@RealArea503 Thank you. All these 'sightings' are our own tech from private contractors psy opping our own military as a selling point.

The biggest psyop pulled in recent years has been the conflation of UAP with UFO. While THEY are talking about balloons, drones, blimps and UAS.. You think they are talking about flying saucers and aliens. They are not. #ufotwitter #baitNswitch #psyop

@miles_commodore If Dems had any sense they would take his lead and move more centrist. This far, far left Dem party will never see a victory on any major ticket.

How do you feel about this guy?

@CuriosityonX Probably something like II+II=IIII and wait for a response.

If you could send a message to an Alien civilization, what would you say?

@Osint613 The current blockade is costing Iran $145m per day. Im not betting on any huge rush to wrap things up.

I wish I understood what actually happened on Friday. Trump posted that Iran agreed to hand over all nuclear material, never close the Strait of Hormuz, end its nuclear program forever, and abandon its proxies. But Iran didn’t agree to any of it. We know that because they didn’t even agree to show up to talks. So what actually happened behind the scenes? Pakistan giving over wrong info?

I have three monitors on my desk. The left one shows the order book. The middle one shows Truth Social. The right one shows the investigation queue. On April 21st, the left screen moved first. I am a Senior Surveillance Analyst at a commodities exchange. I have held this position for nineteen years. My job is to monitor trading activity for suspicious patterns and generate compliance reports. I am employee of the quarter. I have a mug. At 19:54 GMT on April 21st, someone placed 4,260 sell orders on Brent crude futures. They did this during post-settlement. The window after the market closes when daily volume is typically in the dozens. Sometimes single digits. Sometimes I watch the screen and nothing happens for forty minutes and I think about whether my daughter is happy. On April 21st, someone placed $430 million in directional bets in 120 seconds during that window. One hundred and twenty seconds. I timed it on my watch because the system clock rounds to the nearest minute and I have found, in nineteen years, that precision matters to no one but me. At 20:10 GMT, the President posted on Truth Social that he was extending the Iran ceasefire. Brent dropped from $100.91 to $96.83. I flagged the trade. I flag a lot of trades. I want to tell you what happens to my flags. My flags go into a system called TRACE. Trade Review and Compliance Evaluation. I did not name it. The system generates a report. The report goes to a committee. The committee has a name I am not allowed to share but I can tell you it meets quarterly and the conference room has a credenza with bottled water that is sparkling because someone once put still water in the room and a managing director sent an email about it that was longer than most of my surveillance reports. The committee reviews my flags. The committee has reviewed all of my flags. Here is the complete record of actions taken on my flags in 2026: Reviewed. That's it. "Reviewed" is a status. In compliance, a status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one. Let me show you my flags. March 9th. Someone bet millions on oil falling at 18:29 GMT. Forty-seven minutes later, a CBS reporter posted that the President said the Iran war was "very complete, pretty much." Oil dropped 25%. Forty-seven minutes. I flagged it. March 23rd. Someone sold 5,100 lots of Brent and WTI crude futures between 10:49 and 10:50 GMT. Fourteen minutes later, the President posted on Truth Social about a "COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION" to hostilities. Oil dropped 11%. Over 13,000 contracts traded in sixty seconds after the post. Fourteen minutes. I flagged it. April 7th. Someone established a $950 million short position in oil futures at 19:45 GMT. Three hours later, the President declared a two-week ceasefire. Nine hundred and fifty million dollars. I flagged it. April 17th. Someone placed $760 million in bearish bets twenty minutes before Iran's foreign minister confirmed the Strait of Hormuz would reopen. Seven hundred and sixty million. I flagged it. April 21st. The $430 million. Fifteen minutes. I flagged it. That is $2.1 billion in directional oil bets in April alone. Every one of them landed on the correct side of a presidential announcement. Every one of them was placed in a window so narrow you could measure it in bathroom breaks. I flagged every single one. The CFTC chair told a Congressional committee that his organization has "zero tolerance" for fraud and insider trading. I wrote that quote on a Post-it note and stuck it to my right monitor. The one that shows the investigation queue. The investigation queue has not moved since March. Zero tolerance. Zero staff. Zero budget. Zero prosecutions under the STOCK Act since it was signed in 2012. Fourteen years. The law has existed for fourteen years and has been enforced zero times. In compliance, we call that a compliance rate of one hundred percent. No cases filed means no cases lost. You cannot fail an audit you never conduct. We call that excellence. Last month the White House sent an internal email to staff. I was not on the distribution list but I have read reporting on it and I need you to sit with what I am about to say. The email instructed White House staff not to use insider information to place bets on prediction markets. The White House had to send a memo telling its own employees not to insider-trade. I want you to read that sentence again. Not because the instruction was unclear. Because the instruction was necessary. Because someone in the building looked at the same pattern I have been flagging for months on my three monitors and decided the appropriate response was an email. The President's son sits on the advisory board of Kalshi. He is an investor in Polymarket. Both are prediction markets. Both saw accounts created days before U.S. military action. One account. I cannot stop thinking about this account. It was called "Burdensome-Mix." It was created in December. On January 2nd, it placed $32,500 on Venezuela's president being removed from power. On January 3rd, Maduro was seized by U.S. special forces. Burdensome-Mix collected $436,000. Then it changed its username. Then it disappeared. One account is a coincidence. But there were six. Six accounts were created on Polymarket in February. All bet on U.S. strikes on Iran by the 28th. When the President confirmed the strikes, the six accounts collected $1.2 million between them. Five of the six never placed another bet. The sixth went on to correctly predict the ceasefire date and made another $163,000. My surveillance system logged all of this. My system logs everything. My system does not have opinions and neither do I. I generate reports. The reports go to committees. The committees meet quarterly. Between meetings, the windows get shorter and the bets get larger. March 9th: 47 minutes. March 23rd: 14 minutes. April 17th: 20 minutes. April 21st: 15 minutes. The window is compressing. In March, you had time to make coffee between the trade and the announcement. By April, you had time to send a text. By summer, at this rate, the trade and the announcement will be the same event. The spokesman said any implication that administration officials are engaged in insider trading is "baseless and irresponsible reporting." Then the White House sent the email again. I have been in compliance for nineteen years. I have seen insider trading run out of strip mall offices by men who could not spell "derivative." I have seen pump-and-dump schemes coordinated over WhatsApp by people who used their real names. I have seen a man try to manipulate soybean futures from a Panera Bread. I have never seen $2.1 billion in perfectly timed trades across five presidential announcements in a single month go uninvestigated. But I have also never seen a compliance system work this beautifully. Every trade flagged. Every report filed. Every committee briefed. Every quarterly meeting attended. Bottled water: sparkling. Minutes: distributed. Zero prosecutions. As long as the flags go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations. I am meeting expectations. The system is meeting expectations. The $2.1 billion is meeting expectations. The fourteen-year-old law with zero prosecutions is meeting expectations. The left screen moves. The middle screen moves. The right screen stays perfectly, immaculately still. In my field, we call this price discovery.

@gothburz Very interesting. Thank you.

@CoffindafferFBI Released while they build the case.

Lynette Hooker Beyond a Reasonable Doubt is the standard in the Bahamas, too. The Bahamian authorities haven't been able to make the case and they had to release him. This is a tough case to make. His story is not believable, but obtaining a conviction would be tough. Dead women can tell no truths. Poor Lynette. #LynetteHooker

@Tablecloth123_ @CBSNews I would be surprised if he goes to trial with what we know so far. I expect some sort of plea deal but hoping for more info.

Brian Hooker, whose wife, Lynette, went missing on April 5, after allegedly falling overboard while the couple was traveling in the Bahamas, was recorded speaking to a friend on April 7. During the call that CBS News has verified, he described the events from that night as a "cascade of failures." Brian Hooker is currently in police custody in the Bahamas, where he is being questioned in connection with the disappearance of his wife, but denies any wrongdoing and has not been charged with a crime.

@CBSNews Boaters are a very forgiving bunch because we know crazy things can happen on the water but this makes absolutely no sense. Now he's saying the key and the spare were in her dry bag when she went over board? Then how was the dinghy under power? I pray this trial is televised.

@brhodes Iran started non compliance with JCPOA the minute they signed it. The IAEA reports and timeliness are publicly available so Im not sure how a supposedly educated person can make these comments with a straight face.

Reminder that under Obama's Iran Deal the Iranians shipped 98 percent of their enriched uranium out of the country - without a pointless and devastating war.

@TVAshleigh My issues are: 1. She would be driving to have the kill switch lanyard meaning all his weight would be forward (not normal). 2. Where is this big current in the Harbor?? No real currents unless your in a cut between Cays and that is not where you go in a dinghy.

@LauraRbnsn It smells like burnt metal, gasoline and static electricity.

Can you imagine what that first breath of sea air smells like getting out of the Orion?

"What is the virtue of a proportional response?" I am reminded again of this timeless scene in West Wing, as Israel responds to Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iran.

@Arrogance_0024 @joncoopertweets 😂

@MOSSADil I think the IAEA timelime of Iran's non-compliance issues would be beneficial in these discussions. Im not aware of them finding 60% enriched uranium under previous admins.

🚨 QUESTION In an MSNBC interview, John Kerry confirms that Netanyahu pushed multiple U.S. administrations to strike Iran. Obama didn’t. Bush didn’t. Trump did. So here’s the real question: Is Trump the only one who actually had the backbone to do what others refused to do? Especially when we already know the Iranian regime pursued nuclear weapons. They’re framing this as criticism. But doesn’t it actually expose the weakness of previous presidents? What do you think?

Violence Warning Charlie Kirk It is really critical that people understand what the ballistics findings mean in Charlie's case. That bullet went into Charlie, did not exit, and was mangled in the process, and became a bullet fragment. Bullets don't tell the story in this instance. Casings do. You see there are marks left on a casing (casings hold the bullet) when they are ejected by a gun. These are caused by the extractor and ejector of a gun. There are also little impressions made by the firing pin that are unique. That is what is used to determine what gun shot a cartridge. Can bullets also be linked to a particular gun via examining the rifling striations? Yes, but that requires a bullet to be intact for comparison. Charlie's bullet upon removal was more of a fragment, not a round. Tyler Robinson is accused to assassinating Charlie. The bullet fragment not matching Tyler's gun is not exculpatory evidence, it was expected due to the state of the bullet. On a side note, sure wish people would quit revictimizing Charlie's widow. It's really pathetic. #charliekirkshot #TylerRobinson

@ChrisCuomo Its probably a bunch of retail traders on Robinhood and WeBull implementing the TACO trade philosophy. I'd check their message boards.

Call in to Cuomo Mornings now and tell me what you think about the suspected insider trading that may have taken place in oil trades minutes before Trump's post about talks with Iran. Call In - 866-967-6887
