Our President is literally screaming out to the world that he is gay.
Trump probably deeply resented having to hide his sexuality, so he took his anger out on young women & girls.
Just like Andrew Tate & Maga incels.
About those nano bubblers. I noticed when they had the temporary ones turned on the other day there was movement across the surface of the pool. And I noticed nothing reflects when this happens. They’ll have to turn them off to take promo pics but when folks arrive … uh oh
Q: "Can you say whether you will hold anyone in your administration accountable for the strike on a school that killed more than 100 children on the first day of the war?"
Trump: "No…It's such a strange question to be asked at this date. You're talking about a long time ago."'
John D. Rockefeller called her “that poisonous woman.”
He had reason to fear her.
Because Ida Tarbell did something almost nobody had successfully done before:
She documented, piece by piece, how the richest corporation in America quietly built its empire by crushing everyone beneath it.
And she did it so carefully that even Standard Oil could not truly deny what she found.
Ida Tarbell did not approach the story as a detached outsider.
She grew up inside the Pennsylvania oil fields during the violent early years of the American petroleum boom. Her father, Franklin Tarbell, was one of thousands of independent oil producers trying to survive while Standard Oil steadily swallowed the industry.
At first, small oilmen believed competition would decide who survived.
Then Rockefeller changed the rules.
Standard Oil secretly negotiated railroad rebates that gave the company enormous shipping discounts unavailable to smaller competitors. Worse still, the railroads often charged independents extra fees and quietly funneled portions of those payments back to Standard Oil itself.
The result was devastating.
Independent producers could not compete with prices artificially manipulated against them.
Businesses collapsed.
Towns declined.
Families lost everything.
Tarbell watched it happen as a child.
Her father barely survived financially.
One of his business partners eventually killed himself under the crushing pressure surrounding the industry.
Ida never forgot any of it.
But instead of reacting with public fury, she became something far more dangerous:
A meticulous journalist.
By the time she joined McClure’s Magazine at the turn of the twentieth century, investigative reporting was beginning to transform American journalism. Tarbell believed the most powerful stories were not built from outrage alone, but from evidence so overwhelming nobody could dismantle it afterward.
So she began investigating Standard Oil.
And she worked like an accountant assembling a criminal case.
Court filings.
Railroad contracts.
Internal company memoranda.
Corporate records.
Testimony from former executives.
Government documents.
Thousands upon thousands of pages copied by hand because modern research tools did not yet exist.
She traveled constantly between Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Washington gathering material.
Then came one of the strangest parts of the entire story.
Henry Rogers — one of Standard Oil’s top executives and one of the most powerful businessmen in America — agreed to speak with her repeatedly over the course of nearly two years.
He genuinely seemed to believe he could manage her.
Charm her.
Control the narrative.
Perhaps he assumed a woman journalist would eventually soften the conclusions.
Instead, Tarbell simply kept gathering facts.
Then in November 1902, McClure’s began publishing The History of the Standard Oil Company.
Nineteen installments.
Running through May 1904.
The writing itself was not explosive in tone.
That was the brilliance of it.
Tarbell did not rant.
Did not exaggerate.
Did not perform outrage.
She simply laid out, calmly and methodically, how Standard Oil used predatory pricing, secret transportation deals, intimidation, and systematic market control to destroy competitors across the oil industry.
Readers were horrified precisely because the prose sounded so controlled.
The evidence spoke for itself.
And the impact was enormous.
Public anger toward monopolies suddenly crystallized into political momentum. President Theodore Roosevelt — already moving against powerful corporate trusts — drew heavily upon the climate Tarbell helped create.
Then came 1911.
The United States Supreme Court ruled in Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey v. United States that the company violated the Sherman Antitrust Act and ordered it broken apart into 34 separate companies.
Those fragments later became corporations like ExxonMobil, Chevron, Marathon, and ConocoPhillips — companies still among the most powerful in the world today.
And Rockefeller himself?
He publicly refused to engage with Tarbell.
“Not a word,” he reportedly instructed his associates. “Not a word about that misguided woman.”
He understood something important:
Arguing with her only gave her findings more oxygen.
Because nobody could truly disprove the documents.
So critics attacked her personally instead.
They called her bitter.
Vindictive.
Difficult.
Emotional.
Almost never inaccurate.
That distinction mattered.
Ida Tarbell spent the rest of her career carrying a strange reputation:
Deeply respected.
Rarely embraced.
She wrote sixteen more books and became one of the most influential journalists of her generation. Yet in private letters, she sometimes admitted feeling that admiration did not always translate into belonging.
Perhaps because she had exposed something many powerful people preferred to keep hidden:
How quietly enormous systems can be built through manipulation that looks almost invisible while it is happening.
And maybe that is why Ida Tarbell still matters more than a century later.
Because she proved journalism does not always require dramatic speeches or public theatrics.
Sometimes the most dangerous thing in the world is simply a patient person with enough evidence.
She did not write to be liked.
She wrote so the record would exist.
And once it existed, even Rockefeller could not erase it.
Hey maga, has it sunk in yet that your pedo god king started a war to distract from his pedophilia that he just lost and now you are going to pay a bunch of Muslims that you hate and say are incompitable with the west 100s of billions of dollars after they killed 13 of our country men and destroyed all our bases in the middle east that we spent two decades and 100s of billions of dollars building?
Just curious.
A secret society of the world’s elites co-founded by spyware billionaire Peter Thiel has been exposed by hacktivists.
Dialog is a private, invitation-only network, co-founded in 2006 by Palantir chairman Thiel and data entrepreneur Auren Hoffman.
The organisation holds off-the-record summits for powerful figures from the worlds of politics, finance, military, celebrity and tech.
Frequently compared to the Bilderberg Group and World Economic Forum, Dialog has spent two decades refusing to disclose the identity of its members and has a private website.
However, a directory in the website’s code was revealed by Swiss hacktivist maia arson crimew, who previously leaked the US government’s no-fly list and hacked surveillance-camera company Verkada, WIRED reported.
The directory included “participant profiles” for those planning to attend the group’s summits, featuring contact information, facts about themselves - and even if they were “looking for love” at Dialog events.
Profiles included Texas senator Ted Cruz, US treasury secretary Scott Bessent, chief economist at Israel’s finance ministry of Shmuel Abramzon, and a number of Google and Google DeepMind execs.
Other names from the world of entertainment include Hollywood actors Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Josh Brolin, podcast host and author Sam Harris, and tech entrepreneur and longevity obsessive Bryan Johnson, Straight Arrow News reported.
In many cases it isn’t known if those named are full members, conference participants or merely guests of the organisation.
WIRED reported that a separate source revealed details of an upcoming Dialog retreat at a venue outside Dublin, Ireland.
The retreat, due to be held 12-16 August this year, is set to host NATO’s top US commander Alexus Grynkewich, as well as multiple officials from the Trump administration, two US senators, a former Middle East chief of intelligence, and a sitting ambassador to the United States.
Also present will be six members of the so-called “Paypal Mafia”, and a number of those running the US’s most prominent surveillance and data firms.
The conference is set to feature sessions titled “Navigating WWIII”, “Battlefield Technologies”, “Money (Does?) Buy Happiness”, “Bring Back Nuclear” and “Build-a-Cult”, the latter of which will be moderated by the founder of the Christian networking site https://t.co/nbjzqZ95gS.
