Daniel Davenport, my dad decided to run for USA President. Most know he submitted his plans to pay down debt with HBAR by collateralizing strategic material. Yes we still keep our property. He will be at HederaCon. @leemonbaird @ManceHarmon

@threadreaderapp “unroll”

If you do not click links go to Google and type:

“daniel davenport parcel 19 federal reserve”

Then look for “FEC Form 2”

Read why he is running and Hedera is mentioned clearly. He created the parcel-19 interoperability for gov-fi launching.
Vote for him in 2028.

He is alright, we bump heads; but honestly, if you want the debt paid down in 30-50 years our families solutions can get it done.

This information is absolutely critical to the Iran war. Let’s do a thread! 🪡 🧵
Even with makeshift ONSHORE storage, Iran only has enough storage space thirteen days of pumping capacity. How long has the naval blockade been in place? Per @CENTCOM no Iranian tankers or oil are making it out of the Persian Gulf. That means we are a day or two or three before storage is 100% full. That means the oil derricks shut down & irreversible damage to production begins. That means the income of IRGC permanently, or maybe indefinitely is a better word, goes zero.Image
The TWO rail corridors out of Iran to China can’t handle very large volume of cargo. It is wildly insufficient to keep up with oil field production. But there’s another aspect to this, AND ROAD EXPORTS, that no one is talking about.

People talk in terms of cargo capacity, & rate of travel in regards to road & rail communication lines. Thats normal. People (consumers) & producers (manufacturers) think in terms of shipping goods, & that planning revolves around volume & turn around/delivery time.

Now I’m gonna teach you another way to think about it.Image

The current inability of most of the GCC countries to get oil to market is a much bigger threat to the US economy than the possibility that some GCC countries (and not just sanctioned countries) might sell some oil to China for yuan ...

1/
selling China oil for yuan also doesn't immediately crete "euroyuan" -- not if the funds are only used to buy Chinese manufactures/ held on deposit in China (as Russia and Iran have sometimes been forced to do)

2/
Brendan Greely did us all a favor by reminding us that the surge in petrodollars came when the Gulf states oil revenues surged faster than their domestic spending -- creating funds that had to be parked offshore

Maj. Gen. McCasland was lead advisor for a UFO book that opens by tying UFOs to the astral realm/shamanism, stating “The appearance of the saucer is a manifestation of someone in a parallel universe using ceremonial magic to enter our world.”

He called them “mystical machines.” From “Sekret Machines: Gods” by Peter Levenda
The book is “Sekret Machines: Gods” by Peter Levenda and Tom DeLonge.

Here are the WikiLeaks emails showing McCasland + Lockheed Skunk Works VP Rob Weiss meeting about the book. Tom states McCasland “was in charge of all the [UAP] stuff” and “helped assemble my advisory team.” Image
Image
Within the same project, McCasland also explicitly states that the Roswell craft was made by the Nazis.

He was head of the lab it was taken to, and Executive Secretary of the Special Access Program Oversight Committee (SAPOC)—having oversight over ALL classified DOD programs.

Announcing Talkie: a new, open-weight historical LLM! We trained and finetuned a 13B model on a newly-curated dataset of only pre-1930 data. Try it below!

with @AlecRad and @status_effects 🧵
Blog post with more details:
talkie-lm.com/introducing-ta…
This model has a very different voice from modern models, and could help us understand:
1) History and cultural change,
2) LLM identity formation (what does the model think it is?),
3) Generalization to new scientific frameworks. Image

NEW: Emails show that Peter Thiel & Jeffrey Epstein's friendship was much closer than was known - and that Epstein encouraged Thiel's growing interest in & involvement in right-wing politics, introducing him to US & foreign officials to that end, some with intel ties:🧵
After Epstein's crimes blew up in the headlines in early 2015, Thiel told him he wasn't bothered - that he hoped it would blow over soon, in fact, and suggested they use it to strategize how to weather controversies. He also told him he'd visit his island. Image
Epstein showered Thiel with generosity, incl. tax advice and straight up offering him $50-$100m to invest. Thiel in turn gave him investment advice, sent him his book, and pushed him to invest $10-$20m in his firm's new fund. Image

A sovereign wealth fund is a great idea, Canada should have had one years ago. But the devil is in the details. What kind of projects will it invest in, and in what form? And how will the public interest truly be advanced over time? Many questions to be answered... #cdnecon /2
The dream: Use public capital to lead the historic development and diversification of the national economy. Build value-added and high-tech capabilities that will outlive non-renewable resources. Accumulate public wealth over time. /3
The nightmare: Shovel public capital into subsidizing private projects that can't stand on their own two feet, and do not contribute to the structural transformation and resilience of the economy. Use it like private equity, to make deals and get out fast. /4

Been made aware of this recently, so I'm gonna address it briefly.

Ant wasn't "running cover" simply because I didn't agree with the claim that OtterlyNoah plagiarized *me* specifically. He watched the stream where we went over the evidence and proved it didn't make sense.
Nor did anyone argue that whether I agree with it determines if it is plagiarism.

This is the stream where we went over it, starting at 1:22:41. For proof that I actually stated the opposite of what MauLer seems to be responding to, go to 2:10:24.

youtube.com/live/FqeBm0Iap…
Neither Comic Legend, Southpaw, or I had any connection or investment in OtterlyNoah. We had no stake in him as a person, we were simply told to go to a specific timestamp and look for ourselves. We did just that, and pointed out numerous errors.

Just for fun, I thought I'd count the number of state and federal gun laws that Would-Be Assassin #3 ignored.

Not "gun violence" laws. Just gun laws. The type that regulate possession for everyone under the theory that it somehow stops criminals.

I'm at 10 different laws.📜
(1) 18 U.S.C. 922(e). It's a federal felony to bring guns with you on Amtrak (a common carrier) unless you properly declare them in your checked luggage, which he didn't.
(2) D.C.C. 7-2502.01. It's a misdemeanor in D.C. for a non-prohibited person to possess any firearm that isn't registered in D.C.

(3) D.C.C. 7-2506.01. It's a misdemeanor in D.C. to possess ammunition unless you also have a gun that's lawfully registered in D.C. (He doesn't).

Why was there a security issue that allowed Cole Allen to fire his gun at the White House Correspondents dinner?

Vaccines according to Toby Rogers. Image
Anti-vaccine lunatic @uTobian has been appointed to the federal Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) which will hold their first meeting tomorrow. Image
@uTobian This is the same Toby Rogers who once blamed Sandy Hook on vaccines.

And RFK appointed him to a federal committee "dedicated to finding the true root causes of autism."

I wonder what he'll blame the cause of autism on? Image
