The Epstein files are so evil that there is no way to talk about them to a normie without sounding totally out of your mind.

Now, I want you to imagine the effects on children born in 2020 when you wore a mask for two years.

In 1975, developmental psychologist Dr. Edward Tronick sat a mother and her baby face to face and filmed what happened when the mother suddenly stopped responding. First the mother plays normally, smiling, talking, making eye contact. The baby mirrors everything, laughing, pointing, babbling back. Then the mother goes blank. No expression, no response, nothing. Within seconds the baby notices. She smiles harder. Points. Waves. Screeches. Uses every tool she has to get her mother back. When nothing works, she turns away, loses control of her posture, and collapses into herself with what Tronick described as “a withdrawn, hopeless facial expression.” The moment the mother re-engages, the baby recovers almost instantly. Three minutes of emotional absence from a parent did that to an infant. It became one of the most replicated findings in developmental psychology. This was 1975, before smartphones existed. Now look around any park, restaurant, or living room. How many babies are looking up at a parent who is scrolling instead of looking back?

This is how Congress operates.

All your conspiracy theories ended up being true and the people you told them to still think you’re retarded

Don’t stop trying because it didn’t work. It never works the first time.

Kind of a tangent but: One thing very important to think about whenever you are trying to accurately detect patterns based on limited data (online or otherwise) is whether it’s “a canary in a coal mine” or “the exception that proves the rule” For me personally, back in 2011 when i first saw videos of cops using what i perceived to be excessive force, i thought it was the former. “imagine how much they are doing this where we don’t see it! ACAB!” However after watching enough videos (fun fact: i actually had a Facebook page where i would post police shootings daily trying to bring awareness to the issue but then ran out in only a few months) and doing deep dives into the whole story on cases like Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin, I realized it’s the opposite. If you took a random sample of 1,000 full body cams of police encounters that ended in violence (which is probably only 1% of all police encounters), you would find that: ~95% were totally justified, 4% you didn’t like but are technically legal (and you would begrudgingly accept them as justified after watching the 950 times where some wacko went crazy on the cop and they responded in a way you totally agreed as fair), and only 1% of the time you would genuinely believe were excessive force and bad. We never see the 99% of times where there wasn’t violence because no one cares. Of the 1% where there is violence, we never see the 95% where everyone would agree it was justified because also no one cares. We do see the 1% of the 1% where it was clear cut that the cop used excessive force but it quickly gets forgotten about because everyone agrees and thus there is nothing to discuss. We however ALWAYS see the 4% and talk about them for YEARS because they are a rorschach test for our bias and generate the most amount of engagement and attention and debate. Thus, what appears to “empathetic people” to be a problem with 90%+ of police encounters because they think the videos are a canary in a coal machine, is actually a problem with 0.01% or less because they are the exception that proves the rule. It is worth asking yourself where society and (your own life) have this heuristic inverted such as this.

Current situation: 1. Stocks = Record high 2. Gold = Record high 3. Silver = Record high 4. Home Prices = Record high 5. Copper = Record high 6. Platinum = Record high 7. Money Market Funds = Record high 8. US Debt = Record high 9. Deficit Spending = Record high 10. Household Debt = Record high When everything hits a record high at the same exact time, it's not a coincidence. Fiat currencies are depreciating.

Greenland is becoming geopolitically priceless for USA Why Greenland suddenly matters? Earlier, Arctic was frozen, Sea routes unusable, No one cared much Now, Ice is melting, Arctic sea routes are opening, Ships can move between - Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean through the Arctic This makes the Arctic a new global highway. Greenland sits right in the middle of this. Geography shocker most people miss ( Very Strategic location) Greenland is much closer to the US than to Denmark. Distance from Washington DC to Nuuk is less than Nuuk to Copenhagen So, US sees Greenland as a direct security zone. Denmark is far away, US is next door. China is already Part owner in a Greenland mining company, Trying to enter Arctic trade routes Russia - Arctic neighbor, Long-standing polar military presence As Arctic opens up - US fears China entering its backyard, Greenland becomes the choke point. US military already controls Greenland security Important fact >> In 1951, US and Denmark signed a treaty - US is responsible for Greenland’s defense US maintains - Pituffik Space Base (earlier Thule Air Base), Part of NORAD missile and space tracking system So, US already acts like Greenland is strategic territory. Trump wants formal control, not just presence Dark Cold War history there - Two shocking facts. Nuclear weapons scandal Denmark had banned nuclear weapons on its soil. Later discovered - US had secretly stationed nukes in Greenland 1968 nuclear crash - US B-52 bomber crashed near Thule, Carrying four hydrogen bombs, One bomb was never found, Radiation spread occurred This shows - Greenland has long been part of nuclear strategy How big Greenland really is? This is where people underestimate it badly. Greenland area About 21.6 lakh sq km India area About 32.8 lakh sq km So, Greenland is two-thirds the size of India, Only 56,000 people live there. Bigger than India’s 10 largest states combined. Largest island in the world. Minerals are the hidden gold. Greenland has 25 out of 34 critical minerals. Needed for - Defense systems, EV batteries, Chips, Modern technology Earlier, Ice made mining impossible Now, Melting ice, Easier access, Lower cost. This makes Greenland strategic treasure. Political status of Greenland. Greenland is Part of Denmark But high autonomy Timeline: 1979: Home rule 2009: Right to independence if people choose Now: Strong independence sentiment Own parliament Own government This year: Greenland may vote on independence This creates a window of opportunity. Trump’s calculation Trump sees - Denmark is weak on control, Greenland wants independence, China is moving in, Arctic is opening So he thinks - Make an offer Greenland cannot refuse Or strike a deal during transition If US pays Denmark - Looks colonial, If US pays Greenlanders directly - Each citizen becomes multi-millionaire Some estimates - Deal value up to $1.7 trillion This is not new for America US history - Louisiana Purchase, Alaska purchase from Russia. Alaska was mocked then. Today it is priceless. Trump sees Greenland as The next Alaska

The Venezuela plot thickens: While Venezuela holds 303 BILLION barrels of oil reserves, much of this is HEAVY crude oil. Texas and Louisiana also *happen* to have 6 of the LARGEST HEAVY crude oil refineries in the world. What does this mean? Let us explain. (a thread)

I think about decisions in three ways: hats, haircuts, and tattoos. Most decisions are like hats. Try one and if you don’t like it, put it back and try another. The cost of a mistake is low, so move quickly and try a bunch of hats. Some decisions are like haircuts. You can fix a bad one, but it won’t be quick and you might feel foolish for a while. That said, don't be scared of a bad haircut. Trying something new is usually a risk worth taking. If it doesn't work out, by this time next year you will have moved on and so will everyone else. A few decisions are like tattoos. Once you make them, you have to live with them. Some mistakes are irreversible. Maybe you'll move on for a moment, but then you'll glance in the mirror and be reminded of that choice all over again. Even years later, the decision leaves a mark. When you're dealing with an irreversible choice, move slowly and think carefully.

Today's NEW Dietary Guidelines deliver a clear, common-sense message to the American people: EAT REAL FOOD. The 2025–2030 Guidelines reestablish food — not pharmaceuticals — as the foundation of health and reclaim the food pyramid as a tool for nourishment and education.

I'm starting to detect a pattern.

Wait until they learn the U.S. government runs persistent deficits, finances them with debt, and the Fed, an independent hybrid institution, creates money to buy that debt, expanding the money supply and quietly creates another form of taxation - reducing purchasing power through inflation. 🥰

At some point, you realize that the government is just stealing your money and redistributing it to political allies whose role is to advocate for more government.
