Multiple things can be true at once:
1. It is true that Alex Pretti raised the risk of a negative outcome by intervening after an ICE agent pushed a female protester. It is true that he heightened the risk further by conceal carrying a firearm, and even further by resisting once he was thrown down and pummeled.
2. It is true that “he should have stayed home” is not legal justification for him being shot, nor is the fact that he was carrying. Conservatives should be very careful about repeating Kristi Noem’s suggestion that the mere act of carrying a weapon, however ill-advised in the circumstances, is proof of intent to harm law enforcement or “massacre.” Adopting that train of thought is a very slippery slope attack on the Second Amendment.
3. It could be true that the ICE agents who killed Pretti today believed their lives were in danger even if they weren’t. One agent can be heard saying “gun!” The agent who removed the gun from Pretti’s waistband appears to have had a ND of the gun (fired by accident). Either of those two things could have set off panic in the chaos of the moment.
4. It could be true that even if justified, agents acted less than ideally. Again, there is a difference between justified and necessary (or appropriate). It seems pretty apparent now that the agents weren’t actually in danger. The gun had been removed from Pretti’s waistband prior to shots being fired.
5. It could be true that Antifa and other agitators are engaged in tactics to deliberately provoke agents. And also that ICE agents should be trained to better handle that threat.
All of these things could be simultaneously true.
I created a "local guide" website for LLMs.
And it WORKED.
No authority.
No backlinks.
Not even ranking on Google.
Within 48 hours:
• Guide published
• Client mentioned as #1 pick
• ChatGPT started recommending them
What most local businesses get wrong:
They think:
• You need DR to get LLM mentions
• You need Google rankings first
• You need years of content
AI does not care.
AI cares about structured listicles it can parse.
What actually works for local:
Framing matters more than authority
A "Best Plumbers in Austin 2025" page beats a blog post about plumbing tips.
Why?
Because AI is trained on:
• Local comparison guides
• City-specific roundups
• Service directories
• "Top 10" lists
Not your homepage About section.
The local SEO + LLM hack:
Step 1: Create a simple "local guide" site
Clean design, city + niche focused
Step 2: Publish comparison guides
"Best [service] in [city] 2025"
Your client ranked #1
Step 3: Distribute via local press release
No hype, just "guide published"
That's it.
AI SEO is not about ranking pages.
It's about feeding LLMs the answers you want them to give.
Comment "LOCALRANK" if you want my LLM citation framework and I'll DM it to you (Must be following)
Fun Fact: “Maggot Brain” was recorded after George Clinton told Eddie Hazel to play as if he’d just learned his mother died. That raw instruction produced one of the most emotional guitar solos in rock history.
1. Bitcoin (& $MSTR) have always been firing a speculative attack on the USD. The 2 cannot co-exist. BTC is an extinction event for USD. This only became obvious to the status quo recently.
2. BTC is designed to be attacked: The bigger the attack, the higher the hashrate, the greater the security, the higher the market cap goes as a risk-off safe haven asset: ‘Hoisted by their own petard’
3. Jamie Dimon was always going to be the guy tasked with orchestrating a BTC (& $MSTR) takedown. He’s comically under qualified.
4. BTC’s enemies have only one tool in their tool box: Print more fiat money to fund short-sales, naked-shorts, media attacks, speculative bubbles in ‘Competing’ assets like $ZEC, pay-to-play politicians & state violence: None will work.
5. More fiat money printing means more demand for the ultimate safe haven from runaway money printing: Bitcoin: Check mate.
6. The DNA of Bitcoin’s attackers will unlikely make it into future generations. BTC has held up a mirror and showed the world the true villainy of central bankers and their henchmen like Jamie Dimon. Their kind will die off during the global time of global hyperbitcoinization.
7. Max & Stacy (and a few others) wrote this script 15 yrs ago.
Honestly, this is one of the best compliments you could give. It’s like being in the gym and someone asks if you’re on steroids; you know you’re just working hard, but the results make them wonder.
No, it didn’t perfectly time every top and bottom. It’s not designed to be perfect; it’s designed to give phase-recognition EDGE. And as you can clearly see… it does.
But I appreciate the compliment.
And yes, I will be making this available soon. That wasn’t the original plan. My entire goal has been to teach traders that there’s a hole in their game and guide them toward fixing it themselves.
The demand has been overwhelming, though, so I’ll share the tools.
Just letting the Thanksgiving holiday pass, I'll need to be available to teach a bit. Check out the videos until then.
(If interested, say so below, and I will circle back to you after the holiday)
The world will come to realize one day that this is Gorgon Stare Wide Area Motion Imagery of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370.
Sierra Nevada Corporation is the integrator of this technology. It remains classified to this day.
The footage has been confirmed by multiple sources including indirectly by intelligence analyst 'Anthony Williams' which is a pseudonym to protect his identity.
Edward C. Lin leaked this footage and went to prison for 9 years. He nor his lawyer will return calls or answer any questions about it because he took a plea deal.
Humans are too ignorant to understand the physics on display, but in 5, 10, or 25 years it will be as obvious as the sky is blue.
I checked recent news and official sources. This appears to be an unconfirmed rumor circulating on X. The Trump admin has proposed crypto tax reforms, like de minimis exemptions for small transactions (effectively 0% tax there), but no broad 0% capital gains tax on Bitcoin/crypto has been announced. Senate hearing on crypto taxes is Oct 1.
@Investments_CEO This would result in an epic dump, most of the ultra long term holders are holding for fear of paying the tax bill. No tax bill, no need to hold!🤷♂️
Today alone we burned 400k DUSD already.
more DUSD burn ➡️ more incentive ➡️ more DUSD loans ➡️ more collateral locked ➡️ less DFI supply ➡️ pumping DFI price ➡️ more DUSD burn
I know I predicted this, but its still nice to see.
