A good paper on how the jet fuel fires of 9/11 could not possibly have been the cause of the collapse of the Towers.

And, given that several hundred firemen reported hearing and feeling explosions...
And, given that nano-thermite, a very high explosive (only used by the Military) was found in the rubble...
And, given that pools of molten steel were found in the rubble, still molten after weeks
And, given that nano-thermite, a very high explosive (only used by the Military) was found in the rubble...
And, given that pools of molten steel were found in the rubble, still molten after weeks
after 9/11...and we know that nano-thermite can melt steel...
We must conclude that explosives were used, and that 9/11 was an INSIDE JOB.

Science of Satisfaction/Dissatisfaction
One of the quiet engines behind addiction is chronic dissatisfaction. The inner experience of “not enough” can drive us to seek relief, intensity, escape, or numbness. Whether through substances, food, work, screens, risk, or relationships, the pattern is often less about the object and more about the inability to be at ease with what is. 1/
One of the quiet engines behind addiction is chronic dissatisfaction. The inner experience of “not enough” can drive us to seek relief, intensity, escape, or numbness. Whether through substances, food, work, screens, risk, or relationships, the pattern is often less about the object and more about the inability to be at ease with what is. 1/
Psychology has long pointed to this. Researchers in affective neuroscience describe reward circuitry that is not only responsive to pleasure but also shaped by expectation, disappointment, and habit (Berridge & Kringelbach, 2015). Behavioral science shows that when we cannot tolerate discomfort or emotional pain, the brain learns shortcuts that prioritize relief at any cost (Marlatt, 1996). In addiction, this becomes a feedback loop. 2/
Yet there is an important caveat. Not all dissatisfaction is destructive. As Thomas Mann said, “unrest of spirit is a mark of life.” Some measure of dissatisfaction is fuel for growth, invention, healing, and ambition. The same nervous system that seeks relief also drives us to create, improve, connect, aspire, and transform. Dissatisfaction becomes problematic when it collapses into chronic discontent, when it overwhelms our capacity to stay present, or when escape becomes the only available skill. 3/
Hidden within a drab Damascus shopping center sits the unmarked office of Shorouk for Protection, Guarding and Security Services — an unassuming security company that raked in at least $11 million from the United Nations to protect U.N. offices during the Syrian civil war. 
Now, internal documents reveal the company was secretly owned by the intelligence services of former President Bashar Assad’s regime.
As the United Nations poured money into the firm, those intelligence services were engaged in a violent campaign to crush opposition.

In one leaked memo, Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad wrote that ensuring Shorouk and other security firms maintained their U.N. contracts was important because their personnel were monitoring U.N. employees for Assad. icij.org/investigations…
I will also note that the "plane" supposedly hit the wall at a 45 degree angle. So the entry hole should be an ellipse, not a circle.
Also, somehow the wings also went thru that hole. And the tail! 52' tall.
I have to give them credit, whoever did this. They decided to NOT

use explosives to punch holes thru the wall where the wings and tail would be.

Okay, so now I'm looking at two photos: one of the hole in the wall at the Pentagon. And one of the holes in the side of the South Tower, on 9/11.
The amazing thing is that at the South Tower you can see the profile of the plane: you can see where the fuselage penetrated

AND you can see where the plane's wings penetrated. They made their way through thick steel columns.
At the Pentagon, the plane didn't bother to do that. Only the fuselage blew through the wall. The wings...according to the "experts", moved laterally and followed the fuselage

thru its hole. ALSO! th jet fuel did the same. It's amaaaaazing!
And the tail! The giant 52' tail did the same thing. It hunched down in a picosecond and followed the fuselage thru its hole.
What we have here is a good case of "Situational Physics".
Newton would marvel.

"A form as resplendent as the fiery flame" - Sudaranaiya Tirumeni.
In one of the many Tiruppugazh, Arunagirinathar vividly describes how he wants Murugan to appear before him.
How's that? #ShortThread #Murugan

This is a Kesadi Paada description.
Arunagirinathar says,
"You should come to me in a form,
As shapely and resplendent as the fiery flame, manifesting the matured wisdom as the Jnana Svaroopa,
All 6 faces wearing brilliant crowns"
Then, he moves beyond the face.

Who gave them? Devas, of course.

Which are swarmed by bees,
And from which sweet nectar drips down"
By nectar, he's reminded of something

Price action has calmed, but the rebound isn’t supported by strong crypto-specific catalysts and remains fragile. Here’s what the options market is signaling beneath the surface.
OI: Call-Leaning Positioning
Despite BTC trading quietly, options open interest remains dominated by calls. The put-call ratio has dropped sharply over the past two weeks, signaling traders still want exposure to a potential year-end upside move.

Slowing Participation
Options volume over the past 7 days tells a different story: flows have slowed notably, suggesting reduced conviction behind the upside narrative.

Let’s take a closer look👇
Let's start with the header block
Here's what we liked and what we’d do differently👇
✔ The 30% off bar immediately communicates urgency and value. It’s direct, simple, and visible even on mobile.
✔ “Our Best-Selling Product Ever” is an easy, high-impact headline. It builds authority and curiosity in one line.
✔ Product stats add instant credibility. “Sold out 5x,” “2x award winner,” and “3,000+ five-star reviews” serve as quick, scannable proof points.
✔ Consistent CTA placement with “Shop Stem Cell Serum” keeps the focus exactly where it should be: on the hero product.

What We’d Do Differently
❌ The discount bar could clarify if the 30% applies to this product or sitewide for better transparency.
❌ Adding a short benefit line under the header (“Healthier scalp, stronger hair”) could make the offer feel more connected to the outcome.

Shine Brighter!
The world will become darker and darker as we await the return of Jesus! There is no doubt, as the Word of God tells us this.
The world will become darker and darker as we await the return of Jesus! There is no doubt, as the Word of God tells us this.
Isaiah 60:1-3
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
People treat POMC like it’s a list.
ACTH. MSH. β-endorphin.
Stress, appetite, tan, mood.
That’s not what the body is doing.
POMC is where life learned to change shape without dying.
When the field hits, an organism only has a few ways to stay intact:
– distort how it takes light
– distort its internal chemistry
– distort its immune edge
– distort its structure
– distort its experience of the moment
POMC sits behind all of that. One backbone cut into pigments, steroids, opioids and boundary-signals; deciding which deformation keeps you continuous, and which one will snap you.
POMC isn’t signalling. It’s allocation, the organism deciding what part of itself it’s willing to deform to stay alive.
Every field forces a strain. POMC just decides where you’ll spend it.
Leptin, light history, early stress, they’re not “POMC activators.” They rewrite what version of you can survive the moment.
So if you still think POMC is about hunger or a tan, you’re watching the shadows, not the mechanism.
“POMC neurons coordinate multiple homeostatic responses to environmental and physiological stress by integrating signals that regulate energy balance, immune activity, and endocrine output.” — PMID: 15261627

Everyone is debating fiat vs crypto, whether AI is a bubble, or if Gen1 treasury companies are “the future.”
They’re missing the real story:
The financial system is running on assumptions that simply don’t match reality anymore.
This is where the next trillion-dollar platforms will emerge.

Failure #1: Money still settles like it’s the 1970s.
T+2.
Office hours.
Slow collateral movement.
Siloed systems.
Meanwhile AI, crypto, and global liquidity operate 24/7.

Gen1 treasuries pretend volatility doesn’t matter.
Institutions pretend it matters too much.
Both are wrong.
We need systems built to hold BTC/ETH through the full cycle — not get wiped out during a −70% drawdown.
This problem remains unsolved.
