THE LAST CARD OF THE MARCOS GOVERNMENT—AND ITS SHITTY 'MALETA-DRUNK' CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS—FEARING THAT THEIR POLITICAL CAREERS WILL GO DOWN THE DRAIN AFTER SHE SPOKE OF GRAVE CORRUPTION AND RESIGNED AS EDUCATION SECRETARY.
YOU GUYS KEEP GANGING UP ON THE FILIPINO PEOPLE. THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT THE DUTERTES. EVERY WORKING FILIPINO HAS BEEN TURNED INTO A MILKING COW BY GREEDY AND SHAMELESS POLITICIANS, AND EVEN THOSE NOT YET BORN ARE ALREADY BURDENED WITH THOUSANDS IN DEBT TO EXTERNAL INSTITUTIONS, THANKS TO THE MONEY- AND POWER-HUNGRY.
RETRIBUTION IS COMING!
🇵🇭 Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte posted $5,740 bail after a court ordered her arrest over alleged threats to have President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and two others killed.
Duterte denies the charge and says she was talking about her own safety. The two ran as allies in 2022 and later turned on each other. A conviction could block her from running for president in 2028.
This is a succession fight dressed up as a court case.

France and the Netherlands just proved a point, only with physical gold, not slogans. They did not shout about exceptionalism; they calculated against it. They repatriated because they recognized that U.S. CUSTODY IS NOT A GIVEN BUT A RISK. That is not anti-American, but pro-sovereign. And that is what real leadership looks like: listen to your people, weigh the risks, and move when sovereignty demands it.
Now teach that in schools—not that America is bad, but the hard question: 'Who holds my assets, and why?'
The gold moved. Time to move the curriculum!😎

In 2026:
France eliminated its remaining 129 tonnes of gold held in the United States.
The Netherlands cut its gold allocation in the United States from 31.3% to 18.5%.
Things are changing in the gold world.
Great short video. But it does not give the full picture and also leaves some important stuff out in Russia's favour
However, it does a great job explaining the Russian point of view for the most part
I don't fully agree with the conclusion though, I think that the black sea is def important, also in the context of Iran and the ongoing AI/energy wars
But all of this of course goes way beyond just controlling the black sea and/or affecting Russia's international standing
Not pro-Russia or anti-Ukraine, I am pro human beings, freedom, and common sense. I'll probably going to write on this soon since Europe (EU) is on the brink of collapse and about to do something very stupid and dangerous soon

Trump’s trade threat could BACKFIRE.🔥
President Trump is threatening to halt trade with countries running surpluses with the U.S. unless the Fed cuts rates.
Trump says lower rates would reduce borrowing costs and make the U.S. more competitive.
China, Mexico and Vietnam could be among the biggest targets.
If implemented:
- Supply chains could face major disruption.
- Import prices and inflation could rise.
- U.S. exporters could face retaliation.
- Stocks and crypto could see greater volatility.
- Economic growth could weaken.
Trade restrictions cannot directly force the independent Fed to cut rates, while higher inflation could keep rates elevated, producing the exact opposite of what Trump wants.
Potentially, making inflation WORSE.

JUST IN: Trump signs executive order allowing ranchers to process & sell their own beef directly to consumers, bypassing the “big four” meat processors.
September 16th is about to be a wild day.
We now have President Trump threatening to "stop trading" with all countries that the US has a trade deficit with if the Fed does not CUT rates.
This would effectively cut off trade with ~50% of all US trading partners, including Mexico, China, Taiwan, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Canada, and India.
Trump says the Supreme Court has ruled that he has an "absolute right" to do so.
Meanwhile, the market now thinks Fed Chair Warsh, who was just appointed by President Trump, will HIKE rates in his first rate move.
Just months ago, President Trump said it was a precondition that his Fed Chair appointee is willing to cut rates.
September 16th marks the next Fed decision.
If the Fed doesn't cut rates on September 16th, a potential of $300+ billion in monthly US trade volume could apparently come to a halt.
We will be breaking it all down in real-time.
🇨🇳🇺🇸 Chinese rare earth suppliers are quietly cutting off their American customers...
Some firms have stopped shipping critical minerals to the U.S. because they fear punishment from Beijing.
The freeze began after China sanctioned a major U.S. supply-chain auditor, and it's left several key materials in short supply.
The decoupling of the global tech supply chain has officially begun...

I've been thinking about something lately that I don't hear many people in Bitcoin talking about anymore, and the more I think about it, the stranger it seems.
When I first went down the Bitcoin rabbit hole, the thing that grabbed me wasn't the price. It wasn't ETFs, corporate treasury companies, Wall Street adoption or somebody's prediction of where Bitcoin would be in ten years. It was the idea that for the first time in my life I could actually own money that didn't require me to trust somebody else to hold it, move it, issue more of it or tell me whether the transaction was allowed.
That was the mindfuck.
Don't trust, verify.
Hold your own keys. Run your own node. Learn how the damn thing works. Understand what you're trusting and, more importantly, what you no longer have to trust.
Somewhere along the way though, I think a lot of us slowly stopped talking about that stuff. Bitcoin became more valuable, the institutions showed up, the products got easier, and our attention moved almost entirely to price, flows, ETFs, treasury companies and who's buying next.
None of those things are necessarily bad, but I keep coming back to one uncomfortable question.
What if Bitcoin never forgot what it was built for... but we did?
