@TXStrong11 @ConceptualJames @DefiyantlyFree @GenXGirl1994 Going forward we’re going to see multiple coop nations trying to do the same thing. AI is the next arms race. Ukraine isn’t a war; it’s a testing ground. Russia is learning at an accelerated pace and we’re getting left behind. If they coop with China, we’re toast.

[Victor Charlie @VictorCharlie67]

@TXStrong11 @ConceptualJames @DefiyantlyFree @GenXGirl1994 The advent of AI has changed the definition of seamless real time communication. Its requirements to maintain is also massive. Going forward, no one country can afford to keep up without cooperating initiatives. Currently, who else can we rely on to evolve?

[Victor Charlie @VictorCharlie67]

@TXStrong11 @ConceptualJames @DefiyantlyFree @GenXGirl1994 224 doesn’t “integrate our 2 militaries”. It only combines our defense tech into a shared database. There’s no sharing of chain of command or personnel assets; that’s all 🐂💩 conspiracies. AI databases are massive and maintenance heavy. No 1 nation will be able to maintain 1.

@TXStrong11 @ConceptualJames @DefiyantlyFree @GenXGirl1994 Israeli defense cooperation and information sharing has been going on for decades. Without Israeli intelligence, we are damn near blind in the world of Islamic extremism. It’s far better to coop with them than merely relying on 2nd hand information and capabilities.

This is the longform version of the master plan to remake America’s government, a plan I’ve outlined in pieces across various threads.

The protests and foreign-policy interventions are all moving toward the same end: a transformed American system of governance designed to prevent another Trump from ever taking power again.

In effect, the United States has become its own democratic-transition project. We are living through a color revolution.

🚨 BREAKING: Canada’s MAiD euthanasia machine just hit rock bottom.

A Quebec physician has formally suggested assisted suicide for infants — babies from birth to one year old with severe deformities and syndromes. Parents “should have the opportunity” to have their newborn killed.

Federal committees are now pushing to expand MAiD to “mature minors” (children), where a doctor — not the parents — decides if the kid can “consent” to their own death.

Ontario’s Chief Coroner confirms hundreds of MAiD deaths are driven by poverty, loneliness, and lack of housing — not terminal illness.

People are being offered lethal injection because they feel like a burden.

This isn’t healthcare.

This is a moral horror show.

Years of Liberal-NDP rule have turned Canada into one of the most dangerous places on Earth for the vulnerable — from newborns to the poor.

Danielle Smith is fighting this insanity in Alberta.

The rest of the country needs to wake the hell up before it gets even worse.

AOC cost 25,000 people their jobs in Queens by opposing Amazon’s project.

Elizabeth Warren and Mayor Pete cost 17,000 people their jobs by opposing the JetBlue-Spirit merger.

Gavin Newsom cost 82,000 people their jobs by driving Tesla, SpaceX, Oracle, Chevron, Palantir, Charles Schwab, and HP out of California.

Joe Biden and Kamala cost 11,000 people their jobs by shutting down construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.

None of this was a mistake. It’s a policy choice by Democrats. Unemployed and displaced workers turn to and become dependent on government social programs. Without welfare recipients and illegal aliens, Democrats don’t have a base.

Connecting some dots…

Reid Hoffman pays Roberta Kaplan to represent EJ Carroll against Trump.

Reid Hoffman funds Indivisible via ActBlue their “Tesla Takedown” campaign after Elon exposes NGO fraud like SPLC.

SPLC funds Charlottesville op.

Roberta Kaplan represents Charlottesville victims.

Joe Biden uses Charlottesville as reason for running.

Joe Biden appoints Matthew Graves to prosecute J6.

Matthew Graves wife Fatima Graves sits of Indivisible Board.

Roberta Kaplan and Fatima Graves start “Times Up Legal Defense Fund” together.

Fatima Graves and Indivisible run “No Kings” protests.

A tangled web…

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I have two stacks on my desk. The left stack is financial disclosure forms from members of Congress. The right stack is waivers for members who filed their financial disclosures late.

The right stack is always taller.

On Wednesday morning, I watched a soldier get arrested on CNN.

I am a Disclosure Analyst for the House Ethics Committee. I have held this position for eleven years. My job is to receive the forms, verify their completeness, and file them. I do not investigate. I do not flag. I do not refer. I file. I have a lanyard. The lanyard says ETHICS.

The soldier's name is Gannon Ken Van Dyke. He is thirty-eight years old. He was stationed at Fort Bragg. He was Special Forces. In December, he created an account on a prediction market called Polymarket. On January 2nd, he bet $32,500 that the president of Venezuela would be removed from power. On January 3rd, he helped remove the president of Venezuela from power. He collected $409,881.

He has been charged with five federal crimes. Commodities fraud. Wire fraud. Unlawful use of confidential government information. Theft of nonpublic government information. Unlawful monetary transaction. The Department of Justice called it "the first-ever insider trading prosecution on event contracts."

I watched this on the television in our break room. Then I walked back to my desk and processed a late financial disclosure from a member of the House Financial Services Committee who purchased $250,000 in bank stocks eleven days before his subcommittee held a closed-door hearing on proposed capital reserve changes.

The filing was forty-seven days late. The STOCK Act requires disclosure within forty-five days. The penalty for late filing is $200.

I waived it.

I waive most of them. In 2021, fifty-four members of Congress and senior staff violated the reporting rules. The fines were minimal. Most were waived. I have a form for the waiver. The form has a box that says "Reason." I write "administrative delay." In ethics, "administrative delay" means the member's office forgot and then remembered when a reporter called. My approval rate is one hundred percent. In any other field, that number would trigger an audit. In mine, it is called thoroughness.

Let me show you what I processed this year.

January. A senator on the Armed Services Committee sold defense contractor shares worth $1.2 million. Three days later, his committee received a classified briefing that the Iran campaign had exceeded its projected cost by 340%. The stock dropped 8%. He filed the disclosure sixty-one days late. I calculated the fine. $200. His chief of staff asked if it could be waived. He did not ask what the senator traded on. Nobody asks that. The form does not have a field for it. I waived the fine. The senator's portfolio returned 23.4% in 2025. The S&P 500 returned 16.8%.

February. A representative on the Energy and Commerce Committee bought pharmaceutical stocks worth $400,000. Two weeks later, her committee advanced a bill that would extend patent exclusivity for the exact drug class she purchased. The stocks rose 14%. She filed on time. There was no fine. There was no investigation. There was nothing to investigate because buying stocks in companies regulated by your own committee is not illegal. It is legal. The STOCK Act made it legal by making it disclosed. In Congress, disclosed means legal. In my office, legal means filed.

March. A member whose spouse manages a portfolio worth $9.2 million reported forty-three separate transactions in a single quarter. Twelve of them were in sectors directly affected by legislation the member co-sponsored. The timing on eight of those twelve was within a two-week window of committee action. I logged all forty-three. None were flagged. We do not flag. We file.

I asked my supervisor once what would happen if I flagged a filing. She said we do not have a form for that. I never asked again.

In 2020, I processed 847 disclosures. In 2023, 1,211. In 2025, 1,614. The number of enforcement actions in each of those years was zero. The numerator changes. The denominator does not.

I want to tell you about the soldier again.

He made $409,881. He tried to delete his Polymarket account by calling customer service and saying he lost access to his email. He moved his profits into a foreign cryptocurrency vault and then into a new brokerage account. He used his real identity. He placed thirteen bets. Every single one was connected to an operation he personally participated in.

In my eleven years, I have processed disclosures from members of Congress who traded on:

Pending FDA approvals they learned about in committee.
Defense appropriations they voted on.
Trade policy they negotiated.
Pandemic response measures they drafted.
Interest rate decisions they were briefed on before the public.

None of them have been charged. None of them have been investigated by the Department of Justice. None of them have been referred to the SEC. The STOCK Act has produced zero prosecutions since it was signed on April 4th, 2012.

Fourteen years. Five hundred and thirty-five members. $635 million in trades last year alone. Zero cases.

My daughter asked me once what happens when someone breaks the rules. I told her we write it down. She asked what happens after that. I said it depends. She was nine. She is twenty now. It does not depend. Nothing happens after that.

The soldier made $409,881 and faces decades in prison. Nancy Pelosi entered Congress in 1987 with a portfolio worth approximately $785,000. It is now worth $133.7 million. That is a return of 16,930%. The Dow Jones returned 2,300% over the same period. Professional fund managers who beat the market for three consecutive years are considered exceptional. She has beaten it for thirty-seven. If a hedge fund produced those returns, the SEC would subpoena the records on a Thursday. She produced them from a building with a chapel and a gift shop.

She announced her retirement last year. No investigation was opened. No disclosure was flagged. Her filings were on time. In my office, on time means compliant. Compliant means closed.

I want to tell you about the fine.

$200. That is the maximum penalty for violating the STOCK Act's disclosure requirements. $200 for a member of Congress whose portfolio gained $4.7 million in a single quarter. I calculated what $200 represents as a percentage of $4.7 million. It is 0.004%. I could not find a comparison that made it meaningful. It is less than the price of the parking pass in the Rayburn garage. It is less than lunch at the members' dining room if you order the crab cakes, which I am told are excellent though I eat at my desk.

Since 2012, thirty-one bills have been introduced to restrict congressional trading. I keep a list. The list is longer than the STOCK Act itself.

On March 5th, 2026, a representative from Michigan introduced the thirty-second. He called it the "No Getting Rich in Congress Act." The bill would prohibit the President, Vice President, members of Congress, and their spouses from trading individual stocks, cryptocurrency, futures, and commodities while in office.

The bill was referred to committee. The committee has not scheduled a hearing. The committee is chaired by a member whose spouse executed $2.1 million in trades last year.

The bill will be reviewed. In my office, reviewed means read. Read means acknowledged. Acknowledged means a status has been assigned. A status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one.

The soldier used classified information to make $409,881 on a prediction market. He has been charged with five federal crimes. The Department of Justice announced the case on the same day I processed three disclosures from members who traded on committee knowledge worth a combined $3.8 million.

The difference between the soldier and the members is not what they did. It is the building they did it in. He did it from Fort Bragg. They did it from the Capitol. He used a prediction market. They used the New York Stock Exchange. He bet on a military operation. They bet on the legislation they write.

He did not write the law. They did. They wrote the STOCK Act. Then they funded its enforcement at zero dollars. Then they set its maximum penalty at $200. Then they gave my office the authority to waive it. Then they traded $635 million.

The soldier flew to Caracas. He breached a compound. He put his body between a mission and a bullet. The people who ordered the operation were in a building with a credenza and sparkling water. They did not go to Caracas. They went to their brokerage accounts. The soldier made $409,881 and is now in federal custody. The people who knew what he was going to do before he did it made more and filed less. His prosecution is not a failure of the system. It is the system. One conviction per decade, at the lowest level, so the briefing slides can say enforcement exists. The $409,881 is not the crime. It is the cost of making $635 million look supervised.

In my field, we call this self-regulation.

The soldier's Polymarket account has been frozen. His military career is over. He will spend years in federal prison. My office will process every congressional disclosure filed this year. Every trade logged. Every $200 fine calculated and waived. The system is immaculate.

Fourteen years. Zero prosecutions. $635 million a year. A 16,930% return.

I have not leaked a document. I have not filed a complaint. I have not deviated from the process one single time. The process was written by the people whose forms I process.

As long as the disclosures go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations.

My lanyard still says ETHICS. In eleven years, nobody has asked me to define the word.

@KeddeCFC @JJSogaard @AndreasSteno @JT09867369 @Manhattva The original premise was that the EU as a whole represents a huge collective market when that’s not the case b/c the EU is actually made up of smaller markets. The issue isn’t whether or not they’ll sell; it’s whether or not the EU can afford to buy. Read the post he replied to.

@PeterBrix14 @AndreasSteno @JT09867369 @Manhattva Europe as a whole doesn’t spend money on the fore mentioned products and services to the benefit of the entire EU; no?
Does Germany spend its money to buy new MRI machines for Danish hospitals? Does France purchase anti-ship missiles for the Italian navy?

[Victor Charlie @VictorCharlie67]

@JJSogaard @AndreasSteno @JT09867369 @Manhattva Let’s be realistic. There are only 5 countries in the EU (6 if you make a good argument) that has the economy size for purchasing power of any of the fore mentioned products and services for it to significantly sway anyone. Everyone else is just a vassal state of Brussels.
