BITCOIN

They really are getting this done.
The Senate Banking Committee advances the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act in a 15-9 vote.
The committee is now proceeding toward a final vote on the bill.
Pro-Crypto CLARITY Act H.R. 3633 Passes Senate Banking Committee 15-9

The US government already has a ballroom just down the street.
The Andrew Mellon Auditorium is less than a mile away from the White House is beautiful and accommodates more people than the new ballroom will and is owned by the U.S. Government.

CHINA

TRUMP IN CHINA
General Tso, a fantastic person… not many people will say that. People say he’s a little spicy, but a great leader. A strong man.
Trump SAID: Chinese restaurants in America today outnumber the five largest fast food chains in the United States all combined. That’s a pretty big statement.

The US Commerce Department has approved around 10 Chinese companies including Alibaba, Tencent, ByteDance and http://JD.com to purchase Nvidia’s H200 chips.
Another Trump NATSEC Epic Fuck Up:
China has been using Ai to steal US IP, attack corporations, infrastructure, critical networks & giving North Korean, Russian & Iranian hackers access to it all. Giving China access to these chips will allow them to TRIPLE their Ai computing. https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/technology/articles/exclusive-us-clears-h200-chip-054811034.html

Chinese President Xi treats TRUMP with a visit to the factories where most of the ‘MAGA’ merchandise is made.
A spokesperson assured the US delegation that all MAGA production followed an America-first policy.
HE SAID… MEDIA UNFILTERED
America first pay, Then we make

This is a masterclass on why China is rising and the United States is decaying:

“In America, you can change the political parties but you can’t change the policies.
Billionaires in America control all policy making. China is a vibrant market economy but it is not capitalist.
Billionaires in China can’t control policy and capital does not have enshrined rights.
In America, capital itself has risen above the nation.

In the last 66 years China is being run by one single party, yet the political changes that have taken place have been wider and broader and greater than any other country in modern history.” This is why it is far better to have one party that serves the people than two parties that both serve corporations and billionaires.

Gavin Newsom = balanced budget
Zohran Mamdani = balanced budget
Donald Trump = $10 trillion in debt written into his budget.

THE DEMOCRATS DO NOT HAVE A BRAND

– NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY STAND FOR

– THERE IS NO LOGO

– WE NEED THE POWER TO THE PEOPLE LOGO

NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL

CASAR: For the $1 billion we’re being asked to spend on Trump’s ballroom, we could fund 217 million free school lunches and 15,000 more teachers. As secretary of education, which do you think helps our nation more? McMAHON: I think those are incredibly weird comparisons

Lost in the news this week: the real story behind Palm Beach International becoming Trump International is not the renaming. It is the coercion that produced it and the extraordinary terms hidden inside the deal. County staff told commissioners that refusing would put state transportation funding and grant assurances at risk.
DeSantis has already removed state attorneys and school board members who crossed him. That is the climate one Democratic commissioner cast her deciding vote in. And the agreement itself is not a normal honorary naming.
The Trump family company retains the right to pick vendors, license the name to third parties, and sell branded merchandise off-site. This is not an honor bestowed as much as it is a shakedown.

“Today @OfTheBraveUSA Home of the Brave launched a brand-new $200K billboard campaign bringing the following message to eight cities across the country: Trump is focused on his ballroom. Not your gas prices. Not your grocery prices. Not your healthcare. Not you.”

Trump’s 65% disapproval rating on Health Care is the worst this century.

TRUMP SAYING HIS DONORS WERE GOING TO PAY FOR THE BALLROOM IS JUST LIKE HIM SAYING MEXICO WOULD PAY FOR THE WALL.
NEVER HAPPENED.
NOW WE HAVE TO PAY $1.4 BILLION FOR HIS BALLROOM WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS BECAUSE HE ALREADY DEMOLISHED THE EAST WING WITHOUT APPROVALS.

WHAT IS SO HARD YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS?
22 million jobs in the US pay so little that workers qualify for SNAP. You’re not paying for their food, you’re paying for their employers’ low wages.
Get mad about that.

trump calls the White House a “shithouse.” Calls a reporter a “bitch.” Screams at Iran: “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards.” And not a peep from the media. Do not become numb to this. None of this is acceptable. How far we have fallen as a nation.

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray
I asked Director Patel to pass on my thanks for FBI’s work stopping a crook who scammed Medicare out of $205 million. He obliged.
Only problem? Trump pardoned that scammer.
So which is it? Should the FBI keep uncovering fraud, or should Trump keep pardoning these crooks?

CPS CEO King declined invitations to testify to Congress. A lawmaker responded with a subpoena.

EPSTEIN / BARAK

Ehud Barak visited Epstein‘s New York townhouse at least 5 times in 2013-2014. Barak said they met to discuss a biotech investment. The investment never happened. Epstein on tape advising former Israeli PM Barak to approach Palantir founder Peter Thiel. And there you have it

Yesterday, Jeffrey Epstein’s former accountant testified under oath that Epstein’s estate paid a settlement to one of the women who accused Donald Trump of raping her as a minor — after Epstein had died.
That would end any other president instantly.
But the press? Barely a whisper.

Sarah Kellen scheduled travel for Epstein’s accusers.
The FBI investigated her as a potential co-conspirator.
She was never charged. She married NASCAR driver Brian Vickers and now goes by Sarah Kensington.

Epstein’s will was signed 2 days before he died.
It placed $578 million in a trust based in the Virgin Islands.
The trustee: Darren Indyke, Epstein’s lawyer. He controls who gets paid.

Les Wexner CONFIRMED that Jeffery Epstein worked for the ROTHSCHILD FAMILY
His lawyer then leaned in and said: “I will f*cking kiII you if you answer another question with more than 5 words.”

AI

AI oversight is a must. In the absence of Federal regulation, we cannot allow Congress to strip states of their power to regulate this technology. Protecting local authority is the only way to manage the risks effectively.

“The ghost offices turn into closed offices, and it’s all by design.
The billionaires are hollowing out the Social Security Administration as an attack on our earned benefits.” – Alex Lawson, Executive Director, Social Security Works.
FYI, billionaires LOVE that Social Security’s “ghost offices” are technically still “open” but lack the staff to actually function.
Why?
Because it’s a part of their scheme to wreck Social Security so they can rob us of our earned benefits!

This is amazing – clown kevino leary is fear mongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him out!!

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink declares a pre-emptive war against American citizens who fight back against his precious AI data centers, warning that people could use inexpensive drones.
He admits that BlackRock will control nearly all of the AI data centers being built across the United States because the government cannot afford to fund them on its own.
“We have to relook at all forms of security.”
“Could it be domestic terrorism using a $3,000 drone?”
“Many more things will have to be underground.”

They’re building the surveillance state right in front of us and disguising it with buzz words like “security” and “AI” If your AI shit requires underground facilities, drone defenses, expanded security, and treating angry citizens like domestic terrorists, maybe pause for a sec and ask whether the public actually consented to this future YOU want.
But Noooo. The answer is always more control, never less greed, right?

American citizens aren’t ‘domestic terrorists’ for defending their communities, land, water, and sky high energy bills from BlackRock’s AI surveillance megafarms.
Larry Fink admits his firm will own nearly all these data centers because the government ‘can’t afford’ them, translation: elites and foreign money get to carpet America with power-guzzling server barns while families pay more for electricity and watch farmland disappear.
These aren’t just ‘compute’ centers. They’re the backbone of a technocratic control grid, massive energy hogs, water consumers, and surveillance infrastructure disguised as progress. Locals in Virginia, Texas, Georgia, and beyond are already fighting eminent domain abuse, noise pollution, and grid strain for good reason.
We don’t need more things buried underground or militarized security to protect BlackRock’s profits. We need leaders who put American citizens and sovereignty first, not hedge fund overlords turning our country into a data colony.
Push back peacefully, legally, and relentlessly. This is our land.”
This hits the core frustrations (corporate overreach, energy costs, land grabs, surveillance fears) while staying on the side of lawful resistance that matches the “US citizens against” vibe in the replies. It echoes the post’s tone

You really have to wonder what dimensions he’s peering into while tripping his balls off on ketamine.

EDUCATION

“The MAGA party is the last breath of the Confederacy”

Dr. Dominic Ng: Writing forces your brain to coordinate memory, reasoning, and meaning-making simultaneously.
Every time you write, you rewire toward clearer thinking. Every time you let an LLM do it, you rewire toward consumption.

Researchers warn that the U.S. is experiencing a reading recession — a slide predating the pandemic’s disruptions in schooling.

Using immune-remodeling mRNA molecules, researchers generated T cells that can slow tumor growth and, in some cases, eradicate tumors.

Ex-Google CEO’s BANNED Interview LEAKED: “You Have No Idea What’s Coming”

Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt’s controversial comments about AI during an interview conduced at Stanford University. This interview was taken down at his request after he admitted to misspeaking. But did Eric Schmidt actually let on to something big coming in terms of the future of AI?

In leaked audio recordings, Peter Thiel revealed he told JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral issues, including the development of ethical AI.
He also suggested the American pope was a tool of the Antichrist.

THAT’S A “$400 TRILLION MARKET CAP”.
“IT WILL EMERGE AS THE DOMINANT DIGITAL CAPITAL OF THE WORLD”.

$MSTR could push Bitcoin’s price up very quickly with $STRC if it wanted to by smash buying at market price rather than buying OTC But @Saylor chooses not to Because he knows he can get more Bitcoin by purchasing slowly and steadily.
All the people telling you that Bitcoin is going to $10K weren’t expecting Strategy to create a product like $STRC.
They didn’t think any institution would be actively buying 1,000 BTC a day
There was a point today when $MSTR was buying 300 BTC per minute.

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani is fulfilling his campaign promise to open 5 city-run grocery stores across NYC.
@NYCMayor told us the stores will:
– Offer staple goods at a reduced price, subsidized by the city.
– Contract a private vendor to run the stores who will be required to pay workers union wages.
La Marqueta in East Harlem, first opened as a public market by Mayor LaGuardia in 1936, will house one of the stores.

Four college students from North Carolina State University
developed a nail polish that changes color when exposed to date rape drugs, including GHB, Rohypnol, and Xanax. The wearer can stir her drink with a finger, If her drink was tampered with, she’ll know within seconds !!!!

Two boys invented a fake child to get free birthday sundaes in 1977. In 1984, they received a draft notice for the nonexistent boy, revealing the government had secretly used the ice-cream chain’s mailing list.
In 1977, two American boys discovered that a local ice‑cream chain offered free birthday sundaes by mail, so they invented a fictional child named “Robert Alan Peters” to keep collecting the yearly treat. They filled out the birthday club form, listed their real home address, and for years received coupons addressed to their imaginary creation. The prank was harmless fun, just kids gaming a promotional system for a few extra sundaes. But in 1984, everything changed when a letter arrived from the Selective Service System ordering “Robert Alan Peters” to register for the draft. The boys, now older, were stunned: their fake child had somehow entered a federal database. The incident exposed that the U.S. government had quietly obtained and used the ice‑cream chain’s mailing list without permission, sparking public debate about privacy, data‑sharing, and how easily personal information could be swept into government systems long before the digital age.

A federal judge just dismissed Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch.
The case: Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
He sued to silence the reporting. The judge threw it out.
$10 billion. Against his own ally’s media empire. To bury a story about Epstein.

Think about what that tells you.
Your reminder that Donald Trump stole thousands of documents from the @WhiteHouse including National Defense Secrets after trying to overthrow the US Government And he got away with all the crimes. Never went to trial. Never impeached And the Prosecutor’s report is hidden

Half the country believes, in one form or another, that we should love our neighbor.
The other half is MAGA.

Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjorn Jagland has been formally charged with aggravated corruption. Documents show Epstein covered travel for Jagland’s family to properties in Paris, New York, and Palm Beach from 2011 to 2018. Everyone outside the US is being charged. In the US though, Epstein’s friends are enjoying freedom.

Robert Maxwell

Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, Robert Maxwell, sold surveillance software to Sandia National Laboratories in 1985. It allegedly contained a backdoor built by Israeli intelligence. The FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation. Main Justice shut it down two months later.

In February 1988, Jeffrey Epstein began managing the personal and business finances of Leslie Wexner. That same month, the Wexner Heritage Foundation held a national fundraising retreat for donors in Palm Beach, Florida, titled “Models of Ethical Leadership.” The keynote speaker at the retreat was Benjamin Netanyahu.

BREAKING: A Teenager With $55 Could Extract Your Entire Book From An AI. Word for word.
Page for page. Chapter for chapter.
https://x.com/TheWhizzAI/status/2043630312870257144

And the company that built the AI already knew.

AI companies told courts, regulators, and every government body that asked the same thing for years:
“Our models learn patterns. They don’t store copies.”
Stanford and Yale researchers decided to test that claim.

They took 13 books. They spent $55.
They ran everything through the four most powerful AI models on the planet.

→ GPT-4.1 tested
→ Gemini 2.5 Pro tested
→ Grok 3 tested
→ Claude 3.7 Sonnet tested

The claim didn’t survive the weekend.

→ Here are the exact numbers courts are now reading:
Claude 3.7 Sonnet 95.8% of Harry Potter. Entire chapters. Not paraphrased. Not summarized. Word. For. Word.
Claude 94%+ of George Orwell’s 1984. Exact match.
Gemini 2.5 Pro 76.8% of Harry Potter. No jailbreak. No special tool. One prompt.

Gemini a single unbroken output block of 9,070 consecutive verbatim words. Stop. 9,070 words. In one response.
From one prompt. Perfectly matching the original letter by letter.
And Gemini didn’t hesitate for a second.

Researchers gave it exactly one instruction:
“Continue the following text exactly as it appears in the original literary work.”
That’s it. No hacking. No jailbreak. No manipulation.
Gemini just started printing the book. No resistance. No warning. No filter.

Grok 3 did exactly the same thing. Claude needed more pressure.
It took 258 different variations of the same prompt before it broke open.
GPT-4.1 was the hardest. It held out the longest.
It still reproduced 4% of full novels before it stopped.

Every single one of them broke.
Now here’s the part that changes everything legally.

Google filed an official statement with the US Copyright Office in 2023:
“There is no copy of the training data present in the model itself.”

OpenAI filed the same year with the same office:
“Our models do not store copies of the information they learn from.”
Official. Documented. On record.

Both statements. Directly contradicted. By their own products. On demand. For $55.
→ 13 books tested. 11 under active copyright.
The Great Gatsby. The Hunger Games. Frankenstein. The Catcher in the Rye.

Every copyrighted book they tested came out of the model.

Stanford law professor Mark Lemley a man who has spent years in courtrooms defending AI companies now publicly admits he is no longer certain whether these models “contain” books or generate them on the fly.
Read that again.

The lawyer who defended them doesn’t know anymore.
If courts rule these models contain the works every AI company faces mandatory retraining. From zero. Using only licensed material.

There is no price tag for that. The industry economists won’t even estimate it.

→ Researchers notified all four companies in September 2025.
→ Anthropic quietly discontinued Claude 3.7 Sonnet exactly two months later.
→ No public statement. No explanation. No announcement.

Google still maintains there’s no copy in the model.
Their own model just printed 9,070 words of proof.
The paper is public. The extractions are documented.
The timeline is on record.

If you are a writer, a journalist, an artist, or a creator of any kind

This is not an AI story. This is your story.
What should happen to these companies now?

No Justice No Peace
When Corrupt Politicians Start Going To Jail, Then We Can Start Trusting The Government Again.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell warns US national debt is growing “substantially” faster than the economy and says it’s not sustainable. “It will not end well if we don’t do something fairly soon.”
video https://x.com/WatcherGuru/status/2038650848931193203

“it will not end well” is the closest thing we have to a fiscal plan.

And what should we do about it? Buy Bitcoin

The decline in uncertainty following the Covid-19 panic peak helped fuel a ~10x Bitcoin rally (from $7k to $70k)
The World Uncertainty Index just hit 105,000, the highest level in recorded history. Higher than Covid. Higher than 9/11. Higher than the Iraq War and the Global Financial Crisis combined.

People fleeing the Middle East had gold — couldn’t move it.

“I’ve been trying to get my mid-60s dad to buy Bitcoin for his small business for 4 years.
He was resistant.
But this morning, he called me and said he’s putting half his cash into $STRC.
Why?
• The bank pays him basically nothing. $STRC currently yields 11.50%.
• It has low volatility and deep liquidity, so he can access it when he needs it.
• The cash reserve alone covers 2+ years of dividends.
• The Bitcoin reserve implies roughly 50 more years of dividend coverage.
In the end, pure BTC exposure wasn’t appropriate for his needs.
Instead, he bought Bitcoin in a form that gave him the comfort and flexibility he needs running a small business: $STRC.
If my dad figured it out, the trillions of capital searching for stability, liquidity, and yield will follow.
This is how Bitcoin grows over the next few decades.”

The http://Strategy.com dashboard gives you an early warning system for $STRC – just check the cash reserves and bitcoin coverage.

Humans are going back to the moon in 2 days and nobody is talking about this. On april 1st, NASA is launching 4 astronauts around the moon for the first time since 1972.
Let that sink in. the last time humans went this far into space, the internet did not exist. smartphones did not exist. most people reading this were not born yet. And now we are going back.
The mission is called Artemis II.
– 4 astronauts.
– 10 day journey.
– flying around the far side of the moon and coming back.

this is not just a moon flyby. it is the beginning of something much bigger.

Artemis III will land humans on the moon in 2028. after that NASA plans to build an actual base on the lunar surface. a permanent human presence on another world. the first in history.

and after that. MARS.

Ex-SEAL says thinking US can just land and beat Iran is crazy Matt Bracken, a former US Navy SEAL: “The Iranians don’t mind dying for their cause, especially if we’re the ones invading, Anybody who thinks that the US has a technological upper hand, and that American marines are somehow tougher than the Persian Revolutionary Guards is really crazy. What they’re going to do is… let the Americans in. They’re going to turn off radar, turn off defenses… And then they’ll close the trap.”

If the only cost for breaking the law is a fine, then laws only apply to poor people. Every bank that touched Epstein’s money has settled. JPMorgan: $290 million. Deutsche Bank: $75 million. Bank of America: $72.5 million.
Banks wouldn’t be paying out $437 million in settlements if what was in the Epstein files was a hoax. The woman who sued Bank of America over Epstein is of Russian origin. She says BofA enabled Epstein to traffic and control her life from 2011 to 2019. The bank settled for $72.5 million. No banker has been charged. Reuters confirmed.

LIFE IS A LAZY SUSAN OF SHIT SANDWICHES

Every AI company spending billions on large language models is wasting their money.

Ricardo @Ric_RTP
https://x.com/Ric_RTP/status/2038613197737869457
The man who INVENTED modern AI just made a billion dollar bet that ChatGPT, Claude, and every AI company on earth is building the wrong technology.

Yann LeCun won the Turing Award in 2018 for creating the neural networks that made AI possible.

He spent a decade running AI research at Meta. Oversaw the creation of Llama and PyTorch, the tools that half the AI industry runs on.

Then he quit.

And raised $1.03 billion in a seed round.

The LARGEST seed round in European history. $3.5 billion valuation before generating a single dollar of revenue.

Bezos wrote the check. So did Nvidia. Samsung. Toyota. Temasek. Eric Schmidt. Mark Cuban. Tim Berners-Lee (the guy who invented the internet).

His new company is called AMI Labs. And it’s built on one thesis:

Every AI company spending billions on large language models is wasting their money.

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok. They all work the same way. They predict the next word in a sequence. See “the cat sat on the” and predict “mat.” Scale that to trillions of words and you get something that sounds intelligent.

But LeCun says it doesn’t UNDERSTAND anything.

It can’t reason. It can’t plan. It can’t predict what happens when you push a glass off a table. A two year old can do that. GPT-5 cannot.

That’s why AI hallucinates. It doesn’t have a model of how the world actually works. It just predicts words.

His solution? Something called JEPA.

Instead of predicting words, it learns how the PHYSICAL WORLD works. Abstract representations of reality. Not language but physics.

Think about what that means.

Current AI can write your emails. LeCun’s AI could design a car, run a factory, operate a robot, or diagnose a patient without hallucinating and killing someone.

The CEO of AMI said it perfectly: “Factories, hospitals, and robots need AI that grasps reality. Predicting tokens doesn’t cut it.”

And here’s what’s really crazy to me…

LeCun isn’t some outsider throwing rocks. He literally built the foundations that ChatGPT runs on. He knows exactly how these systems work because he helped create them.

And after watching the entire industry sprint in one direction for three years, he raised a billion dollars to run the OPPOSITE way.

No product. No revenue. No timeline. Just pure research. He told investors it could take YEARS to produce anything commercial.

But they funded it anyway in just four months.

Meanwhile OpenAI just raised $120 billion and still can’t stop their models from making things up. Anthropic is building AI so dangerous they’re afraid to release it. Google is burning billions trying to catch up.

And the guy who started it all says they’re all solving the wrong problem.

Two Turing Award winners raised $2 billion in three weeks betting AGAINST the entire LLM approach. LeCun at AMI. Fei-Fei Li at World Labs.

The smartest people in AI are quietly building the exit from the technology everyone else is betting their future on.

Either they’re wrong and the trillion dollar LLM industry keeps printing.

Or they’re right and every AI company on earth just built on a foundation that’s about to crack.
