beyond chemical combustion. With Rocketry, we can only get to Proxima Centauri B in 80,000 years. And you’d burn through the fuel well before that. It’s completely untenable for interstellar travel. 1. Buhler’s Skeptic Mentor Stopped Cold in 2010 The first demonstration happened in a non-vacuum lab using a laser aimed at a wall to detect small displacements. Buhler had his future brother-in-law run the test. His mentor, Dr. Sid Clements, an electrostatics expert who had dismissed the work entirely, watched the laser move and immediately abandoned what he was doing. He walked over, ran through a series of verification steps on the spot, and never questioned the reality of the effect again. That was 2010. It took two more years working with Drew before Buhler realized the force appeared even without any B field or current present. He wasn't in the field momentum regime at all. He was in pure electrostatics. 2. The Force is Not Explainable by Newton’s Laws or Ion Wind Ion wind produces thrust in the same direction the ionized air is traveling. The “Exodus force” (Buhler’s name for his new force) produces thrust perpendicular to the expected ion wind direction, reverses cleanly when the device is flipped, and remains present inside a sealed enclosure where no ionized air can escape. Buhler documented this publicly with video: a balsa lifter placed inside a sealed plastic box on a scale, powered up, lifts internally while the scale reads flat. That is conservation of momentum. That is what ion wind looks like. The Exodus force is something different, and Buhler, as the person who leads NASA's only electrostatics lab, is in an unambiguous position to make that distinction. 3. 2,000 Variations, All Producing the Same Result Since beginning collaboration with Drew, Buhler has tracked nearly 2,000 distinct test articles, each tested multiple times. Pendulums. Spinners. Rotators. Force plates. Scales. Pendulum deflections inside Faraday cages. Reversed polarity tests. Vacuum chamber runs at multiple pressure levels. DC-only configurations that eliminate magnetic field artifacts entirely. Every geometry, every material, every packaging approach. The force appears consistently. When a confounding variable is proposed, they address it, run the modified test, and the force is still there. Buhler says if an exotic explanation remains, it is not one he or any colleague has been able to name. 4. The Device Generates Thrust With the Power Off This is the finding that breaks the classical framework entirely. After charging the device and disconnecting it from the power supply, the thrust continues. The capacitor does not drain in the way a simple energy storage calculation would predict. Put on a scale, the weight reduction persists. Buhler's description: if placed in space with the power off, the device would accelerate. He cannot explain that to the scientific community and says so directly. David Chester, who has independently interacted with Drew through APEC sessions and private communications, said he cannot think of a prosaic explanation for this. The phenomenon has been reproduced enough times across enough configurations that calling it experimental error is no longer a defensible position. 5. The Implications of This for Past Antigravity Work Buhler believes his work is derivative of and related to Townsend Brown’s midcentury asymmetric capacitor experiments also showing thrust with pure electricity as the input. Chemical combustion is limited - plain and simple - we can’t get to the nearest habitable planet (Proxima Centauri B) in close the amount of time we’d need; it would take us 80,000 years and we’d burn through the fuel before we got there. It’s a checkmate in one argument against anyone claiming rockets are the frontier of efficiency. This was the dream of Thomas Townsend Brown – one that got stifled and suppressed behind the veil of secrecy and subcompartments. The common trope from experiments around the world are high electric field differentials seem to result in thrust. Buhler’s experiment exists in this lineage. 6. The Patent Office is Running the Peer Review Buhler made a deliberate choice not to pursue academic peer review as a primary path. His second patent is currently under examination, and the examiner's office has been reaching out to independent witnesses who have signed affidavits confirming they have seen and reproduced the effect. Buhler describes this as equivalent to scientific peer review, run by people with no financial interest in the outcome. His first patent may have been held under a national security review process before release. He does not confirm this, but he was aware it was a risk when he filed. 7. A QED Theorist Could Poke Holes in the Theory, But Not the Experiment We brought in UCLA PhD David Chester to evaluate Buhler’s ideas on quantum electrodynamics (which might account for the thrust being seen). David Chester's contribution was not to validate the theory Buhler proposed. He found some issues with the specific scalar virtual photon framing Buhler had developed. What Chester could not do was provide a prosaic explanation for the experimental results themselves. He said directly that, of all the anomalous phenomena he has surveyed, Buhler and Drew's work ranks in the top ten for experimental persuasiveness, specifically because of the iteration rate and the self-consistency across configurations. He noted that Drew's innovation rate alone, constantly testing new geometries and material stacks, is unlike anything he has seen from other groups making similar claims. Buhler pointed out that his theories were based on time-independent perturbation theory which Chester admits requires further examination from him. 8. NASA's UAP Investigation Had No Physicists Buhler and his wife, an engineer in NASA's Launch Services Program, were approached to assist with NASA's second UAP follow-on investigation. When Buhler asked to be placed with the physicists on the project, he was told there were none. The group was instrumentation-focused. Buhler says he was genuinely shocked.

In 2005, a 21-year-old Mark Zuckerberg sat down for an interview at Stanford. Facebook was 18 months old. He said: "Every day we do more than 230 million pageviews. In like two weeks we're gonna pass Google in pageviews." He was right. This 60 minute interview shows how he thought about building before anyone knew what Facebook would become: The company started because Harvard didn't have a Facebook. A directory where you could look people up. "I did two years at Harvard. During my sophomore year I decided that Harvard needed a facebook. It didn't have one. So I made it." He wrote the first version in a couple of weeks. Maybe less. "By the time I was done throwing together the site, I had no idea how successful it would end up being. I was actually thinking that after like a week I had a different idea I wanted to do. I was gonna scrap it and not do this." He almost killed Facebook to build something else. Then people started signing up. A couple hundred at first. Then requests from other schools. Then it spread. His roommate Dustin wanted to help but couldn't program. "He went home for the weekend, bought the book Perl for Dummies, came back and said 'Alright, I'm ready.' I'm like dude, the site's not written in Perl." But Dustin helped anyway. For most of the first year, it was just a few guys working around a kitchen table. They came out to Palo Alto for the summer because "this was a place that a lot of startups had been from" and because Mark had friends working at EA he wanted to hang out with. He never went back to school. By the time he was supposed to return, they had hundreds of thousands of users and Peter Thiel had put in the first investment. "That sort of made my parents think okay, this is something that could be cool. When I first started doing it they were like, what possible value could this have for you?" The metrics were already insane. 70% of users came back every single day. 85% weekly. 93% monthly. "That's really important for us because we're not trying to create something that people use for a specific purpose. This is a utility that people can use to find relevant information socially." 5.5 billion pageviews in September 2005. The 10th most visited website on the internet. More than a million dollars a month in revenue. "And we're not even doing anything cool yet." He refused to call it a social network. "I don't really call it a social network. I refer to it as an online directory. Saying that something is a social network is like saying that a company that has factories is in the assembly line space." When asked why Friendster and others plateaued, he had one answer: utility. "Making the site useful and keeping the utility there is the thing I focus on most. A lot of the reason why some of them failed is the horizontal social network piece works really well at growing stuff. That provides a technical challenge as user bases scale up really quickly." Friendster couldn't keep up with the technical load. Facebook could. They were also doing things with data that no one else was doing. "We compute a percentage of realness that a person is. If they fall below a threshold, they're done." "This is something my friends and I like to do. We just go through and see how real certain people are who we know are actually real people. 'Well, you're only 75% real.'" They could predict relationships. "One of the things my friend and I were messing around with the other night was seeing if we could use the information we had to compute who we thought were gonna be in relationships. We tested this about a week later. We had over a 1/3 chance of predicting whether two people were gonna be in a relationship a week from now." On hiring, he only cared about two things. "Number one is raw intelligence. If you find someone whose raw intelligence exceeds theirs but has ten years less experience, they can probably adapt and learn way quicker. Within a very short amount of time they can do a lot of things that person may never be able to do." "The second is alignment with what we're trying to do. People can be really smart or have skills that are directly applicable, but if they don't really believe in it, they're not gonna really work hard." "The best people I've hired so far have been people who didn't really have that much engineering experience. I hired a couple of electrical engineers out of Stanford to do programming stuff. They had very little programming experience going in. But really smart. Really willing to go at it." "The guy who just wrote photos was one of those guys. If you're willing to just go and do whatever it takes to get photos out, you're probably more valuable than someone who's just a career software engineer." When asked about exit strategy, he shut it down. "I spend my time thinking about how to build this, not how to exit. What we're doing is more interesting than what anyone else is doing. This is just a cool thing to be doing. I don't spend time thinking about that." His investor Jim Breyer added: "I actually don't either. We're long-term oriented investors." The only tension between them was whether to bring in an experienced CEO. "They look at this investment and say we have this 21-year-old kid running it. We should at least try to complement him with someone who has more experience running a business. Honestly, that's something I'm a little afraid of. Even though it's probably really good." "How quickly do you want to transition from being in a dorm room to being around your kitchen table to then hiring people and going into an office to having someone run the company like an experienced company leader? It's not necessarily something you just do overnight. You want to get there, but patience is somewhat important." He never hired that outside CEO. This 60 minute interview will teach you more about building, hiring, and thinking long-term than every startup biography combined. Bookmark & give it 60 minutes this weekend, no matter what.
