Normies can't help but to focus on money's role as a medium of exchange.

We live in a Consumption-based society after all.

But what most fail to grok (or acknowledge) is that the core feature of Money--and all of Finance, really--actually revolves around Purchasing Power.

IMPORTANT: The Creation and Control of money are the proverbial Keys to the Kingdom.

Whoever Creates and Controls money also has the ultimate say regarding the Purchasing Power of its Users (or Participants).

When the State Creates and Controls your money, they get to decide how much--if any--of your Purchasing Power they will confiscate over time.

And...

Since the ability to confiscate (aka, "steal") our Purchasing Power via the Creation and Control of money is nearly irresistible, the State chooses this option... every time.

Always. Without fail.

Until the State grows so large relative to its underlying People's waning Purchasing Power, that the State fails.

This has happened time and again throughout recorded history.

And it's happening again.

Right now. Across the Modern World.

But especially in Europe, the United States, and Japan.

These countries have accumulated so much debt--that is, they have borrowed, taxed, inflated, stolen, and spent their countrymen's Purchasing Power--and have grown so large, that their citizens' Purchasing Power is no longer able to sustain their grotesque girth.

Bitcoin--for the first time in recorded history--changes this dynamic.

It puts the Creation and Control of money directly and irrevocably into the hands of the People.

This means that the People get to remain in charge of their Purchasing Power--not the Aristocrats--for the first time in recorded history.

This is why it is Critical to keep the Bitcoin Network Decentralized and Secure... well away from those who would like to manipulate it to regain and restore the Creation and Control of your Purchasing Power.

Bitcoin is truly Better Money for a Better World, because it is Of the People, By the People, For the People.

This is a Once in a Species opportunity for lowly, hard-working, honest, regular people... so let's not blow it.

That is all.

Cheers.

The Washington Post editorial board accuses me of a conflict of interest that might bias me against Big Pharma, whose interests they apparently seek to protect. The alleged conflict comes from money I supposedly made from a settlement in a lawsuit against Merck for injuries caused by its Gardasil vaccine. The problem is that I never received a penny from the Merck Gardasil settlement, and neither has my son nor anyone else in my family.

Before taking office, I relinquished any interest in potential Gardasil fees back to the Wisner Baum law firm, which publicly confirmed this during my confirmation process. Yet @SenWarren, @Reuters, and @washingtonpost editorial board — in their ardor to protect Big Pharma — continue to push a false narrative that makes Big Pharma the victim and me the mendacious villain. They should correct the record — and spend more time examining the real conflicts that have long disabled the regulatory function of my Department, all of which I am now deconstructing.

I’m firing corrupt regulators and dismissing the panels formerly populated by heavily conflicted “experts.” We are dismantling the mechanisms of corporate capture that made this agency the sock puppet for the industry it was supposed to regulate. Why are Reuters, Warren, and WaPo inventing lies to besmirch the first @HHSgov Secretary in modern history to stand up to industry?

While filming SEINFELD's "The Marine Biologist" episode, the writers felt the ending didn't work, and last minute realized they could connect Kramer's storyline of hitting golf balls into the ocean and George's storyline of attempting to save a beached whale. At 2AM, they wrote Jason Alexander's speech that would close out the episode, and handed it to him the following morning, thirty minutes before the scene would have to be taped. Alexander said "No problem", quickly memorized the dialogue, and nailed the scene in one take 🔥 it's still absolutely insane he never won an Emmy for playing George Costanza

Anthony Fauci didn’t just kill people.

He also killed at least 200,000 small businesses.

Sick.

Something is at war with us, “us” being regular citizens who want things to work and to be left alone. We’re slow to react because we think in terms of nations. Our enemies are mafias that wear our governments like a cloak to defeat our eyes, and fly our flags to disarm our minds

🇺🇸 California Governor Gavin Newsom dropped the diaper contract Friday night.

That's the classic move. Reporters have clocked off, nobody's watching, and the story dies over the weekend.

The $6.2 million deal went to Baby2Baby, a nonprofit whose CEO sits on the board of a charity started by Newsom's wife.

State records say it was non-competitively bid, so nobody else got to make an offer or undercut the price. It's already been extended by another $12.5 million.

Where the cash goes: $3.89 million on diapers, $750,000 shipping, $610,000 warehousing, $917,000 on 12 employees.

Republicans are asking why the state needs a middleman at all when California or the hospitals could just buy the diapers themselves.

Watchdogs want a full audit of how Baby2Baby got picked.

RFK Jr. reveals what HHS found when they went looking for the 375,000 migrant kids Biden lost.

"It's a huge, huge tragedy."

"One guy pretended to be the parent of 42 children. We have no idea what happened to those kids."

"We're now finding them. We found about 137,000 of them, but a lot of them you just can't find. There was about 60 kids who were sent to one address. When we looked at that address, it was a container, a steel container in the middle of a parking lot."

"A lot of them were sent to work at slaughterhouses and picking fruits in the fields. They were slaves."

"So we stopped that. Now everybody who comes in has to validate the relationship. We DNA test them to make sure they're related to that kid. Nobody gets a kid unless we know that is the kid's parent or relative."

"It's a huge, huge tragedy. My agency [under Biden] was the single biggest child trafficker in the world."

To make clear how critical this right is, think about it this way: if you cannot go to school, get a job, enter public spaces, or utilize public transportation or commercial airlines if you refuse a medical procedure the government requires, then you basically have no rights. You become a prisoner in your own home, unable to get an education, earn a living, or participate in civil society. That is why the right to choose whether to get a medical procedure, without any coercion, is a fundamental right.

As the US approaches the 250th, it’s important you know the history of how the Constitutional Republic has been changed over time. 👇

[Aaron Siri @AaronSiriSG]

Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision reflects that the capture of government by big industry is nearly complete. It affirmed the right of chemical companies to injure, maim, and even kill you and your children with their pesticides, herbicides, etc., with near complete impunity.

This means you can expect increasingly toxic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides, etc., because the more toxic they are, the better they will kill weeds, pests, etc. And farmers that then use the most effective products, no matter how harmful to humans, will have a competitive advantage. The result will be that the farmer who adopts the most effective products (meaning most toxic) will have the largest crop yield. Other farmers, to compete, will then also be forced to adopt the more harmful product. With that, the race to the bottom has begun.

I expect that in the coming decades we will look back and wish to return to the “safer days” of glyphosate. So, bottom line: your government has abandoned you and your children. Think about this decision: 7 out of 9 Supreme Court judges sided with the chemical company against the public, and Trump’s DOJ intervened in the case on the side of the chemical company. Anyone who thinks this administration cares about you over industry profit is, at this point, delusional.

Shame on the DOJ, shame on the Trump admin, and shame on the Supreme Court for letting chemical companies get away with injuring, maiming, and killing Americans with their products instead of just allowing normal market forces to protect us and our children. Now, in addition to vaccines, we can add pesticides, etc., to the list of products that can injure and kill with near complete immunity.

Below is the decision and, in a nutshell, it holds that failure to warn claims brought under state law (which is the primary type of claim one would bring for harms from a pesticide, herbicide, etc.) are preempted by the EPA-approved label such that, if the harm is not on the label, your claim loses (since EPA didn’t add it to the label as a harm), and if the harm is on the label, your claim loses (since it has been disclosed on the label). Meaning heads or tail they win, and you and your children lose.

In July 1985, over a billion people watched Live Aid.

Months earlier, Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie had written "We Are the World." All of it was a response to a famine in Ethiopia.

Almost nobody remembers who actually caused the famine. 🧵

Let’s get this trending.

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

WOAH 🚨 California Rep Carl DeMaio says California Democrats are creating legislation to control Apple Maps and Google Maps to dictate the commute you take

The bill is ‘AB 2015’ and “The politicians want to pass a bill, I can't even believe that they're trying to do this to regulate and manipulate Apple Maps, Google Maps, or whatever software you use to plot out your commute. What business is it of government what route you take?

Well, a lot of them are saying that they need to protect the environment. What it means is that your commute's going to take longer.

Literally, they're going to probably tell your map software, well, make sure we 'Fight climate change, so let's add 30 minutes to the commute.' This is absurd”

What this bill really does is it lets cities and governments tell these navigation companies there are designated “slow streets”

The fan demand these areas are “walking or biking zones” and they can’t route cars through

The risk is with this power in the future they can designate areas as high pollution zones and stop people from being navigated anywhere they want

This is something that must not pass

🚨 MIDNIGHT TAX INCREASES!

In the dead of night, California legislators passed massive new taxes on insurance, digital software, and employee payroll taxes.

Don’t let anyone fool you this isn’t the federal government’s fault. The math isn’t mathing.

California just passed a $355 billion record budget with record revenue. Yet my colleagues still blame the President.

For context: The state budget was around $170 billion just 10 years ago. Now it’s more than doubled and life in California doesn’t feel any easier.

Sacramento has an insatiable appetite for your hard-earned money. If you’re not paying attention, they will keep taking more.

This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America.

A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact.

It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy:

56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases.

More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide.

343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information.

That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison.

The AI identified 752 active "Triple Signals" in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once:

The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry.

Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate.

Now look at the individual leaderboard:

- Nancy Pelosi's estimated portfolio sits at $194 million with a Greediness score of 98.1 out of 100
- Ro Khanna made 13,231 trades across 800+ different tickers
- Michael McCaul made 32,302 trades and filed 6,670 of them late
- Thomas Suozzi filed 86.4% of his trades late with an average delay of 396 days, meaning his disclosures landed over a YEAR after he made the trade

And then there is Lisa McClain, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House. She has made 1,443 trades in three years, more than 98% of all politicians tracked.

She violated the STOCK Act twice in a single year, disclosing up to $900,000 in trades months after the legal deadline. Her husband bought up to $250,000 in Elon Musk's xAI, which quietly converted into SpaceX equity before last Friday's $2 trillion IPO.

The penalty for all of this? A $200 fine.

The number of Congress members ever prosecuted under the STOCK Act since it passed in 2012? Zero.

And the cruelest part is this:

A bill to ban congressional stock trading was introduced in January 2026. It has bipartisan support. Over 80% of American voters want it passed.

But Congress is sitting on it, because the people who would have to vote yes are the same people making millions from the system staying exactly the way it is.

They write the insider trading laws, they exempt themselves from enforcement, they trade on the information those laws generate, and when they get caught, they pay a fine that is basically nothing.

The AI didn't discover anything Congress was hiding. It just organized what was already public into a pattern so obvious that nobody can pretend it isn't there anymore.
