100 million Russians just lost access to WhatsApp overnight.

Moscow claims they're "cracking down on fraud."

But now civilians have 2 options:

Abandon contact with family, or surrender to Russia's chilling alternative.

Here's the terrifying app Moscow just engineered: Image Most Russians abandoned regular phone calls years ago.

WhatsApp and Telegram handle 30-40% of all voice communications.

Cheaper. Encrypted. Essential.

Until August 2025:

Americans pay 8X more than Europeans for EXACTLY the same drugs.

When Trump figured out the scam, he warned Big Pharma:

"Cut the prices in 60 days, or make the world pay."

Pfizer, Ozempic, and Eli Lilly just hit back.

Americans pay 8x more for the exact same medications.

Insulin?

$300 in America vs $30 in Germany.

But one man decided to end this system entirely...

President Trump is about to rewrite federal history.

He just revealed a 55-year-old law he wants to demolish...

And stocks surged 42% overnight.

You're tired of hearing about AI and tariffs.

Here's the $63 BILLION industry Trump's about to unchain: Image Bear with me on this one.

Cannabis is classified as Schedule One - the strictest bracket.

Trump just SLAPPED Canada with 35% tariffs overnight.

If they dodge them? Another 40% fine.

Meanwhile, Mexico got 90 days to negotiate tariffs with Trump.

Canada got 0.

Here's the reason behind the brutal difference (it's genius): Image On July 31, Trump made two shocking announcements:

Mexico received a 90-day extension to avoid 25% tariffs.

Canada gets hit with 35% tariffs.

No negotiation. No grace period.

Why the dramatic difference?

No one listened.

But when the '08 bubble burst wiped out $17+ Trillion...

No one was laughing.

Here’s why his latest $1.6 BILLION bet has Wall Street listening: Image Burry isn't your typical Wall Street prophet making vague predictions.

He's the hedge fund manager who turned $750 million in profits from the 2008 crash.

While others lost everything, his investors gained 489%.

Now he's betting against the market again...

In 2022 alone, Taylor Swift made $1.1 Billion WITHOUT a record deal.

She didn’t drop a new album. She didn’t tour. She didn't do commercials.

Her secret?

ONE genius move I can’t believe the music industry let happen: Image Most artists accept defeat when they lose their masters. Not Taylor.

In 2019, her life's work was sold for $300 million without her consent.

6 albums gone to Scooter Braun, then flipped to Shamrock Capital.

Everyone thought she'd lost.

They had no idea what was coming...

In 2014, this guy sold Twitch to Amazon for $1 Billion...

Then vanished overnight.

Today, Twitch is worth $46+ BILLION and has 240+ million users.

Here's why he walked away (before realizing what he had): 🧵 Image Justin Kan wasn't your typical Silicon Valley founder.

He started by streaming his entire life online 24/7.

People called him crazy.

But that "crazy" experiment became , which evolved into something nobody expected... Justin.tv

Scale AI's CEO never finished college.

Instead, he read ONE Stanford textbook—and built a $14 BILLION company at 23.

How? A learning method so powerful, it’s now taught in colleges.

Here's his genius framework for learning anything fast: 🧵 Image While his MIT classmates sat through 4-year programs,

Alexandr Wang lasted exactly one year.

Not because he failed.

Because he spotted something everyone else missed.

The real AI revolution wasn't happening in classrooms...

At 23, Daniel Ek built Spotify in a tiny flat in Sweden.

By 27, it was worth $1 Billion.

Then, Tim Cook and Apple CRUSHED it with one brutal move.

What happened next sparked the biggest war in music history.

Here’s the wild story: 🧵 Image Back in the mid-2000s, the music industry was struggling.

Piracy was rampant. CD sales were plummeting.

This MIT economist just dropped a chilling prediction:

“AI will make your skills worthless. A Mad Max economy is coming.”

But those who build a "specific type of income" will survive what's coming.

Time is running out. Here’s how to do it: ⬇️ Image Let's make one thing clear:

David Autor isn't some random doomsayer.

He's the MIT economist whose China Shock research transformed how we understand job displacement.

His predictions shaped federal policy for decades.

Now he sees something far worse coming...

Not by wishing or manifesting.

But with a 4-step mental model that built his $95 BILLION empire... ⬇️ Image Patrick and his brother John sold their first company for $5 million while still teenagers.

Then dropped out of Harvard and MIT.

Not to grind harder.

But to discover a counterintuitive approach that would build a payments empire...

Everyone laughed at Jeff Bezos for building a $42 Million clock inside a mountain.

Especially since it's built to last 10,000 years and powered by sunlight.

And while critics call it a "vanity project"...

It's actually a warning of the future he sees coming... ⬇️ Image This isn't just any clock.

It's 500 feet tall, built inside a remote Texas mountain, designed to tick once a year.

The century hand moves every 100 years.

A cuckoo emerges every 1,000 years.

But why would Bezos build this?

Elon Musk just launched over 7,600 Starlink satellites.

Not for better Wi-Fi or cell service.

But as the next phase of his $2+ TRILLION plan to leave Earth.

Here's how Starlink (literally) just got him one step closer: ⬇️ Image Most people think satellite internet is just for rural areas.

Or emergency backup when cable fails.

Even the experts focus on download speeds and coverage maps.

But Starlink isn't competing with Comcast.

It's building something far more ambitious...

In 2009, Domino’s Pizza was a national joke.

They lost $1.4 Billion. Customers hated their "cardboard flavor."

Instead of fighting it, they admitted the truth—and turned it into a
$15 Billion comeback.

Here’s the full story: Image Picture this:

A national pizza chain where customers describe the product as "cardboard."

Where people rate the pizza lower just because of the name on the box.

That was Domino's in 2009.

But the real damage went deeper than bad reviews...

And turned it into a $7+ Billion empire.

Here's how he did it: Image Johnny Boufarhat's life changed forever after a trip to Southeast Asia.

A rare bug attacked his body in 2015.

George Clooney made $300 million from movies.

But he made BILLIONS from a drink he never meant to sell.

What started as a "drunken chat" became his biggest payday ever.

Here's how he turned a "hangover" into an empire: Image The year was 2010.

Clooney was at his Mexico vacation home.

He and his friend Rande Gerber kept ordering tequila at local bars.

Every bottle disappointed them.

Everyone thinks Steve Jobs "saved Apple."

But they're wrong.

In 1996, Apple lost $1 billion and was 90 days from bankruptcy.

Until one man pulled off a "last-second miracle."

How did Jobs thank him?

No one could believe it... ⬇️ Image Picture this:

Apple's board meeting on January 31, 1996.

They weren't there to hire a new CEO.

They were there to sell the company.

That's how desperate things had become.
