PART II: Implications of plasmid DNA fragments in blood products
Blind spots in the oversight of blood products, leaves the public in a dangerous state of speculation.

Blind spots in the oversight of blood products, leaves the public in a dangerous state of speculation.

Gene fragments encoding 'SV40' and 'Kanamycin,' which are specific to the plasmid DNA used in vaccine manufacturing of mRNA vaccines, have been identified in blood samples.
If these genetic sequences can persist in the bloodstream after vaccination, and potentially end up in blood products such as fresh frozen plasma, whole blood, or cryoprecipitate, what risks might they pose to recipients?"

Australian Red Cross says there is no evidence risk to a recipient. But it does not track the COVID-19 vaccination status of donors, nor has it tested for these genetic components of mRNA vaccines in donated blood. @RedCrossAU
The fire and forget millimeter wave (MMW) radar guidance AGM-114L "Hellfire Longbow" being referred in the War Zone post as "a new anti-drone armament" for the LCS actually ceased production in 2005 and reaches end of life in 2025.

One of the reasons the AGM-114L was dropped from the US Army M-Shorad is the US Army didn't want to pay money to recertify the AGM-114L inventory...

The licence will only be available in a virtual wallet in the Government app, instead of being added to existing Google or Apple wallets. One feature explored by developers allows users to toggle their address on and off on the licence, hiding it from bouncers at bars and clubs
In 1676, a century before cries of liberty echoed in the American Revolution, Virginia was rocked by Bacon’s Rebellion—a fiery uprising fueled by resentment, inequality, and frontier conflict.
Let’s dive into the uprising that shook colonial Virginia. 🧵🇺🇸 #AmRev

Virginia in the 1670s was a colony of stark contrasts. Wealthy planters controlled politics, while poor farmers, indentured servants, and enslaved people struggled to survive. Tensions simmered between the elite and the masses, setting the stage for rebellion.
On Virginia’s frontier, settlers clashed with Native tribes over land, but Governor Berkeley refused their calls for military action, prioritizing peace to protect lucrative trade.

So, in a previous post, we discussed the question of the permanent LBO wealth gain that is typically great with a war condition. We argue that it was a transfer because someone is paying for it.

2/ Today we explain who is paying for it.
We have discussed the benefit of the war economy for the leveraged investors. And today, we have a Treasury secretary (Bessent the hedgie) who benefited handsomely from those policies. AND the #Fed’s Chairman comes from LBO!!!

over a 36-hour livestream, I built a neutron-producing nuclear fusor in my kitchen using Claude.

a few months ago I built a demo fusor that produced plasma—this was nowhere near capable to *actually* do fusion.
I spent the last many weeks gathering parts on ebay, battling Canada post strikes and then speedrunning the assembly using Claude Projects in less than 2 days.

building a fusor to do fusion is an order of magnitude more lethal.

- 30kV/10mA electrostatic precipitator
- 3 mTorr of pressure (253,333x more vacuum than atmospheric)
- bubble counter to count neutrons
- hydrocar to electrolyze my own deuterium

In Sept 2024, the Pentagon went on its largest spending spree since 2008 (reminder: in ‘08 America was fighting 2 wars).
What did they spend tax dollars on?
Glad you asked.👇

Who needs a 5-star restaurant when you can dine at Bistro Le Taxpayer @DeptofDefense.
In September alone, it spent $6.1 million on lobster tail, $16.6 million on ribeye steak, $6.4 million on salmon, and $407,000 on Alaskan king crab!

Fear not, fine dining is not limited to the main course.
$117,787 was spent to deliver hot fresh donuts and another $113,230 was used to order ice cream 79 different times!

I’m seeing a lot of confusion about the Equal Rights Amendment online.
I've been working on the ERA for 13 years & literally wrote a book about it.
So, let me help answer some questions.
1) Yes, it really is a real amendment & fully part of the U.S. Constitution. Full stop.

The ERA has actually BEEN an amendment for 5 years.
There are only 2 requirements of Article V to become an amendment:
1) Pass by 2/3rds in each house of Congress. March 22, 1972 ✅
2) Ratified by 3/4ths of states (38). Jan 27th, 2020 in VA ✅

POTUS has now publicly acknowledged that the ERA is the 28th Amendment.
This does not "make" it the 28th Amendment. (🗣️ it 🗣️already 🗣️has🗣️ been 🗣️since 🗣️2020!).
But, it does help provide notice that the federal government recognizes it as such.

100 years ago, a German historian noticed something:
All cultures have a set life cycle — you can predict when (and how) they'll end.
The early 21st century, he predicted, will spell disaster for big cities...
And a new Caesar shall rise... (thread) 🧵

Oswald Spengler saw cultures as distinct, living organisms.
They are destined to a cycle of birth, growth, decay and death...

He smashed the idea of history as a linear progression, from ancient to medieval to modern.
In "The Decline of the West", he notes similarities across 8 cultures — from Babylonian to West European (Faustian).
