The most metabolically ill country on Earth has a control group living right inside it, and the results are deeply inconvenient.

The Amish eat butter, lard, eggs, meat, and raw milk straight from their own cows, by the bucket. They cook in animal fat. They eat the saturated fat the rest of us were told to fear for fifty years. Their obesity rate sits around 4%. The country around them is closing on 40%, four in ten adults. Ten times lower, on the diet that was supposed to be killing them.

They are not dropping from heart attacks at the rate the theory demands either. Their overall cancer rates run lower than the surrounding American population, despite skipping most of the screening that is meant to be saving everyone else.

Now, honesty, because it matters. The Amish are not low-carb. There are pies and bread and plenty of sugar on an Amish table. This is no clean carnivore case, and I will not pretend it is.

What it is, is a controlled experiment sitting in plain sight across Pennsylvania and Ohio. Same country. Same supermarkets down the road. The Amish simply opt out of two things: the ultra-processed food and the sitting still. Their men walk upward of 18,000 steps a day. They eat food their grandmothers would recognise, and they move like their lives depend on it, because for most of history they did.

The animal fat was never what made America sick. The seed oil, the sugar, the packet, and the sofa did that, and the Amish skipped all four. They ran the experiment by accident, by living in the same country as everyone else and politely declining to join in.

CENTRAL BANKS HOARDING GOLD LIKE IT’S 1971 AGAIN

According to BofA, we’re now in the longest gold-buying spree by central banks in modern history.

They're stacking tons while telling the rest of us “inflation’s under control” and “trust the system.”

Gold prices are soaring, and so is the central bank panic meter.

When the people who print the money start buying gold, maybe it’s time to ask why.

I was the lead market maker at Jump.

I'm no longer under NDA so I can say this,

Typically when you see down moves during the weekends like this, it is pure market manipulation.

It was one of the tactics I invented during the low volume moments.

We would load up and pay attention to Crypto Twitter as a source of sentiment, with specific accounts organized in specific categories.

One thing I used to like doing was purposely "nuking" a new 4H candle on BTC and/or ETH, which was an easy trap.

"Smart" traders know we'll eventually revisit those wickless candles, so it was good bait for me to set with eager buyers stepping in and the candle continuing lower.

They end up capitulating before we reverse.

Bottom shorters get comfortable here too.

Anyway, I can't give away too much but just know,

Most of thos "bad" price action you're seeing is a group of "whales" sitting in a chatroom together and merely oil painting on charts.

My alias in Jump was "Vincent van Gogh."

And that isn't because I lost my mind [well - that too],

But because I painted some of the best looking bear traps.

I know an influenced painter copying my work when I see one.

Stay safe.

Retar Dio.

BlackRock is in.. no fee posted but they did report seeding with $10m (altho I think that may have been known already in prev filing). Anyway that's basically a wrap. Ball in SEC's court now.

White House Statement of Administration Policy on FIT21 vs. the SAP other day (which had explicit veto threat), a HUGE course correction.

What happened between then & now? Trump endorsed crypto, Dem allies called the WH, and 700,000 crypto voters made their voices heard. 🚀
