The Inside Job Guys not only used explosives to cut through the vertical columns, and then blast them outwards; they also used other explosives to pulverize the concrete.
I believe this was done for 2 reasons: a) to create a lot of dust, floor by floor, to obscure the
column-blasts; and b) to reduce the amount of debris that needed to be removed from the site. There were about 60,000 tons of concrete (4" thick floor slabs) in each Tower. By pulverizing all of it, the time to clean up the site was greatly reduced.
Why would they do this?
Because the longer it takes to clean up, the more eyes there would be looking at the blasted vertical columns - and the evidence of incendiary explosives would be very noticeable.
Instead, Giuliani arranged for the rapid clean-up of the site, evading all the usual protocols for

Silver is now trading in triple digits in the West: $103.11.
Not just an intraday spike, but a daily close above $100.
And not just a daily close, but a weekly close above $100.
To celebrate, here are 12 reasons why the silver rally is far from over 🧵
1) London lease rates are flashing red.
London is the world’s main hub for physical silver. Professional players there don’t just buy and sell silver, they also lend it to each other. This happens, for example, when one trader has to deliver silver soon but doesn’t have it yet, while another party does have silver in stock but only needs it a few weeks later. So the silver gets borrowed for short periods to bridge that timing gap.
Under normal circumstances, 1-month lease rates trade around 0%. Sometimes slightly higher if the lender wants to earn something, sometimes slightly lower if someone has too much inventory. Anything above 1% already signals stress. Right now, lease rates are around 2.5%. That is extreme. It tells you there is a serious shortage of physical silver. And these elevated lease rates put a very solid floor under the silver price.
2) Structural deficits in the silver market.
This is now the sixth year in a row that the silver market is running a deficit. In 2025, that deficit reached about 295 million ounces, the largest on record. The core reason is simple: demand keeps growing. Part of that comes from renewed inflows into silver ETFs, but also from steadily rising industrial demand.
At the same time, retail investors are still nowhere near fully back. If you look at the number of shares outstanding of $SLV, we are still below the 2021 peak. And that’s remarkable, because last year we had the strongest silver price increase since 1979, while the general public barely participated.
Historically, real manias and true market peaks only happen when retail investors finally pile in en masse. If deficits are already this large without retail participation, imagine what happens to the physical balance once the public does return. These shortages are not going away. They are set to accelerate.
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bow from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrow may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
José Luis “Garrafa” Sánchez ocupa un lugar singular en la historia del fútbol argentino. No levantó títulos, pero logró algo poco frecuente: convertirse en un ídolo transversal y ser recordado como símbolo de una forma de jugar que hoy parece estar en extinción.
Creció en la villa La Jabonera. Su infancia fue dura pero distinta a la de épocas posteriores, antes de que la droga se instalara con fuerza en el barrio. Muchos de sus amigos de entonces ya no están. Salió a tiempo gracias a que sus padres se mudaron cuando aún era chico.
Francisco, su padre, fue una figura central en su vida. Repartidor de garrafas de gas, trabajó junto a su hijo para sostener la economía familiar. De ese oficio nació el apodo que acompañaría a José Luis a lo largo de toda su carrera.
Os irmãos de Dias Toffoli aparecem como sócios formais do resort no Paraná, porém com endereços incompatíveis e sem rastros.
Enquanto isso, fundos ligados ao Banco Master entram no negócio, injetando milhões. 🚨👇
1— Apesar da saída formal dos parentes de Toffoli do negócio, os acontecimentos sugerem que o ministro continuou a usufruir intensamente do resort, a ponto de funcionários locais acreditarem que ele ainda seria o verdadeiro proprietário. Reportagem do portal Metrópoles revelou, com base em dados de diárias pagas a seguranças, que Dias Toffoli passou nada menos que 168 dias hospedado no Resort Tayayá de dezembro de 2022 a janeiro de 2026 – o que equivale a um em cada sete dias no período, uma frequência impressionante. Essas viagens constantes do ministro ao interior do Paraná geraram custos de R$ 548,9 mil em diárias de agentes de segurança pública, deslocados para protegê-lo durante suas estadias de lazer. De acordo com esses registros, geralmente 4 ou 5 seguranças o acompanhavam no resort, revezando-se em períodos superiores a cinco dias.
2 —Um episódio notável ocorreu no fim de 2025, quando Toffoli chegou a fechar todo o resort Tayayá para a realização de uma festa privada, segundo relatos obtidos pela imprensa. O evento mobilizou toda a equipe do hotel e contou com atrações de grande porte, incluindo um grupo de samba e a presença de convidados ilustres como o ex-jogador Ronaldo “Fenômeno”. Funcionários do resort afirmam que Toffoli seria o verdadeiro dono do Tayayá até hoje, mesmo após a venda oficial do empreendimento, tamanha é sua influência e frequência no local. Desde que o resort foi vendido para Barbosa (abril de 2025) até o início de 2026, Toffoli retornou sete vezes, somando 58 dias de hospedagem mesmo sem parentes na sociedade. Na cidade de Ribeirão Claro, segundo apuração, o local é informalmente chamado de “o resort do Toffoli”
Homem se converte e é decapitado no mesmo dia por isso
“O Deus deles é o meu Deus”
A história dos 21 cristãos coptas do Egito que foram decapitados pelo Estado Islâmico em fevereiro de 2015 ficou conhecida no mundo inteiro.
O que poucos sabem é que um deles, na verdade, se tornou cristão no dia de ser decapitado.
Todos os 21 trabalhavam juntos na Líbia quando foram sequestrados.
Matthew Ayairga, que vinha do Chade, uma nação africana, foi quem se converteu.
Segundo testemunhas, ele ficou profundamente tocado pelo testemunho de fé de seus amigos cristãos, com quem conviveu no cárcere por cerca de um mês antes da execução.
Guess who thinks the Fed might have the rate thing backwards? @wbmosler
"In an interview with Fortune, Rieder argued the Fed’s interest rate hikes are the wrong medicine for the economy’s current disease. 'It’s ambiguous to me today, at best, whether a higher [interest] rate helps bring down inflation versus actually contributes to it,” he said'." 1/
"The 14-year BlackRock veteran, who oversees $2.4 trillion in assets at the world’s largest asset manager and is known as one of the leading voices in the bond market, argued that the Fed may need to change its strategy and opt for rate cuts in order to fight the last remnants of inflation." 2/
"with higher interest rates offering a hefty reward to anyone with the cash to lend, the private sector’s lender status has created a steady, inflationary income stream in a key part of the economy." 3/

🚨⚡️Russia has officially won.. Details of the Russian-Ukrainian peace plan, and the cessation of a senseless war funded by the West, for which Kyiv paid a heavy price, while Europe was exposed and the West cracked apart.
Thread 🧵
1
The U.S.-led peace plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war in January 2026, under the leadership of President Donald Trump, includes a draft consisting of 28 points (described in some sources as a revised 20-point version) aimed at ending the conflict that has been ongoing for nearly four years.
2
The key points of the proposed plan in the ongoing trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi on January 23, 2026, revolve around the following: 1. Regional Arrangements and Borders
Ceding territory: The draft includes controversial provisions requiring Ukraine to cede parts of eastern Ukraine, including the Crimean Peninsula and areas in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia, to Russia.
Buffer and demilitarized zones: A proposal to establish buffer zones and a free economic zone in Donbas, with a Ukrainian offer to withdraw forces up to 40 km if Russia reciprocates.

Your agency has written you 50 blog posts in the past year.
How many leads did those bring you?
Probably zero, and I'll explain why:
Agencies love selling blog content because it's easy to package and charge for, but the ROI math doesn't work for most home service businesses.
Nobody reads "5 signs your water heater is failing" and then picks up the phone to call you. That person is researching, not buying, and they might not need a plumber for another 6 months.
Oh, and there's probably a less than .01% change they are in YOUR market.
The person searching "emergency plumber Austin" at 10pm with a flooded bathroom is the one with their credit card ready.
Those are two completely different people at completely different stages, and your blog content doesn't reach the second one at all.
Now if you're a custom home builder charging high six figures to $5 million per project, blogging can actually make sense for you because your buyers spend months researching before they ever reach out.
But if you're a plumber, HVAC tech, roofer, or any other service where people call when something breaks, blog content isn't built for how your customers buy.

1/ @avax $AVAX is an innovative smart contract blockchain with a strategy focused on mass customization. Here's why we think Avalanche can stand out in this competitive market segment.
2/ Avalanche has a unique blockchain design. Unlike other smart contract platforms, Avalanche separates network functions across three integrated chains:
• X-Chain: asset creation & transfers
• C-Chain: Ethereum-compatible smart contracts
• P-Chain: validators & creation of Avalanche L1s
This design enables scale without sacrificing decentralization and network integrity.
3/ Different smart contract platforms prioritize different design choices. While Ethereum prioritizes credible neutrality and networks like Solana and Sui optimize speed, Avalanche differentiates itself through mass customization.
Applications don’t compete on one shared network—they run on tailored blockchain environments.

term limits:
- increase polarization
- increase the influence of lobbyists and outside groups
- decrease the connection between legislators and constituents.
- term limited electeds do much less constituent service work than non-term limited electeds.
nearly all political science evidence demonstrates that term limits at best, do nothing, and at worst, make things far worse!
a season legislator will know how to write legislation, work the legislation through the legislative process, and negotiate with other members to pass it. a new legislator does not know any of those things, and thus becomes reliant on staff, and outside groups.
Сегодня решила уйти с Tele2 к Megafon с сохранением номера. После заявки на перенос и оплате тарифа уже новому оператору, мне пришло СМС от Tele2:
Пришла в салон Tele2, где мне показали на компе, что оказывается мой номер платиновый и стоит 15 000 руб., что писать претензию можно, но бесполезно, будет отказ. Однако, если я решу остаться у них, этот долг аннулируется.
Ни во время заключения договора, ни после не вставал вопрос об оплате «красивого номера». Вернулась в Мегафон, и пока, отменила перенос номера. Они ужаснулись цене в 15 000 руб и сказали, что мой номер обычный. Тут же Теле2 мне прислал третье смс:

(Adapt the following according to the specific situation)
When the torrent of insults has subsided, calmly state:

let us put them to work. We are going to perform a Reframing Exercise. I want you to stop focusing on me and start looking at the internal architecture of your own defense. Look back at the words you just used to attack me.
You called me '...,' '...,' or '....' (mention words you have heard). In psychoanalysis, we call this The Projective Identification. These aren't descriptions of me; they are the exact fears the Abrahamic/Mosaic virus forces you to carry.

I think I've kind of discerned that both Garrigous's view of the necessity of premotion for sufficient grace to ever become efficacious, as well as Marin-Sola's view of congruism, are both flawed ways of viewing the salvation of a soul
For if you truly wanted to preserve God's sovereignty and human freedom, you would frame salvation in terms of narrative providence. Augustine IMO is the best way to simplistically and elegantly preserve both in their totality.
“So you, Lord, while I was turning away from myself, turned me toward yourself… You ordered all the things that had to be done, so that my former life became hateful to me.”-Confessions VIII, 12 God does not premotively determine Augustine's will but rather he arranged his life.

Geoengineering is not new, US military patents were used as far back as during the Vietnam war, to flood with rain Vietcong paths to prevent resupply: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation…
Today, the EPA has acknowledged its occurrence but remains impotent to stop it:
Several states have recently banned geoengineering, such as Tennessee and Florida, however most solar radiation management is done at the federal level, (mostly via the US DOD), so state laws like this one is sadly ineffective.

🧵 Why can oxygen worsen respiratory failure in COPD?
Many clinicians still fear giving oxygen to COPD patients.
The reason they’re taught?
"Loss of hypoxic drive"
But this is mostly a myth.
Here’s what really causes oxygen-induced hypercapnia 👇
Oxygen does NOT usually cause dangerous hypercapnia by stopping breathing.
Studies show:
- Ventilatory drive remains high
- Minute ventilation recovers quickly
- CO₂ continues to rise anyway
So what’s the real mechanism?
1️⃣ Worsened ventilation–perfusion (V/Q) mismatch, the BIGGEST factor
High FiO₂ reverses hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, sending blood to poorly ventilated alveoli → ↑ dead space → ↑ PaCO₂
This explains most of the CO₂ rise
🚨 CUSTO MASTER: O esquema de R$ 30 bi, a "proteção" de Ibaneis e a volta do jatinho da Libertadores
O escândalo do Banco Master não é apenas bancário. É um retrato do mecanismo de poder no Brasil.
Hoje, o caso explodiu em três frentes: risco de quebra em 5 estados, confissão de influência política e mordomia de ministro.
O fio condutor do colapso institucional! 🔥👇🏼
2️⃣ A Bomba de R$ 30 Bilhões
A contaminação do BRB (Banco de Brasília) com ativos podres do Master virou um problema de Estado.
Segundo a CNN, o banco administra R$ 30 bilhões em depósitos judiciais de 5 estados (DF, BA, MA, AL, PB).
Se o BRB sofrer intervenção por falta de liquidez, esse dinheiro trava.
Para a Justiça não parar, os governos estaduais teriam que cobrir o rombo.
3️⃣ A Armadilha da Expansão
O risco se espalhou porque o BRB venceu licitações no Nordeste oferecendo o "Pix Judicial", conectando tribunais direto ao BC.
O que era solução virou pesadelo: a fraude do Master corroeu o caixa do banco que guarda o dinheiro dos processos da Bahia, Maranhão, Alagoas e Paraíba.

The victim of genital mutilation must understand that the "mark" is a historical artifact, not a definition of his soul.
Validation of the Sensory Deficit:
Using neuro-anatomical data (e.g., Taylor et al., 1996), we validate the patient’s feeling of "numbness" or "loss."
There was an altercation during a break at the trial of John Smith with allegations of death threats. It made news in Canada. Please investigate, including the YouTube revenues. @Interpol @OCCRP @UNODC @ICIJorg @USDOJ_Intl @UNHumanRights @ICCT_TheHague @democracynow @StateCGAC
Details: Police officer Michael Fanone was arguing with Ivan Raiklin at a break during Smith’s hearing. Fanone stated on video that Raiklin allegedly threatened to rape his kids and kill his family. He explained all that on YouTube here.
None of this issue is reflective of the actual hearing re: Jack Smith.
Both Fanone and Raiklin frequently use YouTube as a media platform and I in my view, don’t know if this altercation was staged or not. I do hope the concerns of Fanone are reasonably investigated.
La denuncia de la esposa de un preso político sobre presiones indebidas por parte de actores que deberían proteger —diplomacia, Iglesia, sociedad civil, ONU— no es un hecho menor. Es una señal de algo más profundo.
2/ En contextos autoritarios prolongados, estos actores suelen convertirse en sustitutos parciales del Estado de derecho: no solo ayudan, también encarnan y materialian expectativas morales de protección y justicia.
3/ Cuando esos referentes fallan o presionan indebidamente a las víctimas, no solo hay una irregularidad institucional: se produce una crisis de autoridad moral. Se socializa la desconfianza y la anomia ante la ausencia de faros que representen el "deber ser"
THE BIOLOGICAL RANSOM: AN EDITORIAL ON THE COLLECTIVE PSYCHOSIS OF THE WEST VIA THE ABRAHAMIC/MOSAIC BRANDING OF THE SLAVE
For centuries, Western man has walked a tightrope over an abyss of his own making, clutching a blood-stained contract he no longer remembers signing.
We call it "tradition" or "hygiene," but in the cold light of the clinic, it is revealed as a Biological Ransom. By persisting in the ritualized excision of the infant prepuce, Western society is not merely performing a surgery;
it is renewing its lease on a form of Abrahamic/Mosaic slavery that demands the sacrifice of the sensory self to the demands of a vengeful, archaic Super-ego.
As of 0500z, 11 states had declared states of emergency and 1 state (Texas) has issued a preemptive disaster declaration.

LAS VACACIONES PAGAS NO FUERON UN REGALO, FUERON UNA CONQUISTA

PM the reason why Gareth Jenkins was not a witness in 2019 comes from a 2018 discussion around the Clarke Advice which was when in 2013 GJ was revealed to have misled the courts. The extent to which GJ's knowledge was relied on during Bates was referred to extensively...

I have been seeing far too many misinterpretations and too many accusations resulting from those misinterpretations of the Trump Board of Peace.

However, it has now been expanded into a new concept, so this is an explanation.
1. The Board of Peace idea started with Gaza as a way of getting international support for ending Hamas and rebuilding the mess that Gaza has become, and
2)
as a plan to create a framework for negotiating peace worldwide.

Yesterday I reported that Lue Moua, a migrant DHS has been insisting is "at large" in Minneapolis--one of the guys they broke down ChongLy Thao's door supposedly looking for--has actually been in state prison since a felony conviction in 2024.
Last night, @TriciaOhio responded, saying in part: "We are calling on Governor Walz and Mayor Frey to turn this child predator over to ICE, so we can get him out of country where he can never prey on innocent American children."
Amazingly, this is yet another example of top DHS officials seemingly have zero knowledge of basic conditions on the ground in Minnesota. Moua is in state prison in Faribault; the mayor of Minneapolis has zero say over what happens to him now or ever.

2/17 En Europa, cuando sale algo nuevo, los reguladores se encierran en una sala a imaginar todo lo que puede salir mal. Luego diseñan normas para evitar esos problemas hipotéticos. En Estados Unidos se preguntan: ¿qué normas podemos ELIMINAR para que esto despegue?

Davos fue la plataforma para lanzar la Junta de la Paz de Trump. Vamos a explicar cómo funciona y analizar cuál es su impacto porque luego de descubrir algo de lo grotesco de su estructura, se descubre un riesgo oculto que puede borrar las sonrisas. Sale hilo
Primero hay que explicar es que es una ampliación del mecanismo creado por Trump para llegar a un cese en fuego en Gaza, que en realidad no puede llegar a la fase 2 porque Israel se opone a la integración de Turquía y Qatar en los mecanismos de gobierno y control militar de Gaza
La violencia en Gaza sigue y Hamas nunca se desarmó por lo que la Junta nace con un fracaso de origen. Ese primer dato dice que su propósito no es la pacificación sino la promoción de un modelo de gestión de crisis. El segundo objetivo es aumentar la influencia global de Trump
I’ve shared with you before about a poster I had in my room as a teen. The poster depicted a contrast between light and darkness.
Beloved, what will we do when we come to the edge of all the light we have? Will we walk from the light into the fog; fog that causes us to either retreat in fear, or stand still paralyzed, unable to move at all?
The Word of God tells us that faith walks ahead even when it can’t see where the path ahead lies, or what awaits us on that path.
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Netaji later wrote: “Nobody has done more harm to me than Jawaharlal Nehru.”

Reforma de la Ley de Hidrocarburos en #Venezuela define cómo será ahora el negocio.
Aprobada ayer 22 de enero en primera discusión con mayoría chavista.
¿Cómo funcionaba el modelo petrolero y cuánto cambia con este giro histórico es impulsado por el chavismo? 🧵
Durante dos décadas, Venezuela operó bajo un modelo petrolero fuertemente estatizado defendido por el chavismo como expresión de soberanía. Ese esquema permitió alta discrecionalidad de recursos y fértil "cooperación" internacional con gobiernos amigos.
La Ley de Hidrocarburos de 2006 (norma que rige el negocio) estableció que toda actividad petrolera debía hacerse mediante empresas mixtas y que PDVSA tenía que ser siempre socia mayoritaria y controladora de los proyectos. El capital privado no podía operar por cuenta propia.

Serhii Sternenko — the new advisor to Ukraine’s Minister of Defense on UAVs.
Serhii Sternenko is 30 years old. He is a volunteer, civic activist, and one of the key public figures behind Ukraine’s wartime drone movement. 1/
Since 2022, Sternenko has worked systematically to supply Ukraine’s Defense Forces with drones.
This is not occasional fundraising. It includes procurement, testing, delivery to combat units, frontline feedback, and public analysis of UAV effectiveness. 2/
During the full-scale war, initiatives linked to Sternenko delivered thousands of drones to dozens of units.
These UAVs now account for a significant share of Russian personnel and equipment losses on the battlefield. 3/
1/ China's response to Trump's invitation for Beijing to join the launch of his shambolic Board of Peace was direct - they're not interested. Officially, they cited their fidelity to the centrality of the UN as the reason for their denial. (short 🧵).
2/ Unofficially, Beijing likely did not want to give a boost to a US-led global initiative through its own participation. This has been a longstanding position. The US also typically withholds its participation and endorsement for Chinese-led initiatives.
3/ Privately, I expect Chinese leaders were bemused by the outcome of Trump's effort. He assembled a rogue's gallery of leaders for his launch, and in the process, advertised how much connectivity the US has lost with its closest allies and partners.
For those who don’t have context, Bitlocker is the built-in drive encryption in Windows. This is supposed to protect the data on your machine from being accessed without authorization. In many configurations, Windows will upload a recovery key to your Microsoft cloud account.
The problem is that these recovery keys aren’t encrypted end-to-end in a way that Microsoft can’t access. So if law enforcement wants to access your encrypted drive (even without knowing your password) they can just ask Microsoft for the key. And Microsoft will hand it over.
Many blame the UC Regents for banning the use of the SAT in admissions.
I watched the full board meeting in the archives. The truth is many Regents supported keeping the SAT, but they were pressured away from doing so by then-UC President Janet Napolitano.
Regent Lansing: "I am a believer in data, and in science. And all of the data that I have listened to from the faculty says that the test, and you said it yourself in the beginning Janet, is not an impediment"
Regent Makarechian wants a test to make sure we don't "bring in people who are going to jam up the whole classroom and waste a lot of time and not be qualified to even get in"
Sounds like what we witnessed with the UCSD report -- how prescient.
He also later says those students who aren't yet qualified should instead go to community college to fill in the missing knowledge, and they could then transfer to UC later. A great idea in principle, but now impossible that AB 1705 bans remedial courses in CA community colleges.
The Troubled Odyssey of the GDLS AJAX Programme: A Chronicle of Procurement Failures
Views my own, corrections welcome.
1/25
In the annals of British defence procurement, few sagas rival the protracted and scandal-ridden journey of the AJAX armoured vehicle programme (but E-7 seems to be giving it a good run for its money). Conceived as a cornerstone of the British Army’s modernisation efforts, AJAX promised to deliver a family of cutting-edge platforms capable of revolutionising reconnaissance and combat operations in an era of networked warfare. Rooted in the late 1990s’ Future Rapid Effect System (FRES) initiative, it evolved into a £5.5 billion contract awarded to General Dynamics Land Systems UK (GDLS-UK) in 2010 for 589 vehicles across six variants: the reconnaissance-focused AJAX, the ARES personnel carrier, the ATHENA command vehicle, the ARGUS engineer reconnaissance variant, the ATLAS recovery vehicle, and the APOLLO repair platform.
These vehicles were envisioned as digitally integrated marvels, boasting superior mobility, sensor fusion, and data-sharing capabilities to align with the Army’s multi-domain operations doctrine. Yet, what began as a beacon of innovation has devolved into a quagmire of missed milestones, manufacturing blunders, health and safety catastrophes, and institutional intransigence. Drawing on exhaustive reports like the Sheldon Review (2023), the Ajax Noise and Vibration Review (2021), parliamentary evidence sessions, whistleblower testimonies, and the latest update from Defence Secretary Luke Pollard on the 22nd January 2026, this thread attempts to unravel the programme’s timeline. It exposes how commercial pressures from GDLS-UK and the Army’s unyielding push for capability have consistently trumped the welfare of service personnel. Special emphasis is placed on the pivotal role of the Institute of Naval Medicine (INM) report, which laid bare the severe noise and vibration risks, with direct quotes (just to remind everyone) underscoring the gravity of these failures. As I go deeper into this narrative, the evidence paints a damning picture of systemic failures that have allowed AJAX to limp forward, at great human and financial cost.
Origins and Contract Award: Seeds of Controversy (Late 1990s–2010)
2/25
The AJAX story traces its roots to the post-Cold War era, when the British Army sought to replace its ageing Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) fleet with something more agile and technologically advanced. Initiatives like the Tactical Reconnaissance Armoured Combat Equipment Requirement (TRACER) and FRES laid the groundwork, but by 2010, the MoD opted for GDLS-UK’s ASCOD-based design over rivals such as BAE Systems’ CV90. This choice was not without debate: critics argued that selecting an unproven adaptation of the ASCOD—primarily to diversify suppliers and avoid a BAE monopoly—introduced unnecessary risks. The contract emphasised assembly in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, touting economic benefits like job creation, but it also locked in a firm-priced structure where GDLS-UK shouldered cost overruns, potentially incentivising shortcuts.
Initial projections were optimistic: an in-service date around 2017, with vehicles enhancing NATO interoperability and addressing capability gaps exposed in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, the bespoke modifications—over 1,200 unique requirements—transformed ASCOD into a complex, heavy, custom beast, setting the stage for future woes.
Early Manufacturing and Timeline Slippages (2010–2014)
3/25 From the outset, production decisions sowed discord. The first 100 hulls were fabricated in Spain by GDLS-UK’s parent company, sparking concerns over quality assurance and supply chain vulnerabilities. Inconsistencies in welding and hull tolerances emerged early, issues that would later manifest as debilitating vibrations. By 2014, the MoD formalised the £3.5 billion manufacture phase, aiming for Initial Operating Capability (IOC) in July 2020—a squadron deployable with full support.
Yet, the programme’s timeline had already ballooned by three years, a harbinger of deeper problems. The overlap between demonstration and manufacturing phases, intended to be brief, stretched perilously, amplifying risks as prototypes informed production without full validation. These early slippages reflected an underestimation of the engineering challenges in adapting a foreign platform to (1200+ extra) British specifications.
We're 24 days into 2026.
Let me show you what's happened—and why this month will define the entire year... 🧵
2/ Jan 2-3: Markets open year with uncertainty
Santa Claus rally FAILED to materialize
"January Barometer" (84% accurate) started shaky
Lesson: 2026 won't be like 2025's "everything up" year
3/ Jan 6-9: CES 2026, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang keynote
AI hype still strong
But focus shifting from software to PRACTICAL applications
"Show me revenue" phase beginning
Lesson: AI narrative maturing, speculation fading
Next Tuesday-Wednesday: Fed meeting.
Expected rate decision: NO CHANGE (3.50-3.75% holds).
Markets pricing: 0% chance of cut.
So why does it matter?
Because Powell's COMMENTARY could move markets more than Intel earnings did. Here's why... 🧵
What Powell will address: 1. The DOJ Criminal Investigation
Will he mention it? Defend himself? Stay silent?
His response (or non-response) matters for Fed credibility.
Silence = letting accusations stand
Defense = appearing political
Either way = awkward
The SCOTUS Case (Trump v. Cook)
Oral arguments suggested Fed independence will be preserved.
But ruling hasn't come yet.
If Powell comments:
"We're confident in our independence" = Reassuring
"We're monitoring the situation" = Concerning
Let me show you the most important chart of 2026:
Gold: +9% this week, +77% past year, at ALL-TIME HIGHS
S&P 500: Flat this week, +16% past year, near highs but struggling
This divergence is SCREAMING something. Here's what... 🧵
Normally, gold and stocks move INVERSELY:
Stocks UP → Risk on → Gold down
Stocks DOWN → Risk off → Gold up
But right now:
Stocks: Flat to slightly up
Gold: MOONING
This is rare. And important.
What it signals:
Investors are saying:
"I want to own equities (growth potential) BUT I also need insurance (gold) because I don't trust the system."
Translation: Hedged optimism or nervous bull market
A🧵
@scotgov is going to court to defend its policy allowing males who claim they are women into women's prisons Their argument? A "blanket rule" housing prisoners by biological sex would violate their human rights
This disregards the human rights of women in Scottish prisons
@scotgov claims: “only a minority of "transgender" prisoners have been held in prisons of the opposite sex” & it “has not given rise to any significant operational issues”.
Reality check: The Scottish Government's own Criminal Justice Committee in 2023 heard from women prisoners
They told the Committee
“incredibly violent men were walking around the communal shower area and sometimes clearly aroused”
“women were in cubicles with only a curtain”
“I was shaking with fear”
Intel crashed 13% despite beating earnings.
This isn't just about Intel.
It's a WARNING SHOT for every tech stock that's run 50-200% and is "priced for perfection."
Here's who's next... 🧵
The Intel playbook:
✅ Stock runs 145% on "turnaround story"
✅ Analysts upgrade (14 upgrades in Q4)
✅ Retail FOMO's in at highs
✅ Company beats earnings
❌ Guidance disappoints
💥 Stock craters
This is going to repeat.
Who's vulnerable:
Criteria:
Up 100%+ in past year
Trading at >30x forward earnings
"Story" driven more than fundamentals
Earnings coming up in next month
Names that fit:
What a week.
Tuesday: Dow -870 points (panic)
Wednesday: SCOTUS saves Fed (relief)
Thursday: Intel crashes despite beat (reality)
Friday: Gold hits $4,967 (new paradigm)
Here are the 7 lessons that will define the rest of 2026... 🧵
Lesson 1: Headlines Create Volatility, Not Direction
Tuesday's -870 point crash was driven by:
Greenland tariff fears
Fed independence concerns
By Friday:
Tariffs canceled
Fed likely protected
Markets HIGHER than Monday
Takeaway: Don't trade headlines.
