🧵 Last night I received a disclosure from a new FBI whistleblower regarding the J6 pipe bomb case.
This is the third disclosure I’ve received from current and former employees of the government regarding the pipe bomb case in recent weeks.

🧵 These brave moral people could lose their jobs and wreck their careers, but they care deeply for our country.
So at the risk of editorializing, I will summarize what I learned from this newest disclosure in order not to disclose the identity of this whistleblower.

🧵 The community where the suspect was arrested is populated with several employees of the FBI, Secret Service, and police. Many of them have observed the suspect on walks over the years.

Turns out @profplum99 just did a 3-hour podcast with @PeterMcCormack (thanks for the shout-out).
Well done!
Here is something important to understand as we discuss these issues, and it's one reason I believe progress in economics and policy may come from the finance sector.

One thing we know about living things is that they self-reproduce. That means they grow multiplicatively.
The reason capitalism feels so alive is that capital and personal wealth do the same. Every finance professional knows this; it's the geometric Brownian motion model.

So what happens by default to inequality in these systems?
It increases indefinitely. Roughly, one entity ends up dominating. Econophysicists call this "wealth condensation" -- do nothing, let the system run, and wealth condenses into the hands of a small elite.

Don't want to spend $1,000s on a coach?
Below are the 24 tips I'd give to anyone needing to drop a significant amount of body fat:
Don't want to spend $1,000s on a coach?
Below are the 24 tips I'd give to anyone needing to drop a significant amount of body fat:
1. Creatine. You should take it, your friends should take it, your parents should take it. It's great for strength, building muscle, and cognition. 5g/day forever.
2. Don't post pictures of yourself going to the gym on social media. In the beginning, people may cheer you on. When they stop, you'll lose motivation and quit. Do this for yourself & show up as a new person out of nowhere.
Whenever a cinema breaks the existing norms ..there will be negative comments at the first because it’s not what people expect and they dint even imagine that it’s possible
People saw mass movies , super hero movies - which are usually A Center movies but they never saw ..

.. a mass super hero movie. Although Akhanda 1 had glimpses of it , it did not fully explore this genre. When they saw it for the first time on screen (Akhanda 2 premiers) they couldn’t believe what they saw and made a judgement that it’s not logical
Superhero movies defy logic but we accept them, mass movies defy logic but we accept them. But some ppl couldn’t accept a mass super hero and are questioning logics which they ignore in first two cases.
If you see this as a new genre and with open mind you’ll enjoy the movie

1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was dropped in May by @AFergusonFTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.
2. The evidence we can now see demolishes the core argument made by opponents of the Robinson-Patman Act. They claim not enforcing the law has led to lower prices. But this new material shows the opposite: Pepsi forced all grocers besides Walmart to raise their prices.
3. Pepsi monitors prices at Walmart's competitors. If they see other grocery stores starting to match or beat Walmart on price, an alarm goes off in Pepsi and a team swings into action.

Henric kindly points out that banks create most of the money supply.
But...
That money is issued as loans, which with interest, must be repaid, any profit from productive loans is a result of State money spending.
Buckle up, a long thread.

Commercial banks create the QUANTITY of money (deposits) through lending, the QUALITY & finality of that money depends on central bank.

Can we talk, briefly, about the Church Times article from yesterday which addressed the "whistleblowing" case one of my friends took to the Church of England, in which it was revealed that either a church organisation or a Safeguarding Officer had fabricated documents
The article is here, and actually came out yesterday after I had spent the day personally reading and reviewing the whole case ruling, 80+ pages, myself
This is not a simple case, and it's not a "church=bad" case and it indicates other victims

1. Activates self-eating
Fasting activates autophagy - your body's cellular cleanup system.
This can protect you from:
- Cancer
- Alzheimer's
- Chronic inflammation

2. Boosts hormones
When you fast, your body doesn't produce much insulin.
This allows growth hormone levels to spike:
- Burns fat directly
- Improves recovery
- Builds muscle mass

Warfare is governed by two inherently opposing logics: the “economic” logic of optimization and balance, and the logic of decision—overwhelming force at a critical point that decides an outcome. This tension runs through all levels of war.
🧵
🧵
The logic of economics encompasses purely attritional warfare, although it also extends far beyond: warfare by balance sheet, allocating forces to where they can get the best casualty ratios, while defending terrain whose capture might improve the enemy’s ratio.
This can apply to anything from tactical dispositions to force structure. Exploiting Ricardian advantage—itself a concept borrowed from economics—to maximize cost-effectiveness is an application of economic logic to grand strategy.
"I want to create a buffer in Mexico to stop the cartels."
The problem isn't the presence of TOO MANY gendarme in Northern Mexico.
The problem is the presence of armed criminals who threaten American property owners in the course of their smuggling operations.

This means, to a degree beyond even NAFTA:
- Harmonizing local Voter Credentials with US Real ID, or issuing Real ID to locals
- Syncing local vaccine schedules to America's
- Conducting a local census, to US standards
- Promoting English

Then you're also:
- Administering education to Mexicans, according to a standard somehow commensurable with US GEDs.
- Harmonizing water, power infrastructure to US federal standards.
- Surveying property to US standards.
