@AmitSegal Finally, long overdue!
Will it apply retroactively to convicted terrorists?

@adamscochran "They’ve clamped down heavily on sharing footage of damage in Israel and so it’s hard to assess how bad the situation could be."
This couldn't be more detached from reality.. Israel is a small country..there is no way to cover up impacts..cellphones everywhere, no internet block

This is a BIG tell just not the one people think.
It’s likely Netanyahu isn’t dead.
BUT, it likely reveals the Iron Dome is either compromised or low on interceptors - AND that Israel had a *big* intelligence leak:
* Last week there were rumors that his relatives house was hit.
* We know US & allies are low on interceptors, regional radar is destroyed, patriot batteries have been hit.
* Since then Netanyahu has not appeared at any regularly scheduled locations like this meeting.
* His son, who lived in a known location in the US stoped tweeting.
* He is releasing videos AFTER being at a location, rather than any live video.
It’s likely Iran has been focused on targeting Netanyahu and his family as revenge for the Khamenei family.
A combination of intel gaps and weakened defences lead to him avoiding normal patterns and locations and his family going dark - but using pre-recorded video to act as if everything is normal.
Why?
Because if people knew Netanyahu was hiding, they’d realize that Iron Dom/Patriot defense systems are having issues or low on munitions and that could cause panic.
They’ve clamped down heavily on sharing footage of damage in Israel and so it’s hard to assess how bad the situation could be.
But Netanyahu changing up his behavior is a pretty big clue that it’s not great.
The reason for the weird behavior is they don’t want Iran realizing how bad the situation is.

Netanyahu today has missed his 7th straight security cabinet meeting. Everyone else is in attendance. Where the hell is Bibi?

So Netanyahu finally heard the rumor that he's dead. Turns out he's alive, and has 5 fingers in each hand.

@RhoRider facebook.com/share/r/18cKwQ… I love how Bibi let the rumors linger a little and then put out this video filmed in a Jerusalem hills cafe to expose the deranged antisemites as lunatics

@yaakovkatz @seanhannity Which is why it was a bit surprising that he went to take pictures with US AF pilots at Ovda.
English

Netanyahu is one of Israel’s most skilled communicators. So ask yourself: why has he barely spoken? No press conferences. No interviews since the one with @seanhannity on Monday. Since then — silence.
There are two reasons. First, he wants to avoid the perception that Israel is pushing the US to keep the war going. That narrative is dangerous. The Hannity interview was largely about neutralizing it.
Second, he knows that speaking too much right now risks friction with Trump. A public fight over credit helps no one. The more Trump feels he is leading and setting the pace, the longer the campaign is likely to continue. Anything that complicates that dynamic only works against Israel’s interests.

@CalebFranzen Weird thing I've noticed this week: Several no-coiners I've tried to convince in the past—who could never quite pull the trigger—are now reaching out asking where to buy Bitcoin (doesn't mean they will buy).
It's interesting how sentiment feels way worse inside CT vs externally

The federal prosecutors in Minnesota announced that the scale of suspected fraud in state-run social service programs may exceed $9 billion.
This figure is strikingly close to the entire GDP of Somalia, which was estimated at roughly $12 billionfor 2024 and projected to be approximately $13 billion for 2025.
Key details from the ongoing investigation include:
•Estimated Fraud Scale: First Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson stated on December 18, 2025, that at least half of the $18 billion provided for 14 Minnesota-run Medicaid and social service programs since 2018 may have been stolen.
•Comparison to Somalia's Economy: Media reports highlighted that the $9 billion estimate is nearly equivalent to Somalia's annual economic output.
•"Industrial-Scale" Fraud:Prosecutors described the activity as "staggering, industrial-scale fraud" involving numerous programs, including housing stabilization, autism therapy, and childcare services.
•Targeted Communities: While investigations have led to charges against many individuals of Somali descent, prosecutors noted that the schemes attracted bad actors from across the country due to how easily the programs could be scammed.
•International Money Trails:Investigators have traced some of the stolen funds to real estate investments in Nairobi, Kenya, and indicated that some money may have flowed indirectly to Somalia, although they emphasized there is no evidence that the defendants intended to fund terrorist organizations like Al-Shabaab.
•Background Case: This estimate follows the well-known Feeding Our Future case, which previously accounted for approximately $250 million in siphoned pandemic relief funds.

@dotkrueger With the benefits of another month plus of price action would you agree that this is likely what's actually happening right now?

@jvisserlabs I think this will have to be re-addressed when we get a ripping bull market which i expect soon

$BTCUSD Technical support area 73.7K-76.5K

Volatility dropping on $BTCUSD. Volatility is cyclical. High volatility is followed by low volatility and vice versa. If this is a counter trend move against the drop from the completion of broadening top, it can be analyzed as a bear flag. BTCUSD continues to look for a bottom.

JUST IN: Naveed Akram is an IDF soldier that served in Gaza and returned to Australia. Today, he lost his mind and killed 12 jews.
English

Want to see how Jew hatred literally kills brain cells?
There is a widespread conspiracy going around now that Israel knew or carried out the Bondi attack.
Why?
Because the terrorists names were Googled in Israel at 9 am. And since the attack didn’t happen until later, it must be that Israel knew.
Because when you are consumed with such Jew hatred, clearly times zones are a concept too hard for you to comprehend.
I am not joking. This is a thing. Many people actually believe this.
I don’t even know what to say.
Oh, by the way, by their logic, South Carolina also knew. As did the UK. And Indonesia. And Afghanistan.
What a bunch of… I don’t know even know what word to use.
