🚨 NEW DOCUMENTS: NIH scientists charged with attempting to smuggle monkeypox into the United States had a years-long history of skirting rules for moving dangerous pathogens.

2/ I previously revealed that Vincent Munster of NIH’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories was also part of the initial pitch for a DARPA proposal known as DEFUSE to create coronaviruses that would have been suspiciously similar to COVID-19 — with EcoHealth Alliance, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and Ralph Baric.

1/ Igor 'Strelkov' Girkin predicts that Russia will be stripped to the bone – "IN THE EVENT OF DEFEAT, THEY WILL TAKE EVERYTHING FROM US—UP TO AND INCLUDING NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND SOVEREIGNTY" – in a long and deeply gloomy commentary posted on Telegram. ⬇️

2/ Girkin, who is currently in a prison for former security officials in the Kirov region, analyses the deteriorating situation in the war and warns that Russia is not going to end up in a good place:

3/ "Having taken a breather during the so-called "ceasefire," the enemy has begun a long-planned campaign to "isolate the front from the rear to great depth ," as many observers and authors have quite correctly noted.

What just happened?

The S&P 500 just erased nearly -$2 TRILLION of market cap just hours after 3rd strongest US jobs report in 18 months.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is officially down over -50% from its record high in October 2025.

What's happening? Let us explain.

(a thread)

Just 3 days ago, the S&P 500 hit its highest level on record as AI stocks skyrocketed.

Today, the S&P 500 posted its largest drop since October 2025.

Meanwhile, the biggest news of the day was the 3rd strongest jobs report in 18 months.

This has left many investors confused.

In fact, even President Trump commented on the decline after the jobs report.

Trump said “stocks should go up, not down” after today’s jobs report.

However, when you look beneath the surface, it's fairly clear that stock do NOT want a strong labor market over the near-term.

This is my complete argumentation against Foster vs. Neilson and by extension Medellin v. Texas.

"Article V1, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution ended with, "and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."

"This is a direct pre-emptive counter to the entire argument and concept behind "non-self-executing treaties" that was ignored."

"It was designed to ensure that the moment a treaty is finalized, no court, no governor, and no politician has the legal authority to claim it is non-binding."

"The Supreme Court's invention of "non-self-executing treaties" is not a complex legal interpretation but a literal act of judicial rebellion against the plain command of Article VI."

"Article VI is in plain words stating that treaties are to be unaffected by Judges."

"A treaty under article VI becomes the defunct law of the land upon signature, this is different from drafting and passing a local law. If one wants to limit responsibility to a treaty then the U.S. must retract it's signature and form a new treaty."

"Anyone would reasonably interpret "finalized" as in meaning "agreed and signed" there is no room for adding additional steps as I've stated it explicitly barred judges from interference."

"This argument treats the treaty-making process identically to the constitutional amendment process. When an amendment is ratified, it becomes the law of the land instantly."

"This is the explicit intention of the first half of article VI "Article VI, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution (The Supremacy Clause) states that all treaties made under the authority of the United States are the, "Supreme Law of the Land."'

"There is no hesitation or hedging in this, it was designed to ensure that the moment a treaty is finalized, no court, no governor, and no politician has the legal authority to claim it is non-binding."

"The Supremacy Clause treats three things exactly the same: The Constitution, Federal Laws, and All Treaties."

"By placing treaties in the exact same grammatical and legal bucket as the Constitution itself, the text implies they share the exact same operational DNA."

"No judge would ever dare argue that a newly ratified Constitutional Amendment is "non-self-executing" and requires Congress to pass a secondary law before it takes effect."

This is also my challenge to Citizens United vs. FEC.

"Lobbying is not petitioning, and it is not Free Speech. Lobbying is a corrupt adaptation of petitioning, a exit path for failed politicians, a disregard for democracy, and literally Paid Speech."

"Petitioning and Protesting is Free Speech, do not conflate them."

"To achieve true democracy, donation caps should be removed along with candidate/party endorsement limits to truly make representation free, fair, and equal."

"Regardless of class or party, citizens should be able to endorse whoever they feel represents them the best."

"That's what donors have been doing since 2010 through corrupt bipartisan policy lobbying enabled by the supreme court's ruling in favor of Citizens United."

"Making all political donations anonymous by law and creating a modern system to allow that is necessary to eliminate silent quid pro quo loopholes currently available in today's system."

"With anonymous donations, donations would need to require proof of citizenship, but not be tracked by politicians to eliminate backtracking loyalties in policies/politics upon submission, only an acting and qualified security task force should be allowed to see and verify entities."

You know what? I wanna do a thread about the Shibui/Hade distinction that underlies Japanese aesthetics since a mutual brought it up. Please read! 🧵

Very often when people talk about Japan, they’ll use the word “contrast” a lot, usually about tradition/modernity, but this is usually a euphemism for Japan’s odd fusion of asceticism and maximalism. Foreigners often assume this is a euro-style high/low culture gap. It isn’t!

Philosopher Kitaro Nishida wrote in the 1900’s, when Japan was rapidly modernizing, and surmised that core to Japanese worldview was a rejection of Hegel’s synthesis. While Westerners would try to rectify opposites, Japan would let them fight, and draw culture from that fight.

1/ Russia's corrupt elites are drinking 'Long Epstein Island' cocktails in St Petersburg while soldiers and civilians die, Crimea is effectively cut off, the Donbas is under constant attack, and Russian defenders struggle, an angry Russian warblogger complains. ⬇️

2/ Anger and contempt at the excesses of the St Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) has become a widespread theme among Russian warbloggers, who almost all regard it as an expensive distraction from an increasingly difficult war.

3/ 'Ural PartiZan' writes:

"The elites [at the SPIEF] increasingly look like bourgeois citizens feasting on champagne-drenched pineapples and cold-smoked hazel grouse in 1917.

$BTC 📈

What now??🤔

🧵 Here’s a thread on what happened, and why now is probably not a good time to start panicing 👇

We can start with the HTF: Support is clearly closing in, while price is moving into technical levels we typically only see around bottoming structures.

2/7 The HTF gives us context, where price stands relative to historic performance and behavior.

But without MTF structure and volume, that context is incomplete: we need to tell whether BTC is being accumulated or distributed: weak low v. strong bottom.

3/7

Once we identify where liquidity is tested/absorbed (position building) and where liquidity is accumulating (fuel), we can judge the range.

Is it a weak low (re-distribution)?
Or a strong bottom (accumulation)?

We did this with the 80.5K low👇

🧵World Cup Refs Thread:

52 refs have been named to go to the #WorldCup. The belief is there’ll be 32 main + 16 support refs.

Tried to follow the most likely options from the chatter on Law5.

Data from Transfermark
ChatGPT has given some officials a glow-up.

ABDULRAHMAN AL JASSIM
Country: Qatar 🇶🇦

Took charge of two matches at his home World Cup in 2022, including the third-place play-off. Overall, he showed 8 yellows & awarded 1 pen. Also refereed May’s AFC Champions League Elite final.

PIERRE ATCHO
Country: Gabon 🇬🇦

Limited data for this official, so using his AFCON record, where he took charge of a semi-final at this most recent edition. The 33-year-old has only shown 7 yellows in 5 games across CAF Champions League & Confederations Cup.

Over-explaining is a form of emotional begging.

It keeps you trap in a cycle of anxiety.

How to say less and mean more:

Over-explaining is a habit response. It comes from emotional monitoring. When we believe someone might feel upset or hurt by something we say, we over-explain to try to please the other person and to protect ourselves.

The issue with over-explaining is, we're creating a story about how someone will feel before we actually give them a chance to tell us what they think or feel.

Second teenage boy who was in the tent the day of the stabbing is testifying now.
He recounts that Austin Metcalf asked Karmelo Anthony to leave. Austin was initially not upset. The back and forth between the two boy started and then "things got more serious." Karmelo wasn't even looking at Austin. "He already knew what he was going to do,' the second teen is saying.

Second teenager, who is black, says that Austin even called out Karmelo when Karmelo put his hands in his backpack. According to the second teen, Austin said something like, "This is Frisco. You don't have anything in there.'  And all the other teens agreed.
The second teen was sitting right next to Karmelo. Austin's shoving of Karmelo wasn't even hard enough that Karmelo touched him when it happened. Second teen says stabbing happened so quickly that he didn't even realize it had happened and he was sitting right next to Karmelo
'I just remember being in shock and not really knowing where to go,' the second teen says once he realized what had happened.
Prosector: Did it seem like Austin was trying to pick a fight?
Second teen: no sir
Prosecutor: Did it seem like Karmelo wanted to pick a fight?
Second teen: yes sir

Under cross examination, the second teen describes the shove Austin gave Karmelo as a "lineman drill."
"When Austin grabs Karmelo, it's almost simultaneous that Karmelo goes to stand up," the teen says.
