@MastrXYZ The world has indeed been turned inside out. The only grace is time measured in centuries and a constant stream of enough people to remain curious. I’m sure the Palantirs of today and tomorrow will find it impossible to entirely snuff out evolutionary randomness

From me. Something about me. I will never reveal that much about myself again. I am sitting in a T shirt in my garden. The children are playing on the trampoline. The robotic lawn mower keeps the grass short. My partner is planting things we will eat in a few weeks. The cats are chasing butterflies, and the neighbour is washing his car. It is 1 of those moments that cuts through all the noise and reminds you what matters. 1 of those rare, quiet moments where you are simply grateful to be yourself. Grateful to be here. Proud, not in the loud and childish way this world teaches people to perform pride, but in the silent way that comes from knowing you have carried your life through storms and still managed to build something gentle inside a brutal age. It is beautiful. Life is beautiful. I do not have a Lambo. The pool is a cheap above ground steel wall pool. That is fine. I do not need more. In fact, 1 of the greatest lies modern society ever sold us is that peace must look expensive before it counts. That fulfilment must come with spectacle. That success has to be photographed, advertised, envied, and priced by strangers before it becomes real. We live in a civilisation that has confused display with substance, attention with love, money with worth, and constant stimulation with meaning. It is a sick society in many ways. Not only because of greed, but because it has turned greed into a virtue and emptiness into an aspiration. People are taught to measure a life by visible excess. By the car, the watch, the number on the screen, the status symbol, the image, the followers, the applause of people who would not care if you disappeared tomorrow. Entire generations are being raised inside a machine that tells them to want more without ever asking why they want it, or what it is doing to them. Everything has become performance. Even pain is curated. Even morality is marketed. Even rebellion is monetised and sold back as a lifestyle product. And yet none of that has anything to do with what makes a life worth living. A quiet garden can be wealth. Children laughing can be wealth. Food growing in the soil can be wealth. A body that lets you sit in the sun for 20 minutes without pain can be wealth. A partner beside you can be wealth. A normal day can be wealth. That is the kind of wealth many people are too lost to recognise, because they have been trained to chase symbols instead of substance. 7 years ago, I was not even sure whether I would still be able to walk properly. I developed an autoimmune disease, and since then my body has reminded me every single day that I cannot do everything. And yes, I mean that very seriously. It came after I had to have a tumor removed that was causing me extreme pain. It has taught me, sometimes gently and sometimes brutally, that human beings are not machines. That willpower is real, but not infinite. That ambition means nothing if the body carrying it begins to revolt. That health is not a side detail in life. It is the invisible foundation beneath almost every dream. And yes, since getting ill, I have also been struggling financially, because I never thought something like that would hit me. I was always smart. I was always early. I somehow always knew how to manage things. Everything came easily until I could no longer do what I had invested myself in. I had the luck of living in a country where you do not fall into debt the moment fate turns against you. In a country where it still matters that society can carry you when your luck runs out. That too is part of what makes life beautiful. Not only private happiness, but a society that has not completely forgotten what solidarity means. People who have never had their body betray them often speak about life as if everything is available to anyone who just wants it enough. That is another modern delusion. It is the religion of the untouched, the comfortable, the untested. The untested. It is easy to worship limitless potential when your own limits have never sat you down and looked you in the eye. Illness strips away illusions. It humiliates fantasies of control. It forces you into a conversation with reality that many spend their whole lives trying to avoid. You begin to understand that existence is not a conquest. It is a temporary permission. You are not guaranteed strength tomorrow. You are not guaranteed energy tomorrow. You are not guaranteed mobility tomorrow. And once you truly understand that, many things that society told you to worship start to look absurd. You stop admiring certain people. You stop envying certain lifestyles. You stop confusing noise for depth. You begin to see how much of modern culture is built by people who are spiritually starving while materially overfed. People with no inner ground, compensating with endless outer accumulation. People who cannot sit still, because silence would reveal the poverty inside. People who need to dominate every room because they have no real authority over themselves. People who collect things because they cannot collect peace. People who seek admiration because they do not possess self respect. That is why so much of the world feels insane now. Not because humans suddenly became evil, but because too many have been detached from reality for too long. From the body. From nature. From time. From community. From death. From genuine limits. From the simple truth that life is not an infinite marketplace of self invention, but a fragile and finite experience that can end, change, weaken, or narrow far faster than the culture of endless consumption wants to admit. There is something profoundly sane about wanting less. Not less meaning, but less illusion. Not less beauty, but less vanity. Not less ambition, but less false ambition. Not less life, but less performance. I do not need a luxury fantasy to validate my existence. I do not need my peace to impress anyone. I do not need a symbol of success that strangers were trained to clap for. I have seen enough, and endured enough, to know that being able to sit here like this, in a simple shirt, in a simple garden, watching life unfold around me, is already a privilege far greater than many of the things this civilisation worships. Because this is real. This cannot be faked. This cannot be bought in the way people think. This is what remains when the noise falls away. Maybe that is what maturity really is. Not becoming colder. Not becoming richer. Not becoming harder. But becoming less hypnotised by nonsense. And maybe true success is simply this: to have gone through enough pain to understand what matters, and still to remain soft enough to enjoy it when it appears. So yes, the pool is cheap. There is no Lambo. There is no palace. There is no theatre of luxury. And yes, I hope tomorrow will also be a good day. I hope my financial situation will recover. But I have learned that hard work in both Web2 and Web3 is rarely rewarded the way people like to pretend. I was fortunate enough to be diligent early on and to build a broad education in psychology, computer science, law, and future technologies. I was hungry. That is my insurance for my children. And that is how I keep pushing through. I always meant well. I wanted good things. I still do. But very little comes back. That is why I have to fight even harder in real life. Still, there is breath. There is sunlight. There is family. There is movement. There is food growing from the earth. There is laughter. There is a self I can still live with. For me, that is enough. More than enough, even if it is not always easy. That is a life.

Yesterday, Reform UK dropped a billionaire bombshell via their pet [paid] media channels. Ben Delo — one of the UK's youngest self-made billionaires, declared that he would re-migrate to the UK in order to donate to Nigel Farage's pension fund. I had questions — I went looking. A mathematician and tech entrepreneur, he made his fortune in cryptocurrency as co-founder of BitMEX alongside two others in 2014. By 2018, he was reportedly the UK's first Bitcoin billionaire. So far, so standard for this type of guy. But when you start reading about those he has donated money to, and the circles in which he moves, things become a bit murkier. There are few firm details about Delo's philanthropy, but among other things, he helped fund Toby Young's Free Speech Union. He maintains a suite of offices called The Sanctuary, close to Westminster Abbey, in which he allows 'guests' to use his facilities for free. Podcasts, office space, networking events. The notorious Triggernometry podcast, hosted by Konstantin Kisin, records from the Sanctuary. From which he told the world that Rishi Sunak could not be British because he is a brown Hindu. Other notable purveyors of Ben Delo's generous office complex are: Rupert Lowe, Ben Habib, Kemi Badenoch [multiple times], Claire Fox [and her Academy of Ideas] and his close friend, Jordan Peterson. A genuine smörgåsbord of right-wing, free speech warriors. Another feature of Delo's philanthropy is his summer party in Westminster Abbey. Attended last year by such notables as Matt Goodwin, Maurice Glassman and Paul Coleman — director of ADF International, the Christian law firm that opposes abortion. When Nigel Farage gave testimony to the US Congress last year, he was flanked by Lorcán Price from ADF. The ADF helped topple Roe V Wade in the US and have cosied up to Farage in recent years. Watch this space for Reform UK's forthcoming anti-abortion stance, I'd suggest. Of course, it's widely reported that Delo pleaded guilty to financial crimes by failing to implement anti-money laundering controls within his company and received a 30-month probation sentence alongside a $10 million fine. In 2025, the crypto president pardoned him. According to the Guardian, Delo has been biding his time, burnishing his reputation since receiving the seal of Trump approval [and by extension, of course, Farage's]. He is now launching himself into the UK political sphere as the latest white knight to attach his steed to Nigel Farage's rickety bandwagon. The timing yesterday was not coincidental, nor was its method of delivery. It's no secret that Reform UK have been fighting to keep the spotlight in recent weeks. Dropping poll numbers testify to that. Farage and Delo coordinated their announcement yesterday to coincide with a lull in the war [supposedly] in order that they maximise the headlines. And it worked. But, as you can see from the examples above, Delo runs in the same right/far-right circles as all the others. Propping up some of the most hardline anti-immigration and Christian Nationalist figures. This isn't a story about money — these people run together. It's an assault on our British freedoms. We need to be VERY wary of them.

MAGA calls Europe freeloaders. Here’s what they’re not telling you. ​1. Ramstein Air Base, the most important US military hub outside America, is built on German land provided rent-free, with Germany contributing hundreds of millions to its upkeep. The US couldn’t replace it anywhere in the world. 2. Every US military operation in the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia flows through Ramstein. Lose it and US power projection in the Eastern Hemisphere is crippled. 3. The UK provides and maintains RAF Lakenheath used almost entirely by the US Air Force. Italy provides Aviano. Greece provides Souda Bay. Turkey provides Incirlik. European land. European infrastructure. American operations. 4. The US Sixth Fleet depends entirely on European ports for fuel and supplies. Souda Bay, Naples, 11 Greek ports. Without them the Sixth Fleet cannot operate in the Mediterranean or project power into the Middle East. 5. The majority of NATO’s intelligence and surveillance capacity is hosted on European soil and fed directly to the CIA, NSA and Pentagon. 6. Early warning radar at Fylingdales, UK. Missile tracking in Greenland. Norwegian monitoring stations near Russia. All dependent on European goodwill. 7. It would cost America MORE to bring the troops home than keep them here. European hosts subsidise roughly a third of all basing costs. 8. Europe is America’s largest arms customer. Stop buying American and part of their defence industry goes bankrupt. 9. The bases aren’t charity. They’re America using European soil, European money and European goodwill to project power across the world. 10. We’re not the freeloaders.

This is horrific. MoD executives are going to party with Palantir over multi-million pound contracts that will enrich its founder Peter Thiel, Jeffrey Epstein's investment fund business partner. A slap in the face to Epstein's victims by this govt bylinetimes.com/2026/02/04/jef…

Months after Starmer & Mandelson visited their offices, Palantir won a direct contract worth £240m with the Ministry of Defence. There was no tender & no bid, & there are no minutes from Starmer's Palantir meeting. There must be a full investigation - the contracts must be halted until we have transparency! #palantir #mandelson #epstein

The US company Palantir Technologies is hosting a lavish party for the Ministry of Defence to celebrate winning a government contract, The Times can reveal. Senior military officers and civil servants have been invited to the evening reception in Mayfair on Wednesday to mark the company’s £241 million three-year deal to “boost military AI and innovation”. An invitation to the event asked guests to “celebrate the next chapter in our partnership with the Ministry of Defence”.

A lavish party to celebrate a £241m military AI deal with Palantir. This is the same US firm embedded in our NHS, with links to anti-democratic politics. This deserves scrutiny, not champagne. #Accountability #Democracy

"It's in all of these government departments ... essentially it's running our critical infrastructure." Carole Cadwalladr breaks down Palantir, the Silicon Valley company that owns Britain.

Mandelson & Palantir & Starmer questions: Why was PM visit to Palantir in US, a client of Mandelson’s Global Counsel firm, kept secret from media? Coincidence that Palantir awarded £240 million direct contract shortly after? Answers needed

A £240m defence contract without tender. Their fingerprints all over our health care data. A meeting in the USA but without any minutes. Everything around Palantir stinks. #Echobox=1770728812" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/25841925.…

The Prime Minister should stop all civil servants and Ministers from attending the Palantir party in Mayfair which will celebrate being given another massive contract and a *lot* of taxpayer money going into their profits.

MPs! Please come to this. It’s a briefing on Russian interference ahead of the Westminster Hall debate with @dominicgrieve_ @Chris_D_Steele + others. Organised with @allthecitizens. 1.30pm today Portcullis House

"I ask you - do not get tired of supporting Ukraine." - Volodymyr Zelensky President of Ukraine 🇺🇦 They will have my support till victory, and beyond❤️🇺🇦 And you?.. Do you continue to support Ukraine?🙌

SEVENTEEN TIMES he has been found to have breached the MPs code of conduct. 17 TIMES. Please like and retweet if Reform UK's Nigel Farage should resign. #PoliticsLive #PMQs

Putin's little tool Farage is all over our TV screens, so I think this deserves revisiting. Farage squirms as Rep. Jamie Raskin obliterates the "Putin-loving, free speech imposter, Trump sycophant". Please share as widely as possible. The news media seem all too keen to forget about Farage's service to Russia.

Mad enough yet?

BREAKING: 🇨🇭🇺🇲 Switzerland REJECTS Palantir Software Palantir Software Poses Devastating Risks - Netz Politik After a risk assessment of the use of Palantir software in Switzerland, the US corporation was rejected, despite years of courting by authorities and the army. The Swiss consider the risks too great. The fear is that Palantir is handing over sensitive data to the US and from there to Israel.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Peter Thiel is a real life super villain‼️

The Oregon DOJ submitted videos showing federal officers using extreme force on seemingly nonviolent protesters outside the U.S. Immigration & Customs Building, as part of its effort to block the federal deployment of National Guard troops to Portland.
