Paul Klein's CIA business partner in the former communist bloc, Mark Palmer, did us the great service of outlining the important political function of imperialist TV enterprises (like the ones he worked on with Paul) for "democratizing" foreign states. Let's take a look inside!

But first! A refresher on the Klein family's links to Palmer. The Kleins helped Palmer's Central European Media Enterprises install a broadcasting empire in the former Eastern Bloc on behalf of billionaires like Ron Lauder. Also partnered with Palmer's CIA foundation, CECHE

Alrighty, back to business. Palmer tells us about the lodestar guiding his entire career: anti-communism.

"Stalin, Hitler, Mao and others committed the worst crimes against humanity in the short history of our species." Is that in ascending or descending order?

thread about a hypothetical so over

(1) bitcoin fails to break the high again and rolls over into another multi-month slump where we retest the 50k low and potentially break it, bringing us back into a classic crypto bear forcing us to sit around for years waiting for good times

(2) all the multi month consolidations (sol, eth, bnb, ...) that were perceived as mid-cycle bullish continuation patterns turn out to be distribution tops and initiate a markdown of 30-50% bringing sol <$100 and eth retesting its 2022 bear cycle low

(3) insiders and whales start dumping memecoins while holders and believers get a lesson about liquidity as a couple million dollars in sells cause the entire market cap to collapse, eventually leaving 99% with nothing

If you haven’t read this book yet, I recommend it. Here are 18 important summarized quotes:

1. Your mind is a goal-seeking system; give it a clear target and it will work toward it automatically.

2. Self-image is the foundation of your success or failure in life.

3. You cannot outperform the picture you hold of yourself inside.

4. Relaxed and confident thoughts produce better results than tense effort.

5. Imagine success clearly, and your subconscious will search for ways to achieve it.

6. Mistakes are feedback, not proof of failure.

This is the story of how I nearly lost everything to activist Swedish Social Services.

In 2017, my family and I were living in Sweden.

I had lived there before as a single man. We thought it was the safe, stable, open society everyone in the West keeps praising.

What happened instead nearly destroyed us.

I am a former Marine with a couple combat deployments to Afghanistan (this detail matters) and was part of Marine Corps Forces European Command in Germany. I worked for Amazon Web Services with a Nordic focus, staged in Stockholm

I managed teams across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland.

We lived in the countryside, paid taxes, followed every rule. We even insisted on speaking the local language.

We tried to be the ideal expat family.

Then the Swedish social services system turned its eyes on my family.

Not because of abuse. Not because of neglect.
One of my kids insisted on being "decidedly American". He climbed trees, he was enthusiastic, he was proud of my military service, he would not stand in line if he couldn't determine a reason. He was the James Dean 'Rebel Without a Cause' archetype, despite our pleadings.

And in Sweden, that non-compliance simply would not do.

What we didn't know was that the Swedish Social Services system is engineered to view foreign families as disruptions to the social order if they are not "Swedish Enough" (their words).

Once you fall into their process, innocence and evidence do not matter.

All that matters is their internal bureaucratic logic.

If they decide you are a target, you are a target.

Swedish friends warned me that Social Services was the last holdout of hard-line Marxists who believed the doctrine of the "New Swedish Man" (Nya Svenska Man), where they could recreate people based on their social and political doctrines.

And because we were Americans during the first Trump Admin, pursuing us was considered "punching up".

We began to notice things. Strangers watching our house. Our kids would come home from school and tell us they were taken out of class in a room with strangers and talked for hours. But they couldn't remember about what. They were 1, 9, 11, and 13. But it was basically about if they were happy at home.

We started getting unexplained letters and visits from state employees. Teachers calling us, telling us that our kids wouldn't listen, would climb trees, put olives on their fingers at lunch, or go to the bathroom without asking. We were told it was "unusual".

We received a letter telling us to meet with state officials, so we did. The kids were taken and put in a room and interrogated (after being plied with juice and cookies).

Most people think healing childhood trauma requires years of therapies, pills or courses.

Nope. Your body needs a system reset.

Your vagus nerve is key to undoing decades of damage, yet 99% of people ignore it.

This took me 40 years to learn, I'll explain in 2 minutes: 🧵

Trauma is not stored in your memories.

It's trapped in your nervous system—keeping you stuck in "survival mode" 24/7.

Your brain literally can't access healing while it thinks you're under attack.

Here's why:

Trauma hijacks your sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight), flooding your body with cortisol and adrenaline.

Over time, this becomes your default state—even when you're "safe."

Result? Anxiety, insomnia, toxic relationships, and self-destructive patterns.

Por que precisamos de outros telescópios além do telescópio espacial James Webb?

Vamos de thread pra entender isso. 👇

Existem várias respostas pra essa pergunta, mas nessa thread vou focar num aspecto em específico: cobertura espectral.

O James Webb é um telescópio espacial que observa principalmente no infravermelho e parte do óptico. 

Mas, Stephane, o que isso significa?

Significa que vamos ter informação de objetos no céu que emitem nessa faixa de comprimento de onda. E somente a emissão nessa faixa.

Oh they know.

The reason any utter of the word “COVID” is met with awkward silence, abrupt subject changes, or mockery is no coincidence.

That’s what denial looks like when the stakes are too high for people to admit what they already sense.

You’re letting them off too easily.

Universal internet access & AI at everyone’s fingertips in year 6/7 of COVID. Yet we’re still pretending the public is merely “uninformed”?

This isn’t a knowledge gap, it’s deliberate avoidance, a psychological defence to shield people from the consequences of their own choices.

And here’s the part people pretend not to understand: we don’t rely on governments or legacy media for any other major issue

Nobody waits for official guidance to form opinions on Gaza, Epstein, climate collapse, corruption/surveillance. People “do their own research” constantly

Between 2020 and 2025, ₹5.3 lakh crore was raised via IPOs in India.

But 3.4 lakh crore DID NOT go to companies —
But to selling shareholders.

And many of those companies underperformed post-listing.

● Paytm IPO (₹18,300 crore): OFS ₹10,000+ crore
● CarTrade IPO (₹2,999 crore): 100% OFS

Guess who exited in time?

When a company raises ₹1,000 crore in an IPO…
Most people assume the company gets ₹1,000 crore.

But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
They might not get even half of it.

Let’s unpack how IPO money actually works and where a lot of it disappears.

Bookmark and retweet this thread to revisit it later

IPO = Initial Public Offering

It’s when a company raises money from public investors by selling its shares on the stock market.
Simple?

Not quite.
Because here’s what they don’t tell you:

There are 2 types of IPOs.

And only one of them actually gives money to the company.
Fresh Issue
Offer For Sale (OFS)

The difference between them?
Everything.

Let’s say Groww Ltd. launches a ₹1,000 crore IPO.

Scenario 1:
₹1,000 crore Fresh Issue = the company actually gets ₹1,000 crore.

Scenario 2:
₹700 crore OFS + ₹300 crore Fresh Issue = company gets only ₹300 crore.

Where did the ₹700 crore go?
To the promoters, PE investors, and VCs, not to the company.

That’s Offer For Sale. Old shareholders cashing out.

You’re not funding the company.
You’re buying their shares so they can exit.

Here’s how the breakup often looks in real Indian IPOs:

Zomato (2021 IPO):

₹9,375 crore raised Fresh Issue ₹9,000 crore OFS: ₹375 crore → Company got 96% of the funds

LIC (2022 IPO): ₹20,557 crore raised Fresh Issue: ₹0 OFS: ₹20,557 crore → LIC got nothing.
Govt took it all.

Nykaa (2021 IPO): ₹5,352 crore raised Fresh Issue: ₹630 crore OFS: ₹4,722 crore → Company got just 12% of the money

Se você tem 20 e poucos anos, esse é o momento perfeito pra aprender lições que podem mudar tudo.

Neste fio, separei 20 frases poderosas que vão te fazer pensar diferente, agir melhor e evoluir como nunca.

🧵👇

1. Na medida que você sobe de nível, seus amigos mudam. Aceite isso. A vida é assim!

2. Se você anda perto de alguém e sente que sua energia foi expelida do seu corpo, pegue isso como um sinal para não ficar mais perto dessa pessoa.

3. Seu cérebro é um software. Você o atualiza lendo livros, superando desafios, meditando e aprendendo habilidades.

I’m told that to criticize a proposed deal that initially hewed closely to Russia’s preferred outcome is to misunderstand or misstate “some critical reality on the ground.” So let’s talk about reality on the ground (1/4):

This fall, Ukrainians were polled on their views of war termination. Overwhelming majority (75%) would reject plans that constrain UKR’s military and forfeit territory they controlled. And 76% say they would fight on in the absence of U.S. support. In other words, a peace deal that doesn’t secure Ukraine won’t actually stop the killing. (2/4) kiis.com.ua/?lang=eng&cat=…

The price of peace matters to Americans, too! Demand for Ukraine to give up territory is a fringe position among Trump voters (16%). More popular? Sanctions on Russia and support for Ukraine. (3/4)

The World Will Celebrate Prematurely

This is the theme that the Lord placed on my heart as He woke me up early this morning. It was the theme of how this world of darkness would begin to celebrate because they will think that they have won. They will think that they can fully implement their evil plans to control

and eliminate what God had started (His kingdom and His church). But Jesus says that the world’s celebration will be premature because He has already overcome them.

When I got up to read this, Jesus describes it in detail in John chapter 16. He had just finished telling His

The Candace Owens vs. Macron Lawsuit — A Complete Collapse in Real Time, a thread:🧵

If you are wondering why Candace seems to have completely lost her mind, it is because she probably has due to this lawsuit that is meticulous and devastating for her.

If you want to read the full article, check it out here on my Substack:

open.substack.com/pub/gbnt1952/p…

The lawsuit the Macrons just dropped on Candace Owens is not a “case.”

It’s a public execution with footnotes.

If you think this is about politics, you haven’t read the filings.

This is a clinic on what happens when someone mistakes YouTube engagement for reality.

🕉️ गरुड़ पुराण के अनुसार दान धर्म कैसा होना चाहिए 🧵

🔻जिस देवता का फल चाहिए, उसका पूजन करो
🔻कौन सा दान किस फल को देता है?
🔻कौन-सा दान कौन-सा पुण्य देता है?
🔻इन विशेष समयों में दान का महा-फल

🔻सबसे अच्छा दान वही है जो श्रद्धा से, सही पात्र को, सही जगह पर दिया जाए। जो चीज दूसरों के उपयोग में आए, उसे उचित जगह देना ही दान है।
ऐसा दान इस जीवन में सुख और अगले जीवन में मोक्ष का फल देता है।

गरुड़ पुराण में कहा गया है कि संसार में दान से बढ़कर कोई धर्म नहीं है। दान वही श्रेष्ठ माना गया है जो श्रद्धा, सही पात्र और सही समय पर दिया जाए। न्यायपूर्ण तरीके से कमाया हुआ धन जब सुयोग्य ब्राह्मण, गौ, ऋषि, देव या जरूरतमंद को दिया जाता है, तो वह इस जन्म और अगले जन्म – दोनों में महान फल देता है।

दान के अनेक प्रकार बताए गए हैं और हर दान का अपना विशिष्ट फल है। भूमिदान को सबसे बड़ा दान माना गया है—जो व्यक्ति उपजाऊ भूमि ब्राह्मण को देता है, वह पुनर्जन्म से मुक्त हो जाता है। वेदादान, वेद का अध्ययन-अध्यापन और विद्वानों को ज्ञान देना ब्रह्मलोक की प्राप्ति तक ले जाता है। गाय को घास देना पापों को नष्ट करता है, और रोगियों को भोजन, औषधि, तेल आदि देने वाला दीर्घायु तथा स्वस्थ रहता है। अग्नि के लिए लकड़ी दान करने वाला तेजस्वी बनता है। छत्र और जूते का दान परलोक के भयानक मार्गों से रक्षा करता है।

दान करने का सही समय भी अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण माना गया है। उत्तरायण, दक्षिणायन, सूर्य-चन्द्र ग्रहण, संक्रांतियाँ, महाविषुव, तथा तीर्थों—विशेषकर प्रयाग और गया में किया गया दान अक्षय फल देता है। इन समयों में दिया गया दान प्रायश्चित्त का कार्य करता है और पापों को तुरंत नष्ट कर देता है।

दान करने का सही समय भी अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण माना गया है। उत्तरायण, दक्षिणायन, सूर्य-चन्द्र ग्रहण, संक्रांतियाँ, महाविषुव, तथा तीर्थों विशेषकर प्रयाग और गया में किया गया दान अक्षय फल देता है। इन समयों में दिया गया दान प्रायश्चित्त का कार्य करता है और पापों को तुरंत नष्ट कर देता है।

गरुड़ पुराण यह भी कहता है कि व्यक्ति को चाहिए कि वह अपनी प्रिय वस्तु जो उसे सबसे अधिक प्रिय और मूल्यवान लगे उसे गुणवान ब्राह्मण को दान करे। यह दान परलोक में अविनाशी सुख देता है। दुर्भिक्ष के समय, मृत्यु के कगार पर पड़े ब्राह्मण या किसी भी जरूरतमंद को अन्न न देना ब्रह्महत्या के समान बड़ा पाप कहा गया है। और जो लोग दूसरों को गौ, ब्राह्मण, देव या अग्नि को दान देने से रोकते हैं, वे अधम योनि में जन्म लेते हैं।
