New Zealand authorities arrested this man for exposing the government’s COVID vaccine data.

What he uncovered inside the vaccine batches was horrifying.

When Barry Young, a former Ministry of Health employee, examined the data, he was alarmed to find a 21% death rate tied to Batch ID 1.

Batch ID 1: Total Vaccinated 711, Death Count 152, 21.38% Dead

Batch ID 2 showed similar results, with a 17% death rate — Total Vaccinated 221, Death Count 38, 17.19% Dead

Batch ID 3 followed close behind, with a 15% death rate — Total Vaccinated 310, Death Count 48, 15.48% Dead

According to Young, New Zealand’s underlying mortality rate should be just 0.75%, meaning the odds of these outcomes occurring by chance are roughly 100 billion to 1.

And these weren’t isolated cases. Numerous other batches showed death rates of 4.5% and higher.

“So statistically, what we’re saying is that there is no chance that this vaccine is not a killer,” Young concluded.

And instead of triggering an urgent investigation, this data triggered something else entirely. 🧵
Every major atrocity has something in common. Most people inside the system thought they were doing the right thing.

Not because they were cruel, but because data, authority, and ideology replaced human judgment.

Every system that causes mass harm depends on one thing: People who follow the rules instead of their conscience and what they see.

That’s why whistleblowers are so dangerous—and so rare.

History’s most uncomfortable lesson isn’t that evil people exist.

It’s that ordinary people comply while only a tiny minority risks everything to object.

Despite losing careers, reputations, and their families, a small minority of people always step forward to expose wrongdoing.

It’s not because it’s easy. It’s not because they’re rewarded.

It’s because something inside them won’t let them stay silent.
Modern society tells us we’re more enlightened and more ethical because we’re data-driven.

But what happens when the data is wrong? And what if it’s wrong on purpose? What if it’s incomplete? Or if it’s used to justify decisions that contradict lived reality?

History gives us an uncomfortable answer.Image

In 2022, I watched $18 trillion in "safe, diversified" portfolios lose 16% in a single year.
The math that promised this couldn't happen?
It was taught in every finance class for 70 years.
And it just stopped working.
Here's what broke: 🧵
Modern Portfolio Theory (1952) proved mathematically that 60% stocks + 40% bonds = optimal diversification.
When stocks fall, bonds rise. Perfect balance.
It worked flawlessly through 2008, 2000, 1987.
Until it didn't.
2022: S&P 500 down 18%
Also 2022: Bonds down 13%
Both crashed together.
Financial advisors called it "a once-in-a-century anomaly."
But I pulled 100 years of data.
This isn't an anomaly. It's a reversion.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, “Another view of the anti-ICE protests.

I support ICE’s goal of arresting illegal migrants who are criminals and deporting them. Such criminals prey on the people in their own communities.

But I question how this is being done. The federal government has options. They can send in heavily armed paramilitary-looking fighters to do the arrests when the city or state refuses cooperation for political purposes, and

if they do, protests will be part of the picture. To have some big discussion whether protesters are being misinformed, whether leaders of the protests are paid (which it appears they are), changes nothing.

Modern China was created by the same establishment that controls the West, and BRICS vs the Liberal International Order is a managed dialectic.

Our story begins with Sun Yat-Sen, the 'father of modern China' and an agent of the Knights Templar and Order of Saint John: Image
1] In the year 1887, a young Sun Yat-Sen was enrolled at the Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese, graduating in 1892 as one of the College's earliest students. Image
2] These years would be pivotal in his incubation as a revolutionary, through his participation in a small circle of anti-Qing friends known as the 'Four bandits'. Image

I just watched a video where YouTuber Action Retro set up a web server on a floppy disk using ELKS (the Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset). I thought, I have to try this for myself! Let's talk about it briefly in a 🧵 Image
Image
So, first of all, what is ELKS? It's the Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset, and it will run on a wide range of hardware, including 8088 systems. Pretty wild for a modern product! If you want to read more or try it out, GitHub repo is here: github.com/ghaerr/elksImage
Alright, let's go. I need to choose a system that will support the networking for ELKS. Turning to the Wiki, as of right now, the network cards supported are NE1000, NE2000, Western Digital 8003, Western Digital 8013, and 3com Ethernet III (3c509). My 486 DX4 has a 3Com 3c509! Image

That means he was armed, with the potential of shooting up to 36–45 shots, prepared to shoot up to that many.

A “peaceful protester”? Other videos show him behaving very differently from being peaceful—screaming at ICE officers and damaging ICE vehicles.

But I’m not letting ICE off the hook. The right thing for ICE to have done, through all these protests, is that when a protester starts to damage federal property, starts to endanger the officers, or starts to obstruct ICE personnel in doing their legal job,

🔥🔥🔥Breaking possible conspiracy to commit election fraud in Fulton County! Georgia Attorney General that knew about the ballots not adding up right, chose to never do anything about this. (Was video from last week and to be provided below.)

Well, that same Attorney General gave the Trump Resistance, ACLU, access to voting machines etc.

NO ORGANIZATIONS SHOULD EVER BE WORKING ON ELECTIONS! Especially the Trump resistance.

You see, my friend @TheAndersPaul has always had emails that had proven ACLU access to ballots, registrations and machines. Recall the ACLU is part of the Soros Democracy Alliance Trump Resistance. And Soros ran the Partnership for Safe Voting which gave his folks such access. (I’ll link it below.)

Looks like we may possibly have a conspiracy here. I’ll also show the testimony that confirms the Georgia Attorney General purposely ignored fraud.

Photo 1 - from my above mentioned friend, they have a lot of emails on the ACLU and Georgia elections.

Photo 2 - Soros Democracy Alliance Trump Resistance, see the ACLU on the far left? I’ll provide the link to this.

Mini 🧵 with evidence coming right up. You all know that I source till I drop.Image

The same Attorney General that gave election access to the Trump resistance didn’t act on Georgias massive election issues.

Here’s the testimony on the Attorney Generals lack of actions.
And here’s where the ACLU is listed as being part of the Soros Democracy Alliance Trump Resistance. This file has been out there for nearly nine years now.

This file was exposed by the New York Times in October 2017.

The double archived direct link is a few posts down.

Surprising numbers to track to see how long you'll live:

1. Body fat %
2. Bone density
3. Grip strength
4. 1 mile run time
5. Daily fiber intake
6. Resting heart rate

Here’s why 👇
1. Body Fat

Excess body fat, especially visceral fat, drives insulin resistance, inflammation, and chronic diseases.

Lower, healthy body fat means better hormones, better energy, and a longer healthspan.

Use the chart below to determine a healthy percentage % Image
2. Bone density

Low bone density increases fracture risk, loss of independence, and mortality.

You don’t “feel” bone loss until it’s too late. Strength training protects it early.

Strong bones are your insurance against aging.

How to make a simple algorithmic trading strategy with a 472% return using Python.

A thread. 🧵 Image
This strategy takes advantage of "flow effects", which is how certain points in time influence the value of an asset.

This strategy uses a simple temporal shift to determine when trades should exit relative to their entry for monthly boundary conditions. Image
The signals for when to go short, when to cover shorts, when to go long, and when to close longs are all linked to these recurring monthly cycles.

This periodic "flow" of signals—month-in, month-out—creates a systematic pattern. Image

These skills are quietly disappearing, one day you’ll need one, and nobody will know what to do. read:
1. Writing in Cursive

Over 20 U.S. states no longer require cursive in schools. Most Gen Z students can barely read cursive, let alone write it. The art of elegant handwriting is fading into history.

2. Reading an Analogue Clock

Many classrooms have replaced wall clocks with digital ones. In surveys, teachers report that 1 in 3 students can't read time on an analogue clock in the US.
3. Using a Physical Map

Paper maps are nearly extinct. Studies show 90% of people rely entirely on GPS for navigation. We've traded our internal sense of direction for a robotic voice saying "Turn left."

4. Memorizing Phone Numbers

A study found 71% of people can't recall even their child's school number. Only 1 in 3 adults knows more than two phone numbers by heart.
