i know this kid that works remote out of his car with a hotspot, parked at the pavillions parking lot. making a couple thousand a month.
every 30 minutes he checks the pokemon vending machine. clears it out whenever there's something avail.
occasionally fights an 8 year old or a bowl cut edgar for the supply.
just to rip that shit or occasionally sell for 2x retail.
makes more doing that than his remote job.
that's how crazy the pokemon tcg market is.
$cards, $tcg, and other coins have brought that hype on chain.
if you're looking for the perfect beta, look at $pokerx.
@pokerescue has been building for month, quietly, and now has -
2 Gacha platforms with a 98% buybacks
an AI arbitrage bot that buys and flips mispriced
@Collector_Crypt cards
profits from these 3 platforms go towards buybacks of $pokerx.
you can simply gamble / gacha on @pokerescue, and still benefit from losses if you own the coin.

@Innerdevcrypto@benjii Hey Tim, am I understanding that direct realization cannot be obtained without leaving everything behind? Job, partner, children, friends? For at least a while? It seems you have to “crash out” to reach it.
I spent 13 years in counterintelligence and HUMINT. Let me explain why the government psyop operation on X is a problem.
I'm not some random person speculating about intelligence operations. I spent 13 years in the United States Army doing counterintelligence and human intelligence work. Then another 7 years working for the government in related fields. I know how this works.
When I tell you that military PSYOP personnel operating on a domestic social media platform is a serious problem, I need you to understand I'm not being hyperbolic.
What PSYOP actually does:
Psychological Operations are designed to influence the emotions, attitudes, and behavior of target audiences. That's the literal job description. These are professionals trained to shape how people think, what they believe, and how they act.
This is a legitimate function — in foreign theaters. PSYOP exists to influence foreign populations in areas where the US military operates. It's a tool of warfare and foreign policy.
The problem: It's not supposed to be used domestically.
There's a reason for this. The Smith-Mundt Act historically prohibited the government from directing propaganda at American citizens. The idea was simple: the US military and intelligence community should not be in the business of psychologically manipulating the American public.
That's what authoritarian governments do. That's what we criticized the Soviet Union for. That's what we point to when we call countries "unfree."
What's happening now:
US military psychological operations personnel are now embedded in the platform that tens of millions of Americans use as a primary news and information source. The "free speech" platform. The one that was supposed to be the alternative to government-influenced big tech.
Let me be clear about what this means:
The same people who are trained to run influence campaigns on foreign populations — to change what they think, to manipulate their behavior, to shape their perception of reality — are now operating on a platform used primarily by Americans.
The irony is suffocating:
The MAGA crowd screamed for years about "government censorship" and "deep state control" of social media. Elon Musk bought Twitter explicitly to "free" it from government influence.
And now? Literal military psychological warfare specialists are running operations on the platform.
And MAGA is fine with it. Because it's THEIR government now. THEIR psyop.
This is what I was trained to recognize:
In my years doing counterintelligence, part of my job was identifying foreign influence operations. Recognizing when a population was being manipulated. Understanding the techniques.
I know what a domestic influence operation looks like. I know the signs. I know the methods.
And I'm watching it happen in real-time to my own country, being cheered on by people who think they're "free thinkers" while consuming content curated by military psychological operations specialists.
It doesn't matter if you agree with the current administration.
Today it's your team running the psyop. Tomorrow it won't be. The infrastructure you're cheering for will be used against you eventually. That's how this works. That's why we had rules against it.
You don't give the government the power to psychologically manipulate the domestic population just because you like the current president. That power doesn't go away when the next administration takes over.
Wake up.
You're not free thinkers. You're targets. And you're thanking them for it.
so let me get this straight
the international pedo satanist ch*ld r*pist cabal
is drawing us into a religious fundamentalist war to usher in the end of days
have i got this right??
I know that most of you are shipping and conflict virgins
I myself on the other hand, have traded through a number of these scenarios
So let me tell you how this plays out
If Trump is going to individually escort tankers through the strait, you're talking about an enormously expensive operation which requires many ships as well as tight air support
Even a single inexpensive aerial or naval drone can cause extensive damage to a tanker worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. Protecting these ships requires overkill. The Houthis during the Red Sea conflict were able to dramatically reduce the number of ships sailing through. Unlike the Red Sea conflict, where ships could take the longer route around the South Africa, there are few other paths to exporting oil and petrochemical products from the Persian Gulf.
The US Navy and Air Force attempted to suppress Houthi interference in Red Sea shipping. In the several years that the Red Sea has been partially blocked, throughput has remained at less than half of pre-conflict levels, with many episodes where throughput dropped to near zero. The houthis were able to score direct hits on many ships. Us soldiers and assets were also lost. And this was not against Iran, this was against the Houthis, who do not have the indigenous weapons platform production that Iran has. The Houthis were completely dependent on their pre-conflict storage of weapons and whatever Iran could smuggle to them. And yet, even this faction in one of the poorest countries on earth was able to dramatically impact global maritime flows.
The setup with Iran is exponentially more dangerous. Iran doesn't simply need to attack tankers. And the United States doesn't just need to protect tankers. The United States has to protect all of the upstream energy producing assets that fill those tankers as well. They need to protect the pipelines, the refineries, the petrochemical plants, the storage tanks. And these assets need not only be attacked by drones and missiles. They are easily sabotaged with even a simple wrench. A hand grenade or shoulder-fired weapon at close proximity in exactly the right location can take out an entire oil refinery. Not to mention much more vulnerable assets such as gas production. Thousands of miles of desert pipelines can be sabotaged with a tool as simple as a drill, obtainable from any hardware store.
The cost of protecting each cargo coming out of the Persian Gulf may exceed the total value of the cargo. Not to mention that it puts us ships directly within close proximity of Iranian weapons that can destroy them. The US largely abandoned this escort strategy during the Red Sea conflict. In fact, an entire coalition of US and European naval forces along with Gulf States attempted this against the houthis. The campaign was an utter failure and the ultimate conclusion from US military leadership was that it was much better risk reward to focus on suppressing strike capability. Yet after months of airstrikes Red Sea traffic never fully returned. Attacks continued.
The Trump administration has expressed its intent in not only protecting these cargos but also in artificially manipulating their prices lower. Trump is working against the laws of physics, sound military doctrine, and fundamental economics.
This entire adventure was poorly thought out and calls the entire Islamic world to jihad against America. Trump's attempts to protect the Persian Gulf will result in failure.
@sadpuppy77@YourAnonTV Was thinking about this, do people turn their entire houses into faraday cages with foil in the walls? How would you do the windows?
Back in May 2024 before the U.S elections a Beijing-based historian named Jiang Xueqin predicted THREE massive things that sounded insane at the time... but two have already hit:
1. Trump will win the 2024 elections.
2. The United States will go to war against Iran.
3. The United States will LOSE this war which will forever change the global order.
One of the greatest cheat codes in life is assuming everything is happening in your favor. Lost the deal? You learned a lesson. Someone broke up with you? You dodged a bullet. When you start seeing life as happening FOR you instead of TO you your life will change.
Remember when the Panama Papers came out, revealed that all rich people in the world are part of enormous criminal network to dodge taxes and hoard stolen wealth in offshore accounts, and the journalist who reported was murdered by a car bomb, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.
This is what will happen with the Epstein Files if we don't unite against child rapists.
These Epstein files release is a mass psychological experiment on Americans.
The primary purpose of the release is for Americans to feel helpless, and get used to the feeling — for them to feel powerless & little.
It’s a very well thought out evil strategy.
Mark my words.
