Just a once very gullible guy who bought into many crypto bro's advice. Lesson learnt. Now I'm here to call them out and shine light on their nonsense!

Here we go — another drama unfolding. Today’s story involves @Drunk_ , the Head of Marketing at Winna. From the first day I met him in person until now, I’ve come to the conclusion that he’s nothing more than a skilled actor and manipulator. This is the guy Winna hired with zero actual marketing or management experience. When he first offered me this deal, on top of the weekly payments, leaderboard split and a lot more promises that were never fulfilled, he also offered me a revshare percentage deal. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t entirely familiar with the term, so I asked him for clarification. He explained that I would receive a percentage of the total losses from my players at the end of every month. That was the ONLY explanation he gave me, and of course, I accepted. Now tell me why, after just two months of this partnership, he suddenly decides to terminate it and claims that I owe THEM the revshare percentage because my players got lucky, beat the house edge, and actually profited on a casino. (see picture) When I pointed out that this was never explained or agreed upon in our deal, he doubled down and insisted that this is a “very standard and basic” arrangement between casinos and streamers, and that “everyone knows about this already.” (see picture) Funny thing is and what made it really suspicious is that as soon as I threatened to go public, he immediately chickened out and said he would pay whatever is needed. My guess is he probably tried to scam me and pocket the money himself without Winna knowing. This guy can't be trusted. Overall, it was a horrible experience with him. I was getting paid $8,750 a week by Winna while depositing $5-10k every single day. I was literally getting verbally abused by this guy in my chat for cashing out more than I get paid in a week — well no fucking shit, I deposit way more than I’m supposed to. The constant whining whenever I was winning, threats to drop me if I didn’t purposely lose money on stream, nonstop complaining about my players getting lucky and always putting the blame on me, leaderboard delays, and him never being active when needed — it was all extremely exhausting. I won’t lie, personally I’ve never really had any major issues with the site itself. I’m sure Winna can do better by hiring more capable people with actual marketing skills. This guy clearly doesn’t know what he’s doing. @Winna, you can do better.

Jimmy has done more for this space than almost anyone alive. He has taken sites the mainstream barely talks about and put them in front of millions of people, in plain language, with the evidence in hand. The Göbekli Tepe tree root campaign is one example. He saw a real threat to one of the most important sites on Earth, made a noise about it, and the global public actually listened. That is what genuine independent research can do. The hate he gets is jealousy and threat. Threat that someone without the approved credentials, without the institutional backing, has reached more minds than entire university departments. That he travels to sites himself, documents what he sees, and refuses to look away when something does not add up. That is exactly what a gatekept field cannot tolerate. So they push back, they smear, they try to make him the problem. It has not worked, because the audience has been catching up faster than the gatekeepers have been ready for. Jimmy is one of the reasons the conversation has moved as far as it has. He is what the relentless pursuit of truth actually looks like, day after day, while the people criticising him have produced nothing of comparable reach. Thank you Jimmy. The fight matters, and you are why a lot of us stand where we stand.
Mark Martinez@xprofe831

It's difficult to overstate how much @BrightInsight6 has been killing it these past couple years... From rescuing Gobekli Tepe to calling out the lies within Egyptology! Leave it to a combat veteran to lead the way! Keep fighting, Jimmy! Never give up, never surrender!

En Shahpur Patori, India (Estación de tren en Samastipur, Bihar), tres mujeres (una madre con sus dos hijos pequeños y otras dos adultas) cruzaban irresponsablemente las vías cuando de repente llegó un tren a toda velocidad; Instintivamente las mujeres se tiraron en los espacios libres de los canales y milagrosamente todos sobrevivieron ilesos excepto la madre, que resultó levemente herida al proteger a los niños y fue trasladada al hospital 😨😨..

This is actually unreal🤯 A guy just recovered 5 BTC ($400k) that had been locked in his wallet for 11 years. Back in 2015 he got high, changed the password, and forgot it by morning. The coins sat there untouched ever since. He tried 3.5 trillion brute force combinations. Paid recovery services. Nothing worked. He gave up. Yesterday he uploaded his entire old college hard drive to Claude as a hail mary. Claude dug through the files, found an older backup wallet, figured out the encryption format, and cracked it on the first try. $400,000. Recovered by an AI chat.

🚩Heinous crime. Mukesh Prasad came to NZ from India with an arranged marriage. He murdered his 5 year old daughter because he thought he had infected her with herpes. Today the court heard the horrible details. He told his daughter “today we are both going to die” “Papa, no!” “Papa, no!” “Papa, no!” Were the last things the poor child said before he smothered her to death with a pillow. He then started bashing his head with rocks in an attempt to kill himself. When that failed he calmly called the police and said : “Hi there,” he said on the call, asking police to come outside. “Actually, I’ve killed my daughter and her body’s in the boot.” These are the kinds of animals we are letting into the country.

Whatever the question, Labour always thinks the answer is more debt, higher taxes, and the government taking control of more of your life. National believes the opposite.

Kara 🇳🇿@Being_Kara·
Dear Christopher Luxon, @chrisluxonmp This morning on NewstalkZB you were asked about Nigel Farage’s surge in the UK and the clear anti-mass-immigration backlash that just delivered a political earthquake in Australia. Your response? “That’s just a grumpy few… people are playing politics with immigrants.” As a lifelong National voter, I have rarely heard a more tone-deaf dismissal of legitimate public concern. Because the grumpy few you wave away are not fringe agitators on social media. They are the silent majority of Kiwis who have watched their country change at breakneck speed while being lectured that any unease makes them right-wing or racist. You and your colleagues have spent years telling us how “highly skilled” the new arrivals are and how lazy and unambitious Kiwis have become. Yet your own government’s figures, and the brand-new India–New Zealand FTA, now classify Domino’s pizza workers, yoga instructors, chefs, and AYUSH practitioners as “skilled” migrants eligible for dedicated visa pathways. Net migration is still running at tens of thousands a year, with India one of the largest sources. Housing, hospitals, schools and roads are groaning under the weight. Wages in retail, hospitality and trades are being undercut. And when Kiwis point this out, the official line is that we’re just not trying hard enough. That’s not evidence-based policy. That is propaganda dressed up as economic necessity. Worse, it is selective. You and your MPs have been photographed wearing turbans and paying respects at temples and gurdwaras in search of ethnic bloc votes. That’s not “celebrating diversity.” That is ethnic vote-bank politics of the kind you accuse others of. When a junior National backbencher last week screamed “foreign political interference” because he was merely quote-tweeted by an overseas account, the absurdity was complete. The only foreign interference National seems to worry about is the kind that doesn’t deliver you donations or diaspora ballots. Meanwhile, you lecture us about the dangers of social media while your government rushes through under-16 bans modelled on the EU’s Digital Services Act - conveniently timed before the election. Elon Musk’s purchase of X has been one of the most significant pro-democracy acts of the past decade precisely because it broke the stranglehold of legacy media and government-aligned censors. Yet your instinct is to regulate and restrict rather than trust New Zealanders to think for themselves. That tells us everything about where your priorities lie. The latest Poll of Polls gives the current coalition an extremely high probability of surviving November. That is not because of any great love for National. It is because enough Kiwis still fear a return to the Ardern-era madness. But loyalty has limits. A great many of us who have voted National our entire adult lives have reached them. We will not reward a party that sneers at our justified concerns about rapid, unmanaged immigration from one particular country while simultaneously courting that same community for electoral gain. We will not vote for leaders who dismiss the very real pressures on housing, wages, infrastructure and social cohesion as the whingeing of a “grumpy few.” So here is the practical reality, Prime Minister. Kiwis with a functioning brain will party vote NZ First - the only party in your coalition that has consistently treated immigration numbers as a serious policy lever rather than a virtue signal. In the electorates many of us will still hold our noses and give National the local vote to keep the left out. But the party vote is no longer yours by default. You have mistaken quiet frustration for automatic loyalty. That era is over. The “grumpy few” you mock are the backbone of the National Party’s historic support. Keep dismissing us and you’ll discover exactly how quickly a safe coalition majority can evaporate. Yours, in genuine disappointment, A former National voter
