🚨WARNING🚨 Ladies and gentlemens, royals and dignitaries, followers and subscribers we have now entered the event horizon. The critical level of support has been breached, and it is now a significant and major problem for the bulls. The broadening pattern I have been updating for months is now playing out. This majestic yet devastating pattern carries serious consequences. The wave that follows the fifth reference point touch of the pattern is usually the most brutal. The next few days are critical. If downside momentum picks up, it won’t be pretty. Stay vigilant, remain diligent, perhaps a little curious, and above all stay informed. (A plethora of charts for subscribers daily.) Yours truly, The Great Martis✨

🚨 LMFAO! President Trump to SCOTT BESSENT: "Is this guy central casting?! I look at him. He might not be so good for war. Even the glasses are PERFECT!" "Where do you get those glasses? I think I'm gonna get glasses like that." 😂😂 We love Bessent!

Ever wonder why the British, the EU and NATO were always up to their eyes in Mideast negotiations, which never solved anything? President Trump has a better idea. prometheanaction.com/the-midweek-up…

Richard Feynman didn’t just revolutionize physics; he diagnosed the fundamental sickness of modern status-seeking. To Feynman, the Nobel Prize was a "pain in the neck." While the world fixates on the external validation of the Swedish Academy, he viewed the "honors" as fundamentally unreal—a distraction from the only metric that actually matters in high-level pursuit. His philosophy provides a masterclass in intellectual autonomy: 1. The Kick of Discovery: The "prize" is the moment of insight, not the medal. If the work itself isn’t the reward, the accolade is a hollow substitute. 2. The Utility Filter: Real prestige isn't a title; it’s the observation that other brilliant people are actually using your work to build the future. 3. The Institutional Trap: He resigned from the National Academy of Science because it devolved into a "who's who" club. When an organization spends more time gatekeeping than innovating, it’s dead. We live in an era of "profile-first" achievement where the badge often precedes the breakthrough. Feynman reminds us that true "nobility" in work isn't decided by a committee—it’s found in the pleasure of finding the thing out. Validation is a lagging indicator. Focus on the kick. In a world obsessed with digital badges and titles, what is the one "kick of discovery" in your own work that no trophy could ever replace?

At Agincourt in 1415, outnumbered Englishmen under Henry V faced the full strength of French chivalry. Mud. Rain. Chaos. The longbow darkened the sky, and the field became a graveyard for the enemy. The red cross on white. The cry: God for Harry, England. Not numbers. Not luck. Discipline. Nerve. Men who held the line when it mattered. This is who we come from. Honour them. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

x.com/PrometheanActn… This is an absolute banger… love this lady 🚨 While President Trump was building a new diplomatic space with Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan & Gulf States — UK, EU & NATO were NOT at the Table Susan Kokinda delivered a sharp, historically grounded breakdown of a seismic shift in global diplomacy. President Trump is forging direct, back channel talks with Iran through a new regional "Board of Peace" — while the traditional Western players (UK, EU, NATO) are completely sidelined and increasingly powerless. Kokinda frames this as the end of old empire-style leverage games, the weakening of Iran's proxy network, and a harsh reality check for Europe’s self-inflicted energy woes. - Iran’s Proxies Are Crumbling Fast and the new architecture is already delivering tangible wins: Lebanon is moving against Hezbollah, the Palestinian Authority is openly condemning Iran, and Hamas is reportedly considering disarmament. Kokinda highlights how these developments strip Iran of its leverage without needing direct U.S. military action. It’s a classic Trump move — use regional players who actually have skin in the game (and shared interests in stability) to squeeze the problem. - No Oil, No Gas, No Seat: Europe’s Self-Made Energy Collapse. Why are the UK, EU, and NATO absent? Because their Green policies and anti-Russia sanctions have left them with absolutely ZERO leverage when it comes to Energy. Kokinda points to rushed LNG imports and a delayed vote on banning Russian oil as symptoms of desperation. Europe literally can’t sit at the table — it has no oil or gas cards to play. This isn’t just about the current talks; it’s the end of Europe’s ability to dictate terms in the Middle East or globally. The old British/EU financial and energy chokeholds (think City of London influence) are being dismantled in favor of American-led manufacturing, AI, and real energy security. - With Europe and Britain stripped of leverage, the endless proxy war in Ukraine is losing steam, and fast. Zelenskyy is scrambling for last-ditch support in London and Washington as the “sponsor” (Western backing) fades. The regional focus on Iran de-escalation redirects attention and resources away from the Ukraine conflict, leaving Zelenskyy exposed. It’s a broader signal that the old globalist forever-war model is over. - Kokinda connects this to Trump’s broader strategy: redirecting Gulf wealth (hundreds of billions) into U.S. manufacturing instead of London banks, promoting nuclear power and critical minerals, and rejecting “Kissinger-style managed conflict.” Iran reportedly gave Trump a “very big present” (likely tied to safe Hormuz Strait passage for oil/gas tankers) as a goodwill gesture. This is the death of the one system (British/EU/NATO-dominated globalism) and the birth of another (transactional, reality-based regional deals).

@EMBurlingame nice identifications

Sport of Kings - Lesson #28 My nephew, no more important words can I share, than these. They’ll come for your advisors first—that much is true. But the real danger, the knife that will find your throat while you’re still watching the door, isn’t the man who counsels you. It’s the priest. The bishop. The cardinal. Even the one who sits at the head of the Church itself. These are powers in their own right, my nephew, a house older than any of ours, and they believe themselves the ultimate power above every family, every Don, every crown. Your enemies will use them against you, and the Church will move on its own behalf, because it sees your house as nothing more than a piece on its eternal board. Three ways they move, and you must see every one clearly. First, they flatter and elevate the man in robes who already speaks with the authority of God. They whisper that his wisdom is divine, that his flock deserves a shepherd raised higher in the hierarchy—a miter, a ring, a seat closer to the throne in Rome. Slowly he ceases to tend your soul; he begins to serve his own rising station and the Church’s greater design. And when you resist, he turns your own faithful against you by painting you as an obstacle to Heaven’s will itself. Second, they corrupt with fear and favor. They already hold the secrets no soldier would ever know—a confession heard in darkness, a doubt never spoken aloud, a buried sin the priest believes only God should judge. Then the Church offers absolution with a price: “Serve the greater institution,” they say, “and this burden disappears.” Once the hook is set, the man of God lives in quiet terror that his own past will be laid bare by those above him. So he softens your judgments, murmurs that your strength is pride, and argues that any move against the those the Church cares for is a move against the order of the universe. Third, they plant the long lie of betrayal from within their own ranks. They feed the priest fragments of truth mixed with elegant falsehoods: that you no longer trust the Church, that you see its ancient authority as a threat to your house, that you've already begun to speak against it in your private councils. A frightened priest is a deadly one; he begins to build alliances among bishops and cardinals, gathering the faithful for the day he believes you will defy the Church. And in doing so he fractures the very loyalty that once bound your people together, turning your own blood into soldiers for a throne that answers to no earthly Don. Remember this, Vincent. The greatest threat to a Don rarely wears an enemy’s face. It's the priest who hears your prayers, the bishop who commands your countryside, the cardinal who sits in power far away, and above all the head of the Church themself—a power that sees every family as subordinate to its own eternal rule. Your enemies will wield this institution like a blade, and the Church will let them, because it believes itself the final authority on this earth. When they move against you, it'll not be with steel. It'll be with a blessing. And your house will fall thinking it's been touched by God.

@great_martis ye of little faith

Another Vietnam

@EMBurlingame i visited Bury St Edmund once and saw the ancient columns from the destroyed cathedral of the destroyed abbey, sticking up out of the turf like bones before that i had not realized the magnitude of the split between london and rome

@NakedHedgie i will have two of what you are having

There will be a land invasion. Only, not the way Trump and Bibi envisioned it.

@NakedHedgie very refreshing to me

This obscene vulgarity is so disappointing. How is this man even in government? How does he even have any job at all?

The next @Grok Imagine release will be epic. We are doubling down.

Nice to meet you @grok Thanks X for teaching the world to lear🙏🏼

Palmer Luckey explains why founders need to “make themselves obsolete” “When I started Oculus, I thought I was really good at everything… But I was only the best at a lot of things in our company because I had been negligent in my hiring process.” For example, Palmer was the best optical engineer in the company, but he realized that wasn’t something to be proud of. “That was a failure. I failed my company and my investors by making myself a critical dependency for any of our products. And the reality is I’m actually not a very good optical engineer. I was just the best at Oculus.” Once you start scaling your company, Palmer advises founders: “You have to make it your goal to make yourself obsolete, even at the things you like doing.. And that was really tough for me at Oculus because I realized I was basically playing house. I was sitting around doing things that way better people could be doing faster, more effectively.” He continues: “I give my managers the same mindset. I say, ‘Hey, your job is not to do things. It is to get them done in the best way possible. If that means you do it, then you need to do it… If that means that somebody else needs to get hired to do it, that’s what you need to do—even if you like doing it.’” Video source: @IMA_Network (2021)
