Let me explain what just happened 👇
5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.
5 minutes…
These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.
There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.
Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.
American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.
This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.
This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.
You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.
Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.
The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…
Yeah, so basically the current prevailing schizo internet theory is that AI nerds have destroyed the internet and created infinite spam.
The advertisement goons are now incapable of determining who is a bot and who is an actual human. The advertisement goons no longer want to pay as much to social media networks.
Social media networks, in full blown panic of losing potential revenue, decided to lobby governments saying "we gotta protect the kids! ID everyone to protect the kids from pedophiles!".
The social media networks know this doesn't really protect kids. But, it does two things (and a third accidentally).
1. They now can identify who is human and who is AI slop machine, or enough to appease the advertisement goons
2. Advertising to children is a general no-no from politicians, or something, so with ID verification they can say with confidence they're not advertising to children because it's been ID verification. Basically, they can weed out the children and focus on advertising to adults
3. The feds can now tell who is human and who is AI slop. This inadvertently helps them with tracking people and serving fresh daily dumps of propaganda, or whatever they want to do.
It's a win-win-win for advertisers, social media networks, the government, and any business which does data collections.
It fucks over everyone else.
Chat, I'm not going to lie to you. This is an extremely good conspiracy schizo theory and I unironically believe it.
Age gating laws are really just tools to enable pedophiles to target children more effectively.
None of these laws have any serious controls over developer access to this information or what they do with it.
It's absolutely disgusting that countries like the UK and States like CA are pushing for this data collection.
It's a kid database.
The Linux X11/Wayland graphics conspiracy, for non computer geeks.
TL;DR: There’s a weird conspiracy going on in Linux with how pixels are drawn, and we don’t know why yet, but corporations are acting BIZARRE. As they say, where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
The way graphics is commonly done on Linux is undergoing radical change. For over a decade X11 (we like weird names) was the standard way to draw the user interface elements on Linux.
About a decade ago this all changed with a new way-of-doing-things called “wayland”.
An app written in wayland is not compatible with X11. Still with me? This caused havoc in the app world. I know, because my fellow engineers at Google bitched about how wayland graphics was totally incompatible with X11 but being forced anyway.
Fast forward a decade.
X11 has essentially be choked to death. Red Hat (a linux maker who now is the caretaker of X11) is refusing to accept fixes for known bugs. Essentially software donations. And not just refusing one or two fixes, but over a 1000.
Obviously this causes our spider senses to tingle. But let’s not jump into a conspiracy right?
Well late last week that all changed.
One of the prominent engineers decided to fix all the problems of X11 by: (1) forking the project and (2) accepting 1000+ bug fixes.
This is all pretty standard stuff on the open source world. However there was a twist: the X11 fork would be DEI free and gone too was the toxic woke “code of conduct”.
What came next is shocking:
RedHat and Ubuntu went APESHIT
Red hat banned the software developer from the original X11 repo. But went further with Purging 1000+ community fixes that hadn’t been merged yet. Too late though, it’s already been forked!!
Ubuntu (the most popular flavor of linux) in the span of 72 hours announced that they were purging the X11 graphics driver from every future release.
The amount of coordination and pressure being applied to kill this boring legacy graphics driver is absolutely bizarre, and no one knows why.
But oh boy, can we speculate…
Profit? Control? Surveillance?
This would have been a fringe conspiracy a decade ago.
Now it’s becoming clear there is some agenda in play: X11 must die and must be replaced by the wayland graphics driver.
I’m sure it will become clear. We are in the age of whistleblowers and leaks.
If you are a country outside the United States my advice is this: audit wayland and be hyper vigilant. It’s starting to look like wayland is some sort of intelligence backdoor/trojan horse to compromise your system.
