1/🧵 Oct 10, 2025 — Accurate Energetic Systems (AES) factory in TN explodes. 16 dead. Deadliest munitions blast in more than 100yrs. Facility leveled. Blueprints, prototypes, records—gone.

It happened days after the 'exploding mic' theory went viral. And then things got weird.

2/ May 1, 2025: DoD awards ONE contract ever for "MINIATURIZED-XS DEMOLITION CHARGES, ANTI PERSONNEL-XS".
To AES - to the exact building that was levelled on Oct 10. $440k. Delivery: Aug 25, 2025.
This remains the only ‘XS' device on since records began. usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD…

3/ Aug 25 (exact delivery day): Rare private flight … Heber City, UT → Nashville, TN (closest airport to AES).
Heber City = home of Butch Hibbs (bro of pastor Jack Hibbs).
No return flight logged. Who was on that flight, could it have been someone picking up the exploding mic?

The new OLC memo justifying the president's authority to conduct the Maduro raid is pretty wild. Some initial thoughts. 🧵


1. The first few pages have some fascinating details about the planning of Operation Absolute Resolve, including Maduro's hideout.justice.gov/olc/media/1423…

...the scale of the Delta Force raid, plus targets like the power station for Fort Tiuna, where Maduro was suspected to reside, and three other airfields.
2. The memo says "Risks to the mission are significant. Success will depend on surprise."

3. "Maduro's wife is also expected to be present ... she is 'known to be more aggressive and combative' than her husband"

Trust me, you can make $10k+/m trading

& there’s endless different ways to do it..

But if I had to start over from $0 this is exactly what I’d do🧵:

1. The biggest mistake new traders make is thinking they need a big account to start.

You don’t.

You need discipline, time, and education

Don't start big and lose more capital than needed

Start small and start RIGHT

Most successful traders didn’t start with $50k+.

They started with a few thousand dollars, or even less, while they were still working and saving.

Trading capital is built, not rushed.

CLARITY Act Update: BITCOIN ONLY EDITION

#Bitcoin is one of the clearest winners under the Senate Banking Committee's draft digital asset market structure bill.

TL;DR: This draft essentially codifies what the market has long treated Bitcoin as a decentralized digital commodity free from SEC securities jurisdiction while giving it special fast-track protection via the ETF clause. It's one of the most favorable outcomes possible in U.S. crypto legislation. Altcoins with more centralized histories face a bumpier path by comparison.

Here's how it specifically affects Bitcoin based on the bill's key classifications & provisions. A 🧵...

1. Classification as a "Network Token" (Non-Ancillary/ Commodity Status)
-The bill distinguishes between "ancillary assets" (tokens still tied to significant issuer/entrepreneurial efforts → remain under heavy SEC oversight with disclosure requirements) and "network tokens" (sufficiently decentralized → treated as non-securities/digital commodities under CFTC primary jurisdiction).
-#Bitcoin is the textbook example of a mature, decentralized network token. Multiple sources and community discussions highlight that BTC automatically qualifies as non-ancillary due to:
-No ongoing issuer control (no central foundation or company driving value post-launch).
-Long-established decentralization (mining, nodes, governance).
-A special grandfathering clause reinforces this: A token is explicitly considered non-ancillary (i.e., not a security) if it was the principal asset of a U.S.-listed exchange-traded product (ETP/ETF) as of January 1, 2026.
-Bitcoin spot ETFs have been live and dominant since 2024 → BTC is locked into commodity treatment from day one, removing any lingering SEC securities risk.

2. Practical Impacts for #Bitcoin
-Regulatory relief and clarity: Ends years of SEC "regulation by enforcement" threats against BTC. Oversight shifts mostly to the more crypto-friendly CFTC (similar to how gold or oil futures are handled).
-Easier institutional adoption: Banks and custodians get clearer authority to custody BTC, facilitate spot/derivatives trading, staking/lending (where applicable), and even operate nodes, listed as "incidental to banking" activities.
-Self-custody protection: The bill includes strong language prohibiting federal restrictions on self-hosted wallets/vaults, a big philosophical and practical win for Bitcoin's "not your keys, not your coins" ethos.
-Bitcoin ATMs/kiosks: New disclosure, refund, and fraud-protection rules apply, which could make the kiosk business more regulated (and potentially more expensive), but this is a minor side-effect compared to the core classification wins.
-No major downsides: Unlike many altcoins that might start as "ancillary" and need to decentralize/certify over time (with heavy disclosures in the interim), Bitcoin faces virtually none of these hurdles.

Thomas Aquinas College “Sleight of Hand”: Marketing vs. Reality

1/9 The Humility Paradox Or The Virtue of Self-Regard

TAC markets itself as a place of “formation,” “discipleship,” and “seeking wisdom with humility.” In reality, this language is a sleight of hand, masking a closed, self-congratulatory circle that prizes its own methods as uniquely “close to the truth,” breeding subtle elitism and groupthink.

2/9 Siege Mentality in Disguise

The website praises “participation in ecclesial and political communities” and “friendship in the pursuit of truth,” yet the actual culture is one of siege: us versus the world, the “remnant” against the compromised. What’s claimed as community is really an echo chamber that insulates, not engages.

3/9 Sophistry in the Syllabus: Rigor Theater

The curriculum dazzles with a mile-wide, inch-deep reading list: Bible, Plato, Aquinas, Newton, Marx, Freud, and more. The appearance is of comprehensive mastery.
In practice, the Socratic “discussion method” is so inefficient that only snippets or selections can possibly be covered. There’s zero transparency on how much is read, deliberately. This is rigor theater: all the gravitas, little substance. “Formation in wisdom” is code for time-sliced, shallow, prestige signaling.

@MaureenSteele_ yesterday you spoke about the importance of TRUST. Today I have some new critical info on #FOIAs you and @annvandersteel team may like to look more closely. It is all about how thin the fabric of public market trust has become. @cvpayne

It is well documented that #MMTLP / #MMAT / #TRCH and holds the world record for # FOIA requests, with 1,500+ filed and less than 0.05% ever produced.

Let that sink in. World record.

For years, the explanation has been familiar:
MMTLP-related FOIAs, especially those tied to Blue Sheet data, are being withheld (due to an “open investigation”, not only from the issuers and shareholders but even from Congressional inquiries @MikeCrapo )

Maybe that’s true.
Maybe it isn’t.

But what matters now is what the @SECGov has FORMALLY admitted on the record.

The document below is not speculation, not a leak, not an activist memo.

And once you read it, you can’t unsee it...

It is an official filing by the SEC Division of Enforcement:

“Bluesheets as a Service – External System (BSS), Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)”
Dated: August 29, 2025

The SEC’s own public version is here:
sec.gov/files/pia-bss.…

And in my opinion, this document does something extraordinary.

It doesn’t just explain privacy controls, but how “trust us” has become THE governance model. It explains how accountability is professionally deferred. It explains how the system politely looks away.

Let's dive in...

What the SEC is asserting

The SEC is relying on FOIA Exemption 7(A) (law-enforcement interference) to block almost 100% of #MMTLP FOIAs, asserting that disclosure would interfere with an ongoing investigation.

That is legally permissible in isolation.

The Bluesheets as a Service (BSS) PIA, dated August 29, 2025, (sec.gov/files/pia-bss.…) confirms that:

1. The SEC does not control the accuracy of the core investigative data it relies on.

2. BSS has no mechanisms in place to check for accuracy of submitted data.

3. Accuracy is explicitly delegated to broker-dealers and clearing firms, i.e. the very parties under investigation.

4. FINRA operates the system as a cloud SaaS, and the SEC consumes pre-processed outputs downstream.

5. The SEC itself acknowledges the system is used for market reconstruction, yet:
-does not verify raw inputs,
-does not independently validate transformations,
-does not own the infrastructure end-to-end.

This above is not a theory, it is stated plainly in Section 6.3 of the PIA...

Implication:
The SEC is asserting “open investigation” protection over records produced by a system it admits is non-verifying, third-party dependent, and opaque.

The SEC's Section 6.3 admission fundamentally reframes every MMTLP #FOIA denials related to the share count and Blue Sheet data, etc. justified by “open investigation”.

The admission also means that the @SECGov does NOT verify the accuracy of the Blue Sheet data it relies on.

The BSS system seems to have ZERO built-in accuracy checks.

The data comes from broker-dealers and clearing firms, the very parties under investigation!

Errors are attributed to “coding” or “systems issues”. Sound familiar? #MMTLP

And yet, the data is still used for market reconstruction and enforcement decisions⁉️🥳
