Lembra da Estratégia Cloward-Piven (1966)? Piven & Cloward propuseram recrutar em massa os elegíveis a welfare nos EUA pra sobrecarregar o sistema, gerar crise e forçar renda mínima garantida federal.

Pressão de massa via "peso dos pobres".

E no Brasil atual? Segue o fio 🧵 Image
Aqui não tem recrutamento explícito, mas o efeito é o mesmo: expansão massiva do Bolsa Família.
Cria dependência.

94 milhões de brasileiros (44% da pop.) dependem de benefícios federais.

Metade do eleitorado vive com medo de perder o sustento se o "patrono" do auxílio mudar. Image
A esquerda nega qualquer ligação com Cloward-Piven: "teoria da conspiração!"

Jogam tudo na conta de Amartya Sen: "capacidades, liberdades reais, combate à privação multidimensional".

Sen é Nobel e o Bolsa Família de fato reduziu miséria e ampliou acesso a saúde/educação. Mas... Image

Gedanken zur Tageslosung für Donnerstag, den 12.02.2026

Losungswort
Ich tilge deine Missetat wie eine Wolke und deine Sünden wie den Nebel. Kehre dich zu mir, denn ich erlöse dich!
Jesaja 44,22

Lehrtext
Ihr wisst, dass Jesus Christus erschienen ist, damit er
die Sünden wegnehme, und in ihm ist keine Sünde.

Die Losungen der Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine

Die Sonne der Gerechtigkeit

In den heutigen Bibelversen geht es um die Befreiung und Erlösung von Sünden. Im Losungswort verspricht
Gott den Israeliten, ihnen ihre Verfehlungen zu vergeben, sodass sie verschwinden wie Nebel, wenn die Sonne durchbricht. An diesem Bild möchte ich einmal dranbleiben.

Manche Menschen empfinden es als schwierig, wenn man von Sünde spricht. Sie vermuten dahinter einen

A FRAUDE NA ELEIÇÃO PRESIDENCIAL DE 2022
Na eleição presidencial de 2022 já havia muitas desconfianças quanto a Lula não ter realmente obtido 57 milhões de votos no 1º turno e nem 60 milhões de votos no 2º turno. Enquanto Bolsonaro conseguia multidões de apoiadores na campanha eleitoral, Lula não conseguia o mesmo.
Nos anos seguintes, continuou visível essa falta de apoio a Lula por parte da população, e até na Globo já mostraram desconfianças de que houve fraude, de que Lula não tenha realmente ganhado a eleição em 2022.

One thing I've noticed is that most RW media outlets don't actually care about RW media that they themselves are not directly connected with or producing. There's little to no coverage, journalistic or otherwise, of the broader field.
Our local rag covered our reprinting of the Cosmic Courtship and the other works of Julian Hawthorne, but I don't think any other major outlet reached out or responded to our solicits.
arkansasonline.com/news/2021/may/…
We made news when we found and republished a previously believed lost Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan fragment, completed by one of our regular contributors.

We're at a point where RW culture media outlets should be keeping tabs on what we're up to, even just an eye, but they don't.

The headline from The Hindu is a sad TN specific clickbait. Inside the news we find that the inscriptions are in Tamil, Prakrit and Sanskrit.

From Berenike to Gulf countries, Indian inscriptions have been found. True, Tamil language in Brahmi script are there but equally and more detailed Prakrits and Sanskrit are there too.

I would like a nicer and honest headline “Brahmi inscriptions found in Valley of Kings in Egypt”.
Other news items indicate there is at least one Kharoshthi inscription, the language Gandharan. From Egypt to Indonesia, Brahmi inscriptions/fragments have been found covering not just Tamil but other Indic languages - a variety of Prakrits and some Sanskrit as well.

Not some special Tamil merchants but Indian subcontinental merchants went to all these places. Insisting on only Tamil while suppressing other hard evidence found is intellectual dishonesty.
Some more quick observations. One of the Tamil name found is சிகை கொற்றன். Check the root word for Cikai.

The scholars have found the following phrases ‘வர கண்ட’ and ‘வரத கண்டன்’. They interpret this as mimicking ‘Veni Vidi’ of Greek. But the phrases fail Tamil Grammar. Were these proto-Malayalam dialect version of Tamil?

REPORT: The NIH is now funding research into ivermectin as a cancer treatment.

Yes, the same drug they mocked as “horse paste” is now being seriously studied—for its ability to kill cancer cells.

On February 10, the NIH confirmed it’s funding preclinical trials on ivermectin’s anti-cancer properties. Dr. Anthony Letai, head of the National Cancer Institute, said there’s “enough interest” and “enough reports” to take it seriously. Studies are already underway, with results expected in just a few months.

This follows 2024 and 2025 reviews by U.S. scientists showing signs that ivermectin can inhibit tumors. The NIH is now backing that research, pointing to ivermectin’s Nobel Prize-winning legacy and its decades of safe, FDA-approved use in humans.

But instead of welcoming a promising, low-cost treatment, the media doubled down. Outlets like MedPage Today rushed to dismiss the story as “right-wing hype,” ignoring the science and smearing anyone who dared to ask questions.

Why attack a drug that could save lives—unless the real threat is to their bottom line?

If ivermectin works, it won’t just save lives. It’ll shatter the system built to suppress it.

#ad: The digital ID financial nightmare isn’t coming someday. It’s already here.

GoldandFreedom.com 👈

Once a single identity becomes the gateway to your money, your work, and your ability to participate in everyday life, compliance is no longer a choice.

That’s why Genesis Gold Group created the free Digital ID Resistance Wealth Guide.

It breaks down the real risks of digital ID and explains how physical gold and silver allow you to operate outside the system.

Digital dollars leave you exposed. Gold and silver can’t be frozen, tracked, or turned off.

Get your free Digital ID Resistance Wealth Guide right now at GoldandFreedom.com, before digital ID becomes the default and your options disappear.

In other news, Republicans and Democrats are backing a bill that opens the door to mandatory Digital ID for every American.

It’s called the “Kids Off Social Media Act.” But it doesn’t just target kids. It targets you.

The bill bans anyone under 13 from having a social media account. Sounds reasonable—until you realize enforcement means scanning your face, checking your ID, or tracking your device… just to prove you’re old enough to speak online.

The bill doesn’t have to say “Digital ID.” The logic demands it. And once those systems are in place, they won’t stop at children. They’ll be used to control what you can say, see, and share.

Multiple states have already declared these laws unconstitutional. So why are Republicans still pushing them?

This is exactly how it started in the UK. Today, people are getting arrested for memes.

Watch @zeeemedia's report before they normalize this—and your freedom to speak anonymously disappears forever.

🚨 COLAPSO: CELULAR DE VORCARO REVELA PAGAMENTOS A TOFFOLI E REDE COM POLÍTICOS 🚨

Novos detalhes da perícia da PF no celular do dono do Banco Master mostram que o esquema era muito maior.

Segundo a CNN, era um sistema de pagamentos discretos e conexões políticas profundas.
A República treme! 🔥👇🏼Image
1️⃣ Pagamentos Diretos e Discretos

A CNN Brasil (Caio Junqueira) trouxe detalhes pesados: segundo sua fonte que teve contato com a investigação, as mensagens mostram Daniel Vorcaro falando diretamente de pagamentos ao ministro Dias Toffoli.

O interlocutor era Fabiano Zettel, seu cunhado.

Segundo a fonte, também existe conversas diretas com o ministro de "modos bem discretos" e termos cifrados para camuflar o assunto.
2️⃣ Além do Judiciário: O "Dono do Partido"

A perícia não parou no STF.

O celular revela que Vorcaro mantinha conexões estreitas com o presidente de um grande partido político.

O banqueiro operava uma rede de influência que atravessa os três poderes desde, pelo menos, 2022.

1/🚨"None of us knew the depth and the darkness." — Keir Starmer, on Jeffrey Epstein's British connections.

Seema Misra was jailed while pregnant. Sub-postmasters lost their homes and livelihoods. Jimmy Savile abused children for decades.

Every time, Starmer was running the institution responsible. Every time: "I didn't know."

Now it's Epstein. And the documents tell a very different story.🧵👇Image
2/11
🚨 HERE'S WHAT JUST BROKE:

Documents released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act show Britain's National Crime Agency was running a classified intelligence operation on Epstein's British connections — from inside the British Embassy in Washington, D.C.

Not a tip. Not a rumour. Not informal cooperation.

A formal, classified, embassy-to-FBI intelligence operation. Beginning January 2020.Image

The NCA built a financial intelligence pipeline — UK Financial Intelligence Unit to America's FinCEN — catching Epstein-linked transactions that US institutions may have missed.

British banks were flagging suspicious activity on people in Epstein's immediate circle.

Internal NCA emails show officers coordinating with the NSPCC over whether a parallel British investigation would affect FBI operations.

The NCA knew this involved children.

There’s a reason why Vishnu Sahasranamam has been chanted for thousands of years.
Not for ritual.
Not for tradition.
But for inner restoration.

When life feels scattered… this chant brings alignment. 🧵 Image
1.“Vishnu” means the one who pervades everything.
“Sahasranamam” means 1000 names.

Each name is not just praise…
Each name represents a cosmic quality — strength, protection, balance, compassion.
2.Ancient wisdom says destiny is not always punishment.
Sometimes destiny is simply lessons without clarity.

Vishnu Sahasranamam is believed to restore clarity when life feels unfair or confusing.

2026年1月、中国のPPI(生産者物価指数)が発表され40ヶ月連続のマイナス(前年同月比)となり、日本のデフレ期に匹敵する長さになりつつあります

またCPI(消費者物価指数)上昇率が0.8%→0.2%へ急減速し、春節要因さえも打ち消すほど地合いの需要が弱いことを示しています

※長文になります Image
まとめ

2026年1月、中国PPI(生産者物価指数)は前年同月比1.4%低下し、生産者物価の下落幅は縮小したものの、消費財価格の下落幅が拡大したことから、消費者へのコスト転嫁が進んでいないことが示された Image
中国のCPI(消費者物価指数)は前年同月比0.2%上昇と、CPI上昇率が0.8%→0.2%へ急減速は、春節休暇の影響が限定的だったことが主な要因であり、非食品価格の下落が主な要因となっている

I made a general agent that solves all 30 steps with no determinism, level skips, or other cheats

agent time (incl. inference): 2m 36s

total real time: 4m 2s (gap is from groq's gateway network latency)

tested many, many different scaffoldings and tool formats. eventually made my own system with fast compactions and simple inter-agent commnuication

final model configuration:
- Kimi K2 Instruct 0905 (through Groq) as the primary fast agent
- Claude Opus 4.6 (through OpenRouter -> Google Vertex) as the intelligent advisor and supporter

final cost from step1 to finish:
- $1.37 for Claude
- $4.98 for Kimi (9.6M total input tokens! and 10k output tokens, across 239 agent turns)
=> $6.35 total

parallel orchestration and UI: tmux (easy to automate) + shared filesystem
final LOC: ~10,000

10 tool primitives available, all implemented through a fast, extremely agent-friendly CDP client

browser used: a real, vanilla Brave! I use these same web agent tools I built to interact with real websites on my behalf all the time, including for my startup

cc @adcock_brett @OpenRouterAI @GroqInc
brief architecture summary:

there's A. a fast small agent run by Kimi, and B. a slower more intelligent agent run by Claude

Kimi gets zero context on how the challenges function and what is a distraction vs what is high-signal. it gets 10 tools and, as fast as possible, tries to apply them (including writing custom JS if needed, using the eval() tool)

one of its most important tools is a read() that compresses the page in a high-signal way to create LLM-friendly output, similar to what a screen reader does. it has zero hardcoded logic for the challenge, so initially this includes many unnecessary popups (until Claude later helps with auto-filtering them)

given the fact that reads, on any page, are the most expensive context-wise, the Kimi agent has its compactions split by read blocks. throw out the turn history of read N (inclusive) to read N+1 (exclusive), because N+1 has up to date information about the page

a good configuration for fast Groq inference is to keep caching up to a high but not absurd input size like 75k tokens, then compress down to a small size (25k in my config). the supermajority of the inference time goes towards reads, so you want to minimize the number of uncached input tokens, which means minimizing the number of prefix switches (compactions)

in the background, starting from 1 second after the Kimi agent fires, is the Claude agent. running roughly once per 5 seconds, it analyzes all of the inputs that Kimi has received since Claude's last turn, as well as all of Kimi's decisions

Claude is able to write JS, with the goal of making any sort of general web helpers that can decrease Kimi's iteration time. in this case it looks like Claude (with no prior knowledge about the page!) inferred that Kimi would benefit from a setInterval that scans for puzzle solution codes
Claude then broadcasts those codes to Kimi's attention using an inter-agent alertAgent() function that Kimi's scaffolding is designed to work with
I spent around 40 hours on this. a lot of it was banging my head against the wall for how to prompt engineer smaller models properly

a significant part of the development iteration is to look at what ways models fail, and think about, in the abstract, what sort of UX improvements would help them

for instance, if a model is frequently hallucinating new tool names or parameters that your scaffolding doesn't actually provide, that's a sign that the LLM intuitively believes those tools would be useful for its current task. that tells you you should strongly consider implementing them!

another example is looking for all possible usage errors the models run into, and how to make the feedback as good as possible. for instance, if they try to interact with element X using a selector Y, and it doesn't exist, you can try to intelligently find other elements who would match a similar selector to Y, then feed back to the model "none found for Y, but did you mean ~Y?"

this is more important when the LLMs are smaller and less intelligent, but good UX for small LLMs then transfers to smoother usage for larger LLMs too

Aktualizacja aukcji skarbowych

Wczoraj ogłoszono kolejne aukcje obligacji skarbowych. Wraz ze wzrostem zainteresowania inwestorów instytucjonalnych skupem obligacji skarbowych, płynność jest odciągana od rynków kryptowalut.

Zakończenie cyklu aukcji zaplanowano na 17 lutego, na dzień przed wydarzeniem katalizującym publikację protokołu z posiedzenia FOMC i notowania dóbr trwałego użytku, które odbędzie się 18 lutego.Image
Dzisiejszy raport o zatrudnieniu zasygnalizował szybki wzrost gospodarki USA. Jeśli sektor dóbr trwałego użytku odnotuje porównywalny wzrost, sektor sztucznej inteligencji odnotuje gwałtowny wzrost.
