‼️🛑I honestly hate to say it, but Thomas Massie is literally putting his life on the line. And I actually believe he knows this quite well.

It makes his stance even more heroic.

His decision to commemorate the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty on its 59th Anniversary, after having been defeated by Jewish money in Congress, is the single most courageous move I have ever seen a sitting American politician make during my lifetime.

It's a stuck up middle finger against 'Israel' and all it stands for, for the following reasons:

💥 the deliberate murder of American servicemen in plain sight by the Israeli air force is solidly proven, which means that the Ziønist influencers have zero arguments to present to counter it;

💥 he is doing it without this being in any way 'necessary', or 'called for', as 58 anniversaries have already passed unnoticed and unmentioned;

💥 he will have actual survivors from the attack present, which is a feature one can thing bring nothing up against;

💥 the effect of this act of insurgency is bound to create powerful ripples on social media, even if mass media try to ignore or downplay it.

Many liberals on the Democrat side will remain silent. Most of those are on the 'has the right to exist and defend itself' boat anyway. Which, I should take another opportunity to say, is utterly fucked up anyway.

Some of them will nevertheless get a powerful wake-up call, and realize that standing up against oppression takes precedence and priority over ideological differences in this time frame.

The main effect however, will take place on the Republican side. For most Republicans, the army is sacrosanct. Many of them have never heard of the USS Liberty tragedy. Many will truly be shaken to the core.

All I can do is pray for Thomas Massie.

And here is what I would say to him if I could see him face to face: "Massie, this is the courageous act of a real man, a true patriot, and a genuine revolutionary. You are a Lion among men. May God be with you."

@Bennett_Method @mtgreenee I have family that vote republican and go to Mexico for dental care and surgeries.

@briebriejoy @mtgreenee Would love to see a left-right coalition campaign on this issue. Could form a working class party around this, anti war, and Epstein transparency.

Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov on nuclear weapons:

Gaddafi gave up his nuclear program — and he was mocked and killed on live television to the delight of Hillary Clinton, who literally applauded in front of the screen.

North Korea simply concluded that without nuclear weapons, they would be wiped off the face of the earth.

They are acting on this choice — and no one touches them.

With Iran, all of this started because Iran had supposedly been promoting international terrorism for 47 years. It very quickly became clear that the reason was once again oil.

The Americans proposed that they and Iran control the Strait of Hormuz 50/50. It's all about oil again — all about the world's energy markets.

Your "representatives" just represented someone else.

84% of you don't want us to continue to transfer weapons to Israel without new restrictions.

Congress just voted to do it anyway.

Yesterday, the House Armed Services Committee voted on whether to strip Section 224 from the 2027 NDAA. Section 224 would formally merge U.S. and Israeli military technology, weapons development, AI, and defense supply chains. That is more integration than we have with any NATO ally. In case you didn't know, Israel is not part of NATO. This makes it federal law. No more congressional oversight. No more debate. Forever. Regardless of what they do.

Every member of the committee voted to keep it. Every member except two.

Ro Khanna. Sara Jacobs. Both from California. Both Democrats.

Every other Democrat voted with the Republicans to advance this.

This is what empires look like while they are dying. A voice vote. In the open. In front of everyone. In your face.

They don't think you're watching, and they think you won't do anything about it. And you probably won't.

One last thing: if you vote to keep your current representative in the House or Senate, who just voted against your wishes and locked you and your children into a forever conflict in the Middle East, You are the problem, not them.

Jimmy Dore on Thomas Massie’s loss: “We obviously don’t have democracy.”

“It’s an oligarchy.”

“Which is why we have homelessness everywhere.”

“You go bankrupt when you get sick.”

“We go bankrupt just to get educated.”

“And we live in a surveillance state.”

“We’re like China, except we have more street crime and slower trains.”

“How dare we preach democracy around the world and that the people in China are oppressed when we obviously don’t have democracy here?”

“They did that Princeton study in 2015 about how 90% of people, their wishes never are expressed in legislation.”

“It’s only the top 10% of the wealthy people.”

“Your vote literally doesn’t matter.”

RO KHANNA: “Let me be clear, Netanyahu is the one that actually told members of congress to add section 224 (merging the U.S. and Israeli militaries) into the bill.”

Khanna says the quiet part out loud. Our elected officials are subservient to a foreign nation. We are Occupied.

NVIDIA IS BUYING ITS OWN CHIPS AND CALLING IT REVENUE

And your retirement account is secretly holding the bag.

This scheme is literally straight out of the Enron playbook...

In January 2026, a special purpose vehicle called Valor Compute Infrastructure was created with one purpose:

Buy Nvidia's chips so Nvidia could book the sale as revenue.

Valor raised $5.4 billion and purchased over 100,000 of Nvidia's GB200 GPUs.

But $1.9 billion of that money came FROM Nvidia itself.

Nvidia invested $1.9 billion into the shell company, then sold that same shell company $5.4 billion worth of its own chips and booked every dollar as revenue.

It's the Girl Scout whose dad bought all the cookies and then she wins the sales contest because Dad was the customer. Except this Girl Scout is a trillion-dollar company and the cookie sale is $5.4 billion.

But it gets MUCH worse:

The remaining $3.5 billion in financing came from Apollo Global Management. Apollo structured the debt, packaged it into securities, and then sold those securities to Athene.

And guess who Athene is? Apollo's OWN insurance subsidiary. The one that sells fixed annuities to American retirees as safe, conservative retirement products.

Follow the chain:

Nvidia funds a shell company with $1.9 billion. The shell company buys $5.4 billion in Nvidia chips. Apollo finances the remaining $3.5 billion. Apollo sells the debt to its own insurance arm. That insurance arm packages it into annuity products and sells them to retirees who think they're buying something safe.

The retirees have no idea that their retirement savings are now backed by 100,000 computer chips sitting in some data center that will be worth pennies on the dollar in three years.

Now look at what's happening inside Athene:

$74.2 billion in US reserves but $217 billion in assets have been shifted to a Bermuda-based captive insurer, outside normal US regulatory oversight.

$103 billion of that portfolio (roughly 35%) is classified as Level 3 assets. That means there is no observable market price.

These assets are valued by internal models, not by actual markets.

And sitting on top of all those unpriced assets? 16.6x leverage.

If you're getting flashbacks to 2008, you should be.

Back then it was mortgages bundled into securities that nobody understood, sold to investors who had no idea what they were holding, rated as safe by agencies that never looked under the hood.

Today it's GPU-backed securities. Computer chips bundled into structured credit instruments, routed through an offshore insurance subsidiary, and sold to you as a retirement product.

The collateral is 100,000 GPUs leased to a single customer through an xAI subsidiary. If xAI stops making lease payments for any reason - financial distress, a pivot in strategy, anything - the entire structure unravels.

And Nvidia releases new architectures every year, so each generation delivers dramatically more compute per watt. A 5 year lease on technology that's obsolete in 2 years creates a mismatch that should terrify every annuity holder in America.

Every single step in this chain is technically legal. The SPV is legal, the lease is legal, Nvidia's equity stake is legal, the securitization is legal, and the Bermuda transfer is legal.

But legality and legitimacy are not the same thing.

I've seen every trick Wall Street has ever pulled in my 45 years of doing this.

And what I'm looking at right now is a pipeline that takes AI infrastructure risk, launders it through 8 layers of financial engineering, and deposits it in the retirement accounts of Americans who never agreed to fund Elon Musk's data centers.

In 2008 it was mortgage-backed securities.

In 2026 it's GPU-backed securities.

Different asset. Same greed. With the same ending.

We’re in final stage of capitalism where global capital can’t expand or sustain past profits. It’s now consuming public institutions and key systems, sacrificing democracy, welfare, infrastructure, education, healthcare, and ecosystems for short-term gain.

@TheTNHoller Enough with the baby talk. Daddy isn't in the room. This woman and her "husband" are the epitome of evil. Everything is a grift and a con.

ALBANIA — Seems like it should be a bigger deal that Ivanka Trump & Kushner’s luxury resort project is being massively protested, with the people demanding the PM’s resignation and firebombing homes over the corruption of their project partners.🤷🏼

The Trump grift is endless.
