🚨 A nurse in Queens earning $75,000 a year loses more than $1,000 of her pay to taxes EVERY MONTH.

That's over $12,000 a year that could have covered her rent and groceries. Gone.

Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men alive, says the bottom 50% of American earners should pay ZERO federal income tax.

His question for Washington:
"Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75,000 a year paying more than $1,000 a month in taxes?"

His math:
The bottom half of earners pay just 3% of all federal income taxes.
The top 1% pay about 40%.

"I don't think it should be 3%. I think it should be zero."

"We can find 3%."

His fix: stop collecting it from more than 76 million households. Entirely.

"We shouldn't be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington. They should be sending her an apology."

Bezos says he will push this idea with political leaders.

If this idea ever reaches a vote in Congress, I'll post it here first. Follow me so you don't miss it.

昨天，我在这里发帖提到了 $MIHAO。

当时我告诉大家，它在中国正迅速走红，理应获得更高的估值。

但连我自己也没想到，它今天的市值竟然达到了 2500 万美元。

我当初仅花了 5000 美元，就买入了其总供应量的 2%。

���今，这笔持仓的价值已超过 40 万美元。

这正是为什么我一直强调，即便是在熊市中，也要保持高度专注（LOCK IN）。

当市场沉寂时，你更容易在其他人察觉之前，抢先发现机会。

在这个市场上，赚钱的机会永远存在。

关键在于你要保持关注，并紧跟对的人。

IRAN NOW BRANDS FORCES OF THE US, CANADA, BRITAIN, THE EU AND ARGENTINA AS TERRORISTS.

Iran has officially declared Argentina's NAVY and AIR FORCE "terrorist organizations." Britain's navy and air force got the same label 10 days ago.

A formal Foreign Ministry statement has been issued citing Iran's 2019 reciprocity law -- holding Buenos Aires responsible for "all consequences arising from this matter." Tehran did not say what they are.

What this means:

▪️ This is not a protest note. This is a PAYBACK BLACKLIST for Argentina listing the IRGC in April, after a Trump administration push.
▪️ Every unit across Argentina's navy and air force now has Iran's terror label. The army is not even mentioned
▪️ US forces. Canada's navy. Europe's armies. All blacklisted under one label.
▪️ The law it cites applies to the ENTIRE group of "countries that in any way follow or support the US decision" on the IRGC

This changes everything.

A protest note can be ignored.
A terror label on a navy cannot.

We just entered the most dangerous stage of this conflict. If you're not paying attention - start now.

Iran keeps adding names to this list. Share this so more people see it, and follow me for the next one.

CNN ASKED AN INCOMING CONGRESSMAN FIVE TIMES IF IRAN IS AN ADVERSARY. HE NEVER SAID YES. HERE IS THE TIMELINE.

This is not what you're being told.

On Tuesday, New Jersey Rep.-elect Adam Hamawy went on CNN, and anchor Pamela Brown pressed him, seemingly in disbelief.

He said: "We're making adversaries when we should be making friends."

THAT SAME WEEK:

Iran's threats have ALREADY pushed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent out of his home, onto a military base (New York Times).

Iran's top security official announced there are NO talks with Washington, and told the US it's "time to surrender" to seven conditions.

Tehran has denied plotting attacks on US soil. But a late-October US intel memo says its lethal plots against Americans hit "advanced stages."

Iran says the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen until its conditions are met.

Iran attacked tankers in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz this month.

The US struck Iran's Qeshm island, Iranian state media said.

France summoned Iran's envoy over a supermarket fridge hack and warned of a response.

That's a war more than eight months old.

On top of thousands killed and millions displaced since February 28.

Here's what nobody is telling you:

The US spent those months fighting Iran.

Iran responded by becoming the reason a US Treasury Secretary now lives on a military base.

That's not a future friend. That's the adversary he would not name.

Most outlets stopped at the clip. I post the whole war around it, so follow me.

SoftBank fixed all 10,500 security holes it found. then OpenAI's top AI looked again and found 35,000 more

in the last 5 months there have been over 45,000 security holes found in SoftBank's own systems. not in a decade. not in a year. in 5 months

any ONE of these would normally be the biggest story of the year

700 systems: built by SoftBank itself, scanned by AI in june. 10,500 holes found. every one patched over about 3 months

GPT-6 Astra: OpenAI's top model checked them again. 35,000 new holes. more than 3 times the first count

IDC Frontier: SoftBank's own cloud company, hit by ransomware about a month ago. 7 minutes from alarm to damage

495 customers: companies and local governments hit by that one attack. their servers stopped and would not restart

open source: the door the attackers used. public code nobody scanned. the CEO ordered it checked early. teams put it off

the scouting: attackers now probe SoftBank's systems 600 to 700 million times a month. double last year

attack AI: models built for hacking showed up in may and june. open versions anyone can download came out in july. new ones every week

and that's not even half the list

attackers are using AI now. attacks surged after july. too fast for human hands alone

SoftBank's CEO Junichi Miyakawa is saying every new AI model finds holes the last one missed. next week's model could find more. his words at yesterday's earnings briefing: "honestly, we're completely exhausted"

if your company runs its own software, open-source code, or cloud servers you are potentially affected

scan the open-source parts too. patch every hole you find. scan again with every new model. cut the connection first, ask questions after

this is not a normal year on the internet. this is something different

SoftBank is still patching the 35,000. follow so you see the next count first

[Taegun Lee @TGLetter]

US military planes are rushing out of a British airbase. Nobody has said why.

RAF Mildenhall, England. A MASSIVE dispersal, all day today:

→ KC-135 tankers took off one after another for bases in Germany and Scotland
→ CV-22 Ospreys moved to RAF Lakenheath, 6 miles away
→ More planes are starting up and taxiing out RIGHT NOW

The people tracking the base say it does NOT look like an exercise.

Today RAF Lakenheath also asked staff and locals to report any unknown drones around the bases.

And this is not the first British base on edge.

6 weeks ago, 5 men drove 3 vans of petrol to RAF Fairford. Then they were told one van held a BOMB. Britain's prime minister said it was likely run from Iran. The US pulled its bombers out.

Now Mildenhall is scattering its planes.

What is going on?

The official story will come later, cleaned up. If you want it raw while it happens, follow me.

🚨 HACKERS ARE COOKING THE WORLD'S FREEZERS. AI STOCKS CRASHED. VOTERS ARE LOCKING DOWN AI.

All inside 7 days.

THE FOOD:

Japan's government put out an official alert a few hours ago. Hackers are going after freezers, fridges and the systems that watch the cold chain.

Every company that runs this gear, AND every contractor that maintains it, is urged to act IMMEDIATELY.

Because Europe already got hit:

→ About 700 supermarkets, plus blood storage sites, had their cooling taken over from far away
→ An estimated 250 to 350 stores in France in October alone
→ 115+ stores in 6 countries this month, some systems pushed to 50°C
→ France's blood service: temperature settings changed at 3 sites that store blood
→ 5 US agencies, FBI included, warned last week: every org that relies on cold storage should assume it could be a target

Japan's own list of what can go wrong: food and medicine thrown out in bulk, fires from overheating heaters, cooling gas leaks, and fake screens that show "normal" while it all spoils.

THE CRASH:

→ Nasdaq -5.5% on Thursday. Worst day in 19 months
→ Dow down about 1,800 points the same day
→ $NVDA -9.2%. Broadcom -10%
→ Japan's Nikkei -5.96% the next day

It hit amid signs AI faces tougher rules after the midterms.

THE LOCKDOWN:

→ Voters passed 44 ballot measures to restrict data centers on election day
→ Bernie Sanders now wants a NATIONAL moratorium on AI data centers

And the AI bubble is no longer a tech problem. Bloomberg says the selloff showed how deep AI now sits in pensions and debt markets.

Your food. Your savings. The AI boom itself.

All hitting at once.

The next freezer wave or AI selloff lands here first. Follow me now, not the day after it hits.

[Taegun Lee @TGLetter]

Why would North Korea's hackers put Japan second on their hit list?

A chat Nippon TV just obtained answers it.

"The result we need is money."

The messages are believed to be between two North Korean hackers. They are mostly in Korean and start on October 22. One line sets the targets:

"The first patch is ready. Priority regions are America, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, South Chosun."

🇺🇸 🇯🇵 🇹🇭 🇮🇩 🇰🇷

South Chosun is the North's own name for South Korea.

BEFORE: in 2024, North Korean hackers stole about 48.2 billion yen in crypto from Japan's DMM Bitcoin.

NOW: the chat lists their computers scanning for PHP flaws. They are also pulling settings files from systems in South Korea, Japan and America. "Some of it looks useful."

NEXT: they want AI to do the first analysis, pick the targets and find the weak spots.

So who pays for it?

The FBI says North Korea was behind the $6.3 billion Binance heist, the biggest crypto theft on record.

Japan is already bleeding. NTT Docomo says up to about 300,000 customer records leaked. Muji's operator says about 345,000 valid credit card numbers may have leaked. Nobody has confirmed a North Korea link to those leaks yet.

Nippon TV aired this chat in Japanese. Follow me for every new line of it in English.

IRAN'S AIR DEFENCE ON THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS BEING TAKEN APART, ONE NIGHT AT A TIME. HERE IS THE TIMELINE.

This is not what you're being told.

On Friday night, Trump stood in front of reporters in West Palm Beach.

He said: "We do minor strikes, but they built a little bit of an anti-aircraft device and we knocked it out in about 15 minutes, maybe five."

THAT SAME WEEK:

November 2, Qeshm Island: the IRGC fired a surface-to-air missile at a US aircraft. A US fighter jet took out the launcher.

The next day, Trump said of that site: "We watched it get built. As soon as it was completed—we hit it."

2 more Iranian launchers were hit on Larak Island.

November 6: US strikes hit the air defences on Qeshm again. The FIRST US attack since the midterms.

Saturday: Iranian state TV reported explosions on Qeshm, in Sirik, in Jask and in Bandar Abbas. Qeshm for the second day in a row.

Iran's IRGC announced it shot down ANOTHER US MQ-9 drone over Qeshm.

Initial reports claim Iran went to Code 100, its HIGHEST alert, and spread its forces across the south.

In the Gulf of Oman, US forces fired on and disabled a ship that tried to break the blockade on Iran.

Many people read it as routine payback. Hit and leave.

It is a HUNT. Every night, cheap US decoy drones, not expensive fighter jets, fly at the coast. Iran's radar crews get 2 choices.

Radar ON and fire: US spy planes record the site's position, its frequency, its blind spots and the crew's reaction time.

Radar OFF: the drone flies straight through, and guided bombs can follow.

Switch on and you are exposed. Stay off and you are blind.

Every hidden site that fires at a decoy gives itself away. Every expensive interceptor it uses is one LESS in Iran's stock. The launcher is found within minutes. Then it gets hit.

Draw a line through the strike points: Qeshm, Larak, Sirik, Jask. All on the throat of Hormuz.

Qeshm and Larak sit over the narrowest shipping lane in the strait. Sirik and Jask push Iran's radar and anti-ship missile reach into the Gulf of Oman.

That's 20% of all the world's oil supply in peacetime, through one strait.

On top of the IRGC shore missiles that can hit the ships passing through it.

Here's what nobody is telling you:

The IRGC spent years building early-warning radars, surface-to-air missiles and mobile anti-ship launchers along this coast. Every tanker in the strait and every US jet above it sat in its sights.

The US responded by becoming the hunter: cheap drones, a growing target list and one fewer air defence node every night. Its carriers and refuelling planes move freely at sea. The IRGC stays on edge all night.

That's not a minor strike. That's a campaign: SEAD and DEAD, suppress the air defences, then destroy them.

Clear the coast, and the corridor opens for fighters, B-2 stealth bombers and cruise missiles to reach ballistic missile plants, command centres and nuclear sites deep inside Iran.

Nothing proves an order for a big strike exists. Stripping the coast also works as a warning on its own.

The midterms are over. More US jets and warships keep flowing into the region.

The outer armour is coming off. If the big one starts, the door inland is already open a crack.

If the strikes go inland, late followers will have missed the whole setup. Follow me now.

[Taegun Lee @TGLetter]

$3 million.

That's the price tag on a working exploit for the PHP hole under 69% of all websites.. and the seller claims it even works on the PATCHED versions..

> the US cyber agency CISA put both PHP holes on its "known exploited" list on October 26.. it's official.. attackers are using them for real..

> hackers chained it with a Linux kernel bug and took ROOT on 25 Palo Alto Networks systems.. 24 firewalls and 1 management server in the US, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea..

> from there they dug a persistent tunnel into a US government-affiliated network and harvested directory-service credentials..

> the worst part.. the bug was first spotted in a 2024 PHP security audit.. the fix stalled and restarted again and again..

> GitLab's 10.0 hole.. more than 11,300 servers still haven't patched it.. nearly 30% of all the GitLab servers visible online..

> Cloudflare's CEO just told investors these PHP holes "had been in the wild for years".. then said "I wish I could tell you we were through the worst, but we're not."

the hole that was supposed to hit websites is now opening firewalls..

if the patch might not be enough, what's actually standing between your server and a $3 million exploit?

https://t.co/jjrwQA3mXs

[Taegun Lee @TGLetter]

🚨 Do you understand what happened in the last 48 hours..

> PHP, the code behind 69% of all websites, got 2 holes rated 9.2 out of 10, and the US, the UK and Japan told site owners to patch or go OFFLINE.. 4 days after hackers had already started trying the flaw..

> Japan's Prime Minister posted the request late at night.. the Finance and Health ministries pulled pages, MUFG Bank and JR West went into emergency maintenance, and Onamae shut ALL Desktop Cloud plans after malware hit up to 26,739 customer servers..

> India's eMudhra was caught with 8 intermediate certificate keys so weak one of them was literally the number 4.. the 60,000,000+ certificates it has issued can't be trusted..

> GitLab disclosed a 10.0 severity hole in every version since 2014.. the maximum score there is..

> criminals were caught using a literal AI hacking tool on 1,200+ sites.. it broke into more than 100 companies including John Deere and Cummins..

> LiteLLM, an AI tool with about 23,000,000 downloads a week, was secretly poisoned with a password stealer.. the bad version sat on PyPI for about 2 hours..

> State Bank of India, the country's biggest bank, confirmed 3,897 customer records on the dark web..

> WIRED now calls the PHP flaw "broadly exploited".. nearly 55,000,000 web properties still run PHP..

every single government on this list told PHP site owners the same thing within the last 48 hours.. patch it or take it offline..

all of this.. 48 hours..

if you're not following me you're finding out about this 48 hours late from someone who read my post..

it's only getting crazier from here..

🚨 For the first time since 2022, Russia's OWN count of its war dead is out in the open.

Hackers just made the most significant data leak of this war: classified files from Rosstat, Russia's statistics agency, on Russian soldiers killed.

Here's the damage so far:

THE TOTAL: 450,100 military deaths registered by late August 2026. Around 100k per year.

THE PROOF: 356,056 death records carry one code. Y36, "operations of war".

THE REGIONS: all 8 federal districts. The Volga alone was home to 21.7% of the dead.

THE FRONT: 54.9% died in Donetsk. Then Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kursk and Kherson.

THE PACE: new records arrive 1.26 times faster than a year ago. The hackers' 2026 forecast: 206,322 if the last six months' pace holds.

NOT COUNTED: the missing, the wounded and foreign fighters. The real toll is far HIGHER.

The total is in line with other independent estimates. Moscow never said it out loud.

Over 4 years of official secrecy just cracked open. Not in months. Not in weeks. In one leak.

The hackers say they took 23 terabytes from Rosstat. I'll keep posting what comes out of those files. Follow me.

[Taegun Lee @TGLetter]

JASK. SIRIK. BANDAR ABBAS. QESHM. EXPLOSIONS ON SOUTHERN IRAN'S COAST TONIGHT. CAUSE UNCLEAR, SAYS IRANIAN STATE TV.

This is not what you're being told.

A day earlier, Trump went on the record about new strikes on Iran's air defenses.

He said: "We are talking to Iran. We have been."

THAT SAME WEEK:

Monday night, US strikes hit Qeshm Island. CENTCOM called them "defensive."

Iran's deputy foreign minister answered: "We are still in a state of war."

Iranian media released reports claiming FIVE oil tankers and a tugboat caught fire after hitting mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump called Friday's strike "minor." But Iranian state media reported two explosions on Qeshm.

A sailor on the Greek-owned tanker Velos Sapphire was killed in an apparent missile attack.

CENTCOM then offered up to $20 million for information on Iran's nuclear program.

The IRGC announced two MORE oil tankers on fire in the strait.

Iran says 7 tankers have ALREADY caught fire in the strait this week.

That's a strait that normally carries about 20% of all global oil use.

On top of the US blockade already sitting on Iran's ports.

Here's what nobody is telling you:

Washington spent the week calling every strike "minor" and "defensive."

Iran's coast responded by becoming the front line again. Three rounds of explosions in six days.

That's not minor. That's a war that never ended.

Most outlets will file tonight under "cause unclear" and move on. Follow me if you want it unfiltered.

[Taegun Lee @TGLetter]

🚨 IRAN JUST SCRAPPED ITS 2,000 KM MISSILE LIMIT AND THREATENS INTERCONTINENTAL STRIKES.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard has officially declared NO RANGE LIMIT on its missiles.

A formal answer has been issued citing the 2,000 km cap -- "That restriction has been lifted for us." Iran will "demonstrate these capabilities in practice."

What this means:

▪️ This is not a tweak. This is a NO-LIMITS THREAT.
▪️ For years the cap was kept to reassure Europe it would not be targeted
▪️ Europe. Diego Garcia. Everything past 2,000 km. All outside the old promise under one sentence.
▪️ US officials say Iran's space program tech can be repurposed to build INTERCONTINENTAL ballistic missiles

This changes everything.

A missile with a 2,000 km cap can be negotiated.
A missile with no cap cannot.

We just entered the most dangerous phase of this war. If you're not paying attention - start now.

Follow me for Tehran's words before anyone softens them.

[Taegun Lee @TGLetter]

🚨 Since July: a US Navy blockade on every ship going in or out of Iran's ports.
Result: Iran was kept from exporting over $25 billion of crude oil.
Today: the US went after Iran's LAND borders too.

CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper just ordered TASK FORCE IRON GATE: about 20 civilian and military staff in Tampa, working with other US agencies.

The target: advanced weapons, dual-use technology, sanctioned materials and illegal revenue moving across Iran's 7 land borders and the Caspian Sea.

Here are the doors Iran has left:

🇹🇷 Turkey: thousands of trucks stranded at the crossing, waits of up to 20 days (US Treasury)
🇵🇰 Pakistan: hundreds of trucks waiting, some crossings shut
🇮🇶 Iraq: some crossings shut
🇦🇫 Afghanistan: bottlenecks at the border
🇹🇲 Turkmenistan: the train route to China, with Iran's 3 rail companies now under US SANCTIONS
🇦🇿 Azerbaijan: all Iranian airlines banned, all flights to Iran canceled
🇦🇲 Armenia: the old rail route to Russia still out of use
🌊 Caspian Sea: the water route north, now on Iron Gate's map

Put it together.

The sea door is shut. Over $25 billion of oil blocked.
Now the land doors are on the US list too.
And inside Iran, yearly inflation hit about 90% in September.

"The establishment of Task Force Iron Gate reinforces the success of our ironclad blockade against Iran at sea," Cooper said.

This could become the tightest squeeze on Iran of this whole war.

We will post each new Iron Gate step here once it is confirmed. Follow for updates and share this with anyone watching oil.
