This widely recognized sentiment is often associated with Ken Poirot, reflecting on the inherent risks when vast resources and influence are combined. Similar to Lord Acton’s famous dictum that "power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely," this concept highlights that the combination of authority and avarice leads to unethical behavior, nepotism, and political instability.  share.google/aimode/mkwN2lh…

Stop calling Jeff Bezos greedy.. greed has a limit.. what he's doing doesn't.. a man with $200 billion doesn't need more money.. he needs more control.. money stops being money at that number.. it becomes infrastructure.. leverage.. power.. > He didn't build Amazon because he needed a bookstore.. he built it to own the pipe everything flows through.. > He didn't buy the Washington Post because he loves journalism.. he bought it so nobody could write about him without his permission.. > He's not raising $100 billion because factories are profitable.. he's raising it because whoever owns the factories AND the robots owns the entire supply chain.. you're asking "why does he need more money".. he doesn't.. he needs you to need him.. for everything.. from the package at your door to the product inside it to the factory that made it.. that's not greed.. greed has a number.. this doesn't have a number.. this.. this.. is something else..
Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell)@JPHilllllll

It’s just a weird sickness at some point, this level of greed. You have $200 billion dollars. You could wipe your ass with $100 bills and keep getting richer every day. Why kill thousands and thousands of jobs at this point?

🚨 Let me tell you why this Goldman Sachs headline is the most dangerous one you'll read today.. Companies spent $450 billion on AI last year.. fired tens of thousands of people to "restructure around AI".. replaced entire departments with chatbots.. And Goldman Sachs just said it contributed basically zero to economic growth.. so where did the money go? > It went to Nvidia.. $130 billion in GPU sales.. Jensen is the only man on earth who got rich from AI that hasn't produced anything yet.. > It went to stock buybacks.. companies fired people, cut costs, reported "record profits" and bought back their own shares.. the money went UP not OUT.. Jesus! > It went to a bubble.. the same way crypto money went to Lamborghinis and not infrastructure.. AI money is going to valuations and not productivity.. here's the part that should terrify you.. They already fired the people.. Atlassian 1,600.. Meta 21,000.. Block 40%.. Amazon warehouses.. the jobs are already gone.. But the growth didn't come.. the productivity didn't come.. the revenue didn't come.. they burned the village to build a city that doesn't exist yet.. and Goldman Sachs just looked at the empty lot and said "there's nothing here"

"Massive investment in AI contributed basically zero to US economic growth last year," per Goldman Sachs

Fun fact. The Monarch butterfly migration is one of the longest-known, multi-generational insect migrations on our planet. Every fourth generation lives 8 times longer than the previous generations and travels 10 times farther.

General Powell, former Secretary of State, warned that wars can escalate beyond expectation and are harder to exit than enter. It remains unclear what precisely the Trump administration expects from this war. ❓❓❓ The 2026 war in Iran has generated immense costs, with estimates exceeding $11 billion in the first week alone, or roughly $2 billion daily, according to U.S. officials and {Link: Yahoo Finance and Al Jazeera. The Trump administration is seeking over $200 billion in additional funding for the conflict, which is on top of the $1 trillion annual Pentagon budget.  share.google/aimode/OPhZj5G…

In the U.S., free speech is guaranteed by the First Amendment, covering spoken, written, and symbolic speech. That said, with freedom of speech comes great responsibility. 💬💬💬 Republican-led legislative efforts, such as the IGO Anti-Boycott Act (H.R. 867) (2025) and the Antisemitism Awareness Act (2024), aim to penalize participation in boycotts against Israel and broaden the definition of antisemitism to include certain criticisms of the state. These bills, often bipartisan, propose fines up to to 1 million and prison time, raising significant concerns over First Amendment free speech violations. share.google/aimode/KiF7WVR…

NOBODY KNOWS HOW FUCKED THE SITUATION IN THE PERSIAN GULF ACTUALLY IS. 3,200 ships are TRAPPED in the Persian Gulf right now. Crews are running out of drinking water. One ship called the local port authority and BEGGED for permission to dock — just to get water. They were DENIED. 💀 Let that sink in. These aren't military ships. These are commercial vessels — carrying oil, grain, electronics — with civilian crews who are now stranded with NO supplies and NO way out. – 3,200 ships STUCK ⚠️ – Crews running out of WATER 💀 – Port authorities REFUSING to let them dock ⚠️ – Multiple ships reporting the SAME situation 💀 ⚠️ For context — the Suez Canal crisis in 2021 blocked 400 ships. This is EIGHT TIMES worse. And nobody is talking about it. They're showing you missile interceptions and oil price charts. They're NOT showing you thousands of crew members slowly running out of drinking water in the middle of a war zone. If these ships start getting abandoned, the environmental disaster alone would be catastrophic. Thousands of tons of fuel, cargo, chemicals — just sitting there. This is not a shipping disruption. This is a HUMANITARIAN CRISIS unfolding in real time. Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨 X is hiding this. Follow + RT before it disappears. 🔥

@namwella1961 Unique as he is in many ways, Trump is not the first president to gaze out the White House windows and wonder if one day he might wake up behind bars. However, Trump is the first President ever to be criminally indicted. Others have come close though. gov.ca.gov/2025/12/16/tru…

Daily Beast: The Cato Institute accused Trump, Marco Rubio & Kristi Noem of charging migrants $1.3 billion in fees for visa processing & other services they had zero intention of providing. Critics are calling it “the largest fraud in the history of the U.S. immigration system.”

Soooooo... Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent refuses to release Epstein's financial documents from the Treasury Department. Wonder why? Ehud Barak, former prime minister of Israel who's all over the Epstein files, set up some Israeli companies in 2015. One main company was Ergo, which he used to sell private intelligence and geopolitical advice to clients, including Scott Bessent's team when Bessent worked at George Soros's hedge fund. Barak used the Ergo company to create and control another entity called Sum (a kind of investment partnership in Israel). Jeffrey Epstein invested money into Sum through his U.S. Virgin Islands company Southern Trust, to become a limited partner with a roughly 50% stake. Who else thinks Bessent is hiding something he doesn't want people to see by refusing to release the financial docs? 🙋‍♀️

There is an old tree approximately 150years old in the village of Dinosa in Montenegro. This tree has been gushing water since the 1990's It sits on underground streams, its hollows release water when pressure builds after heavy rain.

Did you know? Archaeologists found 3,000-year-old honey jars in Egyptian tombs, and they're still edible. Honey never expires due to its low moisture, high acidity, and natural hydrogen peroxide. Bees even add enzymes that boost preservation.

The F-35 was supposed to be unkillable. That was the whole point. Lockheed Martin spent thirty years and four hundred billion dollars, the most expensive weapons programme in human history, building an aircraft that the enemy simply could not see. Not on radar. Not on infrared. Not on anything. The F-35 was not just a fighter jet. It was a theological statement. America’s way of saying: we have moved beyond the reach of your missiles, your sensors, and your prayers. Iran apparently didn’t get the memo. Somewhere over Iranian airspace on March 19, 2026, an IRST system, infrared search and track, the kind of sensor your grandmother could probably explain, looked up, found the F-35, and locked on. Not because Iranian engineers are geniuses. Because the F-35, it turns out, is extremely hot. All that engine. All that thrust. All that carefully sculpted stealth geometry, and the bloody thing glows like a kettle. The heat signature data Iran now holds is not just embarrassing. It is a gift that keeps giving. To Moscow. To Beijing. To every procurement ministry on the planet that has been quietly wondering whether to spend the money on systems designed to kill this aircraft. The answer, as of this week, is yes. And here is the bit that should really worry the Pentagon. You can patch software. You can redesign coatings. You cannot reprogramme a pilot’s brain. Every F-35 driver who takes off from here on knows, actually knows, that someone down there might be able to see them. That changes everything about how they fly. Caution replaces aggression. Hesitation replaces instinct. Four hundred billion dollars. And in the end, it was done in by a heat sensor. Tremendous. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

This exchange just happened in Congress. Senator Cohen to FBI Director Kash Patel: “The people you fired were experts on Iran, were they not?” Patel: “I don’t believe so.” Cohen: “They worked in counterintelligence, did they not?” Patel: “I’m taking you at your word.” Cohen: “You’re the director. I’m not. You should know the answer.” The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation does not know who he fired. Does not know if they were Iran experts. Does not know if they worked in counterintelligence. Is taking a senator’s word for it. This is the man running America’s domestic intelligence agency during the most severe national security crisis since 9/11. Iran has activated sleeper cells. Encrypted communications intercepted as operational triggers. A war with no exit strategy. Joe Kent resigned because the investigation was stopped. Charlie Kirk’s last words to Kent: stop us from getting into a war with Iran. And the FBI Director doesn’t know who he fired. Or what they knew. Or what America lost when they left. Never stop connecting the dots.

Big profits for oil companies from high gas prices. 🛢️🛢️🛢️ The Trump administration has stated it is not considering restricting oil and gas exports to lower prices, despite rising costs. Officials argue such restrictions would worsen foreign shortages, increase global prices, and have negative geopolitical impacts. Meanwhile, reports suggest oil companies are seeing increased profits. share.google/aimode/UWXYqgT…

$200 BILLION IS ENOUGH TO: - Double the annual per‑person spending on K–12 education. - Expand the ACA tax credit for 7 years. - Provide up to 2 million people the SNAP benefits they need. - Provide a middle class tax break of $3,500. Instead, we will spend it on an illegal war. This is only the beginning. More money will be wasted. More lives will be lost.
