@Tironianae @Diane101955 Umm… I thought the IRS were the financial middlemen…
Laundering money, in cahoots with the Fed, right?
English

🚨 BREAKING. Scott Bessent just announced the Internal Revenue Service is launching MASSIVE AUDITS of financial institutions that facilitated the laundering of Minnesota funds.
Read that again.
Banks. MSBs. Financial middlemen.
Anyone who helped move dirty money is about to get TORCHED.
For once, the IRS is being deployed FOR AMERICANS FIRST — not against working families.
Follow the money.
Audit everything.
Prosecute whoever broke the law.
Music to my ears.
Thank you, Sec. Bessent. 🇺🇸
FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING

As a guitarist, I play many
gigs. Today I was asked
by a funeral director to play
at a graveside service for
a homeless veteran. He had
no family or friends, so the
service was to be at a pauper’s cemetery in the backcountry.
As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost.
I finally arrived an hour late
and saw the funeral guy had
evidently gone, and the hearse
was nowhere in sight. There
were only the diggers and
crew left and they were eating
lunch.
I felt bad, and apologized to
the men for being late. I went
to the side of the grave and
looked down and the vault lid
was already in place. I didn’t
know what else to do, so I
started to play.
The workers put down their
lunches, and began to gather
around. I played out my heart
and soul for this man with no
family and friends. I played
like I’ve never played before
for this desert storm veteran.
And as I played ‘Amazing
Grace,’ the workers began
to weep. They wept, I wept,
We all wept together. When I
finished I packed up my
guitar and started for my truck.
Though my head hung low,
my heart was full.
As I opened the door to my
Pickup truck, I heard one of the workers
say, “I never seen nothin’
like that before, and I’ve been
putting in septic tanks for
twenty years.”

Banking and development economist Richard Werner says the real reason we are seeing so many Data Centers being put up so quickly is because they are building the surveillance and digital currency network right now
“We are so close to the scariest, most dystopian system. This is what the drive to build all these thousands of data centers is about, to micromanage the world's population through the New Financial World Order. AI is really about that.
We're heading towards digital control systems where we have no more control over our liquid assets. It will be programmable, permission-based, so only what the central planners allow you to use your money for, at what time and place and location will be permitted.
And if you're in the wrong place, it's not going to work. And If you're buying the wrong book, it's not gonna work. Your money won't work outside a certain zone, whether it's 15-minute prison zone or whatever it may be. It is the totalitarian dictator's dream come true”
Here’s what he’s saying
Data centers as infrastructure for control
The data centers are essential for the massive computing power needed to track, analyze, and micromanage billions of transactions in real-time under a “New Financial World Order.”
This includes enforcing rules on what you can buy, where you can spend, and when “15-minute city” style geographic restrictions or blacklisting certain purchases
He’s saying AI isn’t just for chatbots or efficiency. It’s the perfect tool for the surveillance, predictive analytics, and an automated enforcement layer on top of digital money
I think he’s right. I also think it’s for the massive camera infrastructure being installed all over America with Flock
It’s all connected. This is the surveillance state being constructed

@Heavenly_Race_ Isn’t that why we were instructed “do not throw you pearls before swine”?
On the other side of the token, we are taught to sharpen each other - as iron sharpens iron.
But, one speaks to futile interactions, whereas the other, a brother. …Try not to get them confused.

Once you hit about a 20-point IQ gap, communication starts to completely break down.
It's not that the lower IQ person is "stupid" (although that can often be the case) or the higher one is arrogant, it's that you're literally operating on different systems.
A 20 point difference (roughly 1.3 standard deviations) means:
Vocabulary and abstraction levels diverge sharply. What feels like crystal clear logic to one side sounds like vague, pretentious word salad to the other. Jokes land flat. Metaphors get taken literally. Complex cause and effect chains get simplified into "this good, that bad."
Different time horizons and pattern recognition. One person thinks in months or years and sees systems, the other is locked into days or immediate rewards. Trying to explain second order effects feels like speaking another language.
Also, processing speed and working memory gaps. The higher IQ person is already three steps ahead, getting impatient. The lower IQ person feels talked down to or overwhelmed.
Both walk away frustrated.
Both have wasted each others time.

The funniest maths in modern environmentalism.
One almond requires 12 litres of irrigated water to produce. Peer-reviewed, ScienceDirect, 2017. A glass of almond milk contains roughly 50 of them. 600 litres of water before the carton is filled.
The water comes from the San Joaquin Valley in California, which sits over one of the most over-extracted aquifers on earth. The valley floor has subsided by up to nine metres in places due to groundwater depletion. The carton is then refrigerated, sailed across the Atlantic, refrigerated again, lorried to a Manchester Tesco, and bought by someone who is concerned about the environmental impact of dairy.
Meanwhile, in Cheshire.
A British dairy cow drinks roughly 70 to 100 litres of water a day and produces around 28 litres of milk. That's about 3.5 litres of water per litre of milk. The water is rainwater that fell on her field or came from a local stream fed by the same rainwater. The rain was going to fall on the field whether the cow stood in it or not. 80% of her moisture intake comes from the grass itself, which is also rain.
She converts the grass, free of charge, into a litre of milk containing seven times the protein and four times the calcium of almond milk, and shipped roughly 18 miles to the same Tesco.
To recap.
600 litres of stolen aquifer, flown halfway round the world for nutritionally worthless beige water.
Or 3.5 litres of rain that was already falling, converted by an animal you can pet, into actual food.
The shopper picks the almond.
She has been told this is the ethical position.
The aquifer would like a word.

Tennessee just did what Congress can't.
They passed a law to break up the health insurance giants.
Specifically, they made it illegal for pharmacy benefit managers — the companies in charge of pharmacy insurance — and pharmacies to be owned by the same company.
That makes perfect sense.
For example: CVS Caremark is the PBM, and CVS is the pharmacy. So if you have Aetna insurance, you have CVS Caremark as your PBM, and they're going to do everything they can to make sure you use CVS as your pharmacy. Aetna, Caremark, CVS — all the same company.
That causes all kinds of incredibly obvious problems that this law hopes to fix.
If your insurance company is in charge of approving your medication, deciding how much to pay for it, AND deciding who gets that money — while also being the pharmacy that gets paid at the end — guess what happens to prices?
They go up.
Governor Lee signed the law last week. CVS immediately filed a federal lawsuit because they said it will force them to close all 136 stores they have in Tennessee.
Let that sink in.
I'm not sure most people realize what that says about CVS and health insurance in general. They had to choose between owning the middleman (the PBM) or the healthcare provider (the pharmacy).
Without hesitation, they chose the middleman.
The biggest pharmacy chain in the country — with a store on every corner — would drop all 136 of their Tennessee locations in a second if it means keeping their middleman business.
It is more profitable for them to be a health insurance middleman getting between you and your healthcare than it is to actually provide the healthcare.
That is the problem with healthcare in America.
We have made the middleman so powerful that they've taken complete control of the entire system. Three PBMs — Caremark, Express Scripts, and OptumRx — handle around 80% of all prescriptions in this country.
How on earth can we expect healthcare to work well and remain affordable if that's where the money is?
We all auto-pay our insurance straight out of our paycheck before we even see the money. And not surprisingly, they're keeping a ton of it.
That's why we fired them.
And they can't file a lawsuit to stop us.
That lets us offer fair, transparent prices. No PBMs. No insurance games. No hidden markups. You see the cost, you pay the cost.

We are told that hydrocarbons are a stain on history. But before fossil fuels, humanity was entirely at the mercy of a harsh world.
Life before modern energy was exactly as Thomas Hobbes described it: 'solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short'. Coal and oil are the core reasons modern civilisation exists at all. They ended the backbreaking human servitude and primitive toil, provided reliable warmth and built the physical infrastructure that protects humanity from the elements today.
When you see maps of Europe painted in apocalyptic blood-red, accompanied by insults for anyone who asks questions, you are looking at pure marketing - this is not science. Behind the panic dialogue lies a profound ignorance of deep geological time and human history.
The transition to modern energy didn't corrupt a pristine world; it lifted human hope out of subsistence poverty. It built modern medicine, sanitation and transport, and paradoxically made us vastly more resilient to a harsh world.
The irony runs deep. Carbon dioxide, now labeled a pollutant, was the foundation for the rise of life, the catalyst for oxygen production and blind architect of the miracle of photosynthesis. Without it, multicellular life would not exist.
Look at the actual data. For the vast majority of the Phanerozoic Eon (over the past 541 million years), Earth's average temperature sat between 18°C and 26°C. Today's global average is around 15°C. Geologically speaking, we live in a remarkably 'cool' era.
We are also still living in the Quaternary Ice Age, enjoying a brief, 11,700-year warm holiday climate known as an interglacial period. The roughly 1.4°C rise seen since 1850 was a natural recovery from the brutal icy depths of the Little Ice Age - not the ignition of a planet.
Yet, the institutional campaign of absolute climate panic—now roughly 38 years old—has successfully morphed a complex scientific inquiry into a massive, centralised economic torrent. The futility of fighting these natural cycles comes at an astronomical economic cost.
According to global consulting firms like McKinsey, the forced top-down transition to Net Zero is projected to cost $9.2 trillion every single year through to 2050. That is a staggering global total of $275 trillion.
This isn't about saving the planet. It's a massive, top-down redistribution of wealth away from sovereign nations and into an opaque, tangled bureaucratic web of managed funds. It is being driven by a self-serving activist hardcore within the UN.
Fear has been hijacked to replace physics, fracturing global stability for an outrageous multi-trillion-dollar quest for power.
