The GME folks were noticing the speech was 1:47 minutes. There is a lot of 1 for 7, 7 for 1 theories there.

The only way to end the power of "the n word" is to allow people to say it.

And to be clear, he doesn't seem to be passing along much in the way of actionable info (that I can discern). Just keeping the mood elevated.

I think based on what Michael has been finding (@mindandEmotion7 on X), the $GME and $BBBY plays are more closely linked to Epstein than most would have guessed and I would not be surprised to see action on them coincide.

e.g. Epstein related arrests are announced same day $GME/$BBBY corporate actions take place.

People bitching about Bondi and Patel is a lot better than them calling us conspiracy theorists and denying everything w/respect to the pedos, satanists, and coup organizers.

I'll happily take this level of progress. It's been a long time coming and I love to see the general public digging into these topics.

And it's not like Bondi has a stellar record on holding Epstein to account. She could be another Lutnick who's about to go on display for all we know.

Sorry not sure why the timestamp offset didn't stick.

After it resolves we can look back and examine who benefited. Right now I have it in the "distraction" category but suspect it'll turn into something more.

The coverage of it is turning almost OJ level. TONS of article hits so obviously it's being given a LOT of oxygen by legacy media. It'll be "the thing I'm supposed to talk about".

It was funny that Trump immediately declared it a "national priority". On one hand it obviously isn't, but on the other hand it was obvious the media was going to make it one.

It's a stretch but there's a reference to "Martha M" of Fox News (Martha MacCallum) Feb 7th. Maybe Martha has an interview that is set to air?

Agreed, the election integrity measures make this extremely risky for the Democrats.

I don't think most are aware how truly wonky elections are in CA, OR, MN, etc. There are ballots just floating all over the place and anyone can turn them in. They actively toss ballots that answered wrong. Voter rolls are polluted. etc. etc. etc.

The very fact that they had to do these things to win indicates that their plurality is an illusion.

Critical that real voters turnout though.

The one thing I can say is that it seems very geared towards shareholder validation. That is, being able to validate someone as a shareholder or not. I think it's an open question if the current position will also be associated with the token. If it is--that is a huge deal.

I don't think there's any inherent value to the token itself, it just would prove you own the shares.

Think of it as your shareholder ID.

To give you an idea of how targeted this narrative is and how few of the general public are even aware of it:

I work elections in a mostly black neighborhood in a state that has voter ID, and 100% of them have their ID and it's a total non-issue (i.e. we've never even had to turn someone away for not having ID).

But there was one time a descendant of some regional civil rights magnate came in (with her ID), and pretty much had a mental breakdown on the spot when asked for it.

The greatest threat to voter ID is, unfortunately, elected Republicans.

Was a bit horrified to learn earlier this week that "influencers" on X are refraining from posting primary sources because they know/suspect it reduces their reach.

Needs to be fixed ASAP and any post that can link to primary sources, should link to primary sources. It's simply a good habit to form as we replace the legacy media.

It's interesting that Kamala has probably cashed in on her corruption less than just about any Democrat.

Yeah, she slept her way into some top roles, but I'm not aware of her overtly indulging the way Pelosi, Waters, Clinton, Obama, Omar, et al. did. They all clearly hit a point where they rightfully didn't fear any sort of investigation or consequences.

I really can't discern what motivates Harris. She seems happiest and most comfortable when she's cooking.

Kirsch might actually have a shot at getting the data, see the study author's response in the comments:

"Nevertheless, any other person or structure, whether public or private, has the right to fully access the same SNDS data, upon official request to the French Health Data Hub (https://www.health-data-hub.fr/). Access to these data is not automatic and requires more than a simple request; it necessitates a scientifically sound protocol and proven expertise in data extraction and analysis."

It's worth reviewing, but I think until scientists and government are willing to release the underlying data, they won't find much public appetite for "scientific" analysis & summaries of said data.

The comments at the bottom get to the thrust of what is problematic.

One thing I remain grateful for is that neither vaccination nor viral raw-dogging it has proven to be an extinction level strategy.

Pretti getting taps played at the VA ICU where he worked. Haven't been tracking this one too closely but it's clearly been promoted to "event" level so I think it's important to track comms & public perception around it.

Be more funny if Walz gave unconstitutional orders and the guard disobeyed him.

I hope we see more of Bessent in public service. He's part comedian, part assassin.
