Before you go believing the lies about Pauline Hanson wanting to deport ethnic Australian Citizens, listen to the part of her maiden speech where she invites them to be embraced by Australian culture and calls them first class citizens.
Do you hate your govt?
Does your govt hate you....?
Could this dynamic have been socially engineered and could it be the foundation of everything that's about to unfold?
We're about to find out.

Great list. My family and I have been and are continuing to aggressively pursue all 10 of these points.

A former member of a secret society says sex drive and wealth come from the same place. The hunger that keeps people up at night, he says, is the same hunger that builds empires.
The man is Kevin Trudeau, and he says it plainly: those who create a lot in life have a large sexual drive as well. Sexual energy is creative energy, and making money is just another way to spend it, the same as painting, cooking or building anything at all.
What separates the builders from everyone else is what they do with that energy before it’s gone.
Trudeau calls it transmutation. Take a strong desire and push it into work, a business or a deal, and that work suddenly has “a lot of juice behind it.” Things move faster and come to fruition stronger. He claims the super wealthy don’t rely on business plans at all, but on rituals like this one, passed down in the secret society he says he was part of. Of all the rituals he learned there, this was the one he was most excited to practice.
The idea isn’t new. In 1937, Napoleon Hill gave a whole chapter of Think and Grow Rich to “sex transmutation,” and generations of salesmen have read it since. Trudeau adds a warning Hill mostly skipped: with very powerful people, the same drive can turn into a slippery slope.
The fuel is the same, and the only question is whether it ends up in a bedroom or a bank account.
So the next time it’s 2 AM and you’re too wired to sleep, open the laptop instead of the apps, and save this post for that night.

A billionaire sat in a room for 42 minutes and listed every psychological trick that makes people lose money. for free. the finance industry has spent thirty years pretending this recording does not exist.
he didn't sell a course. he didn't write a newsletter. he sat in a chair at 96 years old and explained why brilliant people do the dumbest things with their money. then he explained why they will keep doing it.
MBA programs charge $200,000 to teach behavioral finance. he covered 25 biases in one sitting. some of them are still not in any curriculum. he gave the entire framework away on camera.
the part nobody talks about: he called crypto antisocial. he said index funds will crush most managers. he said private equity is full of wretched excess. he said all of this in a room full of people who manage money for a living. nobody argued.
a hedge fund analyst at a top firm told me this is the first thing they send to anyone who joins the desk. not a book. not a model. a 42-minute video of a 96-year-old man explaining why you will be wrong and how to recognize it before it costs you everything.
40 million people have heard his name. almost none of them have watched him explain the 25 ways their own brain is working against them.
the lecture is free. he died the following year. it is in the video.

A billionaire literally explained how the entire economy works in 42 minutes better than most $200,000 MBA programs ever cloud.

Marc Andreessen revealed how Harvard Business School was built on a broken 1941 theory, and how it's now collapsing...
Andreessen co-founded Netscape in 1994 and a16z in 2009.
He has sat on Meta's board since 2008.
He has spent 30 years backing founders and watching managerial CEOs lose to them.
The pattern traces back to one book: James Burnham's The Machiavellians (1941).
Burnham argued every great company had been founder-run.
Henry Ford ran Ford. Bob Noyce ran Intel.
Today, Elon Musk runs Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink.
Then, he said, something broke.
Between the 1880s and the 1920s, a new philosophy replaced the founder. It was called managerialism.
The professional manager would now hold a portable skill, usable across any business.
The consequences were:
- Harvard Business School
- Stanford Business School
- Management as a universal skill
- The 1970s conglomerate
"That assumes the managers are going to do a good job," Andreessen says.
For 30 years, they haven't.
Managers can run something static, he says. Soup is soup. A bank is a bank. A car is a car.
But when the industry changes, the manager freezes.
Look at SpaceX.
"Imagine being a professionally trained manager, trained at a top management school, working for a rocket launch company, competing with SpaceX."
Then Elon's rockets started landing on their butt.
"Your management skills ... what good are they at that point?"
Andreessen's conclusion:
"You're much more likely to build something important in the 21st century if you start with the founder and train them on management."
The AI dilemma is they’re kneecapping their own customer base, hence the economics don’t stack up past the short run.
ED DOWD: DEBT-FUELED GROWTH AND THE AI BOOM ARE STEERING AMERICA TOWARD COLLAPSE
Record government spending, a massive AI buildout, and falling labor-force participation are economic warning signs, not proof of a healthy U.S. economy, analyst Ed Dowd argues.
Dowd says an expanding credit cycle is keeping growth afloat. When borrowing becomes the economy's engine, that dependence breeds fragility rather than strength.
The AI boom adds another risk: enormous investments in data centers and infrastructure rely on cheap capital, dependable energy, and financial returns that have yet to materialize.
@DowdEdward joins us to unpack the credit cycle, AI bubble, and weakening labor participation, and what they could mean for America’s economic future.
Interesting insight for an increasingly pornographic world.
On January 23, 1989, Ted Bundy had less than 24 hours to live. He had confessed to killing 30 women across seven states. He escaped from custody twice. He defended himself in court, and the judge who sentenced him to death told him he would have made a good lawyer.
Outside Florida State Prison, a crowd was already gathering. People were selling T-shirts. Some brought frying pans to bang when the news came.
In the video below, the most notorious serial killer in American history sits across from psychologist James Dobson and tries to explain where it all came from.
Not with a murder. With a magazine.
He said he grew up in a good Christian home. Two loving parents. He called himself a normal person with good friends and a normal life.
Then, as a boy, he found pornography. And like an addiction, he said, he kept craving something harder. Something more vivid. Until looking was no longer enough.
He speaks calmly. Almost politely. The voice of a former law student who knows how to hold a room.
Then he says the line nobody expected from him.
"I think society deserves to be protected from me and from others like me."
At 7:16 the next morning he was executed in the electric chair. The crowd outside cheered.
People still argue about this tape. Some call it the most honest thing he ever said. Others call it his final manipulation, one last story from a man who lied to everyone for 15 years.
Was this a real confession, or the last performance of a born liar?

🇺🇸 America could be heading toward a crisis bigger than anything we've seen in generations.
I spoke with Neil Howe, the historian behind The Fourth Turning, as reports of a constitutional confrontation in Poland were unfolding live.
What made the timing extraordinary was everything else happening around us.
The AI selloff is accelerating. Another war with Iran is looking increasingly possible. Political tensions are rising across Europe, and the US is heading into another bitterly contested election.
Neil has spent decades studying what happens when societies reach moments like this.
He sees three major dangers: a devastating financial crash, a breakdown of political institutions, and a major international war.
But what really caught my attention was his explanation of how they feed into one another.
An economic collapse can destroy public confidence. Political paralysis can invite foreign aggression. And a war can push an already fragile financial system over the edge.
We discussed America's deep political divisions, the possibility of rival centers of government emerging during a constitutional crisis, and why countries that have experienced war are taking civilian preparedness far more seriously than Americans.
Neil also raised something I hadn't considered enough.
We're building an economy increasingly dependent on AI, enormous data centers and interconnected infrastructure, while the power grids and communications networks supporting it remain vulnerable to disruption.
His concern isn't that catastrophe is inevitable, but that Americans have grown accustomed to assuming major crises happen somewhere else.
And as we spoke, the incoming reports of a possible coup in Warsaw was a reminder of how quickly political confrontations can escalate.
The next great crisis may not arrive as one dramatic event, but as several crises hitting at once, each making the others harder to contain.
@HoweGeneration
A big freeze plus no power will relegate a corrupt system to the dustbin of history. America First must restore the Constitution.

The housing supply and affordability crisis is a scam - created by design.
Planning laws are a weapon for regulatory plunder.
Councils are the fiefdoms running it, backed by the state and the courts.
We held lawful permits and binding tribunal decisions.
Council was authorised to ignore them, change the rules mid-project, freeze the works, and leave the house unfinished.
A man walked straight in.
A violent home invasion followed.
It was not unforeseeable.
They spent over half a million in public money covering their tracks while the courts piled on costs against us for daring to expose it.
Now they’re trying to bankrupt us for refusing to fund the lawlessness.
Victorian election in 30 days.
