COLLEGE

You thought sending your kid or your grandkid to Stanford, Yale, or Harvard was special.
No, you’re a dummy! That’s not special.
Power doesn’t send their kids there!
Power Kids are elite people who only school with each other, and you’re not in that class.
Inside ‘The School Of Kings’, Le Rosey, the World’s Most Exclusive School, Has A Yearly Fee Of USD 150K
Institut Le Rosey, commonly referred to as Le Rosey, is a private boarding school located in Rolle, a municipality in the Canton of Vaud, Switzerland. The school charges between 130,000 US dollars and 150,000 US dollars annually as a boarding fee and between 56,000 US dollars and 65,000 US dollars for day scholars. Le Rosey is the quota system, which was implemented to ensure that students from all countries get a rightful place in the institution. According to reports, a maximum of 10 per cent of the student body can be from a particular country, resulting in students from 58 different countries learning at Le Rosey.
Le Rosey, in Switzerland, is the boarding school of the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, sultans, and future presidents. In summer, a castle on the shores of Lake Geneva. In winter, Gstaad. There, physical education means skiing in the Alps. Then, equestrian training, art, music, and philanthropy. Because there, they don’t just teach you how to be rich. They teach you how to be the kind of rich that’s respected. What we call around here cradle rich.
The elite school was founded in 1880 and can be likened to the ‘Hogwarts’ of the real world, given that only a select segment of society is admitted to the school. The school had housed several famous ‘Les Anciens Roséens’, aka the old alumni of Le Rosey. This list includes Aga Khan IV, King Albert II of Belgium, Prince Rainier III of Monaco, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, King Juan Carlos I of Spain, Sean Lennon, Tracee Ellis Ross and Julian Casablancas among several others.
The school is not just an institution, but an entire universe in its own right, offering exclusive academic courses, activities, and more, preparing the next generation not only for life, but also for running and building successful empires. Le Rosey is among the top 10 international schools in Switzerland and is featured in The Schools Index, ranking among the world’s best 150 private schools. The school offers a well-rounded academic education to the global elite, teaching them how to run and grow the empire they will soon be entrusted with. However, their strict admission requirement, massive fee structure and exclusivity will not allow just anyone to become a ‘Rosean’.
So, without any further ado, let’s take a look at everything we know about the institute where royalties and billionaire heirs are groomed for life. The school has its own campus in the ski resort village of Gstaad in the Canton of Bern, where the faculty, staff and students reside during the months of January through March. The main campus of Le Rosey still stands tall in Rolle and dates back to the Middle Ages.

TRANSHUMANISM ATTRACTS ASSHOLES

What do Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, and Elon Musk all have in common?
They are all obsessed with transhumanism.
-Altman wants to upload minds.
-Thiel funds young‑plasma transfusions.
-Musk wants human‑AI symbiosis.
They all believe in singularity, where man and machine merge into one to reach our full potential.
They’re not hiding their plan. They say it out loud.
The only step left is getting the public on board.
Don’t give them a pass. Name them. Call it out.
It is wild how long Peter Thiel got away with lying about Jeffrey Epstein.
He tried to downplay their connection, but emails prove they met constantly for years.
Epstein even invested tens of millions into Thiel’s ventures and even acted as his personal tax advisor

“Mr Gates – do you have anything further to say following your name being released in the Epstein files last night?”
Bill Gates questioned about his Jeffrey Epstein Association, and claims he drugged his wife, while in Australia.

DONALD TRUMP:

“I’m not a Christian.”

 

DC police responding to a domestic assault call documented that Rep. Cory Mills, on a phone call with the victim, instructed her to lie about where her bruises came from. Officers listened.
They still sent an arrest warrant. Trump’s US Attorney for DC, Ed Martin — who calls himself “President Trump’s lawyer” — refused to sign it.
A supervisor reclassified the assault as a family disturbance. The arresting officer told the victim on body cam: “I have bosses making this into a family disturbance instead of an actual domestic assault.”
MPD internal affairs opened an investigation into its own handling of the case. The criminal probe was later closed. The House Ethics Committee investigation remains open.

AGAIN The media moved on like nothing happened.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Keep sharing this so it doesn’t get buried.

Trump’s religious advisor and head of the White House Faith Office, Pastor Paula White, changes the name from the Book of Jeremiah to the Paula White Bible and declares that she is writing her own Bible, which is a revelation from God, and that He speaks through her!

John Abendshien, 79, of Lake Forest, IL. previously was the owner of the Winnetka house where the “Home Alone” movie was filmed.
Abendshien was arrested this week and charged with numerous felonies after authorities found him in possession of child sexual abuse material of children aged 4 to 15.  This is just beyond horrifying. There is no bottom to the depravity.
Once again. Not an immigrant. Not a drag queen. Not a Mexican.

Josh Shapiro @JoshShapiroPA
Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans gutted Medicaid for 310,000 Pennsylvanians and threatened 26 of our rural hospitals — all to fund a massive tax cut for people who don’t need it.
It’s beyond shameful — and Pennsylvanians are ready to hold them accountable on November 3rd.
BIG: Josh Shapiro has signed legislation requiring colleges to disclose the *real* cost of attendance to all admitted students. Experts predict this will pressure colleges to reduce hidden fees.

JASON LOWERY:
“Blaming Bitcoin to protect your failing hegemony is not going to help you, your financial system is still going to collapse.” “Bitcoin didn’t cause a bunch of bankers to debase savers and to destroy the purchasing power of the currency.”

HEMP HOMES
Fire Resistant & Extremely Energy Efficient
“Hemp fibre wall, stayed for 4 hours under fire of 360°c and does not burn. Hemp walls are soundproof, act as an insulating layer and they are also extremly fire resistant.”
This is an absolutely incredible advancement in home building, fire prevention and retaining heat in the winter and energy efficient.

ESSAY

44% of Gen Z employees are secretly destroying their company’s AI systems from the inside.

They’re literally poisoning the data, faking the results, and making AI look like it doesn’t work.

This new survey of 2,400 workers by Writer and Workplace Intelligence is genuinely unbelievable…

29% of ALL employees admit to actively sabotaging their company’s AI strategy.

Among Gen Z workers? 44%.

Nearly HALF.

What they’re doing:

– Feeding proprietary company data into public AI tools on purpose
– Tampering with performance reviews to make AI look like it’s underperforming
– Deliberately generating garbage output so leadership thinks the technology is broken
– Refusing training
– Refusing to log in
– Some are even manipulating analytics dashboards to HIDE any productivity gains AI actually delivers

They have a name for it too: FOBO. Fear Of Becoming Obsolete.

And it honestly makes complete sense when you look at what their CEOs are telling them.

Palantir’s CEO stood on a stage at Davos in January and said “AI will destroy humanities jobs.” Direct quote. Then added “You’re effed.”

Anthropic’s CEO said AI could eliminate HALF of all entry-level white-collar jobs.

Microsoft’s AI chief said ALL white-collar work could be automated within 18 months.

These aren’t random Twitter predictions. These are the CEOs of the companies BUILDING the AI.

Telling the workforce directly that they’re about to be replaced.

Then those same companies turn around and say “please adopt this tool that’s going to take your job.”

And they’re genuinely confused when employees fight back.

The data gets even worse though:

60% of executives say they’re considering FIRING employees who refuse to adopt AI. 77% say they’ll block promotions for anyone who resists.

Accenture is literally monitoring weekly AI login data to decide who gets promoted.

Meanwhile the job market for the people being told to “adapt or die” looks like this:

– Entry-level software postings dropped from 43% to 28% since 2023
– 43% of US graduates aged 22 to 27 are underemployed
– 60% of entry-level jobs now require 3+ years of experience
– 80,000 tech workers have been laid off in 2026 alone

AI was the LEADING cause of job cuts in March 2026 for the first time in recorded history.

So the math is simple:

CEOs are telling workers AI will replace them. Then demanding they use it. Then threatening to fire them if they don’t. All while the job market outside is collapsing.

And they wonder why 44% of Gen Z is burning it from the inside.

But here’s the part that surprised me the most:

75% of the executives in the same survey admitted their company’s AI strategy is “more for show than a meaningful guide to outcomes.”

3 out of 4 companies don’t even HAVE a real AI strategy.

They’re forcing adoption of tools they don’t understand. For strategies they haven’t built. While threatening the livelihoods of people who see through the entire charade.

54% of executives also said AI is “tearing their company apart.”

Well… no shit.

This is the first organized sabotage campaign against a technology in modern corporate history.

The last time workers systematically destroyed the machines threatening their jobs was the Luddite movement in 1811. Factory workers smashing textile looms across England.

History books treated them like idiots.

Turns out they were 200 years early.

The only difference is that today’s sabotage is invisible.

Corrupted data, faked metrics, and an entire generation quietly making sure the robots don’t work.

And the craziest part is that the executives threatening to fire them are the same ones who can’t tell the AI is being sabotaged.

Because they don’t understand the technology either.

Facebook agrees to pay France €106m in back taxes for the last TEN YEARS
When you’re a large multinational company or a very high net worth individual, then taxes aren’t really an objective calculation. The tax code in most countries, despite being tens of thousands of pages of legalese, are extremely subjective. This subjective and loose language allow for innumerable loopholes and tax dodges.  If you’re using these creative methods, the chances are that you’ll get audited every single year by the IRS or local equivalent. Trump famously gets audited every year. Your tax lawyers & accountants will then negotiate a tax payment with the tax office. I used the word negotiate because there is no one true formula for tax owed. It doesn’t exist, especially not for corporations.
When you add in ‘creative’ intellectual property ownership and royalty payments, then the tax office basically has no idea where money is flowing. This is why EU countries commonly lob these huge penalties. Facebook tries to pay X in tax, and the tax office says they should pay X2, and then after negotiation they pay X1.5.

Yale Antitrust Scholars Resign
Because Director Advises Apple, Amazon
A leading antitrust crusader revealed she was getting paid by companies facing antitrust scrutiny by federal and state authorities, as well as her own antitrust research project. Fiona Scott Morton had failed to disclose consulting contracts with Apple and Amazon, which Morton defended by pointing to her criticisms of Facebook and Google. As author David Dayen points out in the piece, all these companies regularly conduct similar antitrust violations:

 

Post Office

CREW Executive Director Noah Bookbinder submitted written testimony to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform on the Trump Administration’s repeated and flagrant attempts to undermine the United States Postal Service (USPS) and specifically the serious ethical issues raised by Trump-appointed Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s service.
DeJoy is the first Postmaster General in decades to have no experience as a letter carrier, a qualification that ensured every previous Postmaster General personally understood the critical work of the agency’s core employees. DeJoy has been a willing and eager participant in Trump’s attempts to attack and discredit the USPS generally, and the safe, nonpartisan process of voting by mail. In addition to his lack of qualifications, and his furtherance of Trump’s baseless attacks on voting by mail, he holds at least $30 million of financial interests in USPS competitors and contractors. DeJoy and Trump appear to be intentionally destroying an institution that has served our nation since before the Constitution, no less during a pandemic when voters are relying on voting by mail to decrease the risk of contracting or spreading the coronavirus. We urge Congress to not allow for the destruction of an institution that is so fundamentally tied to our rights and the social fabric of our nation.

Twitter ‘Transparency Center’ shows government data requests by country. “About every six months, Twitter releases a transparency report detailing things like how many state-backed accounts it has suspended and the number of government requests for information on account holders.

Joe Sullivan, Uber’s former security chief who currently serves as Cloudflare’s security head, was charged this week with attempting to conceal a massive data breach that saw hackers steal 57 million user accounts of Uber drivers and passengers. The charges are “believed to be the first against an executive stemming from a company’s response to a security incident,” reports @kateconger (https://twitter.com/kateconger) . Sullivan negotiated a $100,000 “bug bounty” payout to the hackers, which later cost him his job. The hackers were later charged by U.S. prosecutors. Uber didn’t disclose the breach until a year later in 2017, after which Uber was forced to pay $148 million to settle an investigation brought by several attorneys general.

One of the charges is “misprision of a felony,” a fairly archaic crime. The elements are Principal completed felony; Defendant had full knowledge of that fact; failed to notify authorities; and took affirmative steps to conceal the crime.

Earlier this year the company’s Princess Cruises brand admitted a data breach (https://techcrunch.com/2020/03/13/princess-cruises-coronavirus-breach/) involving names, addresses, Social Security numbers and government IDs — including passport numbers and driver license numbers — along with financial and health information.

Police Want Your Smart Speaker—Here’s Why

 

Actor Felicity Huffman is set to plead guilty in nationwide college cheating scandal.

Don’t the colleges know all about this?

#CollegeCheatingScandal

What about the influence of alumni and university donors on the admissions process? We need to investigate the full extent of corruption in the system. #collegeadmissionsscandal #CollegeCheatingScandal

Felicity Huffman pleads guilty to paying $15,000 to have a proctor boost her daughter’s SAT scores. It is part of one of the largest college admissions scandals.

Huffman pled guilty on Monday to allegations of paying $15,000 to rig her daughter’s SAT score as part of a nationwide college admissions cheating scheme. US Attorney prosecutors are recommending that Huffman spend four months in federal prison and pay a $20,000 fine.

Felicity Huffman admitted to paying $15,000 to help improve her daughter’s SAT score, writing in a statement that she “accepts full responsibility” for her actions and “will accept the consequences.”

Felicity Huffman and Devin Sloane are sworn in for their plea colloquies. Judge Talwani notes she seldom does multiple guilty pleas at once, but is doing so in this case due to the large number of defendants.

Judge Talwani accepts the waivers of indictment. Neither Huffman nor Sloane has been indicted by a grand jury in this case. Instead, they are charged by what’s styled a criminal information … used when a suspect intends to plead guilty.

Felicity Huffman worked with Rick Singer to use Mark Riddell to correct her daughter’s SAT, the teen received a 1420. Huffman wrote Singer “Ruh ro” ala Scooby Doo, when her daughter’s high school wanted to proctor the SAT, but Singer was able to have the girl test elsewhere.

Judge Talwani: “Miss Huffman, do you have any dispute that you reached an agreement and ultimately paid Mr. Singer $15,000 to enable Mr. Riddell to correct your daughter’s SAT test?” Felicity Huffman: “No, your honor.”

Multiple lawsuits are filed for more than $500 billion accusing Yale, USC and more of letting students ‘waste’ money applying for elite schools when it’s actually rigged in the wake of college admissions cheating scandal

  • Two Stanford students, Erica Olsen and Kalea Woods, filed a $5 million class action suit on Wednesday
  • Parent Jennifer Kay Toy filed a separate $500 billion lawsuit saying her son was not admitted to some colleges because wealthy parents cheated and bribed 
  • The Stanford students said they never would have wasted their money applying for Yale or USC if they had known the schools were ‘rigged by fraud’ 
  • Both students claim their degrees have been devalued by the scandal because potential employers may question whether they were admitted on merit 
  • Third student linked to college admissions scam still attending Stanford, additional $500K in donations to sailing team found — While former Stanford University sailing coach John Vandemoer pleaded guilty to accepting $270,000 in bribes from a bogus charity to “recruit” two teens with little boating experience, the college said Thursday it has discovered the program took in another $500,000 in donations from the same nonprofit linked to a third student who still attends the school.
