Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

Let me recap the earnings call. $MSTR

[Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪 @PeterMcCormack]

A simple message to the silly socialists.

You’re upset by businesses telling you that they will fail with the minimum wage increase. You’re telling business owners silly things like if you can’t pay the minimum wage then you don’t have a viable business.

I want to make this easier to understand, because if you mean what you say, you want people to have jobs and earn a liveable wage.

So listen, businesses fail for all kinds of reasons, mainly because they are unprofitable. We are seeing a wave of business closures at the moment because of the compounding costs from the state against a cost of living crisis.

To make a cup of coffee profitable it has to eat a lot costs:
- 20% VAT (the inputs can’t be claimed back)
- Business rates (a tax before you earn)
- Rising NI costs
- Employment rights load
- Rising energy costs
- Inflation

All these are imposed by the state.

There is also a time tax with all the accounting, HR and regularity requirements which impose cost of consultants and time costs to ensure compliance, distracting owners from operating their businesses.

Then there are the other normal costs. A business owner needs to make a profit else the business fails. If the business fails there are less jobs and lower tax receipts.

If there are less jobs then public services crumble and welfare requirements increase. This is a compounding problem and what leads to the downward spiral of a country.

So… where does the money come from if there are less jobs. The government borrows it, that increase in the money supply drives more inflation, making life more expensive for the people you want to help. Some who now don’t have the job they once had.

So what now? What is your plan? I get it, you don’t really have one, this is what has happened to every socialist state, this is how a country goes from rich to poor. We have no divine right to be a wealthy nation and can certainly lose that status.

So this is your challenge, can you accept society has a distribution of wealth which means there are rich and poor or would you rather everyone was poorer as long as there are no rich. That’s what socialists tend to want, though I have a secret for you, you can’t get rid of people being rich.

I know you think profit is ugly, but the profit motive is what creates business and jobs.

So anyway. I’m going to keep promoting proper economics because that’s how a nation becomes prosperous and prosperity leads to a net better outcome for all. This does mean I am going to have to make fun of your stupid socialist ideas.

Good luck, read a book and stop being a dumb dumb.

[MW4Liberty @MW4Liberty]

Them: "Taxation isn't theft because we have the “consent of the governed” through the vote.

Me: "That is an interesting definition of consent. Tell me. if a group of five people encounters a lone traveler, and four of them vote to take his bag, does the vote make the taking an act of “sharing” rather than “robbery”?

Them: "No, that’s just a mob. We have laws and a social contract."

Me: "Ah, so the number of people involved doesn't change the nature of the act? If the mob grows to a million, is the traveler’s bag still his property?”

Them: "Well, yes. But we vote on things we all need! It’s for the common good."

Me: "I see. Let us test the “common good” logic against the most private property of all: the body. If a crowd of men decides, by majority vote, that a woman’s body should be used for their pleasure or “the common good” of the tribe, does the vote grant her consent?"

Them: "That’s a horrific comparison! No! That is a violent crime because her body belongs to her, not the crowd."

Me: "So we agree: A person’s body is theirs by right, and no amount of voting can transfer that ownership to the majority?"

Them: "Obviously."

Me: "Then tell me - what is labor? Is it not the use of one's body and time over a day, a month, or a year?"

Them: "I suppose it is."

Me: "If I own my body, I must own my labor. And if I own my labor, I must own the fruit of that labor - the wages I earned. If the crowd cannot vote to take my body, by what logic can they vote to take the product of my body’s work?"

Them: "But how would we fund things? How would we protect the poor? Without income taxes, everything would collapse!"

Me: "So, the theft of labor, ie one’s body, is necessary because you cannot imagine a better way to pay for things?"

Them: "It’s not theft! It’s the price we pay for society!"

Me: "If a man steals your car but uses the money to buy bread for the hungry, has the theft vanished? Or do we simply have a thief with a good excuse?"

Them: "You’re being impossible. It’s just how the world works!"

Me: No, it is you being impossible. Impossible in that you wish to fit two opposing ideas into the same. The “consent” you speak of is merely a mask. You do not believe in the vote; you believe in the utility of the haul. You are a man who claims he hates violence, yet asks his friends to vote on which neighbor to rob for dinner. Oh, and it doesn’t have to work this way. But it will as long as people think the way you think…

🚨🚨HUNGARIAN CHESS THAT MAKES BRUSSELS CRY🤣😂🤣

🇭🇺 Viktor Orbán places his trusted “traitor” and the EU falls into the perfect trap: the checkmate that has left Brussels, Soros, and Obama humiliated.

In a display of political chess so brilliant it borders on the comical, Viktor Orbán sniffed out long ago that the European Union, George Soros, Obama, and the whole globalist club were gunning for him. With no worthwhile left-wing opposition left in Hungary (none of them cracked the laughable 5% electoral threshold), the Hungarian prime minister decided to solve the problem his own way: he took his top ally and right-hand man, Péter Magyar, and sent him out front as a deluxe “opponent.”

The plan was as simple as it was genius: Magyar, who until 2024 was a key piece of the Orbán government, dramatically jumped ship, played the dissident, eagerly accepted funds from the very Eurocrats who despise Orbán, and positioned himself as the great hope for “change.” The European left and their patrons fell into the trap like flies into honey. “At last!” they shouted in Brussels, as they cracked open the checkbook. No one understood a thing, of course, because hardly anyone speaks Hungarian and the headlines in Western media were too flattering to question.

The result? Magyar won. And the moment he set foot in power, the “traitor” revealed his true face. He declared that the border “isn’t strong enough,” rejected 90% of Ursula von der Leyen’s demands, prioritized the rights of ethnic Hungarians, and in practice, stuck to the same sovereigntist line that so irritates the EU.

The European Union, Soros, Obama, and company bit the bait, shelled out the cash, and now stare in stunned disbelief as the “change” they celebrated so much is exactly the same old Orbán—just with a different name. Masterstroke. 5D chess at its finest. And the best part: all of it legal, all of it clean, and all of it right under their noses.

[Nick shirley @nickshirleyy]

California is trying to pass a bill that would criminalize investigative journalism with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown.

The proposed bill is titled AB 2624 and was made after I exposed mass fraud by immigrant groups in America.

Under AB 2624, government-funded entities like the Somali “Learing” Daycare centers would be protected from being exposed if they operated inside California.

The enemy truly is within. When our politicians would rather protect fraudsters and illegal migrants, it’s time for us to stand up or face mass oppression from the traitors who “rule” over us.

If you care about financial privacy, then this is probably the most important research you will read all year.

The Dutch Court of Audits has released a paper on the effectiveness of AML measures, and lo-and-behold: it found that there is no evidence that AML actually works.

These laws are what are used to debank law-abiding citizens, throw developers in prison, surveil every transaction you make, and collect your identity in central databases that end up hacked.

Governments have built a complete and total surveillance dragnet around your finances under the guise of AML, and this Dutch Court just said the quiet part out loud:

AML is discriminatory, overly expensive, and we have no proof of it stopping crime.

[Yogi @Houseofyogi]

No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism.

You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like.

Bro.

You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai.

You live in a constitutional republic.

Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested.

The modern left's definition of fascism:

You love your country? Fascist.

You want to enforce the border? Racist.

You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot.

You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow.

Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left.

But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country.

But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them.

Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected.

Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin.

Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao.

Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon.

Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII.

Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini.

Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign.

Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote.

But Trump is the king. Okay buddy.

You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours.
And Saturday they had you in the streets carrying their water.

The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned.

No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968.

Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote.

During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant.

But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression.

The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration.

Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check.

That's how you keep power without wearing a crown.

Biden built a censorship machine.

Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire."

They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho...

Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley.

And it doesn't stop at speech.

The extreme left justifies taking children from families.

Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene.

The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father.

Same playbook.

During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital.

But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously.

$2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings.

January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings.

Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided.

Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated.

CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up.

75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable.

Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me."

Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated.

One side talks. The other side screams.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched with you Saturday.

Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. Marxism.

The system that killed a hundred million people last century. They had you holding their signs while they said it out loud.

500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs. The signs were ready before you were angry.

The money leads to Neville Roy Singham. Billionaire in Shanghai. Attends CCP workshops. Funnels millions through shell companies at UPS mailboxes. Three Congressional committees have subpoenaed him as a suspected CCP foreign agent.

You thought you were fighting for democracy. You were carrying water for Beijing.

"Liberals are leaving the First Amendment behind." Spoken by the ACLU lawyer who defended Nazis in court because it was their constitutional right.

Bill Clinton put 100,000 cops on the street. Reformed welfare. Said illegal immigration is wrong to a standing ovation. Told America the era of big government is over.

Today his own party would call him a fascist.

The 1990s Democrat defended free speech for Nazis. Yours censors doctors for telling the truth.

The 1990s Democrat held open primaries. Yours installed a nominee without a vote.

The 1990s Democrat trusted parents. Yours takes their children.

Historians measure fascism across eight traits. Here's who checks the boxes in 2026:

Censorship of political opposition. Democrats.

Contempt for democratic process. Democrats.

Tolerance of political violence. Democrats.

State ideology forced on families. Democrats.

Corporate-state fusion. Democrats.

Scapegoating and manufactured enemies. Both sides.

Cult of personality. Both sides.

Ultranationalism. Republicans.

Five for the left. One for the right. Two shared.

You marched against kings on Saturday.

You marched FOR kings.

You just didn't know which was which.

Stop being gaslit.

I hope you understand what's at stake.

[Cole Walmsley @Cole_Walmsley]

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.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

The soaring cost of living is suffocating, but let’s not pretend that this is some unstoppable phenomenon.

This is caused by politicians, and it can be solved by politicians - just different politicians who have the courage to do what needs to be done, however unpopular that may be.

Above all else, we need to brutalise the size of the state. I mean brutalise. Like nothing that has ever been seen. A public sector bonfire that is visible from space - that is what Restore Britain would do.

We would deliver a Britain that lives within its means. In fact, we would be forced to go further. The immediate priority has to be paying off the national debt. Vast interest repayments on that debt are a boot on Britain’s neck. Billions and billions, just spent on interest. No household could live like that, so why can we allow the country to do so?

This is debt in our name. It's on us. Our children and grandchildren. What an inheritance that is.

We need to cut the debt, not just the deficit.

I am going to be entirely honest here. That will be painful - really, really painful. There are no easy solutions, no easy times. We had that, and it’s led us here. To hard times. We now need hard solutions. That’s just the honest truth. Don’t like it? Don’t vote Restore Britain. I’m not promising some utopia like the others. I’m telling the truth. What a mad idea that is.

There is one answer, and one answer only.

Hack down the size of the state, and drastically reduce tax. Bring it all down, in a way that’s never been seen before in Britain.

And yes, that will mean the state does less. GOOD. I want hardworking families to keep more of THEIR money, and they can decide how it’s spent. Thresholds raised, rates slashed. VAT, alcohol duty, fuel duty - all cut. Resist the stealth taxes they all pretend don’t exist. We will REWARD work.

I think the state is bad.

I think the individual is good.

I trust the individual to make the decisions that are best for them and their family. I do not trust the bureaucrat to spend your money in the best possible way. Do you?

Growth only comes from the following things.

A far smaller state. Lower taxes. More people working. Fewer people scrounging. Cheaper energy. Stronger borders. A secure society. Actual production.

I want the Government to do a very small list of things, but to do them very well.

Protect our people, protect our borders, protect our interests. Other than that, no thanks.

That is the only way to get the cost of living under control, there is no other way.

We must crush parasitic Britain.

There is now a political party dedicated to doing exactly that.

Restore Britain.

How to legally insider trade 101: Join Congress

You wake up at 5am. You put on a hard hat or a badge or scrubs. You drive to a job that doesn't care if you slept. You do it again tomorrow.

You've been putting $100 a month into your 401k since you were 26. You don't pick stocks. You buy an index fund because that's what they told you to do.

You get 8% a year if you're lucky. That's the deal. That's what regular people get.

Some months you check the balance and it's down and you feel it in your chest. That's your kid's college. That's your retirement. That's every time you told your wife "not this month."

You don't get to cheat. You don't know anyone. You just keep putting in the $100.

Congress doesn't play by those rules.

September 2008. Lehman Brothers just collapsed. The Treasury Secretary and the Fed chairman pull congressional leaders into an emergency room. So classified they take everyone's phones at the door. They tell the room the entire global financial system could collapse in days.

Congressman Spencer Bachus is in that room. He's the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee. Literally the guy in charge of overseeing Wall Street.

He walks out. Next morning he buys options that pay double when the market crashes.

Sells days later. Profit.

Same year, the Pelosis are sitting on shares of Visa they got at the IPO. She blocks a credit card reform bill. She's working for her bags. Visa pumps 2x. She makes bank. The market crashes 15%.

10 million families lost their homes. Housing dropped 27%. $4.2 trillion in household wealth just gone. Your parents' house is underwater. Your retirement is cut in half. People are losing everything.

Nobody in Congress lost anything.

Zero prosecutions. No consequences.

So what'd they do? They did it again.

January 2020. Classified Senate briefing on COVID. Most Americans haven't even heard the word yet.

Senator Richard Burr walks out and writes a public op-ed. America is "better prepared than ever." Everything's fine folks.

Then he dumps up to $1.7 million in stock. 33 trades. One day.

Your portfolio was at an all-time high that week. You didn't touch it. Why would you. You trusted the people running the country.

Two weeks later Burr is behind closed doors telling rich donors the truth. This virus is "much more aggressive than anything we've seen in recent history."

He told you it was fine. He told them to get out.

S&P 500 drops 34% in five weeks. Your savings of 20 years wiped in half. Just gone. Obliterated.

You're sanitizing groceries in the garage wondering if your parents are gonna make it.

Senator Kelly Loeffler is reallocating millions after her classified briefing. Senator Feinstein's husband dumps up to $6 million in late January.

1.1 million people died. And four senators were trading on classified pandemic briefings.

No hedge fund had that intel. No pension fund. No financial advisor. Nobody. Just them. Just the people in that room.

DOJ opened investigations. Quietly closed all of them. Burr finished his term. Retired with a full pension.

You buried your grandmother and watched your retirement account crater. They sold at the top.

Now look at this.

Your savings grow 8% a year.

Average hedge fund, where you need a million bucks just to get in the door. 6 to 11% a year.

Top 50 hedge funds on the planet. Smartest money alive. Billions in computing power. 12.4% a year.

Warren Buffett. Greatest investor who ever lived. 20% a year.

Nancy Pelosi walked into Congress in 1987 with a portfolio worth $700,000. She's worth $240 million now. Her net worth is 40 times her entire lifetime government salary. 350x return.

In 2024 alone her portfolio gained 71%. The S&P did 25%. She beat all of them. Every hedge fund. Every quant. Buffett. Everyone. On a government salary.

Before they get power their returns are normal. After? Their trades start predicting earnings announcements before they happen.

ITS A RIGGED SYSTEM.

You get 8%.

They get whatever they want. Because they write the rules.

ABOVE THE LAW.

PERFECT CHEAT CODE.

Now think about this.

What if you insider trade once, whether on purpose or by accident?

A guy in Houston overheard his wife on a Zoom call about a company acquisition. Bought stock. Made $1.76 million. FBI showed up. Two years federal prison. Career gone. Wife gone. His lawyer told the judge he will never work again.

Martha Stewart. Avoided a $45,000 loss. Five months in prison.

Max sentence for insider trading is 20 years. Median is 30 months.

The penalty for a member of Congress who violates the STOCK Act. $200.

$200 fricking dollars.

78 members violated it in the last Congress alone.

Nobody got prosecuted.

Number of members of Congress ever prosecuted for trading on legislative knowledge in the entire history of the United States. Zero.

86% of Americans want to ban congressional stock trading.

Can't even get a vote on it.

Because the people who'd have to vote for the ban are the ones making money off it.

This whole economy. $30 trillion. Built by the people waking up early and putting in the $100 a month and wearing the hard hat and the badge and the scrubs.

You built it. You played by the rules. You got 8%.

535 people who never built a thing in their lives are skimming the top with information they didn't earn and immunity they gave themselves.

That's the system. Its pure crime. Hypocrisy of the highest level.

Insider trading for me. Prison for thee.

So you want to insider trade and maybe pay a $200 fine? Join Congress and work for your bags.

[Brotherhood @DiggingInTheDi1]

Think of just how improbable it is for this many global companies to select Indians as CEOs by pure merit

For this to happen, Indians would have to be so much more competent than Whites, Asians, Jews, etc that they dominate all measures of performance

Instead:

- Highest rank at ICPC international programming contest: 59 out of 144
- Highest performance on PISA international school testing: 73 out of 74
- Number of notable Indian game studios: 0
- Number of globally recognizable megacorps originating in India: 0
- Number of academic Nobel Prizes won by Indians in India in the last 25 years: 0

Now repeat this test for Whites or Asians and you get the exact pattern you would expect

Indians simply took over these companies through nepotistic fraud, on a scale few are able to comprehend
