We’ve freed some, but the fight isn’t over. These men risked everything to challenge power and build a freer world.
The least we can do is bring them home.
So many firsts here...😲
First lotto solo mined RDTS block.
First RDTS block not mined with DATUM Gateway (and first using ckpool software).
First RDTS block not mined using OCEAN.
This is what’s known as a “Show for the goyim.”
Trump gets to publicly pretended he isn’t owned by Israel, Israel still gets all the US tax dollars, weapons and military support for all ongoing wars.
It’s a win-win for everyone except Americans

🎯 Deep Dive: The Quiet Coup Inside the NDAA
The Responsible Statecraft piece has put its finger on something genuinely significant — and the fact that this is happening inside a must-pass $1.15 trillion defense bill, buried at Section 224, tells you everything about how the permanent national security apparatus operates when it wants to avoid a public fight.
🏗️ What Section 224 Actually Does
This isn’t a tweak. Section 224 — titled the “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” — is a structural rewiring of the U.S.-Israel military relationship.
The provision authorizes $150 million annually from FY2027 through FY2029, but the money is almost beside the point. What matters is the architecture it builds:
- Bilateral R&D across AI, quantum computing, autonomous systems, directed energy, cyber, biotech, counter-drone systems, and missile defense
- Co-production and joint ventures with Israeli defense firms on U.S. soil
- Licensing agreements that embed Israeli-origin intellectual property into Pentagon programs of record
- “Network integration” and “data fusion” — which means U.S. military data flowing into Israeli systems and vice versa
- Pathways from R&D straight into procurement, bypassing the normal foreign aid oversight channels
The key phrase in the legislative text: technologies are to be identified for “integration into United States systems and programs of record.” That’s not foreign aid. That’s making Israeli defense tech a backbone of the U.S. military.
🔄 The Strategic Shift: From Aid to Embedded Infrastructure
The Quincy Institute’s Steven Simon has been tracking this for months. His brief, The Disappearing Aid Check, lays out exactly what’s happening — and it’s more sophisticated than most people realize.
The current model: Israel receives Foreign Military Financing (FMF) through the State Department, voted on annually by Congress. It's visible. It's politically accountable. People can argue about it.
The new model: Phase out FMF grants and replace them with Pentagon procurement accounts, industrial partnerships, and sustainment pipelines. Same money, different door — one with vastly less transparency.
The logic, as Simon documents, is being sold under an “America First” framing: this isn’t a handout to Israel, it’s an investment in American military readiness, industrial capacity, and jobs. Israeli co-production facilities in Mississippi and Arkansas become political leverage — members of Congress protect the jobs in their districts, and the relationship becomes structurally impossible to unwind.
This is the same playbook the military-industrial complex always uses: distribute the subcontracts across as many congressional districts as possible so no one dares vote against the program. Now they’re doing it with a foreign country’s defense sector.
🕳️ The Transparency Problem
The shift from State Department-administered FMF to Pentagon procurement is the move that should alarm anyone who cares about accountability.
Under the FMF model:
- Congress votes on the aid package publicly
- The State Department provides human rights certifications
- There’s diplomatic oversight and policy conditionality
- Public debate is possible
Under the Pentagon procurement model:
- Funding moves through budget justification documents and program element descriptions
- Oversight is limited to “cost, readiness, and capability” — bureaucratic criteria
- The relationship gets evaluated like any other weapons program, not as a strategic political commitment
- No diplomatic strings attached
As the Responsible Statecraft piece notes, this would give Israel “a higher level of military-industrial integration than the U.S. has with any other country in the world” — including NATO allies. Not even the Five Eyes partners have this kind of embedded access to U.S. defense procurement.
🧬 The Legislative Genealogy
This didn’t come out of nowhere. H.R. 7540 (Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-TX) and S. 3855 (Sen. Ted Budd, R-NC) were introduced as standalone bills in February 2026 with nearly identical language. When a standalone passage looked difficult, the provisions got folded into the NDAA — the classic maneuver for legislation that can’t survive public scrutiny on its own.
The JINSA (Jewish Institute for National Security of America) influence is unmistakable. Their “Partners in Production” report explicitly recommended deeper industrial integration and the addition of Israel to the U.S. National Technology and Industrial Base (NTIB). The FY2026 NDAA had already directed DoD to establish a working group to assess exactly that. Section 224 is the next logical step — and JINSA’s fingerprints are all over it.
⚠️ Why This Matters More Than the Dollar Figure
$150 million a year is a rounding error in a $1.15 trillion defense bill. But the institutional architecture this creates is permanent.
Once Israeli firms are embedded in U.S. supply chains, once Israeli-origin IP is inside Pentagon programs of record, once U.S. and Israeli military data networks are fused — disentanglement becomes economically and institutionally impossible. You can’t just stop the aid check. You’d have to rip apart procurement programs, break contracts, and rebuild supply chains.
That’s the point. This is designed to make the relationship irreversible — at precisely the moment when a growing number of Americans are questioning unconditional support for Israel’s actions in the region.
The traditional Israel lobby works through campaign contributions and media influence. This is more sophisticated: it works through the defense procurement bureaucracy itself, creating material interests that guarantee political support regardless of public opinion.
🗳️ What Happens Next
The House Armed Services Committee markup is scheduled for June 4, 2026. After that, the bill moves to the full House, then reconciliation with the Senate version.
Section 224 is currently in the base text — meaning it was put there by committee leadership before amendments or broader debate. That’s how the most consequential provisions get through: bury them in the chairman’s mark, count on the must-pass nature of the NDAA, and dare anyone to hold up the entire defense budget over one section.
Members who want to stop this have a narrow window: force a floor amendment to strike Section 224, or demand recorded votes that put colleagues on the record supporting the fusion of U.S. and Israeli militaries. The question is whether anyone has the stomach for that fight when the pro-Israel apparatus in both parties remains largely unchallenged.
The Responsible Statecraft piece is right to flag this. The quiet ones are always the ones that matter most.

🇦🇷🇮🇱 | “Argentina’s Jewish president has officially handed over 100,000 hectares of pristine forest land to Israel - an area four times the size of Gaza.”
These are the exact same territories where Zionist arsonists were caught red-handed just months ago, torching the land to clear it.
Mel Gibson’s infamous prophecy is unfolding before our eyes: Israel is relocating to Argentina. And just as we watch, Argentina is being erased as a sovereign nation. What happened in Palestine is now repeating here - systematic replacement, demographic conquest, and eventual erasure.
In 50 to 70 years, there will be no Argentina left. Only “New Israel.”
Eh... Looks like River wants a biometric facial scan now as well. I guess the days of just uploading an ID or bank acct are over. I think Im going to stop taking my paychecks in Bitcoin and just try to live off cash soon if the only options to use it are biometrically surveiled.

It's more than that. It's an entire surveillance ecosystem that listens, watches, and tracks you, built quietly in your neighborhood without consent, under the banner of 'safety.' Welcome to the panopticon.
