It feels like just yesterday when Gavin Newsom took a moment out of his State of the State address to make sure everybody knew about all the amazing work LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho was doing.

So it is quite fitting that today Carvalho resigns in disgrace after the FBI raided his home and office

@ArthurMacwaters Notice how mainstream changed from prejudice to racism?

@VigilantFox Yeah, they said that about Guttenbergs printing press, not even mention the fax machine and how that changed everybody’s world forever and they act like it was nothing😜

Jeff Bezos watched Amazon’s stock crash from $113 to $6 a share.

A 94% collapse.

Shareholders fled. Employees froze. The entire internet was declared a failed experiment.

Bezos pulled up the numbers.

New customers. Up.

Repeat purchases. Up.

Every metric that actually mattered. Up.

The stock was collapsing. The business was accelerating.

Two opposite realities. Same company. Same quarter.

Bezos: “The fundamentals of the business can be disconnected from the stock price. In the long term, it’s a weighing machine. Our job is to build a heavy company.”

Build a heavy company.

Not a loud company. Not a hyped company. A heavy one. One that the scale eventually has no choice but to register.

That single line separates people who lose money from people who build empires. Most people trade the scoreboard. A few people play the actual game.

Now look at AI.

Same fever. Same flood of capital. Same psychology. Every idea with a pitch deck gets a check.

Bezos: “When people get very excited, every experiment gets funded. That’s probably happening today.”

He’s not saying AI is fake. He’s saying the opposite.

Bezos: “AI is real. It is going to change every industry. It’s a horizontal enabling layer. Every manufacturing company. Every hotel. Every consumer products company. I literally mean every company.”

Not some. Not most. Every.

That’s not a trend. That’s a new operating system for civilization.

But this is where Bezos separates himself from every other voice in the room.

Two types of bubbles. Financial bubbles and industrial bubbles.

Financial bubbles leave wreckage.

Industrial bubbles leave infrastructure.

Bezos: “The 90s had a biotech bubble. As a group, they all lost money. But we did get a couple of life-saving drugs.”

The dot-com bubble bankrupted thousands of companies. But it also laid the fiber optic cables that built the modern internet. The railroad bubble wiped out speculators. But it connected a continent.

The bubble pops. The foundation stays.

AI will follow the same script. Companies will burn. Capital will vanish. Headlines will scream that it was all a mirage.

And underneath the rubble, the infrastructure that rewires every industry on earth will already be in place.

The people who understand this will look insane for a while. Then they’ll look inevitable.

That’s always how it works.

The crowd reads the ticker. The builder reads the metrics underneath it.

The crowd chases what’s loud. The builder chases what’s heavy.

And when the dust settles, the only things left standing are the ones that were too heavy to fall.

Elon Musk just described the most sophisticated theft operation in American history.

Not a heist. A system.

Your tax dollars leave Washington.

They enter a non-governmental organization. The government. With different letterhead.

Musk: “Obviously if it’s a government-funded non-governmental organization, it’s just the government.”

They cross a border.

American law stops following them.

They pass through three more entities in three more countries.

They come home.

Different pocket. Clean hands. Perfect crime.

Musk: “The government can send money to an NGO that is then no longer governed by the laws of the United States.”

Now run the math.

Congressional salary. $200,000.

Average net worth of a longtime member of Congress. North of $20 million.

Musk: “There are a lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress. I just can’t connect the dots of how they got $20 million earning $200,000 a year. Nobody can explain that.”

Nobody is supposed to.

This machine ran untouched for decades for one reason. Human limitation.

A forensic team cannot trace ten thousand wire transfers across fifty global jurisdictions at once.

The corruption does not hide in darkness.

It hides in volume.

They built a labyrinth so deliberately complex that the sheer weight of it collapses every investigation before it starts.

Paper buries paper. Bureaucracy absorbs inquiry.

The entire architecture was engineered to exhaust you.

Then artificial intelligence arrived.

AI does not get tired.

It cannot be bought.

It does not lose the thread at wire transfer 4,000.

You give it the entire global ledger. It maps every node, every transfer, every shell entity, every offshore NGO across every jurisdiction. Not in weeks. In hours.

It finds the signal inside the noise.

It flags the pattern.

It traces a dollar from a D.C. appropriation to a Cayman shell to a congressional portfolio in the time it takes a human auditor to find his parking spot.

The labyrinth was built to defeat human eyes.

It is defenseless against a machine that reads the entire maze at once.

This is why the establishment is not just annoyed by DOGE.

They are terrified.

Musk: “We’re going to try to figure it out and stop it.”

He did not arrive in Washington to trim budgets.

He arrived with supercomputing, AI audit systems, and a mandate to map the full financial architecture of the federal government.

For the first time in history, the complexity that protected the corruption is the very thing that will expose it.

Every shell entity is a signature.

Every routing pattern is a fingerprint.

Every congressman who walked in earning $200,000 and walked out worth $20 million is now a variable in an equation that will be solved.

The swamp was never impenetrable.

It was just too big for human hands.

It was never built for this.

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more.

Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged.

Here's what happened:

Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it."

And the exact emails are now PUBLIC.

Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem.

The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately."

Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call.

Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price.

Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed.

Same playbook with Hanes:

Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased."

Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins.

But it gets even worse...

Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site.

Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing.

They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS.

The mechanism is simple but terrifying:

If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers.

Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings."

Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products.

Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform.

So turns out, you were never comparison shopping.

You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors.

"Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable."

3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on.

This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat.

And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE.

"Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.

This is central banking in a nutshell:

A group of rich guys go to the king and say: "Hey, you need money for your war. We'll give you all the money you want."

The king says: "Great, where's the money?"

They say: "We're going to make it up. We'll write numbers in a book and that's your money now."

The king says: "What do I owe you?"

They say: "You pay us back with interest."

The king says: "Where do I get that money?"

They say: "You tax your citizens."

The king says: "What if I can't pay it all back?"

They say: "That's fine. We'll lend you more. Same deal."

The king says: "And what do you do with the IOUs I gave you?"

They say: "We use them to prove we have money, so we can lend even more money to other people and charge them interest too."

The king says: "So you made up money, lent it to me, I tax my people to pay you back, and then you use my debt to make up even more money and lend it to everyone else?"

They say: "Yes."

The king says: "What did it cost you?"

They say: "Nothing."

That's literally how the Bank of England started in 1694. The Bank was formed to finance King William's war with France. The king gave the Bank a charter, granting it a monopoly on money.

The king could have as much money as he wanted. The bankers could always earn interest. Taxpayers covered the bill.

Now replace "king" with "United States Government" and you have the Federal Reserve in 1913. Same story, different country.

It doesn't end there.

185 central banks exist in the world today.

Across the globe, the governments get as much money as they want, the bankers load their pockets with interest, and the taxpayers pay for it all.

Oh, and if you don't pay your taxes, they'll fine you, penalize you, or throw you in jail.

The ONLY way out of this is to STOP USING THEIR MONEY.

As long as you're using the money that central banks control, the central banks will have control.

You have to stop giving them energy.

Use a different form of money that they can't control.

This is why Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin.
