Dias atrás eu finalmente consegui assistir ao filme "O Agente Secreto".
Como a película tem 02h40 de duração, foi necessária uma certa organização logística para poder ficar quase 3h dedicados a isso. Não obstante alguns acertos, o filme é ruim. Bem ruim, na verdade.

A ponto de eu ter olhado para o relógio diversas vezes para saber quanto tempo faltava para terminar.
E não tem como falar desse filme sem entregar alguns spoilers da trama.

El capitalismo transforma el mundo cada día, pero destruye toda posibilidad de cambiarlo desde abajo. Nos obliga a vivir en una realidad ajena, como notas al pie de una vida que no nos pertenece. #Capitalismo #Alienación #PensamientoCrítico
La verdadera lucha no es solo económica ni ideológica: es ontológica. Entre ser humano y ser mercancía, entre Adán y el linaje del poder que convierte todo en propiedad. #Humanidad #Resistencia #Ética #Liberación

The time for negotiations are over. The time is here to support the brave indigenous Iranian people dying in the streets in protest, who seek to lift off the heavy yoke of the Islamist colonizers that have enslaved them for 47 years.
Thank G-d President Trump has heard their cries. Iran is the largest state sponsor of t3rror in the Middle East. Supporting the Iranian people in their latest quest for freedom from this regime makes us closer to achieving real peace in the Middle East.

Thomas Aquinas College “Sleight of Hand”: Marketing vs. Reality
1/9 The Humility Paradox Or The Virtue of Self-Regard
TAC markets itself as a place of “formation,” “discipleship,” and “seeking wisdom with humility.” In reality, this language is a sleight of hand, masking a closed, self-congratulatory circle that prizes its own methods as uniquely “close to the truth,” breeding subtle elitism and groupthink.

2/9 Siege Mentality in Disguise
The website praises “participation in ecclesial and political communities” and “friendship in the pursuit of truth,” yet the actual culture is one of siege: us versus the world, the “remnant” against the compromised. What’s claimed as community is really an echo chamber that insulates, not engages.

3/9 Sophistry in the Syllabus: Rigor Theater
The curriculum dazzles with a mile-wide, inch-deep reading list: Bible, Plato, Aquinas, Newton, Marx, Freud, and more. The appearance is of comprehensive mastery.
In practice, the Socratic “discussion method” is so inefficient that only snippets or selections can possibly be covered. There’s zero transparency on how much is read, deliberately. This is rigor theater: all the gravitas, little substance. “Formation in wisdom” is code for time-sliced, shallow, prestige signaling.

ஓ. அப்பழுக்கற்ற நல்ல மனசுக்காரர். நல்லாப் பேசுவார் . என்னை காந்திய இலக்கியச் சங்கத்தில் சேர வர்புறுத்தியவர். சில முறை சண்டைகூட போட்டிருக்கிறேன். Missu ppa 🙏
ராஜாஜி அம்பேத்கருக்கு எழுதிய நூலை மொழிபெயர்த்து கொடுக்கச் சொன்னேன். சரியென்று உடனே செய்து கொடுத்தார் நிறுத்தப் புள்ளியில்லாமல் நீளமாக எழுதியிருந்த பத்திகளை சிறுசிறு வாக்கியங்களாக உடைத்து மாற்றித்தரும்படிக்கு கேட்டேன். அப்படியேசெய்து கொடுத்தார்சிலதை நானே திருத்தியமைக்க அனுமதித்தார
இரு பையன்கன் கல்யாணத்திற்கும் போகவில்லை வீண்பினால். சந்தித்த முதல் நாளே ஏன் போகவில்லை யென சண்டை பிடித்தேன் . அப்போ ஏதோ வீராப்பு வீம்பு இப்பதான் பேசிக்கிடுதேனென நீயும் மன்னிச்சிடுனார். நேர்மையான குணம்.. நிறையா எழுதுனா ஊக்கப்படுத்துவார்.
Um diesem Elend ein Ende zu maken - ich nehme es Sunny null übel, dass sie zu schlichten versucht - aber da ich mit allen, mit denen ich persönlich etwas zu klären hatte, schon geklärt habe, interessiert es mich nicht, was Bohne, Anke, Ritterin und sonstiger Schmutz will! Die
wissen nix und erzählen Lügen über andere hinter deren Rücken und versuchen hier Leute zu islieren. Und der feige bürgerliche Abschaum, der davon weiß und aus Feigheit die Fresse hält, kann sich genauso verpissen. Es gibt hier niemanden auf Twatter mit dem ich etwas zu klären
hätte. Diese Pissgesichter kennen mich auch bicht und wissen nur das, was ich ihnen gesagt habe, weil ich denen nie traute und ich vor allem Bohne verachte und für ein Stück Müll halte. Jeder Versuch mit mir zu reden oder zu schlichten, endet wie jetzt, mit mehr Respektlosigkeit
BREAKING: U.S. Secret Service Agent Assigned to VP JD Vance Leaks Sensitive Security Information to Undercover Reporter.
Escotto is a holdover from the Biden administration and stated that he voted for Joe Biden, while expressing opposition to ICE & the Trump administration’s immigration policies. “I hate that [ICE] sh*t.”
Tomas Escotto, a current U.S. Secret Service agent on Vice President JD Vance’s protective detail, was recorded on hidden camera providing an undercover journalist with sensitive security information, including protective formations, shift schedules, travel plans, & real-time locations.
The Secret Service agent detailed how the Vice President is physically surrounded, described multiple daily shift changes, & disclosed advance security procedures.
In addition to past movements, the agent revealed future travel plans, sometimes days in advance. Escotto even sent images from Air Force Two while onboard with the Vice President.
Despite acknowledging that he signed paperwork prohibiting the disclosure of sensitive information, the Secret Service agent repeatedly shared details with someone he believed was a casual romantic interest.
While the safety of the Vice President and his family was always our top priority, what OMG uncovered raises serious questions about operational security, protocol compliance, and oversight within the U.S. Secret Service.
Our team coordinated with the U.S. Secret Service ahead of publication, redacted sensitive operational details at their request.
We were just informed Tomas Escotto has been placed on administrative leave with his clearance suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked.

Prior to our publication, Secret Service Deputy Director Matthew Quinn sent out a work force memo to all staff regarding our story which states;
“To the Men and Women of the Secret Service,
Over the past several months, an agency employee was deliberately targeted and manipulated by a citizen-journalism media organization that misrepresented itself in an effort to get close to the employee and expose sensitive information. This is the second time in less than a year that our personnel have been subjected to this same deceptive tactic.
Sadly in this instance, the employee failed to meet the standards demanded of this agency and engaged in conduct that runs counter to our values, our policies, and the training we provide to prevent exactly this type of compromise.
I recognize that situations like this can involve real personal pressures, and I do not dismiss the gravity of that. Still, I am disappointed in how this was handled and in the impact it will have on others. When one person falls short, it places an added burden on colleagues who are left to rebuild trust that each of us works hard every day to earn and protect.
The truth is, the overwhelming majority of you get this right. You show up with professionalism, humility, and a deep respect for the privacy of those we protect. You embody service over self, and you honor the discretion that our protectees deserve.
That discretion is not negotiable. Discretion and respect for privacy are fundamental to this work and to the trust placed in us. If someone cannot meet that expectation consistently, then this may not be the right type of profession for them. I would ask those individuals to take a moment to reevaluate why they are here and why we do this job. Our mission demands a higher standard, and we owe it to each other and to those we protect to uphold it.
To the overwhelming majority - the quiet professionals exceeding the standard everyday - thank you for your support, service and sacrifice.”
Deputy Director Matthew Quinn also provided the following statement to OMG directly:
“The U.S. Secret Service has no tolerance for any behavior that could potentially compromise the safety, privacy or trust of our protectees. This incident is under investigation and the employee involved has been placed on administrative leave with his clearance suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked. The U.S. Secret Service has also issued an order for all personnel to retake the agency’s required anti-espionage training in order to ensure employees are aware of the threats posed by individuals aiming to exploit agency employees for information about our protective operations.
The U.S. Secret Service has a 160-year-old tradition of discretion that sets this agency apart, and we have no tolerance for employees who fail to meet this standard. The U.S. Secret Service deeply apologizes to the Vance family for this violation of their trust and privacy. The faith our protectees place in this agency is not something the U.S. Secret Service takes lightly, and we are committed to taking the necessary actions to ensure that a similar breach of standards does not occur again.”

1️⃣ Percentage-based margins = an automatic choke point
With CME Group switching margins to a % of notional value:
• Higher price → higher margin
• Higher volatility → higher margin
• No cap, no relief
Futures become capital-inefficient overnight.
Paper markets depend on leverage.
Remove leverage → liquidity dies.

2️⃣ Margin calls force paper liquidation
As margins rise:
• traders must post more cash
• weaker hands can’t
• positions are forced closed
That means:
→ contracts are liquidated
→ open interest drops
→ paper supply collapses
This is not selling physical metal.
It’s unwinding paper promises.

3️⃣ Shorts get trapped
Most shorts rely on:
• rolling contracts
• cash settlement
• never delivering metal
Higher margins make rolling expensive.
Eventually:
→ shorts must close

Either way:
the paper short mechanism breaks.
