The jaws of a carefully set trap are closing on @kajakallas.

Fitting somehow if it's this, the first good thing she's actually done in office - stating an undeniable truth that the entire world knows, but which the EU cannot bring itself to say - that she gets sacked for.

@thesiriusreport Trump will tell us he is the new supreme leader of Iran and will sign the the deal with himself...

@pdegrauwe Heeft u nu net de Laffer curve ontdekt?

[Seth For Privacy @sethforprivacy]

No Monero folks should be looking to dunk on Zcash because of Zooko's post. He did the right thing and was honest about exploitation being undetectable.

We (Monero) have had our own inflation bugs that have thankfully also been resolved, it's a natural downside to building out privacy as the default in these systems.

The important things are:

1. Fixing them quickly
2. Working with stakeholders quickly
3. Being honest and transparent about them so the ecosystem as a whole can learn and improve

@tyler Why don't you guys list Monero?

[tdrud @tdrud]

@thefrankbraun @degendeez Fundamentals like it not being used where it should be embraced? Because ...
checks notes...

People believe there's a not so small chance it has been compromised.

Wonder why...

I do feel for the Russians. There is a deep sadness. Russia is part of Europe. Their history and literature is embedded in the cannon of Western art. Putin is sad. Medvedev is becoming psychotic. Dugin is going crazy. And they speak for the Russians I meet in Moscow. They are sad that Europe wants to reject them. They don't want to escalate. Because they are European. But the incomentant British Foreign Office. And EU commision are pushing them to do so.

I love Paris. I love Rome. I love Moscow. I was born in the most beautiful European city of all. Edinburgh. In Scotland. It breaks my heart to see whats happening to Europe now. Two world wars. And they still don't get it. Great power wars in Europe. Only brings ruin to us all.

[Grey Rabbit Finance 🥕 @GreyRabbitFin]

Kevin Warsh the newly appointed Federal Reserve Chair has quietly brought on a key adviser who authored the Project 2025 chapter on the Federal Reserve.
That adviser is Paul Winfree.

Here is an excerpt from the 900 page "Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise 2025” published by The Heritage Foundation. Chapter 24, written by Winfree, lays out the case for radical monetary reform.

Got Gold?

Let's decode what actually happened here.

Axios reported that Trump exploded at Netanyahu. Called him "fucking crazy." Said "you'd be in prison if it weren't for me." Said "everybody hates you now."

The journalist is Barak Ravid again, we talked about it. Israeli. Based in Washington. Covers the Netanyahu-US relationship for Axios, and every latest deals to calm the markets.

This is the same journalist who wrote the exact same type of story about Biden. There is literally a book chapter about this pattern. It is called "Fuming Biden." The same reporter. The same format. The same function. Different president.

Now watch the response.

Mark Levin, a close ally of both Trump and Netanyahu, did not deny the story. He demanded an FBI investigation into who leaked it. When your defense is "this should never have leaked" instead of "this never happened," you have confirmed the call happened.

But here is the part that matters.

Why would Levin, a friend to BOTH men, confirm the most explosive account of their relationship ever published?

Because it serves both.

Trump gets to look tough. Not Netanyahu's puppet. Willing to put Israel in its place. His base loves it.

Netanyahu gets cover. He "paused" the Beirut strike, but not because Iran threatened him. Because his "friend" asked him to. His base loves it too.

And look at what actually changed on the ground. Nothing.

Israel cancelled the Beirut strike. But the ground invasion of Lebanon continues. The IDF is still miles deep. A soldier died today from a Hezbollah drone. Netanyahu's office said: "position unchanged."

The performance was perfect. Trump gets the headline. Netanyahu gets the cover. The deal gets another 48 hours of "progress." Markets get a reason to breathe.

And the war continues exactly as planned.

This is the same playbook. Every time public opinion turns against the war, a story appears showing the US president is "furious" with Israel. It creates the illusion of restraint while changing nothing.

Biden was "furious" for 14 months. The war never stopped.

Trump is "furious" now. The ground invasion is expanding.

The visible game is: Trump controls Netanyahu.
The real game is: both men are performing for their audiences while the machine moves forward.

Nothing has been signed. Nothing has stopped. The war is not winding down. It is being managed.

Neither one controls the other. They walk arm in arm. Know that.
