"La signora Kallas vuole umiliare la Russia ogni singolo giorno. I Paesi baltici vogliono umiliare la Russia ogni singolo giorno. Il signor Sikorski vuole umiliare la Russia ogni singolo giorno. E sono felice di fare nomi, perché ho lavorato con tutti i loro governi"

Jeffrey Sachs, economista della Columbia University, gela l'aula e rimprovera l'Europa citando Kennedy:
"Il 10 giugno 1963 disse al popolo americano che occorreva fare la pace con l’altra parte. Era la crisi dei missili, a un secondo dall'armageddon. Non pose richieste all’Unione Sovietica. Disse agli americani: pensiamoci, perché altrimenti si muore tutti. Quando Chruščëv lesse il discorso, disse: voglio fare la pace. Perché Kennedy non aveva detto «fai questo, fai quello, sei malvagio». Aveva detto: dobbiamo ripensare il nostro atteggiamento per poter fare la pace. E Chruščëv rispose: anche noi. E la pace ebbe inizio”.

[DENZO FC @Denzo_R2]

Zinedine Zidane on the criticism of Alexander Sørloth for not passing to Erling Haaland after Norway’s World Cup elimination.

🗣️ “I’m amazed by how quickly people rush to destroy a player after one moment. Everyone suddenly becomes an expert after the final whistle. It’s pathetic. Football isn’t played from a sofa with slow-motion replays.”

“The people attacking Sørloth should be embarrassed. He was fighting for his country, playing out of position, sacrificing himself for the team, and now they’re trying to blame an entire World Cup elimination on one decision. That’s nonsense.”

“You think he deliberately ignored Erling Haaland? Don’t be ridiculous. In those moments you have defenders flying at you, your legs are exhausted and you have less than a second to decide. Anyone pretending it was an easy pass has clearly never played football at the highest level.”

“Norway didn’t crash out because Alexander Sørloth didn’t make one pass. They were eliminated because football is decided over 90 or 120 minutes, not by one freeze frame shared across social media. Blaming one player is lazy, unfair and completely disrespectful.”

“Instead of attacking a player who gave everything for his badge, maybe start appreciating the courage it takes to play on the biggest stage in world football. The critics always have the loudest voices, but they’re never the ones carrying the pressure.”

“Leave Sørloth alone. He doesn’t deserve to be hunted because your team lost. Real football people understand the game. The rest are just looking for someone to blame.”

Hidden in the chaos is arguably Bitcoin's greatest adoption story to date.

In the middle of a war, a country chose Bitcoin to settle trade. Not gold. Not the dollar. Not stablecoins.

Why? Because in the end, the best money wins. Bitcoin is money for all when you need it most.

Powerful testimony from @SecKennedy on the nation's health crisis and tribalism getting in the way of fixing it:

[Iuliia Mendel @IuliiaMendel]

What you see every day on European television is a carefully edited story: Ukraine is “winning,” the West is “united,” and everything is under control. I wish that were true.

The reality inside my country is very different. Entire cities and towns have been reduced to rubble.

Hundreds of thousands of young Ukrainian men have been killed or maimed. Families are exhausted, the economy is in ruins, and the next winter can again come with blackouts and empty shelves.

People are not “resilient heroes” in some Hollywood script — they are simply desperate. Many no longer believe the war will end on the terms we were promised two years ago. And yet, when you listen to Brussels or read the big European newspapers, you hear only applause for the status quo.
More sanctions.
More weapons.
More “strategic patience.”

They call it solidarity. One has to ask — with all due respect — is it really solidarity, or is it something more cynical? European leaders talk about “defending democracy” while quietly admitting in private that they have no plan for victory and no real intention of paying the full price themselves.

Their media shows endless images of Ukrainian suffering but almost never asks the uncomfortable question: how many more lives must be lost before someone in the EU admits that the current strategy is not working?

This is not just hypocritical. It is dangerous.

By keeping the conflict frozen in this half-supported, half-abandoned state, we are not only destroying Ukraine — we are exhausting Europe’s own economies, pushing global food and energy prices higher, and steadily raising the risk that one miscalculation turns a regional war into something far wider.

The status quo is not neutral. It is a slow-motion catastrophe dressed up as moral virtue. I am not asking for surrender. I am asking for honesty.

Europeans deserve to know the real price being paid.

Ukrainians deserve leaders who tell them the truth instead of yesterday’s slogans. And the world deserves a conversation that is no longer filtered through political correctness.

🚨 JUST NOW: HHS Sec. Bobby Kennedy NAILS IT on Big Pharma and healthcare giants

No WONDER Pharma-bought members of Congress hate him so much!

"We have a SICK care system where people get compensated more for keeping patients sick!"

"And, you know, Medicare Advantage was supposed to be a template for outcome-based care. We have other templates for outcome-based care."

"We need to align the economic incentives with the outcome of good health for all Americans." 🇺🇸

Thank you, @SecKennedy!

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

This is beyond shameful:

When asked if it "bothered him at all" when Trump "threatened to kill the entire Iranian civilization," Rutte's response was simply: "what I want you to know is I support the President and I know a large part of Europe do."

If Europe cared at all about the "values" it supposedly has, this should be cause for immediate dismissal, and potentially criminal prosecution - publicly endorsing genocide would be classified as illegal hate speech in several EU countries, including in the Netherlands (Rutte's own country).

I 2003 fløy Bill Clinton til Norge sammen med Epstein i det som senere ble kjent som «Lolita Express», for å promotere Clinton-stiftelsen.

I Oslo møtte Clinton både kongefamilien og daværende statsminister Kjell Magne Bondevik. Resultatet ble en politisk og økonomisk suksess for stiftelsen.

Over de neste årene mottok den nærmere én milliard kroner i støtte fra norske skattebetalere, et nivå bare Saudi-Arabia kunne måle seg med. https://t.co/C3FV4Lxexh

Bitcoin is a volatile asset.

It went from $0.01 to $126,000 in about 15 years. There were many 50-85% drawdowns along the way.

Bitcoin has averaged a Global Financial Crisis every 18 months for the last decade.

Yet bitcoiners continue to hold through all the noise. The blockchain produces block-after-block of transactions.

And the critics take their “victory laps” during the drawdowns, only to get their faces ripped off a few months later in a bull market by the best performing asset since 2010.

It is a story as old as time.

Let the critics celebrate today. They will predict the death of bitcoin for the thousandth time. They will point and laugh at those who hold the asset.

But secretly they know the truth.

Their dollars will continue to devalue and bitcoin will appreciate over the long run.

Scarcity never goes out of style.

[Natalie Brunell ⚡️ @natbrunell]

I’ve had more people reach out to me shaken in this cycle than even in 2022 (when Bitcoin went down 75% from $68k ATH to $16k!) saying they’re panicked, they sold, or they’re suddenly “not sure” about Bitcoin.

Some bailed into gold because they still want to stay on the hard money train. Some are convinced quantum computing is about to “break” Bitcoin. Some tell me I’m reckless for being so undiversified with my life’s savings.

I understand the fear. Drawdowns aren’t fun. They can mess with your confidence and your timeline…especially when the mood is this dark (and when your income is tied to the same asset you’re holding!).

But here’s where I’m at: Bitcoin is still the only life raft worth holding and helping other people find.

My mom gets $900 a month in Social Security. Who can live on that? That’s not a retirement plan - it’s a slow economic strangulation.

So no, I’m not in Bitcoin because it’s some thrilling get rich overnight scheme. I’m in Bitcoin because I don’t see another path that gives everyday families like mine a real shot. I didn’t get in early enough to be “set.” I’m still building. Still working. Still trying to protect the people I love in a system that keeps making life more expensive!

I haven’t lost faith….not because I’m numb to this volatility, but because the problem Bitcoin solves hasn’t gone away.

If you’re shaken right now, you’re not weak. You’re human. Just don’t confuse a bad market mood with a broken thesis.

Keep going. Zoom out. Do the work. Take care of your family. I’m doing the same. We’ve got this.

⚡️This is epochal.

Central banks now hold more gold by value than US Treasuries. That flips the reserve order of the global system.

The dollar’s anchor has been credibility, not convertibility. That credibility was built on a post-Bretton trust pact: the U.S. runs deficits, exports Treasuries, and backstops the system with military and monetary dominance. That pact just cracked.

Gold rising above Treasuries in reserve value is not just a commodity rerating. It is a revaluation of trust.

It means central banks no longer believe Treasuries are the safest form of savings. They are rotating toward neutral, non-defaultable settlement.

This is the sovereign bid for collateral with no political risk. Gold has no yield, but it also has no fiscal cliff, no weaponized sanctions, no roll-over risk, no inflation adjustment errors, no monetary policy reversals.

Zoom out:

1. Gold’s price rise is not speculative.

It is structural reserve rotation from politically contingent assets to neutral ones.

2.This rotation is self-reinforcing.

As gold becomes a larger share of global reserves, it gains systemic gravity. That draws more demand. The denominator shifts. Treasuries weaken as reserve collateral, not just in price, but in role.

3.The US loses its monopoly on trust.

That forces higher yields to attract capital, which breaks the Treasury market’s function as a stable reserve. Foreign holders exit first. Domestic monetization follows.

This is phase transition, not price action.

Gold has flipped from hedge to reference. Treasuries are no longer the reserve. Gold is. The game has changed. The reserve map is rewriting itself in real time.

This is the 15-minute speech that got Canadian PM Mark Carney a standing ovation.

For those of you who have become inured to the bloviating meanderings of Trump, this is how real leaders talk.

World leadership is relocating.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

WOW!!!

Never thought we would hear this level of honesty from a Western leader, and certainly not Canada, given the direction of Canada in the past 25 years. Canada's shift towards multialignment is quite clear - and this level of honesty from Carney on Western "fiction" about the old order will be warmly welcomed in much of the Global South:

"We knew that the story about the rules-based order was partially false... We knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused and the victim. This fiction was useful [because of the goods provided by American hegemony]... So we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals. And we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality. This bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination."

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants to ban Bill Gates’ lab-grown meat. 🥩

As the U.S. Health Secretary, RFK Jr. is taking a sledgehammer to the "techno-billionaire" food agenda. He has officially signaled that a crackdown on cultivated meat is a top priority for the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) mission, framing the industry as a corporate science experiment that threatens both human health and the American rancher.

RFK Jr. has publicly blasted lab-grown protein as an "ultra-processed scam" designed to enrich elites while dismantling traditional agriculture. Last week, HHS and the USDA released a historic "inverted" food pyramid. The new guidelines prioritize red meat, eggs, and full-fat dairy while explicitly warning Americans to avoid "highly processed" lab-grown substitutes.

Proponents like Gates argue that lab meat is the only way to save the planet from the climate impact of traditional farming. RFK Jr. is betting on the opposite: that saving the planet starts with regenerative agriculture and getting "chemicals out of the kitchen."

Is this a necessary move to protect our food sovereignty, or is the government overstepping by choosing "real" meat over "science" meat? 🥩
