With the local elections coming up don't let the news media bury the truth about Farage, Nathan Gill and Russia. On September 16, 2014, Farage and Nathan Gill made speeches to the European Parliament parroting several of the same Russian propaganda lies. Could this have just been a coincidence? I don't think so. It looks coordinated. Either Farage gave Nathan Gill his talking points, or Russia was providing its talking points to both of them. They both called Ukraine "The Ukraine," a term which refers back to the old Slavic word for borderland, which Russia uses to deny Ukraine's nationhood. They both used the expression "poking the Russian bear." They both parroted the Russian lie that there had been a coup in Kyiv in 2014. They both parroted Russian lies about NATO and EU expansion. They both repeated the Russian claim that the real threat was Muslim extremism, a claim that Putin had very effectively used to distract Western leaders from Russian aggression and its hybrid war against the West. Reform UK initially claimed Farage barely knew Gill. That turned out to be a filthy lie. Let's follow the Hungarian example and get off our sofas into the polling booths to give Farage and his media backers a kick in the brexits that they will never forget. And just in passing, here is Farage with the Russian Ambassador in 2013 – the same Ambassador Farage denied having met, and who later boasted of having "crushed the British to the ground". Finally, a reminder that Farage was heavily promoted by Russian TV before the BBC took up that role. A vote for Reform UK is a vote for Putin.

Victoria Derbyshire spend 8 minutes taking apart Nigel Farage's £5,000,000 gift "As you'd expect we asked Reform UK for an interview tonight. One Reform UK press officer asked: with who and to discuss what" "We said we'd like to talk about the local elections, the detention centres in Green areas, and £5m gift from Christopher Harborne" "We didn't receive another reply"

WSJ came to us with a profitability analysis of public Kalshi profiles. Which was inaccurate, because the majority of traders keep their profiles private. So we did the analysis ourselves and gave it to the WSJ. Our analysis showed that Kalshi traders win more than they do on day trading, options, sportsbooks, and futures. It’s the first time we’ve given out that data. We debated whether or not to give it out. But we figured it was better than a shoddy analysis that showed people lose a lot more than they actually do. The WSJ included our points. But instead of looking at our data from multiple sides - yes, majority lose, but prediction markets > day trading, options, and sportsbooks - they kept it salacious as possible. This same framing could have been written about real estate investing or day trading back in the day. Guess we just have to wait a few years until we get more balanced reporting?

Most of the crypto industry is dead and never coming back. Eventually people will realize it.

Kraken's parent company Payward is suing former custody partner Etana and its CEO, alleging a "Ponzi-like" scheme that misappropriated more than $25 million in client funds. According to the complaint filed today in Colorado federal court, Etana commingled custodial assets, spent them on operating expenses and risky investments, and falsely reported balances as intact. When Kraken attempted to withdraw $25 million in reserve funds in April 2025, Etana allegedly stalled with fabricated reconciliation issues. It didn't have the money. Payward claims at least $16 million was funneled into promissory notes from Seabury Trade Capital, which defaulted. Etana also allegedly used client assets to run a forex hedging strategy while pocketing the returns. Throughout, account dashboards continued showing customer balances as fully secure. Colorado regulators issued a cease-and-desist in 2025. Etana entered court-supervised liquidation in November. Not your keys, not your coins. The lesson keeps repeating itself.
