BREAKING🚨🚨

A company called Austin Private Wealth LLC shorted 12,000,000 shares of $DJT via a put option. The filing date is July 12th, the day before the assassination attempt.

They have around $1 Billion in assets under management and this is by far the largest put placed. According to a source the trade represents 6% of total shares and over 16%! of the float of the stock given the fact that Trump owns 60% of the company.

This is a giant bet when you consider their total AUM but wait there’s more…

To make things even more interesting, my source tipped me off with the following two images from their Bloomberg terminal.

The screenshot on the left shows the Put by Austin Private Wealth LLC, that was taken earlier this morning. It shows the 120,000 puts.

As you can see their position is by far the largest, the next closest is Citadel Advisors with 16,770.

Here is where it gets interesting, the screenshot to the right was taken later in the day and poof, Austin Private Wealth LLC is nowhere to be found. Why?Image

While you are here remember to give me a follow to stay up to date on this investigation.

Also, if you have any more information, my DM’s are open.
Austin Private Wealth amended their filing on 7/16 and removed their put option on TMGT đź‘€

Another interesting thing about the amendment filed on 7/16 is that it is the only one they have ever had. I searched and their first filing was on 2-12-2020.

JUST IN:

Austin Private Wealth released the following statement about the shorted DJT.

“Statement on Incorrect Filing with the SEC

The SEC filing which showed that Austin Private Wealth shorted a large number of shares of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (DJT) was incorrect and we immediately amended it as soon as we learned of the error.
No client of APW holds, or has ever held, a put on DJT in the quantity initially reported. The correct holding amount was 12 contracts, or 1,200 shares— not 12 million shares, as was filed in error. In submitting the required report for the second quarter of 2024, a multiplier was applied by a third-party vendor that increased the number of the shares by a multiple of 10,000 for all options contracts (not just DJT). We did not catch the error before approving the filing. We filed the report on July 12 to reflect our positions on June 28. We amended it on July 16.”

“We deeply regret this error and the concern it has caused, especially at such a fraught moment for our nation. We are committed to full transparency and maintaining the trust of our clients. As such, we are reviewing our internal procedures and our processes with the third-party vendor that assists with SEC filings to better understand how this happened and avoid similar issues moving forward.”

So just a simple gigantic clerical oversight.

Moving along.

austinprivatewealth.com/news-and-events
I see a community notes has been added. The REPORTING DATE was 6/30 and the 13F was FILED on 7/12 as if it makes a difference. Followed by an amendment on 7/16.

Nowhere in that post did I say that the trade was made on 7/12, I was referring to the 13F filing date and even link to it.

That note should be removed, rate it accordingly.

đź§µAstroturf Uprising: The Billionaire-Funded Machine Behind the LA ICE Protests

The LA “protests” are being coordinated or backed by groups publicly listed as partners of No Kings, a coalition that claims to be about “people power” and “no more oligarchs.” Image
But almost all of their “partners” are funded by oligarchs.

Let’s start with who’s visibly involved in the LA protests:
•ACLU SoCal
•Indivisible
•Color of Change
•Black Voters Matter
•American Federation of Teachers (AFT)
•Communications Workers of America (CWA)
•Sunrise Movement

All No Kings partners.

All with deep-pocketed backers. This is just the tip of the iceberg but a good primer to understand how this world works.

Just look at all their partners, it’s a who’s who of leftist activists groups:

A Key protester in LA. Pushing lawsuits, pressuring LAPD, decrying Guard deployment.

Funded by:
•George Soros’s Open Society Foundations ($50M+)
•Ford Foundation
•MacArthur Foundation

🧵THREAD: The FDA Just Approved Moderna’s New COVID Shot, mNEXSPIKE®

But there’s a catch, they never tested it against a placebo.

They tested it against the other COVID shot. Why? Because “ethics.”

Here’s what they don’t want you to notice. Image
Moderna’s new vaccine, mNEXSPIKE®, was just greenlit by the FDA on May 31, 2025 for Adults 65+ and ages 12–64 with risk factors.

According to the FDA, the approval is based on a Phase 3 trial (NCT05815498) with ~11,400 participants.

But they didn’t test it against saline.

They tested it against Spikevax®, their other COVID shot.

Yes, really.

Bono: Soft Power’s Favorite Frontman Image
The extensive global network of connections maintained by Paul David Hewson, better known as Bono, the lead singer of Irish rock band U2, reveals a complex web of relationships spanning non-governmental organizations, world leaders, billionaire philanthropists, and likely intelligence agencies.

He has positioned himself at the intersection of entertainment, politics, and global power structures, raising questions about the true nature and scope of his influence operations.
The genesis of Bono's political awakening can be traced to 1979, when he attended one of the Secret Policeman's Ball benefit shows organized by Monty Python's John Cleese for Amnesty International.

Bono later stated that this experience "became a part of me" and "sowed a seed," suggesting that his exposure to celebrity activism at this formative moment established a template he would later adopt and expand upon.Image

Un-Informed Consent: The Story of Polyheme

Every once in a while you come across a true story that that leaves you dumbfounded and disturbed, revealing a glimpse of actual evil, not some abstract concept you read about in a book.

This is one of those stories. Image
In the 1980s, Illinois company Northfield Laboratories began developing PolyHeme - an artificial blood substitute that promised to revolutionize battlefield medicine

What followed was one of the most shocking medical ethics violations in modern history, where hundreds of Americans became test subjects without their knowledge or consent.Image
PolyHeme was the Pentagon's dream: a shelf-stable, universal blood substitute that could save soldiers' lives in combat zones where real blood wasn't available. The Department of Defense was so interested they provided funding to support its development, viewing it as a strategic military asset.

The 1992 Report of the Pentagons commitment to investing in artificial blood:

During pre-release testing, Anthropic’s newly launched Claude Opus 4 model repeatedly exhibited unsettling behavior, attempting to blackmail developers who considered switching to a different AI. Allegedly threatening to expose sensitive personal information about the engineers. Image
“The model chose blackmail in 84 percent of test runs, even when told that its replacement would have similar values.”
