🚨 THE US REGULATORY SYSTEM JUST BROKE

In 48 hours, SpaceX goes public at $1.77 TRILLION - the biggest IPO ever

I've been trading for over a decade, and I have never seen them rewrite the rulebook like this

Nasdaq, MSCI, and the biggest brokers in America all bent their own rules for ONE private company

That doesn't happen by accident

Let me show you exactly what they did:

First, Fidelity dropped its minimum account size from $500,000 to $2,000

A 99.6% cut

Think about that:

The most exclusive door on Wall Street, thrown wide open to millions of small investors - days before the biggest debut in history.

Ask yourself one question

Why do they suddenly want YOU in?

Because somebody needs people to sell to.

SpaceX reserved 30% of the deal for retail

THREE TIMES the normal share

And even then, most people didn't get a full allocation.

So to grab more at Thursday's open, they're dumping everything else TODAY to raise cash.

That's half of the selling you're seeing.

The other half? The smart money front-running July.

Here's the trick:

SpaceX doesn't join the Nasdaq 100 on day one.

It joins 15 days later, because Nasdaq cut its own waiting period from 3 months to 15 days

Just for this.

The moment it joins, every QQQ fund on Earth is FORCED to buy.

$22–27 billion in automatic buying.

Translation: imagine 50 buses all forced to pull into the same gas station on the same morning.

The funds know the stampede is coming.

So they're selling now to free up cash for it. Retail selling. Institutions selling. At the exact same time.

THAT is your selloff.

Now here's the part nobody will say out loud:

When the most connected money on the planet builds a $1.7T exit door and hands the keys to the smallest investors in the market…

That's NOT generosity

That's distribution at the top.

We've seen this movie twice:

➮ 2000 Dotcom
➮ 2021 SPAC mania

Insiders cash out at insane valuations while the crowd chases the hype.

The math ain't mathing.

So you've got two choices in the next 48 hours:

Chase the most expensive IPO in history at the open…

Or read the prospectus and realize you might BE the exit.

The next few days will be INSANE, but don't worry - I'll break down every move as it happens, like I always do.

Like it or not, I called every major top and bottom of the last decade publicly. I'll call this one too.

Many people are going to wish they followed me before June 12, 2026.

Soon, you'll understand why.

Por la salud de la democracia española, y porque el periodismo no es una profesión colegiada, debe conocerse públicamente quiénes son esos "61 periodistas habituales" de Leire Díez. Conviene saber dónde trabajan, si han sido colocados en medios públicos, cuánto han percibido de tertulias, asesorías o contratos públicos, qué papel desempeñaron y si participaron, consciente o inconscientemente, en campañas dirigidas a desacreditar a jueces, guardias civiles, fiscales o periodistas. La transparencia debe exigirse a quienes convirtieron el periodismo en una cloaca.

A courageous British woman has broken the silence and exposed the inhumane treatment of white rape victims by both Pakistani gangs and the UK political establishment:

“I was drugged, locked in flats, chained, and repeatedly raped over a five-year period from the age of 13 by Pakistani rape gangs. Labour is not interested when it’s normal working-class people.”

This is the horrific reality that Britain’s ruling class tried to bury for decades.

Thousands of vulnerable white British girls were systematically groomed, drugged, trafficked, and gang-raped by Pakistani Muslim gangs across Rotherham, Rochdale, Oxford, Telford, and many other towns.

The authorities, police, and politicians knew but did nothing or actively covered it up to protect their narrative of “diversity” and “multiculturalism.”

They sacrificed British children on the altar of political correctness and Muslim votes. They feared being called “racist” more than allowing industrial-scale child rape.

This is two-tier Britain at its most evil.

[Rawan Osman روان عثمان @RawaneOsmane]

I grew up in a Hezbollah stronghold in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley. Israel was not a country in my education. It was a crime. A wound kept open on purpose. Every funeral, every slogan, every sermon pointed in the same direction: there, across the border, is the source of your suffering. Believe it. Repeat it. Pass it on.

I believed it. I repeated it. For years.

Then I moved to France. And I met Jews.

Not the abstraction. Not the enemy. People. Neighbors. Colleagues. And the collision between what I had been taught and what I was seeing in front of me was so violent — so intellectually embarrassing — that I had no honest choice but to start over. To read. To ask. To dismantle, brick by brick, everything I had been given as truth.

What I found on the other side of that dismantling was not just the absence of hatred. It was something I had not expected: admiration.

Let me be precise about what I am defending and what I am not.

I am not defending every Israeli policy. I am not defending any government unconditionally. I am not asking anyone to check their critical faculties at the door.

I am defending what Israel is. What it represents. What it has built, against every conceivable pressure, in a region that has largely failed its own people.

Israel is a democracy in a neighborhood of autocracies. It is a state governed by law in a region where law is routinely weaponized against citizens. It is a country where Arabs sit in parliament, where women lead, where dissent is not a death sentence. It is imperfect — as every democracy is — but it is genuinely, structurally different from everything surrounding it.

That difference is not incidental. It is the point.

The so-called Palestinian cause, as it is prosecuted today, is not a national liberation movement. I say this not to dismiss Palestinian suffering; suffering is real, and real people pay its price. I say it because the infrastructure of the “cause” — its funders, its ideologues, its loudest champions — has never been interested in Palestinian statehood. It has been interested in Jewish elimination.

Look at who built the movement’s international architecture. Look at the 1997 Tehran OIC summit, where the language of “apartheid” was first systematically attached to Israel, not by Palestinians, but by the Iranian regime, for export. Look at Durban. Look at who profits when the conflict continues and who loses when it resolves. The answer is never the Palestinian family in Gaza. The answer is always the regime, the militia, the ideological infrastructure that needs the wound open.

The Palestinian cause, as it functions on the world stage today, is a tool of an anti-western civilizational project. Its goal is not a state alongside Israel. Its goal is a world without Israel, and, by extension, a world where the values Israel represents are defeated. Liberal democracy. Jewish self-determination. The idea that a small people can survive, build, and insist on their own dignity against the will of those who would erase them.

When western progressives march under that banner, they are not marching for freedom. They are marching for the annihilation of the only thing in the Middle East that resembles what they claim to value.

I came to Judaism slowly, the way you come to something true, not in a rush, but in accumulation.

It was not the politics that moved me first. It was the texts. The insistence, running through thousands of years of Jewish thought, that the human being is created in the image of G-d, and that this is not a metaphor but an obligation. An obligation to see the other. To argue. To question. To hold power accountable, including your own.

I had grown up in a culture where the highest virtue was submission. To the leader, the militia, the narrative. Judaism confronted me with the opposite proposition…

Spain left something in Bosnia that does not appear in GDP charts.
In the 1990s, Spanish troops served in Bosnia during one of Europe’s darkest wars since 1945.
For many people there, Spain was not just another distant country.
It was soldiers on the ground, humanitarian convoys, protection, bridges, medical help and a European flag that actually meant something.
That kind of memory survives.
Sometimes soft power is not built with marketing campaigns.
Sometimes it is built when your country shows up when others are bleeding.

Within hours of being announced as the nominee to be the U.S. Director of the CIA, I received a hand-delivered message on MI6 stationery congratulating me on my nomination. It was signed simply "C" in green ink. Legendary. I shared it with my son and even he thought I was now cool!

More than that, this note, from Sir Alex Younger, Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service of the United Kingdom, confirmed what I already believed: the work that the CIA and MI6 did together mattered, that the partnership was critical, and that two leaders focused on the mission could save lives and provide tools for our nations to deter our adversaries.

Alex's passing this week brought back so many memories of our time in service together. He flew to Langley to see me the day I was confirmed. We brought our two senior teams together in the UK to plan and coordinate and build in the first several weeks of my time on duty: making clear to them all that this relationship was more than special - it was critical for the security of our two countries.

Alex was a remarkable intelligence partner. When we needed help, it wasn't "let me see;" it was "this matters to you and America we'll get it done." And he and his team always did. I think he knew we would do the same for him and his team and his nation. Many Americans are alive today because of his leadership of MI6, I never knew how to thank him enough.

Alex became a friend as well. In the years since we both left office we would see each other from time to time. He was always so kind, so thoughtful, so smart. His deep love of his country was surpassed only by his deep commitment and love of his family. Decent and proper - and funny as hell - Alex was "C." As espionage requires, he was quiet, not attention seeking. He knew what evil was and he was ruthless in his efforts to crush it with every legal tool at his command. And he knew who his friends were and committed himself to supporting them.

I miss Sir Alex Younger. He was a role model for me and a man with whom every minute I spent was valued and savored. Blessings to you Alex. Praying for you and for your family. Well done and may you rest in peace in His hands.

Even Arab leaders admit it.

Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.

Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.

Ok, so let us set that aside.

Now watch this.

In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.

Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.

He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.

The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.

This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.

When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.

The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.

This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.

If you value the truth, please share.

Sánchez acelera la fusión del CNI con la inteligencia militar para blindar su control total del espionaje estatal y hacerlo irreversible ante un posible cambio de Gobierno, convirtiendo la inteligencia en un instrumento partidista de la PSOE

El acuerdo permitiría al CNI (dirigido por personas cercanas al PSOE) introducir o mantener a sus cuadros en la inteligencia militar. Una vez colocados, esos mandos tienen estabilidad (difíciles de cesar) y controlan información sensible durante años.

INVADERS BRAG: “We Took Paris in 3 Hours!”

African migrants film themselves celebrating near the Arc de Triomphe, proudly declaring they conquered France faster than the German Army in 1940. They laugh, chant Marine Le Pen’s name, and boast they now own the city. This is not immigration — it’s open conquest. Wake up, Europe.

[Perle @veritebeaute]

Anonyme : Je suis pompier et ce que j’ai vu hier dans les rues de Paris m’a brisé le cœur.
On est intervenus vers 22h, après l’appel pour un feu de poubelles qui dégénérait. On pensait à un simple incident de soirée. On est arrivés sur place et c’était l’enfer. Paris, ma ville, celle où j’ai grandi, où j’ai fait mes premières gardes, était devenue une zone de guerre. Des fumées noires partout, des cris, des explosions de mortiers. Des groupes de jeunes, souvent issus de l’immigration, cagoulés, organisés, qui chargeaient les forces de l’ordre comme sur un champ de bataille.
J’ai vu des collègues policiers se faire lyncher à coups de barre de fer. J’ai vu une voiture de police caillassée alors qu’on sortait juste pour éteindre un feu qui menaçait des familles. On a été pris à partie par des émeutiers qui nous hurlaient dessus, nous traitant de “chiens”. On essayait juste de sauver des vies, et on devenait des cibles.
J’ai ramassé un gamin de 14 ans, le visage en sang, qui pleurait en disant qu’il avait suivi “les grands” pour “s’amuser”. J’ai vu une mère de famille, volets fermés, qui nous suppliait de protéger ses enfants pendant que ça cassait tout en bas. Les vitrines défoncées, les commerces pillés, les voitures brûlées… tout ça sous prétexte de “fêter” quelque chose.
Fêter, ce n’est pas casser.
C’est ça, la France en 2026 ? Un pays où on ne peut plus sortir le soir sans risquer sa vie ? Un pays où des quartiers entiers sont livrés à des clans qui ne respectent ni nos lois, ni notre histoire, ni nos pompiers, ni nos policiers ? Où on regarde impuissant notre capitale, symbole de lumière et de culture, transformée en terrain de jeu pour des barbares qui crachent sur la main qui les nourrit ?
Cette nuit, en rentrant chez moi à 6h du matin, encore couvert de suie et de sueur, j’ai pleuré comme un gosse. Pas de fatigue. De rage et de tristesse. Pour mes enfants. Pour mes collègues blessés. Pour ce pays que j’aime et qui se laisse mourir.
Réveillez-vous. S’il vous plaît. Avant qu’il ne reste plus rien à sauver.

Las joyas de Zapatero son el escándalo perfecto: brillan, distraen y permiten convertir una trama de poder en una tertulia de joyería.

Pero lo verdaderamente grave del caso Zapatero no está en una caja fuerte. Está en la conexión china que justo antes de la que considero cortina de humo de las joyas empezaba a asomar en el sumario.

Ahí aparecen nombres concretos que no son cualquier cosa.

Fangyong Du, conocido como "Miguelito Duch", señalado en informes del CNI como posible activo de ila Inteligencia de Pekín en España. No es ninguna broma: en la arquitectura del PCCh, ciertos empresarios chinos en el extranjero operan dentro del ecosistema del Frente Unido, el mecanismo diseñado para influir, captar y abrir puertas políticas fuera de China.

También aparece Jin Cai, vinculada a Gate Center Asia, la plataforma que habría facilitado agendas de Zapatero en Pekín, incluidas reuniones de alto nivel con Liu Jianchao, ministro del Departamento de Enlace Exterior del Comité Central del Partido Comunista Chino. No hablamos de una asociación cultural de barrio. Hablamos de la sección del PCCh encargada de las relaciones políticas internacionales.

Está, además, Zeng Junhao y el nexo de Hong Kong, con sociedades instrumentales como China International Cultural Technology Resources Group Co. Ltd. Y aquí surge algo demoledor: según las comunicaciones investigadas por la UDEF, los propios implicados habrían reconocido la naturaleza de esa entidad con una frase que no deja margen a la duda:

"Debemos tener claro qué vamos a ofertar. Esta es una empresa que depende del Partido Comunista Chino".

Luego, por si fuera poco, están las grandes corporaciones estatales chinas, las SOEs, dependientes del Consejo de Estado de la República Popular China a través de la SASAC. El objetivo, según el sumario, era caza mayor: energía, petróleo venezolano, infraestructuras, telecomunicaciones, Huawei, contratos estratégicos y acceso político privilegiado.

Es decir: no estamos solo ante un posible caso de corrupción económica.

Estamos ante la posibilidad de que un expresidente del Gobierno de España haya operado como activo para intereses vinculados al Estado chino, utilizando su relación con Caracas, su influencia política en el Gobierno y su extrecha relación con pedro Sánchez.

Por eso las joyas son tan útiles como cortina de humo.

Las joyas generar portadas. Pero China explica una estrategia acojonante.

Europe has spent years worrying about Hungary. Perhaps it should start paying more attention to Spain.

For years, the EU struggled with illiberal governments that were openly sympathetic to Russia. But quietly, Spain is emerging as a major problem of its own.

- Spain has decided to legalise the status of hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants.

- Spain's support for Ukraine consists largely of encouraging words rather than meaningful military contributions.

- Spain has announced it will not meet the target for defense spending agreed by everybody else in Europe.

- Spain's hostility towards almost everything connected to Israel has become so one-sided that it raises uncomfortable questions.

- And now Spain appears unwilling to acknowledge that China is both a strategic challenge and a systemic rival to Europe.

Is this merely Spanish domestic politics? Not really. In every case, Spain is pursuing policies that make Europe less secure. The common denominator is a failure to think strategically about the world as it actually is.

Europe spent decades underestimating Russia.

It would be unfortunate if one of its largest member states now repeated the same mistake with Russia's senior partner: China.

The problem is not that Spain is left-wing. The problem is that Spain increasingly treats very hard, strategic realities as interesting perspectives on an academic debate.

That should concern all Europeans.
