RFK Jr on the Federal Reserve: "It operates on behalf of a few Wall Street banks, and its function is to act like a pump. It is literally strip-mining the wealth and equity away from the American middle class."
🚨🇺🇸 SEN WHITEHOUSE FUNNELED MILLIONS TO HIS WIFE’S NGO—NOW FACES ETHICS COMPLAINT
Must be nice: Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse voted for bills that sent $14.2 million in taxpayer money to Ocean Conservancy—a nonprofit that has paid his wife, Sandra Whitehouse, nearly $2.7 million through her consulting firm, Ocean Wonks LLC.
In 2024 alone, the group scored a $5.2 million NOAA grant and a $1.7 million EPA grant, both backed by Whitehouse’s votes.
Totally coincidental, right?
Watchdog groups call it a conflict of interest and have filed an ethics complaint, but Sen Whitehouse’s team dismissed it as a “dark money” smear campaign.
Funny how a guy who rails against “big money in politics” doesn’t seem to mind when it lands in his own household.

The great fortunes of this world were made making massive and innovative financial bets.
Rockefeller consolidated the oil industry in the 1872 "Cleveland Massacre" buying his competitors with stock in Standard oil and deferred payment plans. Within 13 years he had 90% of the entire industry.
Carnegie consolidated his steel empire vertically in the 1880s, aggressively buying coal fields, iron ore mines and railroads until he had 70% of the steel market.
Bezos raised 1.25 Billion in February 1999 in a massive convertible note. Altogether the company has raised 30 Billion, mainly in bonds to fund his complete domination of e-commerce.
Saylor is making a similar massive bet. It may sound crazy and dilutive, but there is no execution risk. If he gets the funding, the price of Bitcoin will go up, and TradFi will jump on board. The meme will create itself.
@chamath It is increasingly likely that AI will superset the intelligence of any single human by the end of 2025 and maybe all humans by 2027/2028.
Probability that AI exceeds the intelligence of all humans combined by 2030 is ~100%.
Warren Buffett compounded Berkshire's wealth by 3,787,464% over 58 years.
He did this through conviction and clear thinking.
Here are my 25 favorite Buffett quotes for investing and life:
What camp do you belong in?
Some say Bitcoin is very overbought
Others say Bitcoin has hardly peaked its head out of the cave and has a lot of room to run
What say you? Overbought (look about below) or just starting (look out above)?
Bitcoin ETF 33 billion in 10 months.
Gold ETF 32 billion in 20 years.
Bitcoin is far superior than gold. The flippening will happen faster than you think. When it does, BTC will be approximately $750,000 a coin.
@VigilantFox 🚨Dr. Peter McCullough : “The C*VID v*ccines have at least three mechanisms by which they could start a cancer, or they could promote an existing cancer, and it may occur more rapidly because tumor defense systems are taken down. That's what we call turbo cancer.”
