@CatiaKyen Why don't they fight back? Why do they always call on security agents that do nothing. These people don't value their own lives. They wait to be killed by fulani terrorists. Sad.
The key to saving the environment is not looking backward, it’s moving forward.
I realized this the first time I visited Italy twenty years ago. Everything was clean and green. The rivers sparkled. The lesson for me was obvious: the answer is not underdevelopment. The answer is progress.
When China was poor, the air was so polluted that people could barely see the blue sky. Today, blue skies have returned to their cities. Development does not only create wealth, it also provides the resources needed to restore and protect the environment.
Some environmentalists want us to preserve every aspect of our biodiversity, including the mosquitoes for example, so that researchers can fly in once every ten years from their universities (which build particle accelerators and billion-dollar laboratories with their pocket money), study our ecosystems, and count how many people died from dengue outbreaks.
They want to buy our air through carbon credits. If carbon credits were such a great deal, they would be selling them to us, not the other way around.
Cleaning every river, lake, and water source in El Salvador, and ensuring they remain clean and sparkling, would cost roughly $12 billion. Where is that money supposed to come from without economic development? Carbon credits?
The path forward for our country is the path of Japan and Singapore, not the path of the Congo.
Terrorists took turns raping a 52-year-old mother in front of her two children. They recorded it and posted the video online.
We aren’t resilient people, we’re just cowards.
I just dumped my entire $HYPE and $NEAR position, I will explain why in my essay "Reality Test" dropping next Tuesday.
TLDR:
- Higher energy prices due to Iran war and inventory restocking
- 3 Mega AI IPOs between now and early Q3
- Prediction that Trump goes anti-AI to win mid-terms for Republicans
- I think highs in mrkts will happen btw now and September
- Time to take profit, and two-step in beefa without worrying about my positions
Did You Know?
Bruce Mayrock, a 20-year-old Columbia University student, took his own life by setting himself on fire in front of the United Nations Building on 29th May 1969, to protest the genocide of Biafrans, people he had never met.

I'm a big fan of the "GPS Theory" when you miss a turn, your GPS doesn't judge you, it recalculates. No matter how many detours you take, it finds another way forward. Life works like that too. You'll make mistakes, but your destination doesn't vanish. The route just changes.
In Igbo, “ego” means money. If you flip it around, it becomes “oge,” which means time.
Our ancestors already captured it long ago: Oge bụ ego, time na money.
Underrated life advice: Have more hobbies and fewer opinions. Learn an instrument. Plant a garden. Build something with your hands. Cook. Paint. Run. The happiest people I know spend less time debating life and more time actually living it.
🚨 EVER HEARD OF THE “BLACKSTONE MEMORIAL”?
Most people have not.
In 1891, decades before the Balfour Declaration, decades before the Holocaust, and more than half a century before the founding of modern Israel, hundreds of prominent Americans signed a petition calling for the Jewish people to be restored to their ancestral homeland.
It was called the Blackstone Memorial.
The petition was written by William Eugene Blackstone and presented to U.S. President Benjamin Harrison and Secretary of State James G. Blaine.
Its central argument was simple:
Millions of Jews were facing persecution in Russia. Europe did not want them. America could not absorb them all quickly. So the question was asked:
Why not restore the Jewish people to their ancient homeland?
The memorial pointed out that the international powers had already helped restore other peoples to their historic lands. Bulgaria to the Bulgarians. Serbia to the Serbians. Greece to the Greeks.
So why not Palestine to the Jews?
The petition argued that the Jewish people had been expelled from their land by force, had never stopped longing to return, and that restoring Jewish autonomy there would be both just and humanitarian.
And this was not some fringe document.
It was signed by leading American politicians, newspaper editors, clergy, rabbis, judges, bankers, businessmen, and public figures.
Among the names were future President William McKinley, J.P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Chief Justice Melville Fuller, and hundreds of others.
Think about that.
In 1891, major American voices were already publicly saying that the Jewish people had a legitimate historic claim to their homeland.
This was not invented in 1948.
It was not created by the Holocaust.
It was not some colonial project suddenly dropped into the Middle East.
The idea that the Jewish people belonged in their ancestral homeland was recognized by major American figures generations before the State of Israel was reborn.
The Blackstone Memorial is a reminder that Jewish restoration was not a modern propaganda slogan.
It was an old moral, historical, and political argument.
And America knew it long before the world pretended to forget.
