🚨🧵 INTEL SOURCES: BRAD GARLINGHOUSE’S LIFE IS IN DANGER.

Ripple’s CEO is carrying the key to dismantling the global banking cartel.

Now, Brad’s name is flashing red inside intelligence circles.

Let’s connect the dots 👇 Image
2/🧵
🔎 Why Brad Is Targeted
•He controls the rollout of XRP Ledger, the neutral bridge that bypasses legacy banking chokeholds.
•Ripple has cleared SEC warfare, making it battle-ready for U.S. institutional adoption.
•His rumored connections to Trump’s economic team tie Ripple directly to America’s “crypto weaponization” plan.

To the old guard, Garlinghouse is now public enemy #1.
3/🧵
🤝 Brad x Trump
•Private donor dinners in 2024 reportedly included Garlinghouse among Trump’s financial backers.
•Ripple’s push for U.S.-anchored stablecoin rails aligns perfectly with Trump’s “America First Liquidity” policy.
•Both share a mission: keep dollar dominance intact, but on-chain.

If true, this explains the coordinated pressure campaigns we’re now seeing.Image
4/🧵
🎯 Who Wants Him Silenced?
•Global banks (JPMorgan, Citi, HSBC) that profit off SWIFT fees.
•European dynasties whose power relies on delayed settlement windows they manipulate.
•Globalist policy groups (WEF, IMF) terrified of Ripple’s rails favoring U.S. liquidity.

The louder Ripple gets, the harder the attacks on Brad become.
5/🧵
⚠️ Evidence of Targeting
•SEC’s years-long delaying tactics — classic financial warfare.
•Strategic media leaks painting Ripple as “shadowy” while ETH was given regulatory free passes.
•Now, whispers in D.C. about “personal security concerns” for Garlinghouse amid his growing political relevance.

The pattern is undeniable: suppression through intimidation.
6/🧵
💡 Why This Matters for XRP
Brad isn’t just Ripple’s CEO.
He is the guardian of the switch.
•Without him, negotiations with U.S. regulators collapse.
•Without him, the global CBDC corridors integrating XRPL face delays.
•With him, the rails flip overnight.

The fear around Brad’s safety shows us just how close we are to the moment.
7/🧵
If Garlinghouse is in danger, it’s because XRP is more powerful than most can imagine.
He holds the key to a financial order that puts blockchain over bankers, liquidity over lobbyists, and America over Europe’s cabals.

The question isn’t “if” the flip switches.
It’s whether Brad will be protected long enough to flip it himself.
They wouldn’t try to silence him unless XRP was the weapon that could end their empire.
Stay awake. The moment is closer than anyone thinks.

For over 200 years, the Rothschild banking dynasty has controlled war funding, commodity pricing, and sovereign debt.
They set gold prices. They financed empires. They owned the rails of global trade.

Now, a neutral bridge asset — XRP — is threatening to rip that control away.

Let’s connect the dots 👇🧵Image
2/🧵
📜 The Rothschild Playbook
•Built the first multinational banking empire in Europe.
•Financed both sides of wars… Napoleonic, Crimean, WWI debts.
•Bought the Suez Canal for Britain in 1875, securing one of the world’s most strategic choke points.

Control the debt, control the trade. Control the trade, control the nations.
3/🧵
💰 Central Bank Strings
For decades, Rothschild banks advised and financed the Bank of England and other central banks, deciding who got bailed out and who got crushed.
If you wanted sovereign debt restructured, you paid their price.. in policy concessions.

XRP breaks this chain: instant cross-border settlement, no central bank chokehold.

🚨 Did Trump Just Pull Off the Biggest Corporate Hostage Negotiation in History?

Apple. NVIDIA. AMD. Intel.
Tariffs not just on countries but now on America’s own giants.

The Genius Move That Could Reshape America’s future 🧵👇 Image
1/ Apple ( $AAPL ) First.

Trump told Apple to stop making iPhones in India for U.S. exports & bring production home or face 25% tariffs.

Weeks later, Apple pledged $600B for U.S. manufacturing — funded by profits from overseas markets.

America First… paid for by the rest of the world.Image
Image
2/ $NVDA and $AMD Next.

NVIDIA and AMD will hand over 15% of revenue(not profit) from sales of their advanced AI chips (like NVIDIA’s H20 and AMD’s MI308) in China.

This revenue-sharing agreement was a condition for securing export licenses and marks a novel shift in the U.S.–China tech trade landscape.Image

🧵🚨 Bo Hines, Executive Director of the White House Crypto Council, has resigned.

White House quietly replace its crypto chief with a Pentagon-linked money man — Patrick Witt.

This is not a random appointment.

Here’s the full story 🧵👇 Image
1/ Bo Hines is out.

Replacing him?

Patrick Witt — his deputy, and the current Acting Director of the Department of Defense’s Office of Strategic Capital.

This isn’t just a staffing change, it’s a blueprint for controlling the entire digital asset space. Image
2/ Witt’s background:

•Deputy Director of the White House’s digital assets team

•Defense finance experience via the DoD

•Skilled in interagency coordination where money meets national security

He is not a “crypto native.” Image

🚨 $XRP → $100: NOT A DREAM. A DEPLOYMENT SCHEDULE.
If you think this is “hopium,” you’re either uninformed or you’re parroting a script.

When they flip ISO 20022 to full power, price won’t “climb.” It will reprice to match settlement demand. [THREAD] 👇🧵 Image
Image
2/🧵
What changed (and why the timeline compressed):
• Legal clarity in the U.S. removed the easy veto.
• ISO 20022 cutovers (Fedwire done; SWIFT’s MT sunset locked) force structured, traceable flows.
• Banking middleware (Temenos, Volante, Finastra) already speak RippleNet → XRPL.
• Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin + private ledgers = enterprise on/off‑ramps.
This is a coordinated migration, not a social media cycle.
3/🧵
Supply is a mirage; effective float is the truth.
Escrows, institutional cold storage, compliance reserves, lost coins, exchange inventory, and corporate treasuries don’t chase candles. The settlement float that actually clears payments is a fraction of headline supply. Price is set at the margin by the float that must move.

🚨 Ripple just acquired Rail Financial.
This isn’t just a business move.
This is a declaration of war against SWIFT, JPMorgan, and the global settlement cartel.
The timeline is accelerating. The infrastructure is being assembled.

Let’s break it down 👇 Image
2/🧵
💼 What is Rail Financial?
A backend payment infrastructure company servicing over 60 Tier 1 and Tier 2 institutions in 14 countries.
They specialize in stablecoin flows, B2B settlement, and private compliance rails.

Translation?
Ripple just bought a ready-made bank rail network.
3/🧵
🔗 Why it matters:
With Rail’s integration, Ripple can now offer:
•Real-time stablecoin FX settlement
•Plug-and-play APIs for banks
•Integrated on/off-ramps for CBDCs
•Compliance overlays for FATF + ISO 20022

In short: Ripple just leapfrogged everyone.

🚨 42 BANKS JUST TRIED TO STOP THE FUTURE.
Ripple’s banking license is under attack.
The BPI representing JPMorgan, Citi, BoA, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and 37 other financial titans just filed objections to Ripple’s application.

Let’s decode the panic behind the power move 👇🧵Image
2/🧵
🔒 Why are banks blocking Ripple?
Because Ripple doesn’t just threaten to join the system.
It’s building a new one.
One that runs on-chain, settles instantly, and doesn’t need them anymore.

This is not a turf war.
It’s a last stand.
3/🧵
🏛️ Who is the BPI?
The Bank Policy Institute is a lobbying arm of Wall Street’s deepest arteries.
Its job is to defend the old rails where trillions move slowly, opaquely, and with fat fees.
Ripple threatens to nuke that model overnight.
