Project Pinto was the codename for a 1979-1983 Israeli operation smuggling ~800 krytrons (nuclear weapon triggers) from the US via front companies (MILCO/Heli Trading, linked to Arnon Milchan) to Israel's nuclear program. Declassified FBI documents allege a young Benjamin Netanyahu, then at Heli Trading, handled logistics and met smuggler Richard Kelly Smyth. Netanyahu reportedly issued a gag order on discussing it.

If legislators always vote with the President, we have a king. If legislators always vote with the prevailing wind, we have mob rule. If legislators always vote with the Constitution, we have a Republic.

It's about damn time!! Bring it on, LFG!!

Imagine living in a society that spares the innocent and punishes the guilty, rather than the opposite.

🇺🇸Asmongold just dropped his most conspiracy-brained take yet, and it’s honestly terrifying: if the assassination culture keeps rising without government intervention, the US will speedrun China’s surveillance state. He predicts wellness checks for internet posts, risk scores that send you to prison before you commit a crime, and total control that makes 1984 look tame.

LFG!

Tether has frozen $3.3 billion across 7,268 wallets and they just added $344 million more On April 23, 2026 Tether froze $344 million in USDT across two Tron wallets in coordination with the US Treasury and OFAC, tied to sanctions enforcement against Iran Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the department "sanctioned several wallets linked to Iran" and would "trace the money Tehran desperately tries to move out of the country" It's the biggest single freeze in stablecoin history and it happened in one transaction Whether the target deserved it or not is not the point, the point is that one company made $344 million vanish from two wallets without a judge, a warrant or an appeal and this was not the first time Since 2023 Tether has blacklisted 7,268 wallets and frozen a combined $3.29 billion In 2025 alone they froze $1.26 billion and permanently burned $698 million of it, meaning the original holders did not get their money back, the tokens were destroyed and new USDT was minted to wallets controlled by the government Only 3.6% of blacklisted wallets ever got unfrozen 33.7% of the addresses had zero balance when they were frozen, which means Tether is freezing the wallets that received the money, not the ones that stole it and most of the time the innocent person holding the money ends up losing it The mechanism is one line of code called addBlackList that only Tether can call There is no court order, no appeal process, no warning and once the function executes all your USDT transfers revert at the block level This works on every chain Tether deploys to, Ethereum, Tron, Solana, Avalanche, TON, Celo and Cosmos Even cold wallets get frozen, offline hardware does not protect you because the freeze happens on the smart contract, not on your device Tether also has a second function called DestroyBlackFunds that burns your tokens and mints new ones to a government wallet and once they use it the tokens are gone forever Paolo Ardoino said "USDT is not a safe haven for illicit activity" which sounds reasonable until you read Tether's own Terms of Service Section 8.15 says Tether can freeze your tokens "as required by applicable law or where Tether, in its sole discretion, determines it is prudent to do so" Which means whenever they want Tether works with 340 law enforcement agencies across 65 countries and has helped process 2,300 investigations In April 2025 a Texas firm called Riverstone Consultancy sued Tether after it froze $45 million of their money at the request of the Bulgarian Police and the suit alleges Tether bypassed every legal procedure required A foreign police force can freeze an American company's balance through Tether before a single court has reviewed the case You hold a dollar token issued by an unaudited company legally based in El Salvador that can erase your balance on request from any of 340 agencies in 65 countries and the only thing required is one function call The banks you avoid needs a court order, an appeal process and an FDIC insurance claim to freeze your account The stablecoin that replaced them needs none of those things

DeFi is dead and most of you still don’t understand what it actually was It was never a financial system. It was a loop designed to manufacture synthetic valuations from minimal capital Protocols didn’t grow capital, they multiplied how it was counted by turning one deposit into multiple positions A token gets emitted, you’re paid to deposit it, and that deposit is recorded as TVL. That’s position one. You borrow stables against that same collateral, deploy them somewhere else, and now that same base capital is supporting a second position on another protocol Then you take the LP token from that, restake or loop it again, and it gets counted a third time Lets simplify it with $100: > You deposit $100 into a protocol, that’s your first position and it’s recorded as $100 TVL > You borrow $80 against that same $100 and deposit it somewhere else, now there’s another $80 being counted > You borrow $60 against that $80 and deploy it again, now that’s another layer You take the receipt from that and loop it one more time On paper you now have $280 across protocols, but in reality its still the same $100 This is the same illusion as altcoins printing billion dollar market caps on tiny float A $2B token with 5% circulating isn’t $2B of value, it’s $100M of liquidity marked higher by thin trading DeFi did the same thing with TVL. Instead of multiplying price across supply, it multiplied the same capital across protocols TVL became FDV in a different format Protocols emitted tokens to LPs, counted those tokens as TVL, then counted the incentivized volume as usage That volume generated fees, fees justified valuation, valuation justified emissions, and the loop continued No external demand was needed and the system kept feeding itself Every narrative ran the same structure. Yield farming, LSDs, restaking, points. Different names for the same mechanic You weren’t earning yield. You were being paid in dilution At the peak, $200B TVL implied capital that never existed. The real base was a fraction of that, looped, leveraged and counted multiple times Each protocol reported it independently, dashboards aggregated it as if it was additive That’s how the industry looked massive This is why altcoin market caps and DeFi TVL broke at the same time Both were built on internal pricing, thin liquidity, and recycled capital. One inflated valuation through float, the other through collateral loops Neither represented real economic scale The fragility came from this exact structure. The hacks weren’t random.... You don’t extract hundreds of millions from systems generating real external cash flow, you extract from systems where the value was already abstract Strip out token denominated TVL, emission based yield, recycled collateral, and wash volume. What’s left is a small set of protocols actually moving capital DeFi didn’t fail. It worked exactly as designed. It took limited capital, looped it, marked it higher, and distributed it Now that the loop is visible, the numbers don’t hold That’s why it doesn’t bounce. There’s nothing underneath it to support the scale it once claimed

Make tar and feathers great again.

Tax Day hits different once you realize your money is going to "Medicaid entrepreneurs" like Mostafa Alahmedi, who has skipped over to Turkmenistan after his Home Care businesses drew a collective $66,487,379 from 2019-2025. @LocalPoliticsis goes over some of the top stories we are tracking today:

Right now there is more “money” in the world than the total value of every product, service and resource on earth combined There is more money than stuff That should break your brain because money is supposed to represent stuff So where did the extra come from Look outside right now Every building, every apartment, every office tower is priced in the millions, billions, trillions combined Do the people living there actually have that money or does the number only exist because someone was allowed to create it Before 1971 money was tied to gold, you couldn’t print what you didn’t have, growth was slow, limited by what people could actually produce Governments didn’t like slow So they removed the gold standard and money became a promise backed by nothing but trust And once that started it couldn’t stop Here’s how it actually works A bank doesn’t lend you someone else’s savings, it creates new money the moment it approves your loan, money that didn’t exist yesterday, now competing for the same houses, stocks and food you were already trying to buy More money chasing the same stuff means prices go up But that new money doesn’t appear in everyone’s pocket at the same time It enters through banks, institutions and the people closest to the system first They buy real assets before prices adjust Real estate, stocks, ownership of everything you’re looking at right now By the time it reaches you everything already costs more while your access to that money is still limited Your wages are the last price to adjust, assets move first, goods move second, your paycheck moves last That’s where wealth transfers happen in plain sight Now here’s the loop that traps you You need debt to access assets that only cost this much because of debt You’re borrowing money that was invented to buy things that are only expensive because money was invented Your house “went up” in value but everything you’d buy with that equity also went up, you gained nothing, you just got taxed more on a number that moved And then they built another layer on top Stocks with valuations based not on what a company earns but on what the market believes it could earn multiplied by liquidity created out of thin air Elon Musk is “worth” almost a trillion dollars He has maybe a couple billion liquid at most But he can borrow against that trillion, real money lent to him against a number that only exists because other people kept bidding it up with money that also didn’t exist until someone typed it into a ledger The richest man on earth is rich because of a price backed by money backed by nothing If everyone tried to sell at the same time that trillion disappears overnight because it was never there, just the last price someone paid multiplied by every share that will never sell at that price You’re not seeing expensive cities and rising prices You’re seeing decades of money created and distributed unevenly before you ever got to touch it That’s why everything looks insanely valuable but nobody feels rich Inflation is the product It’s how the system moves wealth from the people who earn money to the people who create it Everyone else just feels the price of it later

Crazy but true: Maine Dems snuck a provision into the budget that will make YOU pay for any fraud that's uncovered by the Trump administration. @SteveRob explains:

Currently identifying and suspending 208 bots per minute and growing.

Politicians be like.

At this point there is no use for the federal government. They just take from the working class and squander money on genocidal warmongers in Israel. Congress is also effectively useless. The only thing they seem to succeed in is slashing programs that benefit Americans, meaning the very programs WE PAY into.

Holy shit. I’m so sorry that I ever voted for this shit. I’m sorry that I took this dude at his word. No war with Iran? Lie. Release the Epstein files? Lie. Help the crypto space? Eh kinda. All while enriching himself and his family to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars. Trump is off of his fucking rocker. Protect our troops. 🙏🏾
