JFK's secret mistress, Mary Pinchot Meyer, was murdered 11 months after he was. He first danced with her in high school at a prom in 1935. He was completely in love with her and they had at least 30 trysts during his short stint as president.

He wrote her a love letter in October 1963, begging her to come see him in Boston. It was never delivered, and it's not known if they met up. It sold recently for $89,000:

"Why don’t you leave suburbia for once—come and see me—either here—or at the Cape next week or in Boston the 19th. I know it is unwise, irrational, and that you may hate it—on the other hand, you may not—and I will love it. You say that it is good for me not to get what I want. After all of these years—you should give me a more loving answer than that. Why don’t you just say yes."

Mary initially had communist sympathies and was once upon a time under FBI surveillance when she was a member of the American Labor Party. It was all very odd, too, as she was married to a high-level CIA officer named Cord Meyer, whom she later divorced.

Mary was obsessed with world peace & nuclear disarmament—which was one of JFK's major goals—to eliminate the threat of a nuclear arms race & global holocaust. JFK & Mary would smoke marijuana, have sex, and talk for long hours in the White House about real substantive issues when Jackie wasn't around. It's said that he valued her opinion above all other women. In 1983, in a dubious tale, Timothy Leary claimed they also did LSD, which he supplied.

White House counsel Myer Feldman recalled frequently seeing Mary in the Oval Office or presidential residence. According to Feldman, Kennedy did not routinely send her away when official business was discussed, as he sometimes did with other social visitors. Feldman believed Kennedy’s admiration for her was obvious and even considered using Mary as an informal conduit when he needed to get something before the president, since he took her so seriously.

Mary & JFK carried on throughout the entirety of JFK's covert battle with israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion over israel's illicit nuclear program.

In January 1963, at a meeting of national newspaper publishers, Washington Post owner Phil Graham spilled the beans about the secret affair. Graham was a close friend of both, but had a drinking problem and would occasionally run his mouth. All 3 were members of an informal group of elites & insiders known as the "Georgetown Set." CIA Counterintel Chief & head of the israel desk James Angleton was also a member of this group and was the godfather to Mary's children.

Several months after his outburst, in August 1963, Phil Graham was himself "neutralized" in what was murder by staged-suicide, IMO. He allegedly rigged a shotgun to shoot himself in the head, but then fall into the bathtub so as to not leave a mess. Lol. Lmao.

His jewish wife Katharine Meyer Graham then took over the WaPo. Her father Eugene Meyer had been head of the Federal Reserve and president of the World Bank. Phil had been stepping out on her and was preparing to leave her for a mistress of his own. The death took care of that looming divorce. (Adherents to the "Charlie was going to divorce Erika" theory will recognize the obvious parallel)

Suffice it to say that Phil was connected and in-the-know. He was also close friends with Lyndon Johnson. I imagine he would have been a problematic factor if he'd still been around to give the JFK assassination a proper investigation. He of have been to KFK as Candace Owens is to Charlie Kirk.

Did Phil refuse to play ball? Or did the conspirators fear he wouldn't? Did they fear his loose mouth? Did they remove him beforehand, just in case? And then ensure the paper was secured by organized jewry in preparation for the cover-up?

One of Phil Graham's famous quotes is printed on the wall inside the entrance to the israel Government Press Office in Jerusalem as an homage to him: "Journalism is the first rough draft of history." They always tattle on themselves, don't they?

Back to Mary Pinchot.

She kept a secret diary.

About one year after JFK had left that love letter for her, on October 12, 1964—while on an afternoon walk—she was Seth-Rich'd: 2 shots to the back within a few inches, the gun possibly touching her. The first was to the back of her head. The second was through her back that ruptured her aorta and she bled out.

The "culprit" was never caught.

The evening she was killed, CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton—the traitor who helped sell out JFK & who facilitated the transfer of our nuclear technology to israel—broke into her studio looking for the diary.

He eventually obtained it and either burned it, or burned some pages & returned it, or never returned it at all. There are so many conflicting accounts that the truth can't be definitively discerned.

Of course, the CIA actually has a full catalog of the entire contents of the 40 secret vaults Angleton left behind. But they've never disclosed that information. So maybe her diary still exists somewhere in the dark corners of the CIA, and along with it the motive behind her ass*ssination.

The crime was never solved. A 2017 FOIA request revealed that the FBI burned some of her files in 1988, and still others somehow evaporated into thin air around 1994 when the were supposed to have been transferred from the FBI to the National Archives under the 1992 JFK Records Act.

Is anyone surprised?

Did Mary know about the fight JFK was embroiled in with Ben Gurion? Did she know about israel's illicit nuclear program? Was someone worried that she did? It wouldn't be until 1995 that documentary evidence was released verifying that JFK was fighting with Ben Gurion, and it wasn't until 2019 that all the letters between them and other records were finally made public.

What did Mary know? I think we can infer she knew something about israel's nuclear program, or they were afraid she did. And because they're the likely perps behind the other assassinations close to her, they're at the top of my suspects list for her—which reveals the motive.

Our nation's government is deeply cooked and corrupted. Charlie Kirk didn't stand a chance. Will Tyler Robinson? Will we break the back of this stifling cabal, or will we be sentenced to another generation of Assassination Nationalism?

What's it going to be, America?

Except that you'd need to be a student of math to get the initial functions - normal trig for some, Aramaic to others.

This guy bought a $400 Mac mini and walked into a coffee shop with $2,100 for installing an AI agent that never touches the internet.

I had to rewatch this because the pitch is almost too simple. He shows up, plugs in the Mac mini, installs a local AI agent running entirely through Ollama, done in under an hour. Zero cloud dependency, no API bills, no monthly charges bleeding the client dry. The coffee shop owner gets a private AI system that keeps working even if the WiFi dies, and he walks out with $2,100 for an install that takes less time than a long lunch.

The hardware cost him $400. One deployment and the machine's already paid for five times over. Then he locks in a monthly retainer for support, somewhere around $100-150, which means every client after the first is close to pure margin stacking on top of recurring revenue.

Most people hear "AI business" and think they need to build a SaaS platform or learn to code or raise funding from someone. This skips all of that and goes straight to walking into coffee shops with a Mac mini under one arm.

Not a company that scales to a billion dollars, obviously, but a solo operator clearing a few thousand a month from local installs while everyone else is still arguing about which LLM is best on Twitter.

💡 Quick Linux Tip #66

A large file is taking time to copy, and you want to see its progress.

Run:

pv source_file > destination_file

For example:

pv ~/ubuntu-26.04-desktop-amd64.iso > /media/ravi/ubuntu-26.04-desktop-amd64.iso

This copies the file while displaying a live progress bar in the terminal.

You can replace `ubuntu-26.04-desktop-amd64.iso` with any large file, for example:

Perfect for monitoring long-running file copies, backups, and large file transfers.

Euler's formula is not a formula. An MIT professor spent a whole lecture proving it is a definition, not a discovery.

This is 18.03, Lecture 6, Arthur Mattuck. Free on MIT OpenCourseWare.

The formula is e^(iθ) = cos θ + i sin θ. Most people memorize it and move on. Mattuck refused to.

He asked one thing. What gives that the right to be called an exponential at all? An exponential has to obey one law: e^a · e^b = e^(a+b).

So he checked it. He multiplied e^(iθ₁) by e^(iθ₂), expanded the sines and cosines, and looked at what fell out.

The angle-addition identities. cos(A+B) and sin(A+B), the two formulas you were forced to memorize in school.

They were never two formulas. They are one line: e^(iθ) obeying the law of exponents.

Then the payoff. An integral that normally needs integration by parts twice and a trick, ∫ e^(-x) cos x dx, drops out in a few lines once you let the numbers go complex. Nothing is easier to integrate than an exponential.

Someone once asked him what beauty in math looks like. He pointed at the board.

Something long became something short, and lost nothing.

During apartheid, some landlords refused to lease space to Shoprite and Pep stores because of the demographics and LSM we were serving.

They called our stores "k***ir stores", claiming our stores lowered the status of their malls and retail centres.

Lower prices are often perceived, they're not always real.

That's why I changed Shoprite's colours to red and yellow.

Red attracts shoppers. Yellow signals specials, deals and affordability.

People flock to Shoprite because they believe they'll get a bargain.

I always tell our store and floor designers: keep Pep and Shoprite looking accessible.

Don't use fancy lighting or wooden floors. The moment a store looks too sophisticated, customers perceive it as expensive.
