New luxury belief just dropped
TheNew York Times OPINION
‘The Rich Don’t Play by the Rules. So Why Should I?’
Why petty theft might be the new political protest.

Lawrence Lepard, “fix the money, fix the world”
@LawrenceLepard
I’ll take things that will never happen for $500, Alex.
Kevin Warsh:
“Working with the Treasury Secretary, we’re going to have to find a way in which we can take the balance sheet and make it smaller”, he said as part of his confirmation hearing to succeed current Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
Does this guy have any clue how this system works? His statement only makes sense if they force the banks into YCC.

Your smart TV is taking screenshots of your screen every 15 seconds.
Not a guess. Not a theory. How to make it stop.
A peer-reviewed study by researchers at UC Davis, UCL, and UC3M tested it.

California will lose 15.7% of its public school students by 2031.
Nearly 3x the national rate. Idaho and Florida are growing. This isn’t an inevitability — it’a consequence of what happens when housing costs too much and schools stop working.

@garrytan
Vanguard didn’t invent investing.
They studied how mutual funds extracted 2% for doing nothing, then built the index fund.
Costco didn’t invent retail. They studied how grocery/retail surrounded commodity goods with margin layers, then built a model that runs on membership fees instead.
Amazon early days — same move on books, then everything.
Generic drugs — same molecule, minus the extraction layer.
Open source — same software, minus the license rent.

So Trump’s desired Fed stooge, Kevin Warsh, is married to Jane Lauder, the 53-year-old Estée Lauder heiress worth $2 billion, and the daughter of far-right Netanyahu- and Trump-supporting Ronald, worth upwards of $4.9 billion.
In 2016, Ron gave $1.1 million to “Secure America Now,” a group that produced anti-Muslim advertisements, leading to criticism and calls for his resignation from the World Jewish Congress, for which he serves as president. In early 2025, Lauder pledged $5 million to MAGA Inc., a fundraising operation for Trump’s extremist movement.

Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners. Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back.

Which Art World Power Players Are Facing Fallout From the Epstein Files?

 

Brock Pierce’s dark and disturbing friendship with Jeffrey Epstein

Collector Thomas Pritzker resigned from his post as Les Wexner calls himself “naive” for trusting the late sex offender.

 

Eric Trump — the president’s son — is on Maria Bartiromo’s show bragging about one of his companies landing a $24 million Pentagon contract. Maria has always been a consummate kleptocracy shill.

 

If ever we need fraud or criminal investigated https://x.com/zachxbt

 

Warsh says he wants to shrink the Fed’s balance sheet to zero and end QE. Sounds familiar — his boss, Donald Trump, was talking about eliminating the national debt 12 years ago. Olympic level Gas-lighting.

New Study Finds That ADHD Has 9 Categories of Symptoms
ADHD is often characterized as having two, or in some cases three, big families of symptoms: Inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Often, hyperactive and impulsive symptoms are banded together.
A new qualitative study confirms what research has been showing for years: More categories of symptoms can define ADHD, and not all of them are in the DSM. Using a thematic analysis on adults with ADHD, a new study identified nine categories of symptoms people with ADHD experience. Among those, we feature the original triad mentioned in the DSM: inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity. But the six others are only mentioned in passing or not at all. Here they are:

TETHER

@0xSweep
Tether is a $184 BILLION stablecoin and has never been audited

Tether is the 17th largest holder of US Treasuries on earth, holding more US government debt than Germany, South Korea, or the UAE.

None of it has ever been verified by a full audit

In 2017 Tether hired Friedman LLP to audit the reserves. Friedman started asking what Tether called “excruciatingly detailed” questions, which is literally what an audit is and the engagement ended

5 years later the SEC fined Friedman 1.5 million dollars for failed audits of public companies during the same period they were looking at Tether

In 2018 Tether’s own lawyer Stuart Hoegner said a full audit was “months away, not years”

That was 8 years ago

In 2021 the CFTC fined Tether 41 million dollars for lying about reserves

The regulator found that from June 2016 through February 2019, USDT was only fully backed 27.6% of the time

For 17.5 of those 26 months, the stablecoin “pegged 1 to 1 to the dollar” was not actually backed 1 to 1 to the dollar

In June 2017 Tether had 442 million tokens in circulation and never more than 61.5 million dollars in the bank to back them

The New York Attorney General separately found Tether had secretly lent 850 million dollars of reserves to Bitfinex to cover a hole from frozen payment processor funds

The AG called Tether’s claim of full backing “a lie”

In 2024 Tether’s CEO Paolo Ardoino admitted the Big Four accounting firms refused to touch the company

His quote: “Why would you risk 100,000 customers for a couple of stablecoins?”

The biggest auditors on earth said Tether was too risky to their reputation

Instead of a real audit, Tether publishes quarterly “attestations” from BDO Italia

Attestations are not audits, they are one day snapshots of what Tether showed the accountant

The BDO reports themselves say the engagement is limited to a single point in time and management’s own notes were not subject to any assurance

In March 2026 Tether finally announced they hired a Big Four firm for their first real audit in 12 years but they refused to name it

Tether has promised an audit every year since 2014 and every single one of them collapsed

One company controls 184 billion dollars, holds more US government debt than most countries, owns 148 tons of physical gold, prints a dollar every time someone wants one and has never shown anyone the vault

 

The Epstein files mention Russia 5,876 times.
Putin appears 1,055 times.
Thorbjorn Jagland, Secretary General of the Council of Europe, brokered contact between Epstein and Putin’s office. FSB-linked contacts documented. This was not just about sex trafficking.

Twenty seven government agencies and counting.

When a Palantir exec‑turned‑whistleblower tells us that the company intends on taking over the U.S. government, maybe we should believe him?

UK Palantir chief Louis Mosley
is the grandson of the most infamous fascist in British history, Oswald Mosley
, who had his wedding at Goebbels’ house so Hitler could attend. In America, Technocracy, Inc.—which included Elon Musk’s grandfather—supported him.”

You have nothing to fear,
if you have nothing to hide”
– Josepb Goebbels,
Reich Minister of Propaganda
in Nazi Germany –

“Ultimately, arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”
― Edward Snowden We do not consent

ECP NetHappenings Alex Karp is a stone-cold lunatic

Alex Karp — whose company builds surveillance and defense technology for the U.S. government — just openly stated that AI will deliberately shift economic power away from highly educated, often female, Democratic-leaning workers and toward vocationally trained, working-class, often male voters. He then admitted these technologies are — his word — “dangerous” and “suicidal,” and that the only justification for deploying them is the military argument: if we don’t, our adversaries will. So let’s be clear about what was just said on the record: A defense contractor CEO told you AI is being built to restructure the American class system, that it will destroy the economic power of an entire political demographic, and that the only way to sell it to the public is to wrap it in national security.

Palantir’s Manifesto Promises a Dystopian Future
The tech company’s CEO Alex Karp delivers a self-serving broadside that’s steeped in oligarchic hubris and authoritarian nihilism

Should men like Alex Karp decide what this country is? He certainly thinks so. Karp wants to bring back the draft and we have. The CEO of Palantir, Alex Karp, who is pushing for a national draft because his company profits off endless war is as psychotic as you’d expect him to be.

When Alex Karp met Mosley to discuss his role at Palantir in 2016,
Mosley reported that Karp repeated a memorized speech Mosley’s fascist grandfather had made, then did some tai chi & left. That’s no interview. Was being the grandson of a notorious fascist all Palantir needed?

 Fun fact about Louis: his grandfather Oswald was married at Goebbels’ house in 1936 and Hitler was a guest of honor God forbid the British medical community question why this openly fascist, CIA-funded, surveillance company have access to all of its NHS data and processes

Klaus Schwab declares an end to privacy. “You have to get used to it. You have to behave accordingly.” “But if you have nothing to hide, you shouldn’t be afraid.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp just paid a staggering $120 million for a 3,700-Acre Colorado monastery. It’s the most expensive residential property purchase in the area to date. Karp reportedly owns 20 properties around the world, many in top skiing locations.
Peter Thiel’s Nazi cancer company has an ideological manifesto based on the cocaine meanderings of Alex Karp. This pile of garbage is not worth $500 billion. It’s just business software run by psychopaths who will do literally any evil shit you can imagine for money.
Alex Karp is a stone-cold lunatic, a hyperactive brainwashed weirdo who chooses the most immoral possible path as a business model. This stock is the greatest short opportunity in the history of the world. It’s just a psyop.

EPSTEIN CLASS

@SimonDixonTwitt
So World Liberty Financial allegedly uses its illiquid token $WLFI (like $CEL did with Celsius and $FTT did with FTX) to mint its own stablecoin, allowing it to buy U.S. Treasuries and earn millions in yield from U.S. government debt, while the co-founder’s father (Witkoff) negotiates a nuclear deal in the war that his co-founder’s father (President Trump) started after tearing up the last Iran deal.
The Trump and Witkoff families are using a token to earn yield on the debt the U.S. government is incurring from the Iran war.
Let that sink in.
It’s like the Trump family wasn’t around during the 2017 ICO cycle or the 2022 yield platform collapse, and is now reliving it with Justin Sun in 2026, with a presidential pardon added to the mix.

Ana Kasparian reveals that Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, was literally Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaign manager. This is a HUGE problem.

Banks, royals, and close associates of Jeffrey Epstein have now paid more than $1 billion in civil settlements to make sex trafficking lawsuits disappear. Every defendant settled the moment a trial date was set. None admitted wrongdoing.

Jeffrey Epstein claimed to manage money for billionaires.
Files confirm one client: Les Wexner.
No investment license. No disclosed fund. Income sources never explained.

The ledger:
JPMorgan — $365M (2023)
Two settlements. A federal judge still refused to dismiss obstruction and negligence claims after the second one.

Epstein Estate — ~$335M (2021–2026)
Includes a victims compensation fund that required survivors to waive the right to sue Epstein’s associates Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn as a condition of payment.

Deutsche Bank — $251M (2020–2023)
Three settlements over a decade of ignoring documented red flags on Epstein accounts.

Bank of America — $72.5M (March 2026)
Suit alleged BofA didn’t just bank Epstein — it “assisted in setting up the necessary financial structure to operate his sex-trafficking venture.” Payments to ~75 survivors began this week.

Leon Black — $62.5M (2023)
Black admitted the $158M he paid Epstein’s company Southern Trust “partially funded” Epstein’s Virgin Islands operations. A separate suit alleging he abused a 16-year-old is ongoing.

Andrew / British Royal Family — ~$16M (2022)
Virginia Giuffre, groomed by Epstein as a minor at Mar-a-Lago in 2000, filed suit after New York passed a law allowing childhood sex abuse victims to sue past the statute of limitations.

Two arrests. One conviction. $1,000,000,000+ in settlements.

Convicted sex criminal Ghislaine Maxwell socialized with Melania from Palm Beach to Manhattan. Emails revealed in the Epstein Files show that the two communicated. Today, the DOJ is still hiding nearly half the files. Why? What’s being hidden? Oversight Dems will find out.

LINKAND IT BEGINS

Sullivan & Cromwell just admitted to a federal judge its court filings contained AI hallucinations.

The firm apologized to the federal judge as they had to submit multiple corrections focused around:

• Fictitious Case Names: The filing included names of legal cases that do not exist

• Fabricated Quotes: The document contained direct quotes that were never actually spoken or written

• Non-existent Statutes: The AI incorrectly analyzed or entirely invented provisions within the U.S. Bankruptcy Code

The primary team and secondary review all failed to catch these errors, meanwhile the firm’s partners bill $2,000+ per hour

WHEN THE WATER SUPPLY RUNS OUT, AN ALGORITHM WON’T QUENCH YOUR THIRST. WE NEED TO EXAMINE WHY AI DATA CENTERS’ COOLIN TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER THE RIGHTS OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES TO ACCESS WATER.

Four-star military officer Admiral Samuel Paparo confirms the USA is running a Bitcoin node.
“We have a node on the Bitcoin network right now. We’re doing a number of operational tests to secure and protect networks using the Bitcoin protocol.”

The U.S. military running a Bitcoin node and testing the protocol for network security is one of the most significant institutional validation moments in Bitcoin’s history. When a four-star admiral confirms operational testing, this is no longer a fringe financial experiment. It’s infrastructure.

LINKToday @JamesTate121 writes
Saudi Arabia built its future on oil and then covered 300 square kilometers of its own desert with 9 million solar panels and switched them all on simultaneously. The world’s largest single solar installation is now operational in the country that built the modern fossil fuel economy and the symbolism is impossible to separate from the engineering achievement. At full capacity the farm delivers power at a scale that places it in a category of its own, a single continuous installation larger than many cities generating clean electricity from the same desert sun that sits above the oil fields that powered the last century.

Stupid MAGAts, they just deflect from the fact that they voted from him. Petrol could go up to $200 a gallon, and they still wouldn’t say anything or blame someone else.

They will never admit he’s a criminal, because that would mean he’s made fools out of them all. Republicans are going to get trounced in November. It’s been a long time coming. Vote Blue .

FUNNY STORY

The Inspector General Investigating the Trading Scandal at the Fed, Reports to Fed Chair Jerome Powell, Whose Own Trading Is Dubious

Fed Chair Jerome Powell was quick to refer an investigation into the Fed’s trading scandal to the Inspector General of the Federal Reserve. Notably, he did not refer the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice which has criminal prosecution powers.

ESSAY @Handre 
When Andrew Jackson killed the Second Bank of the United States in 1836, America entered its longest period of economic growth in history. No central bank. No monetary manipulation. No artificial credit expansion. Just hard money and free markets doing what they do best.
Jackson understood that central banking represented the ultimate marriage of state power and financial privilege. The Second Bank held a monopoly on federal deposits, could suspend specie payments at will, and effectively controlled the money supply of the entire nation. When Jackson vetoed its recharter, he declared it “a hydra of corruption, dangerous to our liberties.”
He was right.
What followed destroyed every modern myth about the necessity of central banking. From 1836 to 1913, the United States experienced unprecedented economic expansion with no Federal Reserve, no deposit insurance, and no lender of last resort. Real wages doubled. Industrial production exploded. Immigration soared as people fled the monetary chaos of Europe for American opportunity. Banks competed on reputation and actual reserves, not government guarantees.
The panics that did occur were sharp but brief. Markets cleared quickly without government intervention. Bad investments liquidated fast. Resources moved to productive uses. Compare this to our modern system of perpetual bailouts, zombie banks, and asset bubbles that never fully deflate.
Wall Street spent 77 years lobbying to recreate central banking, finally succeeding with the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. They sold it as stability and progress. What Americans got was the Great Depression, endless boom-bust cycles, and a dollar worth 4 cents of its original value. Jackson’s corpse is spinning in its grave while your purchasing power evaporates by design.
The time has come to end the Fed… and the ECB.
