The global economy is about to be fucked up in ways that will have economists and historians studying the aftermath for generations to come. People have no idea. Those with savings and equities are most at risk.
The combination of failure to pass an Omnibus, likely US debt default, and shunting US Treasury assets into a “strategic bitcoin reserve,” and totally unregulated Ponzi crypto asset bubbles is a recipe for destruction of US and EU. The dollar will become worthless.
This sets up a zero sum game, to steal assets from those who have them now, and give them to people who hold play crypto assets. This paper explains how. Warning: requires reading, not just vibes, to understand. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
The only thing that can possibly stop this is a critical mass of Republicans breaking with the Freedom Caucus cult and threatening their peers with stark consequences. But that’s unlikely, and they don’t have much leverage.
So anyway unless some miracle occurs, this is the end. It was a good run, and we tried.
Some of you emailed asking about how to manage these risks. Here is a summary, which I will keep updated.
Interesting: Tulsi Gabbard's aunt, Caroline Sinavaiana-Gabbard (her father Mike's sister) was brutally murdered in 2024. She had previously referred to Tulsi as a "mouthpiece." hawaii.edu/news/2024/06/0…
"Caroline Sinavaiana-Gabbard, told Civil Beat in 2019 that Butler’s influence on her brother and his daughter’s politics was obvious. Tulsi Gabbard in particular, she said, was a “pawn” and a “mouthpiece” for her guru... and died in 2024 after a violent assault. The woman who attacked her died in prison while awaiting a verdict in her murder trial." civilbeat.org/2026/06/leaked…
What no one is asking now is WHY Gabbard was being run by a cult? For decades, Russia has worked to inject itself into spiritual cults (Maharishi, ISKCON, SIF) to 1) get people staring at their navels instead of taking political or practical action, 2) bring about “world peace” by capturing and dismantling US capabilities.
The “antiwar” movement is a left-right capture play and has been on display at recent events such as “Rage Against the War Machine” and “Rally to Rescue the Republic” which are run by the Libertarian Party, the Schiller Institute, the Ron Paul network, and the RFK Jr network — as well as the full menagerie of RU/CN proxies. Gabbard is fully part of that network and has spoken at those events.
This network goes back decades in various forms and has been at the heart of the anti-war and anti-nuclear “movements” which have been fluffed by Russia, and more recently by China.
Gabbard isn’t some one-off whack-job proxy of a rogue cult leader: this is an assault by our adversaries in a long game of information warfare and state capture, and those adversaries now have every state secret she cared to locate and share. We are less secure now. Congrats.
I’m not telling you anything here that wasn’t known during her confirmation hearings. Which means the Senate was derelict of duty, and complicit.
Some will also remember when Tulsi was briefly chair of the DNC, a Sanders Institute fellow, and a darling of the left cheering on Julian Assange. She was always a snake and her goal was to infiltrate and destroy the Democratic Party.
Next time maybe more people will pay attention to those doing closer reads of the signals instead of flitting from scandal to scandal.
1/Based on information from our sources, we have now compiled a list of 410 known Dialog participants spanning the last ~15 years. This is by far the most complete list. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
2/It also underscores another point: Dialog is large, and not particularly secret. Invitations (such as the one seen in the Epstein files) include long lists of participants and are sent without expectation of secrecy. Indeed, this is how we have been able to build this list.
3/The thing that has been keeping Dialog's participant list hidden is inertia and overall lack of interest — until now. Had anybody cared to research this, it would not have been difficult to do so. While the new leak cited by WIRED has added some new knowledge of their processes, Dialog's participant list has never been a closely guarded secret — indeed, they sent it to every new prospect. But it wasn't widely shared or posted publicly, either.
One of the main things people are getting wrong about the “Dialog” group (and there are several misconceptions) is that it was Thiel’s only or most important convening. “Hereticon” is where things get much stranger; it’s a tiered network.
You’ll recognize names from the Dialog network, as well as a healthy dose of UFO promoters and Founders Fund portfolio companies. Dialog (scouting), retreats (recruitment), Hereticon (sanctum sanctorum) — students of cult dynamics will recognize that this is How to Build a Cult.
1/I know it seems hard to believe, but ~70% of the American public is fed up with all of this and just wants to have a job, raise their kids, and be able to retire.
All of the trouble is coming from the wingnuts on both sides.
2/Facts: 1. Only 50% of people vote in midterms. 2. Only 66% of people vote in presidential years. 2. >45% of voters identify as independent (and rising).
So with only about 58% of people voting, and about half of them being Independent, that's around 30% who identify as Democratic or Republican.
3/Of that 30% who are party-affiliated and who vote, we are roughly evenly divided (on average) — so around 15% per party. Not all of those are happy with their party.
So while it's popular to say that "one half the country hates the other half," the math simply doesn't hold up.
The reality is that 70% of the country is exhausted by the drama being caused by the other 30%.
These are the DSA geniuses that built Platner in a lab but failed to observe his Nazi tendencies and misogynistic worldview. Professional malpractice, and these two should not be allowed within a hundred mile radius of a Democratic race ever again.
At this point the most likely outcome is that Platner wins by a few points, then Dems have to carry him to term to November, where he will be pronounced dead; cause of death: Susan Collins and a modest ad budget. RIP. 🪦
Meanwhile they’re trying to take down Talarico and keep finding he’s had normal, respectful relationships with cute women. If you want to do him a solid, vote for Janet Mills and not Platner, because GOP snakes will try to smear Talarico with Platner’s sins.
