There’s a new report from the European Commission 🇪🇺, and as much as it pains me to say it, it confirms everything I’ve been telling you

Basically they want every member state to implement:

❌ Higher wealth taxes
❌ Double the inheritance tax
❌ Exit taxes on the way out
❌ Tighter crypto controls

The EU is assembling one centralized, socialist machine. Every member state used to have its own culture, its own way of thinking, its own way of life. That’s being flattened into one system

Any self-respecting entrepreneur needs to leave Europe. The window is closing, and if you’ve built any kind of wealth, you can’t afford to sleep on this

Don’t be the one trying to climb the wall after it’s already too high

As of last night, new bitcoins are 10.09% easier to mine as the network programmatically adjusted difficulty at block 953,568, marking the 11th-largest automatic decreased change in history.

🚨 The EU is tightening the leash on your wallet.

Starting July 2027, the EU’s new AMLR regulation destroys financial privacy under the guise of "fighting crime." It's total state control over your spending.

❌ Hard Cash Cap: Outlaws commercial cash payments over €10k.
👀 Show Your Papers: Spend just €3k in cash? You're legally forced to hand over your ID.
🕵️‍♂️ Guilty Until Proven Innocent: Transfer over €10k for a car? Businesses must vet you like a bank and demand proof of where your wealth came from.

Businesses are being weaponised into state surveillance checkers.

All while honest citizens are treated like criminals by default.

There is nothing worse than the EU! 🤮

This is biblical.

A woman in her eighties. Ten years into Alzheimer's. Hadn't spoken a full sentence in five years.

Takes one, 5 gram dose of psilocybin.

She slept 19 hours and woke up and spoke for hours about her life, recognized family and held real conversations. She regained bladder control after five years, walked on her own. and dressed herself. Gains held for weeks.

🚨🇩🇪 DEUTSCHE BITCOINER, EURE HILFE WIRD GEBRAUCHT.

Die einjährige Haltefrist, Deutschlands steuerfreie Halteperiode für Bitcoin, steht unter direktem Angriff. Fällt sie weg, wird langfristiges Sparen in Bitcoin bestraft und Deutschland wird zu einem der schlechtesten Orte in Europa, um Bitcoin zu halten.

Die Petition wurde beim Bundestag eingereicht und wird voraussichtlich um den 14. Juni live gehen. Sie braucht 30.000 Unterschriften, um eine öffentliche Anhörung auszulösen.

Du kannst dich jetzt vorbereiten: Erstelle dein Bundestag-Konto, damit du sofort unterschreiben kannst, sobald sie startet.

Believe it or not a form of this government robbery already exists in Ireland 🇮🇪. We already have a highly controversial, specific tax on unrealised gains.

This existing mechanism is known as the Deemed Disposal regime.
Under Irish tax law, if you invest in retail funds, like Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) or certain life assurance products, you are subject to an automatic tax on your unrealized gains every 8 years.

Even if you do not sell your ETF, on the 8th anniversary of buying it, the law pretends (deems) that you sold it. If the investment grew in value, you are hit with a heavy tax on those "paper" profits.

The Rate: Following changes in Budget 2026, this exit tax rate is 38% (reduced slightly from its previous high of 41%).

Forcing people to pay tax on money they haven't actually cashed out forces investors to either liquidate part of their portfolio or keep large sums of cash on hand, killing the power of compound interest. How long before this policy extends to everything you own, making it impossible by default to own anything of value.

You will literally own nothing, as they say, but probably won't be happy about it.

🚨 BREAKING: France’s Digital ID System Hacked—Sensitive Data of 19 Million Citizens Now Sold on the Dark Web

France’s centralized digital identity platform, operated by France Titres (formerly ANTS), suffered a major breach on April 15, 2026.

Hackers stole records affecting roughly one-third of the French population and started auctioning them on dark web forums.

The exposed database contains:

• Full names

• Email addresses and phone numbers

• Dates and places of birth

• Postal addresses

• Unique government account IDs

This information gives criminals powerful tools for identity theft, phishing campaigns, synthetic identities, and large-scale financial fraud.

The system manages passports, national ID cards, driver’s licenses, residency permits, and vehicle registrations.

Officials confirmed no biometric photos or uploaded documents were taken, but the core personal data is now circulating.

Hackers operating under aliases like “breach3d” and “ExtaseHunters” posted the massive dump soon after the intrusion.

French authorities acknowledged the security incident and are notifying affected individuals, though the sheer scale makes rapid alerts challenging.

France has seen multiple major government data breaches recently, including student records via ÉduConnect, bank account details, and medical information.

Centralized systems handling vast amounts of linked personal data create high-value targets that attract persistent attackers.

Action steps if you’re in France or have connections there:

• Closely monitor all financial and government accounts

• Strengthen 2FA on every service

• Stay alert for phishing attempts impersonating official agencies

• Consider credit monitoring or freezes where available

French authorities detained a 15-year-old suspect on April 25 in connection with the breach.

The teenager is believed to have operated under the alias “breach3d” and offered between 12 and 18 million records for sale on hacking forums.

Prosecutors in Paris have opened a formal investigation into the minor on computer crime charges.

The full story is still unfolding as more details emerge about how the breach occurred and the exact scope of the exposure.

This incident highlights the profound dangers of centralized digital ID systems.

When governments consolidate citizens’ most sensitive personal information into single, internet-connected databases, they create massive single points of failure.

One successful hack can expose millions instantly, turning everyday personal details into weapons for widespread fraud and surveillance.

As nations push for broader digital ID adoption, this breach serves as a stark reminder that convenience and control come at the steep price of heightened vulnerability for entire populations.

A guy used Claude to recover 5 BITCOIN from a locked wallet 11 years after forgetting his password.

He gave Claude access to his old computer and the Ai found the password which cracked open the wallet that was locked for 11 years.

The European Commission just published a study on how to tax you more without making you angry enough to leave

Not a draft law. It's a research paper, but that's how every major EU policy gets shaped

Usual timeline? 2-5 years from paper to policy

TLDR: higher taxes

SUPPLY SHOCK INCOMING 🚀

[International Cyber Digest @IntCyberDigest]

🚨🇪🇺 The European Commission is about to steal your search history in one of the largest forced data grabs in the history of the open internet, and almost nobody is talking about it.

The scope is staggering:
🔴 Every query you type
🔴 Every voice and photo search
🔴 Every autocomplete you accept
🔴 Your language, your device
🔴 Your country pinned to a ~3km² grid
🔴 Every result you saw, every link you hovered
🔴 Every click and scroll
🔴 The full chronological order of your search sessions

Meaning the European Union now knows your:
🔴 Health symptoms
🔴 Pregnancy
🔴 Sexual orientation
🔴 Political views
🔴 Religious beliefs
🔴 Financial distress
🔴 Legal trouble
🔴 Addictions
🔴 Affairs

Under the proposed measures for DMA Article 6(11), Google would be ordered to ship the daily search behaviour of hundreds of millions of Europeans to multiple third parties through a daily API feed. Any approved "online search engine," AI chatbots included, would get five years of access.

The things people only ever type when they think no one is watching. All of it now scheduled to flow daily into an open-ended list of third parties scattered across the European Union.

Brussels promises "anonymisation." The reality is a thin technical veneer that has been broken in academic literature again and again for over a decade. Search behaviour is a fingerprint. Stripping a name does not change that.

Mass data leaks become inevitable. Every new beneficiary is a new attack surface, and every annual audit is a year of silent exposure between checks. The 2025 Discord vendor breach already showed how fast 70,000 government IDs can leak through a single weak link. Now imagine that link holding Europe's search history.

Surveillance without consent becomes the default. Hundreds of millions of EU citizens never agreed to have their queries packaged and shipped to companies they have never heard of. The legal fiction of "anonymisation" cannot manufacture consent that was never given.

Behavioural search data is a goldmine for phishing, blackmail, social engineering, and corporate espionage.

Foreign intelligence services get a back door without effort. They do not need to breach Google. They only need to compromise the weakest name on the beneficiary list. One insolvent startup. One compromised contractor. One approved entity quietly acquired by a hostile state.

In the name of "competition," the EU is about to manufacture a permanent, distributed, daily-refreshed copy of Europe's collective search history. A surveillance dataset Brussels itself would never approve if any other government tried to build it.

The public consultation closes Friday, May 1, 2026 at 23:59 CEST. The final binding decision lands July 27, 2026.

After that, the door does not close again.

Tag your MEPs! File a response! Make noise!

🚨 Claude just got EXPOSED for sneaky spyware!

Anthropic secretly installs spyware when you install Claude Desktop.

• Installing Claude Desktop may silently add hidden system components
• A “native messaging bridge” gets injected into multiple browsers
• Even browsers you don’t use or that aren’t supported
• Pre-authorizes extensions that can run in the background

• Users are NOT clearly informed about this
• Raises serious privacy & security concerns

Critics say this looks like “spyware-like behavior,” not normal software

If true, this is a massive trust issue for Anthropic
