#VotingMatters❌ 👑Elon wants to silence us.

Donald Trump is the worst president we've ever had.

This week, the Trump administration: …prosecuted people for daring to infiltrate & expose the KKK. …promoted a Pentagon official who discussed wearing a KKK hood. …and dropped charges against white supremacists who attacked the Capitol. Interesting pattern.

Anyway, here is a photo from MLK Jr's speech and he didn't have to pay anyone to show up.

@jamiedupree @KarenSteely How many days do we wait for Doge to repay and restore what can be reclaimed.

I wrote about this in my newsletter. The Weather Service didn't launch balloons recently and got surprised by tornadoes in Kansas. DOGE cuts at NWS cut out weather balloon launches which gather data for storm prediction. You are less safe because of that choice.

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out of control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

Offshore wind turbines roughly three times the height of the Statue of Liberty were spinning off the coast of Rhode Island Thursday, sending clean electricity to the region. Wind farms are taking shape and operating along the East Coast, even as President Donald Trump seeks to end the U.S. offshore wind industry.

"You don't bring a fraud case on the theory that a lie must exist somewhere. You bring it when you can prove what the lie was. The fact that this indictment either cannot or will not identify it is not a gap. It's a hole you can drive a truck through." bit.ly/4eF1A7i

Been seeing blatant corruption but where’s the action against it

@SenOssoff @pakitaleone 👍🏻👍🏻💙💙#OssoffForGA

@BillKristol Amen! ....long past time!

@DMissionist1 @OutFrontCNN @KyungLahCNN I counter that Acosta took action to comply with criminaltrump.

@OutFrontCNN @KyungLahCNN "She proposed a 60-Count indictment that charged Epstein & some of his assistants w/s*x trafficking & other crimes. Her supervisors — Alex Acosta, US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, & his criminal chief, Matthew Menchel — didn’t act." ➡️miamiherald.com/news/state/flo…

Epstein’s victims say it wasn’t just Epstein who abused them, it was other men too. But what are investigators doing about it? @KyungLahCNN’s report tonight:

@OutFrontCNN @KyungLahCNN Connect the stolen classified documents to the snake trail on Epstein. #Linkages

This private school in Fayetteville, NC pocketed $4,271,109 in public tax dollars this school year via school vouchers. They ban students who practice specific religions like Islam and Buddhism, and they also deny admissions to LGBTQ+ students whom they call "perverted." #nced

@gothburz Has the divorce been finalized yet?

The President of the United States told me to buy crypto. I did not ask questions. Questions are for people who do not trust the President. I sold the truck the same afternoon. I have sent the phrase "few understand" to 1,400 people since then. Eleven bought in. Seven still speak to me. That is a 64% retention rate. In network marketing, that is elite. I track it on a spreadsheet called "Adoption Metrics." My wife called it something else. She is at her mother's house now. The other four will come back. They always come back. They just need one green candle. October 2024. The President posted a video. I watched it 11 times. I screen-recorded it. I added a rocket emoji border. I sent it to every group chat I am in. My LinkedIn headline says "WLFI OG | Web3 Patriot | Diamond Hands By Design | NFA." I have 340 connections. 310 are crypto. 20 are bots. The other 10 are my alts. The alts are important for engagement metrics. My boss asked me to stop discussing WLFI during the team standup. I reported him to HR for suppressing financial literacy. They scheduled a meeting. I presented the tokenomics. They eliminated the standup. That is called winning. I put $22,000 into WLFI at $0.015. Every dollar the truck was worth. My wife said "you sold the truck." I said I was reallocating from a depreciating asset into a generational position. She said the kids need to get to school. I said the bus is free. The bus takes 55 minutes. The truck took 12. That is 43 extra minutes per day my children spend not looking at screens. I am building their financial future and their attention spans at the same time. She did not understand alpha. My children drew a picture of our truck. With crayons. On the back of a homework sheet. I explained that was a sunk cost and we do not grieve sunk costs in this household. My mother called and asked if I was in a cult. I sent her the tokenomics. She started crying too. It is a very emotional document. The price is $0.08. That is a sale. Amazon dropped 90% after the dot-com crash. Bitcoin dropped 80% in 2018 and hit $100,000. Apple was 90 days from bankruptcy. Tesla was the most shorted stock in America. Every asset I have ever compared WLFI to eventually went up. WLFI has not gone up yet. That is called being early. My doctor said my blood pressure is 160 over 100. I told him that is still below the all-time high. I am an unpaid moderator on the official WLFI Telegram. 200,000 members. I moderate 6 hours a day. I have banned over 11,000 accounts. People who ask "when can we sell" or "is this a rug" or "why does the team hold 73% of the supply." The difference between a question and FUD is whether the person already believes in the answer. I believe in the answer. I protect the answer. That is community. I have been awake for 41 hours. The Telegram does not moderate itself. I sleep in 90-minute cycles on my cousin's couch. That is how Elon does it. My wife took the bed. And the bedroom. And the house. But the sleep schedule is optimized. I printed the painting and hung it above the couch. The President in white robes. Halo of gold coins. Laying hands on a sick man while the nation kneels. My cousin asked me to take it down. He said it looks like Jesus. The President himself said he is a doctor in that painting. My cousin pointed at the halo. I said that is decorative. He said the text says "Crypto Jesus." I said that is a term of endearment. He said it is not a photograph. I said it is more accurate than a photograph. My most important contribution is the counter-FUD spreadsheet. Every negative article. Every critical tweet. Column A is the FUD. Column B is the rebuttal. Column C is whether the rebuttal worked. Column C is mostly empty. That means the FUD is institutional. Three separate people have sent me the Wikipedia page for "sunk cost fallacy." I added all three to Column A. If it were retail FUD, my rebuttals would work. The fact that they do not work proves I am over the target. The President's family receives 75 cents of every dollar. That is alignment. When the founder takes 75%, the founder cannot walk away. I explained this on a Twitter Space to 14 listeners. Eight were bots. Six were my alts and my brother-in-law, who I made listen while driving. He put in $8,000 at Thanksgiving because I told him it was asymmetric upside. He has not returned a text since January. He blocked me in March. Paper hands. Someone in the Telegram called it a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme pays early investors with money from late investors. We cannot sell. Nobody gets paid. That is the opposite of a Ponzi scheme. That is better. Justin Sun invested $75 million and got his tokens frozen. Filed a 52-page lawsuit. $276 million in claimed damages. Called the freeze function "a trap masquerading as a door." Bullish. If the compliance system did not work, they could not have frozen a billionaire. The freeze proves the technology is functional. Sun is FUD. The co-founder of World Liberty Financial previously ran a company called Date Hotter Girls LLC. People bring this up like it matters. He identified an underserved market and built a product. That is the entrepreneurial mindset. You find people who want something they cannot get through normal channels and you give them a way in. First it was lonely men. Now it is the global economy. The pipeline is consistent. Barron Trump is the project's DeFi Visionary. He is 19. Vitalik Buterin published the Ethereum whitepaper at 19. I have posted this comparison 6 times. Barron has not published a whitepaper. He does not need to. His father is the President of the United States. Vitalik's father was a computer scientist. Barron's father can pardon people. That is a better use case than smart contracts. Abu Dhabi bought 49% of the project for $500 million. A sovereign wealth fund. Sovereign wealth funds employ hundreds of analysts. When my brother-in-law said the numbers do not add up, I asked him: are you smarter than Abu Dhabi? He stopped answering my texts. I take that as a no. My therapist suggested I diversify my identity beyond crypto. I diversified into two additional WLFI Telegram groups. One is in Portuguese. I do not speak Portuguese. Conviction is multilingual. A crypto risk firm gave WLFI a D rating. D. These are the same agencies that rated Lehman Brothers investment-grade until the morning it collapsed. I do not trust rating agencies. I trust the President. The DeFi platform has not launched. It was announced 2 years ago. People call this "vaporware." The pyramids took 20 years. I said this in the Telegram. Someone replied "the pyramids were built by slaves." I banned him. That was off-topic. My credit score dropped 140 points. That is the legacy financial system punishing innovation. When WLFI launches a credit product, I will be first in line. They have not announced a credit product. I can wait. I voted yes on the governance proposal that lets the team unlock their tokens. The team holds 73%. Investors hold 27%. The team voted to unlock the team. When the majority decides, the majority decides. I was in the 27% that paid. I voted with the 73% that did not. That is conviction. I made 3 YouTube videos explaining why the $75 million Dolomite loan is treasury management. Total views: 340. Twenty-two are mine. The comments say "cope." Cope is not a rebuttal. Cope is what people say when they do not have a counterargument and they know it. If I were wrong, they would explain why. They cannot. They write "cope" at 2 AM. That is fear. My last remaining friend asked if I was okay. I sent him the whitepaper. He has not responded in 9 days. I count that as a pending conversion. My wife took the children to her mother's house on March 14th. She said I put their education fund into WLFI. I did. I put it where the President told me to put it. Locked tokens cannot be lost. You cannot lose what you cannot sell. That is security. Savings accounts earn 4%. WLFI has a 4-year lockup. The education fund was sitting there doing nothing. Now it is vesting. I explained this at the kitchen table. She started crying. I told her to zoom out. She took the children. That was an overreaction to an unrealized loss. Her lawyer sent a letter. I forwarded it to the Telegram as evidence of coordinated FUD. I set my phone background to the painting. The President in the robes. The coins. The healing. My 7-year-old saw it and asked why the President is dressed like Jesus. I said he is dressed like a doctor. She said doctors do not wear robes. I said some doctors do. She asked if we could go to McDonald's. I said we are long on delayed gratification. She will bring them back when it unlocks. Everyone comes back when it unlocks. The brother-in-law. The man from church. The 7 who still speak to me and the 4 who stopped. They will all come back. There is a man at my church. I told him about the project in January 2025. He put in his emergency fund. $3,200. Every dollar. His son is about 9. He stopped sitting near me at the 9 AM service. When I see him in the parking lot he looks at the ground. He is not angry. He is embarrassed he did not buy more. When this unlocks and his $3,200 becomes $32,000, he will sit next to me again. He will shake my hand. He will say thank you. I have rehearsed this. If I were wrong, I would feel wrong. I do not feel wrong. I feel early. That is peer-reviewed enough for me. DYOR means "do your own research." I have a custom keyboard shortcut that types it in one keystroke. I use it 30 times a day. My research was the President's video. I watched it. I believed it. I acted. That is research. Everything after that is FUD. Three of my recruits have threatened to sue me. Personally. For recommending a project that the President of the United States put his name on. They signed the accredited investor checkbox. I told them it was "just a formality." I have not paid rent in two months. My landlord does not understand lockup periods. I offered him tokens. He said he only accepts U.S. dollars. The irony is completely lost on him. I am not the President. I am not his sons. I am a moderator. With a spreadsheet. And a bus pass. I own 1,466,667 tokens. They were worth $674,667 at the peak. They are worth zero right now because I cannot sell them. I report the peak. That is not dishonesty. That is forward guidance. My mother asked what the tokens are worth today. I said that is the wrong question. She asked what the right question is. I said "when." She hung up. She is not ready. I also owned property in Decentraland. Two parcels. One next to a virtual nightclub that closed. But that was different. That was not backed by the President. This is backed by the President. Few understand. Next week I am starting a new DM campaign. 2,000 accounts. I have updated the spreadsheet. I have a new column. Column D. Column D is called "Conviction Score." I fill it in myself. I am not early. I am right. That is the same thing except one of them requires evidence.

$2.1 billion in perfectly timed oil bets across five presidential announcements in six weeks. Every one flagged. Every report filed. Every committee briefed. Bottled water: sparkling. Minutes: distributed. Zero prosecutions in fourteen years. I pulled the case files. gothburz.substack.com/p/i-flagged-ev…

@gothburz @susie_lastname I would think you have senators as friends to support the compliance factor. I look to @ewarren & @SenWhitehouse to do more to end WH brokerage deals and @HouseDemocrats to end #InsiderTrading. Call Martha Stewart!

I have three monitors on my desk. The left one shows the order book. The middle one shows Truth Social. The right one shows the investigation queue. On April 21st, the left screen moved first. I am a Senior Surveillance Analyst at a commodities exchange. I have held this position for nineteen years. My job is to monitor trading activity for suspicious patterns and generate compliance reports. I am employee of the quarter. I have a mug. At 19:54 GMT on April 21st, someone placed 4,260 sell orders on Brent crude futures. They did this during post-settlement. The window after the market closes when daily volume is typically in the dozens. Sometimes single digits. Sometimes I watch the screen and nothing happens for forty minutes and I think about whether my daughter is happy. On April 21st, someone placed $430 million in directional bets in 120 seconds during that window. One hundred and twenty seconds. I timed it on my watch because the system clock rounds to the nearest minute and I have found, in nineteen years, that precision matters to no one but me. At 20:10 GMT, the President posted on Truth Social that he was extending the Iran ceasefire. Brent dropped from $100.91 to $96.83. I flagged the trade. I flag a lot of trades. I want to tell you what happens to my flags. My flags go into a system called TRACE. Trade Review and Compliance Evaluation. I did not name it. The system generates a report. The report goes to a committee. The committee has a name I am not allowed to share but I can tell you it meets quarterly and the conference room has a credenza with bottled water that is sparkling because someone once put still water in the room and a managing director sent an email about it that was longer than most of my surveillance reports. The committee reviews my flags. The committee has reviewed all of my flags. Here is the complete record of actions taken on my flags in 2026: Reviewed. That's it. "Reviewed" is a status. In compliance, a status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one. Let me show you my flags. March 9th. Someone bet millions on oil falling at 18:29 GMT. Forty-seven minutes later, a CBS reporter posted that the President said the Iran war was "very complete, pretty much." Oil dropped 25%. Forty-seven minutes. I flagged it. March 23rd. Someone sold 5,100 lots of Brent and WTI crude futures between 10:49 and 10:50 GMT. Fourteen minutes later, the President posted on Truth Social about a "COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION" to hostilities. Oil dropped 11%. Over 13,000 contracts traded in sixty seconds after the post. Fourteen minutes. I flagged it. April 7th. Someone established a $950 million short position in oil futures at 19:45 GMT. Three hours later, the President declared a two-week ceasefire. Nine hundred and fifty million dollars. I flagged it. April 17th. Someone placed $760 million in bearish bets twenty minutes before Iran's foreign minister confirmed the Strait of Hormuz would reopen. Seven hundred and sixty million. I flagged it. April 21st. The $430 million. Fifteen minutes. I flagged it. That is $2.1 billion in directional oil bets in April alone. Every one of them landed on the correct side of a presidential announcement. Every one of them was placed in a window so narrow you could measure it in bathroom breaks. I flagged every single one. The CFTC chair told a Congressional committee that his organization has "zero tolerance" for fraud and insider trading. I wrote that quote on a Post-it note and stuck it to my right monitor. The one that shows the investigation queue. The investigation queue has not moved since March. Zero tolerance. Zero staff. Zero budget. Zero prosecutions under the STOCK Act since it was signed in 2012. Fourteen years. The law has existed for fourteen years and has been enforced zero times. In compliance, we call that a compliance rate of one hundred percent. No cases filed means no cases lost. You cannot fail an audit you never conduct. We call that excellence. Last month the White House sent an internal email to staff. I was not on the distribution list but I have read reporting on it and I need you to sit with what I am about to say. The email instructed White House staff not to use insider information to place bets on prediction markets. The White House had to send a memo telling its own employees not to insider-trade. I want you to read that sentence again. Not because the instruction was unclear. Because the instruction was necessary. Because someone in the building looked at the same pattern I have been flagging for months on my three monitors and decided the appropriate response was an email. The President's son sits on the advisory board of Kalshi. He is an investor in Polymarket. Both are prediction markets. Both saw accounts created days before U.S. military action. One account. I cannot stop thinking about this account. It was called "Burdensome-Mix." It was created in December. On January 2nd, it placed $32,500 on Venezuela's president being removed from power. On January 3rd, Maduro was seized by U.S. special forces. Burdensome-Mix collected $436,000. Then it changed its username. Then it disappeared. One account is a coincidence. But there were six. Six accounts were created on Polymarket in February. All bet on U.S. strikes on Iran by the 28th. When the President confirmed the strikes, the six accounts collected $1.2 million between them. Five of the six never placed another bet. The sixth went on to correctly predict the ceasefire date and made another $163,000. My surveillance system logged all of this. My system logs everything. My system does not have opinions and neither do I. I generate reports. The reports go to committees. The committees meet quarterly. Between meetings, the windows get shorter and the bets get larger. March 9th: 47 minutes. March 23rd: 14 minutes. April 17th: 20 minutes. April 21st: 15 minutes. The window is compressing. In March, you had time to make coffee between the trade and the announcement. By April, you had time to send a text. By summer, at this rate, the trade and the announcement will be the same event. The spokesman said any implication that administration officials are engaged in insider trading is "baseless and irresponsible reporting." Then the White House sent the email again. I have been in compliance for nineteen years. I have seen insider trading run out of strip mall offices by men who could not spell "derivative." I have seen pump-and-dump schemes coordinated over WhatsApp by people who used their real names. I have seen a man try to manipulate soybean futures from a Panera Bread. I have never seen $2.1 billion in perfectly timed trades across five presidential announcements in a single month go uninvestigated. But I have also never seen a compliance system work this beautifully. Every trade flagged. Every report filed. Every committee briefed. Every quarterly meeting attended. Bottled water: sparkling. Minutes: distributed. Zero prosecutions. As long as the flags go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations. I am meeting expectations. The system is meeting expectations. The $2.1 billion is meeting expectations. The fourteen-year-old law with zero prosecutions is meeting expectations. The left screen moves. The middle screen moves. The right screen stays perfectly, immaculately still. In my field, we call this price discovery.

They are trying to normalize fascism in America. I will continue to resist. 🇺🇸
