Unified Duality

"This is why Platner’s election (and selection for key national security committees) is so important. He is the first candidate of consequence to tell Democratic voters the truth the Schumer class has spent three decades burying: forever war has broken the veterans who fought it, the towns that sent them, and the countries we bombed on the way. The people running American foreign policy have been wrong about virtually every major conflict in living memory. And politicians who refuse to hold the cost of violence at the front of their minds do not have the moral standing to wield any of this power in the first place. That is an argument from a different moral universe than Slotkin’s Geneva Conventions citation, and it is the argument that actually speaks to what voters already believe about the last twenty-five years. The reverse Schumer trade from here is free money. When the man in charge has been wrong about all of the defining moral questions of our generation, it’s time to bet on the oyster farmer." themiccheck.substack.com/p/graham-platn…

⚠️ DIE KOMPLETTE TRUMP-LISTE - HIER SIND DIE MILLIARDEN, DIE WIRKLICH GEFLOSSEN SIND! Ich habe zwei Tage gebraucht, um sie zusammenzutragen, weil die Beträge an zwanzig verschiedenen Stellen versteckt sind. Nebeneinander gelegt versteht ihr, warum das Weiße Haus auf jede Frage mit Schweigen antwortet. Die Quellen sind SEC-Filings, Blockchain-Daten, BBC-Recherchen, Reuters und Bloomberg. Jede einzelne Zahl ist öffentlich nachlesbar. ⚠️ 17. Januar 2025. Drei Tage vor der Amtseinführung launcht Trump seinen eigenen Memecoin. Zwei Entitäten der Familie (CIC Digital LLC und Fight Fight Fight LLC) halten 80 Prozent der Token. Am zweiten Handelstag steht die Market Cap bei 14,5 Milliarden Dollar. Allein in den ersten zwei Wochen fließen laut Blockchain-Analyse über 350 Millionen Dollar an Trading-Fees an die Trump-Entitäten. Retail sitzt heute auf über 85 Prozent Verlust. Die Familie behält die Fees. ⚠️ 19. Januar. Zwei Tage später kommt der Melania-Token. Peak 13 Dollar, heute 15 Cent. 99 Prozent Crash. Insider, die vor dem Launch positioniert waren, haben zweistellige Millionenbeträge abgezogen. Wer das war, weiß wieder mal niemand. ⚠️ World Liberty Financial. Das DeFi-Projekt der Trump-Familie. 550 Millionen Dollar im Token-Sale eingesammelt, rund 300 Millionen davon aus dem Ausland. Die Familie kassiert 75 Prozent der Revenues. Justin Sun investiert 75 Millionen und kurz darauf pausiert die SEC die Untersuchung gegen ihn. Eric Trump sagt wörtlich in einem Interview: WLFI hat hunderte Millionen für die Familie generiert. ⚠️ März 2025. WLFI launcht den USD1 Stablecoin. Innerhalb weniger Wochen springt die Marktkapitalisierung auf 2,2 Milliarden Dollar. MGX aus Abu Dhabi wickelt ein 2-Milliarden-Dollar-Investment in Binance über USD1 ab. Zufall natürlich. Die Zinsen auf die hinterlegten Tresauries fließen an, richtig, die Trump-Familie. ⚠️ Eric und Don Jr. gründen American Bitcoin, eine Mining-Firma. Über SPAC an die Börse gebracht, Bewertung im Milliardenbereich. Parallel unterschreibt Trump eine Executive Order für die Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Mining-Aktien rallen sofort. #Bitcoin läuft auf neue Allzeithochs. Die Familie hält Mining-Bestände, Treasury-Positionen und Policy-Hebel gleichzeitig. ⚠️ Trump Media & Technology. Trump hält 53 Prozent. Im Herbst 2025 verkündet DJT eine Krypto-Strategie über 2 Milliarden Dollar Bitcoin-Treasury. $BTC steht über 100.000 Dollar, die Aktie pumpt um zweistellige Prozent, Trumps Papier-Vermögen springt um hunderte Millionen nach oben. Niemand außer der Familie wusste vor der Ankündigung Bescheid. ⚠️ Die BBC hat fünf Pre-Announcement-Patterns dokumentiert. Öl-Futures 580 Millionen vor der Iran-Pause. S&P-Futures 1,5 Milliarden vor dem Iran-Post. Ceasefire-Trades 950 Millionen. Hormuz-Öffnung 760 Millionen. Tariff-Pause im April über 900 Millionen an Vortages-Wetten. Aufaddiert sind das über 4 Milliarden Dollar an Positionen, die Minuten vor Trump-Tweets platziert wurden. 100 Prozent Trefferquote. ⚠️ Don Jr. sitzt im Advisory Board von Polymarket. Gleichzeitig strategischer Berater bei Kalshi. Die zwei Plattformen, auf denen die anomalen Wetten laufen. Die Familie verdient an den Plattform-Gebühren, während Wallets zehn von zehn Treffer landen. ⚠️ SEC stoppt die Binance-Klage, kurz danach nutzt Binance USD1. Der Genius Act legalisiert Stablecoin-Yields, direkt zugunsten von USD1. Die Crypto Task Force wird von David Sacks geführt, einem Trump-Donor. Jede Policy-Entscheidung seit Januar 2025 landet als Cashflow irgendwo in der Familie. Die Gesamtrechnung. Mindestens 1 bis 2 Milliarden realisierte Cash-Einnahmen über Memecoin-Fees, WLFI-Sale und Plattform-Beteiligungen. Dazu 4 bis 5 Milliarden in anomalen Pre-Event-Trades, die formal niemandem zugeordnet werden, aber auf Konten landen, die jedes Mal im richtigen Moment Bescheid wissen. Dazu zweistellige Milliarden an Papier-Vermögen über DJT und Krypto-Bestände. Alles öffentlich dokumentiert, alles mit Deal-Kette und Zeitstempel belegbar. Wenn du in Frankfurt einen Tipp von deinem Cousin kriegst und 2.000 Euro auf BASF setzt, stehst du vor Gericht. Wenn aus dem Oval Office Milliarden vor Kriegsentscheidungen verschoben werden, wird daraus eine BBC-Reportage mit dem Wort auffällig. Der STOCK Act verbietet exakt diese Geschäfte seit 2012. Null Verfahren. Null Verurteilungen. Das System funktioniert wie designed, nur nicht für dich. Sechs Milliarden Dollar Cash und Paper-Gains innerhalb von 15 Monaten. Und niemand wird in den Knast gehen. Merkt euch diese Zahl, wenn euch das nächste Mal jemand erklärt, wie die Regulierung in diesem Land ungerechten Reichtum verhindert. x.com/Smart_Money/st…

@WR4NYGov @RepSaraJacobs You probably cheered Israel's horrifying genocide in Gaza. So, sit down and be quiet. No one buys your phony concern for Iranians. The man you claim wants to liberate Iranians has openly threatened to end one of the oldest human civilizations.

@RepSaraJacobs Why do you want the Iranian people to continue to suffer under an authoritarian radical Islamic regime that wants to kill Jews, destroy Israel, and destroy America? Oh, but you want to destroy America too, don’t you?

🙋‍♀️I’m one of the 70% of Americans who believe the U.S. should make a deal to end the war in Iran as quickly as possible. This war is too costly, too reckless, too illegal, and too unpredictable to continue. yougov.com/en-us/articles…

🆕 POLL: 53% of GOP voters and 73% of independents want US to "make a deal to end the war in Iran as quickly as possible" @HASCDemocrats like @RoKhanna @RepSaraJacobs & @RepAdamSmith have urged Trump to make a deal. Trump should take this opportunity to end the war — NOW!

@MarioNawfal After mindlessly and cynical cheering for Trump until recently, you've yet to learn how to think for yourself. Eritrea is nothing like North Korea. Most of Eritrea's population is deeply religious & politically sophisticated. Stop insulting a population you know nothing about.

🇺🇸🇪🇷 Trump's team is pushing to lift sanctions on Eritrea. the 'North Korea of Africa, ' famous for endless forced military service, zero elections, and locking down its people like a fortress. Why now? It controls 700+ miles of prime Red Sea coastline right next to the Bab al-Mandeb chokepoint. With Iran & Houthis threatening to shut shipping lanes, strategy > human rights lectures... at least for Trump. Source: @WSJ

Israel killed every single person in this photo in Lebanon. Every. Single. One. All journalists. Targeted and assassinated intentionally. For reporting the truth from the frontlines.

@Afiye1952 @_hudsonc Guhaf.

This dangerous US Eritrea rapprochement is a gift to Isaias Afwerki and his terror regime. Lifting sanctions will only strengthen the #PFDJ's grip, fund more transnational repression against diaspora Eritreans, and destabilize the Horn further. The real solution is backing the people's #BlueRevolution for genuine democratic change, not rewarding dictatorship. The #Trump administration must not ignore the Eritrean people's cry for freedom! #EBRF #TransnationalRepression #BlueRevolution #Eritrea #NoMorePFDJTerror

🚨 As I have been predicting for weeks, Washington has jumped into the hornets nest of Red Sea politics, holding secret meetings with Isaias in Cairo in a bid to increase its influence in the region by lifting sanctions on Eritrea. What will Eritrea do in return? How will Addis react? What does this mean for Trump's promise to restart GERD talks? How will this a US-Eritrea rapprochement affect the SAF and Sudan's war? And what will UAE and Saudi make of the US effort to enter Red Sea political debates, seemingly aligning itself against Ethiopia? Too many questions to answer. But what I can say is that the US is doing it all without a strategy with a used truck salesman at the helm. What could possibly go wrong?? wsj.com/world/africa/u…

@NewTwistedOwl @Malcolm_Pal9 Let's see. Tucker supported Trump because Trump said he was anti-war. Trump started an illegal war of aggression. Tucker dissented. Trump turned on Tucker and other supporters who opposed this immoral war. What part of this is hard to understand? I'm really curious to know.

if he is admitting that he mislead people about trump election, and he already admitted that he was wrong about the irak war .... the pattern that starts shaping up is that he is very often wrong . Why should we think that he is not currently misleading people about trump being wrong ?

Tucker Carlson says: "I’m sorry for misleading people. I will feel bad for a long time because I helped Trump get elected."

@Suzierizzo1 Hey said 'if 800 other companies did that same thing." My disagreement with Buffet is that we shouldn't expect companies to do the right thing; we should just make them do what is required of them.

Warren Buffet says they paid $5 billion dollars in taxes last year and if 8 other Companies did the same then no regular American taxpayer would have to pay any Federal taxes at all!

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

🚨Must read: Israeli soldiers with moral injury admit to unspeakable atrocities they committed in Gaza. They say it "reminded [them] of the Holocaust." One says they put a Gazan civilian in cage, stripped him down, a soldier peed on him while the others laughed Another emptied his machine gun into an elderly man with 3 children. When the commander came to the site, he spat on the bodies & called them "sons of bitches." Another soldier says they encountered an unarmed Palestinian civilian who held his hands up. An Israeli soldier "came near him, waited a few seconds & just fired, without asking questions, without the suspect doing anything," then reported the incident as a "terrorist eliminated." Another describes how IDF Soldiers "would just take pleasure in destruction" & stealing the belongings of murdered Palestinians. He said soldiers would steal "electric appliances, gold necklaces, cash, everything" & "called it a blessing to steal from [Palestinians]." NONE of those soldiers have ever been held accountable, despite their public confessions to their crimes. The IDF refuses to even recognize "moral injury" as a mental disorder because it negates their propaganda slogan that "Israel has the world's most moral army." Instead, the IDF quietly calls it "identity injury" to imply those soldiers are to blame for feeling bad about murdering Palestinians.

Or Trump might also be sabotaging the possibility of a negotiated settlement for the time being.

To understand how Trump is undermining his own diplomacy by quickly declaring victory and trying to humiliate Iran whenever Tehran takes a deescalatory step, it is instructive to remember what happened when Iran and the GCC had negotiated new guardrails for the war. (See the full account in the tweet below). In short, Iran and the GCC were in the process of agreeing to a deal that would see the end of Iranian attacks on the GCC as long as their territories ceased being used for attacks on Iran. Theran would first message taking steps in this direction, followed by GCC reciprocity. But before the GCC got a chance to respond, Trump declared victory on TruthSocial, insulted and humiliated Iran, and even issued further threats of “complete destruction. On top of that, the US/Israel also attacked a water desalination plant at Qeshm Island. Needless to say, this sabotaged the sensitive de-escalation talks, and a promising opening was destroyed. Trump's need for the optics of victory trumps what should be far more important: Advancing US interests by ending this war and reaching a longer-term deal with Tehran. It appears that this same phenomenon occurred in the past few days. When the Iranians - in a very vague tweet - declared that the Strait is open as a deescalatory step (in their terminology, it has never been closed, though; Tehran is only determining who can pass and who cannot while charging tolls), Trump failed to reciprocate and instead could not resist the temptation to declare victory and insult the Iranians. What was designed to become the beginning of a mutual off-ramp was instead turned by Trump into an escalatory ladder, resulting in additional threats by him this morning to "knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran." Trump's lack of discipline and focus, and his infantile prioritization of optics over reality, are becoming significant obstacles to him achieving his own goals: Exiting the war and striking a strong deal with Tehran. This is not the Art of the Deal - it's the Art of the Self-Sabotage.

@lepke2112 @ggreenwald So what, you imbecile? How does Hezbollah's alleged actions justify that destruction of a sacred image revered by billions of people? There's literally nothing done by Israel you wouldn't attempt to justify, you psychopath.

Hezbollah systematically embedded rocket launchers, tunnels, and fighters inside southern Lebanon’s Christian villages and religious sites for decades, using civilians and shrines as human shields while terrorizing local Christian communities. The highlighted image you share of a soldier personally smashing a statue head with a hammer is false with no credible verification. When the IDF cleared those Hezbollah positions in combat operations, damage to a Saint George statue occurred as part of removing active threats not deliberate desecration. Your selective outrage ignores the Iranian proxy’s long record of weaponizing civilian and Christian areas. Factual context matters.

Christian Zionists: This Israeli soldier was absolutely justified in smashing the head of the Jesus Christ statue because Hezbollah and Hamas were hiding inside. We owe him our gratitude.🙏

@nntaleb He is in charge of the " existential threat" propaganda department.

@ggreenwald @LTC_Shoshani If it had been the head of a Palestinian that was being bludgeoned, the IDF would have issued a statement stating how the person was a terrorist and that what the soldier of the genocidal army did was an approved, instant administration of justice.

@LTC_Shoshani You forgot to announce this update.

The IDF is currently examining the reliability of the photograph. If this is indeed a real, recent picture, these actions do not align with the IDF's values ​​and the behavior expected of IDF soldiers. The incident will be investigated thoroughly and in depth, and if necessary, steps will be taken in accordance with the findings.

This project was agreed upon mostly financed by the African Development Bank, with contributions by the Eritrean government in March 2023. A Chinese firm worked on the project as a contractor. The post should have added this important context, @tesfanews.

Jewish American surgeon Mark Perlmutter recounts how Israeli soldiers took two Palestinian children and buried them alive This is the most horrifying testimony yet.
