Wtf is happening

The woman America forgot on purpose. September 2001. The Twin Towers had just fallen. The FBI was buried under years of untranslated wiretaps—foreign language intercepts from people they were actively watching. Conversations that might have stopped the attack, never read. Warnings that might have saved lives, sitting in boxes. They needed translators. Fast. Sibel Edmonds was 31. Iranian-born. Turkish-raised. American by choice. She spoke Turkish, Farsi, and Azerbaijani fluently. She passed the background check. Got top-secret clearance. Started translating the most sensitive intelligence the Bureau had. Six months later, she was gone. Here's what happened. She discovered something impossible to ignore. Intercepts were being mistranslated. Documents involving active investigations were disappearing. A colleague had foreign connections that made her a security risk. The translation system designed to prevent another 9/11 was being sabotaged from the inside. She did everything right. Wrote internal memos. Reported it to her supervisors. When they told her to stay quiet, she went higher. In March 2002, she wrote directly to FBI Director Robert Mueller. Laid out everything she'd seen. Two weeks later, they fired her. Called it performance issues. She refused to disappear quietly. Hired a lawyer. Filed whistleblower complaints. Tried to testify before Congress. Tried to tell the 9/11 Commission what she knew. Then the government made her vanish. In May 2004, Attorney General John Ashcroft did something almost unprecedented in American history. He invoked the State Secrets Privilege over her entire FBI experience. Retroactively classified everything. What she saw. What she said. Even the languages she translated. Even where she was born. If she repeated in public what she'd already said in unclassified Senate testimony, she could go to prison for life under the Espionage Act. Her wrongful termination lawsuit? Dismissed. The court said proceeding would reveal state secrets. The Supreme Court refused to hear her case. No explanation. The 9/11 Commission wanted to interview her. They were blocked. She became, in the words of civil liberties advocates, the most gagged person in United States history. Now think about the whistleblowers whose names you do know. Edward Snowden. Chelsea Manning. Daniel Ellsberg. Reality Winner. They have documentaries. Books. Movies. Some ran. Some went to prison. All of them got their stories told. Sibel Edmonds came before them all. Was silenced more completely than any of them. And most Americans have never heard her name. In 2004, the Department of Justice's own Inspector General released his report. Glenn Fine—the man whose job is to investigate when the government lies—confirmed it. He found serious mismanagement in the FBI translation unit. Security concerns about the colleague she'd named. Evidence her firing was retaliation. Real problems with how foreign intelligence was being handled. The government's own internal watchdog said she was telling the truth. It didn't matter. The gag order was permanent. The lawsuits were dismissed. The report became one more thing she wasn't allowed to discuss. She started the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition to help others who'd been silenced. Wrote a memoir in 2012—every single page scrubbed of what she's forbidden to say. Twenty-three years later, she has never testified under oath in open court. She has never been allowed to tell her full story. She is alive. In America. Today. She still cannot speak. Most forgotten stories fade by accident. By time. By the slow erosion of memory. This one was forgotten on purpose. By signature. By executive order. By an Attorney General who decided one woman's testimony about FBI failures was too dangerous for Americans to hear. Edward Snowden's name survived because he fled and the world watched. Daniel Ellsberg's survived because the Pentagon Papers were published. Sibel Edmonds' name is fading because she did it the right way. Reported through proper channels. Trusted the system. And the system erased her. She cannot tell her story. The only way her name survives is if we tell it for her. Now you know. Say her name, or the silence wins.

A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper. Her name is Audrey van der Meer. She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth. The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time. Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen. Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task. When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once. The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected. When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely. Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG. Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events. The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem. Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next. Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve. Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews. Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad. Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page. A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched. The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall. The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down. The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page. That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it. Two studies. Two countries. Same answer. Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast. Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth. You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick. The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew. Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.

There’s currently a 1 in 1.5 BILLION (0.000000065%) chance the average American will get Ebola this year. You’re 1,228 times more likely to get struck by lightning this year than catch Ebola. Don't be fooled by the mass media.

@rnewton7777 @larryvc

Good question. I think right now about 5,000 of the shares are from what I would call "non GME" money. GME money being money I worked overtime for from 2021 to now (still finding ways to earn fun money for GME even now) or made by swing trading and options. So right now I have a debit to pay back to make sure I'm only using "house money" on GME.

Let's go @larryvc ! 92,000 GME! Not bad considering I had ~13,000 just over two years ago.

Former Texas lottery director Gary Grief and the Texas Lottery Commission have been criminally charged with misusing their positions in a $95 million Lotto Texas draw in which the agency assisted international gamblers engineer a guaranteed win, earning tens of millions in profits at the expense of ordinary players. bit.ly/4dpRftR

If you haven't figured it out by now

Wednesday night is AMC THEATERS NIGHT in Burlington MA ✨🎥🕵️🎼🎬🍿🦍😊💯🥤

🔥Even normies can't unsee this:

Here's a video I made three years ago showing Fauci lying or flip flopping about EVERYTHING during the pandemic. You name it, big or small, Fauci lied about it.

@Venturinglist @NPjpk @ryancohen Good point, especially if they get shorted heavily again and are very cheap.

@Bamber413 @NPjpk @ryancohen Let’s not forget, his pay is actually the opportunity to spend even more of his own money to buy more shares.

$GME Dilution explained once and for all. WOULD YOU RATHER: 1. Own 100% of a $1M company, where your stake is worth $1M -or- 2. Own 10% of a $100M company, where your stake is worth $10M? You were diluted 90% but your value multiplied 10X. Like and share for others to see.

@avy3n All very good corners, but no C. Gonzalez?????? What a joke.

top 10 CBs

@NPjpk @Venturinglist @ryancohen He has to hit EBITDA goals also to get his pay, not just market cap.

@Venturinglist @ryancohen is doing this to fing unlock his god damn payday. End of story. WTF does he need more shares? He doesn’t, the company has 9 billion fing dollars

@AmcApe_ @Ryan__Rigg AMC dilutes so they can make their debt payments while losing $100+million every quarter. GME is diluting so they can buy an already profitable business. Big difference.

@Ryan__Rigg Lmao. Let me guess, dilution is good for gamestop. Only bad when Adam arno does it. Am I right

$GME GameStop will be asking stockholders to vote to approve an amendment to increase the number of authorized shares to 2.5B, as well as, approve Ryan Cohen's performance award #GME New SEC Pre-14A filing sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archiv…

@GregIsKitty Not going to be allowed to happen. Stock would be halted, buy button shut off. Kenny has too many connections in high places. His buddies aren't going to allow him to go bankrupt and let a bunch of apes become instant multi-millionaires. It's going to be a sloass like Tesla.

Bear with me on this 2.5 billion share issuance proposal… And yes, before you begin in the comments: 1) I’m definitely retarded 2) this is beyond a hypothetical. This alleges the entire market is rigged - what many of us have believed since 2021. The issuance proposal comes on the day the Andrew Left case began… And the day we will deem ‘The Great Cat Hack’ When @TheRoaringKitty returns, the price of $GME will begin to move up. If during that return, $GME has a 2021 like event occur again (e.g. it comes out in a legal case that shorts never covered)… An infinity squeeze could start to occur. This would happen if it’s somehow PROVEN that an ABSURD number of NAKED SHORTS exist. Say a certain screaming kitten named Keith figured out a way to prove this… Then the stock would squeeze up until shorts proved they’ve closed. And if shorts needed more than the 2.5 billion shares to close their shorts… In that scenario, GameStop sets the price of its stock… GameStop could dictate what price it wants to give shares out to cover short positions… And the more shares GameStop can issue during such a squeeze… The more cash it receives. The higher the value of the business. The higher the price of the stock. A real infinity squeeze. In a short squeeze, losses can be infinite. In an infinity squeeze, well… GameStop could surpass Berkshire Hathaway’s value instantly and more. Call it a cohencidence, but Moass is tomorrow. Always is!
