Around 1922, Edward Gardner Lewis acquired options to buy 16,000 acres of land on the Palos Verdes peninsula from banker Frank A. Vanderlip.. Image
"He was the founder of two planned communities that are now cities: University City, Missouri, and Atascadero, California"

* St. Louis World’s Fair Image
Image
The 85-acre area would be the HQ for Lewis’s publishing company, as well the site for a model city, inspired by the City Beautiful movement.

In 1903, Lewis broke ground for his publishing company’s headquarters: the Magazine Building (now City Hall)

Russia lost more tanks in Pokrovsk than Nazis at Stalingrad, — Xavier Tytelman

🧵1/11
⚰️Graveyard Stats: 16 months, 170k RU troops committed, 25k casualties in October alone, 1,800 armored vehicles lost

Zelensky: “No Russian success in Pokrovsk — that’s the whole story.”
Strategic dead-end fractures Kremlin grip.

2/11
Xavier Tytelman: West has unbeatable tech (stealth missiles, precision strikes) but low volume. Russia? Mass-produces cheap junk (50-100x more) & shrugs off insane losses—because they accept 100K+ dead like it's Tuesday. Pokrovsk proves it: No quick win, just a meat grinder

The pace at which these BMPs are being pulled out of this base is so unexpected. Most rows are already half empty, and it's only been 2 months since they started. I was never expecting this from the 111th, it's so noticable yoh don't even need high res imagery to see it.
T-54/55s as well, but that's not so surprising.
Just to make it more clear, these were the rows of BMPs in the main area of the 111th base that didn't look (for the most part) like were missing structural components such as turrets or engines back in 2022: Image

2016 (High priority) e-mail German cognitive scientist & AI researcher Joscha Bach sent to Jeffrey Epstein

“By genetic switch or other method you might be able to make blacks smarter by changing time for motor layer development […] telemeres for the cell are their equivalents ” Image
“most women in computer science do not write programs because they enjoy solving puzzles but because they want to help people, get approval. There are almost no woken in math because it does not help people or yield social attention”
—Joscha Bach to Jeffrey Epstein Image
Joscha Bach to Epstein:
“Maybe climate change is a good way of dealing with overpopulation….the Earth’s forest fire potentially a good thing for the species”

“Making have children too expensive […] (like in the west) is the humane way” Image

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.

It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill. Image
First, let's back up.

Noem has starred in a sprawling ad campaign she’s said is a crucial tool to stem illegal immigration—so crucial that DHS bypassed the normal competitive bidding process, designed to prevent waste & corruption in federal contracts propublica.org/article/kristi…
Where that $220M ended up has been unknown. The main recipient listed on public docs was a Delaware LLC created days before the deal was signed.

We found there's been a secret beneficiary: a GOP consulting firm with a much longer — & more interesting — track record.

Boomers have a mental block where they think luxury items are some lavish expense because, when they were young, those things actually were expensive. In reality, "luxuries" have gotten incredibly cheap and now basic necessities are extremely expensive. Image
$6,000 PC today would be like, RTX 5090 OC, 14900K CPU, bleeding-edge fast. In reality a modest home PC is ~$300-500. Boomers see that you own a computer at all and they think of how it would cost $3,000 when they were 35
Very true, gov't barely interferes in the production of TVs & toys & computers, and the market has made those things cheaper & cheaper. But healthcare, education, housing are basically on gov't life support, and they simply get worse & worse

An update on the war following a recent trip. Ukrainian forces are holding, but the situation has worsened since July due to mounting offensive pressure. Here I cover some of the negative and positive trends, along with the salient dynamics at the front. Long thread. 1/ Image
Drones continue to be responsible for most daily casualties, with the front line defined by overlapping drone and artillery fire engagement zones 20-25km from the forward line of troops. This is commonly referred to as the ‘kill zone.’ 2/
One of the key dynamics this year has been a tug of war contest between Russian forces and the AFU over superiority in this kill zone, and its relative footprint. That in turn determines initiative on the ground, and the cost incurred in offensive, or defensive ops. 3/

Cultura de equipos como marketing: La mayor mentira del Management moderno en Personotecnia
La idea de que la cultura se define con un PowerPoint, un manual de valores o un slogan es la mayor mentira:
La cultura no es lo que dices ni lo que escribes:La cultura es lo que EMERGE🧵
La cultura es topología emergente, no marketing interno.
Una forma invisible creada por:
incentivos reales,consecuencias reales,coherencias o incoherencias,decisiones del sistema,microseñales diarias..

Es la geometría del terreno donde las personas actúan.
Topología significa una cosa: posibilidades
Tu empresa tiene una forma, un PAISAJE y define qué caminos se pueden recorrer,cuáles están bloqueados,dónde hay riesgo,dónde hay oportunidad,qué comportamientos florecen,cuáles se extinguen

There’s a reason the latest New York Times hit on RFK Jr. felt strange.

Not just dishonest.
Not just desperate.
But structurally different — more like a psychological operation than a piece of reporting.

People instinctively feel something is “off,” but they can’t always articulate what they’re reacting to.

This essay is that articulation.

For the first time, we are going to map the architecture of narrative warfare — the behind-the-curtain system legacy media uses to shape public perception, control emotional frames, and enforce ideological obedience.

This is not theory.

It’s a playbook.

And it explains exactly why the RFK piece looks the way it does.Image
I. The First Layer: Control the Frame
(Before Any Fact Appears)

Narrative warfare begins before facts, data, or quotes.
It begins with framing, the invisible lens through which the audience is forced to interpret the story.

The media never tells you the frame.
They simply make you inhabit it.

The formula:

1. Define the subject emotionally, not factually.
(RFK Jr. becomes “the politician” — a character, not a person.)

2. Position the narrator as sympathetic or authoritative.
(In the RFK hit piece, the narrator is presented as a wounded storyteller.)

3. Decide the moral conclusion before gathering evidence.
(The subject must be discredited, delegitimized, or dehumanized.)

4. Build the story around the conclusion.

This is why everything feels “off.”

The emotional meaning is constructed first.
The reporting is reverse-engineered afterward.

This is framing as psychological engineering.
II. The Second Layer: Replace Evidence
With Emotional Vividness

Narrative warfare doesn’t rely on facts.
It relies on imagery.

Why?

Because the mind stores images more easily than information.

This is why propaganda is always visual, sensory, melodramatic.

Look at the RFK piece:
- Roses
- Poetry
- Tears
- Nicknames
- DMT
- Emotional confession
- Whispered vulnerability
- A “politician” transformed into a romance archetype

This isn’t evidence.
It’s emotional staging.

The technical term in psyops:
Affective anchoring.

If you can make someone feel something, you don’t need documentation.

This is the same mechanism used to:
- Sell wars
- Shape elections
- Control culture
- Smear dissenters
- Elevate insiders
- Manipulate scientific narratives

This is the operating system of psychological media influence.

Bueno, pues en el hilo turras de hoy, levantamos el segundo sello del arco del Post Private Equity: El ciclo de las macrotendencias financieras y los días del futuro pasado. Vamos al tema. Image
Si queremos, como pretendemos, plantear que los tiempos financieros modernos demandan un nuevo paradigma, es importante que nos percatemos cuales han sido los paradigmas vigentes anteriores y en que contexto se produjeron.
Desde la década de 1970, el panorama financiero global ha experimentado transformaciones profundas impulsadas por innovaciones en instrumentos de deuda, adquisiciones apalancadas, el auge del capital privado y la revolución quant.

🧵Most people don't realise there are whole categories of disease transmission they don't have to think about because they've been taken care of by society, e.g. there are laws & inspections & engineering that protect you from diseases that are waterborne (e.g. sewage treatment), Image
bloodborne (e.g. blood product screening), foodborne (e.g. food hygiene legislation).
The only thing public health generally tells people to do is wash their hands. So that must be all people need to do, right?
Nope. This does not protect you from airborne diseases, like covid,
flu, measles.
Many people think airborne disease transmission must be being taken care of ... somehow? Or maybe it's just not an issue? Because public health isn't talking about it.
Nope. It's an issue – just one that public health isn't dealing with.
