I told Euronews that Trump’s 24-hour peace plan was essentially a surrender. His new six-month timeline signals a shift toward pressuring Russia - still not ideal for Ukraine, but a major improvement. 1/
There are signs that this leverage is being built now, maybe in coordination between the Biden administrations “last-ditch” attempt to confiscate $300 billion Russian assets. 2/
It's signaling to Russia that we are going to try to find leverage over you. And if you want your money back, we're willing to haggle over it. 3/

Just as I have mentioned before, Inversions have happened since antiquity. There isn’t anything new under the sun, simply repeats of old.

The mummy of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and the mummy of his beloved, Queen Tiye stands as an extraordinary relic of ancient Egyptian royalty, dating back over 3300 years.Image

“Androgyny in Egyptian Antiquity*

Androgyny in ancient Egypt was a complex and nuanced aspect of their culture, often intertwined with religious and political beliefs. As described in ancient text, the god Atum was often depicted as androgynous, symbolizing the creative power of both male and female.

In Egyptian art, androgyny was also used to depict certain deities. For instance, the god Osiris was sometimes depicted with both male and female characteristics, symbolizing his role as a regenerative force in the afterlife.

The pharaoh Hatshepsut, is one of the most well known examples of androgyny in antiquity. She reigned during the 15th century BCE, coming to power after the death of her husband, Thutmose II. According to the teachings, Hatshepsut is interesting to historians due to how she was sculpted. In many of the relics left behind she appears androgynous, and in other cases distinctly male. As asserted by antiquarians, this was not an attempt to hide her femininity but rather to assert her divine right to rule as a pharaoh. In-turn we can assume Hatshepsut chose to portray herself as androgynous to show herself as a strong capable leader. The act may have also been politically motivated, an expression of gender identity or that it was a product of her religion.Image

Overall, androgyny in ancient Egypt was a multifaceted concept that reflected the complex interplay between male and female principles in the creation and maintenance of the universe.

As to any direct connections with EGI in the modern world and ancient Egypt —- I say yes, but not in a way to implicate a lifetime of wrong doings by the Egyptians and or their gods. I have deduced that the desecration of our true history and the demoralization of mankind, is due to the perversions perpetrated by evil spirits (descendants of the giants) that call earth their home as outlined in the Book of Enoch.

We know without a shadow of doubt that our real story had been altered and held at bay throughout time. However, today disclosure is knocking on the door of humanity, and the people are finally ready to take back their freedoms and live as God originally planned before the fall of the 200 angels, according to Enoch.

Three days until Donald Trump’s inauguration.

It’s not just that he does bad things. It’s also that he’s bad at being president.

He’ll start betraying his promise, and his oath of office, the minute he’s sworn in. 🧵

1. Want some fun news before the Monday inauguration that you won't have heard anywhere else? The antitrust enforcers (Lina Khan et al) went full Tony Montana on big business this week before Trump people took over. Here's just part of what they did. Image
2. The FTC filed a monopolization claim against agricultural machine maker John Deere for generating $6 billion by prohibiting farmers from being able to repair their own equipment, a suit which Wired magazine calls a “tipping point” for the right to repair movement. Image
3. They also released another report on pharmacy benefit managers, including that of UnitedHealth Group, showing that these companies inflated prices for specialty pharmaceuticals by more than $7 billion. Image

PART II: Implications of plasmid DNA fragments in blood products
Blind spots in the oversight of blood products, leaves the public in a dangerous state of speculation.
@Kevin_McKernan @Jikkyleaksblog.maryannedemasi.com/p/part-ii-impl…Image
Gene fragments encoding 'SV40' and 'Kanamycin,' which are specific to the plasmid DNA used in vaccine manufacturing of mRNA vaccines, have been identified in blood samples.

If these genetic sequences can persist in the bloodstream after vaccination, and potentially end up in blood products such as fresh frozen plasma, whole blood, or cryoprecipitate, what risks might they pose to recipients?"
Australian Red Cross says there is no evidence risk to a recipient. But it does not track the COVID-19 vaccination status of donors, nor has it tested for these genetic components of mRNA vaccines in donated blood. @RedCrossAU Image

The fire and forget millimeter wave (MMW) radar guidance AGM-114L "Hellfire Longbow" being referred in the War Zone post as "a new anti-drone armament" for the LCS actually ceased production in 2005 and reaches end of life in 2025.

1/
One of the reasons the AGM-114L was dropped from the US Army M-Shorad is the US Army didn't want to pay money to recertify the AGM-114L inventory...

...with the AGM-179 Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) equipped with dual-mode Semi-Active Laser (SAL) and millimeter wave (MMW) radar seeker just entering production.

🚨 BREAKING: Digital driving licences will roll out across UK phones next week and will be accepted for voting, domestic flights, and buying alcohol

Supermarkets are also set to integrate them with self-checkout systems, removing the need for staff approval Image
Follow for the very latest political news!

It will be announced by ministers next week in a “product launch” event in central London

The licence will show on a new app called gov.uk

Story: thetimes.com/article/cb6eca…
The licence will only be available in a virtual wallet in the Government app, instead of being added to existing Google or Apple wallets. One feature explored by developers allows users to toggle their address on and off on the licence, hiding it from bouncers at bars and clubs

In 1676, a century before cries of liberty echoed in the American Revolution, Virginia was rocked by Bacon’s Rebellion—a fiery uprising fueled by resentment, inequality, and frontier conflict.

Let’s dive into the uprising that shook colonial Virginia. 🧵🇺🇸 #AmRev Image
Virginia in the 1670s was a colony of stark contrasts. Wealthy planters controlled politics, while poor farmers, indentured servants, and enslaved people struggled to survive. Tensions simmered between the elite and the masses, setting the stage for rebellion. Image
On Virginia’s frontier, settlers clashed with Native tribes over land, but Governor Berkeley refused their calls for military action, prioritizing peace to protect lucrative trade. Image

1/ The theft of the post Volcker by the Central Bank and Fiscal "Shamans"

So, in a previous post, we discussed the question of the permanent LBO wealth gain that is typically great with a war condition. We argue that it was a transfer because someone is paying for it.
2/ Today we explain who is paying for it.

We have discussed the benefit of the war economy for the leveraged investors. And today, we have a Treasury secretary (Bessent the hedgie) who benefited handsomely from those policies. AND the #Fed’s Chairman comes from LBO!!!
3/ The quotes from the post are not coming from a “Twitter rando”; they come from an acclaimed monetary writer, H. Thornton, acclaimed by both the Keynesians and the Austrians AND the Fed itself, who sees this author as the father of modern central banking.

over a 36-hour livestream, I built a neutron-producing nuclear fusor in my kitchen using Claude.

successfully achieving nuclear fusion, entirely assisted by AI.

this was my first hardware project!—full story belowImage
Image
Image
a few months ago I built a demo fusor that produced plasma—this was nowhere near capable to *actually* do fusion.

I spent the last many weeks gathering parts on ebay, battling Canada post strikes and then speedrunning the assembly using Claude Projects in less than 2 days.
Image
building a fusor to do fusion is an order of magnitude more lethal.

the specs of this setup:
- 30kV/10mA electrostatic precipitator
- 3 mTorr of pressure (253,333x more vacuum than atmospheric)
- bubble counter to count neutrons
- hydrocar to electrolyze my own deuterium Image

🧵Washington's end of year use-it-or-lose-it approach encourages waste by binge-buying bureaucrats.

In Sept 2024, the Pentagon went on its largest spending spree since 2008 (reminder: in ‘08 America was fighting 2 wars).

What did they spend tax dollars on?

Glad you asked.👇 Image
Who needs a 5-star restaurant when you can dine at Bistro Le Taxpayer @DeptofDefense.

In September alone, it spent $6.1 million on lobster tail, $16.6 million on ribeye steak, $6.4 million on salmon, and $407,000 on Alaskan king crab!
Fear not, fine dining is not limited to the main course.

$117,787 was spent to deliver hot fresh donuts and another $113,230 was used to order ice cream 79 different times!
